Chapter 150 touched my heart.
Yao Shula used the gift chosen by Xiaotian.
The morning after the meeting, after breakfast, Yao Shula locked the door and took her younger siblings to the department store.
She saw the kind of fabric that Xiaotian had mentioned.
It's made of wool, which is suitable for making clothes to wear in autumn and winter. It feels great to the touch.
Of course, the price is also very high.
...
By the time Yao Shula and her younger siblings came out of the department store, they had already spent thirty yuan.
Although she felt a little heartbroken, Yao Shula knew that the money was worth spending.
Although Grandma Yao did not live with them, she firmly stood by their side ever since they fell out with Yao Guohua.
Grandma Yao gave the siblings the five yuan she got from Yao Guohua without hesitation.
"Big sister, buy two more packs of sponge cakes to take with you that day."
We still have two cans of malted milk powder that my older brother brought last time. We'll give one can to Grandma and buy her some small sesame cakes.
When I went to my grandma's house for dinner before, I saw that she liked to eat those small sesame cakes and she ate them with great relish.
"The little quilt that Shuli and I used to cover our popsicles was sewn by Grandma, so we can thank her together this time," Xiaotian continued, sharing her thoughts.
Yao Shula smiled and agreed.
...
On Grandma Yao's birthday, the four siblings all got up very early.
The day before, Zhong Xiaochun brought over the fried noodles that Grandma Yao had cooked.
Yao Shula boiled water, put two large spoonfuls of fried noodles and half a spoonful of white sugar into each of the four bowls, then poured boiling water over them and stirred.
The aroma of wheat immediately filled my nostrils.
This was Xiaotian's first time eating fried noodles, and he ate the whole half bowl clean.
After they finished eating, Yao Shula cut off the faded velvet flowers that Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian had worn on the Dragon Boat Festival, which were now completely unrecognizable, and threw them onto the roof.
Little Tiantian looked up for a long time, waiting for the magpie to come and carry the fluffy flower away...
"Sister, is that a magpie?" Little Tian asked excitedly, pointing to a black bird that flew by.
"No, I don't know whose myna bird flew out!" Yao Shula said.
Little Tiantian...
...
At 11:30, Yao Shula led her younger siblings through the gate of the Yao family's old house.
Before even entering the gate, I could smell the aroma of mutton.
The four siblings all took a deep breath.
Inside the kitchen, Grandma Yao was directing Aunt Yao to add salt to the mutton soup.
Zhong Xiaochun and several other women who had just returned from get off work were busy with their own things.
Yao Shula glanced at the dishes and saw that there were quite a few today!
There were two large pots in the kitchen. One pot was simmering mutton soup, and the other pot was simmering braised mutton. It seemed that a lot of mutton had been bought today.
There are also some other dishes...
"Happy birthday, Grandma!" Yao Shula quickly presented the things in her hands to Grandma Yao.
The three children also presented their belongings to Grandma Yao.
Upon seeing this, Grandma Yao quickly wiped her hands on her apron.
"This is... how much stuff did you buy! This isn't a big birthday celebration for Grandma, it's just a casual one. I invited you over for some mutton soup."
Look at you all... how could you buy so much stuff! Aren't you living your own lives anymore?!
Grandma Yao felt a little distressed looking at the things Yao Shula and the others had brought.
She originally thought that the child would only need to bring two bags of sponge cakes, but who knew...
Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli eagerly pulled Grandma Yao to look at the things they had brought.
"Chicken cake, Grandma can have a couple of bites if she's hungry tonight."
There's also malted milk powder. Grandma remembers to mix it and drink it; all the old ladies outside love to drink this stuff.
Grandma also loves small sesame cakes.
Grandma, look, this is the best material we specially picked out for you.
Look, whether you make clothes or pants, they'll definitely look great.
If you wore clothes made of this material, you would definitely be the most fashionable grandma in Yun County.
Our sister and I didn't know your measurements, so we didn't dare touch it for fear of damaging the material.
"Knowing that Grandma is skilled, she can definitely make the most beautiful clothes," Little Tian excitedly told Grandma Yao.
Grandma Yao's eyes could hardly keep up with everything.
He touched the woolen fabric with his hands, his eyes filled with joy.
What fine material!
If this material were made into clothes for the deceased, it would definitely be presentable and beautiful...
"How much money will this cost!" Grandma Yao sighed.
“It’s only right to spend money on Grandma,” Yao Shuli said hurriedly.
Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin remained silent, both smiling as they looked at Grandma Yao.
It seems this gift really touched Grandma Yao's heart. Look how happy she is! She doesn't even mention things like, "It's fine as long as the person comes, but they don't need to bring anything," like she used to.
"My little darlings! You've all done this... I don't even know what to say!" Grandma Yao's eyes were a little red.
Yao Shula quickly spoke up as well.
"Grandma, it's your birthday, so this is only right! You can take your time to think about what clothes to wear when you have some free time!"
"Is there anything we can help you with?" Yao Shula said, rolling up her sleeves to go into the kitchen to help.
Grandma Yao quickly pulled her away.
"You can look after the younger ones outside. Your sisters-in-law are helping out in the kitchen!"
Just sit outside and wait for your meal.
As she spoke, Grandma Yao patted Yao Shula on the shoulder.
What a wonderful granddaughter! She has raised her younger siblings so well!
Sigh, that blind third brother, he just wasn't meant to be!
...
During the meal, Grandma Yao pulled Yao Shula and her three siblings to sit on her side.
There were two tables set up in the kitchen, and the dishes on each table were the same.
Each table had a pot of mutton soup, a large bowl of braised mutton, stir-fried green peppers with eggs, shredded pork with chives, stir-fried greens, cucumber salad, and sugar-coated persimmons.
There weren't many dishes, but the portions were generous.
Grandma Yao put a large piece of braised mutton in everyone's bowl, and even picked out a piece of meat with both fat and lean meat for Xiao Tiantian, who was sitting next to her.
"You're losing your baby teeth now, so eat some of this, otherwise it'll be hard to chew!"
"Thank you, Grandma!" Little Tiantian immediately gave Grandma Yao a sweet smile.
Everyone enjoyed the meal. Once the food was ready, no one had time to chat; everyone just ate in silence.
Yao Shula ate with relish, taking a bite of lamb leg meat, drinking a bowl of lamb soup, and eating some other dishes.
However, during the meal, Yao Shula noticed that her aunt glared at her third sister-in-law, Zhong Xiaochun, several times.
Zhong Xiaochun just smiled and didn't say a word.
Yao Shula found it strange.
You know, recently my aunt has been kept very well-behaved by her four daughters-in-law. Let alone rolling her eyes at Zhong Xiaochun like just now, she shouldn't have given Zhong Xiaochun a hard time, just because the mutton on the table today was brought by Zhong Xiaochun's father.
There's definitely something fishy going on here!
