Chapter 171 contains a lot of information.
"Cousin, Zhou Ping'an's parents passed away a long time ago," Yao Shula whispered in Miao Yamin's ear.
Upon hearing this, Miao Yamin instinctively exclaimed, "Oh, that's quite pitiful!"
Yao Shula...
She had originally intended to say that there wouldn't be any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts between Zhou Ping'an and her, but seeing Miao Yamin's expression...
Yeah, being single is fine too. Being single like me can be just as comfortable.
"Cousin, just ignore your ex and focus on your work." Yao Shula immediately changed the subject.
Miao Yamin nodded in agreement. Yes, her goal now is to become a good teacher.
After this little incident, Yao Shula and Miao Yamin had more to talk about.
They rambled on about everything under the sun, from Yao Shuli's studies to Zhong Xiaochun's restaurant business, and then to Yao Chunian's spiced peanut stall.
But no matter what she says, Yao Shula always thinks of one scene.
These are all places I took Xiaotian to by myself...
Oh, the terrible withdrawal symptoms!
All she can do now is take care of her home and sell her popsicles!
...
Yao Shula and her two siblings were thinking about Xiao Tiantian, and Xiao Tiantian was also thinking about her eldest sister's family in Yun County.
That morning, as soon as they got in the car and left Yun County, Xiao Tiantian clung to the car window, her eyes reddening.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin tried to coax him, but he ignored them.
"It would be great if we could bring my older sister and the others along. They've never been to Shanghai before. It would be wonderful to take them there for a trip!"
Xiao Tiantian grew angrier the more she thought about it. It was all her older brother's and cousin's fault. Why were they rushing her like that? They couldn't even say goodbye to her older sister properly.
"It's all your fault!" Xiao Tiantian suddenly turned around angrily and yelled at Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin.
Two people are eating peanuts...
Ironically, as soon as he left Yun County and Yao Shula, the spoiled and unreasonable Xiao Tiantian immediately returned.
"Have some?" Lei Jingwu placed the jar of peanuts in front of Xiao Tiantian.
"I won't eat!" Little Tiantian turned her head away with great pride.
“Your eldest sister prepared it!” Gu Changqin interjected.
Xiao Tiantian immediately turned around, took the jar of peanuts from Lei Jingwu's hands, grabbed a handful and put them in his pocket, then closed the lid and hugged the jar tightly to his chest.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin both laughed.
"Tian Tian, when we get back to Shanghai, what should you buy for your older sister and the others?" Lei Jingwu coaxed little Tian Tian.
"I don't know, I'll just buy whatever my older sister likes." Xiao Tiantian continued looking out the window.
Gu Changqin immediately came over.
"Yes, you must buy things your older sister likes. Think about it, how good your older sister is to you!"
She treats her like a younger brother; this older sister is someone you have to keep an eye on, lest someone else snatch her away.
Where else could you find such a wonderful older sister?
Xiao Tiantian's eyes lit up immediately.
"Right! My cousin is right. Where can you find such a wonderful older sister? My older sister is so good to me!"
They cook delicious food for me, and they take me with them when they go grocery shopping, afraid I'll get lost.
When I went to bed at night, they would swat away the mosquitoes in my mosquito net to prevent me from being bitten, and they would also apply prickly heat powder to me to prevent me from getting prickly heat.
I even asked my grandma to make me little cloth shoes!
There's no other woman like her. I must buy her and her family lots of things when I go back to Shanghai this time.
Xiao Tiantian became happier and happier as she talked, and finally stopped being so angry.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin both understood.
Actually, Tian Tian is very easy to coax. No matter how angry or upset he is, just praise Yao Shula.
The more you praise him, the happier the little guy becomes.
So the two of them immediately joined the praise group, praising Yao Shula together with Xiao Tiantian.
In the end, Yao Shula was praised as the best and most outstanding elder sister of the 1980s, unparalleled in heaven and earth!
Lei Jingwu eventually realized he had overpraised himself.
He thought that if Yao Shula were here, hearing them praise her like that, she would probably grab his collar and ask, "Lei Jingwu, what did I do to offend you that you're insulting me like this!"
...
Xiao Tiantian didn't just tell Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin how great Yao Shula was; she said the same thing to everyone else.
The day after he returned to Shanghai with Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin was the birthday of the Lei family patriarch.
That day, the Lei family's courtyard was truly packed with distinguished guests.
Grandpa Lei lived in a large compound, in a two-story house with his own entrance. The yard was quite large, with plenty of flowers, plants, and greenery, making the whole place lush and verdant.
Xiao Tiantian arrived in Shanghai around 9 p.m. last night.
After a bumpy journey, Xiao Tiantian fell asleep from exhaustion when they entered Shanghai.
Grandpa Lei was overjoyed to see his grandson, who had grown much stronger, and immediately let Xiao Tiantian sleep in his bed.
Xiao Tian slept until after nine o'clock the next morning.
...
"Grandpa, this is my birthday present for you!" Little Tiantian excitedly ran into Grandpa Lei's reception room with two pairs of cloth shoes in his arms.
In the reception room, Old Master Lei was talking to Old Master Gu.
When the two of them saw Xiaotian come in, they immediately couldn't stop smiling.
"Tian Tian seems to have gotten a bit stronger!" Old Master Gu was a little surprised.
"Absolutely! She's not picky about food at all now! This morning she had a bowl of porridge with me, ate two eggs, and even a basket of steamed buns!" Grandpa Lei said proudly.
The old man of the Gu family could hardly believe it.
He knew that his grandson was a picky eater.
"Wow, you're so amazing now!"
Grandpa Lei smiled and nodded, and was about to reach out and pull Xiao Tiantian into his arms.
Xiao Tiantian smiled, took two steps back, then bent down and knelt down to kowtow to Grandpa Lei.
Happy birthday, Grandpa! May your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountains!
After saying that, he glanced at the two pairs of cloth shoes beside him and respectfully handed the pair that belonged to Grandpa Lei to him.
"A gift for Grandpa?" Grandpa Lei was a little surprised.
"Yes, I earned the money myself, and then I asked my older sister's grandmother to make it."
My older sister's grandmother is incredibly skilled; the shoes she makes are so comfortable to wear!
In Yun County, I always wear cloth shoes made by my eldest sister's grandmother, and my feet never hurt no matter how much I run around!
Grandpa, I told my eldest sister's grandma that you have a foot injury and that regular shoes are uncomfortable for you.
"Grandpa's shoes need to be a little higher up." Little Tiantian said, handing another pair of shoes to Grandpa Gu.
Grandpa Gu was also stunned.
"And mine?"
"Yes, I'll definitely be at school when it's Grandpa's birthday, so I might not be able to come back. I'll send the gift in advance."
Grandpa, Grandpa, try them on and see if they fit!
"I'll earn money to make cotton shoes for Grandpa and Grandma when winter comes!" Little Tian urged the two old people to try on the shoes quickly.
Grandpa Lei and Grandpa Gu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
Tian Tian just said a lot of information; they need to ask her about it carefully!
