Chapter 99 Auntie is Here
Yao Shula looked at the envelope in her hand and counted it twice.
The meat coupons, sugar coupons, and oil coupons are all correct, but the monthly amount is wrong; there's an extra five yuan.
“Boss, this money… there’s an extra five yuan. Could it be that it was given out early for the Dragon Boat Festival?” Yao Shula asked the union chairman cautiously.
It's very likely that the factory gave everyone a holiday bonus.
It definitely wasn't the money from Yao Guohua's salary increase.
The union chairman quickly gestured for Yao Shula to lower her voice.
"Dragon Boat Festival benefits don't come out so quickly; you'll have to wait until next month at the earliest."
Don't worry, it's for the Dragon Boat Festival, it has nothing to do with this.
"This is something your grandmother secretly fought for for you..." The union chairman also lowered his voice.
After the union chairman explained what had happened to Yao Shula, she finally understood what was going on.
So Grandma made such a big scene at the factory gate just to get more money from them...
Yao Shula didn't know what to say.
"Shura, your dad is a scoundrel, blinded by greed."
But your grandma was really good to you!
Your dad doesn't know about this. Your grandma told me secretly, and asked me to give you the extra five yuan each month.
"You siblings have had a tough time, don't take your heartless father to heart," the union chairman said with a smile.
Yao Shula nodded, put the envelope away, and thanked the union chairman.
"The Dragon Boat Festival benefits will be distributed in another two weeks, remember to come and collect them!"
Shura, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. You don't need to bother your grandma.
Your grandma is quite old, and the weather is hot now! It's tiring for her to run around like this..."
The union chairman escorted Yao Shula all the way to the office building.
...
After returning home, Yao Shula told the younger children about the extra five yuan.
Still holding the book in her hand, Yao Shuxin immediately said, "Grandma has always been very good!"
“Yes, Grandma is very good to us!” Yao Shuli said.
"Grandma is the best! She always brings me food whenever I visit!" Xiao Tiantian added.
"Okay, it's good that you know Grandma is doing well! Tomorrow is Sunday, I'll take you to see Grandma," Yao Shula said with a smile.
The younger ones immediately agreed.
...
The next day, Yao Shula led the three children toward the Yao family's old house.
They didn't go empty-handed; they all brought something.
Small sesame cakes, sponge cakes, a bag of brown sugar candies, and a bag of mung bean cakes that are only available around the Dragon Boat Festival.
Grandma Yao secretly secured five yuan for the siblings each month, and Yao Shula wanted to reciprocate.
That's how relationships are maintained.
Even with the closest relatives, you can't expect them to be kind to you while you remain stingy.
Over time, even your own parents will get annoyed with you...
Yao Shula led her younger siblings into the gate of Old Yao's house.
As soon as I entered the gate, I could hear that the kitchen area seemed more lively than before.
She went closer to take a look and saw a middle-aged woman who looked to be under fifty years old in the kitchen.
She was helping Grandma Yao and Aunt Yao make dumplings while talking to Grandma Yao!
Yao Shula looked at it carefully; it looked somewhat familiar…
"Oh, Shura's here! Perfect timing, your aunt's back too."
"Come in and sit down!" Grandma Yao, who was facing the door, spotted Yao Shula at a glance and quickly invited her in.
Zhong Xiaochun, who was busy rolling out the dumpling wrappers, quickly moved aside to make way.
"Shura, my hands are full of noodles, come and sit on that little stool over there."
Yao Shula then remembered that the somewhat unfamiliar middle-aged woman was her aunt, Grandma Yao's eldest daughter.
She married into Pengcheng, a neighboring city, when she was young, and settled down there.
I rarely get to come back more than once a year.
"Hello, Auntie!" Yao Shula immediately led her younger siblings to greet Aunt Yao.
"This must be Shura! She's grown into a beautiful young woman."
I saw you when I last came back and you were only this tall. Now you're a grown-up.
These must be Shuxin and Shuli; they've both grown up.
"This little boy is..." Aunt Yao looked at Grandma Yao.
"Shura's babysitter is so adorable! He's so clever!" Grandma Yao said hurriedly.
Aunt Yao immediately realized what was happening. She quickly patted the flour off her hands, reached over and pulled a bag from her back, taking out a packet of candy.
"Come on, Shura, share this with your younger siblings."
My aunt didn't bring much this time. Once she's packed everything in a few days, she'll invite you all to stay at her house for a proper day!
Yao Shula smiled as she took the bag of candy and handed it to Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian.
The two of them immediately said thank you sweetly to their aunt, and then went to play with the Yao family's children.
Yao Shula also handed the things she was holding to Grandma Yao.
"The milk is all your favorite!"
Grandma Yao was taken aback at first, then she understood what was going on and quickly reached out to take it.
"From now on, you're not allowed to bring anything when you come. It's better for you to live your own lives well than anything else."
Guofang, Shula is not like your brother. If that heartless man had even half the filial piety of these younger ones, I would be laughing in my sleep.
Shura, Shuxin, come sit here.
"Mom, don't mention him! He'll regret it someday. You should focus more on Shura and the others," Aunt Yao said immediately.
"Sigh, I don't want to mention that heartless person either, I can't bear to see him make such a fool of himself!"
As Grandma Yao spoke, she gestured for Yao Shula to bring Yao Shuxin to sit next to her.
Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin wanted to lend a hand, but were stopped by Grandma Yao.
"You two just sit here and talk to me, you don't need to lift a finger. Remember, we'll eat together here tonight."
"We made a lot of dough and filling today."
Aunt Yao continued wrapping steamed buns with a smile.
Yao Shula listened to Grandma Yao, Aunt Yao, and Aunt Yao talking.
It turns out that Aunt Yao and Uncle Yao were transferred back from Pengcheng and are now working at the Grain Bureau, where they are mid-level managers!
"The bureau has prepared an apartment, a two-bedroom one, enough for the two of us."
The eldest son is still in Pengcheng. He has a good job there, and it would be a pity to transfer him to Yunxian. So his father let him stay in Pengcheng.
Yamin came back with her; she had already secured a job at No. 1 Middle School.
I'll be teaching seventh grade, but I won't start work until after summer vacation.
Yamin is Yao Dagu's daughter, and her surname is Miao.
“My cousin is amazing, she can become a teacher at No. 1 High School,” Yao Shula said immediately.
Hearing Yao Shula praise her youngest daughter, Aunt Yao was delighted.
"You're amazing too! You take such good care of your younger siblings, you're the one who's amazing!" Aunt Yao said with a smile as she looked at Yao Shula.
After saying these two sentences, Aunt Yao looked at Yao Shuxin again.
"Shuxin this year?"
"I'm in my final year of junior high, and the high school entrance exam is coming up soon. I want to get into the top high school!" Yao Shula said immediately.
Aunt Yao nodded.
"Yes! Get into the top high school, then go to university, and you'll drive that bastard of a father crazy."
When your aunt goes home tonight, she'll ask your cousin to ask her classmates to get you some practice papers from junior high schools outside the university.
Doing more practice will benefit your exam!
Yao Shuxin nodded happily.
They currently have fewer practice tests and exercises available...
