Chapter 338 Movie Tickets
"Brother Shuli, do you know? Big Sister wants to work at the crematorium!" Little Tiantian, who had already signed her homework, plopped down next to Yao Shuli and said.
Yao Shuli, who was doing her homework, and Qiangqiang, who was doing arithmetic problems, both looked up in surprise.
Yao Shuli: "Work at the crematorium? Sister? Are you serious? Sister wants to work at the crematorium?"
Qiangqiang was also a little surprised: "Auntie is going to work at the crematorium?"
Xiao Tiantian placed the arithmetic book in front of Qiangqiang and said, "You continue doing arithmetic problems. You are not allowed to speak until you finish these thirty problems."
Qiangqiang said "Oh," and quickly picked up his pencil to start doing arithmetic problems seriously.
Xiao Tiantian then whispered to Yao Shuli.
"Really, I heard it clearly when I was getting my work signed by my older sister. That's what she said: she wanted to work at the crematorium."
They even said they could burn whoever they wanted!
Yao Shuli stopped doing math problems for the time being and frowned slightly.
"What my elder sister said... must have some truth to it! Maybe she's thinking about burning Yao Guohua's body one day!"
Little Tian nodded vigorously.
"Brother Shuli, I think what you said makes sense. My older sister is so smart, there must be some reason why she said that."
First, my older sister just wanted to burn the one hanging on the wall to vent our anger.
Secondly... it's good to have someone in the family working at the crematorium. If someone in the family needs to be cremated, they won't have to wait in line. It's just a matter of the older sister making a call, which is quite useful.
Yao Shuli...
Xiaotian's thinking doesn't seem wrong!
"Yes, what my older sister is thinking must make sense, but... now my older sister is watching the shop every day, and she can't go out to work even if she wants to."
"Alas, in the end, it's still us who dragged our eldest sister down! Otherwise, our eldest sister..." Yao Shuli sighed again.
Therefore, I must study hard and get high enough scores to get into a finance school in Shanghai, so as not to make my older sister sad.
Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Yes, it's them who dragged Big Sister down."
If it weren't for them, my older sister wouldn't have been able to work at the crematorium, or even at a better place.
They are just a burden.
“It’s okay. After you graduate from junior high school, we’ll go to Shanghai together and bring your older sister with us.”
"I'll ask my older brother to find my older sister a job at a crematorium in Shanghai," Xiao Tiantian assured him, patting her chest.
"Really? Your older brother can find a job over there!" Yao Shuli was a little skeptical.
"Of course you can. It's not like you're going to the Public Security Bureau or the Finance Bureau. It's just a crematorium. It's not a big deal. It's just a phone call away."
Shuli, the key issue now is that you need to study hard. Only if you study well can you go to school in Shanghai!
You're going to study in Shanghai. Even though our family is here, your older sister will definitely worry about you. What if she gets a job in Shanghai...?
Can my older sister go to Shanghai too?
"We have to think about our eldest sister!" Xiao Tiantian said to Yao Shuli in a low voice.
Having witnessed the prosperity of Shanghai, Yao Shuli now felt that Xiao Tiantian was absolutely right.
He went to Shanghai, so he'll definitely have fewer opportunities to return to Yun County in the future. His second sister is also in Shanghai, and he's worried about his eldest sister being alone there.
My eldest sister must come with me to Shanghai.
Back then, I earned a lot of money for my older sister to spend...
"Yes, I'll try my best! I won't let my older sister worry. Tiantian, what did you do when you ran out yesterday?" Yao Shuli thought of how little Tiantian had secretly run out yesterday.
I was studying at the time and didn't have time to ask.
Xiao Tiantian chuckled and whispered something in Yao Shuli's ear.
"I bought three movie tickets yesterday!"
"Movie tickets? What movie? You want to see a movie?" Yao Shuli asked casually.
Xiao Tian shook her head.
"It's not that I want to watch a movie, this is a ticket I bought for my older sister..." Xiao Tiantian said while secretly glancing at Qiangqiang.
Seeing that Qiangqiang was doing arithmetic problems by counting on his fingers, he explained to Yao Shuli in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"My older brother is coming in a couple of days, right? He must be tired after driving all day! He needs to watch a movie to relax!"
"Sister, shouldn't you do your duty as a host and go see it with brother?" Xiao Tiantian explained to Yao Shuli.
Yao Shuli wasn't stupid; she immediately understood what Xiao Tiantian was thinking.
"Are you still thinking about pairing your older brother with my older sister?!"
"It should be to bring my older brother and my older sister together, but actually, it all depends on what my older sister thinks."
But so far, I haven't seen anyone who meets my older sister's requirements better than my older brother.
Shuli, how about we make do for now? Let my older sister and brother make do for a while. If my older sister finds someone better later, she can dump my brother and find someone better.
Brother Shuli, you know I'm doing this for my older sister's own good, right?
"This is called 'riding a donkey while looking for a horse.' With more experience, you'll be able to find the most suitable one, right?" Tian Tian looked at Yao Shuli expectantly.
Yao Shuli thought about it and realized it made sense!
"That makes a lot of sense, but..."
Why did you buy three tickets? Are you going too? Yao Shuli noticed something.
"Of course! I have to go. If I only buy two tickets and let my older sister and brother go to the movies, I don't know what my brother will think, but my older sister definitely won't go."
My older sister would say she was worried about us and wanted to stay home and watch over us.
So, I'll just say I want to watch a movie, and then my older sister will take me there, and my older brother can come along too.
The most important thing is that my older brother is a bit slow-witted. What if he doesn't know to buy sunflower seeds and soda for my older sister when we go to the movies?
"I can just give you a reminder if I'm there!" Little Tiantian had considered everything very thoroughly.
"Then why didn't you buy another ticket and bring me along too!"
"The three of you went out to see a movie that day, and I was left alone at home. Wasn't that a bit much?" Yao Shuli said, somewhat dissatisfied.
"What movie are you watching! Your task right now is to study hard. We can talk about other things after your high school entrance exam."
How many math problems do you have to do in the time it takes to watch a movie?
"Your most important thing right now is to study hard. Forget about watching movies. Let your cousin Yamin give you a couple more math problems." Xiao Tiantian immediately refused.
Yao Shuli...
His reasoning was so sound that he couldn't refute it.
...
Three days later, Lei Jingwu drove himself to Yun County.
Knowing in advance that Lei Jingwu was coming, Yao Shula prepared a lot of dishes, and the three of them waited for Lei Jingwu to finish eating.
