Chapter 43 Little Tiantian is only worth two hundred yuan
Yao Shula never expected that her words would still be useful at this time.
Most importantly, Aunt Yao even had someone specially come to invite them...
This feeling is similar to when I first registered my household, and two pregnant women were vying for me, each raising their price to compete.
That feeling... was incredibly satisfying!
"Just talk, no action?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.
Zhong Xiaochun nodded immediately.
"Yeah, it's all talk, no action. If it's about physical action, there are other people around!"
"Mainly...Grandma said that you've spoken up, and you've managed to leave people speechless without insulting their ancestors!" Zhong Xiaochun said earnestly.
Yao Shula nodded.
That's right, Grandma Yao is really good; her summary is spot on.
She doesn't like to insult people's ancestors when she's being sarcastic; at most, she might insult their parents.
Even if there are occasional personal attacks, the other party may not understand them for a while.
"Also, three catties of mutton were sent from the countryside. Grandma said she'll make mutton dumplings especially for you," Zhong Xiaochun added.
Upon hearing this, Yao Shula immediately perked up.
Lamb!
In this era where even eating pork is a luxury, being able to eat mutton is truly a treat.
"Okay! I'll definitely be there by tomorrow evening."
"I'll bring Shuxin and Shuli along." Yao Shula readily agreed immediately.
Zhong Xiaochun was still a little uneasy. What if Zhang Tiesheng arrived early...?
"Shura, I'll be there this afternoon. I'll prepare some melon seeds, peanut brittle, and orange powder for you. I'll make you two cups each," Zhong Xiaochun said immediately.
Yao Shula thought for a moment. Tomorrow is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and it seems like there's nothing much going on.
It's fine to go there sooner; at least we can get familiar with the situation first.
"Okay! Then I'll take Shuxin and Shuli there after lunch tomorrow."
...
After sending Zhong Xiaochun away, Yao Shuxin and Yao Shuli both looked at Yao Shula with shining eyes.
"Sis, are you going to help our eldest cousin argue tomorrow?" Yao Shuxin looked at Yao Shula with almost starry eyes.
Her older sister is amazing; she can silence people with just a few words!
She must study hard.
I'll try to go to war in place of my sister in the future, so that she won't have to personally get involved in minor arguments.
"Big sister, I'll stand behind you and protect you tomorrow, so don't worry about arguing!" Yao Shuli also moved a small stool over and sat next to Yao Shula.
The eldest sister is in charge of talking, so it's my turn to do the actual work from now on.
Although I am still young, short and young.
But they will grow up eventually, and in the future, whether it's the eldest sister or the second eldest sister, I will have to protect them myself.
Yao Shula chuckled twice, then reached out and patted her younger siblings' heads.
"Go wash your feet and faces, get ready to rest, and sleep in until you naturally wake up tomorrow morning."
After lunch, we went to see what was going on.
Yao Shuxin and Yao Shuli both said "oh" and then happily went to get their respective foot basins to pour water and wash their feet.
Although it's Chinese New Year, no one has slept well these past two days.
We start making dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and on the second day we get up early to eat noodles, then walk to my uncle's house.
On such a cold day, how wonderful it would be to sleep in a warm bed until I naturally wake up...
“Big sister, if Xiao Tiantian were here, he would definitely be happy to go and watch the excitement too,” Yao Shuli suddenly said.
When Yao Shula thinks of Xiao Tiantian, she really misses the boy!
The little guy isn't very big, but he has a sweet tongue, and sometimes his words are both sharp and amusing...
...
Little Tiantian, who was being thought of by the Yao siblings, was staring wide-eyed at Tian Lei across from her.
He was holding a very old teddy bear in his arms, his cheeks puffed out as he stared warily at Tian Lei.
Tian Lei touched her belly, which wasn't showing much yet, and frowned as she looked at Xiao Tiantian.
"Tian Tian, these things are meant to be given away as gifts, why are you hiding them all?" Tian Lei looked at the large box of rare gifts in Tian Tian's room.
Royal jelly, malted milk powder, imported chocolate, and all kinds of biscuits and candies...
“I also kept it to give away; my grandfather had it brought to me from Shanghai.”
"Can't I keep it and give it away?" Xiao Tiantian shouted, raising her head.
Tian Lei had a bit of a headache.
Secretary Lei is not home; he went to the countryside with the county committee members to offer condolences and will not be back until tomorrow.
She genuinely didn't know how to communicate with the child.
"Who are you going to give this to? Can you finish all this food?"
This was brought to our home by my grandfather, and I have the right to dispose of it.
"Are you planning to give it away for free again?" Tian Lei asked directly.
"My older sister, second sister, and older brother who took me home!" Little Tiantian continued, raising her little head.
"Didn't we already thank them? Didn't your dad have your older brother send a bunch of gifts and two hundred yuan?" Tian Lei said with a bit of helplessness.
Xiao Tian chuckled and immediately retorted.
"You ate lunch yesterday... no, you ate lunch too, why did you eat dinner too?"
Tian Lei...
Before Tian Lei could decide what to say, the phone in Secretary Lei's study rang.
Xiao Tiantian quickly grabbed her teddy bear and ran to the study before Tian Lei could answer the phone.
A phone call at this time...
It either belongs to Secretary Lei or Grandpa Lei from Shanghai.
If it were Secretary Lei, he would ask Tian Lei how she was doing and whether Xiao Tiantian was eating properly.
If it were Grandpa Lei, he would simply ask Xiaotian how she's been lately and whether she's been eating well.
Little Tian was very lucky; the call she received was from Grandpa Lei.
"Tian Tian, have you eaten yet? Have you missed Grandpa these past few days?"
Upon hearing that it was Grandpa Lei on the phone, Xiao Tiantian immediately smiled at Tian Lei and then deliberately pretended to sob twice.
"grandfather……"
"Tian Tian, what's wrong?" Grandpa Lei asked anxiously.
"Grandpa, Aunt Tian said I'm only worth two hundred yuan!" Little Tian cried.
Tian Lei...
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lei on the other side immediately became furious.
"What happened? Tiantian, talk to Grandpa about it!"
"Grandpa, didn't you have someone send me lots of food from Shanghai? I just took it to my room."
Grandpa, you always said that one should have a conscience and remember the kindness others have shown to them.
I was taken in by the older girls. They were very kind to me, giving me delicious food and meat.
Should I save the good stuff for someone else?
Aunt Tian insisted on giving away the things you gave me to other people, saying that she had already given the older sister two hundred yuan.
"Does that mean I'm only worth two hundred yuan?" Xiao Tiantian said, sobbing.
Not a single tear can be seen on her face.
Tian Lei was completely speechless. All she wanted to do was take some things to her family.
How did it come to mean that Xiaotian is only worth two hundred yuan...?
"I didn't..." Tian Lei hurriedly tried to grab the phone.
Xiao Tiantian immediately shoved the phone into Tian Lei's hand.
"You can tell my grandfather yourself! Humph!"
Tian Lei answered the phone with trepidation, and sure enough, Grandpa Lei on the other end was already angry.
"Tian Lei, how old are you? Why are you still fighting with children for things..."
Little Tiantian walked away with her little teddy bear in her arms.
Hmph, do you really think he won't tattle?
Tian Lei was so angry after being scolded by Grandpa Lei that she rubbed her stomach.
Just wait! Everything will be fine once this one in my belly is born!
