On the way back, Wang Baojia kept persuading Wang Zhaozhao to wear her big red flower.
Wang Zhaozhao refused to wear it.
What I got was very eye-catching. Fortunately, it was not winter, so everyone didn’t have to work and wouldn’t be basking in the sun at the village entrance.
There was an old lady at home who came to talk to Xie Ailian.
"Oh, the students are back." The old lady smiled brightly upon seeing Wang Zhaozhao and the others. "Today is the day to get your admission notices. How were your grades? Did Zhao Zhao get first place again?"
"That's right! My sister Zhao can only get the first place in the exam." Wang Baojia puffed out his chest proudly.
I thank you.
Wang Zhaozhao pulled the corners of her mouth and followed Wang Xingwen and the others, smiling and calling out, "Little Grandma."
The old lady couldn't stop smiling. With Wang Baojia around, Wang Zhaozhao and the others felt at ease. Some went back to their rooms, some went to the toilet, some drank water, and some washed their faces.
Wang Jingjing and Wang Qingqing, who came back an hour earlier than them, felt a little more comfortable playing nearby.
Wang Zhaozhao washed his face, took the enamel cup, drank water and went to Qiao Li to see his little cousin.
"Dudu, you're awake." After greeting Qiao Li, Wang Zhaozhao moved closer to his little cousin.
The little guy is growing towards being white and plump, becoming more and more handsome and cute.
While performing a monologue to amuse the little guy, he also talked to Qiao Li.
"Aunt Four, is Uncle Four thinking about choosing a name for Dudu?" Wang Zhaozhao suddenly asked Qiao Li.
"Yes, he said a few days ago that he had borrowed a dictionary and was looking it up." Qiao Li replied with a calm smile.
"Does my fourth uncle understand the dictionary?" Wang Zhaozhao was worried about her fourth uncle.
Not to mention that his fourth uncle never went to school, even if he did, he might not have learned pinyin.
Although pinyin has existed for a long time, it is not yet so popular. Anyway, they don’t start with 'a, o, e, i, u, ü' in class, but they also teach pinyin.
Going back ten years or so, I don’t know whether pinyin was taught in big cities or not, and it was definitely not taught in the countryside.
Moreover, Wang Zhaozhao discovered that few people in their school had dictionaries. The school would not distribute them, and the school could not ask students to buy them themselves, as that would cost money!
"I taught him... Your fourth uncle is not stupid, but if he really goes to school, he will definitely not get good grades." Qiao Li said seriously and shook her head.
Wang Zhaozhao covered her mouth and laughed.
At this time, Xie Ailian called her from outside. She pouted at Qiao Li and ran out.
Qiao Li was amused and said to her infant son, "Your sister Zhao is a shy and a little awkward girl."
Little Dudu: “……!”
I don't understand, but I can perform a thumb sucking.
…
Wang Zhaozhao does get a little awkward easily, and she interprets this awkwardness as embarrassment.
She never expected that Xie Ailian bit her to ask her to take out the big red flower... and show it.
Then, it’s just constant display.
It was displayed at noon, displayed again in the evening, displayed again and again.
Moreover, she discovered that Comrade Xie Ailian's emphasis on and love for the big red flower was actually tending to surpass the bonus.
"What do you know? You can show off the big red flower for everyone to see, but as for the money, it's more important to keep it safe."
“…”
Haha, Wang Zhaozhao nodded in agreement. There’s nothing wrong with it. As long as you don’t call me a tool, you can show it however you want.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the little guy, nicknamed Dudu and real name Wang Chaohui, is about to turn one month old.
On a Saturday, Wang Sibing took two days off and came back to prepare for the full moon banquet.
Qiao Li was so excited that she almost cried, woooo, it’s finally going to be a month old.
It's so hot, although she will force herself to take a shower when she can't help it, but really... don't even smell it intentionally, as long as she breathes a little heavier, she can smell that she is stinky.
The reason why Wang Sibing took two days off was to use the first day to deliver a letter.
Fortunately, he had a bicycle. Two wheels were much faster than two feet, and it was also easier for him.
Then the next day is all about preparation.
That night, Wang Fangbing and Wang Sanbing, who had been repairing the canal for the first half of the year, came back. They also took a day off.
If their brothers are holding a banquet, they will definitely come back to help.
In the morning, everyone got up early and had breakfast together with several families.
While they were eating, Wang Daju and Wang Erju's families arrived. Xie Ailian knew that they would come very early, so she had already prepared breakfast, but she didn't wait for them. She couldn't contact them, so she didn't know when they would arrive.
After breakfast, Wang Sibing and his two brothers-in-law went to the town to buy vegetables. Because it was summer, meat and fish had to be bought right away.
Xie Ailian took her daughter and daughter-in-law to wash and cut the vegetables at home.
Wang Dahai arranged for his son to borrow a table, stools, and dishes.
The children were divided into two groups. The boys' group including Wang Xingwen played with the boys' guests, while the girls' group including Wang Zhaozhao played with the girls' guests.
At the moment, there were no female guests, so Wang Zhaozhao sat under the eaves holding her enamel cup... in a daze.
Wang Jingjing's eyes rolled around and she stole glances at Wang Zhaozhao several times.
From time to time, she would nudge Wang Qingqing who was sitting next to her, but Wang Qingqing ignored her, not even looking at her or raising her eyelids.
Wang Jingjing: “……!”
Woo woo woo, although she likes Sister Zhao very much, she really wants to run to the same team with her elder brother and second brother.
Although Wang Zhaozhao was in a daze, he did not fail to notice her restless look.
After thinking for a moment, she went into the room and took out two test papers, one for each of them. "Finish them this morning."
Huh?
Wang Jingjing was stunned, her mouth wide open.
"Oh." Wang Qingqing had already taken the test paper, then ran back to the house to get a pen, moved the square stool she was originally sitting on, and sat down on the doorstep. The stool was lowered to become a "table".
Wang Jingjing stood up with a bitter heart, and went back to get a pen dejectedly.
Wang Zhaozhao stopped being in a daze and picked up a book to read. It was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he had borrowed from the city library last time.
"Sister, look over there." In the kitchen, Wang Erju came out to pour water. After returning, she called Wang Daju and pointed outside.
Wang Daju took a look, laughed, and sighed.
Wang Erju asked her, "What are you doing? Why are you sighing?"
"I'm thinking about whether I should send Qihua and the others to school in the second half of the year, so that they can at least finish the third grade of elementary school." Wang Daju sighed again.
She could squeeze in the tuition fee, but her paralyzed mother-in-law might make things very uneasy.
Wang Erju also sighed. To be honest, her life was poorer, but her elder sister had a harder life than her.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, Wang Daju was slapped on the back by Xie Ailian and almost fell out.
Xie Ailian was too lazy to even talk about Wang Daju.
It's no use talking too much and no one listens.
An old woman lying in bed, three meals a day were prepared and brought to her bedside, her excrement was taken care of, her body was wiped, her hair was washed, and her clothes were changed. She was not allowed to stink, let alone let maggots grow in her bed. She also lost her temper all her life, cursing and smashing things at the slightest provocation...
Spoiled her!
