"The child is right! Big sister! If you really want to give them two New Year's money, just give them one cent. It's so much money, so be careful that they don't lose it." Lin Meiyu also said quickly.
Someone beside Tian Lisong echoed a few words, "Yes, big sister! Meiyu is right, you just need to give her a little bit of your gratitude, so you don't have to stay out here in the cold!"
Seeing that Lin Meiyu and her family all said this, Lin Meishuang sighed and had to take the money back. She took out two one-cent bills and handed them to Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo.
Tian Tian then reached out to take the money. Tian Zhuo saw it and couldn't wait to take the money.
Lin Meishuang saw the two siblings take the money and reached out to push Wu Degang who was standing beside them.
Wu Degang stood forward awkwardly, looked at Tian Zhuo and said loudly: "I'm sorry! Brother Tian Zhuo! I shouldn't have bullied you yesterday and shouldn't have stopped you from playing. I was wrong!"
Tian Zhuo was startled by his loud voice, and didn't know how to accept this sudden apology. Before he could react, Wu Degang turned to look at Tian Tian.
"Sister Tian Tian! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have snatched my sister's egg cake yesterday. I was wrong!"
Although Tian Tian didn't like Wu Degang before, Wu Degang was still young and realized his mistakes. It was a good thing to correct them, so she didn't put on a stern face. Instead, she said with a smile: "You shouldn't apologize to me for this matter. You should apologize to your sister."
"I apologized to my sister this morning!" Wu Degang thought that Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo didn't forgive him. Tears welled up in his eyes and he said pitifully, "Please forgive me. I really know I was wrong. I will treat my sister well in the future and I won't bully you anymore!"
Tian Tian was a little afraid that Wu Degang would cry, so she quickly said, "Just apologize to your sister! You came to apologize to us again today, and we have forgiven you, right, Xiao Zhuo?"
Tian Zhuo finally realized that Wu Degang came to apologize to him. He had actually forgotten what happened yesterday, but after hearing what his sister said, he nodded and stepped forward to hold Wu Degang's hand, "Brother, I forgive you, don't cry!"
Wu Degang wiped his tears. He was relieved that both his brother and sister had forgiven him. He held Tian Zhuo's hand and smiled, "Brother, you are so nice. I will definitely take you out to play next time you come!"
Tian Zhuo covered himself tightly, leaving only a pair of big eyes exposed. He looked at Wu Degang and nodded.
"You taught these two children really well!" Lin Meishuang looked at Lin Meiyu with admiration after seeing them reconcile.
“No matter how well your Degang raised his child, not many children have the courage to admit their mistakes,” Lin Meiyu also said.
The two of them exchanged compliments on each other's children for a while, and then Lin Meishuang said, "Hurry up and leave. I won't keep you any longer. Be careful on your way back!"
"Then we'll go first! Sister, if you have any trouble, please ask someone to send me a message, and I will definitely help if I can. There are only three of us sisters, and if we don't help each other a little, we won't be able to live in the future."
Lin Meishuang nodded to show that she understood. "Don't worry, if there ever comes a day when I can't go on, I will definitely tell you. You should leave quickly. It's too cold standing here."
"Then we'll leave first. Big sister, you should go back early too." Tian Lisong said, "Tiantian, Tian Zhuo, say goodbye to your aunt."
"Goodbye, auntie! Goodbye, Xiaogang!" said Tian Tian.
Tian Zhuo had only said goodbye to Lin Meishuang, but after hearing what Tian Tian said, he added, "Bye, Brother Xiaogang!"
After Wu Degang said goodbye to them, they turned around and crossed the bridge.
Tian Lisong had been in the kitchen with Lin Meiyu yesterday. When Tian Tian talked to Lin Meiyu at night, he was snoring loudly, so he had no idea what was going on.
After crossing the bridge, Tian Lisong asked Tian Tian. When he heard Tian Tian say that Wu Degang told others not to take Tian Zhuo to play, he became very angry. But Wu Degang had already apologized, so he couldn't say anything else. He couldn't argue with a child either. He felt very uncomfortable.
I had to tell Tian Zhuo that if anyone bullied him again, he shouldn’t endure it and shouldn’t let himself suffer any loss.
Seeing Tian Zhuo nodded and agreed, his anger finally subsided a little.
By the time the family returned home, it was already noon. Tian Tian was frozen after walking all the way. After arriving home, she wanted to climb onto the kang directly, but Old Lady Tian sent her down to warm herself by the fire. Fortunately, there was a lot of charcoal in the brazier, so it was very warm to sit next to it. There was also a circle of sweet potato slices on top, so she sat obediently next to the brazier.
As soon as Tian Zhuo entered the house, he went to the small house to play hand in hand with Tian Baobao.
Chen Guihua's family lives close to their brigade, and she did not stay overnight at her parents' home. Yesterday, she sent the New Year gifts back to her parents' home, had a meal there, and returned home the same night.
Seeing that Lin Meiyu brought back a fish, she jumped off the kang with joy, "Oh! Sister-in-law, your mother is so good to you that she brought you a fish. My mother's family only knows how to eat for free. The children in her family almost coaxed Tian Baobao's New Year's money away. Bah! Bullying my son! Shameless!"
After she finished complaining about her annoying family members, she saw that Lin Meiyu was freezing cold, so she immediately took the food from Lin Meiyu's hands and said, "Sister-in-law! You must be very tired after walking back, and it's so cold outside. You and brother should go into the house and take a rest. You don't need to help with the meal today, I'll cook it, and you can just wait and eat it!"
Lin Meiyu was indeed tired after a day of work yesterday and had walked all morning today. She was also very cold, so she didn't bother to be polite with Chen Guihua. After handing the fish to Chen Guihua, she went into the house to rest.
Tian Lisong also went back to the room to lie down for a while, so he went in as well.
Chen Guihua happily took the fish and asked Old Lady Tian what she was going to do with it. Old Lady Tian was sitting on the kang with her shoes on. She looked up at the fish in Chen Guihua's hand and said, "Just stew it in fish soup. A big fish can be eaten in just two bites. What else can you do with it? At least you can drink a few more sips of the soup if you stew it in fish soup."
"Then I'll change a piece of tofu, cut a little more tofu and put it in there, so it can have a bit of fish flavor, and then fry some bean flour cakes and eat it with the soup." Chen Guihua said excitedly.
Tian Tian was originally drowsy sitting in front of the brazier, but when she heard that fish soup was going to be stewed, she immediately became energetic.
