Chen Guihua's eyes lit up. "I don't know where the two little ones are going. You don't know, they are not at home all day long. Before the exam, they could still study at home, but now that the exam is over, they are completely distracted. They go out to play after breakfast in the morning, and they are nowhere to be seen before dinner time! I don't know what to say to them."
After Chen Guihua mercilessly complained about her son and nephew, she asked with sparkling eyes and full of expectation: "Tiantian, what gift did you buy for this brat?"
"I bought a kettle for Tian Mu. When he goes to school, he can fill it with hot water to drink!" said Tian Tian.
"Oh my God! This is a great thing. If your brother knew about it, he would be so happy! Let me thank Tiantian on his behalf!" Chen Guihua said very flatteringly.
"What are you thanking me for? Am I not his sister?" Tian Tian felt a little embarrassed.
"You have to thank me too. These are two different things!" said Chen Guihua.
Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo still knew to come back for dinner. Before the meal was put into the pot, they brought back two large bundles of pig feed. After putting the pig feed in the yard, they washed their hands and went into the house to help.
Tian Tian called them both into her room.
"You two did well in this exam, so I bought gifts for you two! You are not allowed to say you don't like them!" Tian Tian said in a domineering manner.
"Sister! What did we buy? Tell us quickly!" Tian Mu asked excitedly.
"Tick, tick, tick!" Tian Tian took out a kettle and a pen and placed them in front of them, as well as two small five-pointed star medals.
"Military water bottle?!" Tian Mu's eyes suddenly widened.
He had wanted a military water bottle for a long time and had been pestering Tian Yuan to give it to him.
Tian Yuan also promised Tian Mu that he would give the old kettle to Tian Mu after the higher-ups gave him kettles. However, Tian Yuan only had one kettle at that time, so there was no further news.
Not long after, Tian Yuan went to military school, and Tian Mu waited for four years.
"This is not a military kettle, it's just an ordinary kettle sold by the supply and marketing cooperative!" Tian Tian explained.
"They look the same. If I didn't tell you that it was bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, who would have known?" Tian Mu held the kettle tightly in his arms.
Because nowadays everyone admires the army, they like to wear clothes made of camouflage fabrics, and their styles are all similar to those of the army.
So there are many things sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives that are similar to those used by the army, such as camouflage fabrics, Liberation shoes, and military water bottles.
If you don't tell us that the kettle was bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, a normal person really can't tell the difference between this kettle and a military kettle.
"I didn't expect you to be a little vain!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
But she didn't say anything. It was just a kettle. Tian Mu didn't spend money recklessly and he usually worked hard at home. This little vanity was nothing.
"Then this pen is mine?" Tian Zhuo picked up the pen beside him happily.
“This pen must be very expensive, right?”
"Then you don't have to worry about it. This pen is definitely of better quality than yours and can be used for many years. The longer you use it, the cheaper it will be. If you use it to get into a good university, then this pen will be worth the money. Just study hard and rest assured! I happen to have high school textbooks and exercises at home, you can use them." Tian Tian said with a smile.
"Yes!" Tian Zhuo nodded firmly while holding the pen, "I will study hard and will definitely be admitted to university in the future!"
"Sister! Do you have your notes from junior college? Can you lend them to me? I want to review them before school!" Tian Mu suddenly asked.
"It's no problem to lend it to you! But I only have one semester's worth of notes, and I was studying accounting at the time. Can you use it?" Tian Tian asked. Technical secondary schools are now similar to universities, and are also divided into several departments. Students who are admitted to the same technical secondary school may not learn the same content.
Moreover, Tian Tian and Tian Mu did not apply to the same technical secondary school.
Tian Tian took the exam after graduating from high school. It was called a technical college, but it was actually similar to night school.
What Tian Mu is taking now is a real exam, which will be a technical secondary school that is similar to a university in the future.
"Accounting?" Tian Mu lowered his head in disappointment. "I studied mechanics, so I'm afraid I won't be able to use your stuff."
"Mechanical?" Tian Tian touched her chin. "Your brother Gu Zhao studied mechanical engineering in college. Although it may be different from what he studied in technical secondary school, since they are both mechanical, there must be some overlap. I will write a letter and ask your brother Gu Zhao to lend his notes and books to you!"
Tian Mu's eyes lit up, "Will this be too much trouble for Brother Gu Zhao?"
This is what wanting means.
"No! We are going to write to each other anyway, so I'll send your textbooks back by the way!" Tian Tian patted Tian Mu's shoulder and said.
"Thank you, sister and brother Gu Zhao!" Tian Mu said.
"Oh, right!" Tian Tian suddenly remembered something. "I paid for the water bottles and pens for you two, but your brother Gu Zhao paid for the tickets. Don't forget to thank him!"
Tian Zhuo and Tian Mu, who received the gifts, smiled contentedly at Tian Tian and said, "Sister, next time you write to Brother Gu Zhao, don't forget to express our gratitude."
"Okay!" Tian Tian patted Tian Zhuo's head, "You two clever kids, go out and help our grandma cook!"
Now Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo have also trained themselves and can cook a few dishes.
Especially Tian Mu. Ever since he moved out with Chen Guihua and the others, Chen Guihua always asked him to cook for the family. So his cooking skills are very good now, and the meals he cooks are better than those made by Chen Guihua.
Although Tian Zhuo has Old Lady Tian and Lin Meiyu cooking at home and it is not his turn to cook, he has no problem cooking some simple meals.
Although Chen Guihua, Lin Meiyu, and Old Lady Tian are cooking together and it is not their turn to cook, it is still no problem for them to help out by cutting vegetables and lighting the fire.
The two of them pinned the small five-pointed star badge on their clothes as if it were a treasure, then ran back into the house with the things, put them away, and went to the kitchen to help Grandma Tian and the others.
It was getting dark when they had dinner in the evening, and it was already dark when they finished eating.
The family took advantage of the last bit of light and worked hard to clean up the kitchen. Only then did Chen Guihua and her family go home.
After taking a nap this afternoon, Tiantian was not too sleepy at night, so she went into the snail shell, turned on the flashlight hanging above it as a light, and wrote a letter to Gu Zhao under the light.
