Chapter 379: Heaven is the boss, Earth is second, and I am the third
Without waiting for Goudan to answer, she took out a few more pairs of sneakers.
“Here are the sneakers, you all have them.
Wear sneakers before playing, don't play in cloth shoes, it's easy to hurt your feet."
There is nothing to do in the countryside. The last time Lin Tang was shopping in a department store, he saw a football and sneakers and bought them.
Although it is not cheap, she has money and can do whatever she wants.
Goudan is in the playful stage of being the oldest, second only to the child, and the third. He was very happy when his aunt bought him a football and sneakers.
"Thank you, aunt! You are so nice to me." He said sweetly.
Lin Tang turned his head to look at him.
"These things are given to you on a condition, and the condition is that you study hard.
If you don’t rank in the top three in the exam, I will confiscate your football.”
This is a joke.
She knew Goudan knew his limits.
Ever since Goudan started to understand things, his sister-in-law has been consciously cultivating his sense of time.
I haven't finished practicing calligraphy or memorizing poems yet. Even when the kids in the village call me "Goudan", no one goes out.
I have better self-control than some adults.
After talking to Goudan, Lin Tang looked at Choudan and the other two.
"You will have them too, but you have to wait until you go to school. I will prepare school bags and stationery for you then."
Children are very sensitive.
If one has it, the rest must have it too. They cannot be treated differently, otherwise they will be sad.
When the stinky kids heard what their aunt said, the disappointment of not receiving any gifts completely disappeared.
It’s not that my aunt forgot about them, but she is saving them, hehe.
"Yeah, thank you, little aunt." The three little ones said softly.
Goudan looked at the good things Lin Tang brought back for him and felt grateful.
Patting his chest, he said seriously, "Don't worry, little aunt, I will study hard."
Lin Tang patted his nephew's head with a look of satisfaction, "Very good."
After saying that, he took out a blue schoolbag, several notebooks, a pencil case and several pencils and erasers.
"This is the school bag and stationery I bought for you. Do you like it?"
Goudan naturally liked the schoolbags and stationery supplies that were unique to the team.
His eyes lit up.
"Aunt, this schoolbag is very expensive, right?"
Lin Tang was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "It's not cheap, why are you asking this?"
Goudan scratched his head and said, "Nothing, I just asked."
In fact, Ning Xinrou asked him to write a weekly diary. After receiving the gift from his aunt, he decided to write about his aunt.
The name is "The Best Aunt in the World".
Without waiting for Lin Tang to ask again, Goudan changed into his sneakers and held the football.
"Aunt, I'm going out to play!"
Before he could leave, he was stopped by Li Xiuli who came out of the house.
"What are you doing? Let's eat first."
Goudan felt regretful and said, "Okay!"
Li Xiuli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's the same when we go out to play after dinner. The ball is right there and no one is taking it. Why are we in such a hurry?"
If she had seen Lin Tang buying this impractical football a few months earlier, she would have been heartbroken.
But now, everyone in the family is earning a salary, so Li Xiuli doesn’t feel so distressed anymore.
She would always have the chance to make up for the money Tangtang spent.
Goudan was persuaded by his grandmother and calmed down his anxious heart.
Take my younger brothers and sisters to wash their hands and eat.
At the dinner table.
The family mentioned Goudan going to school.
Thinking that Goudan's name had not been changed yet, Lin Tang said, "Mom, shouldn't we change Goudan and the others' names so they can get used to it first?
Otherwise, when they go to school and their teachers and classmates call their names, they won’t be able to react.”
Lin Lu, Li Xiuli and others were stunned.
...That makes a lot of sense.
"Tangtang is right. It's time to call her by her real name." Lin Lu said.
Goudan licked his greasy lips and raised his head.
"I know. My name is Lin Zhicheng, Choudan is Lin Zhixuan, Hutou is Lin Zhiming, and Niuniu is Lin Fei. Am I right?"
Li Xiuli was surprised at her eldest grandson's good memory and laughed with joy.
"Oh, Goudan still remembers your name. Just like your aunt, you will always get the first place in the exam in the future."
Goudan loved to hear this and raised his chin proudly.
"My aunt is my role model. I will definitely get first place."
Lin Lu patted his eldest grandson's head and said with a smile, "The four little ones are grown up now. If we want to change, then let's change them all."
Li Xiuli agreed, "Alright, then just call me by my full name from now on."
After saying that, he looked at Goudan and said, "Goudan, tell your friends who are good friends with you too."
I'm talking about the little kids in the village.
Lin Tang couldn't help laughing, "Mom, you haven't changed yet."
I've been shouting this for several years, but it seems my family won't change in a short time.
Li Xiuli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, I'm used to it."
Calling him Goudan is more intimate, but calling him by his full name always feels weird.
But we have to change it.
The children are all grown up.
Lin Lu: "I'm sure you won't be used to it at first, but you'll get used to it slowly."
Everyone nodded.
After dinner.
Goudan washed his hands and face carefully, then picked up the football beside him.
“…I’m going out to play.”
Li Xiuli turned her head to look at him while cleaning up the dishes.
"...Keep an eye on those stinky eggs, stay away from the mountains and rivers."
"I know." Goudan responded cheerfully. Just as he was about to leave, he turned his head and said, "Grandma, you should have said you'd keep an eye on Zhixuan and the others."
After saying that, he took his younger brother and sister out.
Li Xiuli looked at the backs of the little guys and scolded them with a smile, "Stinky brats..."
Goudan left home and went to the secret base of his group of kids.
This place is very close to the threshing ground.
There is a hidden cave and a very thick tree outside the cave.
The branches are dense, and half-red and half-green fruits hang on them.
A group of children were sitting on the tree trunk, staring at the fruit and drooling.
I see Goudan coming.
A little boy slid down like a monkey.
"Goudan, you're here."
Goudan nodded.
The boy didn't feel ignored, but instead thought he was extremely cool.
He is worthy of being the boss he admires, steady and stylish.
When he looked down and saw the football in Goudan's hand, he couldn't help but reach out and poke it.
"...What's that in your arms?"
Goudan: "A football, a gift my aunt gave me for going to school."
As he spoke, he stretched out his feet, revealing his new sneakers.
"See these shoes? They were also given to me by my aunt."
Mai Shou from the Qi family next door bit his fingers in envy, "...your aunt is so nice."
The boy who slid down from the tree first looked at them eagerly and suddenly said, "Goudan, these shoes are very comfortable, right?"
Goudan glanced at him and took off his shoes.
"You'll know if you try it."
The boy's eyes widened in shock. "Goudan, you, you're willing to let me try?"
These shoes look expensive. I can’t afford them even if I sell my old shoes.
Goudan had a look of surprise on his face.
"What's there to be reluctant about? Is it going to break if I let you try it? Stop nagging me. Put it on quickly. If you don't want to try it, forget it..."
Before he could finish his words, the boy said hurriedly: "I'll wear it, I'll wear it!"
After saying this, he washed his scratched feet in the small ditch nearby.
Sitting on the stone, putting on Goudan’s new sneakers.
