Lu Shishen did not comment on his eldest sister-in-law. As a man, it was not appropriate for him to comment on her, so he shifted the topic to his eldest brother.
"Although my eldest brother is honest and a little indecisive, he is not a person who can't make sense. He won't let Xingxing get married so early."
Yang Niannian held her chin and tilted her head to look at him, "You seem to know Big Brother quite well. Did you ever guess that Big Brother would have the idea of doing business?"
Lu Shishen shook his head. "Big brother started his business because of your influence. You gave him the confidence. Without your support, Big brother would never have thought of starting a business in his life."
Although Lu Shishen is usually taciturn, he understands everyone's temper. His eldest brother is a person who has no opinion and dares not get angry or speak in front of his parents.
Like his father, he likes to live a down-to-earth life tending to the fields. He is afraid of losing money in business, and if he has money, he wants to save it.
Yang Niannian felt that Lu Shishen was praising her and smiled.
"As long as people know how to change, there is still hope. I am afraid of those who are stubborn and don't know how to change. Fortunately, my eldest brother's personality is like my father-in-law and not my mother-in-law. If he was like my mother-in-law, there would be no peace in the family."
Lu Shishen did not comment. After wiping the water off his feet, he poured out the water in the basin and rinsed the enamel basin with clean water. As soon as the two came out of the bathroom, they saw Li Fengyi going to the kitchen to get hot water.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you must be tired after sitting in the car for a whole day. Go and rest early! I'll boil some hot water and bring it up for Ruoling to wash up. It's not convenient for her to bring the child down, and it's too cold outside."
Lu Shishen, "You should also go to bed early."
After saying that, he took Yang Niannian into the main room and went straight upstairs.
Their room was on the east side of the third floor, and Xingxing's room was on the west side. The two of them pushed the door open and entered the room. In addition to a bed, there was also a crudely made table.
The luggage was placed on the table.
The quilt on the bed is folded like a steamed bun. The green peony flower on the back looks brand new, and the rose-red peony flower bed sheet also looks particularly festive.
Yang Niannian sat on the bed, patted the sheets and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled my elder brother and sister-in-law. I guess when my elder sister-in-law got married, the bed was not prepared so well."
"The family conditions were not good at that time." Lu Shishen spread out the quilt, "Sit in the quilt first, don't let your feet get frozen."
Yang Niannian laughed sweetly, "How can it be so easy to get frostbitten feet?"
Although she said this, she still obediently took off her shoes and coat and got into bed. As soon as she put her head on the pillow, she felt it was too hard and a bit uncomfortable.
She raised her head and opened the pillowcase to take a look, and found that it was stuffed with old clothes. She couldn't help but smile and instantly remembered her childhood.
When she was a child, her mother would always stuff out-of-season clothes into pillowcases. It turns out everyone does this!
Seeing her staring at the clothes stuffed inside the pillow, Lu Shishen asked, "Is the pillow too hard? Are you not used to sleeping on it?"
The pillows at home were stuffed with sponge, so they were soft when sleeping, and he thought Yang Niannian was not used to it.
Yang Niannian lay down again and said with a smile.
"No, I slept quite comfortably. You should get into bed soon! Tomorrow morning we will go up the mountain with Big Brother to have a look."
Lu Shishen turned off the lights and went to bed, holding her in his arms as usual. Yang Niannian was afraid of pressing on his wound, so she didn't dare to sleep on her right side and could only crawl to his left side to sleep.
She went to bed early at night and woke up at around six in the morning. After getting dressed and going downstairs, she found that she was the last one to get up in the family and the meal was already on the table.
Lu Shishen also asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Yang Niannian stretched and said, "I slept well last night and I'm not sleepy anymore. Why are the kids up so early?"
Tiantian said happily.
"Second Aunt, we have our final exam today."
Guan Ailian smiled and said, "Although he is not a good student, he is more active than anyone else in going to school and is the first one to arrive at school every day."
When Lu Guozhi heard his eldest daughter-in-law talking about grandson, he was not very happy.
"It's a good thing for children to be active in school. Learning is something that can't be rushed. Maybe they will get it someday."
Guan Ailian winked at Yang Niannian and spoke in a low voice.
"Look at our father-in-law, he is very protective of his son. Even I, his biological mother, cannot say a word about him. Tiantian is not a good student to begin with, and he doesn't allow anyone to say anything about him."
Yang Niannian blinked, "He must have seen that Tiantian is a big boy now, and felt that he should give the child some face."
Guan Ailian knew her son very well and said with a "hmm".
"Look at him, he's like a monkey all day long, how can he save face?"
Ma Xiuzhu fished out six eggs from the basin and gave them to the three children. "Two eggs for each of you. You must get 100 points in the exam. Do you hear me?"
Without waiting for the children to answer, Guan Ailian burst into laughter.
"Mom, do you think your grandson can get a perfect score? I'll be thankful if he can pass."
Guan Ailian knew what her son was like better than anyone else. A perfect score? Maybe in the next life!
Lu Guozhi glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law with dissatisfaction, "The child is already an adult, you should be more careful with your words."
Tiantian was not angry at all. He chuckled twice shamelessly.
"It's okay. I think what my mom said is right. My goal this time is to pass the exam. If I don't get into high school next year, I won't go to school anymore and will go to the mountains with my dad to plant fruit trees. My classmate Wang Chuanqi stopped going to school after fifth grade and works in a kiln factory with his dad. I heard that his family is planning to find him a wife next year."
Li Fengyi and Lu Ruoling happened to come down from upstairs and teased him when they heard this.
"You are so young, and you are already thinking about finding a wife?"
I am thick-skinned every day and I don’t feel embarrassed.
"If I don't look for one now, won't it be enough in two or three years? Uncle, you have to help me take care of it by then. If there are girls who know how to live, please keep an eye out for them for me."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room burst into laughter. Tiantian was a child whose academic performance was not good, but as he grew older, he became more and more thick-skinned, not stage-frightened, and could talk a lot.
Seeing that everyone had come down, Lu Guozhi smiled and waved, "Everyone sit down and eat, the food will get cold soon."
Tiantian took two eggs and took a steamed sweet potato from the table in her hand.
"Uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, take your time eating. I'll eat on the way. My academic performance is not good. If I continue to procrastinate on the exam, the teacher will give me the cold shoulder."
"Brother, wait for me, I will go with you."
"I'm going too."
Baby and Xingxing each grabbed a sweet potato and ran faster than the rabbits.
Guan Ailian shouted towards the yard, "The school is so close, it only takes about ten minutes to walk there, why are you in such a hurry?"
She muttered again, as the children had already run away and hadn't heard her at all.
"Tiantian is in the same school as Xingxing. He will be going to high school next year and is anxious about the exams. Bao Bao is only in the first grade, and I don't know why he is so anxious."
Yang Niannian was a little surprised, "Baby is only in the first grade?"
