After a round, An An Le Le took her younger brother and sister home.
There were a lot of red envelopes on the table, with a small pile in front of each person.
Song Shuxi had previously set a range for them, how much money she could charge if she had a good relationship with them, and how much money she could charge if she was not familiar with them.
An An Lele knows all this.
After paying New Year’s greetings, I will quietly look around. It doesn’t matter if they gave too little, but if they gave too much, I will find a way to return it.
Therefore, these red envelopes now belong to their own assets and are at their disposal.
An An Lele also prepared a small notebook for herself to keep accounts.
Both of them now have 95.43 yuan.
Looking at these numbers with both zeros and integers, Lele was unwilling and wanted to change them into integers.
"Brother, please give me four dollars and fifty-seven cents."
An An glared at him and said, "Look, is it dark now?"
Lele's eyes turned and he started to think about Yueyue and Yangyang.
Although Yangyang didn't know what money was, she instinctively put all the red envelopes in her own small bag and held it to prevent others from touching it.
Lele asked, "Yueyue, can brother trade with you? I'll trade you candy, your favorite sweet candy."
Yueyue pushed with her little hand, "Here you go, candy."
An An stopped her in time, "Yueyue is still young and can't eat. Do you want to be spanked by your dad?"
Lele quickly withdrew his hand. He doesn't want to, not at all. His father knows how to use the iron sand palm technique, and it hurts a lot.
But he really wanted an integer, it was so annoying to see it this way.
He looked at An An pleadingly, "Brother, brother, brother An An."
An An felt a chill and quickly gave him four dollars and fifty-seven cents, "Here, here, here, don't disgust me."
An An is willing to spend money to buy quietness.
Lele was happy, and took the money to find Song Shuxi, "Mom, mom, help me change it into whole bills."
Since they came back, Song Shuxi and Wei Jianguo noticed them. It was just the children's business, they didn't interfere and just watched the show quietly from the side.
Song Shuqian complained to Wei Jianguo seemingly unintentionally, "An An is too accommodating to his brother. If it were me, I would definitely ask Le Le to work in exchange, to help me wash my socks or pour water for washing my feet."
Lele looked at her mother in horror.
Song Shuqian looked at her son with a smile, as if she was not the one who inadvertently came up with the bad idea just now.
"LeLe, is there anything you need from your mother?"
"It's okay, Mom, I remembered that there is still a book I haven't read yet, I'll go now." After saying that, he turned and ran away.
An An was thoughtful and silently wrote down what her mother said, thinking she could try it later.
Wei Jianguo rubbed Song Shuxi's head and became more and more naughty.
He understood his wife's worries. An'an and Lele are twins. Although they are called brother and brother, there is really no need for one to give in to the other. She didn't want An An to get used to giving in and Le Le to get used to asking for things, so she would always inadvertently come up with some "bad ideas" and cause the two brothers to occasionally fight over things.
The more this happens, the better the relationship between the two children.
Song Shuqian had no idea that because of her way of education, these two people would become smiling tigers that no one dared to mess with in the future school. They would come up with a dirty trick with a single turn of their eyes and they especially liked to cheat people secretly.
The key is that the two of them have a tacit understanding and can read each other's thoughts with just a glance.
It's hard to guard against.
These are all issues that Song Shuqian needs to consider in the future.
At this moment, she was playing chess with Wei Jianguo, as she was addicted to the game.
Wei Jianguo plays chess with great moves, just like deploying troops on the battlefield. One gets the feeling that "the masts, sails, and oars are reduced to ashes while talking and laughing."
Sometimes they sacrifice pieces to gain the upper hand, like a hero cutting off his own arm, without any concern for local gains or losses; sometimes they use large numbers of troops to attack fiercely, like a flood or a beast, heading straight for the enemy's death. His moves are unpredictable, sometimes like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, hiding mysteries, and sometimes like a flying dragon in the sky, showing his domineering power.
Song Shuqian prefers to look at the overall situation and is good at achieving victory without making any noise. Every move may seem easy and calm, but in fact it is like the layout of a master, meticulous and precise.
Two people play chess, not for winning or losing, but simply for the little fun between husband and wife, which is appropriate.
Maybe it’s because he’s getting older, or maybe it’s because of the influence of his parents, but Lele, who used to run away when he saw a chess game, is now willing to sit by and watch quietly for an hour.
An An would always write down the chess game, then review it to find better moves.
In this way, he progressed at an astonishing speed, like bamboo shoots breaking through the ground, and he was able to internalize knowledge and skills at an amazing speed.
When Wei Jianguo was busy, An An would play chess with Song Shuqian.
Now, the two of them can also play a game of mutual exchange.
The Spring Festival in the family compound is over after the first day of the Lunar New Year.
For military wives like them who married from other places, they don’t have their parents’ home here, so everything goes on as usual during the first month of the year.
People on the grassland often say, "Don't go out on the 19th and 29th days; walk on the ice on the 39th and 49th days. On the 59th and 69th days, watch the willows along the river. On the 79th day, the river opens; on the 89th day, wild geese come. On the 99th plus the 19th day, oxen are everywhere."
In addition, the wind here is extremely strong, and some lightweight women and children will be blown away by the wind.
So, everyone can only stay at home, which is a real hibernation.
With Song Shuxi around, staying at home every day isn’t boring.
In the morning, she assigned study tasks to An An Lele. The first thing they do after getting up is to practice martial arts. Then they need to practice calligraphy and attend classes in the morning. Song Shuqian personally explained that these were compulsory courses for the young masters of noble families in previous lives.
In addition, they also need to chat with her in English for half an hour. They can talk about anything. The only requirement is that it is all in English.
At this time, Yueyue and Yangyang would listen along or play by themselves.
In the afternoon, An An Lele is the little teacher, responsible for enlightening her younger brothers and sisters or playing games. They can arrange it however they want, as long as they don't disturb Song Shuxi's work.
The days passed one by one, and Song Shuxi was really bored, so she went to Tiantian's house to listen to her and Saren gossiping.
Yang Hongbo and his wife, who lived next door to Tiantian's house, became the passive targets of their gossip.
Tiantian pulled Song Shuqian and whispered, "There was another quarrel next door last night, this time it was because of the pension money for the family.
Yang Hongbo's family separated very early, and he could not be with his parents to fulfill his filial duties, so the money he gave was a little more. I heard yesterday that it’s 10 yuan per month, and 10 yuan more during the holidays.
Lin Wanjiao was reluctant to part with the money, so she secretly kept it, thinking that no one would know about it.
As a result, Yang Hongbo's hometown did not receive the money, and a phone call revealed everything. "
Song Shuqian found it incredible. "This money was agreed before the marriage. Why is she so worried about this little money? Spending a little money to buy a mother-in-law who is not around is something many people dream of.
Besides, Lin Wanjiao is not short of money. I have seen her several times and the clothes she wore were very new, probably newly made. "
Tiantian couldn't help but laugh, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
"Huh? What is that?"
"That person has always regarded you as an imaginary enemy and has been copying you in terms of dressing style. All the new clothes he made recently were modeled after yours."
Song Shuqian's eyes were confused. "Ah? My thickest clothes are the ones I bought from Harbin when I just got married. They are very warm and I don't want to change them."
With her sweet smile, Song Shuxi is the weather vane of the family compound. Everyone likes to copy whatever she wears.
As a result, she was afraid of the cold and kept wearing old clothes.
It’s so funny.
