Chapter 121 Nian Nian suspects there is a thief in the house
"no."
Nian Nian thought for two seconds: "Delicious?"
Shi Guilin couldn't help but ask him, "Do you think that's edible?"
"No, I can't," Nian Nian said hesitantly. The card felt hard to the touch, and chewing it would probably hurt my teeth.
"That's called a bank card," Shi Guilin explained patiently. "It's a card you can use to save money, like your Piggy Bank."
"But the bank card is flat, it doesn't have a big belly." Nian Nian said. His piggy bank has a big belly, which can hold a lot of money.
"A bank card is a proof card, just like Nian Nian had a name tag in kindergarten. When you wear the name tag, the teacher knows which class you are in. After you deposit money into the card, you take it to the bank and the staff will know there is money in the card."
"As for the issue of bank cards not having big bellies," Shi Guilin looked at him. "A piggy uses its bellies to hold money, while a bank card is like a big house. It can hold much more than a piggy."
Nian Nian was anxious: "So, how much money is in the card that Papa gave to Nian Nian?"
Shi Guilin replied: "It's a lot of money, probably the sum of your wages from delivering meals to your uncle and others tens of thousands of times at the company."
After a pause, he changed his words to something more understandable: "The money in the card is roughly what you can earn if you start delivering meals to your uncle from now on until you are eighty years old."
As she listened, Nian Nian's mouth slowly opened wide, and her eyes widened: "Nian Nian is too careless..."
Shi Guilin didn't react: "What?"
"Nian Nian put the card under the pillow."
"What's wrong? It can't be lost. There is no thief in the house." Shi Guilin was confused.
"There's a thief in the house!" Nian Nian stopped walking down the stairs and said seriously.
Shi Guilin was stunned and stood on the stairs with him: "How is it possible?"
"Yes, I believe you, papa." Nian Nian stamped her feet anxiously and blurted out the whole thing. "My brother and aunt secretly gave Nian Nian some candy. Nian Nian hid it under her pillow, and it disappeared when she woke up the next day."
"There's a thief, papa."
Shi Guilin, as the thief himself: "..."
For a moment, he kept silent, and his eyes, which had been meeting Nian Nian's, slowly moved away.
It's not his fault. He was just worried about Nian Nian's oral health, how could he be considered a thief? After all, eating that much candy in a day would ruin a child's teeth. He was just fulfilling his fatherly duties.
"Okay." Shi Guilin pretended to believe it, with a look of worry and uneasiness between his brows. "Go back and find another place to hide. Dad will be waiting for you here."
"Okay." Nian Nian quickly ran up the stairs.
Shi Guilin watched his small figure disappear around the corner of the second-floor corridor and breathed a sigh of relief with a complicated feeling in his heart.
In less than three or five minutes, Nian Nian came back stomping around.
"Let's go, Nian Nian is hidden." The panting kid took his father's hand and went downstairs.
"Where is it hidden?" Shi Guilin asked casually.
"Under Yuanyuan's pillow."
"???" Shi Guilin suspected he was hallucinating, "Who?"
"Yuanyuan." Nian Nian said proudly, "The thief will never guess that the money is on Yuanyuan's bed."
Shi Guilin hissed softly. He absurdly felt that what Nian Nian said made some sense.
Fortunately, the father and son went down the last step and the topic of bank cards ended there.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year~"
"Happy New Year, everyone!"
As soon as the two entered the living room, the family members who had already gotten up and come downstairs from the sofa threw blessings to them one after another.
Nian Nian, who had already received a red envelope from her father, was quite experienced. She went to the sofa and wished everyone a happy new year.
He did not follow any rigid order of seniority, but simply started paying respects according to the order of position.
The first one was Shi Linzhuo who sat at the edge.
"Brother, Happy New Year! In the new year, you will definitely be the best and can go to work later!" Nian Nian shouted with full energy, clenching her little fists to cheer him on.
Shi Linzhuo was about to start his third year of high school after the winter break. He had good grades, so he wasn't worried about academic problems; he was only afraid that his father would draft him into a company as soon as he graduated.
He had been repeating it in Nian Nian's ear all day long for years, and even with Alzheimer's disease, Nian Nian remembered it. Look, she even remembered the New Year's greetings.
Shi Linzhuo met Shi Lihan's hawk-like sharp gaze, smiled guiltily, looked away, and then kissed Nian Nian's face with a touching look: "Wow, Nian Nian is so good, you are the only one who truly cares about me."
"Here, a big red envelope!"
Nian Nian couldn't wait to open it, and found a card inside. This time he understood that the bank card was money, so he looked at it with a loving look and carefully put it in his pocket.
The same is true for the rest of the text.
Nian Nian hugged Shi Nanxi's knees and said sincerely, "I wish Auntie to eat more in the new year. Auntie is always thinner every time she comes home. Nian Nian hugged Auntie and felt so sad. Auntie, please don't work too hard."
Shi Nanqi was so moved that he almost shed tears.
She was studying outside and had no one to look after her. When she was busy, she often had irregular eating habits and skipped meals. Unlike at home, she could eat just by looking at Nian Nian and easily managed to eat every meal.
"Hey, good Nian Nian." Shi Nanqi hugged him for a while, "Here's a big red envelope."
Nian Nian opened it and found it was also a card.
Shi Nanqi said that the money was from the copyright fees she earned from the piano piece she gave to Nian Nian two years ago, and she added a little money to it as New Year's money.
Next, Nian Nian wished Shi Lihan and Chen Yi a less busy year and more rest; she also wished Wang Xiulin to learn more cooking skills in the new year; and she also wished that all the flowers Shi Jianfeng raised would live forever...
After one game, Nian Nian had six cards in her pocket.
After this session, the family had breakfast in the restaurant and then went to visit relatives and friends who needed to visit during the New Year.
The Shi family has no branches, so there are no relatives to visit.
Among those who are still alive, Shi Jianfeng has a close relationship with Jiang Shengjun. In addition, Nian Nian also has a good relationship with the children of the Jiang family. So Shi Jianfeng asked Shi Guilin to bring Nian Nian to visit the Jiang family to pay New Year's greetings.
Shi Lihan and Chen Yi went to visit their close business friends; Shi Nanqi went to find a friend; Wang Xiulin contacted her sisters; Shi Linzhuo went to find Ji Tianyun and Cheng Shenyang.
Before leaving, Shi Linzhuo told Nian Nian that he would ask his brothers for red envelopes on her behalf and bring the red envelopes back when he returned home.
Before he could finish his thoughts, Shi Guilin grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him into the car heading to Jiang's house.
