Chapter 39 Attending the Birthday Party
Si Jinchen didn't expect that the weather was so good yesterday, but it actually rained in the middle of the night.
After the two children finished washing up, they accompanied Old Madam Si for breakfast. Si Tian went out early in the morning.
"Grandma, will you go with us?" Si Jinchen looked at Old Madam Si.
"Yes, your Grandma Qian also invited grandma today, so grandma will go with you." Madam Si said with a smile.
The two children have to go to school in the morning and will go to Qian's house after they finish school.
Only Yan Anqing came today, and the rain got his robe and shoes wet.
Madam Si looked at his wet clothes, shoes and socks and asked, "Mr. Yan, did you walk here?"
"Yeah, I forgot that clothes would get wet in this weather." Yan Anqing said apologetically.
Madam Si thought for a moment and said, "I see your figure is similar to A Tian's. I'll go find a new gown for you to change into."
After she said that, she asked someone to find a long gown and new shoes and socks for him to change into.
The clothes that were taken off were washed and placed in front of the fireplace to dry.
Yan Anqing looked at Juanjuan who was sitting upright, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Finally, he cheered up and started teaching the two children.
This class is still about strokes, but today Juanjuan is using a pencil.
The effect is much better than calligraphy, but what's going on with these tadpoles?
Si Jinchen took a look and turned to look at Yan Anqing: "Teacher, Juanjuan has a good talent in painting."
Yan Anqing looked at him and rethought how to teach this child.
This class was another exhausting day for him both physically and mentally. When Mrs. Si asked the driver to take him home, he did not refuse.
Old Madam Si looked at the driving car, then turned to look at the two children, only to see Juanjuan with his head down.
She walked over to Juanjuan and squatted down: "It's okay, we can take our time. Grandma thinks our Juanjuan's paintings are very beautiful."
Juanjuan immediately smiled and said, "Grandma, Juanjuan will work hard."
Madam Si smiled and nodded: "Okay. Let's get ready and go to the Qian family."
The gifts prepared for Qian Xueming have been wrapped. It is raining today, so in addition to the clothes they are wearing, two more sets of clothes should be prepared.
The two children put on the raincoats and rain boots they painted yesterday, which made the originally monotonous and dull colors more lively and made people feel much better.
"Don't cry, as they will be washed away by the rain." Old Man Si looked at their raincoats, fearing that they would be washed away by the rain.
"We won't cry." Juanjuan took her hand and walked outside.
The driver's car was already parked outside the house, so we didn't have to get wet in the rain and could get in directly.
Bailing went with them. She was afraid that Madam Si would be dragged away to play cards soon, so someone had to watch over the two children.
Several people got into the vintage car and headed towards the Qian family.
It was drizzling on the roads today, and pedestrians were holding black umbrellas or oil-paper umbrellas.
The tram was packed with people and drove past their car.
Juanjuan looked at the people in the tram, then looked at the rickshaws that were still running, wearing straw raincoats. Their shoes were already soaked.
But he seemed to not care at all and still took the guests and sent them to their respective destinations.
Madam Si saw that she was looking out the window and asked, "Juanjuan, what are you looking at?"
"Look at me!" Juanjuan turned her head and looked at her and smiled.
"They work so hard. They work hard to make money even on rainy days." Si Jinchen looked at the people working hard outside the car window.
"Yes! They are all working hard to live." Old Madam Si looked at the people outside and didn't know what she was thinking.
The rain kept falling, with no sign of stopping.
There were a lot of people coming to Qian's house today, so not all the vehicles could drive in and had to park on the side of the road.
As soon as the three of them got off the bus, they heard a group of people complaining: "Why is it raining all of a sudden? My clothes and shoes are soaked."
"Haha, stepping on water!" A group of children ignored the adults' complaints, ran towards the pond, and stepped into it.
"Oh! Ancestor, you are not afraid of getting sick. Come back quickly to change your clothes. Let's see what you will do if you get sick later."
There was a mess at the Qian family's gate.
However, the people from the Si family walked past them very quietly.
"Hey! Why are their raincoats so nice? Mom, please buy me some too. I want the same raincoat and rain boots they are wearing."
The group of people were really having a headache: "You change your clothes first, I'll go ask later."
Qian Xueming and Qian Xuexue were already at the door to greet their guests.
When they saw Juanjuan and Si Jinchen, their eyes lit up: "Your raincoats and rain boots are really nice, where did you buy them?"
"It's so ugly." Liu Yueya had been standing beside them since she didn't know when.
"Sister Yueya, this is obviously very beautiful!" Qian Xuexue said with a puzzled look on her face.
"Shorty girls look ugly in their clothes." Liu Yueya didn't know why, but she wanted to tease Juanjuan every time she saw her.
Juanjuan snorted and turned away, ignoring her: "I'm ignoring you."
Qian Xueming studied the raincoat: "The paint hasn't fallen off at all."
"Well, I don't know how Juanjuan did it, but she drew all of these." Si Jinchen said casually.
Bailing came over and helped the two of them take off their raincoats and rain boots and change into more comfortable shoes.
"Thank you, Sister Bailing." Juanjuan thanked her obediently.
"I'm just a servant. Do you need to thank me?"
"They are indeed country bumpkins who have never seen the world." Wu Qian said sarcastically while standing behind them.
Bailing was already used to such words and just did her own thing with all her heart.
"Sister Bailing is not a servant, she is my family." Juanjuan said angrily.
"Tsk, you country girl who has never seen the world, calling a servant "sister"? Aren't you afraid of lowering your status?" Wu Qian rolled her eyes at her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're just a lowly girl born to a servant. Why are you shouting and yelling here? Do you think you're superior?"
Liu Yueya stood in front of Juanjuan.
"You...you think you are so good? Aren't you the daughter of a singer?" Wu Qian looked at her angrily.
"Yes, my mother is a singer, but she is a legitimate wife. She is not comparable to the children born to you, a concubine." Liu Yueya looked at her with disdain.
Wu Qian's eyes reddened: "You..."
"What do you mean by 'you'? Before you talk about others, why don't you look at your own character?" After saying that, Liu Yueya pulled Juanjuan and walked inside.
Wu Qian turned around and went to find her mother crying, but she didn't get any good treatment either. She was slapped by the mistress of the Wu family.
"She is under my protection, Liu Yueya. Just try to provoke her if you dare." Liu Yueya snorted as she looked at the child coming.
After she finished speaking, she did not forget to look at Bailing: "You come too."
Qian Xuexue and Qian Xueming were confused: "Achen, doesn't she dislike Juanjuan?"
