Chapter 47 is too kind.

Chapter 47 is too kind.

When Yao Shula saw the two large cardboard boxes, she didn't even bother to greet Lei Jingwu.

"Tian Tian, ​​it's enough that you came in person, why did you bring so much stuff!"

We've all missed you these past few days while you've been away. Shuli even said that he can't sleep at night without you here.

"I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and even going out shopping feels pointless!" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Yao Shuli...

He only mentioned it a little bit, okay? It wasn't as exaggerated as the older sister said.

You can't eat or sleep well, but these past two days you've been eating and sleeping incredibly well, and nobody's even fighting with you for the blankets anymore...

Xiao Tian's eyes lit up when she heard that.

"Really? Then I'll sleep here tonight!"

Yao Shula didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just Xiao Tiantian's wishful thinking.

He wants to sleep here, but his family certainly won't be happy about it.

Xiao Tiantian ignored all of that and squatted down to show Yao Shula the contents of the two boxes.

"This is milk powder. My older brother just brought it over. Grandpa said there's not much fresh milk here, so he asked my older brother to bring me a lot of milk powder."

I can't finish it all by myself, so let's all drink it together.

This is chocolate. My uncle brought it back from abroad, and my grandfather also had my older brother bring it back for me.

We'll eat together then.

This is canned mandarin oranges, canned loquats, and canned lychees, which are only available in the south.

Sisters, you've probably never had canned lychees before!

Let me tell you, it's so sweet and delicious! I could eat a whole bottle by myself!

But Grandpa wouldn't let me eat too much, saying the doctor said that if I ate too much, my teeth would rot..."

As Xiaotian spoke, she took the things out of the box.

Soon, the eight-immortal table was filled with food.

Besides the things Xiaotian mentioned, there was also malted milk powder, lotus root starch, canned yellow croaker, all kinds of candies, and some beautifully packaged pastries.

Oh, and four boxes of preserved eggs too...

"How did you two manage to get these two boxes over here?" Yao Shula asked, a little curious.

"The car drove up to the gate, dropped us off, and then left," Xiao Tiantian said proudly.

Yao Shula responded with an "oh".

Well, her father is the top official in the county, so it's not a big deal if he occasionally uses an official vehicle for personal purposes!

Just as Yao Shula was about to say a few more words, Xiao Tiantian suddenly looked at her expectantly.

"Big sister, Happy New Year!" Xiao Tiantian suddenly said to Yao Shula.

Yao Shula was taken aback at first, then she realized what it was about.

Before the Lunar New Year, I said that I would give Xiaotian lucky money when he came again.

Thinking of this, Yao Shula immediately took out a dollar from her pocket and put it in Xiao Tiantian's hand.

"Here, take this, it's New Year's money from your sister!"

I hope you grow taller and taller every day in the new year.

Little Tiantian couldn't stop smiling as he touched the one-yuan coin.

"Big sister, how much lucky money did you give Sister Shuxin and Brother Shuli?" Xiao Tiantian asked hurriedly.

“It’s only one yuan, what’s wrong?” Yao Shula asked.

When Xiao Tian heard that he was being given the same amount, he was overjoyed. He immediately and carefully put the one yuan into the pocket of his inner clothes and pressed it down gently.

Then he took a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from the table and dragged Yao Shuli out to play.

Lei Jingwu, who had been ignored all along, smiled and shook his head.

I gave this kid twenty yuan as New Year's money yesterday, and also brought one hundred yuan as New Year's money for the old man from Shanghai.

I've never seen this kid laugh so happily before!

Yao Shula gave him a dollar and he was so happy he was practically ecstatic...

The connections between people... are truly strange!

Thinking of this, Lei Jingwu quickly smiled at Yao Shula.

“It’s all Tiantian’s thoughtfulness; he really likes your family,” Lei Jingwu said to Yao Shula with a smile.

Yao Shula smiled. If these things were sold in the alley behind the supply and marketing cooperative, they could definitely fetch a lot of money...

"By the way, how was your New Year?" Lei Jingwu asked, trying to make conversation.

"It's great! There's food and drink, and we can watch something exciting!" Yao Shula said honestly.

Lei Jingwu smiled.

It seems the three siblings had a good New Year...

"By the way, Yao Shula, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor." Lei Jingwu suddenly looked at the absent-minded Yao Shula.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Yao Shula was startled.

She's a young woman in her early twenties, without a job or any skills, and it's difficult for her to even leave the county.

What could possibly require someone like Lei Jingwu to ask for my help?

“It’s just…” Lei Jingwu himself didn’t know how to begin.

"It's okay, I'll definitely help if it's within my power." Yao Shula looked at Lei Jingwu with great confidence.

Lei Jingwu thought for a moment, then spoke up.

"It's just... could you please take care of Tiantian for me?"

I've been counting the days since he went home from your place until I returned from Shanghai yesterday.

He called to complain twelve times, averaging twice a day.

Tian Tian and that third aunt... are practically irreconcilable enemies.

Of course, these are all conflicts that occur when Dad isn't home.

His dad is home, and he's more well-behaved than anyone else every day.

Plus, my third aunt is pregnant again now, and this constant arguing isn't going to work.

Every day at home, she often says how wonderful and comfortable it is to be here with you.

"Tian Tian's dad wanted me to ask if it's okay to leave Tian Tian with you when he's not home." Lei Jingwu said, while observing Yao Shula's expression.

Yao Shula's face stiffened.

Xiao Tiantian stays here occasionally, and she definitely has no objection.

The son of the county magistrate is someone that other families would love to be around!

But it can't last too long.

Little Tiantian looks like a mischievous but delicate child. If he gets hurt here at home, I really won't be able to explain myself.

"Lei Jingwu, do you think this is appropriate?" Yao Shula asked Lei Jingwu with a smile.

Having said it, Lei Jingwu didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Without even thinking, he said, "Comrade Yao Shula is kind-hearted, of excellent character, and compassionate towards the elderly and the poor. You certainly wouldn't refuse, right?"

Yao Shula...

"Your flattery won't work!"

"Little Tiantian looks like she's been spoiled since she was little. If something happens to her, we won't be able to explain it to her," Yao Shula said bluntly.

Lei Jingwu was a little surprised.

If it were someone else's family, wouldn't they be more than happy to help the Party Secretary look after his child?

“It’s alright! We trust you! You’ve taken such good care of your younger siblings, you’ll definitely be able to take good care of Tiantian,” Lei Jingwu insisted.

"You're really stubborn!" Yao Shula snorted.

"Besides stubbornness, what else do you want to say about me?" Lei Jingwu asked.

"Can you say that if you're shameless?" Yao Shula looked at Lei Jingwu.

Lei Jingwu...

“I won’t let you watch the kids for nothing! I’ll pay you every month,” Lei Jingwu added quietly.

Yao Shula's eyes lit up immediately.

They pay you!

Then everything is negotiable!
