Chapter 64 Everyone has possessive desires

Yao Shuxin studied even harder, staying up very late every night.

At first, Yao Shuxin was worried about wasting electricity by studying too late, so she thought of using a kerosene lamp to study.

Fortunately, Yao Shula noticed in time and stopped it.

How can an oil lamp compare to an electric light? Don't let Yao Shuxin end up wearing glasses with lenses as thick as beer bottles by the time she's ready to go to university.

The three Yao siblings have such beautiful eyes; they all have lovely phoenix eyes.

It would be such a shame if it were blocked by the bottom of the bottle!

Yao Shula immediately moved the lamp that originally belonged to Shuman's room to Yao Shuxin.

"Just study with the desk lamp on. Don't worry about the electricity. Your sister said she'll definitely be able to support you."

Yao Shuxin felt relieved and devoted herself even more to her studies.

But Yao Shuxin's understanding nature made Yao Shula feel a little sorry for her.

When she got up early to memorize her lessons, she would always fill the water tank to the brim and secretly start cooking porridge.

One day, Yao Shula heard a noise and got up, just in time to see Yao Shuxin sitting in front of the stove with a book, reading and tending the fire at the same time...

She always does things promptly if they are easy to do and don't take up too much time.

Yao Shula tried to persuade her several times, but it was no use. Yao Shuxin always stubbornly said, "Sister, I know what's important."

I'm only in my final year of junior high now. When I'm in my final year of senior high, I definitely won't do any housework; I'll focus entirely on studying.

...

Time passed day by day. Just as Yao Shula and the others took off their heavy cotton-padded coats and put on light jackets, Zhong Xiaochun from the old house came to find Yao Shula.

"The day after tomorrow is the actual day. You should take your younger brother and sister with you first thing tomorrow morning."

Oh, Shuxin and Shuli have to go to school, right?

Then you should tell Shuxin and Shuli that they should eat there whether it's lunchtime or evening after school.

My dad is here to cook, and I asked him to make extra delicious food for you three siblings.

Tomorrow is for the makeup session, the day after tomorrow is the actual day, and the day after that is for the family reunion!

Grandma and my mother-in-law both said that you three siblings and Tiantian should all go.

"Also...Grandma asked someone to tell Uncle San that as long as the gift is sent, you don't need to come over. You three siblings can relax and have fun over there!" Zhong Xiaochun said softly.

Yao Shula felt much better.

Grandma Yao is such a kind person! If Yao Guohua had been there all along, I really wouldn't have felt comfortable going there to eat for three days in a row.

She was afraid that she would lose control and point the kitchen knife at Yao Guohua again.

“Okay! I’ll go over right after breakfast tomorrow morning…” Yao Shula was about to agree.

“Okay! I’ll wait for you at home! Remember to come early!” Zhong Xiaochun asked softly, holding Yao Shula’s hand.

Yao Shula raised her eyebrows.

"Third Sister-in-law, is something the matter?"

"Oh dear, as you know, starting tomorrow, all the relatives from the family will definitely be coming."

That auntie... I mean my mother-in-law's older sister, she's coming too.

You know how annoying she is; even if she's saying something nice, it just comes out of her mouth and makes you feel nauseous.

Shura, I'm bad with words, and my parents will be home tomorrow.

You'll have to teach me how to retort later.

"That way my parents will feel more at ease!" Zhong Xiaochun said softly.

Yao Shula understood: Debating is her forte!

“Come on, Third Sister-in-law, tell me, what does that Auntie usually say?” Yao Shula immediately perked up.

Zhong Xiaochun moved closer to Yao Shula.

"She usually says these kinds of things..."

...

After seeing Zhong Xiaochun off, Yao Shula was in a good mood.

Starting tomorrow, I won't have to cook anymore; I can eat three good meals a day at the old house.

Then I won't make breakfast tomorrow morning. I'll give Shuxin and Shuli two cents each, and they can go to the state-run restaurant for a bite to eat.

I can also take Xiaotian to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks.

After we finished eating, I took Xiaotian to the old house...

"Big sister, are we going to a big banquet tomorrow?" Xiao Tiantian asked while peeling scallions for Yao Shula.

“Yes! It’s a wedding banquet. You’ll come with me,” Yao Shula said with a smile.

Xiao Tiantian said "oh" and then asked another question.

"Do I still need to hold the photo frame?"

Yao Shula...

Xiao Tian only remembered that when she first came to the Yao family, Yao Shula made her hold the photo frame...

"This is someone else's happy occasion; there's no need to bring a photo frame."

"What? You've never attended a wedding banquet before?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.

Xiao Tian thought about it carefully and immediately nodded.

“I attended! I went with you to your father’s wedding banquet before the Lunar New Year, and I carried the photo frame.”

At the beginning of last year, I attended my dad's wedding banquet. I was too young then to know how to hold a photo frame.

"Oh, my dad's wedding banquet was held at a restaurant, and I even said some auspicious words!" Xiao Tiantian said earnestly.

"You even said auspicious words? What auspicious words did you say?" Yao Shula asked curiously.

"I wish he could have eight children in two years! It's a pity I didn't know you guys back then."

"If I knew you guys, I would definitely have dragged you along, carrying my mom's photo frame, to the wedding banquet too," Xiao Tiantian snorted.

Yao Shula...

Just as Yao Shula was about to change the subject, there was a knock on the front door, and Xiao Tiantian was the first to run to open it.

"It must be my older brother coming back!"

Yao Shula was a little skeptical... Well, as expected, the two brothers had a connection, and the person who came was indeed Lei Jingwu carrying a large box.

"Big brother, you didn't go to my dad's place, did you?" That was the first thing Xiao Tiantian asked.

Lei Jingwu quickly shook his head.

"Of course I didn't go! The car brought me here directly. I'll go to your dad's place after I bring the things over to you."

Little Tiantian is very satisfied.

...

Seeing Xiaotian playing with the toy airplane that Lei Jingwu brought from Shanghai, Yao Shula breathed a sigh of relief.

Lei Jingwu first took an envelope out of his pocket.

"There was fifty yuan inside, along with some meat coupons, grain coupons, and some sugar coupons as well."

If you need anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you!

Yao Shula nodded and generously accepted the envelope.

Lei Jingwu smiled as he watched Xiao Tiantian having a great time.

"I haven't caused you any trouble, have I? This child is still young, but sometimes he can be a little awkward."

He's just a bit too possessive now. He won't even let my third uncle's people touch the things I brought from Shanghai.

It's not like this in your family, is it? Don't worry, it'll be fine when you're a little older." Lei Jingwu made conversation.

Yao Shula glanced at Lei Jingwu with some surprise.

"You're possessive all the time? I never noticed! You're very generous in our family!"

However, when it comes to possessiveness, everyone has possessiveness.

"I can be quite possessive sometimes." Yao Shula subconsciously spoke up for Xiao Tiantian.

"You're possessive?" Lei Jingwu was a little skeptical.

“Really! This was the worst I’ve ever been possessive. I felt like all your money was mine!” Yao Shula said earnestly.

Lei Jingwu...
