Chapter 220 The School Invites You

After watching Yao Shula and Miao Yamin talking in the yard for a while, Xiao Tiantian suddenly turned around and took out his pinyin notebook from the drawer of his desk.

"What are you going to write now! Didn't you finish your homework?" Yao Shuli came over.

Little Tiantian picked up a pencil and began writing diligently in her pinyin notebook.

Yao Shuli also watched attentively.

Isn't this the requirement that Xiaotian asked me to write for finding a partner for her older sister?

Good-looking, rich, good-tempered, and good at gardening...

"What you wrote is... that you can't find someone like Zhang Tiesheng? Is it really worth noting this down?" Yao Shuli looked at the simple sentence mixed with Chinese characters and pinyin with a bit of helplessness.

Xiao Tian nodded very seriously.

"This is very important, okay!"

Look at Zhang Tiesheng, he seems honest, doesn't he? Everyone says he's honest! But what happened? Didn't such an honest person still do dishonest things?

Therefore, there are requirements for being honest; it's not that honest people are necessarily good people.

Wasn't Sister Chun Nian tricked by this honest man?

In the future, we must ensure that the partners we find for everyone are not like Zhang Tiesheng, who is only pretending to be honest.

We absolutely must find my older sister a truly honest and kind man who genuinely loves his wife...

"But if it's good to my eldest sister... it doesn't matter whether I'm honest or not, none of my brothers are honest." Xiao Tiantian said very confidently.

Yao Shuli hummed in agreement, then turned around and pulled out a bundle of bricks tied together from under the bed to begin exercising.

"Brother Shuli, what are you doing? Is this required for PE class?" Xiaotian asked curiously.

Yao Shuli shook his head as he held up the brick.

"No! I want to train hard and get my body in great shape so that I can protect my eldest and second eldest sisters after they get married."

"If anyone dares to bully my sisters, I'll teach them a lesson," Yao Shuli said.

Xiao Tiantian hummed in agreement, then turned around and added two more sentences in her notebook, a mixture of Chinese characters and pinyin.

"We need to find someone who can protect the eldest sister, but he can't hit her; only the eldest sister can hit him."

...

As the weather gets colder, both adults and children are wearing thick clothes.

In addition to replacing all the shirts, undershirts, sweaters, long johns, and cotton-padded jackets and trousers for the whole family, Yao Shula's family also has an extra item for heating this year.

Zhou Ping'an, who lives next door, had a gas-sealed stove installed in the main room of his house, and Yao Shula also had one installed in the main room of her house.

They also added a thick cotton curtain inside the main hall's door.

In this way, even if it snows heavily, everyone can simply go into the main room and warm up.

There was always hot water on the stove in the main room, and you could roast a sweet potato or a slice of steamed bun when you had nothing to do.

In short, the effect is not as good as air conditioning or electric heaters, but in Yun County, it is already considered very good.

Anyway, ever since the first heavy snow, Yao Shula has kept the stove burning brightly, so the three little ones can move around in the main room without wearing cotton-padded coats, just sweaters.

As for the possibility of my hands aching from the cold while writing, that's impossible.

Even Yuanbao, who usually loves to go out and play, doesn't like to leave the main room. Every day, he drags the cushion that Yao Shula made for him to the stove and sleeps there.

When the weather first started to get cold, Yao Shula was thinking about whether to pickle some dried radishes, dry some green beans, purslane, or pickle some pickled mustard greens.

Someone immediately came over from Grandma Yao's and Uncle Shu's side.

"You don't need to worry about pickled vegetables or anything like that. With so many people, how could we let you go without a single bite of pickled vegetables in winter?"

I've already pickled dried radish, dried green beans, and pickled mustard greens. I'll bring them over for you when they're ready.

"You just need to take good care of your younger siblings." This was what Zhong Xiaochun said to Old Yao's family.

Yao Shula immediately smiled and agreed.

Every year in late autumn, Grandma Yao and her aunt would pickle vegetables for the Yao family.

This year, Zhong Xiaochun opened a restaurant again, and he also prepared a lot of marinated food for Yao Shula.

Uncle Shu also brought two jars of his homemade pickled goods when the first snow fell.

"This jar contains pickled mustard greens, made by your aunt. They're best eaten as a side dish with porridge."

This jar contains dried radish. You know how to eat it if it's in a jar. And these are thirty salted duck eggs, which are already flavorful enough, so they weren't put in a jar.

"Eat first, then tell me when you're done, and I'll have your older brother bring you some more."

After saying all that, Uncle Shu took another walk around Yao Shula's house to see where it needed repairs and also asked about the family's situation.

Yao Shula answered them all seriously.

Seeing that the house had everything it needed and the main room was warm and cozy, Uncle Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Yao Shula, then reached into his pocket to give her money...

Yao Shula quickly pressed his hand down.

"Uncle, as I told you, I have enough money every month now! You really don't need to worry about us."

Uncle Shu thought about what Yao Shula had said...

If they don't want to take it now, then so be it. We'll bring them more nice gifts during the Lunar New Year. Also, when they visit on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we'll give the children extra lucky money...

"Okay, then your uncle won't pay for you. Also, your aunt asked me to tell you to thank her. She's busy at home and has to take care of the new mother, so she can't leave."

"Once your eldest cousin's wife finishes her postpartum confinement, she will definitely come to see you!" Uncle Shu said with a smile.

A month ago, my aunt's mother suddenly lost control of one side of her body, and several hospitals couldn't help her.

After Xiao Tian found out, she secretly called Lei Jingwu, who immediately found an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the provincial hospital.

Uncle Shu and his wife took the old man to the provincial capital for half a month, where he received acupuncture treatments for half a month. After returning, the old man was able to walk again.

"Uncle, don't thank me, it's because of our family relationship."

"Every day I say that my aunt is a good person, and good people should be rewarded!" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Uncle Shu's eyes reddened.

Schumann would be very happy to know that the children are taking good care of themselves!

"Alright! Uncle isn't good with words, so I won't say these things. But no matter what happens at home, you must tell Uncle!"

After saying this, Uncle Shu pushed the cart away.

Yao Shula stayed in the courtyard for a while, but when the northwest wind blew, she quickly shrank her head and ran to the main room.

...

As winter approached, the weather grew increasingly cold.

Yao Shula could clearly feel that this winter was colder than before.

That day, Yao Shula watched as the children finished washing up and put their shoes to dry by the stove. She was just about to ask them what they wanted to eat tomorrow!

Yao Shuli spoke in a low voice.

"Big sister, the teacher wants you to go to school tomorrow."

Yao Shula...

Well, in the end, I couldn't escape it, and I still had to face the situation of having my parents called in!
