Chapter 223 Showing Off in Style

Yao Shula knew that Xiao Tiantian had a cheerful personality, and even if he was a little unhappy, he could cheer himself up without her having to comfort him.

But Yao Shula never expected that Xiao Tiantian could be so lively...

Teacher Zhao quickly told Yao Shula what had happened.

Yao Shula was certain that Yao Shula wouldn't be daydreaming or talking to classmates during class. Xiao Tiantian insisted that her older sister liked children who did well in school and those who paid attention in class.

So he never daydreamed in class; his focused demeanor earned him praise from his teachers every day.

Tian Tian is focused and attentive during class, and just as energetic and lively after class.

In the week before school started, Xiao Tiantian would run to the fourth grade to play with Yao Shuli every day after class, and she would also bring her classmates.

After all the first-grade students found out that Xiaotian had an older brother who was in fourth grade, Xiaotian stopped going to see Yao Shuli.

Everyone knows his brother is in fourth grade, so no one will be so tactless as to bully him.

Later on, he started playing with the first-graders.

Children love to play and are active, and Xiao Tiantian is no exception. He loves to play and is more active than others, after all, his older sister said that a balance between work and rest is the key to good grades.

He didn't want to become a weak, bookish scholar who couldn't lift a finger or carry anything heavy.

Little Tiantian quickly became friends with everyone.

Kids, they'll start showing off when they spend a lot of time together.

From what you ate for breakfast to what your parents bought for you, these are all things you can brag about.

Logically speaking, Xiaotian should have plenty of things to show off.

His father is a high-ranking official, his family is quite wealthy, and he has many impressive older brothers. He can show off anything he casually takes out to other children for a long time.

But Xiaotian just doesn't show off these things.

What was he showing off? He was showing off his little backpack, and he even pulled out the sweater with little airplanes inside his cotton-padded jacket to show everyone.

Later on, Xiaotian started showing off her older sister.

Boasting about having the best older sister, regardless of the occasion, environment, or gender...

"These are gloves my sister knitted for me. Why didn't your parents prepare gloves for you?"

It's so cold, and you're not wearing gloves? Aren't they worried your hands will get frostbite?

Ah, it's so nice to have an older sister! This was prepared by my sister.

You should just ask your mom to give you a sister!

"Look, this is a little schoolbag my sister embroidered for me. Isn't it pretty? My sister was worried that we would mix up our schoolbags, so she specially embroidered this for me."

Look at you, your dad didn't even think to get you a different kind of backpack.

Having a father is worse than having an older sister. Why don't you go find an older sister outside too?

"What did you eat for breakfast? Salty porridge and flatbread!"

I ate so well! The wontons with preserved egg and pork filling were made by my sister. They were so delicious, I could eat a whole bowl every time.

What? Your parents and grandma won't make it for you?

"What a pity. If you had a sister like me, you would definitely have done it for me."

...

And so, less than a month into the school year, everyone in the first grade, from students to teachers, knew that Lei Jingtian had an all-powerful older sister.

She can cook, knit, and do all sorts of things. She also dotes on Lei Jingtian, treating him like her own precious eye.

In addition, it rained suddenly not long ago, and Yao Shula went out of her way to bring umbrellas and rain boots to her younger siblings...

This made everyone incredibly envious.

With just a little rain, which child didn't run home in the rain? Only Lei Jingtian slowly changed into his rain boots, grabbed his umbrella, and leisurely followed Yao Shuli home after school.

Little Tiantian became even more smug and started showing off her good older sister even more.

The first thing he says to people now is, "You know what? My sister said..."

Some children felt not only envy, but also a little jealousy.

"What's there to show off? So what if you have a nice older sister?"

Xiao Tiantian immediately retorted.

"Yeah, that's just showing off! I have you but you're useless! Even if you did have you, you could ask your sister to cook you delicious food, make you nice clothes, and even bring you rain boots and an umbrella!"

Many children are truly envious of Xiaotian. After going home, many ask their parents why they don't knit gloves for them, why they don't make nice little backpacks for them, why they don't make wontons with preserved egg and pork filling for them, why they don't bring umbrellas or shoes when it rains, and whether they are not their biological children but were picked up from the outhouse...

Children's tantrums are unpredictable; they throw tantrums and roll around on the floor at home...

This commotion led some parents to the school, asking if it was at the teacher's request...

...

"See, that's how it is. We also know that you must be a good older sister, and that you must really like Lei Jingtian so much to be so nice to Tiantian."

We can also see that Lei Jingtian really likes you and will definitely be willing to listen to you.

Why don't you go back and try to persuade Lei Jingtian? Well, not in a direct way, but... in a subtle way.

Of course, it's also fine not to advise against it.

As teachers, we all know that students come from different families. Some families have several children, and the adults are too busy to take care of them all.

"The children are young and quite sensitive. If they feel the difference is too great..." Teacher Zhao looked at Yao Shula awkwardly.

There was nothing Yao Shula didn't understand.

Xiao Tiantian's boasting has gone too far, causing many students to begin to doubt whether they are their parents' biological children.

"Teacher Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely have a good talk with Lei Jingtian when I get back," Yao Shula immediately assured her.

Teacher Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the parents are willing to talk, that's fine. At first, she was really worried that Lei Jingtian's sister might be a difficult character!

Lei Jingtian has a special background; his father is the top official in Yun County, so he must have been spoiled and pampered growing up. His older sisters must have looked down on him.

Looking at it now, Lei Jingtian's sister is actually quite reasonable!

"That's good! Of course, Lei Jingtian is still very outstanding. He is very good at both Chinese and arithmetic."

The handwriting was so neat, it looked like it had been copied from a book.

"You must have put in a lot of effort." Teacher Zhao immediately switched back to the praise segment.

Yao Shula smiled and chatted with Teacher Zhao for a while, also praising Teacher Zhao for being such a good gardener.

...

When school was over, Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian immediately spotted Yao Shula waiting for them at the school gate, pushing her bicycle.

"Sister!" Yao Shuli grabbed Xiao Tiantian and ran over here.

Little Tiantian waved to her friends.

"I'm leaving now, my older sister is here to pick me up! I told you, my older sister is the best, you guys don't have one, do you!"
