Chapter 257 Giving it to someone else to raise

"Really? Your eldest sister even took a family photo with you! Where are you standing?" Grandpa Lei asked with a smile while holding Xiao Tiantian.

"Of course I'll stand next to the eldest sister!"

It's like taking a picture with you, standing right next to you.

Grandpa, my eldest sister said we should stand like this: my second sister and Shuli stand behind, my eldest sister sits in front, and then I stand next to my eldest sister.

My older sister said that I am an indispensable part of the family and very important.

"My older sister loves me just like my grandfather does," Xiao Tiantian said proudly.

Grandpa Lei held Xiao Tiantian in his arms with great affection, and would occasionally tickle Xiao Tiantian's cheek with his beard.

"Grandpa, I got perfect scores on my exams and even received a certificate! My older sister said I'm a good kid and I should keep working hard," Xiao Tiantian said again.

Grandpa Lei's smile widened.

In the three days since he returned, Xiaotian has shown off his achievements to himself no less than five times.

In addition, Grandpa Lei showed off to his relatives at home no less than fifteen times!

Whenever someone visits him, he brings Xiao Tiantian with him. As soon as the person starts praising Xiao Tiantian, Grandpa Lei immediately begins to show off Xiao Tiantian's achievements.

"That's right, he got perfect scores and received an award. We didn't really manage him; it was his sister who took care of him."

"Your older sister must be happy too! Look at you, you got perfect scores on both tests, and the whole family is happy!" Grandpa Lei was in a good mood.

Speaking of this, Xiao Tiantian had a lot to say, and he quickly stood up in Grandpa Lei's arms.

"Grandpa, my older sister said that grades are only one aspect. It's not enough to just have good grades; good character is also important." Little Tiantian looked at Grandpa Lei very seriously.

Grandpa Lei was a little surprised.

That's great! You're so young, yet you already think about not only getting good grades but also having good character.

To be honest, in the Lei family, they don't really care about their children's grades. In a family like theirs, they don't require you to be number one; as long as your grades are acceptable, that's enough.

Now, Xiaotian not only has good grades, but Yao Shula has also taught him other things.

"So what did your eldest sister teach you, besides academics?" Grandpa Lei asked.

"My older sister said that the learning process is actually the process of becoming a person. Grades are one aspect, but good grades show that I have put my heart into it."

Similarly, I also want to be a good person.

For example, my older sister told me to be helpful, but also to be wary of bad people.

My older sister taught me to be positive and optimistic, but also to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly.

My older sister also taught me that whenever I encounter a problem, I shouldn't just think about asking others for help, but also think about whether I can solve it on my own.

"Oh, Grandpa, I have something to tell you. I really did help someone, just like my older sister said!" Little Tiantian snuggled closer to Grandpa Lei.

Grandpa Lei immediately became interested.

"Come on, tell Grandpa what happened!"

Xiao Tiantian immediately recounted Wang Changsheng's situation, from how Yao Shula taught them to think about the problem and how to solve it, to how she herself tried to find a solution for Wang Changsheng according to Yao Shula's ideas.

Grandpa Lei listened and nodded.

The more I listened to him, the more I realized he was no ordinary person.

He used to think that Yao Shula was kind-hearted and a good girl.

Now that Xiaotian has said this, it's clear that this girl is more than just kind-hearted; she's also calm, intelligent, and composed...

Grandpa Lei suddenly realized that putting Xiao Tiantian next to Yao Shula was the best decision he had made in recent years.

"Tian Tian, ​​do you think what your older sister said makes sense?" Grandpa Lei asked.

Little Tian nodded vigorously.

“That definitely makes sense! What my older sister said is all correct. Most importantly, she treats us all as good friends. She said we are both siblings and friends.”

Unlike other adults, my older sister doesn't just call us kids.

The older sister said that even young children have their own ideas and can express them. Whether or not they can use those ideas is another matter, and that's the adults' business.

The eldest sister also said that if the family's life is to improve, everyone in the family must play a role.

"Grandpa, do you think my older sister is right?" Little Tian looked up at Grandpa Lei.

Grandpa Lei patted Xiao Tiantian's head.

"Of course you're right! Everything your older sister says makes sense."

Grandpa trusts your eldest sister the most; entrusting you to your father is a hundred times better!

Little Tian kept giggling.

"I knew it! My older sister is the best! She's not being this nice to me because of money!"

Grandpa Lei chuckled twice, then hugged Xiao Tiantian tightly in his arms and showered him with affection.

"Grandpa's good grandson! Our Tiantian will definitely be successful in the future. With such a good older sister, how could he not be successful!"

The grandfather and grandson were chatting happily in the study.

Grandpa Lei was talking to Xiao Tiantian while thinking about his own thoughts.

Even an ordinary girl in a small county knows that for a family to thrive, every member must contribute.

And what about the Lei family now...?

Haha, aside from the eldest grandson who's busy working outside, and the eldest son who's constantly battling wits with those officials, what about the rest of them...?

They're all resting on their laurels and living off their past achievements.

The more Grandpa Lei thought about it, the more suffocated he felt.

It's Chinese New Year, and more people are coming to visit, but no matter who comes, they all have their own ulterior motives.

My daughter is getting older and is unhappy with her current job. She wants to switch to a better, easier one...

My son has been working down there for two years and wants to transfer to Shanghai. Could you please help me make a couple of phone calls?

The child's school is no good; could the Lei family help us transfer him to a better school?

In short, it's all sorts of things.

At first, Grandpa Lei could still smile and exchange a few words with them, but later... Grandpa Lei stopped seeing anyone altogether, spending his days talking to his eldest son and playing with his grandson...

Not long after Grandpa Lei had been playing with Xiao Tiantian, Lei Jingwu arrived.

After sending Xiaotian and Gu Changqin to see the Gu family's patriarch, Lei Jingwu returned.

"Grandpa, Uncle San should be able to come back for New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow."

"Tian Mi..." Lei Jingwu looked at the old man of the Lei family.

"Didn't I find her a good family? What? Are you afraid your third uncle will cause trouble for me?" Old Master Lei retorted.
