Chapter 269 A Real Family
"Tian Tian, do you think this is good? Is it appropriate?" Yao Shuli looked at Tian Tian.
The more Xiaotian thought about it, the better she felt her idea was.
"How is it bad? How is it unsuitable? I think it's perfect!"
This is absolutely the best thing ever, isn't it, Brother Shuli? Think about it, our eldest sister is the best eldest sister ever. So many people have introduced her to potential partners, but she hasn't liked any of them for our sake. She's even sacrificed her own happiness for us, and all she wants is for us to be happy. How can you bear to see her not doing well?
No way! We have to make sure my older sister has a good life, right?
"So, we must find someone we know well for our eldest sister, that's the only way we can do right by her." Xiao Tiantian pulled Yao Shuli aside and continued to share her thoughts.
Yao Shuli didn't say anything, just stared at Xiao Tiantian.
Seeing that Yao Shuli was not speaking, Xiao Tiantian quickly explained it to Yao Shuli in more detail.
“My aunt introduced me to someone from the grain bureau. She said he was honest and reliable, and suggested that my older sister take a look at him. If he seemed suitable, we could start dating. She also knew that my older sister had to take care of her younger siblings and wouldn't be getting married for the time being.”
Didn't you see, sister? We sneaked off to see that person.
That person is honest and reliable, but his family isn't well-off!
The salary at the grain bureau is not low, and the benefits are good, but look at what he's wearing... isn't it much worse than what the others are wearing?
At that time, I said that he must have younger brothers and sisters to support. Later, my aunt inquired carefully and found out that was indeed the case.
However, that man's younger siblings all lived in the countryside, and his parents were forcing him to support them. Xiao Tiantian's expression was extremely serious.
Yao Shuli hummed in agreement.
“Aunt didn’t know at first. That person kept it from her. Didn’t Aunt ask her herself later? This can’t be blamed on Aunt. Didn’t Aunt regret it too?” Yao Shuli said a few nice words to Aunt Yao.
“I didn’t say I blamed my aunt! I know she meant well.”
That guy hid it himself, afraid that his older sister wouldn't like him. Didn't his aunt later buy clothes for his older sister as an apology?
What I mean is that those people outside are unreliable; it's better to find someone you know well.
Look at my older brother, we know each other inside and out, right?
Even if you don't know, I do! Even if I don't know now, I can go back and ask my other brothers!
See, my older brother is the first to have money! Although I don't know how much money my older brother earns now, I do know that he never looks at the price when he buys things.
Buy whatever you want! Sometimes I even buy a lot of things from overseas!
"The money in my brother's drawer...it's all stacked up! So much!" Xiao Tiantian said in a low voice.
Yao Shuli's eyes widened in surprise.
"Stacks and stacks? How much would that cost?!"
"This thick stack of bills, all bundled together, all 'big unity' (a unit of currency), is his room only accessible to me. I saw it when I was looking for something in his drawer."
I didn't tell anyone else, but I told you!
So, if my older sister marries my older brother, she'll definitely have a good life.
Back then, all of the older brother's money belonged to the older sister. She could buy whatever she wanted and spend it however she wanted.
Like Xiaoman, I buy every color of clothes and bags and keep them at home, which makes me happy.
Also, my older brother is good-looking. When we were in Shanghai, many older women liked him.
But my older brother is different from my cousin. My cousin has dated many people, but my older brother hasn't dated anyone.
Therefore, I think my older brother is the most suitable.
"Wait a minute, I'll get out our old notebook..." Xiao Tiantian said as she kicked the blanket off her and got out of bed to get her pinyin notebook.
The two brothers took their pinyin notebook to bed and began reading it, heads close together.
The pinyin notebook, which had been in use for two years, was already worn out. Over the past two years, Xiaotian and Yao Shuli had written a lot in this pinyin notebook.
Besides the initial requirements—being rich, good-looking, having a good personality, being honest, unlike Zhang Tiesheng, and being able to have children—quite a few more were added.
For example, when a light bulb in the house is broken, Yao Shula mutters that changing the light bulb requires standing on a table and a chair. Xiao Tiantian immediately adds that he should know how to change light bulbs, change fuses, and fix things in the house when they break.
Yao Shula loves to eat the yolks of duck eggs, and always finishes the egg whites last.
Little Tian Tian would only eat the egg whites of duck eggs and not like the yolks.
For example, Yao Shula said that Yao Shuxin sleeps quietly, doesn't snore or grind her teeth, and it's very comfortable to sleep in the same bed with Yao Shuxin; you can sleep soundly until dawn.
Xiao Tiantian immediately added another condition: she doesn't snore or grind her teeth while sleeping...
In short, Xiaotian and Yao Shuli have written down a total of eighteen requirements over the past two years.
If Yao Shula saw these eighteen criteria for finding a partner, her first thought would definitely be, "Forget it, being single for life is fine too."
The two looked at each point one by one, with Xiao Tiantian analyzing each one for Yao Shuli.
"Money is the minimum requirement! If my older brother isn't rich, then nobody is, except for my cousin."
He's good-looking, so this one also counts! Everyone says my older brother is even better looking than movie actors!
There's no doubt about his good personality. My older brother has come here so many times, have you ever seen him lose his temper?
Honestly... well, my older brother is very honest; he didn't date as many people as my cousin.
Having children... that's not acceptable, but didn't I already say? If my older sister wants a child, I'll be her son.
As for the rest...
My older brother is rich, so he can hire people to do these chores at home.
Oh, I slept in the same bed with my older brother. He doesn't snore or grind his teeth when he sleeps, so he definitely won't disturb my older sister's sleep.
After saying this, Xiao Tiantian looked at Yao Shuli.
"Brother Shuli, do you think what I said makes sense? Isn't it a good idea to find my older brother to be my sister's boyfriend?" Xiao Tiantian asked cautiously.
Yao Shuli pursed her lips for a while before finally humming in agreement.
"Brother Jingwu is indeed very good!"
only……"
"But what? What do you think is wrong with my older brother? I'll ask him to change it next time he comes!" Xiao Tiantian's eyes lit up immediately.
If Shulige supports it, the chances of success will be much greater.
"But... what exactly is your purpose in being so keen on getting my older sister and your older brother to date?"
"Let me make this clear first, I know you're definitely doing this for your older sister's good, but... you must have your own selfish motives too, right?" Yao Shuli stared at Xiao Tiantian.
Xiao Tiantian chuckled a few times and moved closer to Yao Shuli.
"If the eldest sister and eldest brother start dating, then they become family."
Then we'll truly become a family!
Back then, whether we were surnamed Yao or Lei, we were a genuine, authentic, and truly good family, and no one could say a word against us.” Little Tiantian looked at Yao Shuli very seriously.
"Just because of this?" Yao Shuli was a little incredulous.
"That's why!" Xiao Tiantian said with certainty.
