Chapter 233 Lantern Festival
The meat buns were ready, Wuya took two and sent them to the old house.
Soon the girl came back, and said happily: "Eldest sister, if grandma doesn't give Sanli meat buns, Sanli will make a fuss. The second aunt not only didn't scold Sanli, but also blamed grandma for being greedy and grabbing food from children because of her age." .”
"Second Aunt said it in front of you?"
Wu Ya shook her head and said: "No, I only said it after I left the house. But I didn't leave and just listened at the door. Sister, you won the bet with grandma."
If the eldest sister loses, their family will give three times more pension money and food, and they will be hungry by then, so the sisters have been paying close attention to the movements of the old house these days.
Tian Shao touched her head and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat meat buns."
I had a hearty meal at noon. In addition to meat buns, there were also blood duck, fried cabbage with oil residue, and braised tofu. But Li Guihua lived carefully, and the blood duck was only served one-third full.
After eating, Tian Shao put sixteen white and fat meat buns into the basket.
Li Guihua immediately grabbed him and asked, "Big girl, where are you going with so many meat buns?"
Tian Shao said: "I'll go to Principal Xin and tell him about Liu Ya's going to school."
In addition to the meat buns, Tian Shao also took a bottle of wine. Originally, I wanted to take Liu Ya to go with me, but Wu Ya didn't want to go, nor did the child. The two twins acted exactly the same. In the end, Wu Ya took Liu Ya with him after being threatened by Tian Shao.
Although Li Guihua felt distressed, she did not stop it. Although she lived carefully, she knew that if it weren't for the care of the old man Zhu Yuxiu and Principal Xin, her daughter would not be where she is today.
Principal Xin wished that all these children could enter the school. He took the Liuya test and found that the child was very happy to answer fluently. He immediately agreed to let Liuya enter the first grade. But things, he is determined not to.
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Principal, if you hadn't persuaded my mother back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. Principal, my ability is limited and I can't give you too good things. You must accept this little kindness."
"I'll take the buns, but you take the wine back."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Principal, this wine was a welfare gift from our factory last year, and it didn't cost any money. Principal, my Liuya suffered a lot in that house before, I hope you can take care of her more after she enters school. "
Principal Xin also heard about Liuya. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to Liuya's situation. If there is anything wrong, I will explain her. It's just that you sent too much. In this case, I will charge you two. One, you take the rest back."
Tian Shao didn't want any baskets, so she took her two younger sisters and left.
Principal Xin looked at the backs of the three sisters, dumbfounded.
Principal Xin's wife gave each of her four children a meat bun, and then said with a smile on her face, "I'll make two appetizers tonight, and I'll call dad and elder brother over for a drink."
"Listen to you." Principal Xin responded with a smile. He has two hobbies in his life, one is reading and the other is drinking. It's just that the wine and gold are expensive and can't be used on weekdays, and today I can drink to my heart's content because of the light of the students.
The customs of the Lantern Festival are activities such as viewing lanterns, eating glutinous rice balls, guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks. There is no such condition for setting off fireworks now, so Tian Shao took a few younger sisters to make lanterns, one for each of them.
Li Guihua looked at the lanterns they made. They were too ugly to look at. She said, "My uncle, your uncle knows how to make lanterns. Next time he comes out, you can learn from him."
Tian Shao just wanted to take a few younger sisters to play, so as not to stay at home and have nothing to do: "Father, you can learn from uncle, and you can make lanterns for us after next year's Lantern Festival."
Tian Dalin cheerfully agreed.
If you don’t cook at night, each person will have a bowl of glutinous rice balls. If you are not full, there will be meat buns. After eating, Tian Shao wrote riddles on their lanterns for them to guess.
The words on the Erya lanterns read 'five brothers, living together, with different names and uneven heights'.
Erya touched her head and asked, "Sister, what is this?"
Liuya thought for a while and asked: "Sister, is this riddle a word or a thing?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Tian Shao smiled and said: "It's a thing, and everyone will have this thing."
Erya and Sanya looked at each other and fell into deep thought. Siya stared at the toffee in Tian Shao's hand. Fifth Ya scratched her head and gave up: "Sister, I can't think of it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Erya and Sanya also expressed that they couldn't figure it out.
Liuya hesitated for a while and asked: "Sister, is it your finger?"
Tian Shao gave Liuya a toffee, smiled and said, "You guessed right, it's your fingers. Take a look, are your five fingers uneven in height?"
Siya was confused: "They have the same name, they are both called fingers!"
Tian Shao popularized the names of the five fingers for them. It was also this time that she discovered that the younger sisters didn't know some common sense things. Alas, it is a long way to go to teach them to be talented.
Sanya recited the riddle on the lantern: "I have no choice but to surrender myself? Sister, what is this?"
"This is a word, can you guess what it is?"
Now the five people couldn't figure it out, and finally Tian Shao revealed the answer: "It's closed, closed door."
The riddle of Siya and Wuya is a watermelon and a duck. At the end, Liuya's riddle was very interesting. She followed Wuya one by one by herself: "Who is your favorite person?"
"Yes, tell me who is your favorite?" Tian Shao asked with a smile.
Erya said first: "My favorite is my parents."
Sanya and Erya have the same idea.
Si Ya said without even thinking about it: "My favorite is my eldest sister. Since my eldest sister went to work in the city, I can not only eat meat often, but also eat toffee and biscuits every now and then."
Tian Shao thought secretly, it's you, a snack.
Wuya also said that the ones she loves the most are her parents. With the support of Tian Xiaocao's parents, she felt that Tian Dalin and Li Guihua were the best.
Liuya struggled for a while, and said, "I, I like Fifth Sister the most."
It is also because of Wuya's company day and night that she feels at ease and integrated into this family in the fastest time.
Tian Shao nodded and said, "Do you want to know who the eldest sister loves the most?"
Five people asked in unison: "Who is it?"
Tian Shao pointed to his nose, and said with a smile: "My eldest sister loves me the most. This person, you can only love others better if you love yourself first."
All five people shook their heads, expressing their incomprehension.
Tian Shao glanced at Erya, and said, "It's okay if you don't understand, but you have to remember to love yourself first, like yourself, and be good to yourself."
Seeing their confused faces, Tian Shao said: "Like the eldest cousin, she doesn't love herself, and just because others say she can't give birth, she hates herself, wronged herself, and even gave up on herself. As a result, people in their early twenties seem to be in their thirties. How old are you?"
After a pause, she continued: "If it was me, I would beat him half to death before divorcing him. It will be the same for you in the future. If you dare to fight, you can beat him back. If you can't, tell us. Don't talk to me." Sister Damei knows how to cry when she is bullied, if you are like her, don't complain to me, I won't take care of it."
If a person cannot stand up by himself, no one else can help him.
