Chapter 225 - 217: Happiness
Jianguo has also changed a lot over the years, not only has he grown a lot taller, but he has also become more confident and resolute. He and his two younger brothers have made a fair amount of money in the past two years, earning two to three hundred yuan a year by selling bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, tea, and medicinal herbs collected from the mountains, all handled by He Xuewen.
Of course, this is because He Xuewen doesn’t take any cut from the earnings, something Jianguo is well-aware of and grateful for. He intends to repay this kindness when he achieves something in the future.
Therefore, besides paying for his own and Weiguo’s school fees, Jianguo manages to save quite a bit each year. So far, he has nearly six hundred yuan, which he keeps with Granny Zhao. Even Tian Manlan doesn’t know he has such a large sum of money, let alone Shou Jizu.
Weiguo is now nine years old and is in the second grade at Huangkeng Village Elementary School. He also studies at home like Jianguo. Initially, Jianguo didn’t agree with this, but seeing that his brother learned effortlessly and even more easily than him, he agreed. It must be said, Tian Manlan’s three sons are all extremely intelligent geniuses.
Little Baoguo has also grown up to be a little adult. At six years old, Baoguo, much like his older brothers, is very sensible. However, as he grew older, Baoguo was no longer as adorable as when he was younger, and although he was still very close to Tian Sisi, he no longer let her pinch his chubby cheeks.
This lifetime, the three brothers have all overcome the inferiority, sensitivity, and frailty of their past lives. Each one is healthy, cheerful, confident, and strong; Tian Sisi believed that they would definitely go further and steadier than in their previous lives!
After lunch, Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi went back home. Before leaving, Tian Xinhua specially prepared a red envelope for Tian Manlan as a gift for the little brother’s full-month celebration, as he was sure he wouldn’t be home during the child’s celebration.
Tian Manlan really didn’t want to accept her nephew’s money and strongly refused. However, as always, she couldn’t win against Tian Xinhua. Additionally, under Mr. Yun’s tutelage over the past three years, Tian Xinhua’s presence has become more imposing which subtly convinces people. It didn’t take long before the red envelope ended up in Tian Manlan’s pocket.
After dropping Tian Sisi home, Tian Xinhua went to his own house. Seeing that there were many people at home, Tian Sisi didn’t enter and went directly to the He Family instead, mainly to avoid encountering Xu Qianwen and her daughter, to save herself from getting upset without a chance to retort.
He Xuewen had already returned home, and he brought along Niu Sanxian, the chubby uncle, who still looked the same, neither aging nor slimming down, always wearing a cheerful smile as if there were no troubles in his life.
