Good calculation! 4

  Tian Lu stared at Tian Wei with a puzzled face, "Sister, what are you smiling about for no reason?"

  "What's it to you?" Tian Wei just smiled, okay, she admitted, she was being petty, and arguing with a little kid about what, she wasn't just smiling at Tian Mei Mei, but suddenly thought of her own childhood personality, really just couldn't stand Tian Mei Mei all day, everything had to be done in opposition to her.

  "Stinky sister." Tian Lu pouted and hummed, then ran inside to the people, immediately changing her expression, "Dad, Mom, we're back from school~"

  "After washing hands and having dinner." Li Shufen helped the two children with their schoolbags, took them over and put them aside, weighed them down, smiled, "Your schoolbags are getting heavier and heavier, and there are more and more books. Fortunately, the distance to school is not far away. If it were like other villages, with two schools merged together, people in this village would have to walk for two hours on mountain roads to attend classes on the other side, that would be really hard work."

  "If that's the case, I'd rather not go to school at all! It's so tiring, getting up early and going to bed late. It's even more exhausting than farming!" Tianlu chuckled and followed closely behind Tianyuan, washing her hands and taking a bowl and chopsticks before sitting down. Suddenly, she asked, "Dad, Mom, I heard my sister say that this weekend, our house might have some important guests coming over?"

  "Yes, but I don't know which leader is coming. Thinking about it makes me a bit nervous, I don't know what to prepare." Tian Biao responded with a sentence, waited for a while, and suddenly thought of something, "Yuan Yuan, how did you know they're coming back on the weekend? Don't leaders usually not work on weekends?"

  "On the weekend, leaders all have other arrangements, I'm just guessing, to show more closeness to the people, isn't it better to come on the weekend?" Tianyuan was really guessing and wasn't sure, she couldn't even guess who this leader was, roughly estimating that he was a certain leader from the Public Security Bureau.

  "No matter what, we should prepare at home, right? Cigarettes, wine, fruit, all need to be stocked up. And we have to buy some decent tea leaves that can be served to guests. Otherwise, when they arrive, we'll have nothing to offer, and that would be embarrassing." Li Shufen chimed in, "We must remember, or else tomorrow when we go into town, we'll forget again."

  "Dad, Mom, don't buy anything! Don't even buy tea leaves. We should just be like we usually are. You've spent so much money, and it's all hard-earned cash. When those reporters come, they'll take one look and think, 'Wow, they're living a great life, they must be really rich!' What's the point of them coming to visit us then? We should just clean up our house and that's it. The poorer we appear, the better!" But in reality, this family was already very poor. If not for the compensation money, they would have been deep in debt, unable to even afford the supplements they bought for Tian Biao.

  "Ah? Will that do? Won't the leader say we're not taking him seriously?" Tian Biao hesitated for a moment, "It's still better to be prepared, just in case."

  "Dad, I'm not joking about this, are you prepared to take responsibility if things go wrong? Who can afford to take the blame? Tianyuan let out a silent sigh, "Dad, listen to me, it's better not to stir up trouble, if we really mess things up, our family will be finished. Where can you find leaders who come to offer condolences with money and also enjoy good food, drink, and tea in rural households? If that's the case, isn't it just a show?"
