Tian Xiaoman couldn't figure out anything, so she could only comfort Shi Tou and asked him to let her know if anything happened tonight.

Although Tian Xiaoman may not be able to decipher the meaning of his elder brother's predictions in dreams every time, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. One person's shortcomings are better than two people's strengths.

Mr. Zhao and his grandfather came over after breakfast. They came with something in their hands. Mr. Zhao was holding a bag of tea and a jar of rice wine.

Zhao Xiaoshu brought a set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand. This set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone was not particularly valuable. It was the kind that ordinary beginners could use, and it only cost a few hundred coins a set.

But even the most common writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone are very expensive for ordinary farmers.

Zhao Xiaoshu knew that no one in the Tian family was studying in school, but he had seen Tian Xiaoman drawing on the ground with a branch before, but he didn't know what he was writing. He thought that he didn't have any good gifts to give, so he might as well give a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Next time Tian Xiaoman wanted to write, he wouldn't have to use a branch to write and draw on the ground.

Tian Danian was quite polite when the Zhao family came with gifts.

His original intention was not to covet these things; he just wanted the two of them to celebrate the New Year with his family.

Now that people were so polite, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Wang was also feeling nervous. She didn't expect that Mr. Zhao had brought something with him. So should she tell him what she was planning to do or not?

She looked at her man and saw Tian Danian nodded at her silently. Wang finally felt relieved.

Since the child's father has agreed, I must talk to Mr. Zhao about it when I have time later.

But when Wang was busy, she had no time to spare. She was busy almost from morning to night and never had a moment to spare.

Not only her, but also his two daughters and youngest son were ordered around by him - sometimes to scoop rice, sometimes to wash vegetables, sometimes to go to the cellar to get meat, and sometimes to carry firewood.

In short, everyone in the kitchen was busy.

Mr. Zhao and his grandson Zhao Xiaoshu took the initiative to take on the task of writing couplets and the word "Fu" for the Tian family.

This was something the old man had agreed on with Tian Danian several days ago. In previous years, Tian Danian would have spent a few cents to buy ready-made couplets in the county town and then pasted them up. Now that Old Man Zhao had asked for it, he could save the time of going to the county town to buy couplets.

Tian Danian had seen Mr. Zhao's calligraphy before. Although he couldn't figure out what was special about it, he could still tell whether it was beautiful or not.

Even Zhao Xiaoshu's handwriting was very powerful, much better than those in his family who could not even read.

Tian Xiaoman, who finally didn't have to wash vegetables anymore, would go up to Grandpa Zhao whenever she had time and watch Grandpa Zhao and his father write couplets.

No wonder his father praised Zhao Xiaoshu's handwriting. In Tian Xiaoman's opinion, the handwriting of these two men is as good as each other.

There is an old saying that handwriting reflects the character of the person, and there is nothing wrong with this.

Mr. Zhao's handwriting is standard, upright and clear.

Zhao Xiaoshu's handwriting is neat yet also a bit free and easy, which shows that he is a man of firm mind and free and easy nature.

"Little sister——"

Mu Tou, who had just gotten rid of his mother's orders, saw Tian Xiaoman watching the fun here and hurried over.

Tian Xiaoman felt that her third brother's smile had a deep meaning, and the way he looked at her made her feel like she was a popular commodity.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?"

The smile on Mu Tou's face deepened. "Nothing! Little sister, I just want to ask you, didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to make some special candied haws? Why is it gone now?"

Tian Xiaoman suddenly realized that it seemed that his third brother, a foodie by nature, had not changed.

Yes! She did say that, and that was when Jin Duoduo came.

Among the New Year gifts that Jin Wanguan prepared for his family, there were actually some fruits that were hard to find at this time of year.

When seeing these fruits, Tian Xiaoman immediately said that if these fruits were made into special candied haws, they would definitely be delicious.

At that time, she just said it casually and forgot about it. She never thought that her third brother, who was a foodie by nature, actually remembered it.

"Want to eat?"

Mu Tou nodded with bright eyes, "I want to eat it, little sister, you see - today is worse than tomorrow, how about we do it right away?"

Tian Xiaoman was surprised. She didn't expect that her third brother could actually speak a few idioms.

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day? Who did you learn this from?"

"Hehe——" Mu Tou smiled and secretly pointed at Mr. Zhao. "Grandpa Zhao just said that I am learning and applying it now!"

Tian Xiaoman suddenly realized that it seems that having a scholar around can really influence other people.

If I send my third and eldest brothers to school - uh, aren't they a little too old?

If Mu Tou knew that because he learned a phrase from Mr. Zhao, his younger sister would want to send him to school, he would definitely regret saying that.

What Mu Tou feared most in his life was sitting in the school, shaking his head and reciting something like "zhihuzheya" along with the teacher.

When he was young, he stayed in school for a while and was often punished by the teacher with a ruler. As a result, he now has an acquired psychological trauma towards school and teachers.

"Okay, but you have to convince mom. It takes a lot of sugar to make special candied haws."

Mu Tou patted his chest and assured him again and again, "Little sister, don't worry. I just helped mother with a lot of work, so it's no problem for me to ask for some sugar. Then let's split up. I'll go ask mother for sugar, and little sister, what fruits are you going to prepare for the special candied haws?"

Tian Xiaoman was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. You have already said what I want to say. What else can I say?

Mu Tou ran away smiling, and Tian Xiaoman had a faint smile on her face. She had now completely integrated into this family, and she also regarded herself as the real Tian Xiaoman. She only hoped that such days could last forever.

The Tian family was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, but they didn't know that two sneaky figures sneaked into the village under the cover of darkness.
