Chapter 83: Chapter 82: Ideological Work

Xu Erhong didn’t think there was anything amiss and said to Xu Niannian, "Why not stay for a meal since you’re already here? Why so formal with your uncle?"

Xu Erhong truly adored his niece. As for Liu Guimei, she wasn’t particularly warm, but she didn’t have any ill intentions either.

Xu Niannian always considered herself good at judging people. When she and Jin Yu had pretended to be close, Liu Guimei visited her house, and her attitude was quite friendly at the time.

This sudden change must have another reason.

Such a short time had elapsed, and nothing unpleasant had occurred in the interim. The only thing that might have upset Liu Guimei, Xu Niannian guessed, was that her grandma had slipped her some money.

With that thought, Xu Niannian instantly understood Liu Guimei’s awkwardness.

The old lady did indeed favor her; Xu Niannian couldn’t deny that.

Now that the old lady was living with her aunt and others, in this day and age, it was common in the countryside for the money to be controlled by the mother-in-law.

Most likely, Liu Guimei had seen the old lady giving her money on the sly.

As a woman herself, Xu Niannian could somewhat understand Liu Guimei’s thoughts and didn’t blame her.

Everyone has moments of discontent.

To change the subject, Xu Niannian quickly said, "Oh, grandma, I bought a lot of things for you."

As she spoke, Xu Niannian lifted the cloth on the basket next to her, revealing several big and small packages inside.

On top was a bag of Malt Extract.

Liu Guimei happened to see it and her eyes widened. So many things?

In a moment, Xu Niannian had taken everything out of the basket and placed it on the table.

There was Malt Extract, milk powder, walnut powder, and also a bag of high-gluten flour weighing nearly twenty pounds.

Each item was high quality, which impressed Xu Erhong and his entire family.

Even the youngest, Xu Doudou, stared without blinking.

Xu Erhong was almost at a loss for words.

Goodness, such a lot of fine things!

He automatically ignored Xu Niannian’s mention that the items were bought for the old lady.

In the family, there’s no need to be so particular.

Just the bag of Malt Extract alone was a rarity, to say nothing of the milk and walnut powders, and so much high-gluten flour.

"Niannian ah, did you strike it rich?" Xu Erhong couldn’t help swallowing hard, goodness, so many fine things.

The old lady also looked bewilderedly at Xu Niannian.

Her hand extended, trembling slightly, "Baby Nian... this must have cost a pretty penny?"

Xu Niannian didn’t state the cost; telling the price when giving a gift was an impolite thing to do. "It wasn’t much, we’re all family, no need for formalities."

She smiled, taking the milk powder and handing it to Liu Guimei, "Aunt, here, this is for Doudou and Sisi. Make sure they drink this when you get home."

Liu Guimei held the can of milk powder, looking at Xu Niannian with an indecisive glance and lips quivering several times, but ultimately she didn’t say anything and just looked down, embarrassed.

Xu Niannian pretended not to understand her inner thoughts.

Xu Sisi had a simpler mind, and her eyes lit up when she heard Xu Niannian.

"Sister Niannian, you’re the best." She couldn’t resist jumping up from her stool and hugging Xu Niannian’s neck.

Xu Niannian pressed her lips together and smiled; she was indeed a girl easily contented.

Recovering from his shock, Xu Erhong scratched his head, "Niannian... with so many things, maybe you should take some back with you."

Xu Erhong was worried that the young girl, after earning money, wasn’t saving it but spending it all.

The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law, seeing her looking down with an obvious expression of guilt, and didn’t say much, but spoke to her naïve son instead.

"Why take it back? Isn’t it your niece’s competence to take care of our family now? Our Baby Nian doesn’t care for these little things; she can buy more, don’t fret about nothing. We’re all family here, and we should look out for each other."
