Chapter 593: Chapter 593 Shu Wen (9)_1

There were old people, adults, and of course, the most numerous were the children.

The second uncle and Wu Guoqing had also been coming every day recently, as they liked to watch the news broadcast and the weather forecast. After the Ruan Family bought the television, starting from the next day, they came daily to watch.

Occasionally, they would chat with Elder Shu, who, when he was not putting on airs, was very approachable. At least Wu Guoqing and the second uncle were full of praise for him, feeling that his insights were particularly profound and they enjoyed discussing the content of the news broadcast with him.

As for the children, they were waiting to watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." Because of this, there was recently a martial arts craze in the village, with the boys binding their completed homework books with tape to form swords, always looking to duel each other at any opportunity.

Ruan Wei had torn up a book to make a sword the day before. Although it was a book he had already studied, books were still highly valued by families at the time. Even if one had already learned from them, they would be well-preserved. Ruan Wei had torn up a book from the last term, which so infuriated Ruan Chi that he gave him a fierce beating.

The Ruanlin Family hadn’t finished cleaning up yet. Seeing that the second uncle had already come over to wait for the news broadcast, she hurriedly turned on the television.

Those who were watching the television for the first time, even if it was just the news, found it very interesting. Those who had already watched for several days were uninterested and clustered together to play.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t like watching the news either and was taken by Shu Wen to Shu Jiao’s room to chat intimately. When Xiu Xi saw there was no way to join in, he went upstairs to practice his calligraphy.

The two sisters hadn’t seen each other for half a year and had endless things to talk about. Ruan Jiaojiao snuggled in Shu Wen’s arms, listening while eating the sunflower seeds Shu Wen peeled for her.

"Don’t feed her too much, she still needs to drink goat milk later," Shu Jiao frowned and said, seeing Shu Wen continuously stuffing Ruan Jiaojiao’s little mouth.

Upon hearing this, Shu Wen laughed and said, "No wonder our Jiaojiao has a fragrant smell on her. It turns out to be the scent of milk." Saying this, she leaned in and sniffed Ruan Jiaojiao’s neck, looking intoxicated, her breath tickling Ruan Jiaojiao’s neck and causing her to laugh nonstop.

But speaking of this goat milk, Shu Wen remembered a classmate whose family was involved in selling cow’s milk and said, "I heard that people in foreign countries all drink cow’s milk, and they all grow up so sturdy. Jiaojiao has a weak constitution; we should also have her drink some. I’ve got a classmate whose family is in that business. When I go back to school, I’ll send some over for Jiaojiao."

In that era, apart from goat milk, most people still drank malted milk. Cow’s milk was truly rare and not easily accessible.

"If it’s not too much trouble, then do it," Shu Jiao agreed without refusal. Ruan Jiaojiao had been in good health when she was born and because Shu Jiao had a good postnatal recovery, though sometimes her breast milk was insufficient, she never let Ruan Jiaojiao go hungry and always fed her the best she could.

However, Ruan Jiaojiao’s health had not been as good since she fell into the ditch and became gravely ill after that incident. Then there was the fall down the stairs where she had bled so much... It was fortunate that her family loved and doted on her, and after being discharged from the hospital, she hadn’t fallen ill again.

"Okay, I’ll send more over when the time comes. You should drink some too, Auntie. You all should," Shu Wen nodded, looking at the well-behaved Ruan Jiaojiao in her arms, simply loving her too much. She kept pinching her little cheeks and kissing her.

Then they talked about Ruan Jiaojiao’s godmother, Zhao Li.

Shu Jiao and Shu Wen had exchanged a couple of letters mentioning Zhao Li. While Shu Jiao was curious about this woman, she also understood her affection for Ruan Jiaojiao.

She felt that her niece was just too endearing. She herself didn’t know why, but she had taken a special liking to her from the moment she saw her photograph and upon meeting her in person, it was even more a case of wanting to cherish her with all her heart.
