Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 119: Indifferent

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Indifferent

It was just right; her man had officially retired, and they could make up for the lack of parental love their child had experienced while he was still young.

Chen Honghong didn’t know what was going on in her mind. After uttering a sigh of "The old man is really cultured," she handed several packs of oil-paper to Gu Tingyun with a warm smile and said, "Here you go, Comrade Gu."

Then she looked at her little niece, trying to lure her home with delicious food, "Guibao, how about staying at your aunt’s house for a few days? Your aunt will cook braised pork for you every day."

However, Helian Qiao shook her head and said seriously, "No, I have to bring some meat buns home for grandma."

Chen Honghong wanted to coax her a little more, but other customers came into the co-op, "Comrade, what do you sell here?"

A young woman, who was obviously from the countryside based on her dress and appearance, stood at the door of the co-op, peeking inside somewhat nervously.

Another shop assistant immediately made a disdainful face, "Can’t you see for yourself?"

At that time, working in the co-op was a secure job with a steady income, and the products were in high demand, so there was no sense of competition among the shop assistants to provide great customer service.

Nevertheless, Chen Honghong greeted the woman warmly, "Comrade, do come in and take a look. We sell grains, oils, side dishes, and other daily necessities here."

After watching for a while, Jiang Manyun said, "Comrade Chen, I will take Guibao home first."

Chen Honghong was busy and couldn’t leave, so she could only nod her head, "Alright, thanks, Comrade Jiang. Guibao, when you get home, tell your grandma that I will visit when I have a day off."

Helian Qiao softly uttered a "hmm" and hopped on the bike, ready to go home with her bounty.

Not long after, Chen Honghong warmly saw off the young woman who had purchased two pounds of soy sauce, two pounds of salt, and two pounds of kerosene.

The other sales assistant covered her nose and fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan, "Honghong, why are you always so friendly to these country bumpkins? They always smell so bad!"

She wasn’t entirely wrong; the young woman did smell of sweat.

Chen Honghong laughed and said, "It’s the middle of a hot day, and she’s walked a long way from the country into the city. Of course, she’s going to sweat a lot. Besides, I came from the countryside myself, how can I look down on country people?"

The sales assistant responded with a sense of superiority, "But you’re different now. You’ve married into the city, you’re a city person now, and you get to have rationed foods. You’re nothing like those country people who can only forage for food on the ground."

This wasn’t the first time Chen Honghong had heard comments like these, about rural people being uneducated, rude and unclean.

However, each time she heard such statements, she was sincerely grateful that her mother had insisted on sending her to complete middle school, otherwise she would also be foraging for food in the fields.

She decided on the spot to elevate the academic progress her two sons when she got home, ensuring they at least completed high school and worked in a factory!

She would also bring up to her niece’s mother the idea of sending her to the city to study when she was older.

"Achoo!"

While riding on the bicycle, enjoying the refreshing breeze, Helian Qiao suddenly sneezed, which instantly made Jiang Manyun nervous, "Guibao, is the wind in front too strong? Tingyun, switch places with Guibao."

Helian Qiao rubbed her nose and replied in her baby-like voice, "The wind is not strong, just my nose feels itchy."

Jiang Manyun still insisted on the two children switching their seats on the bike.
