Chapter 186: Chapter 188: Still Warm

"This is the bear paw that Guibao promised to Manager Gu. It’s still hot. You are all invited for dinner tomorrow night."

Through the cloth bag, Jiang Manyun could feel the heat from within. She smiled slightly and nodded: "Alright, then we’ll go back."

Although the commune also sent half a bear’s meat to the factory, shared among many, each person would only get a taste of it.

Taking home this bear paw, it would be enough to satisfy the cravings of a family of three.

Gu Tingyun was also saying goodbye to the small hamster, "Guibao, I’m leaving."

However, Helian Qiao’s heart and eyes were filled with nothing but the glittering dress which she responded half-heartedly with a couple of "uh-huh" sounds.

Gu, the young master who had guessed this response, calmly said goodbye to Grandma Chen.

"Alright, be careful on the road."

Ma Xiulian watched the mother and son walk away with a bright smile. She turned around to see that the dress in the cloth bag had been completely pulled out by her little granddaughter.

"So much glitter!"

Looking at the multitude of sequins adorning the dress, Helian Qiao was so delighted that her chubby little face was all flushed.

Although this glitter wasn’t even a hundredth of a percent as good as her dragon scales, under the current circumstances, the Little Princess was already very content.

Wearing it must be supremely intimidating!

Thinking this, her little milk voice quivered in excitement: "Granny, I want to wear this dress tomorrow!"

Ma Xiulian naturally nodded in agreement.

The other little girls also gathered around, coveting the new dress in Helian Qiao’s hand.

A fluffy princess dress in tender yellow, a style they had never seen before, just seemed so foreign yet beautiful.

Zhou Zhaodi couldn’t help but lament: "I bet this dress costs as much as a pair of leather shoes."

After the department store was built, she had gone to see it once. The most expensive and beautiful children’s clothes there were not as beautiful as the dress Jiang Manyun gave.

The other members of the old Chen family gasped: all together, it’d come to forty or fifty yuan?!

For their large family, they only made two or three hundred yuan a year!

Erni was even more envious and her eyes turned red in an instant. She had never worn a new piece of clothing from childhood, but Guibao got to wear such an expensive and beautiful dress!

Why does everyone like her and covet her so much?!

Grandpa and Grandma were like that, and so were Gu Tingyun and Aunt Jiang!

Li Chunhua though felt Jiang Manyun was wasting money by spending forty to fifty yuan on clothes and shoes. It would be better to just give cash directly!

Pork was only a few dimes per jin, and forty yuan could buy sixty to seventy jin!

Sixty to seventy jin of pork, even if you ate it every meal for days on end, it would be enough for half a month!

When Jiang Manyun got back to the camp, she divided the bear paw into three parts and put them in three bowls.

Seeing her son not moving his chopsticks, she casually asked, "Why aren’t you eating?"

"I’m saving it for Guibao to eat tomorrow," Gu Tingyun honestly replied.

A mix of sentiment and amusement ran through Jiang Manyun; the lad was so concerned about his sister, he would probably spoil his future wife terribly.

With these thoughts in her mind, she took a big bite of the bear’s paw and then put the rest in her son’s bowl. "Then you eat mine."

Seeing the half-eaten bear paw, the young master Gu was silent for a moment, then said, "Mom, I already ate at Guibao’s house."

Jiang Manyun raised an eyebrow: "What are you saying, you’re repulsed by your mom?"

So, Master Gu had no choice but to accept this heavy dose of motherly love.

Looking at his wife and child by his side, a smile appeared on Gu Qingshan’s face: "Wife, you don’t know how fearless that little girl Guibao is!"
