Chapter 198: Chapter 200 Auntie Jiang Likes

Throughout the whole commune, it was rare to see such a grand celebration, not just for a four-year-old’s birthday, but even for a wedding.

The sight of meat filled everyone in the commune with joy, and the courtyard was abuzz with happiness.

Everyone ate till they were round and their mouths glistening with oil. Only after they helped with cleaning up the dishes did they happily head home.

In those days, these banquets usually consisted of only one lunch meal, as everyone was barely getting by.

But having a meal with meat was enough to keep the people of the commune satisfied for days.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Old Lady Li remained seated in the yard, seemingly unaware that it was time to leave.

Smacking her lips, she savored the aftertaste of the meal, thinking: If there’s a chance to have such good food, of course, I’d try to have as much as possible!

Seeing her, Ma Xiulian frowned and scolded, "What’s the matter? Trying to make me drive you away with a broom?"

Old Lady Li was looking to butter her up when she saw Ma Xiulian already reaching for a broom. She immediately jumped up from her bench, "No need for you to send us off, we better go then."

She quickly hurried her grandsons away, afraid that if they were too slow, Ma Xiulian might chase them away with her broom.

Her face was still aching from the earlier beating!

Watching her fleeing in a rush, Zhou Zhaodi wore an expression of contempt: this old woman doesn’t even know her weight, and she dares to take advantage of my mother-in-law!

Didn’t she see how my clever self was tamed by mother-in-law?

Turning her head, she turned to Ma Xiulian and said affectionately, "Mom, you should rest. We can handle the rest of the work."

In the evening, Jiang Manyun returned with Chen Honghong, carrying a large bag of bread from a state-run restaurant.

They’ve even bought one for each person at Chen’s. Even one-year-old Liuni got one.

They were delighted. They hadn’t eaten white bread like this in three or four months!

Especially the girls, they were the ones who got the least to eat every time the family made dumplings or noodle soup with white flour.

Seeing their joy, Jiang Manyun gently patted the head of the nearest girl, Chen Erni, noting how hard life was for girls in these challenging times.

But she believed everything would gradually improve.

Jiang Manyun’s action was gentle, her palm soft and warm. This made Chen Erni stunned first, then she broke into a bright smile.

Auntie Jiang likes her!

She’s so rich, always has tinned beef and White Rabbit candies at home.

If she can win Auntie Jiang’s favor, will she also be able to eat candies and beef every day like Guibao?!

Her face turned red at the thought, she even wanted to sweetly call out to ’Auntie Jiang’ when she heard Jiang Manyun say, "Grandma, there are two meat dumplings in there for Guibao."

Thus, Erni’s smile froze, and her rosy cheeks lost their color.

Then Chen Honghong, carrying bags of stuff, added, "Mom, these are bananas my mother-in-law asked me to bring. Last time, Xiuwen’s second sister brought a whole box. The fabric is for Guibao, bought from a friend who works at a textile factory. The fabric is thin, perfect for summer wear."

Not only did Chen Erni’s smile disappear at this, but she also couldn’t help showing a bit of dissatisfaction and frustration.

It’s always Guibao!!
