Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Gradually Warming Heart
Yu Cheng dismissed the notion, “I’m in good health, definitely not as frail as you, little girl.”
Though he spoke dismissively, he stood up and easily leaped down from the two-meter-high haystack, landing solidly and steadily on the ground.
Jiang Mianmian watched his suave and agile movements, then glanced at the tall haystack and finally at his long legs, feeling an intense envy in her heart.
She too wanted a pair of such long legs!
Seeing her gaze fixed on him, Yu Cheng felt flattered by her admiration and lightly patted her hat, “Let’s go, inside.”
Once inside, Jiang Mianmian immediately shed her bulky cotton-padded jacket and flopped down onto the kang bed like a bird returning to its nest, sighing with a face full of bliss, “So comfortable~”
Yu Cheng also laid down in silence next to her, and the warm breath instantly enveloped his cold body.
Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu just glanced over before returning to their conversation, “Brother Hai, are you really going to buy a sewing machine for the house?”
Even the cheapest sewing machine cost over a hundred yuan, and only the village chief’s family in their village had one.
Leaning against the wall, Jiang Changhai spoke with laid-back confidence, “Didn’t I secretly bring one back before? Since that thing isn’t used much throughout the year, we might as well just use it to make up the numbers.”
The sewing machine he had purchased had only been used twice in these few months and was now collecting dust under the bed.
“Brother Hai, you’re really clever, now we can use the sewing machine openly and honestly!”
Su Wanyu, hearing that they wouldn’t have to spend extra money and could legitimize the sewing machine, immediately hugged Jiang Changhai and gave him a kiss in her excitement.
After the kiss, she remembered Yu Cheng was still there and, feeling embarrassed, tried to pull away, only to be embraced tightly by Jiang Changhai.
Unfazed by any embarrassment and with his wife and daughter in his arms, he spoke with great magnanimity, “Wife, daughter, our family has money now. Tell me whatever you want, and I’ll buy it for you.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu cast aside her shyness and eagerly said, “Brother Hai, let’s buy a flashlight. Mom’s reluctant to buy kerosene for the oil lamp. She only gives us a little each month; it’s never enough. And for Mianmian, who reads books, the light from the flashlight would be much clearer.”
Jiang Mianmian also clambered up from the kang bed, batting her big eyes coquettishly, “Dad, buy another can of milk essence too, we’re about to finish the one at home.”
Jiang Changhai grandly waved his hand, “Buy, buy everything! Next time I go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, I’ll buy it all for you, and I’ll also get a few pounds of snacks for you to stave off the hunger.”
“Heehee, Dad, you’re the best!”
“Brother Hai, don’t just think about us two, buy something for yourself too.”
“I don’t need anything; if you all buy it, that’s good enough.”
Listening to the laughter and banter of the family of three, Yu Cheng’s cold heart gradually warmed up along with his body.
But he still had his uncle’s leg injury on his mind, so after breakfast the next day, he headed to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
He dialed the familiar phone number, waiting for the other side to pick up, and soon the call was answered by a gentle female voice, “Hello, this is Yu Residence, may I ask who you’re looking for?”
Yu Cheng, “Aunt Sun, it’s me.”
The gentle voice instantly became excited, “Is that you, young master? Where have you been all this time? Elder Yu has been so worried.”
“Aunt Sun, I’m fine, don’t worry. Is Grandpa at home?”
“Yes, yes, just a moment…”
