Chapter 245: Chapter 244: Just for You Guys Chapter 245: Chapter 244: Just for You Guys Da Ya thought about the walnut crisps that Jiang Mianmian had given her last time and softly asked, “Uncle, could I have a piece of walnut crisp?”
Er Ya didn’t ask for any food; instead, she gazed longingly at the brand-new notebooks and pencils in the display case, “Uncle, could I have some pencils and a notebook?”
“Sure.” Jiang Changhai nodded in agreement.
Though pencils and notebooks were a bit more expensive, his niece’s love of reading was something to be encouraged, and he supported her wholeheartedly.
Eventually, Zhaodi and Laidi also voiced their desires.
It was all food, not like other girls’ requests for hair clips and headbands, because Jiang Mianmian had shared many of those items from Yu Cheng with them.
“Alright, I’ll buy everything for you,” Jiang Changhai agreed at once and told the clerk to get the items for the kids.
After the purchases, the group of children headed home in high spirits.
Zhaodi, seeing her second sister didn’t buy any tidbits, shared her own candies and peach crisps with Er Ya.
“Zhaodi, I don’t want them, keep them for yourself, I already have pencils and a notebook,” Er Ya declined.
“Second sister, why be so polite with me? I still have a lot here; let’s eat them together,” Zhaodi said as she took out what was in her pockets to show Er Ya.
This time, Jiang Changhai’s generosity with food for them was quite evident, but all those sweets combined cost less than two yuan.
In comparison to the money he held, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
“Second sister, I’ll also share with you,” Laidi offered her own treats to Er Ya.
“Right, Er Ya, your big sister has some too.”
Er Ya felt slightly embarrassed; after all, she had bought pencils and notebooks but was still receiving treats from her sisters.
Each of the three girls gave Er Ya a share, and in the end, Er Ya had seven or eight pieces of candy and three small pieces of walnut crisp in her hands.
When Jiang Changhai led the children back home, Sun Lixia’s eyes darted over them like spotlights, examining the kids from top to bottom.
Seeing her two sons’ pockets stuffed full, she revealed a satisfied smile.
It seemed the Eldest hadn’t forgotten his conscience and had thought to buy some treats for his nephews.
“Eldest, why did you buy so much stuff?” Zhang Guihua asked with a displeased face.
With the way Eldest was spending, no matter how much money he had, it wouldn’t be enough to cover his expenditures.
The Third Branch’s unprofitable bunch even had walnut crisps; the Eldest really didn’t get it.
Being good to nephews was one thing, but why bother being so nice to the nieces? They’d be part of someone else’s family sooner or later; what was the use?
“Mom, it didn’t cost much, just a few peach crisps and candies. It’s the New Year, let the kids have something to enjoy,” Jiang Changhai said carelessly.
Zhang Guihua glared at him fiercely, knowing that her words would go in one ear and out the other with him; she was so mad it literally hurt.
After dinner, when no one else was around, the old lady sneaked into the Third Branch’s quarters.
The two boys had been playing marbles on the ground, but they immediately jumped up excitedly as soon as they saw her.
Grandma was here to give them red envelopes again!
Sun Lixia felt as if she had taken a sedative; the old lady still doted on her two sons the most.
True enough, the old lady pulled out two red envelopes from her pocket: “My dear grandsons, this is a special big red envelope just for you.”
“Thank you, Grandma. When we grow up and make money, we’ll give you big red envelopes too,” the two boys said, gleefully accepting the red envelopes.
Zhang Guihua’s face bloomed like a chrysanthemum with a delighted chuckle: “Good, good, good. Grandma will wait. But you can’t let the rest of the family know that Grandma has given you another red envelope.”
