"Yes, yes, yes, she’s my daughter too. How could I not care? I’m just worried about your health, you just fainted." Su Jinrong’s words were filled with concern for Jiang Wanru’s health.
Her health, after all these years, sometimes falls ill. This trip to South City, in case of any accident, Su Jinrong simply couldn’t bear it.
"Exactly, Mom, if Nianhua really is Yuyu, we would definitely bring Yuyu home." Su Lie also advised, knowing the state of his own mother’s health. For her sake, he also didn’t recommend Jiang Wanru going to South City.
"No, even if the sky falls today, I’m going to South City; none of you should try to stop me." Jiang Wanru might appear gentle and approachable, but she has strong principles. Once she makes up her mind, no one can persuade her otherwise.
In the end, Jiang Wanru’s family still embarked on the train bound for South City.
Su Hong’en was taking the train for the first time and seemed very excited. Although he didn’t speak, his eyes were shining.
"Hongen, we’re going to see Aunt Nianhua; remember her?" Su Xi stood by the window with Su Hong’en, looking at the scenery rushing by outside. Her heart was racing too. The pace had been so quick since this suspicion arose until they set off, it was a little overwhelming for Su Xi.
Could Xu Nianhua really be her cousin?
"I remember." Su Hong’en said clearly, his eyes sparkling at the mention of Xu Nianhua.
"Hongen, do you think Nianhua is your real aunt?" Su Xi suddenly asked.
"Aunt." Su Hong’en called out and continued to gaze at the scenery outside. In the past six months, Su Hong’en had changed the most, and Fang Manyin’s couple thought this trip to South City was a great opportunity for Su Hong’en to meet more people. Maybe Su Hong’en’s illness could be completely healed.
...
South City.
Xu Nianhua and Gu Mingzhu talked about something, but Xu Nianji and the others tacitly didn’t ask.
"Little sister, guess what I brought back from Hai City?" Xu Nian’an said happily.
Xu Nianhua thought for a moment and said, "Did you bring back a batch of goods from Hai City?"
"Hmm, little sister is so smart, you guessed it right away."
Xu Nian’an returned to his grandfather Ji Xinghua’s home and immediately took out the goods he procured, including various styles of radios, watches, flashlights, and hair dryers.
"Little sister, with this you can blow dry your hair more conveniently in the future." Xu Nian’an handed the hair dryer forward and specifically explained how to use it to Xu Nianhua, saying, "Look, when you plug it in, hot air comes out. In the future, it will be much easier for you to blow dry your hair."
"Thank you, second brother." Xu Nianhua’s eyes were filled with joy; she very much liked the hair dryer. Sometimes, when she’s busy, she washes her hair in the afternoon and evening, and her hair always stays wet and can’t dry. But now it’s better; with a hair dryer, it’s more convenient. The only downside is that the hair dryer is too noisy, very different from the silent ones in later generations.
"Nian’an, since it’s still the New Year, why don’t we take these things to sell?" Ji Shuyuan said, his mind stirring at the sight of the new-style radios, "Look, it’s troublesome to take so many things to Ningbei anyway; it doesn’t matter where we sell them, does it? I’ll just earn a little commission, and I promise you won’t lose out."
"Sounds good." Xu Nian’an wasn’t originally planning to sell them in Ningbei. If they could be sold in South City, that would be the best.
The two reached an agreement immediately and took the goods to the shop to sell.
