Being sweetly cajoled by her rarely visiting daughter, Zhang Guihua’s tone softened, "You, spending money with such a free hand, don’t know how to manage a household at all. I’ll allow it this ti, but don’t buy so many things again next ti."
"Mm, Mom, I know. Don’t worry," Jiang Changfeng nodded repeatedly in response.
We’ll talk about future matters later; for now, she just agreed.
Because Jiang Changfeng bought a lot of ingredients at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the Jiang Family’s dinner was especially sumptuous.
After dinner, Jiang Changfeng hugged Jiang Mianmian, sitting on the kang, chatting and laughing with the old couple about interesting stories in Xiangcheng.
"Grandma, there are so many fun things to do in Xiangcheng. My aunt and I went hiking, rode the cable car, and went rafting. It was all so fun," Jiang Mianmian said, gesticulating animatedly.
The old couple, seeing their little granddaughter so happy, listened to her stories with loving smiles.
Seeing the old couple so interested, Jiang Changfeng suggested, "Mom and Dad, if you like Xiangcheng, when I leave this ti, you can co with and stay in Xiangcheng for a while. I’ll take you out to have so fun."
Zhang Guihua waved her hand in rejection without a second thought, "No, your dad and I won’t go. Taking planes, ferries, and going out to play—all that costs money. With that money, I could buy a lot of grain."
"Changfeng, we appreciate your filial piety, but your mom and I still need to work in the fields," Jiang Dashan also declined.
The old couple’s answer was within Jiang Changfeng’s expectations: "Since you don’t want to go, I’ll just try to co back and see you often."
The old lady was very pleased to hear this, "That’s right, co back often. No matter when you co back, your dad and I will be waiting for you at ho."
Jiang Mianmian, worried that her aunt might not adjust quickly after just returning, didn’t go back to the city with her parents the next day. She stayed in Stone Bridge Village with her aunt for four days before preparing to go ho.
This ti she had spent more than ten days playing in Xiangcheng. After coming back, she hadn’t spent two days with her parents before staying in Stone Bridge Village again.
Missing her, her parents sent her at least three ssages a day through the pager, and Jiang Mianmian herself missed her parents too. As soon as her aunt adjusted, she imdiately told her aunt she wanted to go ho.
"Auntie, I plan to go ho tomorrow. My parents miss . Just look at my pager," Jiang Mianmian said, showing her pager ssages to her aunt one by one.
Jiang Changfeng, seeing this, smiled and ruffled Jiang Mianmian’s hair, "Our Mianmian is such a sweet and thoughtful little darling. Of course, your big brother and sister-in-law miss you dearly. Alright, get going. If you delay any longer, I’m afraid your big brother will co and give a talking-to."
Jiang Changfeng certainly knew her little niece stayed in Stone Bridge Village for her sake. Although Mianmian was young, she was genuinely considerate of others.
"Okay, Auntie, then I’ll head ho first. I’ll co to see you in a few days if I have ti," Jiang Mianmian said, hugging her aunt’s neck and giving her a kiss.
"Alright, Auntie will also co to see you when there’s ti," Jiang Changfeng also planted a kiss on her little niece’s soft cheek.
The next day, Jiang Changfeng took Jiang Mianmian to town, made a phone call to a friend, and arranged for a driver to take Jiang Mianmian directly to the city.
"Don’t tire yourself out with studying. Go out and play with your buddies. Auntie will co see you in a few days."
"Okay!"

"Mom, Dad, I’m back!"
Every ti Jiang Mianmian ca ho, her voice would enter the house even before she stepped into the yard.
