Chapter 249: Chapter 248 San Ya Follows Chapter 249: Chapter 248 San Ya Follows They had their al and then took a nap, but what had happened in between?
With this thought, she couldn’t help but ask out loud, “Mom and Dad, why have you suddenly beco so nice to Mianmian?”
“When have I ever been not nice to San Ya!”
The old lady felt displeased upon hearing this; she might not have been very nice to San Ya in the past, but now she was truly good to her.
Then she couldn’t resist laughing happily, “Just now, when I took San Ya out for a visit, all those daughters and sons-in-law visiting their parents’ ho in the village were envious of for having such a smart, well-behaved, and pretty granddaughter.”
Zhang Guihua proudly boasted to Jiang Changhai about how those people had praised them.
Upon hearing this, the elder couple felt both proud and regretful.
If they had known this would happen, they wouldn’t have gone to sleep; they would have joined in to enjoy the villagers’ complints and envy as well.
“It’s about ti to start cooking.”
Since Zhao Xiaojuan and Sun Lixia had both gone back to their parents’ hos to visit relatives, lunch was made by the old lady and Su Wanyu.
When Su Wanyu saw that the old lady was willing to bring out the cured at, she was so surprised her eyes nearly popped out.
Good heavens, what got into the old lady today that she would be willing to eat her precious cured at when her two precious grandsons weren’t ho?
Zhang Guihua noticed her expression and thought Su Wanyu was just salivating over the at; she glared at her irritably, “What are you looking at? This at is specially made for San Ya to eat. Don’t you compete with the child for it later. San Ya needs to eat well because studying is taxing on the brain.”
“You’re right, Mom. Mianmian really works hard at her studies and is so self-disciplined. Every day, she doesn’t need to tell her what to do, she knows to move her little table onto the kang and study by herself,” Su Wanyu nodded in agreent, taking the opportunity to boost her daughter’s image in front of the old lady.
The corners of the old lady’s mouth lifted again as she listened, “Ah, the child takes after . I’ve always been competitive. You have no idea; when I was young, working in the fields, I could outdo all the young n from ten villages over. If my family hadn’t been poor and unable to afford schooling for , I’m sure I could have been first in class.”
Listening to the old lady recount her storied past, Su Wanyu had to try very hard not to burst into laughter.
The old lady could really change her tune quickly; this past sumr, she had looked down on her daughter, calling them and their child lazy, and now she’s claiming they’re alike?
The old lady fried a plate of cured at and also stead an egg, setting the table with them.
Seeing the cured at, Jiang Changhai was also a bit surprised, “Mom, is there so special occasion today?”
“It’s specially made for San Ya. The child works hard at her studies, she needs to replenish,” Zhang Guihua said with tender affection as she looked at Jiang Mianmian.
“Right, yes, she needs to replenish well.” Jiang Changhai was very happy to see his mother valuing his daughter so much.
At alti, the Jiang family mbers had developed a habit of snatching food from one another, even now with only a few of them at ho, they still instinctively vied for dishes.
Seeing that there were only a few slices of cured at left, and Jiang Changhai was still reaching for more, the old lady promptly smacked his chopsticks with hers, “You know only to eat for yourself. San Ya hasn’t had much yet, and you’re going to eat it all up.”
“Then I’ll eat sothing else.” Jiang Changhai wasn’t annoyed at being scolded; of course, he wouldn’t compete with his daughter for food.
Zhang Guihua moved the plate of cured at in front of Jiang Mianmian, “San Ya, you eat the rest of the cured at. Grandma made it especially for you.”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
Jiang Mianmian savored the cured at, enjoying the special treatnt from her grandma.
You see, in the past, such treatnt was only given to the two boys. Indeed, studying changes your destiny.
