Chapter 2055: Chapter 1779: Table Aunt Is Still an Aunt (2)
The weather was too hot. Lun Chuan and Qiaoqiao kept using tissues to wipe their sweat. Seeing their big aunt reluctantly holding the remote control, Song Tan couldn’t be bothered to linger any longer and simply said:
"Aunt, we’ll be leaving soon—by the way, it’s really hot in your room. Here are 50 pounds of Sunshine Rose grapes from Baiyu County. They can sell for 60 yuan a pound locally, and they’re of excellent quality. Where would you like them placed?"
What kind of grapes cost 60 yuan a pound?!
The aunt was so worried she was almost jumping.
If they wanted fruit, they could go to the supermarket for a stroll in the evening when there’s a sale and get a big bag for just a couple of yuan!
"Why are you giving this to ? Why give it to ? Why not take it to your village to impress the others and earn so goodwill..."
"Don’t refuse, Aunt."
Song Tan said, "I drove all the way from Baiyu County with these. If you keep refusing, the grapes will spoil in this heat."
The aunt was suddenly silent.
After a while, she quickly said, "Then I’ll call Ling Qi and have him take these grapes to Minmin’s house..."
Song Tan blinked.
Alright then.
Brother Yanping wouldn’t even pick up a tipped oil bottle, Brother Wu Lei isn’t very bright.
Only Brother Lingqi, who promises to co help with work every weekend, actually shows up each week.
In such hot weather, he works hard and energetically, only needing to take ho a couple of als for his girlfriend, making him feel like he’s landed a great deal.
eting a person like this, no wonder he’s frugal but still well-liked at work and among friends!
This sister-in-law nad Minmin choosing him isn’t entirely without reason.
And looking at the way the aunt handles things...
Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but complain, "Aunt, you never said you’d give
so much stuff before."
The aunt was busy inspecting the big baskets of grapes, and without looking up, she replied:
"There’s not that much space in the fridge at ho. Too much stuff uses a lot of electricity."
"Your sister-in-law Minmin’s house has a big preservation cabinet and a freezer, so we can put the stuff there. Lingqi can grab so food from there every day, and when he brings ho a bag, won’t we get to try so too?"
"Besides, when he visits every day, it’s not appropriate not to bring sothing. So many grapes—how decent!"
Only after finishing did she rember to comfort Qiaoqiao: "It’s not that I’m stingy, you know I don’t like giving much when visiting, Qiaoqiao you..."
But she saw Qiaoqiao slightly shaking his head and stepping back:
"It’s fine, Aunt."
He sighed: "Even though you haven’t given
50 pounds of things, you don’t eat it yourself, Aunt—take care of yourself, okay? I have money. If you’re old and ever find yourself without money or care, you can co to , and I’ll take care of you."
Goodness gracious!
The lazy n in the family and the young Zhu Lingqi have never said such considerate words!
Even Minmin with her sweet-talking hasn’t said this!
Aunt was so moved that her eyes were turning red. Then she gritted her teeth: "Wait a mont!"
She turned and quickly moved into the bedroom, rummaging through boxes and chests, and then mysteriously took out a small box:
"Here, sothing the aunt saved up many years ago, even your uncle and Lingqi don’t know about it—Tantan, you have money now, so I won’t give it to you!"
Song Tan already knew that Aunt favored Qiaoqiao, but her favoritism was only giving Qiaoqiao 5 or 10 yuan more...
Ah, it’s not that she’s insensitive to the issue, it’s just unnecessary!
Nine sons competing for a Yadi, doesn’t it sound grand?
But seeing how distressed the aunt was, she wondered what treasure it could be?
But upon closer inspection, she was slightly surprised:
Aunt really went all out this ti!
In the small red box lay a pair of shiny golden earrings, the old-fashioned big type.
They looked quite heavy!
At this mont, Aunt, with a mix of sorrow and determination, grabbed one and handed it to Qiaoqiao first:
"Here! This is for our good boy! Don’t worry, when I’m old, Aunt won’t be a burden to you! Use it to buy snacks!"
Then glancing again at Lun Chuan, this handso young man, the aunt gritted her teeth and with a firm heart, grabbed his hand, placing the other earring in his palm, and clasped it tightly:
"Xiaolun, you’re a good guy, Aunt knows that in her heart. It’s your first ti visiting here, and there hasn’t been much hospitality... consider this as Aunt’s gift to you!"
With the current high price of gold, giving it away made Aunt’s heartache so much she trembled, but after thinking about it, she still grit her teeth and said:
"I’ve given a lot now, so when you co back married for New Year visits, I can only give you 200 yuan!"
She held on hard; the golden earring in her palm was slightly painful, but as Lun Chuan thought of how Aunt couldn’t even bear to turn on the air conditioner to save money, he was deeply touched inside:
