As soon as she entered, Fang Xiaohui sweetly called out, "Grandpa! Grandma! I’m back!"
The old man was watering the orchid pots on the balcony. He looked up, his bifocals perched on his head, and smiled, "Oh! Huihui is back."
The old lady was busy in the kitchen.
"Huihui! Your dad just ca back! You’re back too, so what’s going on? I saw your dad dragging your uncle into the room for a secret chat, do you know what your dad is up to?"
The old lady was just purely curious because her son was being so mysterious, which was why she asked! She actually didn’t care much.
Fang Xiaohui’s heart skipped a beat, not good! Her dad must be talking about her and Jiang Xiaoxiao.
This is too hasty.
But there is no ti to waste.
If they delay, Fang Peizhong would be heading to the countryside, his parents would be going crazy with worry.
Serves them right, now they suddenly rember they need a Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Fang Xiaohui couldn’t help but sneer.
Jiang Xiaoxiao is unlucky to have parents like them.
But who knows if Jiang Xiaoxiao is smart or not.
It’s heartbreaking that her so-called parents seem to treat Jiang Xiaoxiao a lot better than her, truly treating her like a treasure.
Looking back at her own days in the Fang family, Fang Xiaohui felt it was Jiang Xiaoxiao who had taken her parents away from her.
Otherwise, what business would Jiang Xiaoxiao have here?
She should also be the treasure in her parents’ hands.
Now it’s almost like preserved plums.
"Grandma, I don’t know either! My dad and mom have been in a bad mood lately, I’ve been busy looking for a job, and haven’t been ho much."
She used the job search as an excuse to have a reason to ask for money.
The old man put down the watering can, "Oh, you’re looking for a job! Do you need Granddad to help? If you want to pull strings then don’t look for Granddad, the Fang family doesn’t have people who pull strings, but if Granddad can help in other ways, he surely will."
The old man is like that, he believes in principles.
Clearly, he has so many old comrades, old classmates, any one of them could help a little, pull so strings.
Granddad wouldn’t agree no matter what.
Otherwise, her parents wouldn’t need to be rushing everywhere, right?
"Granddad! I know, finding a job relies on one’s own ability, but this ti I’m taking the exam for the health clinic, Granddad, I want to buy so books to study! Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t pass."
Right now the health clinic just started exams, otherwise, she wouldn’t even have an excuse.
Upon hearing this, the old man’s face showed a gratified expression and he nodded.
"Buying books is good, reading more makes you wise, here, Xiaohui, let Granddad give you so money! You can also buy sothing you like."
Sure enough, as soon as the old man heard this, he reached into his pocket.
"No need, Granddad, my mom gave a dollar."
Fang Xiaohui knew the old man’s weak point, she knew what to say to make him feel sorry for her.
"Take it! I know what your mom is like, she’s stingy as can be, maybe she’s a bit more generous with your brother, but for you, forget it. Take this, it’s not much, just ten dollars, don’t tell your mom, or she’ll nag you."
The old man stuffed ten dollars into Fang Xiaohui’s hands.
Fang Xiaohui looked reluctant, "Granddad, you’re spoiling ."
Acting coy made the old man feel very comforted.
His granddaughter is sensible.
"Go on! Go buy the books. You’re my granddaughter, if Granddad doesn’t spoil you, who will?"
The old man winked, giving his granddaughter a look.
Don’t let your grandma hear.
The shape of his mouth clearly said so.
Fang Xiaohui slyly nodded and quickly stuffed the money into her pocket.
"Granddad! I’m leaving then, I’m going to check out the bookstore! Not sure if it’s open."
Feigning seriousness, she left.
The old man watched his granddaughter walk away with emotion.
...
What’s Jiang Xiaoxiao doing?
She was in the courtyard of the supply and marketing cooperative, which was the departnt store in their area, even though it was only two stories, it was still the departnt store.
Of course, in these tis, there was hardly anything available.
There weren’t many items in the supply and marketing cooperative.
The long wooden counter with embedded glass was already a high-end place in their area.
You needed to co here to buy things.
The problem was, with many items, even money couldn’t buy them.
For example, sothing as precious as a television, even if you have money and tickets, you can’t get it.
Every ti the supply and marketing cooperative received a shipnt of TVs, there weren’t enough even for their internal staff.
Who doesn’t have so family or friends?
They were never going to make it outside.
If you have no connections, it’s impossible to buy one.
Why did Jiang Xiaoxiao co?
To buy seeds.
After all, there’s still a plot of land.
The space was empty, just a piece of land, the spring water had no magical powers to revive anything.
If they still couldn’t plant anything, it’d be over.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but complain, other people’s cheat codes let them conquer everywhere, money, people, treasures, anything.
Why is her situation so difficult?
The supply and marketing cooperative have seeds?
Seriously, no, so why did she co?
She ca to find her little uncle, her little uncle worked at the supply and marketing cooperative.
He was a purchaser for the sales departnt.
It was a job everyone envied.
For hard-to-get items, just ask the little uncle, and maybe he could get so.
She made her way directly to the backyard, familiar with the route.
The supply and marketing cooperative staff worked in the backyard, the front was the cooperative!
Except for the sales clerks! Other staff didn’t work in the front.
Jiang Xiaoxiao darted in hurriedly.
The person at the gate saw that little girl, smiled, and said nothing.
She was the niece of Fan Jianguo from the sales departnt, so they turned a blind eye.
Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived at her little uncle’s office.
Through the glass window, she saw Fan Jianguo holding a tea cup, chatting gleefully with a few other procurent people.
Her little uncle was soone who just coasted through life.
Absolutely lacked ambition.
Of course, Fan Jianguo couldn’t be entirely blad since how many people dining in public institutes were genuinely working hard?
Jiang Xiaoxiao knocked on the glass window.
In high spirits, Fan Jianguo turned around and saw his niece.
He greeted a few people, put down the tea mug, and ca out.
The people inside had also noticed Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Who didn’t know about his sister’s little girl, a well-known figure in town?
Who made Fan Xiuying treat her daughter like a son?
Such unruliness only belonged to Fan Xiuying’s daughter.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here? Visiting uncle, or do you need sothing? Tell !"
Fan Jianguo knew his niece too well, she never ca without a reason.
"Uncle, can’t I just co to see you? I haven’t told you yet, I’ve signed up to go to the countryside, and I’ll be leaving in a month. Aren’t you going to miss , otherwise, you’ll never see again, maybe not forever! But at least not for three to five years, so don’t be mad at !"
Jiang Xiaoxiao liked this little uncle the most!
Uncle was actually very smart, quick-witted, just hindered by circumstances.
Later, encountering bad tis, he t such annoying matters, all because of his good intentions, he hard himself, bearing a lifeti of a bad na he couldn’t shake off.
If not, Uncle wouldn’t have passed away in low spirits later.
