Jiang Xuan turned around and saw an elderly woman with gray hair rushing over.

She looked to be around fifty years old, with trendy curly hair, wearing a floral dress and sandals, and a pearl necklace.

Her features were already very beautiful, and with this outfit, she looked quite fashionable.

However, at this moment, her face was filled with anxiety and dissatisfaction.

Startled, Dian Dian quickly hid the popsicle behind her back and stammered, "Grandma, Grandma."

Jiang Xuan remembered that Lu Shengye had said before that Diandian and Fanxing were raised by his aunt in the petrochemical plant's family compound since they were little.

She must be Lu Shengye's aunt.

She politely asked, "Are you Auntie?"

Hu Tao glanced at Jiang Xuan and hesitated before asking, "Are you Xiao Ye's boyfriend?"

"Yes, my name is Jiang Xuan."

Hu Tao knows about this.

Shengye called her a few days ago and said he would bring Jiang Xuan to see her when he was free.

She had initially liked this girl she had never met, but now that she saw how indifferent the girl was to Dian Dian, all her previous goodwill vanished.

Hu Tao's tone was full of displeasure: "How could you feed the child such unhygienic food!"

"Auntie, it's just an ice pop, it's okay to eat it once in a while, right?"

Hu Tao became even more displeased. She raised her voice, "Children's stomachs are very delicate. They can easily damage their spleen and stomach. Besides, this stuff is so cold. Aren't you afraid that Didi will get diarrhea after eating it?"

Jiang Xuan felt that this aunt was a bit too cautious, and didn't seem like someone from this era.

Children at this age, let alone eating popsicles, will even drink river water full of tadpoles if they get thirsty while playing.

To be honest, being able to afford a 5-cent popsicle is already a luxury.

In later generations, although adults were extremely careful, children's physical condition was generally not as good as that of children at that time.

She had even looked it up on the internet before, and it seemed to say that children in this age group are exposed to more pathogens from a young age, which trains their immune system and strengthens their resistance.

Although she doesn't know if there's any scientific basis for it, Jiang Xuan thinks it makes some sense.

However, Walnut was doing it for Dian Dian's own good.

She was the only older sister of Hu Yun, Lu Shengye's mother. Jiang Xuan didn't want to have a conflict with her aunt over such a small matter, so she nodded and said, "Auntie, I understand. I will definitely pay attention to the children's food hygiene in the future."

Hu Tao's tone softened a bit as she said, "That's good."

Jiang Xuan said to Dian Dian, "Dian Dian, popsicles aren't hygienic, they'll give you a stomachache if you eat them, so let's not eat them, okay?"

Lu Diandian was very unhappy. He pouted and said angrily, "Hmph, you didn't keep your word! Didn't you say you could eat anything?"

Kang Hyun: ! !

How did she go back on her word?

If his aunt hadn't suddenly come over, he would have already eaten the popsicle.

"Dian Dian, Auntie didn't explain clearly just now. We need to eat healthy food."

Dian Dian angrily pushed the popsicle into Jiang Xuan's hand and turned to leave.

Hu Tao frowned and said, "Look at you, the child has only been with you for a few days and he's already like this? He never threw a tantrum when I was taking care of him."

Jiang Xuan was speechless. Although she hadn't known Dian Dian for long, it was a fact that Dian Dian had a bad temper.

It's hard to say about other things, but this temperament won't change overnight.

She smiled and said, "Auntie, I've never taken care of a child before, so I don't have much experience. I'll need to learn more from you in the future."

Seeing that Jiang Xuan's attitude was quite good, Hu Tao said, "Let's go. I heard you moved to a new house. I came here today to see your new house."

"Let's go then, Auntie. The new house is right in the courtyard, it's very close."

Hu Tao nodded and walked forward, "Dian Dian, wait for Grandma."

Jiang Xuan held two popsicles in her hand. To be honest, she really wanted to try them.

When she visited the scenic area in later generations, she also ate the old-fashioned popsicles from her childhood.

She wanted to know if the two tasted the same.

She tore open the popsicle wrapper and licked it.

So sweet, so cool.

It tastes great.

Hu Tao turned her head and happened to see her biting into a corner of an ice pop.

She was a little shocked and speechless, but after thinking about it, she found it kind of cute.

*

A large courtyard.

Lu Xiaomei, who had never done housework before, was exhausted and lay down on the sofa to rest.

To complete the task assigned by her brother, she didn't rest for a moment and organized everything that could be organized.

She had originally planned to help Jiang Xuan wallpaper the wall, but she really couldn't do it. She finished a crumpled wallpaper and tore it up.

The door rang.

Lu Xiaomei didn't even look up. "Sister Xuanxuan, you're back? What does the school want with you?"

"Little sister?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lu Xiaomei immediately sat up, ran over, and hugged Hu Tao affectionately, saying, "Auntie, I missed you so much."

Hu Tao stroked Lu Xiaomei's hair and said reproachfully, "You might miss me but not come to see me. Have you finished your exams? How did they go?"

Lu Xiaomei pouted and said, "Oh, Auntie, don't ask about grades. It's not like it's the college entrance exam. It's not important."

"You really need to take your studies seriously. With a college degree, you'll have plenty of good jobs."

"I know, Auntie. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you four words when I take the college entrance exam."

"What word?"

Lu Xiaomei stretched out her index finger and gestured in the air, "A stunning debut."

Hu Tao was amused by her niece.

Jiang Xuan went to the kitchen to pour water for Hu Tao. "Auntie, please have some water."

"Okay. Go and comfort Diandian first."

As soon as Lu Diandian entered the door, she stormed into her room.

Actually, you can't really blame Dian Dian.

He had never eaten popsicles or any of those other snacks.

Every time he sees his friends eating things like shell pastries, Tang Monk meat, and drinking soda, he gets so hungry his mouth waters.

Today I finally got to try the popsicle I'd been dreaming of, but Grandma bumped into me.

No wonder he's in a bad mood.

When Jiang Xuan entered the room, she saw Lu Diandian lying on the bed, her shoes still on.

She sat on the edge of the bed, helping Dian Dian take off her shoes. "Dian Dian, I know you're in a bad mood. I would feel the same way if I were you. But the food from roadside stalls isn't hygienic. Grandma is doing this for your own good, because she's afraid you'll get sick."

But Dian Dian couldn't listen to any of that; all he could think about was that cool, sweet taste.

He couldn't hold back anymore; large tears rolled down his cheeks, his nose turned red, and he kept shouting, "You broke your promise! You promised me!"

Hearing Dian Dian's cries, Hu Tao followed her in.

She hugged her beloved grandson tightly and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, Grandma will hug you."

She looked at Jiang Xuan and said somewhat unhappily, "Look at you, why did you agree to let the child eat this?"

Jiang Xuan said, "Auntie, how about we let Dian Dian have one?"
