Chapter 118 Eating this will make you fat

She thought Gu Tingyun was too young to understand the concept of money and was just mimicking adults.

As a result, Gu Tingyun took out a fifty-yuan bill from his pocket right in front of her: "This is my own New Year's money."

Knowing that the little hamster liked to eat, he specially prepared money to buy food.

Chen Honghong: "...Please wait a moment."

In a daze, she weighed out one pound of each type of pastry, wrapped them in oil paper, and only then did she come to her senses.

wrong!

Even if it's Gu Tingyun's own New Year's money, his family might not agree to him spending so much money on pastries. He might get a beating from both his parents if he buys pastries and goes home.

Just as he was about to offer some advice, Jiang Manyun, who had finished her errands, walked in. "What are you buying, son?"

Chen Honghong: ...Oh no, I've been caught red-handed. Luckily, I haven't paid yet.

She'll definitely stop him later, lest he hurt the child.

Gu Tingyun replied calmly, "I'm buying pastries; my little one likes them."

Jiang Manyun suddenly felt a little jealous. "Mom also likes to eat pastries. Why don't you buy some for her too?"

Chen Honghong was completely bewildered: ...What's going on here? Why is this mother getting jealous?

Gu Tingyun honestly said, "Mom, I remember you said you disliked eating these sweet and greasy pastries because they would make you fat."

Jiang Manyun: "..."

Instead of feeling jealous, she became somewhat worried: "With my son like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to find a girl he likes to marry!"

Just then, Helian Jiao spoke softly, "Aunt Jiang, you're not fat at all."

It's unbelievable that Aunt Jiang doesn't like sweet pastries.

Jiang Manyun immediately beamed and said, "What else would you like to eat, my darling? Aunt Jiang will buy it for you."

Daughters are the best!

Pretty, well-behaved, and sweet-talking, she is her parents' precious little darling.

Helian Jiao shook her head and said in a childish voice, "No."

Chen Honghong thought to herself that her little niece was indeed a fairy descended from heaven, and even the city people from the capital loved her very much.

However, my little niece is really well-behaved and sensible. Although she loves to eat, she is not greedy. If it were her two naughty sons, they would probably want to take the whole box of pastries home.

Since the adults had no objections, she quickly gave Gu Tingyun change and said habitually, "Young comrade, please count the money first to make sure there are no mistakes."

After saying that, she realized that the child in front of her was only four or five years old and couldn't count yet, so she turned her head and asked Jiang Manyun, the mother, to count.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Manyun said nonchalantly, "It's alright, let him count it himself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Tingyun coolly replied, "Thirty-eight yuan and fifty cents, that's right."

Chen Honghong was shocked once again: she was so young and could already count to thirty-eight! And she counted so fast!!

So he sincerely praised, "Comrade Jiang, your son is really smart, and you've taught him very well."

Her husband is a primary school teacher. When he rests at home on weekends, he teaches their two sons to count, but no matter how much he teaches them, the two rascals can only count from 1 to 10.

Jiang Manyun said modestly, "I didn't teach him, his grandfather did."

She felt a little guilty when she said this, because in the first few years after giving birth to her son, she and Gu Qingshan were so busy that they had to leave their son with the old man to take care of.

When she finally had some free time, she wanted to get closer to her son, but she found that he was emotionally lacking and showed more respect than intimacy towards his irresponsible parents.

Just to clarify: the largest denomination of RMB in my country during the 1960s and 70s was ten yuan. The fifty and one hundred yuan denominations were introduced with the fourth set of RMB in 1987, so let's consider them as semi-fictional.

Thanks to the lovely "Qiubai" for pointing it out.
