Chapter 529 would take a long time to complete.

As soon as she entered, Helian Jiao saw her aunt standing behind the counter and called out in her sweet, childlike voice, "Auntie!"

Seeing her little niece, Chen Honghong was overjoyed. She came out from behind the counter, hugged her, and gave her two big kisses: "My sweetie, you came to town with Tingyun again today!"

Helian Jiao puffed out her small chest and said in a condescending tone, "I'm here to take Aunt Jiang to work, and I'll also buy some noodles, pork, and meat buns for Grandma to take back!"

Chen Honghong looked surprised when she heard this, thinking that her mother shouldn't be so unreliable, and wouldn't be willing to let the two little ones, Guaibao and Tingyun, come to town alone to buy things.

"Comrade Jiang, what's going on?" Chen Honghong turned to look at Jiang Manyun, her face full of doubt.

I'll explain it to you later.

Jiang Manyun said softly, then turned to the two little ones: "Sweethearts, Tingyun! Would you like some malted milk powder?"

"I want to drink!" Helian Jiao replied without hesitation.

Jiang Manyun took the two little ones to the office, made them two cups of malted milk powder, and then turned to walk out the door. Standing outside the door, she explained to Chen Honghong with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

“Your fourth brother made a sled and had Da Bai pull Guai Bao around. Today it snowed heavily and I was worried about riding my bicycle, so Guai Bao used the sled to bring me here. I didn’t expect Guai Bao to be serious and actually brought me to town.”

Chen Honghong was both surprised and amused. Da Bai was really amazing!

The two of them deliberately closed the door and spoke in hushed tones.

However, Helian Jiao and Gu Tingyun had exceptionally good senses and heard their conversation clearly.

Helian Jiao pouted slightly, a little unhappy: "The adults always treat us like three-year-old kids who don't know anything!"

She clearly lived longer than all of them combined!

Gu Tingyun nodded in agreement, a sentiment he shared deeply.

Adults know more than them not because they are smarter, but simply because they have lived longer.

The two people were on completely different wavelengths, yet they strangely reached a consensus.

Seeing that he agreed, Helian Jiao happily swung her little feet. Sure enough, the big bad dragon understood her best!

Outside the door, Chen Honghong suggested, "Let's have lunch at my house together, Tingyun and Guaibao."

There are so many people buying New Year's goods during this period that she hasn't been back to her parents' home for over a month.

Having finally met her little niece, she wanted to spend some time with her and ask about her family.

In addition, Jiang Manyun was not a gossip, so Chen Honghong was unaware that her third daughter had been sold and that her husband and daughter-in-law had divorced.

Jiang Manyun said, "Let Da Bai take it back. Otherwise, Aunt Chen will worry if she doesn't see anyone for a long time."

Aunt Chen had no idea that Da Bai had actually taken them to the town.

If this goes on for too long and no one is seen, Aunt Chen will definitely worry about the two little ones.

Chen Honghong thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

Her parents dote on their little niece; they'd be worried if they didn't see her for half a day.

Inside the house, Helian Jiao finished her malted milk powder in a big gulp, licked her lips, and jumped off the sofa with a nimble and decisive movement. She walked over with her short legs and opened the door, saying, "Auntie, Aunt Jiang, I'm going to buy some things."

If you go too late, her big meat buns will be sold out!

“Okay, go ahead.” Jiang Manyun nodded and took out twenty yuan from her wallet and handed it to her.
