Uncle Guo had seen all the other chubby children, but the skinny little girl was definitely a new face.
"Hello, Grandpa Guo~~"
Wanwan was especially happy today, showing her tiny, pointed teeth many times, but her little face was a bit sallow, which was heartbreaking to see.
"Hey, Wanwan, go find your friends to play with."
The little guy ran out, bouncing and jumping around.
Uncle Guo, who looked after the dormitory building, had seen many students bringing their children to school, and many of them were skinny.
"Xiao Xue, the child needs to get proper nutrition, otherwise he won't be strong enough when he grows up."
Xue Chen sincerely accepted the instruction, "Uncle Guo, I will. I will make sure she eats well from now on."
Back in his hometown, he was a hunter. Wanwan was considered one of the tallest children his age, but compared to the little guys like Da Liu, he was really much smaller.
I'm an adult, so it's okay for me to suffer a little, but my child is still growing and can't lack nutrition.
Uncle Guo chatted for a bit, then went back to his house to get a rag and broom for him to clean up himself before going to his post.
Nannan seized the opportunity to speak, "Brother Xue, Sister Shishi said you don't need to buy anything. We have a lot of things at home that are just gathering dust. They will bring them over to you this afternoon."
The space has everything, including clothes, but they're from overseas and don't fit.
Daily necessities are fine; we have both new and used ones, and they've all been sterilized. Once the dollar store opens, it will definitely be a huge source of income.
"By the way, she asked you if you mind if the sixth graders wear their old clothes. Their little clothes are very clean."
"Brother Xie also has some old clothes. If you don't mind, you can bring them over as well."
Xue Chenhao didn't know what to say. The employer was even more considerate than the employer at the coal mine, taking care of everything.
Wanwan only has two sets of clothes, which are altered from adults' old clothes. He also has two sets of clothes to change into.
Without cloth ration coupons, it was a blessing not to go naked, so how could anyone complain?
"We don't mind." It's still a time when we have to ask for help, so we try to save money wherever possible.
After he finished cleaning, the rest of the group acted as his tour guides, showing him around the area, including the grove and the artificial lake.
In the afternoon, a small cart carrying a large package entered Xue Chenhao's house, instantly filling the empty room to the brim.
After he finished tidying up, looking at his cozy little home with everything he needed, and then at the candy on the table, his eyes involuntarily reddened again.
They must have done something extraordinary in their past life to deserve this good fortune.
Seeing his daughter holding a red hair tie and then staring at a pretty little dress with sparkling eyes, he braided her hair into two buns and then took out a dress for her to change into, which fit her quite well.
The dress is red with white flowers, made of soft fabric, and looks about 70-80% new. The small floral print hasn't faded at all, and it's been washed clean. You can even smell the scent of soap. People would believe it's brand new.
The stitches were very tight; he pulled on them slightly, and the stitches were very close together, without any loose holes.
Not only are there little skirts, but also quite a few little jackets and little pants, all of which smell wonderful.
Once dressed, the little guy looked completely different. If you ignored his slightly sallow face, he looked no different from a city kid.
"Daddy, Wanwan really likes the dress!" The little one happily touched the dress and then touched her head.
Xue Chenhao also patted her little head.
"My daughter Wanwan looks so pretty in her dress. Come on, it's still chilly outside, let's put on a little jacket and some leggings underneath."
"Okay~" Little Wanwan was so happy she felt like she was floating on air. It was the first time she had ever worn a pretty dress.
"Dad, Wanwan wants to go and play with Da Liu and the others."
"Okay, after Dad changes his clothes, I'll take you to find them."
He went to the guesthouse at noon to retrieve his luggage. It wasn't anything special; he and Wanwan each had a set of worn-out clothes.
Her clothes were patched up, and since she would be going to be in and out of school and standing next to Zhou Shi and the others, she had to be mindful of her appearance.
I'm used to wearing rags, but I can't let it give the important person a bad impression. What if one day the important person needs me to do something, and I mess it up because I'm dressed in rags?
He changed into black trousers and a light gray shirt, looking every bit the energetic young man.
"Wow, Daddy, you look beautiful too~~" Wanwan turned into a little fangirl, clapping her hands and praising her dad.
Xue Chen chuckled and pinched her cheek. "You silly girl, your dad isn't a woman, why are you so pretty?"
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. The father and daughter transformed themselves into semi-city dwellers. With a little more care and improvement, they would be complete city people.
Carrying a high school textbook and a notebook, and putting two candies in his daughter's pocket—one milk candy and one fruit candy—the father and daughter set off in high spirits.
The dormitory supervisors' eyes lit up.
"Hey, Xiao Xue, you've gotten all dressed up so handsomely, where are you headed?" Uncle Guo teased.
Aunt Guo smiled and praised Xiao Wanwan, "Oh my, Wanwan has become so beautiful, Grandma almost didn't recognize her."
Little Wanwan's eyebrows and eyes also curved into crescents, "Grandma Guo is beautiful too~"
Aunt Guo laughed heartily, "You have such a sweet tongue."
"Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, I'm just taking the kids to the library to read for a while."
Praised, Xue Chen, whose father was more generous than her daughter, blushed and stuffed a handful of fruit candies into Uncle Guo's hand.
It wasn't that he was being extravagant because he was poor; rather, when he was packing his belongings, the couple went over to see him. They didn't see any greed in their eyes, but rather they were happy for him and said encouraging words. This shows that the couple are genuine people.
We see each other every day, and Wanwan is still so young. There will always be times when she needs a helping hand from her neighbors. Giving her some candy to build goodwill is worth it.
Uncle Guo took out two, and tried to return the rest to him, saying, "We appreciate your kindness, but one each is fine. We can take the rest back for Xiaowanwan."
