However, this also indicated that they did not have enough food, so Zhu Qinghao continued to take things out, taking out all the food she had prepared earlier.
"Dad, this is the food I brought. You can hide it and eat it first. I'll bring you more when you're done. Don't let Uncle risk going into the city again, and it's too cold today."
Before the Zhu family could ask any questions, she continued:
"I was sent to the countryside as an educated youth, and I lived in that small courtyard. The room closest to the cowshed was where I lived, and the other room was where my new friend lived. If you need anything, you can come and find me."
Compared to you, I am free, so it's much easier for me to handle many things. Besides, my friends have connections, and I can buy plenty of food, so you don't have to risk yourselves."
Zhu's family looked at her, remaining silent for a long time. Zhu Qinghao knew they didn't believe that her shopping was safe, and she was getting anxious.
"Grandpa, believe me, I really have a way to get a lot of food. Although it's a bit expensive, it's safer, and you don't have to run out in the middle of the night to buy it."
Zhu Huaichuan was initially skeptical about how safe it was for a young girl to obtain so much food. However, he knew Zhu Qinghao well; his granddaughter never boasted.
"Okay, Grandpa trusts Haohao. From now on, we won't sneak out to buy things ourselves anymore. We'll leave everything to Haohao, okay?"
Hearing the old man's promise, Zhu Qinghao felt relieved.
"Yes, I'll come here often in the future. Just tell me what you need. I have a safe way to do it, so you must not risk yourselves."
After seeing everyone in the Zhu family nod, Zhu Qinghao finally let them go and continued rummaging through the things.
"Here are steamed buns and mantou. I bought them from a state-run restaurant. You can heat them up a little and eat them."
This is milk powder and malted milk powder; you all need to drink it. You've all lost weight and need to replenish your bodies, especially my cousin-in-law. Don't hold back for me; I'll bring you more in a couple of days..."
"I've also prepared some thick clothes for you, and I've patched them up so they won't be noticeable. But I can only take so much today, so I'll bring you more tomorrow."
Also, I'm going to the city tomorrow. If you need anything, let me know and I'll buy it for you tomorrow..."
Zhu Qinghao rambled on for a long time before realizing that she had been the one talking the whole time, while everyone in the Zhu family was just sitting there with red eyes and smiling at her.
This situation made her blush slightly, and she looked around for a place to hide.
"That's right, this is how we should be."
Grandma Zhu's words made the entire Zhu family burst into laughter.
"Yes, who would have thought Hao Hao could be so talkative? And she talks about everything, big and small. If it weren't for her face, I would have thought it was Uncle Chen!"
Hearing Zhu Qingyun's teasing, Wen Chuyi couldn't help but laugh too.
"That's right. Hao Hao was acting like a little housekeeper just now, not like a little girl at all."
Zhu Qinghao felt even more embarrassed after hearing their words, so she stomped her foot, ready to get angry out of embarrassment.
Before she could even begin, Grandpa Zhu exposed her scheme.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Look at how Haohao is. If she gets angry and you can't appease her, don't come looking for me!"
