Chapter 283 Visiting the Gu Family for New Year's Greetings (Part 4)
He could never forget the taste after eating it once.
So he walked up to Jiang Manyun, reached out and tugged at her pants, and demanded with an air of entitlement, "I want canned beef!"
He only came back to visit his mother for the New Year after she told him there would be canned beef to eat.
Jiang Manyun was taken aback for a moment, then said good-naturedly, "The canned beef belongs to Tingyun. If you want to eat it, you have to ask him if you can have it."
"No!" Gu Tingyun refused without hesitation; he only gave his food to the little hamster.
Chen Xiaobao is a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. He would ask for canned food without hesitation when Jiang Manyun is gentle and easy to talk to, but he would back down when he faced Gu Tingyun, who always had a stern face and spoke coldly.
You cheapskate!
At that moment, Da Ni was looking at the two yuan in her hand with a hesitant expression.
Although she was very excited to receive such a large red envelope for the first time, she also felt that the amount of money was too much.
Two yuan per person, that adds up to more than ten yuan, which is no small amount!
Grandma said they came to pay New Year's respects to their elders, not to take advantage of them.
So she walked up to Jiang Manyun and handed the red envelope back, saying, "Aunt Jiang, this is too much money, we can't accept it."
Erni, who was happily receiving a large red envelope, immediately thought her older sister was incredibly foolish for not even wanting the money after hearing her words.
But Jiang Manyun smiled gently at Da Ni and said, "It's alright, take it."
So, steeling her heart, she obediently handed over the red envelope, saying, "Aunt Jiang, I don't want it either."
My heart is bleeding with heartache.
That's two dollars!
That's enough to buy a can of malted milk powder.
But she wanted Aunt Jiang to know that she was the most obedient and sensible one, unlike the little one who just stuffed the red envelope into her pocket.
Jiang Manyun gently pushed it back: "Take it, this is New Year's money from Auntie and Uncle, it only happens once a year."
Once something is given away, there's no reason to ask for it back, especially since it's only worth about twenty yuan.
Da Ni then accepted it.
Erni held a red envelope in one hand and clutched the heavy bag of milk candy in her pocket with the other, thinking to herself, "Aunt Jiang is really rich."
"Let's go buy some firecrackers!"
Chen Erbao, holding the red envelope and candy, happily led the way and ran off, with the others following suit.
Erni stood at the door, somewhat reluctant to leave: "Aunt Jiang, do you have any work to do? I can help."
If Aunt Jiang and Uncle Gu knew how diligent she was, they definitely wouldn't like that lazy and greedy girl, Guabao, anymore.
Helian Jiao hadn't left either; she was sitting on the sofa, eating milk candy and swinging her short little legs.
"What could possibly happen? It's the Lunar New Year, go and have some fun."
Jiang Manyun was unaware of her true intentions and assumed she was embarrassed because she had taken the money. She also thought the child was quite nice.
Erni nodded, unable to hide her disappointment, and glanced at Helian Jiao, saying, "Sweetie, let's go!"
I was thinking of calling her along, otherwise the Gu family would definitely give her the best, just like that bell.
Before Helian Jiao could speak, Gu Tingyun said, "My darling will be coming with us to town to take a family photo later."
Jiang Manyun was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting her son to say such a thing.
However, she was used to him dragging Guaibao along with everything he did, so she didn't say anything. After all, she and Lao Gu also liked this little girl very much.
So he said to Erni, "Erni, go back and tell your grandma that our baby went to town with us and will come back after lunch."
Erni nodded reluctantly and walked out with a heavy heart.
But instead of leaving, he hid outside and peeked inside through the window.
