Shen Wanrong guessed that the Jiang family must have a story, but she didn't expect the story to be so tragic.
"It's really not easy for you to support a family alone." Shen Wanrong looked at her softly, "By the way, if you need any help, you can tell me. I will definitely help if I can."
Jiang Yu's eyes turned, thinking that since Grandma Shen lived here, she must be familiar with the situation nearby, so she said, "Grandma Shen, do you know where else has more traffic besides the state-owned restaurant nearby?"
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "You've asked the right person. My daughter Zhuzhu is always running around, and I'm familiar with this area. Go straight down the alley in front and turn right on that street. There's a school with thousands of students from elementary school to high school. There are also several factories nearby, so it's very crowded, especially at mealtimes."
"Thousands of students?" Jiang Yu's eyes lit up. With so many students, even without those workers, he would definitely make a lot of money just by selling food at the school gate.
Students in the city are different from those in the suburbs. Students here don't lack pocket money on a daily basis. If even a small number of them contribute one cent each to her, she can make a profit of two or three hundred yuan a month.
The more Jiang Yu thought about it, the happier she felt. Shen Wanrong looked at her excitement but felt a little confused. She really couldn't understand why she was so happy knowing that there were so many students in the school. Did she want to help her brother transfer to another school?
So Shen Wanrong asked.
Jiang Yu explained that she had good cooking skills and planned to sell some homemade food there.
Shen Wanrong exclaimed "Ouch" and said in surprise: "That's really great. I can see that your cooking skills are not bad. We will have a good meal in the future."
Jiang Yu looked at Shen Wanrong with a question mark on his face and said speechlessly: “Grandma Shen, you haven’t tasted what I made yet.”
Shen Wanrong stretched her neck, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath: “I know it’s delicious without tasting it. It smells so good.”
"By the way, if you go to set up the stall, my other brother will have to go to school tomorrow, so what will happen to Zhou Zhou?"
Jiang Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I want to take him with me."
Shen Wanrong frowned, looking disapproving: "Isn't this bad? There are so many people coming and going on the street, it's easy to lose it if you're not careful."
Jiang Yu smiled faintly: "I can't just leave Zhou Zhou alone at home."
She had thought about the situation that Shen Wanrong described a long time ago, but apart from taking Jiang Yunzhou with her, she had no better way, unless she brought Grandpa Jiang back home. However, the hospital told them that it would be better for the patient to continue to be hospitalized for observation. After half a month, if the condition did not recur, he could go home to recuperate and go for regular checkups in the future.
Shen Wanrong thought for a moment and said, "My Zhuzhu and Zhouzhou get along very well. If you are at ease, you can bring them to my house when you go to set up a stall in the future. I will watch over them for you."
Jiang Yu said sincerely, "Thank you, Grandma Shen, but Zhou Zhou is a little timid and usually likes to stick to me. I'll ask him if he's willing."
Jiang Yu was naturally grateful to Shen Wanrong for offering to help.
But they had just met each other, and she would not easily hand Jiang Yunzhou over to him.
She planned to go out and inquire about the Wei family's situation. If the person was of decent character, this would be a good idea.
The pumpkin pie was ready very quickly. It was golden and shiny, and it made people very appetizing at first sight.
Shen Wanrong picked up one to taste. It was soft, sweet and sticky with the fragrance of pumpkin. After eating it, her mouth was full of sweetness, making people want to eat another one.
Shen Wanrong praised again: “It’s really delicious, sweet but not greasy. I’ve eaten pumpkin pie so many times, and yours is the best!”
Jiang Yu also picked up one and tasted it, nodding: "This pumpkin is good, but it will taste even better if you add some coconut flakes."
Shen Wanrong stared with curious eyes: “What is coconut flakes? Does it really taste better with it?”
Jiang Yu nodded. "Coconut flakes are made by grinding and drying coconut meat. Personally, I prefer the ones with coconut flakes. They have a sweet but not greasy taste, and a light milky flavor. You can't stop eating them."
Shen Wanrong swallowed her saliva, with two big words written on her face: "You said it so fragrantly and so temptingly, I can't wait to eat it."
After she finished speaking, she sighed, her face full of regret: "It's a pity that I didn't see any coconut flakes for sale in Jing City, otherwise I would have wanted to buy some and try the flavor you described."
Wei Zhuzhu, Jiang Yunzhou and other children also like to eat it.
Because there were extra pumpkin cakes, after Shen Wanrong left, she asked Jiang Yunfan to take some to Grandpa Jiang to taste, and she gave the remaining pumpkin cakes to other families in the alley.
The other families lived a little further away, but they still knew about the Wei family's situation.
Jiang Yu tactfully found out that the Wei family were all soldiers, and Shen Wanrong had two sons, the youngest of whom was now an officer in the northwest.
The eldest son died while on a mission many years ago. The family was a martyr. The eldest daughter-in-law was so frightened that she went into premature labor and soon died.
The son and daughter left behind by the eldest son have been taken care of by Shen Wanrong and his wife.
Because their eldest grandson was admitted to a university in Beijing, the two elders were worried about him, so they brought their granddaughter to Beijing to take care of him.
After Jiang Yu inquired about it, he immediately decided to hand Jiang Yunzhou over to the Wei family to help take care of him.
What else could she worry about when she was from such a good family?
Before going to bed that night, she soaked the mung beans in water and got up early the next morning to make mung bean cakes.
After breakfast, she sent the mung bean cake and Jiang Yunzhou to the Wei family.
Seeing that she had specially made mung bean cakes, Shen Wanrong couldn't help but scolded her softly: "Oh, why do you bring things to the door?"
