Chapter 271: Call Auntie
"Grandpa, is Aunt upset? I need to explain. Aunt said before she would send us off, but this is too rushed. My uncle is still out on a mission and hasn’t come back yet?"
"Stay calm, your Aunt and Uncle aren’t like that; they must have something to give us."
After a while, Shen Meng came out holding a bundle, looking at the grandfather and grandson with a light laugh.
"I feel a bit embarrassed. I previously told Ah Man that when you and he return to Shangjing, I would make you clothes and personally make some dumplings. But I’ve been so busy recently, I thought I’d buy a set first. Just in case I couldn’t finish, my purchase would also count as a gesture. The dumplings, though, I can make by hand. I’ve already made some; they’ll be ready soon. Once we’ve eaten, we can head out. Ah Man, your and Grandpa’s clothes are here. Aunt will heat some water for you and Grandpa to wash up and change into clean clothes before setting off, all neat and brisk."
Ah Man wiped a tear and forced a smile, saying, "Ah!"
He was surprised for a moment when he took the clothes in his hand; they were unexpectedly heavy. He looked at Shen Meng bewilderingly, but she just smiled, turned, and went back inside to get a clean towel and an enamel basin.
When the grandfather and grandson took the clothes inside, the three young people waiting outside followed them in.
"Mr. Chu, I’m really embarrassed. We came in such a hurry that we forgot to bring clothes for you and Ah Heng."
"It’s fine; my daughter has prepared everything for me, haha, oh wow, everything’s perfectly ready."
Towels, soap, a razor, even menthol cream and hair oil were provided.
