Chapter 335: My Grandfather
Granny Lu was rolling out dumpling wrappers at an impressive speed, and each one was uniformly thin, which made stuffing the dumplings a breeze. Back when the whole family gathered for meals, it was Granny Lu who did all the cooking. The Du Family favored sons over daughters, and Granny Lu certainly suffered her share of hardships living with them. Only now, in her old age, has she begun to live a life where she doesn’t go hungry or cold. As such, she’s a content soul, and very kind-hearted.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t possibly allow a stranger to walk into her house so casually, offering them noodles to eat and water to drink.
The old man outside was still seated there, unmoving. Conghua would occasionally glare with her shrewd eyes, steadfastly watching people. If someone moved even a little, Conghua would react in kind.
"Sigh..." Granny Lu heaved a sigh. "The poor thing, probably scared from hunger. After we finish making the dumplings, let’s give him a bowl to eat and some money too."
Qin Xiangnuan had no objections. Giving was just giving, after all. It was only some money and a meal.
The two made quite a number of dumplings. Taotao didn’t need to be picked up, as Jian Zhiqin would come to collect him after school. Taotao’s classes ended half an hour later than Jian Zhiqin’s, and unless Jian Zhiqin had school duties or there were school affairs to deal with, Taotao would always be picked up by him.
"Granny, we’re back."
As expected, not long after, Zhiqing returned, holding Taotao’s little hand. They would be hungry upon arrival, especially since he had sneakily eaten some of Taotao’s snacks; otherwise, he truly might have starved.
"Granny, Taotao is back," called out Taotao in a babyish voice as soon as he crossed the threshold.
