"Sis, Yin Yang, I’ll get you guys so sugar water," Xu Minglei said a bit annoyed, then quickly added.
"Good boy, don’t want sugar water, just so plain boiled water will do." Xu Mumu smiled and ruffled Xu Minglei’s hair, her brother is as well-behaved as ever.
"Got it, sis." Xu Minglei imdiately ran off to get the water.
Xu Mumu’s gaze landed on her little brother held by Madam Chen. She hadn’t seen him in several months, and the little guy had changed quite a bit, grew a little taller, still fair and tender, but there were two scratch marks on his face, looking a bit jarring.
"What’s up with little bro?" Xu Mumu reached out gently to touch the little guy’s face. He no longer recognized his big sister, but wasn’t shy, looking at her curiously.
"Scratched himself, really a troublemaker every day." Madam Chen was full of headaches when it ca to her grandson. Honestly, he’s not the first grandchild she’s taken care of, but the one in her arms was the most rambunctious.
"Fengfeng, I’m your sister, call sister." Xu Mumu held Fengfeng’s hand, the little guy wasn’t scared, directly grabbing Xu Mumu’s hand.
"Ah ah ah." The little guy cheerfully replied to Xu Mumu.
"Can only call Nanny though." Madam Chen smiled and pinched the little guy’s small paw, although she complained about him, she was very happy whenever she heard him call her Nanny. After all, she’s the one who spends all day with him, so naturally, her grandson called her first. Her husband was quite jealous when he found out the little one could only call her.
Now Old Xu teaches the little one to call people every day, hoping the little guy would call him second.
"Little dummy." Xu Mumu laughed, pinching the little guy’s nose.
"Nanny, nanny." The little guy obviously didn’t understand what they were talking about, happily grabbing Xu Mumu’s hand.
"Mumu, are you used to university life? Is there anything inconvenient living over there? You guys went so far away for study, no one to take care of you." Old Xu babbled on, although proud that his granddaughter got into the best university in the country, they were worried about her being so far away and constantly thought about her.
"Sir Xu, I’ll get the phone installed when I go back, then you can call Mumu anyti you miss her," Yin Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we’ll also install a phone at ho, then we can call you every day," Xu Mumu said with a smile. Yes, the plan Xu Mumu and Yin Yang cooked up was to install a phone at ho, it sure would dig into her parents’ wallet.
Even draining their savings isn’t enough, she’d have to pitch in a bit, but she’s not short of money, covering that difference is no problem.
"Oh wow, installing a phone, Mumu, are you crazy? Our family can’t afford installing a phone." Madam Chen was startled, she’s gained quite so insight since coming to the provincial city, especially about the wonders of phones. She hasn’t experienced it first-hand, but she’s heard plenty of people bragging, so she knows about these things.
"Yeah, Mumu, don’t make rash decisions, our family doesn’t have money." Old Xu imdiately shook his head, his granddaughter is quite the scher.
"Sir Xu, don’t worry, I have friends who can get insider prices, insider prices aren’t expensive," she thought up the excuse long ago, the plan is to coax them into installing a phone.
Phones are quite handy, when Xu Mumu misses ho, she can call anyti. If anything happens, it can be notified imdiately, writing letters takes at least half a month to be delivered. That period is too long, calling is much more convenient.
"Yes, Grandpa, Yin Yang has lots of friends, really impressive, can get insider goods of anything," Xu Mumu praised Yin Yang in front of the whole family enthusiastically.
"I also think installing a phone is a good idea. I’ve heard our parents miss my little sister several tis. With a phone, they can call her every day," Xu Minghui glanced at his sister silently, still siding with her, just like the last ti she planned to trick their parents.
Xu Minghui thought about how much better life at ho had been recently, thanks to the ideas Xu Mumu gave to Xu Hai before she left. He got quite a few rewards, although not yet officially, becoming official is only a matter of ti. They say that Director Wei thinks highly of him.
Now that their parents have so money again, his sister really doesn’t miss a chance to squeeze them, silently lighting a candle for them in his heart.
"I’ve heard making calls is expensive, talking for a few minutes costs several yuan," as soon as money is ntioned, it’s painful, several yuan can buy so much at, so much grain, eating frugally can last for days.
Just to talk to their granddaughter, it’s really not worth it, writing letters is better, even if they don’t understand what’s written, Xu Minglei will read it to them.
"No worries, my parents are earning money, aren’t they?" Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"You really are sothing, keep on squeezing them, let’s forget about the phone, your mom has a phone at her work. In the evening, let her jot down the number for you, then if you miss us, you can call your mom’s place." Madam Chen said with a smile.
"It’s still more convenient to have our own, don’t worry, Nanny, I’ll talk to my parents about it." Xu Mumu said calmly.
"This child, really." Madam Chen didn’t know what to say, as she aged, her granddaughter’s ideas got bigger.
Luckily Yin Yang ca in to switch topics, letting them temporarily forget about the phone installation.
Xu Minghui smirked, this matter probably won’t pass, their parents will have to fork out the money.
Xu Minghui put away the things Xu Mumu and Yin Yang brought back, then ca out to join the conversation.
Xu Mumu ate two pieces of snacks, but the little brother ate more, his little face was covered in crumbs, looking like a little flower cat.
"Fengfeng, can’t eat anymore." Madam Chen carefully wiped the crumbs from the corners of his mouth, the little guy has a good appetite, eating quite a lot every ti, but he’s too young, they really didn’t dare give him too much.
"Nanny, nanny." Seeing the snack plate placed far away by Nanny, his little hand couldn’t reach it, so he looked at her pitifully wanting more.
"Drink so water, these are for your brothers and sisters." Madam Chen held the enal cup, bringing the water to the little one’s mouth.
"Nanny." The little one stubbornly continued reaching out.
"Minghui, put the stuff away, this little scoundrel ate several pieces today." Madam Chen was having a headache, it’s better to keep the snacks out of his sight, less chance of him throwing a fit.
Xu Minghui put the things away and imdiately, crying erupted from the house, Xu Mumu was caught off guard, their little brother sure was troubleso.
