Chapter 482: Chapter 482: A Little Girl Who Looks Like Her (4)_1 Chapter 482: Chapter 482: A Little Girl Who Looks Like Her (4)_1 Upon noticing that Ruan Jiaojiao’s hair had been cut, he pushed her slightly away to take a closer look and nodded seriously, giving a high level of praise, “Hmm, it’s beautiful. You’re grandma’s good baby indeed, looks good no matter how it’s cut.”
“Grandma, you’re spoiling again,” Ruan Jiaojiao laughed. Although she said this, which little girl doesn’t love to hear such words? Her smile was about to reach the root of her ears.
Following behind, Ruan Jian/Guo ca in carrying her schoolbag and also said with a smile, “Right, I’ve always said our Jiaojiao looks good with any haircut. She just wouldn’t believe it.”
Turning his eyes to the hoe next to Mrs. Ruanlin, his brows furrowed again, “Mom, didn’t we agree that you wouldn’t do these things anymore? If you’re in a hurry, I’ll dig it out for you even if I have to do extra work at night.”
“I’m just moving my muscles a bit, I’m nowhere near unable to move, and don’t you try to control !” Mrs. Ruanlin snorted coldly, utterly unconcerned by his stern face.
Next to her, Ruan Jiaojiao asked, “Can Jiaojiao manage it, then?”
Mrs. Ruanlin imdiately burst into hearty laughter, “Of course, I’m under Jiaojiao’s control. If Jiaojiao says grandma shouldn’t work, then grandma will stop.”
“Mhm, then grandma has to rember her own words. If I see grandma doing this again next ti, Jiaojiao is going to be angry,” Ruan Jiaojiao said, feigning seriousness, causing Mrs. Ruanlin to laugh even more.
Dinner was prepared by Shu Jiao.
At the dinner table, Ruan Jiaojiao spoke about her possibility of skipping a grade.
Mrs. Ruanlin comnted, “Good, our treasure is smart, and skipping a grade is reasonable.”
Ruan Jian/Guo was a bit worried, “Won’t it be too soon? If we calculate it, our treasure will still be a minor when she goes to college. If she skips grades again in between, she will be too young, and there will be no one to look after her outside.”
“Dad, I’m only in the first grade now.” Thinking about college already, isn’t it too early?
“Dad was just saying, darling, if you want to skip a grade, of course, there’s no problem. If it cos to it, dad will go to school with you. We’ll buy a house near the school, so you don’t have to worry about being looked after,” Ruan Jian/Guo said, nodding in self-agreent.
“…” Ruan Jiaojiao.
However, the conversation having reached this point, Mrs. Ruanlin suddenly rembered sothing she had always forgotten. She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and went to her room. When she ca back, she was holding an object wrapped in a red cloth, which was rectangular in shape.
She placed the item in front of Shu Jiao and said, “This was left by your brother Alang the last ti he ca. We might have three wheels, but we can’t catch up with his four. It has been left until now. Give it back to him when you have the chance.”
It was then that Ruan Jiaojiao rembered, this was the money her uncle had left for her.
Shu Jiao skeptically opened the red cloth, saw the two bundles of large-denomination cash inside, and remained unsurprised. She wrapped the money back up calmly and asked, “Did he leave any ssage?”
“He said it’s for Jiaojiao,” Mrs. Ruanlin said.
“Alright, then let’s save it for Jiaojiao, for her dowry in the future,” Shu Jiao said tranquilly.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ruanlin’s expression darkened.
In those days, it was unheard of for uncles to save dowry money for their nieces. Was he looking down on their Ruan Family?
Of course, Mrs. Ruanlin knew that Shu Jiao did not an it this way, but her face still grew unpleasant.
Ruan Jian/Guo quickly kicked Shu Jiao under the table. After glancing at him, Shu Jiao followed his gaze towards Mrs. Ruanlin and could only sigh helplessly, stand up, and return to her room. When she ca back, she also had two wrapped packages in her hands, but hers were wrapped in newspaper.
