"I still want to finish reading a comic book at Sister Yuan Chun’s house before going home," the little fool pleaded eagerly.
Yuan Chun pinched his cheek, "Then go wash your hands and eat dinner."
"Okay, okay, I eat really fast."
It was already past dinner time, and the little fool was feeling hungry by now.
After finishing dinner and reading a comic book, the little fool reluctantly wanted to go home. Yuan Chun handed him a key and told him, "Don’t wait at the door for me next time; wait for me inside the house."
The little fool’s eyes lit up, and he happily held the key, nodding, "Sister Yuan Chun, I’ll be very good, I won’t mess with your things, I can help you clean the house, wash clothes, I can do a lot of things."
Yuan Chun chuckled and pinched his cheek, "No need for you to work, just read comics inside."
Knowing the little fool loved comics, Yuan Chun took out the comics she had collected from various places and filled two whole boxes.
If he reads one comic a day, he could read for two or three years.
When she took the little fool back to the Chen’s house, she coincidentally ran into Vice Factory Director Chen just returning from the hospital at the entrance.
The little fool ran over excitedly shouting, "Dad, Dad, you’re back! Is Grandma better now?"
"Much better, your grandma was asking about you," Vice Factory Director Chen said, then looked at Yuan Chun, "You must be Comrade Wei Yuanchun, our Sanbao must have troubled you."
"Not at all, Sanbao and I are friends, he has helped me a lot."
If it weren’t for Sanbao, Mrs. Chen wouldn’t have enthusiastically helped her find a job, nor would they have waived the rent for the single-room dormitory of Chen the Second for her, not to mention providing her with so much furniture and household items.
So, to be honest, she owed the little fool quite a lot of favors.
Vice Factory Director Chen seemed quite satisfied with her attitude, his stern expression softening a bit, "Your Aunt Chen isn’t home today, so I won’t invite you in this time. Next time, when Aunt Chen is home, come to our house and have a seat, and let Aunt Chen make her best flower tea for you."
"Alright, I’ll definitely visit next time."
Mrs. Chen had helped her find a job and resolved her living situation, she really should visit to express her gratitude.
This weekend, during her day off, Yuan Chun took out some red mushrooms, a bag of dried black fungus, two dried rabbits, two dried fish, a jar of canned food, and a jar of malt milk essence from her storage space.
The canned food and malt milk essence were for Grandma Chen to enjoy.
In the evening, just as dusk was setting in, Yuan Chun carried a backpack and walked the little fool home.
Grandma Chen had just been discharged from the hospital and was sitting in a rocking chair in the yard, listening to the radio and chatting with her little great-grandson.
The little fool led Yuan Chun to the door, shouting, "Grandma, Sister Yuan Chun is here."
Grandma Chen turned her head to look and quickly sat up, smiling warmly, "It’s Yuan Chun, come on in, I haven’t seen you for a while."
"Grandma Chen, I’m off today and finished work early, so I thought I’d come and visit you and Aunt Chen."
Yuan Chun, with great intuition, helped Grandma Chen inside.
Today, Chen and his eldest sister-in-law were also home; the eldest sister-in-law was in the kitchen with Mrs. Chen making dinner, while in the main room, Grandpa Chen, Vice Factory Director Chen, Chen, and Chen the Second were chatting.
Second Sister-in-law Chen, who was pregnant and suffering from severe morning sickness, was resting in her room.
When Yuan Chun entered, she greeted the elders and then took out the things from her backpack, "These are items I gathered from the mountains, and the fish were caught in the river by me, I didn’t spend any money. I can’t finish them all by myself, so I thought I’d bring you some to try."
