Chapter 106 Milk Powder
This time, Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting didn't hide anything and told the two of them about Su Mianmian.

As the two eldest children in the Su family, Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian took on the responsibility of caring for their younger siblings and helping with household chores at a young age. Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting also doted on these two children the most.

Four years ago, the two women participated in a matchmaking event organized by the county and both married soldiers from the same military region. Later, they were transferred to Dachen Island in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, along with their husbands. Since then, both families have been stationed on the island.

As is well known, life on the island for 60 years was extremely difficult. All the necessities for daily life on the island had to be purchased from nearby villages and the county town, and even drinking water was supplied from outside.

Su Nuannuan forgot to send something to her two older sisters, and only remembered after Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting reminded her.

However, she knew that malted milk powder was actually made by mixing white sugar, maltose, and milk powder together.

It's fine for adults. However, it's not good for infants and young children whose digestive systems are still very weak.

It's better for babies to drink formula.

Fortunately, Su Nuannuan had some baby formula in her space. She felt she had to find a way to send the formula to her two older sisters.

Besides Liangliang and Yueyue, who were just born to my second sister, my eldest sister also has twin boys, and my second sister has her eldest son. They also need some extra nutrition.

At this moment, Su Nuannuan was extremely grateful that she had stockpiled some milk powder in her spatial storage before her previous life.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'll contact my classmate tomorrow and ask her to send some milk powder over."

Chen Xiuting shook her head when she heard Su Nuannuan's words.

"No need, Liangliang and Yueyue can just drink malted milk powder."

Su Nuannuan disagreed.

“That won’t do. Children are still growing, malted milk powder won’t work, they still need to drink formula.”

Seeing Su Nuannuan's insistence, Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting ultimately said nothing. Instead, they took two hundred yuan from their own home and gave it to Su Nuannuan to buy milk powder.

Although they hadn't bought baby formula themselves, they had checked its price at a department store. A can of regular baby formula cost 68 yuan, almost equivalent to three months' wages for a city worker.

Having witnessed Su Nuannuan's generosity, Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting had no doubt that they couldn't send the milk powder. Therefore, they handed over the money to Su Nuannuan without any worries.

In order not to give herself away, Su Nuannuan accepted the money without hesitation.

My eldest sister's husband and second sister's husband are both kind-hearted people. When she sends the milk powder over, they will naturally transfer the money back to my parents.

However, Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting insisted on sending the two cans of malted milk powder to their two older sisters first. Su Nuannuan couldn't persuade them otherwise, so she didn't stop them, only thinking to herself that she needed to send the milk powder to her two older sisters as soon as possible.

After taking out the malted milk powder, Su Nuannuan also took out a large bag of food that Zhuang Wen had given her and placed it on the table.

"Nuan Nuan, what is this?"

Su Erqiang had a strange intuition about food. When he saw Su Nuannuan take something out again, he subconsciously guessed that it was food.

And it didn't disappoint him; it really did contain food. A whole big bag of imported snacks, including butter cookies, chocolates, meat strips, and filled candies…

"Wow, Nuannuan, these look so delicious."

Su Erqiang was most excited when he saw the food.

He knew a little English, and he recognized all the snack names printed on the packaging. Therefore, Su Erqiang's cravings only intensified.

He had only ever read descriptions of chocolate's taste in books.

Su Daliang and Su Sanquan were also very curious about these foreign snacks. "Nuannuan, where did you get all this foreign food?"

Su Daliang held a candy with the typical English word "Hugh" printed on the wrapper, which he couldn't ignore even if he wanted to.

Nowadays, foreign snacks are either brought back from abroad or purchased from Friendship Stores in China.

However, the Friendship Store is only open to a specific group of people. Therefore, these food items are particularly difficult to purchase.

He was also puzzled as to why his younger sister had so many foreign snacks.

Su Nuannuan chose to tell the truth again this time.

“This is a gift from someone I helped on the train.”

Su Sanquan spoke up at this moment.

"Nuan Nuan, what did you do for him? Why did he give you so many delicious things?"

Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting looked at Su Nuannuan with puzzled expressions. They already thought the mooncakes and malted milk powder were ridiculous enough, and now this foreign snack? If they didn't know these things were expensive, they would have thought Su Nuannuan was trying to subsidize her family in some way.

Su Nuannuan chuckled twice and said to them.

“He’s my classmate, and he’s also from Heilongjiang Province. We were in the same row of seats when we were on the train. He was a little weak and pale when he was on the train, so I helped him. When I got off the train, he insisted on giving me these things.”

After speaking, Su Nuannuan drank a glass of water that Su Daliang had poured for her.

Although Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting suddenly felt that what Su Nuannuan said was a bit far-fetched, they couldn't find any loopholes, so they had no choice but to let it go.

Su Daliang and the other two thought that their younger sister was someone who was favored by good people, so they didn't think much of it.

By this time, aside from the gifts for Yu Weiwei's family, Su Nuannuan had taken out everything she had brought back. Suddenly, she remembered that the grain she had sent from Beijing three days ago should have arrived, so she reminded Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting.

"Dad, Mom, when I came back, I sent 20 jin of coarse grains and 20 jin of rice. They should have arrived at the post office by now. You can go and pick them up this afternoon."

Su Jianjun nodded in agreement. Since his youngest daughter started studying in Beijing, she had been sending back a considerable amount of grain, which was more than enough for the family to eat.

The Su family had become immune to what Su Nuannuan offered. Compared to fruit, mooncakes, and malted milk powder, forty catties of grain was nothing.

Therefore, upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, none of the Su family members showed much excitement.

Since the group had already eaten two roast ducks, Chen Xiuting only made a bowl of porridge for lunch.

She had originally wanted to make noodles for Su Nuannuan separately, but Su Nuannuan had no appetite and refused. She ate a little something and then went back to her room to rest.

On the train, for three days and two nights, whether sleeping or awake, she was sitting, which made Su Nuannuan very uncomfortable, to the point that she didn't get a good night's sleep.

If it weren't for the overwhelming excitement of seeing her family, Su Nuannuan would have fallen asleep right now.

The Su family knew that Su Nuannuan was very tired, so they didn't disturb her and let her rest.

Back in her room, seeing the same furnishings as always, Su Nuannuan felt a warmth in her heart.

The room was spotless, showing that it was cleaned regularly. Moreover, even after she left, her other brothers did not move into her room.

After quickly tidying herself up, Su Nuannuan went to sleep.
