Chapter 119 Back to School
Although Su Mianmian couldn't buy milk powder, she could buy malted milk powder.

Liangliang and Yueyue are currently drinking malted milk powder. However, the doctor in the military says that children shouldn't drink malted milk powder as it can easily cause indigestion.

Although Liangliang and Yueyue are not showing any major problems right now, Su Mianmian still wrote down what the doctor said.

Seeing Liangliang and Yueyue looking thin and stunted these past few months, Su Mianmian finally panicked. It turned out that malted milk powder really shouldn't be given to babies as a substitute for solid food, so Su Mianmian started searching everywhere for formula.

As soon as the two arrived home, a soldier brought them a package and handed it to them.

"Sisters-in-law, this is your package."

Su Jinjin stepped forward and took it, saying to the young man in the green military uniform.

"Thank you, comrade."

After seeing the deliveryman off, Su Jinjin's eyes finally fell on the package. Seeing her and her second sister's names written on it, she knew it was sent by Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun.

Ever since the famine began in China, Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian had been worried about receiving bad news from home. Previously, they often sent food home.

However, Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun knew that these were items from Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian's in-laws and resolutely refused to accept them. Having no other option, they had to stop sending the food.

Normally, they would receive a letter from home every month to confirm that nothing serious had happened to their family members before they could feel at ease.

However, this situation lasted until the last two months, when it ended.

For the past two months, Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun have been sending them things from home. First came dried sweet potatoes, then grains and cured meat. The two received quite a lot.

I originally thought my parents were having a hard time at home, but I didn't expect them to have any surplus food, so I sent it to them.

Worried that their families might go hungry while sending them supplies, Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian even wrote letters to ask them about it. Then, Su Jianjun told them about digging sweet potatoes in the back mountain and seeing wild boars running into the village, and how everyone worked together to hunt them down.

Although Su Jianjun's words seemed a bit far-fetched, judging from Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun's expressions, they weren't exactly starving.

Besides, if the family were really short of food, my younger sister would definitely cause trouble. The fact that she's so calm now means the family is doing well.

Unbeknownst to the two, the real Su Nuannuan had returned and was still looking at Su Nuannuan with the same eyes she used to have.

Back home, the two opened the package. Unlike the previous times when it was divided into two equal parts, this time Su Mianmian's package was significantly larger than Su Jinjin's.

Moreover, judging from the outline of Su Mianmian's package, it looks like a cylindrical shape.

Su Jinjin noticed and looked at Su Mianmian with shining eyes.

"Could this be baby formula?"

Hearing Su Jinjin's words, Su Mianmian also felt a sense of anticipation and quickened her pace.

However, when Su Mianmian opened the last layer of cloth, the extra thing was actually two cans of malted milk powder.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Su Mianmian's eyes. They had plenty of malted milk powder at home, but it couldn't be a substitute for food for a baby. Drinking it once or twice was fine, but long-term consumption would definitely lead to malnutrition.

"Big sister, take them back for Jinbao and Yinbao to drink. Liangliang and Yueyue don't need malted milk powder right now."

After saying that, he pushed the malted milk powder towards Su Jinjin.

When they asked their family to buy milk powder and malted milk powder before, they didn't know that babies couldn't drink milk powder. Now that Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun have sent the malted milk powder all the way here, it must have cost them a lot of money and favors.

Since the malted milk powder had already been bought, Su Mianmian couldn't send it back. Otherwise, her parents would worry. Su Nuannuan planned to send some money to Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun. Su Jinjin knew that Su Mianmian's family didn't lack malted milk powder, so she didn't stand on ceremony and accepted both cans.

"I'll get you the money in a bit."

Su Mianmian waved her hand, refusing.

"No need. They were all sent by my parents, it's only right that I give them to you."

Although the two were very close, they usually split the gifts sent by Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun equally. They were neither polite to each other nor did they try to take advantage of each other.

So, Su Jinjin held up two cans of milk powder and said...

"Then I'll send the money to my parents."

Unbeknownst to the two, the baby formula they had been longing for was already on its way.

On the other side, after saying goodbye to her family, Su Nuannuan boarded a train bound for Beijing.

When they returned, there were noticeably fewer people. The main reason, of course, was that Su Nuannuan had stayed home for a long time, while everyone else had already taken the train back to Beijing.

She was the only one who dragged it out until the last day.

When they left, Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun originally intended to give Su Nuannuan some money, but Su Nuannuan refused.

The three-day train journey was truly grueling; Su Nuannuan felt like her back no longer belonged to her.

After getting off the train, Su Nuannuan put all the pickled vegetables and dried sweet potatoes that Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun had asked her to bring into her spatial storage. Carrying only a small shoulder bag, Su Nuannuan headed towards the small courtyard house she had bought.

Su Nuannuan returned just the day before the holiday ended.

On the way, Su Nuannuan saw many familiar classmates from Beijing University. However, Su Nuannuan had only met them once and was not very familiar with them.

When Su Nuannuan got home, she noticed that the door of the Chu family across the street was still locked, and there was no one home.

Su Nuannuan had originally planned to send the homemade canned fruit to the Chu family, but it seems she'll have to wait until they return.

After the boy made a batch of canned goods using the spring water, she made five thousand canned fruits using ordinary spring water from her home.

We used up a lot of grapes and strawberries after making canned goods. However, there's still quite a bit left in the space.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan plans to give some of the fruit in her space to people she knows in Beijing.

Su Nuannuan took some supplies out of her spatial storage and divided them into dozens of portions. These included her godparents' family, the Chu family across the street, and her roommates from school.

There are also classmates in the same major.

As the only female student in the clinical medicine program, Su Nuannuan was very well taken care of by her classmates. Even without her request, they would voluntarily reserve the best front-row seats for her. Moreover, she wasn't assigned to clean the classroom.

In her daily life, Su Nuannuan wasn't particularly close to her classmates. However, they still took good care of her. Wang Dong, especially, perhaps because he was the class monitor, would often remind Su Nuannuan about class matters and ask her if she wanted to participate in school club activities.

Su Nuannuan didn't make a big deal out of giving gifts. For her close friends like Hong Xiu, she planned to give them fresh fruit and canned goods. For her classmates, she intended to give each of them a can of food.

Since she makes the canned fruit herself, it won't attract much attention.
