Chapter 77 Going to the Xu Family

After entering, Su Nuannuan went to make tea for Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan wandered around the courtyard by herself. Finally, she came to the living room.

However, Shen Yuan discovered that the living room was completely bare, with nothing inside.

She frowned.

Then I realized that Su Nuannuan had just moved in and hadn't had time to buy anything yet. So, I could understand why the living room was so empty.

After Su Nuannuan brought over two enamel mugs, Shen Yuan said to her.

"Nuan Nuan, your room is too empty. Come to my house later and I'll bring you some things."

Su Nuannuan's first reaction upon hearing this was to refuse.

"No, godmother. I plan to go to the department store to buy it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan shook his head in disapproval.

"Keep your money yourself, and give me the rest."

After saying that, he didn't give Su Nuannuan a chance to refuse.

"Alright, Nuannuan, let's go to my house after we finish our tea."

Su Nuannuan had no choice but to nod.

Although Shen Yuan appears gentle, she is actually quite assertive at heart. At least, Su Nuannuan cannot resist her in the slightest.

After the two finished their tea, Su Nuannuan left with Shen Yuan, carrying her gifts.

Shen Yuan arrived on a bicycle, with Su Nuannuan sitting behind him as Shen Yuan led her home.

"Godmother, why didn't Sister Yalan come with you today?"

“Something happened at your school that required her to go there. After she told me where you lived, she went to the school.”

Su Nuannuan frowned.

She clearly remembered that the teachers had the day off on Saturdays and Sundays. What could be at school that would require Yalan to go to school during the holidays?

Su Nuannuan felt that this matter was definitely not simple.

It seems I'll have to ask Sister Yalan about this later.

Shen Yuan rode her bike very smoothly, and Su Nuannuan didn't feel any bumps. Of course, this was also related to the smoothness of the road.

Su Nuannuan sighed inwardly, "It really has to be the capital of China." She couldn't even imagine how bumpy the road would be in a small county town.

Shen Yuan led Su Nuannuan through a series of alleyways, making several turns, until they stopped in front of a courtyard gate.

"Nuan Nuan, we've arrived."

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, Su Nuannuan got off the bicycle.

She looked at the courtyard in front of her, inside which was a two-story Western-style house surrounded by high walls. The exterior of the house was painted white with lime, and there were stone statues carved on the walls, making it look very stylish.

"Godmother, this is your home."

Shen Yuan nodded, and seeing Su Nuannuan's surprised expression, she smiled.

"Don't be fooled by how nice my house is; I actually got it from a foreigner at a bargain price. It didn't cost much at the time."

Shen Yuan wasn't lying. She and Xu Heyi bought the house with their savings. At the time, China had just stabilized, and housing prices hadn't yet stabilized, so they got a bargain.

Su Nuannuan thought about the history and expressed her understanding.

Looking at the Western-style buildings standing there, Su Nuannuan felt a pang of unease. Her godmother's family's future didn't look good either.

However, there's no use thinking about it now. Nothing has happened yet, and Su Nuannuan thinks it's best not to reveal too much. She'll remind her godmother's family when things get heated.

Su Nuannuan could only think this in her heart.

Although she didn't know what Shen Yuan's parents did, she knew that her family must be well-off just from the fact that she was given a jade bracelet.

Even if she reminds them to restrain themselves now, it won't have much effect. Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi have been in Beijing for many years, and people who know them probably know about their family's wealth; no matter how much they try to hide it, it can't be concealed.

Moreover, even if they really dealt with everything, they would still become targets of criticism in the future. Su Nuannuan felt that it was better to wait for the right time to remind them. Su Nuannuan thought the same way about Yu Weiwei. Therefore, Su Nuannuan no longer advised Yu Weiwei to restrain her behavior.

After Shen Yuan brought Su Nuannuan in, Xu Xiaotian came down from the second floor.

When Xu Xiaotian saw Shen Yuan bring Su Nuannuan in, he ran over and stopped half a meter away from Su Nuannuan.

He gave Su Nuannuan a sweet smile and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Sister, you are here."

Su Nuannuan stroked Xu Xiaotian's soft hair and gave him a smile.

"Yes, Xiaotian, it's been a few days. Have you missed your sister?"

"think."

Xu Xiaotian answered without hesitation.

Seeing Xu Xiaotian's anxious look, Shen Yuan laughed out loud.

"You don't know that Xiaotian knew you were coming yesterday, and he urged me to pick you up first thing this morning."

"Mom~"

Feeling a little embarrassed by his mother's teasing, Xu Xiaotian covered his face with his hands, trying to hide himself from her.

Su Nuannuan and Shen Yuan were surprised by Xu Xiaotian's reaction and were amused by him.

After laughing, Shen Yuan said to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, I'm going to call my grandfather back now. You can stay home and let Xiao Tian keep you company."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

She had learned about her godmother's family situation beforehand, and that her godfather's parents had passed away, while her godmother's parents were still alive. To take care of her godmother's parents, they lived near her home.

Su Nuannuan only knew this much; she didn't know anything else.

After Shen Yuan left, only Su Nuannuan and Xu Xiaotian remained in the living room.

At this moment, Xu Xiaotian looked at Su Nuannuan and said.

"Sister, would you like to read a book?"

Su Nuannuan thought about it and nodded in agreement. She was a bit bored anyway, so reading a book to pass the time wasn't a bad idea.

After hearing this, Xu Xiaotian went to a small cubicle. When he came out again, he was carrying several books.

The book wasn't very big or thick; it was more like a small booklet.

Xu Xiaotian placed all the books in front of Su Nuannuan and said to her.

"Sister, you choose. These are all storybooks that Grandpa made for us."

Upon hearing Xu Xiaotian's words, Su Nuannuan showed a surprised expression.

"Did your grandfather make these books?"

Xu Xiaotian nodded and pushed the books toward Su Nuannuan.

It was only then that she realized the books were all sewn together. This was clearly hand-bound.

Looking at the titles of the books, they are all historical novels about ancient China, such as "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage," "The Oath of the Peach Garden," "Wu Song Fights the Tiger," and "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty." It seems that Xiao Tian's maternal grandfather has put a lot of effort into his upbringing.

Su Nuannuan opened a book and found that the stories inside were all written by hand, with small illustrations next to them, making them look beautiful and interesting.

Now, Su Nuannuan finally believed that these books were made by hand.

Grandpa Xiaotian's educational philosophy is truly ahead of its time; he's already producing children's books that only existed in his previous life.

Su Nuannuan felt that people in this era were not to be underestimated; as long as you gave them a little idea, they could surprise you.

The language in these storybooks was childlike, yet not lacking in wisdom. Su Nuannuan found herself engrossed in them without even realizing it.
