70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 320: Looking at Photos

"Grandma?" The little one’s eyes fell on Grandma. The little one loved calling out "Grandma" more than anything else, and besides this word, he couldn’t say much, even though he was already a year and a half. He only knew how to call Grandma.

"Go on, your sister likes you so much, let her hold you." Madam Chen said calmly, helping Xu Mumu tidy up her things.

Xu Mumu picked up the little guy, who felt a bit shy and kept staring at Xu Mumu.

"Call your sister." Xu Mumu pinched the little one’s cheek, which was soft and irresistibly cute.

"Where’s Yin Yang? Why didn’t he come back with you?" Madam Chen asked about Yin Yang as soon as she finished arranging Xu Mumu’s things.

"He had some matters to attend to back in his hometown, so he’ll be coming a bit later." Xu Mumu replied while pinching her little brother’s cheek, laughing as she spoke.

"I see." Madam Chen nodded. The family wasn’t too familiar with Yin Yang’s situation back home, and it wasn’t their place to ask. They were mainly concerned about the feelings between Xu Mumu and Yin Yang, worried that they might have had an argument or something.

The Old Xu Family held Yin Yang in high regard, at least hoping that there wouldn’t be any problems between the two.

"Has my brother and Minglei not started their vacation yet?" Xu Mumu asked curiously.

"Not yet, Minglei is already taking exams, and as for Minghui, it seems his teacher has some matters to discuss with him, so he hasn’t returned yet." Madam Chen explained the situation of the two grandsons.

"I thought they would get their vacation before me." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"All the other schools in the provincial capital have started their vacation, but Minglei’s school is still having exams." Madam Chen began complaining about this matter as well.

The school Xu Minglei attended was the best in the provincial capital, which placed a high emphasis on students’ performance, naturally delaying the exams by a few days.

"You wouldn’t know, seeing how hard Minglei is studying, he’s lost quite a bit of weight. Even though we’ve been eating well at home, he hasn’t put the weight back on." Madam Chen lamented with concern.

"Maybe he’s lost weight because he’s grown taller, gone through a growth spurt." Xu Mumu said with a smile. She didn’t find it overly concerning because with the effort Xu Minglei was putting in now, he wouldn’t have a hard life in the future.

In fact, the family didn’t know that Xu Minglei was trying to compete with Xu Jiaojiao and the others. A few days ago, they had finished their exams and received good grades, so naturally, Xu Minglei didn’t want to fall behind. Since he had a few more days before his exams, he worked even harder.

Xu Jiaojiao and her classmates’ achievements spurred him on, and despite being in the provincial capital, top students were plentiful in his class, and he never managed to come first.

To maintain his good grades, he had to work even harder.

In Madam Chen’s eyes, this made her even more distressed. While others seemed to treat studying like a game, her family members seemed to get more exhausted with each one.

"How could that be? I watched with my own eyes, and it only takes a few months. How much could he have grown? He didn’t grow taller at all." Madam Chen said with a pained heart.

"Lucky Minglei didn’t hear you say that, otherwise he’d probably cry." Xu Mumu laughed and said. The little one was most anxious about growing up quickly. If he knew Madam Chen said he hadn’t grown at all, luckily he’s taking exams, he wouldn’t be aware of Grandma’s complaints at this moment.

"Had I known, I wouldn’t have sent him to that school. If he went to a different school, he’d be on vacation by now." Madam Chen continued ranting to herself.

"Exactly, he’s so tired every day, coming home and doing homework takes forever, and he has to read for a long time too." Originally, Old Xu wasn’t as concerned, but with Madam Chen’s chatter, he felt genuinely sympathetic.

Originally, the boys in the brigade were raised quite simply. The boys of the Xu Family were also raised in this way. They never shirked their responsibilities, though with so many family members, often there wasn’t much work that needed their attention.

So, the Old Xu Family children had a relatively good time in the brigade, apart from the second branch who wasn’t as well off, because Madam Chen didn’t like them.

Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched. Okay, no wonder the siblings turned out the way they did, being spoiled like this. Luckily, she came along and straightened them out.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I took lots of photos in the Imperial City. I’ll show you them." Xu Mumu immediately pulled out the photos from her backpack.

The backpack wasn’t far, and the little cub wasn’t too heavy. Xu Mumu easily held him and fetched her things.

Although the little guy wasn’t yet familiar with his sister, the familial bond made him curious about her. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Xu Mumu pulled out a pile of photos from her backpack.

"Grandpa, Grandma, look, this is the Great Wall in the Imperial City, and this is the Forbidden City..." Xu Mumu introduced the photos to the old couple, and the little cub also leaned over, curiously looking at the photos. He hadn’t seen photos before, and the scenery in them was new to him, even if the photos weren’t big.

The little one stretched out his paw, trying to grab a photo.

Xu Mumu laughed and placed a photo in his hand, letting him look at it slowly.

The two elders had never been anywhere else, living in a small village and weren’t familiar with places like the Great Wall at all.

But with Xu Mumu explaining beside them, they listened carefully, occasionally expressing amazement.

The little cub didn’t understand any of it, but seeing Grandpa and Grandma marvel, he joined in with his own sounds of awe, having a delightful time.

Old Xu looked at the photos in his hand, deeply touched. This is the benefit of reading more, knowing so many things. If they hadn’t moved to this provincial capital, and if the grandchildren hadn’t been successful, they definitely wouldn’t have had the opportunity to learn about these things. These are truly intriguing, and next time he visited the old guys to chat, he could boast a bit.

Madam Chen held these photos, practically unable to put them down, and snatched the one out of the little grandson’s hand to prevent him from damaging it.

"You little girl, just leaving these photos around like this, what if they get ruined?" Madam Chen carefully straightened each photo as if they were treasures.

"It’s okay, I have many more photos. If you like them, Yin Yang has a camera. We can take more photos and send them to you later." Xu Mumu said nonchalantly. With a camera, it’s easy to take as many photos as you want.

Now she’s like a little rich lady, having earned quite a bit from Huo Qingze. She can easily afford to print the photos, so when she spoke, it was with particular boldness.
