Chapter 55 Grandma Xia Explains

Xia Chuyi suppressed a smile, she knew that Mrs. He must be very surprised. Mother Xia was notoriously stingy, yet she was willing to bring out something nice?

Back when the He Family and Xia Chuyi were arranging the engagement, Mrs. He visited the Xia Family but never received such treatment.

Soon, Xia Mei came out from the inner room with a bottle of yangmei preserves in a glass jar.

"Auntie, try these preserves, they're really sweet!"

Xia Mei, with a smile beaming across her face, handed the jar to Mrs. He.

In those days, canned goods were quite a rarity.

"Oh my, Auntie, you're too kind!" Mrs. He hastily demurred, her eyes lighting up with delight at the sight of the preserves.

Mrs. He casually complimented Xia Mei, "Oh my, it's been so long since I've seen Da Mei, she's getting more and more handsome!"

Her comment made Xia Mei blush shyly, set down the jar, and hide behind Aunt Xia, "Look what Auntie is saying!"

Xia Chuyi was holding back laughter inside.
