The woman sitting next to them was quite envious of Tang Yuxin, who was being held in Tang Zhinian’s arms. Although they were all from the countryside, why was his child so fair, tender, and clean? Her little face was really beautiful, with big eyes, and a small mouth, all of it was so white and adorable.

“My child is a bit more behaved and doesn’t dirty her clothes, so she looks cleaner,” Tang Zhinian said modestly. But everyone could hear the pride in his voice.

Tang Yuxin touched her little face. She was cute as a child, but she worried she would become ugly when she grew up. Well, no matter what, she had to grow taller first. At least she wanted to be one meter sixty. It would be a relief if she could reach one meter fifty.

There is no milk for sale now, and milk powder was quite expensive. Plus, she was quite older now. If she continued drinking milk powder, people would laugh at her.

So, what should she eat to grow taller?

Starting from now, she needed to develop a good dietary plan for herself. She couldn’t expect her father to buy her expensive food, so she decided to eat as much as possible from whatever was available around her.

She was always deep in thought and did not talk much. People perceived her as a well-behaved, easy to raise child. In reality, children these days were easy to raise. They could spend a whole day playing with a piece of mud. The older kids took care of the younger ones, and the younger ones cared for the ones even younger. If Tang Yuxin were to live in the city now, she would be considered the first generation of single children. But, in the rural areas, even if they had to fight hard, parents would always try to give birth to a son.

If a family had no male heir, they would be ridiculed for not having anyone to carry on the family name after their death.

However, Tang Zhinian didn’t mind this at all. He had no plans of remarrying. He just wanted to raise his daughter well, let her receive education, get into a good university, and escape from their poor mountainous region.

Upon reaching the city, Tang Zhinian held his daughter’s small hand and took her to buy clothes.

There were no large shopping malls at that time. The supply and marketing cooperatives were transitioning and becoming the People’s Store, where people could sell their own items.

Tang Zhinian bought his daughter a floral cotton jacket. If her cheeks were a bit redder, she would look like a complete country bumpkin. He couldn’t understand the modern aesthetic sense which deemed it tacky.

Regardless, Tang Zhinian liked it, and Tang Yuxin didn’t mind either. Although its flamboyant colors were considered vulgar, which child in the village did not dress like this? Having a new piece of clothing was already a big deal. Some families with poor conditions did not even have new clothes.

Therefore, she was very content and satisfied.

Tang Zhinian also bought some items for the Lunar New Year. He needed to buy couplets, peanuts, to offer to the children who would visit their home.

Even if the adults didn’t eat, the children would definitely need to have some.

No matter the family’s circumstances, he had never ever skimped on anything for his daughter.

Tang Yuxin held onto the corner of her father’s clothes all the time, trying to free up his hands as much as possible for shopping. The lighter bags, she would carry herself.

Tang Zhinian’s shoulders were weighed down by a snake-skin bag, with his daughter in his arms. And carrying all the other bags of shopping, they made their way home. The journey back was undoubtedly tough.
