"Okay." Yun Dazheng nodded with a smile, then said mysteriously to Yun Duo, "Duo'er, come here, Grandpa has something good for you."
"Okay, okay." Yun Duo blinked, guessing that the good thing Yun Qishi was talking about was related to her. She excitedly ran to Yun Dazheng and looked at him with her big, bright eyes.
"Ta-da~" Yun Dazheng made the sounds and tones that adults usually use to coax children. His eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Yun Duo. Finally, he suddenly took out a schoolbag from behind his back, held it in front of Yun Duo, and said with a smile, "Little Duo, look what this is?"
The backpack that Yun Dazheng took out wasn't particularly nice; it was just a very ordinary crossbody bag. But Yun Duo's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed happily, "Wow! It's a backpack! Did Grandpa buy it for Duo'er specially?"
Yun Dazheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Grandpa bought it especially for our Duo'er. Do you like it?"
"I love it, I love it!" Yun Duo nodded vigorously, then said, "Thank you, Grandpa, I love it so much!" Having a schoolbag meant that Grandpa Yun was about to take her to school. Yun Duo naturally didn't expect to learn much at school, but with this opportunity, she could explain many things with a reason. A simple "I read it in a book" could solve many problems, and she wouldn't have to be as hesitant as before. Therefore, Yun Duo was truly overjoyed.
"If you like it, open it and take a look. There's something else inside," Yun Dazheng said with a smile.
"Mmm." Yun Duo nodded vigorously, unbuttoned her backpack, opened the flap, and found a drawstring inside with a slipknot. She untied the drawstring and pulled it open, revealing pencils, a knife, and notebooks.
Yun Duo was overjoyed. She was now certain that Yun Dazheng was really going to take her to school. She couldn't help but hug the schoolbag to her chest. After a while, she said, "Thank you, Grandpa. Duo'er likes it very much, she likes it very much!"
As Yun Duo said this, she exuded a sense of satisfaction, which made Yun Dazheng feel even more that he had done the right thing.
Yun Dazheng said, "I'll have your grandma make you a pencil case later, so you can put your pencils and knife in it and not lose them."
Yun Qi said from the side, "You should only buy pens, notebooks, and a small knife. I can make a schoolbag like this in a day, and it won't be any uglier than the one you bought." She was a little reluctant to spend the money. Even without the money she 'lent' to Yang Damei that morning, in Yun Qi's eyes, buying things that she could make herself was a waste.
“I know, I know,” Yun Duo immediately said, hugging her little schoolbag and looking at Yun Qi Shi, “Grandma’s things are definitely prettier than the ones sold in stores, but Duo’er knows that Grandpa doesn’t want Grandma to strain her eyes, so he’s buying them. Grandpa is just worried about Grandma!”
Madam Yun Qi knew this too. However, she was still a little embarrassed by her granddaughter calling her that so directly. But the old couple had a good relationship and often expressed it, so Madam Yun Qi didn't argue with Yun Duo because she was embarrassed. She just said to Yun Duo, "Alright, even if you like it, you have to fill your stomach first. Go put down your schoolbag and then go pick some cucumbers for Grandma to stir-fry with meat." Then she said to Yun Dazheng, "Alright, old man, go and bring Xiang Wen over first, so that if you bring Xiang Wen after they've eaten, he won't eat much."
