Having successfully angered Wang Shufen, who clearly harbored ill intentions but insisted on pretending to be a good person, Yun Duo felt a little smug. Even the faint melancholy that suddenly welled up in her heart was forgotten.
Yes……
Although she didn't want to admit it, Yun Duo was still a little unhappy about Zhou Huiyu leaving the small town to return to the capital, and that she probably wouldn't come back.
She couldn't bring these emotions back with her, so she had to process them outside first and go back when she felt better.
"Grandpa/Grandma, I'm home!"
Because of her mood, when Yunduo came in, the words "Grandpa" and "Grandma" she called out had a cheerful and carefree tone, as if she were very happy.
Hearing this sound, the elderly couple couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Yun Qi smiled and waved to Yun Duo, saying, "Is it cold outside? Come and warm yourself by the fire for a while." Then she smiled again and pointed to a small handful of peanuts in a small bowl, saying, "Your grandpa just grabbed a handful of peanuts and asked me to roast them for you, saying they'd taste good when you get back and make your mouth smell nice. It's perfect right now."
"Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Grandma." Yun Duo smiled and moved closer to the two elderly people, sitting down beside them. She peeled a peanut, gently rubbing off the skin with her fingers, then popped the peeled peanut into her mouth. Finally, she deliberately squinted her eyes and said with great satisfaction, "It smells so good. No wonder it was roasted by my grandpa and grandma; the taste is just different."
"You little rascal, you're so good at sweet-talking us." The two elderly people shook their heads with a smile.
All the cured pork and sausages at home were given away. Even if we bought more meat to cook, we wouldn't be able to eat them until the Lunar New Year. The older folks don't mind; they eat meat anyway, whether it's fresh or sausage, it doesn't matter. But the children are still young…
Worried that Yunduo might be tempted, the two elderly people came up with a plan to make up for it by giving their little granddaughter a treat.
However, there wasn't much good food in the countryside these days. Just tossing a few peanuts into a roasting basket and roasting them was enough for a snack.
Of course, it's not just peanuts...
"I'll have your grandpa go cut some meat tomorrow, and then Grandma will go dig up some appetizing and spleen-strengthening stems to make you bamboo tube meat, okay?" Seeing Yun Duo eating with relish, Yun Qi said with a smile.
"Oh, bamboo tube meat! Great! Grandma's bamboo tube meat must be delicious!" Yun Duo nodded vigorously, and then threw herself into Yun Qi's arms, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Wow, my grandma is so good, so wonderful! You are the best grandma in the world!"
Speaking of which, she had eaten these things when she was very young (in her previous life). At that time, her spleen and stomach were not very good, so her mother would always go and get some herbal roots and pieces that could improve her appetite and strengthen her spleen. She would chop them up with meat, either steam them with orange peels for her to eat, or put them in bamboo tubes and cook them for her to eat.
Hearing her grandmother say that, Yun Duo suddenly felt a pang of sadness. She couldn't help but miss home... In order not to let the two elderly people notice anything amiss, she deliberately kept nodding vigorously and snuggled into Yun Qi's arms to "act cute," just to hide her little face and eyes.
Without looking in a mirror, Yunduo knew that her eyes must be red right now.
"This silly child... she hasn't even tasted the bamboo tube meat yet, and she's already acting like a spoiled child with her grandma..." Looking at her little granddaughter snuggling in her arms, Yun Qi couldn't help but gently pat her head with her withered hand.
