Old Zhao, unaware that he was wasting his time, continued, "Good child, your grandpa and grandma miss you terribly. Your grandma always tells me that she's her dear granddaughter, but she's never even seen her face, let alone knows her height or weight. Whenever she talks about you, she sighs and sometimes even sheds tears... It always makes your grandpa feel very sad..."
"I finally had the chance to come see you this time. Your grandma brought you all the eggs and brown sugar she had painstakingly saved up, afraid you wouldn't eat a single bite..."
"Those eggs and brown sugar, your grandma wouldn't even give them to your older brothers, Da Long and Xiao Hu."
"Oh, Dalong and Xiaohu are your uncle's two cousins. They said they treat you like their own little sisters and invited you to come over to their house to play..."
Old Zhao's thick lips moved incessantly, drool flying everywhere as he mumbled incessantly, his central message being: "My entire Zhao family loves our granddaughter Yunduo dearly, and we all hope she can come to our house. It's not just a visit; if she likes it, she can treat it like her own home and stay there indefinitely."
Actually, Old Zhao hadn't planned to say these things in a hurry. However, seeing Yun Duo completely oblivious to what he was saying, and looking utterly bewildered, spurred him on. He poured out all the things that had been swirling in his mind for so long, things he had originally intended to tell Yun Duo gradually. He didn't care whether it was too early to say them now.
These words clearly revealed what Old Zhao and his group were planning. Therefore, they successfully provoked the dissatisfaction of Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi.
Yun Dazheng's initial enthusiasm and embarrassment turned into anger. He shoved the basket in Zhao's hands and said with a forced smile, "Brother Zhao, I understand what you're saying. Your family is struggling financially. These few eggs you brought were saved up by your whole family, barely enough for Duo'er... If you ask me... you should take these eggs back. It's almost New Year's, isn't it? If you haven't bought meat, you can at least fry some eggs for a meat dish. Anyway, our chickens have been laying eggs for a while now, and Duo'er is eating two a day and she's getting tired of them." As he spoke, he looked at Yun Duo and asked, "Right, Duo'er?"
Yun Duo nodded vigorously, exclaiming somewhat exaggeratedly, "Yes, yes, Grandma makes me eat eggs every day, saying that eggs are good for your health. I feel like I'm turning into an egg flavor! If Grandma didn't try to come up with new ways to cook eggs every day, I wouldn't be able to eat them anymore." As she spoke, she even showed a troubled expression.
Hearing that Yun Duo ate two eggs every day, which was so extravagant, Old Lady Zhao could hardly hide the jealousy in her eyes.
When will she be able to live such a good life, eating two eggs a day?
Thinking it over, Grandma Zhao quickly forced a smile and said to Yun Duo, "It's okay, Duo'er. If you don't want to eat eggs, we'll eat something else. Go to Grandma's house and play. Whatever you want to eat, Grandma will make it for you. I promise you'll eat until your belly is round and full every meal."
