“This child…” Yun Dazheng couldn’t help but shake his head, placing his palm on Yun Duo’s little head and rubbing it, saying with a wry smile, “You tell Grandpa and Grandma not to worry, but I think you’re the one who’s worrying…”
"As a daughter, it's only natural for her to maintain a close relationship with her parents; there's no need to explain so much."
"Alright, alright, Grandpa and Grandma know. Duo'er wants to thank our parents for sending Uncle Wu over and helping us so much. Grandpa and Grandma won't mind at all. Go write the letter now, and while you're at it, please thank them for Grandpa and Grandma. Good girl, go on now."
"Okay, I'm going now." Yun Duo nodded again and ran out quickly.
This time, it really did run away.
"Sigh..." After confirming that Yun Duo had really run away, Yun Dazheng couldn't help but sigh.
Madam Yun Qi couldn't help but shake her head. As she put the folded clothes into the trunk, she said to Yun Dazheng, "You old man, didn't you say you wouldn't overthink things? Then why are you sighing like that?"
Yun Dazheng said, "I didn't mean any harm. It's only natural for children to be close to their parents. Why would I worry?" Although he said that, his tone sounded rather stiff.
"Alright, alright, you weren't overthinking it, it was me who was overthinking it, right?" Yun Qi said with a hint of helplessness.
“Yes, you’re overthinking it,” Yun Dazheng nodded and said.
Old people are like children; sometimes, when people get old, they're not much different from willful children. Although they've only spent about half a year together, Yun Dazheng truly loves Yun Duo.
He once thought that Yun Duo had no one to rely on but him. So, even though he was old and frail, and even though he had actually lived with his eldest son for many years, he still resolutely took Yun Duo and Yun Qi Shi to live in the old house that had not been lived in for many years.
At that time, he was truly sincere, wanting to use his aging body to provide a safe haven for his granddaughter's growth. He had secretly vowed that even if he shed his last drop of sweat and squeezed out his last bit of strength, he would do everything in his power to raise his granddaughter to adulthood.
But one day, the little granddaughter, who had no one to rely on except him, suddenly had a pair of biological parents who loved and doted on her...
His granddaughter no longer needed him, or at least not as much as before. He breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little lost.
Originally, everything the granddaughter said and did showed that in her heart, these two elderly people who were not related by blood were more important to her.
This gave him a sense of relief amidst his disappointment.
It wasn't all for nothing that I spoiled that child.
But now, it seems that her granddaughter's parents are gradually gaining a place in her heart.
This was originally a good thing. Really, rationally speaking, Yun Dazheng also knew this was a good thing. Relationships are always reciprocal; even between parents and children, there's no logic in parents giving unconditionally and children taking unconditionally.
Moreover, for someone like the granddaughter who has never been by her parents' side and has no other emotional connection besides blood ties, such a relationship is even more vulnerable to being worn down.
