As soon as she got home, Yun Duo went to the courtyard of Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi's house. Actually, it was right next door; there was a gate in the small garden, so she could just go there.
The two elderly people are still awake. They are light sleepers, and if they go to bed too early, they will wake up around two or three in the morning and then be unable to fall back asleep. So, they usually go to bed around ten o'clock at night.
The two of them have recently become obsessed with listening to opera. They are using a radio that Gu Shaoyong brought back from abroad when he visited the country. They play it every day, and when they are in the mood, they will hum along to a couple of parts.
In Yun Duo's opinion, the radio looked very old and clumsy. If someone hadn't specially made a small cart with wheels for them, the two elderly people probably wouldn't have been able to move it.
However, Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi truly treasured that radio, and would put it on whenever they had free time. Even when they were planting vegetables in the yard, they would push it out and place it there.
It was because of this thing, and because Yunduo would visit them in their yard every day, rain or shine, that the two old people's homesickness gradually faded.
The elderly are very frugal. Since they are "nestled" in the main room to listen to the opera, they only need to bring their "ears" and don't need to see anything, so the lights in the living room are not turned on.
However, a lamp was still lit in the courtyard.
Because Yunduo had said before going to the palace that she would come to see them when she returned home, a lamp was specially left on so that Yunduo wouldn't be able to see the way.
As soon as Yun Duo saw the lights on in the yard, the open gate, the dark living room, and the creaking sounds coming from inside, she knew that the two elderly people were waiting for her.
Regardless of whether she is their biological granddaughter or not, her grandparents' love for her has never changed.
Yun Duo felt a warm glow in her heart, feeling incredibly cozy. She walked lightly towards the living room door, calling out as she went, "Grandpa and Grandma, I'm back!" As she spoke, she reached the living room door and immediately turned on the living room light.
This was specially designed by Zhou Huiyu. Not only in the living room, but also in the couple's bedroom, there were more than one light switch, just to make life more convenient for the two elderly people.
Originally, they were going to provide servants, but the old man was unwilling. He felt that he was just a farmer and had never been waited on in his life, so he wasn't used to it. Besides, they weren't so old that they couldn't move. How could they be doing farm work in the village and then become useless and need to be waited on in the city?
Zhou Huiyu and the others thought that the old man was indeed still in good health, and that regular exercise was good for his health, so they didn't insist. They figured they could always get him a replacement if he became immobile later.
"Duo'er is back? Come in quickly, come to Grandpa and Grandma." Yun Dazheng had his eyes closed, but his face was turned towards the door of the living room, and a smile appeared on his old face.
Of course, they kept their eyes closed not because they didn't want to see Yunduo, but because they had just been in the dark and knew that Yunduo would turn on the lights when she came. They felt uncomfortable with their eyes open, so they kept them closed. It had become a habit. Basically, whenever Yunduo came over at night, they would close their eyes as soon as they heard her voice, and then open them again after the living room lights had been on for about ten seconds.
