He did not expose Yunmian and let Yunmian continue speaking.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm sorry I've caused you trouble."
Yun Mian's sobs became nasal and her voice became even more childish. Her eyes were watery and red from crying, like a frightened deer, which was very pitiful.
Mei Cuiping originally planned to ask Yun Yongcheng to send Yun Mian to the police station on his way to work tomorrow, but now she is completely soft-hearted.
"Xiao Mian, are you full?"
Yun Mian stuffed a mouthful of mixed grain rice in her mouth and was about to swallow it before answering her grandmother when she heard her grandmother instructing her grandfather, Yun Aiguo, "Look how hungry this child is. Poor thing! There are eggs in the chicken coop. Dad, go pick up two eggs from the chicken coop, add some lard, and steam them to nourish this child."
Yun Yongcheng looked at his mother with a twitching mouth.
There was only so much lard at home. Sometimes when Dad was tired from working in the fields and wanted to add a small spoonful of lard to his noodles, Mom would nag him for a long time. Now she even asked Dad to use lard to nourish Xiaomian.
It seems that Xiaomian and her mother really get along well.
Yun Yongcheng was somewhat nervous about bringing Yun Mian back without permission, fearing that the old couple would be unhappy. But now, seeing that the old couple got along so well with Yun Mian, Yun Yongcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at his wife waving at him urgingly, Yun Aiguo remembered something.
"Damn, aren't those eggs in the chicken coop used to hatch chicks?"
Mei Cuiping: "It's only been in the nest for two or three days, it's still edible."
Yun Aiguo stood up and strode out. Soon the sound of hens clucking and flapping their wings came from the yard. A few minutes later, Yun Aiguo walked in covered in chicken feathers, holding an egg that had been incubated warmly by a hen in one hand.
Mei Cuiping saw that he was covered in messy feathers and looked so miserable.
"I asked you to pick up two eggs from the chicken coop. How did you get yourself into this state?"
Yun Aiguo felt aggrieved when his wife scolded him.
"The hen in our house was protecting her chicks. I went to the chicken coop to pick up eggs, and the hen fluttered over and landed on me, pecking me violently."
Yunmian: “…”
She didn't want to eat eggs. She just wanted to stay with her grandparents and dad. As long as she could stay with her grandparents and dad, she would be willing to eat coarse food.
But Yunmian was so happy that her grandparents loved her so much that they made eggs for her as soon as they met her.
When Mei Cuiping was steaming eggs for Yunmian, she was generous enough to scoop a spoonful of lard into the bowl of egg liquid for the first time ever. Yun Yongcheng looked at Yunmian with envy.
This little thing is so charming! Just a few words won over my mother, who usually wants to break a dime into two halves.
After a while, the low and dim kitchen was filled with the aroma of steamed eggs with lard. Yun Aiguo and his son couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they smelled the fragrance. Mei Cuiping picked up a bowl of hot egg custard and placed it directly in front of Yun Mian without even looking at them.
"Mianmian, eat it while it's hot."
In just a short while, it had changed from Xiaomian to Mianmian.
This name made Yun Mian's eyes sore and moist again. She quickly lowered her head, blinked, and tried hard not to let the tears fall.
In her previous life, her grandparents, parents and grandparents called her Mianmian in such an affectionate way.
Seeing that she just kept her head down, staring at the bowl of egg custard without touching it, Mei Cuiping asked, "What's wrong with Mianmian? Don't you like steamed eggs?"
"This egg custard smells delicious. I like it very much. I like all the food that grandma cooks."
Yunmian raised her head, picked up the coarse porcelain spoon in front of her, put the first spoonful of egg custard into grandma's bowl, gave the second spoonful to grandpa, and the third spoonful to dad.
"The egg custard is delicious, and it tastes even better when we eat it together."
