Mei Cuiping suggested that Yun Mian stay in the welfare home for a while. After thinking about it, she became worried. It was only after Yun Yongcheng persuaded her that she felt relieved.
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm very powerful."
Yunmian crawled out of Mei Cuiping's arms, showing off her little pink fists and her unassuming arm muscles in front of her. She also deliberately puffed out her cheeks, making a fierce look for Mei Cuiping to see.
"Even wild boars are afraid of me. Grandma, have you forgotten? If the kids from the orphanage dare to bully me, I will beat them back."
"But grandma can't bear to leave you."
Although she had only been with this girl for less than twenty-four hours, Mei Cuiping felt as if she had been with her for a long time, and a strong sense of family affection surrounded the two of them.
"You've gone to the welfare home. Grandma's shoulders and back are sore at night. Who will give her a back massage?"
"Grandma, when Xiaomian comes back, I will give you a back massage every night."
Yun Mian turned her little head and looked at her grandfather Yun Aiguo again.
"Grandpa, from now on, Xiao Mian will give you a back massage every night. Xiao Mian wants grandpa and grandma to be healthy and live a long life."
Yun Aiguo finally understood why his wife was so reluctant to part with the girl and was willing to deceive the Wang family in order to adopt her.
This girl is so well-behaved and sensible at such a young age. She won't be much different when she grows up. Even if she is not his biological daughter, it will be good for Yongcheng to raise this girl.
"Okay, Grandpa will be waiting for you to come back."
Yun Aiguo stretched out his hand, which was calloused by the hoe, and gently stroked Yun Mian's rosy cheek.
Mei Cuiping quickly opened his hand.
"Your hands are full of calluses, and Mianmian's face is so tender. Don't scratch it."
Yun Aiguo: “…”
"Yongcheng, go harness the oxcart and take the remaining pork to town to sell for some money. Then go to the town's supply and marketing cooperative to buy Mianmian a pair of shoes, a set of clothes, and some biscuits and candies. You absolutely cannot let Mianmian go hungry in the orphanage."
Mei Cuiping arranged her son's affairs in an orderly manner.
Yunmian originally planned to persuade her grandmother to leave some pork at home, but then she changed her mind and thought that there were no refrigerators or freezers in this era, and it was a hot summer day. Raw pork would become smelly after being left for a day, and eating such pork would be harmful to health. It would be better to sell the pork and make money. She could use the money to buy whatever her grandparents and father wanted to eat from the supply and marketing cooperative, and it would be better to eat fresh food every meal.
After Yun Yongcheng harnessed the family's old ox to a two-wheeled cart and carried the remaining pork onto the cart, Mei Cuiping came out of the kitchen with boiled eggs.
She boiled several eggs that were originally used to hatch chicks in a pot and put them in a cloth bag.
"Yongcheng, these are some eggs I cooked for Mianmian."
Mei Cuiping handed the cloth bag containing the eggs to Yun Yongcheng and carefully reminded him, "Don't forget to give the eggs to Mianmian when you send her to the welfare home."
After giving Yun Yongcheng some instructions, she continued to give Yun Mian some instructions.
"Mianmian, grandma is telling you, these boiled eggs won't go bad even if you keep them for two or three days. Once you enter the orphanage, you must hide the eggs. When you're hungry, take one out and peel it to eat. Don't starve yourself."
Yun Mian suddenly remembered some things from his previous life, and looked at Mei Cuiping with tears in his eyes.
In her previous life, although her family was wealthy, her grandparents always kept good things for her, letting her hide them under her pillow and take them out to eat when she was hungry.
