"His father, is Yongcheng back from get off work?"
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the yard, Grandma Mei Cuiping came out of the low and dim kitchen wearing a patched apron that was washed white.
Yunmian's gaze suddenly fell on her grandmother, and her eyes became even more sore and moist.
My grandparents are only in their forties, their hair is not yet gray, and their backs are not yet hunched.
In her previous life, Yun Mian witnessed her grandparents lying in the hospital groaning in pain due to illness, and finally witnessed her grandparents passing away with their emaciated bodies due to ineffective rescue. Now, seeing her healthy and energetic grandparents, she was extremely excited and shocked.
"This is uncle's house, Xiaomian, let's go in."
She didn't even hear Yun Yongcheng talking to her.
Yun Yongcheng noticed that she was staring at the yard in a daze, and thought she was shy, so he had to open the gate and comfort her with gentle words.
"Xiaomi, don't be afraid. The grandparents in the yard are your uncle's parents."
Yun Mian finally came back to her senses, blinked her eyes and subtly held back the tears of excitement that were about to burst out, then followed Yun Yongcheng into the yard.
Yun Aiguo and his wife noticed Yun Mian. They were surprised for a moment, and then Mei Cuiping asked Yun Yongcheng.
"Yongcheng, this child is...?"
"Hello grandma, hello grandpa."
Yun Mian pulled her little hand out of her father's big hand, stood up straight, and then bowed politely to Yun Aiguo and his wife, speaking in a baby voice.
"My name is Yunmian, and I'm an orphan. It was so late, and Uncle Yun was worried that I might get into danger outside alone, so he brought me back."
Yunmian spoke in a baby voice while raising her eyelids to observe the expressions on her grandparents' faces.
In my previous life, although my grandparents held me in their hands for fear of me falling, and held me in their mouths for fear of me melting, now I am just a stranger to them. In this era of food and clothing shortages, my father suddenly brought me back, and my grandparents couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Afraid that Yun Aiguo and his wife would blame Yun Yongcheng, Yun Mian quickly took all the responsibility on himself.
"I had nowhere else to go, so I pestered Uncle Yun. Uncle Yun is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see me suffer, so he brought me back. Please, Grandpa and Grandma, don't blame Uncle Yun."
Yun Mian chattered a lot, completely unaware of the surprised expressions on Yun Aiguo and his wife's faces.
Mei Cuiping: "Child, how old are you?"
Yunmian looked at her grandmother, her big eyes blinking, somewhat confused as to why her grandmother suddenly asked her age.
"Grandma, I'm six years old."
A hint of admiration flashed in Mei Cuiping's eyes.
"This child is only six years old, and he's really good at talking."
Yun Aiguo: "This child has been protecting Yongcheng. He is really sensible."
The couple felt an inexplicable closeness to the child.
Mei Cuiping waved at Yun Yongcheng and Yun Mian, "Since you've brought them back, go inside, wash your hands, and have dinner. If you have anything to say, we can talk after dinner."
Yun Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed Yun Yongcheng into the low and dim kitchen.
She was grateful that her grandparents didn't just use a broom to chase her out, their granddaughter who had just appeared out of nowhere. However, Yun Mian didn't feel completely at ease. From what she had heard from her grandparents, they only allowed her to stay temporarily, and her father didn't explicitly say that he wanted to adopt her.
