"Alright," Tian Miao's grandfather nodded."I'll go pick some autumn pears then. They were ripened yesterday."
"Yes, yes, yes. The ripe pears on this tree are delicious. Old man, quickly go and pick some." Tian Miao's grandmother immediately nodded.
"Alright," Without another word, Tian Miao's grandfather turned and left.
The conversation between Tian Miao's Grandma and Grandpa was so short that Yin ya didn't even have time to react before Grandpa Tian went to pick the pear.
"Thank you, grandma. Thank you, Miaomiao." Looking at the back of Grandpa Tian Miao leaving, Yin ya could only thank him earnestly.
"You're welcome. You're Miaomiao's friend. It's only right for you to eat some pears. " Tian Miao's grandmother chuckled.
"That's right, sister ya, you're welcome. " Tian Miao nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll definitely eat two more later." Yin ya said with a smile.
"That's good. The ripe autumn pears on this tree are different from those sold outside. It's good to eat more and nourish your throat." Tian Miao's grandmother nodded.
"Yes, I haven't eaten fruits that ripen on the tree." Yin ya nodded her head and said.
"Sister ya is really very delicious." Tian Miao said.
"Yes, yes." Yin ya nodded her head and revealed an expectant look.
As Grandpa Tian Miao had gone to pick the autumn pear, Yin ya didn't tell grandma Tian Miao the purpose of her visit immediately. She wanted to wait until everyone was here, which would make it more formal.
About ten minutes later, Tian Miao's grandfather returned with a clean bamboo basket. He seemed to have cleaned himself, for the dirt and dust on his pants and sleeves were gone.
"Da da da." Grandpa Tian Miao walked over quickly. Yin ya caught a glimpse of the autumn pears in the basket. Each of them was big and fresh, with some water droplets on them. Apparently, they had just been picked and had been cleaned.
"Grandpa." Tian Miao was the first to rise, and was about to take the basket from her grandfather's hand when she hesitated.
As for Tian Miao's grandparents, they looked at Yin ya worriedly. Only Yin ya said with her usual expression,""Miaomiao, where are my pears?"
"I'll bring it over to sister ya immediately. " Tian Miao nodded heavily and reached out for the pear with a wide smile.
This time, it was Tian Miao's grandfather who moved aside from the basket, while Tian Miao's grandmother turned around and wiped the corner of her eyes without a trace.""You little mud monkey, you've been back for so long and you still haven't washed your hands. You're already asking for food?"
"Hehe, that's right. I haven't washed my hands yet, but sister ya hasn't washed her hands either." Tian Miao smiled at Yin ya naughtily, as if she was going to drag Yin ya into the water.
At once, Tian Miao looked like a ten-year-old girl, just like any other child who was being lectured by their parents to drag their friend into the water.
Yin ya suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, but she restrained this feeling very well. She stood up and explained,"Miao Miao, you brought this back yourself, not me."
As she said that, Yin ya stretched out her fair and tender hand to grandma Tian Miao to show her.
"Yes, I think it's quite clean too. It's just that Miao Miao, you're a little mud monkey." Tian Miao's grandma patted Yin ya's hand and said with a smile.
"Grandma, you don't love me anymore." Tian Miao stomped away in dissatisfaction.
"Hahaha." Tian Miao's actions made the three adults present burst into laughter.
Not until Tian Miao's back was out of sight did her grandmother turn around and look at Yin ya. Her eyes were filled with gratitude and trust, and even a little bit wet.
"Grandma, I want to wipe my hands too." Yin ya hurriedly opened her mouth to stop Tian Miao's grandmother from thanking her.
"Yes, there's a towel here that has just been washed." It was Tian Miao's grandfather who spoke, pointing at the White towel on one side of the basket.
"Yes, yes, yes. Lady Yin, you can use this to wipe your hands." Tian Miao's grandma took the basket hurriedly and turned the basket with the towel to Yin ya.
"Okay. Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." Yin ya didn't stand on ceremony. She took up the towel and started to wipe her hands.
While Yin ya was wiping her hands, grandma Tian Miao pointed at the pears in the basket and said,""Eat the pear. Try this pear. It's really sweet."
Yin ya looked at the direction of the room hesitantly. Apparently, she was waiting for Tian Miao.
However, Tian Miao's grandmother waved her hand."There's no need to wait for that little mud monkey. We have a whole tree of pears here. It's enough for the little mud monkey."
Since grandma Tian Miao said so, Yin ya naturally didn't stand on ceremony anymore.
"Yes, yes, yes." Yin ya put down the towel and nodded repeatedly. Then, she reached out her hand to pick up a pear, brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
With a sound of "ka Cha," the pear broke into pieces in her mouth and burst out the sweet juice, which instantly made her mouth and tongue salivate. Yin ya couldn't help squinting her eyes with a satisfied look on her face.
"Cha Cha Cha Cha." Yin ya didn't pretend at all. She tasted the pear seriously with a satisfied expression on her face.
Very soon, a pear the size of an adult man's fist was gnawed by Yin ya until only the core was left. Her speed could be said to be very fast.
"It's very delicious, especially sweet. " Yin ya praised loudly without any hesitation.
"It's good that you like it, it's good that you like it. You must take a few with you later, you're not allowed to decline. " Tian Miao's grandmother quickly said.
"OK. I will bring two for Yuan Zhou to try later." When Yin ya talked about Yuan Zhou, her expression was quite natural, not as shy as before.
"That's for sure. Boss Yuan is a good man. He should try it. How can these be enough?" With that, Tian Miao's grandfather turned to leave, clearly to pick pears again.
"No need, two is enough. Thank you, Grandpa." Yin ya stopped him hurriedly.
But apparently, Grandpa Tian Miao didn't think that way. He didn't stop walking and was about to head to the rear court. Yin ya could only say,""Actually, I'm here today to talk to Grandpa and Grandma about something."
As soon as she said that, Grandpa Tian Miao stopped his steps. Even grandma Tian Miao turned around and looked at Yin ya seriously, waiting for her to speak.
Being stared at by the two old men, Yin ya stood up straight subconsciously. With a somewhat serious manner of Yuan Zhou when he opened the restaurant, she said,""I want to send Miaomiao to school."
The two old men looked as happy as Tian Miao at first, but soon they began to frown in worry.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Xiaoya. Actually, it's not that Miao Miao's school is good. It's our Miao Miao who is not good enough." Tian Miao's grandmother said helplessly.
"Yes, Miaomiao's school is very good. Even now, they still send teachers to teach Miaomiao alone. It's not the school's problem. It's US." Tian Miao's grandfather said, tilting his head.
"I know. Miao Miao told me about it." Yin ya nodded and said.
"Then, Xiao Ya, why did you ... Still say that?" Tian Miao's grandmother asked in surprise.
In fact, from the way she addressed Yin ya, it could be seen that grandma Tian Miao had already regarded Yin ya as her own junior, which was very kind.
"I found a school that is specially set up for children like Miao Miao. Not only can they learn, but they can also receive systematic treatment. The school can help with basic stabilization treatment." Yin ya said softly.
"What? There's such a school?" The question was not from Tian Miao's grandparents since they were still in shock, but from outside the courtyard.
