Miaomiao's house was located at the outermost part of the village. There was no one within a radius of 200 meters. There was only a lonely house standing there.
The house was an ordinary cement house. From the structure of the outside, it could be seen that it was two small houses leaning against each other.
When she walked to the door, it was suddenly opened with a squeak. A dim yellow light came from inside. It could be seen that the intensity of the lamp wasn't high.
"Miaomiao, you're back." The hoarse voice of an old woman came from the door.
"Grandma, I'm back." Tian Miaomiao's cheerful voice sounded. She quickened her pace and soon arrived at the door.
As soon as she arrived at the door, the person with his back to the light suddenly became clear.
An old man dressed in two layers of clothes stood at the door. He had gray hair, a slightly stooped back, and a kind smile on his face. Although he was thin and weak, he seemed to be in good spirits.
"Miaomiao, you've worked hard. Let me take care of these. Come in quickly." Miaomiao's grandmother took the cardboard box from Miaomiao's hand and urged her.
"Miaomiao, you're back. Come and eat." An old man's voice came from the room.
"Coming, grandpa." Miaomiao nodded her head and walked quickly into the room.
As soon as she entered the room, the situation in the room could be seen clearly. There were four chairs on a small square table and sundries piled up everywhere. However, the room didn't seem dirty or messy. Instead, it was clean. Even the old man sitting in front of the table looked old, but he was full of vigor.
"I have your favorite spare ribs today." Miaomiao's grandpa waved his hand hurriedly when he saw his granddaughter coming in.
"Wow, today's dishes are so delicious." Looking at the Braised Spare Ribs, Stir-Fried Vegetables, and a Stir-Fried Pork on the table, Miaomiao couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"These are sent by the village head today. He sent quite a lot. After eating today, there will be more tomorrow." Miaomiao's grandmother entered the room and said smilingly.
"Exactly. Apart from the spare ribs that our Miaomiao likes to eat, there's also half a chicken, a bag of rice, and a barrel of oil." Miaomiao's grandpa counted the dishes one by one earnestly.
"Yeah. Sit down and eat, Miaomiao." Miaomiao's grandmother pulled the dumbfounded Miaomiao and pressed her down on the chair.
"Eat, Miaomiao." Miaomiao's grandpa straightforwardly reached out his hand and picked a piece of spare ribs into Miaomiao's bowl.
"Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Grandma." Miao Miao lowered her head and started to eat the pork ribs.
"Miaomiao, don't be sad. Actually, the village chief and the others aren't bad people." Grandma Miaomiao stroked Miaomiao's head and said seriously.
"It's good for us to live outside. Although it's a little deserted, it's quiet. The environment there is also not bad. There's a small vegetable field at the door, so we don't have to go so far to pick vegetables," Grandma Miao Miao explained.
"That's right. It's good that they moved away. There's more space there," Miao Miao's grandfather chimed in.
"And the next time your teacher comes to teach you, there will be a place for you. At that time, grandpa will make you a table and a chair, just like the ones in your school." Miao Miao's grandfather made a bold statement.
"Your chair is missing an arm and a leg. Don't let Miaomiao fall. It's better to buy a new one." Miaomiao's grandmother glared at her husband.
"Who said so? I'm pretty good at carpentry." Miao Miao's grandfather glared at him.
"Forget it. My heart aches for our dear Miaomiao." Miao Miao's grandmother still had a look of disbelief.
The two weather-beaten and white-haired elders were like children when they quarreled. They glared at each other.
But when they quarreled, they did not forget to look at Miao Miao, who had her head lowered. Obviously, they were comforting Miao Miao.
Fortunately, Miao Miao soon did as the two elders wished. She raised her head and said helplessly, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm fine. I'm not sad."
"I'm just thinking that there are a lot of things at home. We'll have to move for a long time," Miao Miao said.
"It's okay. You don't have to worry about it," Miao Miao's grandfather waved his hand and said generously.
"Grandpa, you have a solution?" Miao Miao looked at her grandfather curiously.
One must know that Miao Miao's family was really poor. They did not even have a store for things like TV dramas. The only electrical appliances they had were an old-fashioned cell phone and electric lights.
Therefore, there was no need to mention transportation. If they were to move, even if it was not far away, they could only rely on the three of them. Under such circumstances, Miao Miao was naturally worried about what to do when they moved.
"The village chief gave us a wooden cart today. It looks pretty good," Miao Miao's grandfather said as he pointed outside.
"Really? That's great. Then we can finish moving soon, "Miao Miao said happily.
"Yeah. So the village chief and the people in the village are actually not bad," Miao Miao's grandmother said carefully again.
"Grandpa, Grandma." Although Miao Miao was only ten years old, she looked very solemn when she was serious.
"I've never blamed anyone. I know that everyone is afraid of me. But it's natural for them to be afraid of me. Therefore, I'm fine," Miao Miao said seriously.
"And I know that everyone is just afraid of me. They don't hate me. Besides, Uncle and Auntie often give us food. Many things at home are given by them."
"Although they are placed far away from our house, I know they are for us. If it weren't for Uncle and Auntie, we wouldn't be so relaxed," Miao Miao said.
"Therefore, even if I can't go to school now, I don't blame anyone. I won't blame anyone for this. Just like Grandpa and Grandma said, the new house is bigger and I like it more," Miao Miao said with a yearning expression.
"Miao Miao, you have wronged us." Hearing such mature words that didn't sound like a child's, the two old people's eyes became a little moist. They couldn't help touching Miao Miao's head and said.
"It's nothing. Even the teacher comes to tutor me. Although Miao Miao can't go to school, this place is better than the cram school. The teacher teaches me alone," Miao Miao revealed a big smile and said.
"Miao Miao is the smartest," the two old people nodded their heads and said seriously.
"Um, um," Miao Miao nodded her head vigorously. Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, she smiled even more happily.
Time passed quickly. With the help of the man-powered handcart, Miao Miao's house was moved very quickly. Compared to the scheduled one week, it only took them three days to move everything.
During the period, Miao Miao and the others would receive rice, flour, oil, and a small refrigerator not far from their new house from time to time. Once, they even received a small red envelope with 200 RMB in it.
Miao Miao and the old couple didn't see the people who sent the gifts, but they knew they were sent by the villagers.
Because of Miao Miao, the old couple bowed to the villagers and then accepted the gifts after thanking them.
Even Miao Miao also bowed in the direction of the village earnestly and then left.
On the other side, when Miao Miao didn't come for three days, Yin Ya was really worried about Miao Miao. Therefore, she couldn't help but investigate this matter by herself.
Because she cared a lot about Miao Miao's expression when she left that day.
After knowing Miao Miao's family background, Yin Ya felt as if her heart was blocked by a ball of cotton. There was always a kind of indescribable discomfort in her heart.
But soon, Yin Ya decided to help Miao Miao. But how to help her was a problem.
Now, during the red wine time every day, Yin Ya would read books and check the computer earnestly. Sometimes, she even needed Yuan Zhou's reminder before she would eat the snacks obediently.
Even when Yuan Zhou secretly made her colostrum cake, she didn't resist and just ate it up by the spoonful with the book.
That made Yuan Zhou a little surprised.
Just when Yin Ya forgot to stuff the pastries into her mouth again, Yuan Zhou couldn't help asking, "Are you busy recently?"
"Yes, I've been looking up information recently." Yin Ya nodded and said straightforwardly.
"Do you need my help?" Yuan Zhou sat up straight and asked seriously.
Hearing such a question, Yin Ya paused. She put down the pastries and looked at Yuan Zhou. After a while, she revealed a smile and said, "No need, I can do it."
"But, if I need you, I definitely won't forget to ask for your help." Yin Ya continued.
"Well, that's good." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Then I'll continue with my work." After saying that, Yin Ya lowered her head and continued to read.
The books on Yin Ya's desk were not only in English, French, but also in German and Japanese. It could be said to be very rich.
After reading continuously for three days, Yin Ya finally found some clues in a report in the corner.
Today, Yin Ya met Tian Miao who was carrying a big bag at the garbage transfer station after drinking red wine.
