Teacher Guan didn't say much. She picked up the basket and walked forward. As for Yin Ya, she quickly said goodbye to Tian Miao and Tian Miao's grandparents before following behind Teacher Guan.
Tian Miao's grandparents and Tian Miao's parents watched them leave. They stood at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time and didn't leave.
Only when they couldn't even see the little black dot did the three of them retract their gazes.
"Miao Miao, there are still many good people in this world. Grandma didn't lie to you," Tian Miao's grandmother said softly as she stroked Tian Miao's hair.
"Miao Miao, you have to take good care of yourself," Tian Miao's grandfather said seriously as he lowered his head to look at his granddaughter.
"Um, Grandpa and Grandma will. I know," Tian Miao nodded vigorously.
"We're going to school soon. Are you happy?" Tian Miao's grandmother asked as she led her into the courtyard.
"Yes." Tian Miao nodded.
"That's good. It's always good to go to school to learn more," Tian Miao's grandmother said.
"Teacher said that only by learning can one know more and see a bigger world." Tian Miao's small face was filled with yearning.
"Your teacher is right." Tian Miao's grandmother nodded.
"Um, Sister Ya said the same thing," Tian Miao said happily.
"Then I'll go pack up." Tian Miao's grandfather turned and walked into the house.
"Sure, old man. You go pack up. I'll cook some delicious dishes tonight. Let's celebrate," Tian Miao's grandmother said.
"It's time to celebrate. I'll drink a little tonight," Tian Miao's grandfather said.
"Sure, I'll allow you to drink a little. You can't drink too much. We have to hurry up and pack up. There's not much time left. Miao Miao has to rush to school." The happiness in Tian Miao's grandmother's words was self-evident. The wrinkles on her face smoothed out.
Needless to say, Tian Miao's grandfather's footsteps were much lighter. He quickly packed up the big things in the house.
On the other side, although Teacher Guan was a skinny driver, his hands were quite strong. He carried the basket full of autumn pears and walked quickly and quietly.
This made Yin Ya a little puzzled. Yin Ya knew that Teacher Guan did not allow Tian Miao's grandparents to send them off because the two elders were old. Now that the sky was a little dark, it was not convenient to send them off.
On the other hand, Yin Ya also felt that Teacher Guan probably had something to say to her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Miao Miao away on purpose.
But now that Teacher Guan was silent, Yin Ya was a little confused.
Yin Ya subconsciously stared at the basket and found that the autumn pears in the basket were all glossy and beautiful. There were even very few spots on the pears. Obviously, they were the ones that had grown the best on the tree.
Furthermore, there was soft wrinkle paper between each pear. It was obvious that the pears were specially wrapped to prevent them from being damaged.
"How thoughtful." Yin Ya couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
At this moment, Teacher Guan suddenly spoke, "Miss Yin Ya, can I call you that?"
"Of course," Yin Ya replied.
"Thank you for helping Miao Miao. As a teacher, I didn't fulfill my responsibility and troubled you." Teacher Guan thanked her immediately. This made Yin Ya want to retort, but Teacher Guan continued, "I know you are Miao Miao's friend. Thank you for being willing to be her friend."
"Tian Miao is a good child," Teacher Guan continued. Yin Ya could only nod.
"Before Tian Miao was born, her parents were working outside. I think they worked in a factory. They were honest people. After working for a few years, they returned home and built a cement house."
"At that time, Tian Miao's mother happened to have Tian Miao. She didn't go out anymore. She stayed at home to take care of the elderly and planned to work after giving birth."
"Their family's financial situation was limited. They didn't go for a prenatal checkup until Tian Miao's body was abnormally weak after she was born. Only then did they send Tian Miao for a checkup. It was too late by then."
"After a few twists and turns, they found out that Tian Miao was born with HIV. Both of her parents were infected with HIV. Not long after Tian Miao was found out, her father passed away due to complications."
"No one knew how the honest couple got infected. However, it was a huge blow. Before Tian Miao's grandparents could recover from the death of their only son, Tian Miao's mother had a mental problem."
"Not long after, Tian Miao's mother also drank pesticide due to mental problems. She wasn't sure if she was conscious or not."
"Just like that, there were only the three of them left in the family," Teacher Guan said after a pause.
Teacher Guan did not speak fast. Every word and sentence was spoken clearly. His tone was also very flat, without any emotion. He just said it in a plain and straightforward manner.
Yin Ya, who already knew about these things from the documents, couldn't help but turn her head and wipe the corners of her eyes.
"Actually, everyone knows that it wasn't the child's fault. It's just that this disease is too scary." Teacher Guan's last sentence was filled with pity.
"I know." Yin Ya nodded.
"Does the school really have it?" Teacher Guan looked at Yin Ya with a burning gaze and asked again.
"Yes, it exists. I've gone to see it," Yin Ya answered affirmatively.
"That's good. That's good. It's good that it exists," Teacher Guan repeated and then fell silent again.
"Miao Miao will be fine there. You'll know when you go there," Yin Ya said.
"I believe she will." Teacher Guan nodded.
At this point, the conversation between the two ended. Teacher Guan helped Yin Ya stop a taxi and rushed to pay the 100 RMB fare. Then, he turned around and left.
Of course, when he left, he didn't forget to remind Yin Ya to ask the driver to give her change.
Yin Ya sat in the back seat, hugging the heavy basket. Her heart was full and heavy at the same time.
After a while, Yin Ya suddenly revealed a smile and said softly, "Blockhead definitely likes the taste of the pears. There are so many of them. I have to let him have a good taste."
When she came here by bus, Yin Ya felt it was a little far and she was a little perturbed. But now, she felt time passed very quickly. While Yin Ya was still thinking about Yuan Zhou's expression when he ate the pears, the driver told Yin Ya that they had arrived at Taoxi Road.
"We've arrived at Taoxi Road. Here's your change. Don't worry. I won't give you any less," the driver couldn't help saying.
"Um, I didn't give you any less. Thank you, sir," Yin Ya said with a smile.
"You're welcome," the driver waved his hand and drove to the place specially for picking up passengers at Taoxi Road after Yin Ya got off.
That's right. There had been a clear plan for Taoxi Road now. Passengers could be picked up there and passengers could be dropped off there. Moreover, passengers couldn't stay for too long.
Did this set of standards sound familiar? Yes, that's right. This was according to the standards of the airport. Passengers had to line up to pick up passengers and the places for picking up passengers were different.
It couldn't be helped. This was Taoxi Road, where Yuan Zhou lived. Moreover, the Painting God's Cottage opened for business today. Taoxi Road would probably be more boisterous in the future.
After all, watching an art exhibition after eating in Yuanzhou shop was simply too enjoyable.
The foodies expressed that it was getting harder and harder to wait in line.
