Chapter Ten Grandmother

Xiao Yao's grandmother, Miao Jinfang, not only brought soy sauce, but also cut up two more pounds of ecological black pork.

It turned out that she was quite prescient, because two other guests came to the house.

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit..." Yu Luying sat at the table, scrawled a cross on her chest, and softly recited the prayer before the meal.

"Wow, meat!" The yellow-haired girl from the technical school came to pick up the braised pork, but Xiao Yao next to her knocked her hand off with a chopstick: "Wait a minute."

"Oh." The yellow-haired girl pursed her lips. Her name was Shen Tian... What the hell did that mean? Oh, Tianyun.

"You have to let grandma use the chopsticks first and wait for others to finish praying. Do you understand how polite it is?" Xiao Yao said in a low voice.

It looked like a father teaching a child, Miao Jinfang thought to herself.

Speaking of which, this child does lack manners. When he was cooking meat, Yu Luying and another girl named Shen came to the soap room to help. Shen Tianyun stayed in the room and didn't know what he was doing. What.

In sharp contrast is the short girl on the right - judging from her clothes and gestures, she should be the daughter of a wealthy family.

I remember back then, I was also the fourth lady of a landlord's family, Miao Jinfang thought to herself.

"Grandma, you should eat too." Shen Jie woke Miao Jinfang out of her thoughts with a smile on her face.

"Okay, okay, okay." Miao Jinfang smiled happily.

Since the eldest son and his daughter-in-law divorced a year ago and the eldest son went to work overseas, the eldest grandson has been living with him.

Miao Jinfang knew that he had always been a loner, and he didn't even have many male friends, let alone girls. During the first semester of his freshman year in high school, he got very close to the girl named Yu Luying in the alley next door. When I saw them interacting again and asked my grandson what was going on, he just hesitated and answered.

"Shen..." Miao Jinfang started.

"Shen Jie." Shen Jie reminded.

"How did you and Yaoer meet?" Miao Jinfang asked with concern.

Miao Jinfang noticed that Shen Jie was stunned for a moment, and then cast a questioning look at her grandson.

"Ah, this..." Xiao Yao was also stunned: "...we met while playing games."

"Are you still in the computer room?" Miao Jinfang's face sank, and she felt that the situation was wrong, so she continued to turn to Shen Jie: "Of course, it is good to combine work and rest. The important thing is not to delay study."

"Did you hear that? Study." Shen Jie suppressed a smile and pretended to be serious and said to Xiao Yao.

"Study, study." Xiao Yao took two bites of rice.

"Which school are you from?" Miao Jinfang asked.

"I am from the city's seventh girls' middle school, and I am in my second year of high school."

"Then you are one year older than Yaoyao." As if she was completely unaware of the awkward atmosphere on the court, Miao Jinfang said: "The No. 7 Girls' Middle School in the city is a good school. The granddaughter of the Jin family is also there..."

Finally, Miao Jinfang realized that she had neglected the other two: "What about you?"

"Ah? Me?" Shen Tianyun wiped the shiny corners of her mouth with the back of her hand: "I'm from Changqing Sports School, and I'm in my third year of junior high school."

Changqing Sports School? It’s better than Beihong Technical School...well, it takes fifty steps to laugh a hundred steps.

"Sports school?" Before Miao Jinfang could speak, Shen Jie spoke first with an incredulous tone: "Really?"

"Well," Shen Tianyun looked at Shen Jie with a gentle expression: "My mother said that she was too strictly controlled by her family when she was a child, so I can decide whatever I want to study and follow my interests."

"So that's it." Shen Jie nodded: "What do you practice?"

"Ride a bicycle." Shen Tianyun made a gesture of holding the handlebars with both hands.

Several girls started chatting with each other, and even Yu Luying, who had been immersed in eating, joined in, finally breaking the awkward situation of Miao Jinfang singing a one-man show.

"Senior year of high school, actually it's not bad...I didn't take the college entrance examination, and now I'm preparing to take the IELTS...wherever I want to go...probably Australia." Shen Jie said.

"I don't know yet, maybe I will go directly to the high school of our school. St. Francis Middle School seems to have students with sports talents? But it is very difficult..." Shen Tianyun held her chin with one hand.

"Sports student, this is great, let's try for it." Xiao Yao and Shen Jie, who had been silent, said in unison.

"Me? Fudan." Yu Luying's words were concise and concise, but her tone was firm, and she received several whispers of admiration.

"So, Xiao Yao also has to work hard." Yu Luying glanced at Xiao Yao and said slowly: "The final exam is coming soon. Teacher Yao asked me to help Xiao Yao make up lessons."

"Thank you so much for your hard work, Yingying." Miao Jinfang said movedly.

"Teacher Yao, didn't you say it was you who took the initiative... Wow." Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying in a low voice. Before he could finish his words, he screamed, probably because he was stepped on.

"Ah, make-up lessons?" Shen Tianyun looked at the ceiling and deliberately lengthened her tone: "Some people's pride is blown."

"What's wrong?" Shen Jie seemed to be no longer as cautious as she was at first, and asked with interest.

"No, I just thought of something fun." Shen Tianyun cleared her throat: "My dad always brags to me about how good his grades were when he was in school. He complained that I could only go to a sports school, blah blah blah... …”

Shen Jie put down the cup in her hand, turned her head to one side, sprayed the water in her mouth on the ground, then covered her mouth and laughed wildly. She laughed so wildly that her shoulders were shaking violently.

"Yes...hahahahahaha...I'm sorry...I...hahaha..."

"Ah, it's starting again." Shen Tianyun continued to look at the ceiling.

While unable to stop laughing, Shen Jie took out her handkerchief and bent down to wipe the ground: "Grandma, I'm sorry...ahem..."

"It doesn't matter," Miao Jinfang said hurriedly: "Leave me alone!"

Yu Luying took out a pack of tissues, handed it to Shen Jie, and then reached out to pat her on the back.

Xiao Yao had already stood up halfway, but when he saw Yu Luying was already taking pictures, he sat down again.

"So what does your father do now?" Shen Jie stopped laughing and asked again. He was asking Shen Tianyun, but his eyes were directed at Xiao Yao.

Shen Tianyun leaned to the side: "What else can adults do? Just go to work. I can't see anyone. I can only make wishes from a distance and fulfill them in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. I won't mention him anymore!"

The topics of the teenagers did not always stay on their studies and future. Soon, they turned to discussing recent movies, pop songs, hobbies, and gossip from their respective schools.

"Little girl, you speak the dialect of Shanghai." Miao Jinfang suddenly touched Shen Tianyun's arm.

"Oh yes, you should do the same as them and speak Mandarin," Xiao Yao said. "Although grandma can understand Mandarin, it's quite difficult for her."

"Ah? I don't know how to speak it," Shen Tianyun said with a confused look on her face: "I can understand the magic city dialect."

Miao Jinfang was stunned for a moment and said nothing. She just sat aside and listened with a smile.

Strangely enough, although there were many things about Shen Tianyun that Miao Jinfang didn't like, Miao Jinfang couldn't dislike this overly lively and naughty child.

She had an inexplicable feeling that this child seemed to be her granddaughter.

This kind of intimacy... makes no sense, it's really strange. Miao Jinfang shook her head, as if she wanted to get rid of something.

The person next to her, Shen Jie, is well-educated, mature and steady beyond her years most of the time, and has the demeanor of a lady.

As for Yingying... she seemed to have quickly withdrawn from the discussion circle, sitting there fiddling with her long hair, looking very worried.

Finally, Miao Jinfang turned his attention to his grandson. He looked at Shen Jie for a while and Yu Luying for a while, with the passion of a young man in his eyes.

A kind of unfounded worry gradually replaced her joy - really, it's not easy to have so many friends by her side, so don't scare them away again.

The floor-to-ceiling clock rang loudly, and Miao Jinfang yawned lightly.

"Grandma is sleepy, let her rest." Shen Jie keenly caught this signal: "Grandma, please leave it alone while we clean up the dishes. Xiao Yao, take your classmate back."

"I can just go back by myself." Yu Luying suggested.

"Yes, Mom... uh, Shen Jie, just let her go back by herself." Shen Tianyun happily agreed, pretending not to see Yu Luying gouge her out.

"I have something to tell you alone." Shen Jie patted Shen Tianyun on the arm.

"But..." Shen Tianyun said unconvinced.

Yu Luying had silently walked to the door of the soap room and opened the door: "Grandma, I'm leaving first."
