"Sister-in-law, you really will bring meat pies and meat buns back with you during the holiday?" Ya Dan looked at Tang Yuan Yuan in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard.

Ever since my sister-in-law and her mother had a falling out a few years ago, my sister-in-law has become estranged from her mother. Of course, you can't tell from the surface. My sister-in-law has always had a good temper, always smiling, and speaks softly. Even when she's angry, she would never say anything harsh.

Her sister-in-law is a typical Jiangnan woman, speaking in a soft, gentle Wu dialect. Even though she's a woman, it sounds so sweet and charming. No wonder her brother is as obedient as a lapdog in front of her, never daring to disobey her!

Seeing Tang Yuanyuan and her brother's daily life, Ya Dan was incredibly envious. She also reflected on it and thought that the reason why the senior she had a crush on in college didn't like her was probably because he thought her voice was too loud.

Unfortunately, she didn't realize it at the time and missed her first crush. Now she doesn't know where the handsome senior is, and she's too embarrassed to ask her classmates for fear of being laughed at for being so shameless. How could an ugly duckling like her dare to have a crush on such a handsome and academically gifted senior? How could an ugly duckling like her be worthy of such a god?

But Ya Dan always felt that her senior treated her differently. For example, he spoke more gently, his eyes were deeper, and his smile was more beautiful. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but it was because of these things that Ya Dan presumptuously liked her senior and ultimately failed to muster the courage to confess.

She later learned that her senior already had a girlfriend, a girl from Jiangnan who was similar to her sister-in-law. She spoke softly and sweetly, and even her everyday speech sounded like she was being coquettish. When she smiled, her eyes crinkled, and she had fair skin and a petite figure. When Ya Dan saw this girl, she immediately felt ashamed of herself and despised her own overestimation of her abilities. Naturally, she dared not confess her feelings again and consciously distanced herself from her senior, not wanting to provoke him any further.

Ya Dan felt a pang of sadness. Several years had passed since graduation, but she still couldn't forget her senior. Afraid of sinking deeper into despair, she forced herself not to inquire about his current situation. Perhaps he had already married and had children with that girl?

It's better not to ask, lest it break your heart even more.

Tang Yuanyuan noticed her sister-in-law's gloomy expression and was somewhat surprised. Ya Dan was usually so carefree and easygoing, when did she start having worries?

But it's not surprising. As girls grow up, they naturally have their own worries, perhaps about relationships. Ya Dan is already 27, and many girls her age in the village already have children in elementary school, but Ya Dan has never had a boyfriend. No wonder her in-laws are anxious and urge her to go on blind dates every day.

"Of course it's true. When summer vacation starts, I'll take the kids back to stay for a few days, and your brother will go back too," Tang Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Ever since Ya Dan told her about it, she had been thinking about it. It was definitely unrealistic not to take the child back to her hometown. Even if she didn't care about the monk, she couldn't let things get too tense with her in-laws for Tie Dan's sake, and she couldn't put Tie Dan in a difficult position.

Actually, her in-laws are quite nice. Her father-in-law is an honest man who doesn't like to talk and doesn't care about anything. Every day he either goes to work in the fields or goes to the mountains to chop firewood and collect herbs. He only cares about work, and her mother-in-law takes care of everything, big or small.

Her mother-in-law is certainly capable, but that's in comparison to some mothers-in-law in the countryside. That standard is too low. Tie Dan's mother is indeed a capable woman in her hometown. She can handle both social and domestic affairs, keeps the house clean and tidy, and is also quite open-minded. After all, she doesn't have the old-fashioned idea of ​​favoring sons over daughters and treats her grandsons and granddaughters equally.
