Li Shutong listened to the younger generations talking and said with a smile, "Xiao Zong, work is important, and personal matters are important too. If you meet the right woman, you must seize the opportunity. Your aunt is waiting to attend your wedding."
"Aunt, there's no rush for this, just let it be."
Ever since his sister ruined his last relationship, Li Xiaozong hasn't gone on any blind dates again. The nurse he liked before is now married. In fact, he has let it go, but he hasn't met anyone who makes his heart beat.
"You have just started working, so the most important thing is to learn skills well. You can wait a little longer for marriage. There is no need to rush it." Li Shutong looked at him with a smile.
Li Xiaozong smiled and nodded, putting his hand on Yun Jingmo, pulling him out as a shield, "Aunt, Jingmo is only half a year younger than me, you can urge him."
"If he meets the right one, his aunt and uncle will urge him to do it."
Li Shutong said this, but in fact she never urged her son, because she knew her son very well. He had high standards and ordinary female comrades would not be in his eyes. His marriage would definitely come late and would not happen in the short term of two to three years.
They gathered at home and chatted happily. Li Wenji rode his bicycle out and bought a basket of delicious food. He also packed up the meat dishes that his two younger sisters and brother-in-law liked from the state-owned restaurant, and brought two boxes of local pastries that his nephews liked.
"Jingmo, I bought you butterfly cakes and Chongming cakes. I remember you three siblings like them. Come, have some, and ask Huaying and Xiaojiang to join in."
"Thank you, uncle."
Yun Jingmo stood up and took it, smiling gently: "I haven't eaten it in many years, I miss it so much."
"I was in a hurry today and just bought a little bit. Tomorrow, your uncle will take you out to eat. Let's go to the pastry shop on Pudong Street. The food there tastes better." Li Wenjie has always loved them and was really happy to see them today.
"I heard that my uncle and brother Xiaozong are leaving the day after tomorrow. Our whole family will go out for fun tomorrow and have a good time together." Yun Jingmo said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's get together. My uncle is treating us tomorrow. Let's go to Xinghualou for a nice meal."
Lunch was prepared by Wang Juan and Xue Liyuan, sisters-in-law. There were mostly meat dishes on the table, including chicken, meat, seafood, and Li Shutong's favorite wontons, which were made by Li's mother in the morning. It was a lucky coincidence for them.
After lunch at Li's house, Yun Huaying and Jiang Yuan went out together and called their elderly grandson Xu Yanzhe to make an appointment to meet him.
"Uncle, aunt, Comrade Xu asked us to go there this afternoon and go directly to the Municipal Party Committee Office to see him. He has all the information about you, Uncle Meng and Aunt Xiao, so just go and handle the formalities with him."
"Okay, let's go now and don't keep him waiting."
Yun Shaofan immediately stood up and said to his parents-in-law, "Dad, Mom, let's go to the Municipal Party Committee first to take care of work matters. Huaying will go with us, and Jingmo and the others will stay at home. Don't cook at home tonight. I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."
"Oh, okay."
Father Li stood up and told them, "Shao Fan, Shu Tong, this cadre took the time to help you during the New Year holiday. You must thank him well."
"Dad, we know." Yun Shaofan smiled.
Yun Huaying put on her scarf, hat, etc., tidied herself up, took out her cross-body bag, said goodbye to Jiang Yuan and the others, and then accompanied the four elders to do some business.
Father Li and the others had seen them off to the alley gate. When they returned, the nosy neighbors gathered around them, "Uncle Li, why did your Shutong and her husband leave so soon? They've only just returned after all these years. Didn't they stay at her parents' house for a day or two?"
"They have been rehabilitated long ago, and their work reputations have been restored, but they have not come back to handle the formalities. They are going to handle the formalities now and will be back later." Father Li told them with a smile.
"I see."
One of the women had been staring at Yun Huaying, but she had never seen her before. She asked with a smile, "Uncle Li, who was that beautiful woman? She's the young girl who just left with your Shutong and the others."
"She's my son-in-law's niece. She used to come to our house when she was little."
"Oh, you are so beautiful and look like an adult. Do you have a partner?" the other party asked.
"She's already registered her marriage. Her husband is a soldier. Now all that's left is the wedding, which should be in the second half of this year."
When she heard that the other party was married, the woman stopped asking her and turned the topic back to Yun Chaoyan, "Chaoyan has grown up, do you have a partner?"
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm dating someone who's my cousin's husband's comrade-in-arms." Yun Chaoyan answered herself.
"Oh, they're dating too."
There was obviously a hint of regret in the other person's tone, and he started to ask about Yun Jingmo's private affairs. However, he was very smart and had slipped back into the house before the man started asking about Yun Huaying's private affairs.
Jiang Yuan followed them into the house and sat down on the sofa, laughing: "Elders across the country have a common hobby, which is to catch young men and women of marriageable age to act as matchmakers. It's really terrible."
Yun Chaoyan, who followed her into the room, chuckled when she heard this and sat down beside her, smiling brightly: "It seems that being in a relationship is a good thing. At least I won't be bothered by others."
Xue Liyuan had just made tea for them and brought it over with a friendly smile, "Outstanding young people have no trouble finding a husband. Matchmakers come to their homes in droves, almost trampling down the door. Chaoyan is beautiful, well-behaved, sensible, and filial. If she meets a suitable man, it would be better for her to settle down sooner rather than later, so as to avoid the annoyance of others coming to her house."
"It hasn't been finalized yet. We haven't known each other for long, but my dad and his dad are childhood friends, so we know each other well. We need to get to know each other better." Yun Chaoyan told the elders with a smile.
