Song Yan was reading a medical book when his third aunt knocked on the door and then pushed it open to come in.
Song Yan understood; her third aunt was finally going to say something to her.
"Third Aunt!"
Song Yan brewed herself some rose tea, and she also made a cup for her third aunt.
Third Aunt: "Xiaoyan, your mother-in-law told you everything, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Song Yan smiled slightly. There were many things she had to tell her, but she didn't know which one her aunt was asking about.
"You silly child!" Auntie San had never planned to get married before, but now that she has decided to get married, she is still a little embarrassed to talk to Song Yan about it.
Song Yan: "What are your plans for the future, Auntie?"
Third Aunt: "I earned less than 30,000 yuan from the royalties of my first novel, and with the royalties I had saved before, it was enough to reach 30,000 yuan."
The second novel has also been printed!
I think I could earn quite a bit in royalties.
So I don't need to save money; I want to buy a small courtyard.
"Bring your Grandpa Miao and Grandma Miao to live with us."
Grandpa Miao and Grandma Miao are my second aunt's parents-in-law.
During those years, my third aunt was not only in poor health but also had nowhere to go, so she lived with the Miao people. The Miao people treated her like their own daughter.
If it weren't for the fact that they lived with her, her third aunt would probably have wanted to bring them over long ago.
"Have you found a house?" Song Yan asked.
Third Aunt: "I asked Sister Ji to inquire about a few small courtyards, but none of them were the standard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), and they weren't very big either. But they were big enough for a family to live in."
Courtyard houses are too expensive.
If you have time, would you like to come with me to take a look?
The "Sister Ji" that my third aunt mentioned is actually Aunt Ji.
Song Yan: "Okay!"
When would you like to go?
"The day after tomorrow. Aren't you supposed to be off the day after tomorrow?" Auntie said.
Song Yan: "Okay, then I'll go when I'm resting!"
Then the two of them fell silent.
Song Yan deliberately remained silent.
My aunt felt a little embarrassed that an elder was talking about her marriage in front of a younger person.
Song Yan whispered in his third aunt's ear, "Third Aunt, did you invite Grandpa Miao and Grandma Miao here so they could watch you get married?"
Auntie patted Song Yan gently. "This child!"
This is my aunt's first relationship: "I'm already this old, and I feel quite embarrassed if I tell them I'm getting married!"
“They will only be happy and will wish you well!” Song Yan said.
My aunt nodded, her eyes crinkling with laughter, indicating that she felt very happy.
Third Aunt: "Xiao Yan, Lao Qiao has never formally invited you to a meal. He said he wanted to thank you for taking care of me."
"Let's go see a house on Sunday, and then... he'll treat you to dinner!"
"It's alright, Auntie, are you happy?" Song Yan asked.
Song Yan truly felt sorry for them; the three Liu sisters had all had a difficult first half of their lives.
Song Ma and Second Aunt are living happily now, only Third Aunt is missing.
Auntie San nodded: "There are no houses for sale near Old Qiao's house."
Sister Ji helped find these houses, but they were all quite far from Lao Qi's house.
He has always disagreed with moving into the house I bought.
But even if I bring your Grandpa and Grandma Miao here, I can't leave them to live alone; I'm worried about them doing that."
Song Yan tentatively asked, "So, did your Old Qiao agree this time?"
Third Aunt nodded again.
Song Yan wanted to say a few words of advice to his third aunt.
Grandpa and Grandma Miao aren't my third aunt's biological parents. Comrade Qiao lives in the same courtyard with them, in my third aunt's house.
Old Joe doesn't seem like the type to live off a woman.
It's normal for people to have concerns, as they're definitely not used to it.
It seems that Comrade Qiao has compromised.
Song Yan saw a faint smile on his third aunt's face, which clearly showed that she was full of happiness.
Song Yan wanted to pull out his own hair.
Xiaoxiao hadn't even finished worrying about her own affairs when she had to worry about her third aunt!
There are many days, but not as many as the daily necessities of life.
"Did Grandpa Miao and Grandma Miao agree to come to Kyoto?" Song Yan asked.
"They always say that they have sons and daughters, they don't rely on me, and they just want me to be well."
But I can't live with myself if I don't do something for them!
Even my biological father abandoned me after all these years.
How could I forget these things?
"They don't want me to take care of them in their old age, but at the very least I want them to stay in Kyoto for a while, to see the city properly, and to have some fun," Auntie said.
My third aunt still has the personality of an old-fashioned intellectual.
He only cares about his own writing and his own articles.
He didn't mention at all how much dowry Old Joe would give if she got married.
The house was bought with money from my third aunt.
What about other things? These days, the trend is to have three big items.
My third aunt has the money to buy these things, but they have a different meaning than what the Qiao family sent.
But it seems that Auntie San didn't make any requests, and the Qiao family didn't mention it either.
That won't do.
On Sunday, Song Yan made sure to get everything he needed during dinner.
It's not that my aunt lacks these things. It's because women should definitely have what they need.
Otherwise, men will feel that the wife they marry is worthless.
Song Yan: "Third Aunt, when we meet at dinner, I'll ask you for a bride price!"
This isn't about us focusing on money; it's a matter of attitude.
My aunt is such a good person, her wedding can't be taken lightly!
My third aunt also has her family backing her up!
Third Aunt couldn't help but hug Song Yan.
This is the attitude of an elder caring for the younger generation.
The child she loved back then has now grown up and not only loves her but also protects her.
When Song Yan got married in the countryside, it was not only haphazard, but there wasn't even a wedding ceremony.
Third Aunt felt sorry for Song Yan.
Song Yan chatted with his third aunt about other things, such as entrusting Xiao Hu's construction team to renovate their future house...
On Sunday, Song Yan drove his third aunt around all the houses that Aunt Ji had helped him find out about.
Aunt Ji is such a know-it-all!
There aren't many houses available for sale right now, and she actually helped inquire about five places.
At noon, Auntie San led Song Yan to a private restaurant.
It is said that the old man used to be a chef. Now that the policy allows it, he has nothing to do. He cooks four or five banquets every day, which can relieve his boredom and earn him some pocket money.
All meals here need to be ordered in advance.
When Song Yan and her third aunt arrived, Old Qiao was already waiting there.
Qiao Huan followed behind her father with a smile; the child was genuinely happy.
Since they all knew each other, Song Yan had nothing to be embarrassed about.
The food isn't ready yet, so let's sit down and have a cup of tea first.
My third aunt's family is all here except for her. Don't underestimate her because she's of a lower generation; she still has things to do.
