"It's normal for you men to be careless and not notice."
But don't tell your older sister about this; I just have a feeling about it.
Liu Sulan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I definitely won't tell."
"Honey, I'm going to get back to work outside. Why don't you take Tangtang to the yard to sunbathe?"
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy!"
I took Tangtang outside to bask in the sun.
Liu Sulan nodded.
Then, Yu Chengyuan went out.
The next day, Yu Xiangcao accompanied her second brother and sister-in-law to the Liu family, bringing fresh fish, shrimp, and local eggs.
But a young man opened the door to greet them.
The man was wearing a white shirt and military green trousers. He looked to be under thirty and appeared to be a soldier.
Yu Xiangcao was taken aback, wondering who this person was.
I've never heard of Liu Sulan having an older brother.
Isn't she an only child?
Did they go to the wrong room?
Just as he was wondering, Liu Sulan, who was standing behind him holding the child, spoke up.
"Cousin Haoze, you're here?"
When did you arrive?
Yu Xiangcao immediately realized that the man in front of her was her second sister-in-law's cousin.
"Cousin Sulan, my mom and I just arrived yesterday."
"Come in quickly."
Lu Haoze took the things from Yu Xiangcao's hands and welcomed them inside.
He then took the things to the kitchen and brought out a plate of sliced oranges.
"Cousin Sulan, please have some fruit."
I brought these from the province specifically because I know you like oranges.
"Cousin Haoze, thank you so much, it's so sweet."
Liu Sulan immediately ate a segment of orange, and finding it sweet, she immediately took a piece and gave it to Yu Xiangcao, saying, "Big sister, you should try it too, it's really sweet."
Yu Xiangcao took it, ate a piece, and nodded, "Mmm, it's very sweet."
"Cousin Haoze, let me introduce you. This is Chengyuan's older sister, and also my older sister."
Her name is Yu Xiangcao, you can call her Cousin Xiangcao instead.
After introducing her sister-in-law, Liu Sulan began to introduce her cousin.
"Big sister, this is my aunt's son. He should be a little older than you. You can call him Cousin Hao."
"Hello, Cousin Haoze!"
"Hello, cousin Vanilla!"
The two greeted each other politely.
Liu Sulan looked around the living room but didn't see her parents or aunt, so she asked, "Cousin Haoze, where are my mom and aunt?"
Just then, Liu Sulan's mother, Weng Hong, and her aunt returned.
The two were carrying a lot of groceries, so they looked like they were going to the market to buy them.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xiangcao immediately greeted them with a smile, "Aunt Weng, you're back! You even bought so many groceries, thank you for your hard work!"
She knew that the other woman she had never seen before, but who was Aunt Weng, must be her second brother's wife's aunt.
At this moment, Lu Haoze also came over, helped take the vegetables from their hands, and then took them to the kitchen.
Looking at her empty hands, Yu Xiangcao could only clap her hands and sit down next to Liu Sulan again.
"Big sister, you don't need to bother, just leave it to my cousin."
He's a man, so let him do the heavy lifting. You're a guest, you don't need to do these things.
Liu Sulan could tell that Yu Xiangcao wanted to help.
“Su-lan is right. Let Hao-ze do his work. You and Su-lan can sit and eat fruit and chat.”
He then immediately took Tangtang from his daughter's arms, looking extremely fond of her.
"Oh my, this is Su-lan's daughter. She's so beautiful, just like a little doll in a New Year's painting. I really love her."
"Come here, second sister, let me hug you."
Before Weng Hong could even get a good hug, her younger sister snatched it away.
"Okay, I'll let you hug me for a while."
Weng Hong said with a smile.
My sister rarely comes to visit, so let her have a hug. I'll have plenty of opportunities to do it myself.
"Auntie, my mom loves children. Tangtang is so pretty, she can't help but hug her a lot."
Lu Haoze joked with a smile.
"You brat, if you're so capable, give me one, then I won't have to be so envious."
Weng Hong's younger sister, Weng Fan, then took a piece of mutton fat jade from her neck and hung it around Tangtang's neck.
Liu Sulan spoke up to stop her, "Auntie, this is too valuable, Tangtang can't accept it."
She recognized that this piece of mutton fat jade had always been worn close to her body, indicating that it held special significance.
But now it has been given to her daughter.
"Why can't I accept it? I couldn't make it to the baby's full moon celebration last time, so this is a belated gift."
"You must not refuse a gift from an elder, and you are not allowed to secretly keep it, otherwise your aunt will be angry."
Actually, she and her son had already prepared gifts for this trip, but upon seeing the little guy, she fell in love with him at first sight, so she changed her mind at the last minute.
"Cousin, please accept this from your mother on behalf of Tangtang!"
Lu Haoze also advised, saying that he also wanted to hold Xiaotangtang, but his mother was currently so attached to her that she would never let go, so he could only wait.
Liu Sulan had no choice but to give up.
After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Sulan suddenly remembered that her aunt had a daughter who seemed to be a year or two older than her, so she asked curiously, "Auntie, where is my cousin?"
Why hasn't she come?
She was secretly planning that if her cousin wasn't married, she could meet Brother Jiang and maybe even find a happy marriage.
To everyone's surprise, my aunt smiled helplessly and said, "Sigh, your cousin has been married for two years now and is happily taking care of her child at home!"
There's simply no time to come and play.
"When the child is a little older, she can bring the child to visit you."
