It's about hairstyles again. Auntie touched her hair.
Su Xueli said solemnly, "Second Aunt, to be honest, your hairstyle and temperament deserve high-end, fashionable clothes. But the cotton coat you made yourself looks really... indescribable."
My second aunt knew perfectly well, but the hair had already been permed, and there was no going back!
It hadn't been straightened yet at this point.
She was filled with remorse, but her upbringing wouldn't allow her to complain about her niece-in-law, who had kindly dressed her up.
Su Xueli continued to urge her, "Second Aunt, I'm going to the department store tomorrow too, so please keep me company, Second Aunt."
Auntie frowned, unsure of what to do.
Su Xueli took it upon herself to say, "It's settled then, Second Aunt. You'll be waiting for me at home tomorrow morning, and I'll come and get you. Now, I'll take you to my good friend's to buy some daily necessities."
Now that she was at the market, she had to go and see Yan Yan.
"You have sisters who sell daily necessities?" Auntie asked in surprise.
Su Xueli smiled smugly, "Yes, my sister is very beautiful. My second aunt will definitely like her."
After saying that, he took her arm and squeezed towards where Yan Yan was setting up her stall.
"Yan Yan!" Su Xueli called softly to Yan Yan, who was squatting by the stall eating a steamed bun.
"Oh, Snow Pear!" Yan Yan exclaimed in surprise, her mouth full of steamed buns.
"Haha, I've come to see you. This is my husband's second aunt. Second aunt, this is Yan Yan, whom I've known since childhood. She's like a sister to me."
"Hello, Second Aunt," Yan Yan greeted warmly and politely.
When the second aunt saw Yan Yan, such a great beauty, she exclaimed, "Oh my, no wonder my niece-in-law praised you for being so beautiful. You are truly breathtakingly beautiful!"
"Oh my, my second aunt is clearly a cultured person. She praised me so much that I was embarrassed."
“Yan Yan, your second aunt is a cultured person, she’s a teacher.”
Second Aunt looked at Yan Yan and said, "I'm not just praising you, but I've never seen anyone with such good skin. It's truly like smooth jade. Unlike the girls in our rural area who are exposed to the wind and sun, you look like a young lady from the city."
Su Xueli chimed in, "Yes, yes, my Yan Yan is just the type to find a rich and handsome guy."
Yan Yan didn't understand this popular term from later generations, and asked, "What is a tall, rich, and handsome man?"
Su Xueli said, "It means literally: tall, rich, and handsome."
Yan Yan's face darkened. Her husband was completely different, always belittling himself and saying that she was marrying above her station.
Second Aunt completely agreed with Su Xueli's words, "That's right, that's right. Such a beautiful girl, capable, and running her own business, she must choose a good son-in-law."
Yan Yan gave an awkward laugh and said something perfunctorily, then said to the two of them, "Second Aunt, Xue Li, it's New Year's, I'm giving each of you a bottle of face cream and a bottle of shampoo. Both brands are really good."
Second Aunt hurriedly said, "You're in business, how can you give things away? My niece-in-law and I are here to support your business. We happen to be short of face cream and shampoo, so please take two bottles of face cream and two bottles of shampoo."
He then took out some money and said, "Include all of them, one for me and one for my niece-in-law."
Su Xueli stopped her, saying, "Second Aunt, how can an elder buy things for a younger generation? I'll buy it for Second Aunt."
Second Aunt smiled and said, "Sherry, if you consider me your aunt, don't be so concerned about such a small thing. Besides, you accompanied me to the market in this cold weather, treated me to lunch, and will accompany me to the city tomorrow. Shouldn't I give you a gift?"
Su Xueli's eyes lit up: So she agreed to go to the city tomorrow?
