New Year's Day.
Song Yun and Mo Hong got their marriage certificate. They went to the Civil Affairs Bureau early in the morning, and took Song Xiaoxiao back to the Mo family home for lunch, where she officially started calling them Mom and Dad.
We went back to Heping Lane for dinner that evening.
The Song family was bustling with activity. Song Zhicheng's family of five had come, as had Song Yingying. Xu Songyuan, who hadn't gone to his stall that night, had also come to the Song family. The whole family was celebrating the couple's wedding.
Mo Hong officially started calling them Mom and Dad this time.
Grandpa Song laughed heartily, "From now on, don't call me Uncle Song, just call me Dad."
Song Yun blushed deeply.
Grandpa and Grandma Song gave each of them a red envelope containing fifty yuan.
Song Xiaoxiao is still calling him Uncle Mo for the time being. Song Yun doesn't force Song Xiaoxiao to change her address, and Mo Hong hasn't made that request either.
Just let things take their course.
Grandma Song privately asked Song Yun what Mo Hong's parents meant. Mo Hong didn't have any children, and the two of them got married. It was estimated that Mo's family was thinking about having another child.
Song Yun: "His parents said it depends on what we both think."
Having children is fine, not having children is also fine.
Anyway, Mo Hong's younger brother has started a family and has grandchildren.
Grandma Song thought for a moment and said, "If you want to have a baby, you have to think it through. You're not young anymore, and there are risks involved in getting pregnant and giving birth."
Song Yun's eyes were slightly red. "Mom, I know."
Mo Hong's clothes and luggage were moved to Heping Lane a couple of days ago, and tonight he will officially move into Song Yun's courtyard house.
As the family of three walked away, Song's grandparents felt happy for Song Yun and her daughter, and their eyes welled up with tears.
These past years have been truly tough.
After seeing off Song Zhicheng's family, Old Master Song was in a good mood and invited Song Xinfu and Xu Songyuan to drink together.
The second son can't drink alcohol. He only had a small sip and then felt dizzy and went to bed.
The second child has been taking Chinese medicine for about half a year and has shown significant improvement.
The doctor said that at this rate, he should be mostly recovered by next summer or autumn.

Xu Xue spent her days wandering around Heping Lane whenever she had free time, and got a thorough understanding of the Song brothers' affairs.
She hadn't known everything before, but now she finally understood. Xu Guiying's eldest son had argued with her about the house he bought, or perhaps he was after Xu Guiying's job. It seemed he didn't know Xu Guiying had bought three houses!
They've already started fighting over the division of the family property. If they find out that Xu Guiying kept the house a secret, they'll cause a huge uproar!
Song Anmin recognized Xu Xue, but Xu Xue did not intend to look for him.
Song Jianmin was the youngest, and his fighting ability was far less than that of Song Guomin.
So Xu Xue found out where Song Guomin worked and went there directly.
Song Guomin was unaware of Xu Zhongtang's family affairs. He managed to leave work on time that day.
During this period, Song Guomin and Liu Aimei's relationship improved considerably, and neither of them mentioned the matter of Liu's mother borrowing money.
Liu Aimei has returned to her parents' home twice, and both times the encounters were very unpleasant. Now Xiong Jingyan treats Liu's family home as her own, which makes Li Xia so angry that she curses and swears at home every day.
On his way back, Song Guomin also bought some fruit.
Just then, he heard people behind him talking about buying a house. When he heard the name "Xu Guiying", Song Guomin froze.
He turned around. "What did you say? Xu Guiying bought three houses?"
“Yes, but she’s one of our agency’s biggest clients. You know her, so we just mentioned her casually.” Xu Xue had specially invited Sun Xiumin to act out the scene.
Sun Xiumin also said, "That's right, they're rich."
Song Guomin's expression froze. "When did this happen?"
"You met her around August or September last year?"
Song Guomin didn't even buy any fruit; he went straight to Heping Lane.
Song Yingying returned from the Qin family today and had dinner in Heping Lane tonight. Song Yun and her family of three were also there.
It was all very lively.
It's January 6th now, and there are only twenty-odd days left until Chinese New Year.
Seeing that everyone was there, Grandpa Song specially opened a bottle of wine that had been brewed in the summer, which was suitable for men, women, and children of all ages and had a low alcohol content.
Just then, there was a knock on the Song family's gate.
"Mom and Dad! Open the door!"
Xu Guiying: "Why is the boss here?"
Song Xiaoxiao looked out curiously; she didn't have a good impression of her uncle.
Song Yingying frowned; nothing good ever came from her older brother's visits.
It was snowing outside, and Song Xinfu got up to open the door.
The eldest son stood outside the door, his eyes red, glaring angrily at Song Xinfu: "Dad, how could you keep this a secret! You don't treat us like family at all!"
Song Xinfu wiped the spittle off his face. "What are you babbling about? What are you doing here? Keep your mouth away from your father."
Song Guomin clenched his fists, watching a group of people sitting at a table inside, enjoying their meal together, while his family of four lived coldly outside, with nothing at all!
Song Guomin was extremely resentful!
"Dad, don't you have anything to say to me?!"
Song Xinfu wondered if his old man had some kind of mental problem and sincerely suggested, "Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"dad!"
Song Xinfu frowned. "You little brat, instead of getting down to business, I'm closing the shop."
"Dad, you bought three houses, why didn't you tell us! Is it fun to keep it from us?! Is it just to separate us from the family when the property is divided? Who do you want to leave those houses to? The second son?!"
"While I'm still struggling to afford a house and figuring out how to pay off my debts, you guys bought three houses! Three houses!!!"
Song Xinfu narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing his boss's expression.
No wonder they came in so aggressively tonight, it turns out it's about this...
"What are you talking about? Who bought a house? Who told you that?"
Song Guomin's eyes reddened with anger. He already has two children, yet his emotions are still so unstable, and he's also incredibly stupid.
Song Xinfu was very disappointed in him.
"Dad, don't try to trick me into telling you anything. You've definitely bought a house!"
Xu Guiying then came out.
"Song Guomin, what do you think you're doing? It's so late at night, watch your manners. We've already separated, this isn't your home. Get the hell out of here."
Looking at his mother, Song Guomin felt an unprecedented sense of betrayal and rejection. His voice grew louder and louder, "Mom! You bought a house, why didn't you tell me!"
Song Xinfu glanced at Xu Guiying.
He didn't tell anyone else.
