The monkey was seen off.
Bu Lingcai followed Wu Yuanyuan and the other person to see Uncle Tie.
Nine years have passed since we parted ways in Gu County. Aunt Zhao has aged considerably, and her hair has turned gray.
She was overjoyed to see Buling and rushed over to greet her: "Little Buling? It's Little Buling! After all these years, how come you're still so beautiful?"
That means Aunt Zhao was very sincere in praising someone.
"No way! I'm old now~"
Aunt Zhao grabbed Bu Ling's hand and looked her up and down: "Nonsense, if you're old, what will I become? An old monster?"
“Auntie, you don’t look old at all.” Bu Ling wanted to return the favor.
"You little rascal, you still have such a silver tongue." Aunt Zhao patted Bu Ling affectionately.
Although she was smiling, there was always a hint of sorrow between her brows.
Seeing this, Bu Ling comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry, my Uncle Tie is a lucky man, he'll definitely be alright."
“Yes, Mom, the doctor said Dad can have surgery tomorrow, and he’ll be fine after the surgery, so don’t worry,” Wu Yuanyuan reassured him.
"Really?" Aunt Zhao looked at Wu Yuanyuan expectantly.
Wu Yuanyuan nodded firmly: "Really."
"God bless you, God bless you!" Aunt Zhao clasped her hands together and wept with joy.
"Mom, it should be said that it was the spirits that blessed us." With her father-in-law's surgery looking promising, Wu Yuanyuan, relieved, returned to her old self.
"Yes, yes, thanks to Xiao Bu, thanks to Xiao Bu." Aunt Zhao took Bu Ling's hand again: "Xiao Bu, thank you."
"Auntie, you're too kind. You and my uncle have taken good care of me before." Buling smiled and wiped away her tears.
Aunt Zhao knew that Bu Ling was saying this to comfort her.
Those who are family know their own situation. When she took care of Buling, it was mostly just adding to his already good fortune.
But Bu Ling is different; this is a life-saving matter, and no amount of gratitude is too much.
“Auntie, let’s not stand, let’s sit down and talk. I’d like to tell you about what’s going on in our compound.”
"And how are Pingping and Guoguo doing?" Buling pulled Aunt Zhao to sit down.
Because they were people with connections, Director Si specially arranged a bed for them.
Seeing that the two were about to have a long talk, Tiehe said, "Mom, Xiaobu, let me go buy something to eat. You haven't eaten all day."
Aunt Zhao then realized, "Yes, yes, buy more. It's mealtime, and Xiao Bu hasn't eaten yet. Don't worry about spending money."
“Okay, Auntie, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Bu Ling readily agreed.
Tiehe went to buy food, and Wu Yuanyuan said she was going to get hot water.
Only Aunt Zhao and Bu Ling remained in the ward.
Buling really wanted to know what happened in the backyard after she left. Although Wu Yuanyuan would tell her in her letters, it was no match for the significance of gossiping in person.
Her first concern was for Grandma Tian and her grandson: "How is Grandma Tian? How's Congcong? How's his studies?"
Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh: "That's incredible! Congcong got into university, and he's studying medicine! That's amazing!"
"Yeah, that's amazing!" Bu Ling was quite the straight man.
"And that's not all. A couple of years ago, after that kid graduated, he took Sister Tian away, saying he was going to enjoy his retirement. All the old folks in the neighborhood were so envious." Aunt Zhao's tone was also full of envy.
“Auntie, you don’t need to envy others. You still have An’an, right? I heard he’s doing very well in his studies.” Bu Ling knew very well how to provide emotional support.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao perked up: "That's nothing, but this kid is indeed..." (The rest is omitted)
Bling didn't interrupt, just listened with a smile, occasionally offering some emotional support.
Only after Aunt Zhao had spoken her mind did she ask others.
"What about Sister Xiangru and Sister Wanqing? How are they?"
"They haven't come back much since they moved out of the compound, but I've heard they're doing quite well," Aunt Zhao said.
"We women, if our men are upright and don't mess around, and our children are filial, then we have the best life ever."
I regret to inform Bling that I cannot agree with this view, but she didn't say anything.
They've lived their whole lives this way, why should she interfere?
"What about the rest of the Qi family?"
"With Qi Gong not coming home, only that annoying Qi family woman and her precious son are left in the yard." Aunt Zhao said with disdain when talking about the two of them.
"Qi Yuyang is over thirty years old. He doesn't look for a job or a wife. He just lies at home all day, waiting to be waited on." Such a grown man, doesn't he feel ashamed?
"And this guy still says he was exhausted from working in the countryside a few years ago and needs to rest more."
Bu Ling's scathing comment: "Undoubtedly the mother's own."
If she weren't her own mother, would she be so heartless?
"Let's not talk about those wretched women," Aunt Zhao waved her hand dismissively. "Let's talk about something happier. Do you remember Widow Liu?"
"Mmm." Bu Ling nodded.
"She's settled down after coming back and is living a peaceful life with Jiang Sheng," Aunt Zhao said.
"A few years ago, she set up a small stall selling steamed buns, and now she runs a restaurant. Many people in Gu County envy her."
After saying that, Aunt Zhao sighed, "That Jiang Sheng is a fool with a fool's luck. Later, Widow Liu even gave birth to a big, fat son for him."
Buling listened. Widow Liu had turned over a new leaf and could now make a good living on her own.
Not bad, not bad.
She still hoped the couple would get along well, after all, they shared a common enemy.
Speaking of enemies, "How is Aunt Shen doing?"
Aunt Zhao's expression became indescribable: "She's become attached to Old Qian's family."
Bling: ? ? ?
"Tell me more about it."
