But that was her son's concern. Aunt Xia was still living happily in the village under the leadership of Song Jinxiu.
It happened to be the autumn harvest season, and the children all came back from vacation to help with the work, and the village suddenly became more lively.
"Xiao Song, did you know that Principal Yu is going to marry Erni after the autumn harvest?" Aunt Pang said happily to Song Jinxiu.
"Puff." Song Jinxiu spat out a mouthful of water. "Are you crazy? How old is Erni?"
"Which Erni are you talking about, the one from the An family?" Aunt Pang looked at Song Jinxiu in confusion.
"Are you stupid? The one from the An family is only eleven or twelve years old this year."
"Then I only know this Erni." Song Jinxiu said with a pout, otherwise why would she be so scared.
"The one from the Lin family, the one at the foot of Zhuzilin Mountain, is nineteen years old this year. She only has an old mother at home. In recent years, she has been looking for a son-in-law or to bring her mother with her to marry into the family.
"I've never found anyone suitable, but who would have thought I'd fall in love with Principal Yu?" Auntie Pang said cheerfully.
Principal Yu is already grown up and it’s time for him to get married.
I was worried that his family would urge him to go back and get married, but now it’s different. He just married a girl from the village and settled down here.
"Have they returned to Shanghai to meet their parents?" Song Jinxiu asked curiously.
"Not yet, I just wrote a letter back. My family should agree with it, and they also sent a gift to Erni.
But since they are so far away, Principal Yu has to arrange the marriage himself.
"But Principal Yu said that he would take Erni back at the end of the year to help her get to know the roads and people," said Auntie Pang.
"Oh, that's great. I will definitely come to join in the fun. Have you set a time?" Song Jinxiu wondered if she should also bring some gift.
"It's booked. The sixth day of the ninth lunar month is a good day for marriage. It just so happens that everyone is free and can help out." Aunt Pang said.
"Isn't it next month? Why are you in such a hurry?" Song Jinxiu said after calculating the date.
"What's the rush? The furniture and quilts are almost ready.
As for the house, both of them said that they would rebuild it in a few years and use the room where Principal Yu lives now as their wedding house.
As for the furniture, everything is complete, and since Principal Yu’s parents aren’t here, we have to keep it simple,” Auntie Pang said regretfully.
Who doesn't want to marry in style? There's nothing you can do about it.
Aunt Xia pricked up her ears and listened. When Xiu Xiu got married in the future, not only would he and Old Xia be present, but they would also have to set up more tables.
There will be a wedding banquet here and there will be one in Beijing, after all, there are many comrades waiting to attend the wedding.
After playing for a few days, Aunt Xia suggested going back to the city. She couldn't stay here all the time, so she had to let Xiuxiu stay with her.
She still has a job.
Song Jinxiu didn't mind, and the substitute was also very happy, because working one more day meant getting one more day's salary.
It's much more comfortable than taking care of the baby at home.
In the end, Song Jinxiu went back to work obediently.
However, Aunt Xia would prepare breakfast every morning so that Song Jinxiu would have something to eat as soon as she woke up. She would also make different dishes for fear that she would get tired of it.
After eating, I let her go to work without washing the dishes. I told her that she had worked hard all day and needed to take a rest.
Song Jinxiu felt guilty. How could her job be hard?
Finally, two people wash together, one person washes and the other rinses. Washing twice will make it cleaner.
Song Jinxiu was afraid that Aunt Xia would be bored, so she would take her to visit Aunt Cuihua and Aunt Cuiqin's homes, and take her to the big tree to listen to gossip.
Sometimes I take her to work with me so that she can see that her job is really not tiring.
Aunt Xia nodded. "Girls just need to do some easy work. Why don't you find an office position? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sit there?"
"Uncle Dong said the same thing, but I like it to be more lively. It has a more lively atmosphere here.
Look at all the people coming and going every day. Sometimes you can even listen to other people's gossip, how interesting it is." Song Jinxiu whispered to Aunt Xia.
Aunt Xia covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "That's true, you're like a naughty monkey, you can't sit still even if I ask you to."
"Aunt Xia, you have become a bad person now. You never spoke to me like this before." Song Jinxiu accused.
This made Aunt Xia laugh secretly.
"Xiao Song, your mother is so young. Why hasn't she been here before?" the older sister next door asked curiously.
"Sister, this is my aunt." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
"Oh, sorry. You look so much alike, I thought it was your mother. Then your mother and your aunt must look alike too." The older sister next door said with an embarrassed smile.
Song Jinxiu looked at Aunt Xia and thought, do they look alike? Maybe all beautiful women look alike.
Aunt Xia looked at Song Jinxiu. It turned out that they looked quite similar. They both had big eyes and high noses.
But she has dimples, Xia Xingchen also has dimples, but Song Jinxiu doesn't.
"Let's take some pictures after get off work. When I go back to Beijing, I can take them out and look at them when I miss you." Aunt Xia said in annoyance.
"What a pity! Why didn't I think of it when we were in Beijing? Otherwise, we could have taken a family photo."
"It's okay, it's okay. The three of us can go take the photos when Uncle Xia comes to pick you up." Song Jinxiu comforted.
"Then your Uncle Xia must be very happy. In fact, we also had a lovely daughter before, but it's a pity that we didn't keep her." Aunt Xia touched Song Jinxiu's head lovingly.
"If she had had the chance to grow up, she would be about your age. My health has been poor since my daughter died.
That’s why your Uncle Xia didn’t let me go out to work, so I just kept busy at home.”
"That's easy. From now on, I will be your daughter." Song Jinxiu said sweetly.
"Silly child." Aunt Xia smiled and touched her head. If she turned into a daughter, what would happen to her silly son?
Besides, if it's a daughter, won't she have to get married? It's better to be a daughter-in-law, so that I can always keep her by my side.
Aunt Xia lives a good life here. She occasionally chats with old sisters and listens to gossip. Song Jinxiu also takes her to play with Xiangxiu's twins from time to time.
Every week there are a lot of students coming here.
Aunt Xia felt that she didn't want to go back to Beijing anymore.
I'm alone at home all day, and the people around me aren't so harmonious. When I chat, I have to be mindful not to say sensitive words, so as not to get mad at others.
The main reason is that our family is from outside, unlike others who are all relatives connected to each other, forming a family business.
The family is made up of outsiders with no roots, and the father and son hold considerable power, so it's inevitable that everyone is envious and jealous.
Back in Beijing, the father and son could only eat their two or three meals in the cafeteria, and when they got home there was no one to talk to.
Fortunately, I have been very busy recently, otherwise I would definitely not be used to it.
