"Hello, Second Aunt." Wang Fang now knew that this was her second aunt.
"Oh, this is little Fang! She's grown so beautiful! It breaks my heart. Come here, let Auntie give her a hug." Wang Xiaolan took a liking to Wang Fang's fair and delicate face, which looked nothing like that of a typical rural child.
"Auntie, where have you been? I haven't seen you at all." Wang Fang fiddled with the buttons on Wang Xiaolan's chest. "I've been playing with Little Auntie the whole time, but she doesn't know either."
The child asked casually, but Wang Xiaolan felt embarrassed and sad. She quickly replied, "Auntie has been living in another city, so it's normal that you haven't seen me. But as long as you're good, you'll see Auntie eventually. Look, Auntie has come back to see you now."
"Hmm, are you still leaving, Auntie?"
This is yet another fatal problem.
Wang Xiaolan smiled helplessly and said, "Of course I have to go. Auntie is an adult, and she must have things to do."
"My dad and mom are adults, how can they stay at home? And my third and fourth uncles, and my three uncles, are all at home too. Why are you the only one going to go somewhere else?"
"this……"
"Fangwa, your aunt just came back from a long trip and is tired. Stand on the ground by yourself." Wang Tianxiao took his daughter from his sister's arms, put her on the ground, and made her stand close to her mother.
What's your name?
Wang Tianxiao didn't want to pay attention to Xiaoyuan, but seeing him standing there like that, he felt a little awkward and thought that no matter what, he should at least ask for his name.
"Zhao Xiaobao".
"Zhao Xiaobao," Wang Tianxiao repeated, then said calmly, "Are you married to my sister?"
"Second brother...why are you asking this?"
Wang Tianxiao ignored his sister's advice and continued to watch Zhao Xiaobao.
"No, not yet," Zhao Xiaobao replied with a forced smile.
"Why not get married?" Wang Tianxiao continued to ask.
"this……"
"Brother, it's me who doesn't want to get married. Actually, Xiaobao told me about this a long time ago," Wang Xiaolan took over the topic again.
"Oh, yes, yes, that's it. Lanlan didn't want to, and there was nothing I could do."
Why are you unwilling?
“This…” Wang Xiaolan avoided looking at her brother again, not daring to meet his gaze.
“Then you tell us.” Wang Tianxiao then turned his attention to Zhao Xiaobao.
"Lanlan said... Lanlan said she's still young, yes, that's it. She said she's very young and doesn't want to get married yet, right, Lanlan?"
Wang Xiaolan nodded, without denying it.
Wang Tianxiao looked at the two people with some doubt, wondering what to do next, when he suddenly heard a high-pitched and mournful suona sound on the field.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain was drawn back, and the Qinqiang opera began.
Today's play is a classic: Mu Guiying Takes Command.
This is an excerpt from a traditional opera, beginning with Yang Zongbao being captured by Mu Guiying. As soon as the curtain rises, the two sides are seen fighting back and forth on stage, accompanied by the sound of clashing swords. The agile figures of the male and female martial arts performers on stage immediately attract the attention of the audience, who cheer in unison.
Wang Tianxiao and the others were also drawn to the attention.
In both his past and present lives, he hadn't seen Qinqiang opera live for many years.
Looking at Zhao Xiaobao, he was initially moved by the actors on stage, but many of them lost interest because they couldn't understand the language and singing style.

Qinqiang opera is a dialect of Qin province with a unique singing style. Even many locals in Qingcheng cannot fully understand it, let alone outsiders.
Bored, he slowly moved closer to Wang Xiaolan and occasionally massaged her shoulders.
Wang Xiaolan remained expressionless, neither rejecting nor agreeing.
I just quietly watched the stage.
Wang Tianxiao saw this and felt very uncomfortable.
I just can't accept that such a rotten man could get involved with my sister.
He couldn't help himself and stood next to Wang Xiaolan. "Xiaolan, when are you planning to go back to see your mother?"
Wang Xiaolan didn't react at first, but after a while she said, "I don't know how to get back."
Wang Tianxiao sensed a hint of hesitation in her voice, so he encouraged her, "Mother is different now. She really misses you, and her health isn't good either. She doesn't even know..."
"What's wrong with Mother's health?" Wang Xiaolan asked.
"I can't really explain it, but I often experience numbness on one side of my body."
Of course, Wang Tianxiao couldn't say that his mother might become paralyzed on one side.
But the truth is, since her hemiplegia, her mother Zhang Yufeng seems to have some mental issues. She's become much more talkative than before, and she likes to talk badly about others behind their backs and sow discord among her siblings.
That's why Wang Xiaolan never reconciled with her mother in her previous life.
Having gone through the experience of her child's one-month celebration last time, the mother has made some concessions, a stark contrast to her previous stubbornness.
Now that Wang Xiaolan has gone back, they might be able to reconcile.
Once they reconcile, he'll find a reason to get rid of someone like Zhao Xiaobao.
Don't dwell too much on the past. Don't let things become a trap and keep your sister stuck in it, making her sink deeper and deeper.
This short-lived family, most of them died very young, usually before the age of sixty.
His wish was to change everyone's fate to some extent.
"How could it be numb? Is it from being frozen or something...?"
"It's hard to say for sure, so if it doesn't work out, you should go back and see her. If you keep messing around like this, aren't you afraid that something bad will happen in the future and you'll regret it for the rest of your life?"
"Xiao Lan, why don't you go back and visit your aunt?" Zhao Xiaobao said from the side.
Wang Tianxiao glanced at him, indicating that it was none of his business.
He then pulled his head back.
"But what if she scolds me again if I go back?" Wang Xiaolan was worried and still reluctant, feeling uneasy.
