Lan Guoer didn't remember what time she fell asleep last night. It was already past ten o'clock when she woke up.
I don't know when snowflakes started falling outside the window, but the room was warm because of the kang.
Lan Guoer supported her aching waist and sat up, cursing the unrestrained man a hundred times in her heart!
It was decided that he must be banned from drinking!
She experienced firsthand the man's drunken madness last night, and she really couldn't bear it!
The sound of children playing could be faintly heard outside the house.
Lan Guoer put on her clothes, washed up, and opened the door.
What meets the eye is endless white.
Speaking of snow scenes, Lan Guoer had been to many places in her previous life.
Like the Swiss Alps, the Japanese North Road, the Canadian Rockies... all of them are famous ice and snow holy places in later generations.
But the scenery before her moved her the most, silently touching her heartstrings.
The thick snow covered the entire village, and the houses, which were not tall to begin with, were bulging like small snowballs in the snow.
The dolls wrapped like meatballs are like a group of snow elves, playing happily in this snow-covered world, leaving behind a string of happy little footprints.
Near noon, curls of smoke rose from the white snow. One could imagine the cozy little houses filled with the aroma of food, families gathered together, the whole house filled with laughter and joy...
This is probably the charm of home!
No matter how poor it is or how far away the children are, their attachment to it is engraved in their bones.
"It's really true. It's so cold, what are you standing outside looking at?"
At this time, Aunt Wang from the village chief's family walked towards her with her hands in her pockets and a smile on her face.
"Aunt Wang, I haven't seen heavy snow here in a long time. I missed it so much that I came out to take a look!"
Lan Guoer imitated the original owner's tone and greeted,
"Aunt Wang, who are you going to visit in this cold weather?"
“Isn’t this…”
Aunt Wang looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered,
"I was just planning to go to your mother-in-law's place! Since I met you, it's the same as asking you."
Lan Guoer was confused by her mysterious look.
"Aunt, what do you want to ask? Just say it."
"It's like this, Auntie just wants to ask you, is the man who came to our village with you really your third uncle?"
"Yes!" Lan Guoer was even more puzzled when she heard her mention the Third Master! She asked back,
"Auntie asked me what happened to my third uncle?"
The Third Master had just arrived in the village yesterday and had almost no interaction with the villagers. Lan Guoer really couldn't figure out what Aunt Wang meant.
"Hi!" Aunt Wang said with an awkward laugh when she mentioned her purpose of coming.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this!
You also know my sister-in-law Wang Qiao. She has been brought back to her parents' home for two or three years. To be honest, many people came to her house to propose marriage, but my sister-in-law is too proud and didn't like any of them!
My old man saw you when you returned to the village yesterday. Seeing that you brought strangers back to the village, he didn't ask much because there were so many people.
It just so happened that this morning your eldest sister-in-law went home to borrow a shovel, and my old man asked a few more questions. Only then did he know that it was your third uncle.
Aunt Wang patted Lan Guoer's hand and leaned forward affectionately.
"Well, I heard from your eldest sister-in-law that your third uncle has always been single. What do you think of my sister-in-law?"
Lan Guoer: “…”
This means, you're attracted to the Third Master?
Although the Third Master was over fifty years old, she had to admit that he was the type that became more charming as he got older. His appearance was naturally noble, and coupled with his unruly temperament, not to mention young widows, even unmarried girls were rushing to get close to him.
Don’t ask how Lan Guoer knew all this. It’s because the Third Master has A Ming who loves to show his affection to her!
The original owner knew Wang Qiao from Village Chief Wang’s family.
Wang Qiao is the youngest sister of Village Chief Wang and is only in her thirties this year.
Three years ago, her husband died of a sudden illness. Because she only gave birth to two daughters and no grandson to carry on the family line, she was not welcomed by her husband's family and was often bullied by her mother-in-law and several sisters-in-law.
Village chief Wang loved his sister so much that he couldn't bear to see her and her two children back to her parents' home.
Now that I think about it, it has indeed been two or three years since she returned to her parents' home.
When it comes to looks, Wang Qiao is truly impeccable! Before she got married, she was the most popular girl in this village.
My family background is one of the best in Xiachuan Village. My father was the former village chief and had a high prestige in the village.
Now her eldest brother has taken over his father's job. Although he is just a small village chief, he has considerable power in the village these days.
No wonder Wang Qiao is picky even in her second marriage.
But how can I match my own uncle...
Lan Guoer felt that there was still some gap between the two of them in all aspects.
"Aunt Qiao is truly amazing!"
Lan Guoer forced a smile, "But I can't make the decision on this matter! Don't be fooled by my third uncle's handsome appearance, he has a very bad temper! There is really no one in the family who can make the decision for him.
"But, Aunt Wang, I understand what you mean. I'll ask Third Uncle what he thinks. If he's interested, I'll get back to you. Is that okay?"
They are fellow villagers, and Village Chief Wang usually takes good care of the Tang family. Lan Guoer couldn't refuse directly, so she replied tactfully.
"Okay! Why not?"
Aunt Wang saw that Lan Guoer was willing to pass on the message, and the corners of her mouth raised high.
"Guo'er, you have to help your aunt put in a few good words for your uncle. It's not easy for your aunt to get your aunt to speak softly. You said she is getting older and it's not a good idea to always live in her parents' home, right?"
When Lan Guoer heard what Aunt Wang said, she understood what she meant.
It has been said since ancient times that the relationship between sisters-in-law is difficult. This married sister-in-law has been living in her own home with her two children for several years. No matter how well she behaves as a sister-in-law on the surface, she can't help feeling unhappy in her heart.
"That's the truth!
But Aunt Wang, don't hold your hopes too high. My third uncle is very resistant to marriage, otherwise he wouldn't be single at this age. I'm afraid the outcome won't be what you want."
Lan Guoer took precautions in advance! She didn't want the relationship between the two families to become strained because of the failure of this matter.
Aunt Wang is not without self-awareness. No matter how good her family's conditions are in the village, what can they mean in Kyoto?
But since her sister-in-law has taken a fancy to him, she has to try her best, right? What if this thing works out?
Wouldn’t her Wang family also benefit from this and have a relative in Kyoto?
"You have to think positively about everything! Auntie, let me tell you, fate is a mysterious thing! What if they fall in love with each other?
Guo'er, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm waiting for your good news!"
After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she didn't give Lan Guoer a chance to speak again, for fear that she would say something to refuse again, and turned around and walked back.
Lan Guoer shook her head helplessly. Hey! Is this something that can be achieved just by thinking positively?!
