We didn't talk about this topic for long.
Then I heard Lai Yanling say, "Zhiyao, you don't have to go to work tomorrow, right?"
Although we knew a few days ago that Song Zhiyao would not have to go to work tomorrow, the doctor's schedule could change at any time, especially in the current situation where there is a shortage of doctors.
Sometimes the rest time becomes less. In the past six months, Song Zhiyao has only rested twice. Sometimes during the rest time, she would follow Director Liu to learn.
When I heard Lai Yanling ask this, I knew something was wrong. "I don't need to go to the hospital tomorrow. My teacher also told me not to go to the hospital and to rest at home for a day.
Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
When talking about tomorrow, Lai Yanling smiled and said, "Tomorrow is your uncle's birthday. I plan to take you to celebrate his 40th birthday. I'm so grateful for your uncle's care over the years."
40th birthday is a birthday celebration, so Lai Yanling wanted to make a delicious meal for her brother and have some fun together as a family. She went over to say hello to her eldest brother and his wife a few days ago.
Song Zhiyao knew that she had an uncle, and she had often heard her younger brothers and sisters say that her uncle was very good to them. She also knew that her uncle was a police officer and was very busy, often traveling on business.
She hasn't seen her uncle in the more than half a year since she returned to the Song family. She can understand the mission of her profession. She is very busy in the hospital and can only spare a few days of free time in a month.
As for why other people from her uncle's family had never come, Lai Yanling had not said before that she would take her to her uncle's house. There must be a story behind it. She planned to ask her younger brothers and sisters later.
I saw that my younger brother and sister were in high spirits when going to their uncle's house. I guess the people there are pretty nice, otherwise these two little brats would have been furious.
Since it’s my uncle’s birthday and I’m the niece, I must buy some kind of gift since it’s my first time meeting him. “Mom, I’ll go to the department store tomorrow and buy a nice gift for my uncle.”
She knew that Lai Yanling didn't have much money, and that the monthly expenses for a family of four and foreign debts took up most of her money, so she took the initiative to buy her a gift.
Lai Yanling originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought of her brother's birthday and did not refuse as usual. She also planned to remember to spend the money on the gift tomorrow and return it to Song Zhiyao then.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Song Zhiyao continued, "Tomorrow we will all wear new clothes. Don't be reluctant to wear your new cotton-padded jacket. It's so cold, everyone should dress warmly."
I found that they were reluctant to wear the clothes I bought for them. I tried them on at the beginning, but I hardly ever saw them wear them out.
My younger brothers and sisters definitely want to wear them, but Lai Yanling usually tells them to wait until the clothes are worn out before wearing them, which Song Zhiyao disagrees with.
After hearing what their eldest sister said, the two little ones subconsciously looked at Lai Yanling, as if to say that they would not dare to wear it if their mother did not allow it.
Lai Yanling laughed at their actions and said, "Since your eldest sister has spoken, you two are allowed to wear new clothes tomorrow. But you must stay away from the fire and don't burn holes in your clothes."
When they heard their mother's permission to wear new clothes, they jumped for joy and quickly took their own cotton-padded jackets to try out the new clothes.
I couldn't hear what Lai Yanling said next.
After the two kids tried on the clothes, they pulled Song Zhiyao aside to talk in private. Lai Yanling looked at the three of them and shook her head and went back to her own work.
These two little kids were very smart. From Song Zhiyao's tone and eyes, they knew that their sister must have something to ask them, so they started whispering to each other.
My uncle is a generous person and has always been very good to their family. Whenever he has time, he will buy a lot of things to visit them. It is because they have an uncle who is a public security officer that no one dares to bully them in the textile factory.
Even some children who said they had no father would shut up when they heard that they had an uncle who was a police officer. When Song Ruyun said this, she was filled with pride.
"Sister, do you know? Every time those people want to bully me, I say my uncle is a police officer, and those who want to bully me are scared and run away."
Song Zihao looked embarrassed. "At first, when someone bullied me, I didn't dare to say anything. Later, when I saw my second sister saying that, I said the same thing. Gradually, fewer people bullied me."
I heard my younger brothers and sisters’ descriptions, and realized that although their lives had been a little harder over the years, they had not suffered much harm, and at least there were no bad people bullying them.
They must be afraid of their last uncle. Lai Yanling is such a young woman with a child at home, so naturally she is targeted by many people with bad intentions.
It was also because she had a brother who was a public security officer that she could be so safe. Thinking of this, Song Zhiyao was full of gratitude to this uncle whom she had never met before, and then calculated the money in her pocket.
I'm thinking of buying some more goodies tomorrow, and the settlement will be for him, as the niece, to thank his uncle on behalf of his younger brothers and sisters. I'm sure Lai Yanling will be happy to see it.
"What about my aunt?" Song Zhiyao really wanted to know who her aunt was. It was normal for her uncle to be too busy to come home, but why didn't her aunt come to see her? Why didn't Lai Yanling take them back to see her aunt? When they mentioned their aunt, the two of them pouted. They looked a little scared and resisted. Such a complicated expression made Song Zhiyao even more curious.

After a long time, Song Ruyun said weakly, "Sister, what are you talking about? It's really a letdown for my aunt. My aunt is really talkative. She keeps talking to us every time she sees us."
From her tone and expression, you can tell that this aunt is very difficult to deal with. Someone who can scare Little Pepper must be a very difficult person.
"I don't like my aunt. She always likes to say something irrelevant. Last time, she even introduced a date to my mother, and she said that my mother didn't know what was good for her."
Song Zihao also expressed his views with an indignant look on his face.
No one would want their mother to remarry. Their father just didn't come home. Who knows, maybe he will come back one day?
Every time my aunt sees his mother, she starts talking about introducing her to someone, and she always says, "If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. Don't you think about how old you are?"
With the help of her elder brother and sister-in-law over the years, Lai Yanling could only dodge every time and was not in a position to argue with her elder brother and sister-in-law. This is why she did not take Song Zhiyao back.
If she went back when her eldest brother was not around, she might be dragged by her eldest sister-in-law to have her fortune told. Lai Yanling only wanted to wait for Song Yuanzhou to come back. Even if he didn't come back, she would take good care of their three children and had no intention of remarrying.
She guessed some things after hearing what her younger brother and sister said. Based on her understanding of Lai Yanling, she could also get something useful from this information.
"Okay, this is a matter between adults. Be more respectful to your aunt in the future. After all, she is our elder and has helped you a lot over the years."
Even if my uncle is very generous, he wouldn't send so many things if my aunt doesn't agree.
