Chapter 158 The Aunts Come to the Door



At first Tong Yiya thought she was here to get medicine, but when the person entered the house, she saw the sewing basket in the aunt's hand with a small piece of cloth in it.

The old lady came into the pharmacy, looked at the charcoal fire and said, "Hey, Tong Zhiqing, your home is still warm."

"Auntie, come here and sit closer to warm yourself. It just snowed outside. Are you feeling unwell?" Tong Yiya asked as she asked, inviting her to sit down and pouring her a cup of hot tea.

"No, no, I was just bored at home, so I thought of taking my needlework out to visit other people. Then I remembered that there was a charcoal fire here, and people could sit and do needlework, so I shamelessly came over," said the aunt with a smile.

Tong Yiya heard that she was here to enjoy the charcoal fire, but she didn't mind, so she smiled and replied: "I'm glad that you thought of coming to visit me and talk to me."

"I'm glad Tong Zhiqing doesn't mind. Just continue with your work and don't need to call me," the aunt said.

Hearing her say this, Tong Yiya sat back and continued grinding the medicine. The aunt warmed her hands, picked up the needle and thread from the sewing basket on the side and started threading the needle. Then she picked up the cloth inside and opened it to find a piece of clothing that had already been cut.

The two of them were silent for about five minutes, and then the aunt suddenly asked, "Tong Zhiqing is not young anymore, is he eighteen years old?"

"Not yet, auntie," Tong Yiya asked

"Really? Then I guess it won't be long until you're eighteen," the aunt continued to ask.

“There’s still more than half a year left.”

"Then it's time to start looking for someone. If you like someone, you can get along for a while. When you turn 18, you can get married," said the aunt.

Tong Yiya didn't expect that the aunt came for this matter. She thought that she would start introducing people to her soon. The expression on her face suddenly became bad, but because she lowered her head, the aunt didn't notice.

When the aunt heard that she didn't say anything, she continued, "As women, we should get married early. Only when we have a family can we have a complete family. And if we give birth to children early, our bodies can recover better."

Tong Yiya replied: "I'm still young, aunt, and I want to find someone I like. I don't want to marry just anyone."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at the aunt. After hearing what she said, the aunt saw her expression turn bad and knew that her trip might have been in vain.

So I just picked a random topic and chatted with Tong Yiya for about fifteen minutes, then said, "Oh, I remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll go back now."

"Okay, then I'll leave soon, so I won't see you off," Tong Yiya said.

After the aunt left, Tong Yiya felt a headache thinking that there would be many more aunts waiting for her in the future.

She remembered that the system had issued a task for her to find a partner. She didn't pay much attention to it at that time, but now she is getting older and older. The marriage age for men and women is 20 for men and 18 for women. If she is not married or has a partner at this age, the aunties in the village will talk about her anytime when they gossip in the future.

In order to avoid becoming the target of gossip among the aunties in the village, Tong Yiya thought that she really had to take the matter of finding a partner seriously.

But there are only a few men she knows now. After thinking about them, she felt that Deng Jinbo and Fu Shinian were the most outstanding. However, Deng Jinbo himself had already rejected them, so Fu Shinian was the only one left.

Don't ask her why she didn't consider Dong Weibing. The main reason is that that guy just likes to eat all day long and his personality is very stupid. He is not suitable for her, so she never thought about finding a partner like that.

Thinking of Fu Shinian, Tong Yiya felt a little fond of him, but it was far from being a love interest. This was mainly because she felt that Fu Shinian was usually cold and didn't like to talk to unfamiliar women, and he was not good-looking either.

Now she can only think about it first. She can't just go and say to others, "I think you're great, let's be a couple."

She thought she should observe and see if Fu Shinian had any feelings for her. If not, she would have to consider other people. If he did, she would find a way to get that person to bring it up first so that she could make her request then.

She didn't want to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen like most people of that era. She wanted to consider getting married after she turned twenty.

If he agrees, the two of them can get to know each other better in the remaining two years. If they get along well, it won't be too late to propose marriage.

In the future, she will tell her partner all this first, and if the other party agrees, then the two of them can talk about dating.

Finally she shook the thoughts out of her mind and went back to the task at hand.

In the next few days, just as Tong Yiya had imagined, every now and then, there would be aunts coming to her house under the pretext of visiting to ask her about her age and intentions towards marriage. If she had the slightest desire to get married, she believed those aunts would come more frequently.

She was already in a bad mood that day, and when Fu Shinian and the others saw that the snow had stopped, they went to the town to pick up a package and then bought some things.

The package his family sent her contained some White Rabbit candies. He remembered that Tong Yiya loved eating candies, so he thought of sending them to her.

When he entered the yard, he didn't see anyone there. He saw that the door of the pharmacy was open and there was a door curtain hanging on it. He guessed that Tong Yiya was there.

He walked over and lifted the door curtain, then saw Tong Yiya making ointment inside.

When Tong Yiya heard the door curtain being lifted and someone coming in, she thought it was the village auntie again, so she turned around with a stern face, but when she saw it was Fu Shinian, she didn't even have time to retract the expression on her face.

Seeing her stern face, Fu Shinian thought he had disturbed her, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Tong Zhiqing, did I disturb you?"

Tong Yiya quickly put away her expression and said, "No, no, Fu Zhiqing, come and sit down. I thought it was a village auntie who came in just now, not that kind of person."

I still feel a little embarrassed after saying this. This is my candidate for future partner. I can't let this relationship be strangled in the bud before I even know whether he has feelings for me or not.

After hearing what she said, Fu Shinian was relieved. He lowered the door curtain and walked to the stool opposite her and sat down. He put the candy in his hand on the table beside him and asked, "What's wrong with this village aunt that makes Tong Zhiqing so annoyed?"

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with these aunties. Now they come to my house from time to time and always want to introduce me to a date. I clearly refused them," Tong Yiya said unhappily.

When Fu Shinian heard that she was angry about this matter, he thought that she didn't want to date, and his heart tightened. He looked at Tong Yiya and asked, "Tong Zhiqing, do you not want to date, or do you not like any of the ones they introduced to you?"
