"Xiao Lan, how old are you this year? Do you have a partner?"
"Me? I'm 18 and single!"
"She's 18 years old. In the city, she's still a kid. There's no need to rush."
Aunt Li also said at this time. "Yes, in our country, 18 years old is already old enough to get married, but in the city it is still young. I heard that her third sister is not married yet."
"Yes, my third sister has a partner, but she hasn't gotten married yet!" Song Tanglan's face immediately filled with smiles when she mentioned her third sister.
During this period, the Song family mentioned in their letters that life in the city has not been good recently, with various disturbances occurring frequently.
Many people living near their home have been reported and caught, and are now imprisoned. Their homes have been emptied, and they are being paraded around the streets all day long.
After suffering tremendous blows and mental damage, they were eventually sent to various difficult places.
Thinking of this, I feel a little heartbroken. All the neighbors near the Song family have jobs, and some of them were teachers before. Those teachers who were reported by their own students would be so sad if they knew the truth.
Fortunately, nothing happened at home, and with the help of their future brother-in-law, no one dared to target them.
However, the house was still reported and searched. Fortunately, there were no contraband items in the house. No one knew how Song's father transferred most of the family's money.
In addition, when they went to the countryside and married their second sister, their family gave them several thousand yuan. There were only two of the four major items in the house, a bicycle and a sewing machine. However, there were two bicycles in the house, which were the dowries of Su He and Qiao Yue respectively. No one could find any fault with this.
You can't make such a fuss that you can't even get a dowry!
Knowing that their family members were fine, the two sisters felt relieved.
Song's father was able to become the head of the machinery factory because he had touched upon the interests of many people and offended many people. There were too many people who wanted to frame his family.
"So you're the only one in your family who doesn't have a partner now?"
"No, I have a younger brother who is still studying!"
"Is that so?" Xu Yanshu suddenly understood what was going on when she heard this. She met Aunt Li's eyes and stopped asking questions.
After lunch, Song Tanglan walked in front, and the two aunts walked slowly behind.
"Sister Xu, are you trying to match Xiao Lan with your Xiao Qi?"
When Xu Yanshu heard Aunt Li's question, she replied calmly, "Yes, the young educated youth is so good. If she can't be my daughter, I can bring her back to be my daughter-in-law! Besides, my brat is already in his twenties and still hasn't found a partner. As a mother, how can I not be anxious!"
"Why are you worrying so much? Xiaoqi has a job and a city hukou, so it's not easy for her to find a partner. You know a little bit about Xiaolan's family situation. She's the most favored child in the family, and she's also very opinionated. If she doesn't like it, no matter how much you try to match her up, it's useless."
After thinking for a while, he said again.
"It's better to let things develop as they go. Xiaoqi and Xiaolan have a good relationship. Maybe they'll develop feelings for each other as they get along. If you try to bring them together like this, they'll feel pressured."
"I know that Comrade Xiao's family situation is not bad. Isn't my family okay too? But Sister Li, do you think Xiaoqi and the young educated youth have a good relationship?"
"Yes, don't you know? Xiaoqi brings something for Xiaolan every time he comes to the team." Aunt Li was also a little confused at this time. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and saw Aunt Xu's expression, she would have thought she was imagining it!
When Xu Yanshu heard this, she immediately smiled in her heart.
Okay, this brat always said he was going to deliver something to his elder sister, but unexpectedly, he was actually going to deliver something to the young educated youth.
She said that she had never seen him visit his elder sister so frequently before, but why did he go so often recently? It turned out that he was hiding something.
"Sister Li, do you think there's a chance for them? Free love is popular nowadays, and parents' words have become feudal and pedantic. Every time I ask him to go see a date, that brat always shuts me up with this."
Aunt Li thought about her findings and said, "I'm not sure about that. I didn't find anything wrong with them. But your Xiaoqi is so promising. Maybe one day she will become successful!"
"Then I'll take advantage of Sister Li's good wishes." Aunt Xu smiled when she heard this. She has been worrying about her son's marriage in the past few years.
But her son always found various reasons to block her way out, and his work required him to go out from time to time, which made her even more anxious about his marriage.
As a mother, how could she not know what he was thinking? He just wanted to develop quickly so that he could go back and take revenge on that Qian guy, but she didn't want her child to be blinded by hatred.
Her husband, Mr. Xu, also didn't want to see Xu Qi like this, and couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
…
Song Tanglan didn't know at this time that the two aunts behind her were discussing her and wanted to match her up with Xu Qi.
Now she only wanted to get back to the ward as soon as possible to see her newborn nephew and second sister, and then she would pack up and return to the team.
Unfortunately, when she returned to the ward, her second sister had already fallen asleep. Song Tanglan took a look at the little girl, said something to her second brother-in-law, and then returned to the team with Aunt Li.
When they returned to the brigade, it was just time to get off work. Several aunts who were familiar with Aunt Li surrounded her and asked about the situation. When they learned that she had a new grandson in the family, everyone was very happy to congratulate her.
Su Tao came to Song Tanglan at this time and asked curiously: "Lanlan, Second Sister Song gave birth to a son. Is the boy good-looking?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course I want to hear the truth. Tell me quickly."
Seeing her so anxious, Song Tanglan told her the truth: "My second sister and I both think it's a little ugly, but my aunt said it hasn't fully grown yet, but it will grow in a while, and then it will definitely be a beautiful little baby."
"Ha, is it as exaggerated as you say? Your second sister and your second brother-in-law are not bad looking, how could they give birth to an ugly child?"
Su Tao still looked at Song Tanglan with suspicion, she felt that she was lying.
Seeing her disbelief, Song Tanglan waved his hands helplessly: "I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe it yourself."
Su Tao looked at Song Tanglan walking away and began to feel conflicted. She was a little doubtful, not knowing whether Song Tanglan was telling the truth or a lie.
Just two days later, Su Tao went to see the baby who had just returned after work and found that the baby was very cute and not as ugly as Song Tanglan said. She couldn't help but complain.
"Lanlan, you are so mean. You actually lied to me. How is the little cub ugly?"
Song Tanglan looked at the baby in her second sister's arms with a strange look on her face. She remembered that when he was born two days ago, his face was red here and there, and he was so thin and small, like a monkey.
Now the red spots on her face have faded, revealing her baby-white skin. She opened her eyes curiously and looked around, as if she was getting familiar with her future home.
