Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 531: Childhood Friend

According to Tian Lili, this person is Song Xiaowei’s good friend, and also the bridge of love between her and Song Xiaowei, a great matchmaker comrade, and also Tian Lili’s colleague, the music teacher at her school.

"Male or female?" Sisi asked.

Tian Lili gave her a disdainful look and replied irritably: "Of course it’s a male!"

A male, huh!

Sisi felt relieved, fearing that there may be some childhood sweetheart of Song Xiaowei!

Sisi asked for the childhood friend’s name, Tong Bing? She didn’t recognize it; probably came into the picture after she left, right?

"Why does that childhood friend always follow you guys? It’s so awkward to have a childhood friend tagging along on your dates!"

Sisi’s comments made Tian Lili’s face turn sour, of course, it was awkward, but Xiao Wei said, Tong Bing has only him as a friend, and he has no family left either, so as friends they should take more care of Tong Bing.

With a feeling of unease in her heart, Tian Lili glared fiercely at Sisi, snorted, and turned to leave.

Sisi touched her nose, smiled, and shook her head; she really did put in a thankless effort. If she wasn’t worried that Tian Lili might be deceived and that Gran and Granny would be sad, she wouldn’t have bothered at all!

However, looking at it now, it seems that Song Xiaowei really doesn’t have any issues, Tian Lili really did walk into some good fortune!

Afterwards, Song Xiaowei also came to the Tian Family to have meals several times, each time he would bring gifts, and he would play chess and chat with Old Man, being very personable; Old Man was very satisfied with him.

However, Sisi always felt that there was a kind of discordance between Song Xiaowei and Tian Lili, she couldn’t articulate it, it was just a feeling.

It felt like Song Xiaowei and Tian Lili weren’t like a couple, but more like just ordinary friends.

Generally speaking, there should definitely be a kind of magnetic field between couples, and with a single glance or a small gesture, one can feel the strong love between the young couple.

But between these two, Sisi could only sense the thick love from Tian Lili alone.

Could it be that Song Xiaowei doesn’t like Tian Lili?

But if he doesn’t like her, why would he take the initiative to pursue Tian Lili? And be so proactive about marriage?

If he does like her, why would Song Xiaowei be so indifferent?

He doesn’t seem to show any love for Tian Lili in his eyes at all!

It’s as if being with Tian Lili is just an act for him!

Right, just acting!

Sisi finally realized what was wrong, this Song Xiaowei from beginning to end seemed like he was just acting, very perfect, but also very fake!

"Granny, don’t you think there’s something not quite right between Xiao Wei and Sister Lili?" Sisi asked Granny Zhao while Tian Lili was not at home.

"What’s not quite right?" Granny Zhao asked warily.

"It’s just that I always feel that Xiao Wei is a bit cold towards Sister Lili, not as enthusiastic as Sister Lili," Sisi carefully weighed her words.

Granny Zhao disagreed, "You think everyone is like your Sister Lili, who can’t wait to stick herself onto someone, without any sense of propriety, all spoiled by Xu Qianwen. I knew it back then I shouldn’t have gone soft, and should’ve directly taken Lili to raise."

As she spoke, Granny Zhao started to rant against Xu Qianwen, Sisi shook her head, well, it’s impossible to reason with Granny Zhao, surely in her heart, someone like Song Xiaowei is considered normal!

"The child is definitely well-behaved!"

Granny Zhao would surely say that.

Sisi couldn’t be bothered with Tian Lili’s affairs anymore; since everyone else thought there were no problems, it was just her who kept fretting, annoyingly and unnecessarily.

What’s more important was having to deal with Tian Lili’s disdainful looks!

Wasn’t this just Sisi acting foolishly out of sheer boredom?

Sisi was extremely annoyed with herself for the insomnia she suffered because of Tian Lili and Song Xiaowei a while ago!

One day, Sisi took Du Du for a visit to Zhuge Yun’s house, as it was the weekend, and Liu Qiqi and her husband were both home.

Liu Qiqi’s parents were also there; they had brought their grandson to stay for a vacation. Liu Qiqi and Zhuge Yun’s son, Duoduo, was already four years old and had always been looked after by Liu Qiqi’s mother in Shanghai.

Duoduo looked very much like his father, but his serious demeanor, especially while reciting ancient poetry—shaking his head vigorously—resembled his grandfather so much. This made Sisi laugh so hard her stomach hurt.

"Duoduo, recite another poem for your brother, and auntie will give you this chocolate bar as a reward!" Sisi dangled a chocolate bar to tease Duoduo.

Duoduo’s eyes lit up, and seeing that his grandmother and mother didn’t object, he cleared his throat, closed his eyes, and started to recite, shaking his head from side to side.

"The sun sets behind the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea..."

The little guy’s face was soft and tender, just like a little bun, only his eyes were slightly squinted, with his hands behind his back, his little head wobbling around; he only lacked a ponytail swaying at the back. Sisi glanced at Duoduo, then looked at Mr. Liu beside her, who was smiling warmly, and finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing again.

"Hahaha!"

Oh, Sisi clutched her stomach, adoringly planting two big kisses on little Duoduo’s face, who turned shy, his face blushing profusely, looking too bashful to speak.

Sisi couldn’t resist laughing again, handed the chocolate to Duoduo, whose eyes sparkled as he took it and thanked her. The little fellow even demonstrated a generous spirit, sharing half of the chocolate with Du Du, and the two children nibbled happily, mouth to mouth.

Zhuge Yun’s grandparents were not in the Capital City; they were reluctant to leave their native home. However, after drinking the Qiong Wine that Sisi had given them, their health improved significantly, and Zhuge Yun also hired personal carers for them. Tian Manjin and Zhong Shaobai also took time to visit, so the elders were not much of a concern.

Lunch was prepared by Zhuge Yun, and Sisi hadn’t expected such a refined person like Zhuge Yun to cook so well!

"Sister Qiqi, tsk tsk, you really are living a sweet life! My Brother Xinhua won’t even cook for me!" Sisi teased Liu Qiqi.

Liu Qiqi rolled her eyes at her, "Come on, who was it that made Tian Xinhua get up in the middle of the night to buy dumplings for someone?"

Sisi chuckled awkwardly, remembering when she was five months pregnant and suddenly woke up hungry in the night, craving dumplings with celery and pork filling desperately.

So Tian Xinhua had to get up and search for dumplings, circling the county three times before finally finding celery and pork dumplings at a restaurant. After bringing them home, Sisi ate thirty dumplings on the spot, followed by a bowl of original broth, and then she fell asleep satisfied, burping contentedly. Meanwhile, Tian Xinhua, who had long lost any inclination to sleep, stayed awake listening to his wife’s light snores until dawn.

Mrs. Liu said smilingly from the side, "You girls are blessed, marrying such good husbands."

Liu Qiqi mumbled in response, "Yet at that time, you all didn’t agree to my marriage, did you? If it wasn’t for my determination, who knows what kind of life I’d be living now!"

Liu Qiqi was still quite resentful about the time her parents and grandmother strongly opposed her marriage to Zhuge Yun, and she would bring it up from time to time.

Frightened, Mrs. Liu quickly glanced into the kitchen, relieved to see her son-in-law busy cooking, and chided, "You silly girl, you were right after all, weren’t you!"

The Liu family was extremely pleased with their son-in-law, Zhuge Yun.

He was good-looking, had a great job, treated their daughter well, and was also filial to the elders. You couldn’t find such a good son-in-law even with a lantern!

Now, in the neighborhood, who doesn’t praise that the Liu family is fortunate, having raised a good daughter and marrying an ambassador? They truly bask in glory!
