Song Yao was not angry. She rubbed Baby Xuan’s little face and said, “Baby Xuan, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Song Yao carried Song Xuan to a new market in the county and bought two sugar cakes.
Children were all greedy, and Baby Xuan was no exception.
Song Yao had just taken the sugar cake to coax him when he took it and giggled.
Gu Li smiled and said, “Looks like you’re hungry.”
Song Yao broke off a piece of sugar cake and fed it to him carefully. Baby Xuan ate it with relish.
“Sweet… sweet…’

Baby Xuan kept nodding.
Song Yun broke off a few more pieces of sugar cake for Baby Xuan to eat. Worried that Baby Xuan would choke, Song Yao went to the shop to buy a small bottle of milk.
As expected, Baby Xuan stopped crying and making a fuss after eating the sugar cake. He even clapped his hands and giggled. Even Gu Li smiled in relief. “You really spoil her.”
Song Yao smiled. “No way. When I was young, didn’t you spoil me too? At that time, my aunt couldn’t stand me the most and always said that I was making trouble for you.”
At the mention of the past, Gu Li sighed. “Who does your aunt like? She’s arrogant just because she married someone from the city. On the day your uncle died of illness, listen to what she said.”
Song Yao said, “It’s best to cut ties with her as soon as possible! She knows better than anyone why Uncle fell sick back then! In order to help her work at her factory back then, Uncle inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas and got cancer in a few days. This is all her fault!”
After hearing this, Gu Li wiped her tears angrily. “After that, she only lost a few hundred thousand yuan… It’s just that your auntie suffered. Your uncle passed away early and didn’t even leave a child behind. If not for Wei accompanying her, how do you think she would have lived?”
Thinking of her aunt, Song Feng, Song Yao frowned.
Ever since she opened the convenience store, she had never gone to her aunt’s place once.
She said, “Mom, I’ll visit Aunt later. Isn’t Wei on winter break? I’ll bring the two of them over for the new year! ”
“That’s for the best!” Gu Li echoed. “It’s been a long time since our family has been so lively! Bring your aunt over for the new year this year. Her second son should be back soon.”
Gu Li was planning for the new year. She had already bought eight catties of pork and four catties of beef and was waiting for the new year to be lively.
She reckoned that many relatives would come over. Song Yao even specially bought a lot of nut stir-fried goods and sweets.
On the way back, they passed by a tailor shop. Gu Li insisted on making a new set of clothes for Song
Yao.
When the fat lady who was tailoring the clothes saw Gu Li, she hurriedly congratulated her. “Your Yao is really lucky? I’ve seen this young man before. He’s really compatible with your daughter!”
Gu Li smiled from ear to ear. “That’s why I chose the red cloth and planned to come over to make two new clothes.”
She handed the red cloth over and the fat lady said, “Oh dear, such flower jackets are not popular anymore. People in the city wear dresses and cheongsams when they get engaged!”
“Cheongsam? Yao, how about a cheongsam?” Gu Li asked.

Gu Li frowned. “What do you know?! It’s precisely because those relatives are coming that I should let them take a look!”
Knowing that Gu Li was angry with her aunt, Song Yao pursed her lips and did not say anything else.
The fat lady took a ruler and measured Song Yao’s figure. She picked out the buttons and style before returning home.
With the end of the year approaching, the business of the small restaurant also became much colder.
Song Yao thought about it and decided to give the employees of the small restaurant a break and give them year-end bonuses.
For a chief chef like Aunt Liu, who earned more than 100 yuan a month, Song Yao gave her a year-end bonus of 500 yuan at once.
The moment she received the money, Aunt Liu was overjoyed. She grabbed Song Yao’s hand and smiled. “You’re really kind! Aunt Liu will still work for you next year!”
Song Yao smiled. “You’re a chef who won a big award overseas. I should thank you for not despising you for living in a small place like ours.”
“What’s there to dislike?” Aunt Liu smiled. “No matter what, you’re my daughter-in-law from now on!”
After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she leaned forward and asked Song Yao with a smile, “By the way, how have you and my son been recently?”
Song Yao’s face turned red. “Aunt Liu, Zuo Huo and I are planning to get engaged after the new year. You must come then.’
Aunt Liu thought for a moment. “I’ll see how it goes. If his parents come over too, I won’t join in the fun..
