Lian Tong didn't talk much, but Lian Qingzhi, Lian Qingling, and Lian Qingxuan called her "auntie" very naturally, with a hint of flattery in their words. Even though Lian Tong was in her thirties and still unmarried, nobody dared to say a word about it. After the birthday celebration, Lian Qingyang could not sit still for even a day, always thinking about going to Jing City, longing for Uncle Tang's cooking and comparing it to the meals at home. The food at home was made by a master chef, exquisite and delicious, but with the Old Sir Lian seated at the head of the table, everyone ate their meals in a strictly formal manner, not daring to utter a single word. Official source is novelFɪre.net In the spacious dining room, despite the exquisite food, it lacked the warmth of a family. In his midnight dreams, Lian Qingyang often thought of the time in Wangjiang County, in Tang Yue's home. The dining room wasn't big, and everyone squeezed together at a square table with only four or five dishes, which wasn't much, but everyone was talking and laughing, making him often envious. Lian Qingyang took advantage of the moment when Lian Tong was about to go out to speak to Old Sir Lian: "Grandpa, I will go out with my aunt." "Auntie, can we go too?" Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling looked at Lian Tong with eager faces, "We haven't started school yet, auntie, why don't you take us with you?" "We're going to fight, you want to come too?" Lian Tong's lips curled into a smile. Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling exchanged glances and quickly shook their heads in unison: "No, auntie, we don't want to fight. We thought you were going to Jing City. Next semester we are going to study in Jing City, so I thought we could take a look in advance." Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling took turns speaking. This time, they both were admitted to universities in Jing City. Although not Jinghua University, it was the nearby Qingyuan University. Originally, sisters Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling were supposed to go to Shanghai City University, but Lian Ping insisted they attend university in Jing City, ostensibly to get exposure to the capital of Hua Xia and see more of the world. But the family understood Lian Ping's real intention was the hope that if they could get along well with Lian Qingyang at Jinghua University, it would be beneficial for the future. "Auntie, we're off to fight," Lian Qingyang said with a smile, and he and Lian Tong headed out. Once they left the Lian Family house, Lian Qingyang wished he could fly straight to Jing City. Lian Tong gave him a look: "What, got a girlfriend in Jing City?" "Of course not," Lian Qingyang denied, "Sister Xiao Yue's stepfather is in Jing City now, you don't know how delicious the dishes Uncle Tang makes are." She guessed that Lian Qingyang might want to go to Jing City to find a girlfriend, or perhaps to see Tang Yue. Who knew he wanted to see Tang Yue's stepfather? To eat the dishes made by Tang Yue's stepfather? "Auntie, don't doubt it, it's really good. Most importantly, when they eat together at their home, it feels like a family," Lian Qingyang didn't know how to describe it better, happily saying, "Auntie, why don't you come with me to Jing City?" "Sure," Lian Tong just agreed, but before they even got to the airport, someone approached Lian Tong with news about Gu Chun. Lian Tong immediately changed her plans. "Auntie, bring back Uncle Gu soon," Lian Qingyang playfully said, their relationship as aunt and nephew was even better than that of some mothers and sons. Lian Tong glared at him: "Lian Qingyang, what nonsense are you talking?" "Auntie, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but after so many years, you haven't managed to deal with uncle, that's too..." wimped out. The rest of the words were left unfinished, as Lian Tong's hand had already backhandedly grabbed Lian Qingyang, causing him to cry out in pain, "It hurts, it hurts!" "Remember to bring the things I have for Xiao Yue." Lian Tong let go of him with a flick of her hand, and a bag slammed onto Lian Qingyang's body. In an instant, Lian Tong's figure disappeared from sight. Lian Qingyang rubbed his sore hand and muttered, "Auntie is really... she hits too hard. Is she really my auntie?" "The future uncle should take control of auntie sooner rather than later, so she doesn't continue to be like a female demon." Lian Qingyang watched her receding figure. In his memory, the future uncle was really good to auntie, but why did the two of them have to separate? Lian Qingyang couldn't figure it out, and eventually, his excitement about going to Jing City overwhelmed him. Once on the plane, Lian Qingyang started thinking about what dishes he wanted to eat. Tang Yue and Zhang Hualian spent these past few days in the market. Even though they were not planning to have a wedding banquet for the time being, Zhang Hualian didn't skimp on anything that was needed. Like the wedding quilt, for instance. Although the groom's side would prepare one, like Mo Xiaolin, who had already prepared a set with a big red mandarin ducks playing in the water design, Zhang Hualian also prepared two wedding quilts for Tang Yue. Everything home-related from pots and pans to utensils, Zhang Hualian purchased without reservation. The wedding room in Jianan Prefecture was gradually getting a homey feeling. Originally, the plan was to furnish the wedding room on the day they got their marriage certificate, but considering the limited time, they started placing things in the new house after buying them, and the new house gradually began to feel like a home. Tang Yue watched the new house change little by little every day, and her heart felt inexplicably soft. Zhang Hualian was very satisfied. When choosing things, she wasn't stingy at all and picked out good quality items, even if they were a bit pricier. One day, Mo Xiaolin took Tang Yue to buy wedding candies. Although Mo Xiaolin had already made a decision, she still respected Tang Yue's opinion, letting her choose her favorite wedding candies and wedding candy boxes. A few years back, they would probably have used plastic bags printed with red double happiness symbols or dragon and phoenix designs to hold the wedding candies. But now, there were some beautiful boxes to choose from, which looked really nice. The candies inside, with the big red color of celebration, the word `xi` (happiness), and an image of a married couple adorned them, radiating festivity. "Xiao Yue, what do you think of this box?" Mo Xiaolin immediately took a liking to this candy box. It was very festive, though slightly more expensive, but it was her son's only wedding, after all. Not to mention that Mo Xiaolin had saved quite a bit of money, and Meng Jin had also given all his fortune to Mo Xiaolin. Now that she had money, Mo Xiaolin certainly wouldn't skimp. Tang Yue nodded her approval. Mo Xiaolin had great taste, and among the many wedding boxes, Tang Yue's favorite was also the one Mo Xiaolin was holding. As for the types of wedding candies, there was the White Rabbit Creamy Candy, nougat, milk candy, pastry candy, fruit candy – she practically wanted to select every kind of candy. They planned on putting ten pieces of candy in each box, symbolizing perfection and good fortune. In Wangjiang County, having eight pieces of wedding candy was already considered quite good, and the variety wasn't as abundant as in Jing City. "Mom, milk candy and White Rabbit Creamy Candy are both milk-based, let's switch one of them out, what do you say?" Tang Yue suggested, noting that the other candies had distinct flavors. "What should we replace it with?" asked Mo Xiaolin. "Chocolate." Tang Yue explained, "It's the chocolate that came with the perfume I brought for you last time. Those chocolates have wrapping paper, and they taste good too, right?"
