65 -64: The Family Bustles About
Upon hearing Old Lady Xu say that Xu Niannian was to be engaged, Liu Guimei and Xu Erhong exclaimed in surprise at the same time, “When did this happen?”
Old Lady Xu had been just as shocked when she first received the news, but now seeing how startled Xu Erhong and his wife were, she instantly felt full of disdain.
“Keep your voices down,” she snapped.
“You’re acting as if you’re a bunch of cowherds who have never seen a bird’s egg.
Our Niannian is already 17 by nominal age; it’s time she got engaged.”
In fact, Old Lady Xu also resented Yang Cuihua for not informing her sooner.
But Yang Cuihua had run off too quickly, all in order to inform Xu Sanya; she hadn’t had the chance to vent her frustrations.
Taking out her irritation on Xu Erhong and his wife made her feel much better.
Coming back to her senses, Liu Guimei said, “Niannian is indeed at the age to be engaged.”
Xu Erhong, on the other hand, was somewhat reluctant, “Our Niannian is only 17, what’s the rush?”
“What would you, a man, understand?” Old Lady Xu, hearing the ignorant words from Xu Erhong, felt like hitting him in the face with a club.
Xu Sisi simply rolled her eyes helplessly.
Had they forgotten she was there?

Finding herself completely disregarded, Xu Sisi decided to just go back to her room to sleep.
When Yang Cuihua reached the town, Xu Sanya, without a word, packed her belongings and followed Yang Cuihua back to Qingshan Village.
All the way, she fretted over whether her precious niece would meet someone worthy.
Old Lady Xu, in her youth, had been infatuated with beauty; it was said that her late husband had been ardently pursued until he was caught by her.
Old Master Xu was handsome, and he had deeply loved Old Lady Xu.
When he died, she had been disconsolate until Xu Niannian was born.
Because of the striking resemblance, Old Lady Xu treasured Xu Niannian like a precious gem, and the influence on Xu Niannian’s siblings was such that they doted on her excessively.
Xu Niannian felt her skin crawl as she noticed her Young Aunt staring at her intently.
Why was she gazing at her like that?
Could it be she’d discovered she wasn’t really Xu Niannian?
In her memory, the Young Aunt had always been extremely kind to Xu Niannian.
As Xu Niannian felt increasingly tense, Xu Sanya suddenly turned to Yang Cuihua and asked, “Sister-in-law, why does Niannian look even prettier than before?”
Yang Cuihua loved hearing others praise her daughter’s looks.
Hearing her niece’s comment, she smiled until her eyes were but slits, “She’s my daughter; how could she not be pretty?”
Xu Sanya rolled her eyes wordlessly, “What does that have to do with you?
It’s because Niannian has a good grandfather.”
Then she kept patting Xu Niannian on the head, “Our Niannian is just so pretty.”
Yang Cuihua was keen to show off her daughter’s culinary skills in front of others, to let them see how prized her daughter was.
Usually, whenever Xu Niannian made something, her mother would nag about it, but now she actually let Xu Niannian make Liuyue Su for Xu Sanya.
Since Jin Yu’s family would be visiting the next day to finalize the engagement and a lot of people were expected, Xu Niannian decided to make a large quantity of Liuyue Su.
When Xu Sanya tried the Liuyue Su prepared by Xu Niannian, she couldn’t close her mouth, exclaiming how delicious they were and that she had never tasted anything so good before.
After eating her fill, Xu Sanya went on and on praising Xu Niannian.
The next day, even before Xu Niannian had gotten out of bed, she was woken up by the noise outside, and even Xu Duoyu was stirred awake by it.
The little one rubbed his eyes, his voice soft and sticky, “Sis, what’s happening outside?”
“Nothing, you just go back to sleep.”
After coaxing Xu Duoyu back to sleep, Xu Niannian got dressed and went outside.
By that time, Old Lady Xu and Xu Erhong and his wife had already arrived, and even Xu Sisi and Xu Doudou were there.
Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Zhicheng were also present.
The whole family was busily tidying up the house.
Xu Niannian widened her eyes in bewilderment—such a big fuss?
