After Luo Qiao had her meal, Uncle Sun came over to tell her that she had a phone call, and Stone insisted on following her, thinking it was a call from Lu Yichen.
By the time she got to the place and had a brief chat with Auntie Sun, the phone rang again, “Hello, this is Luo Qiao.”
“Qiaoqiao, it’s Little Uncle Yuan.”
“Little Uncle, how did you know I was back?”
“I was just trying to see if you had e back yet.”
“Little Uncle, do you need something from me?”
“Qiaoqiao, e to the pound tomorrow. I am bringing your little auntie back, and you can e and meet her too, so you don’t recognize the wrong person later on.”
Hearing this, Luo Qiao laughed and said, “Why, does little auntie have a twin sister, and you’re worried we might get them mixed up later?”
Yuan Weicheng stopped talking, and Luo Qiao said, “Little Uncle, don’t tell me it’s true, that little auntie has a sister who looks just like her.”
Yuan Weicheng didn’t want to bring up that matter and embarrass Jin Jing later on, but he still said, “Your little auntie indeed has a sister who looks exactly like her.”
Luo Qiao suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Little Uncle, you’ll have to be careful then. Don’t get them mixed up, or my little auntie will make you kneel on a washboard as punishment.”
Yuan Weicheng said impatiently, “Look at you, taking pleasure in other’s misfortune. Alright, that’s it. e early tomorrow.”
“Sure, I’ll head over after I get prepared tomorrow. Oh, you don’t mind if I bring Stone along, do you?”
“Are your brothers on holiday yet? If they are free, bring them along. Everyone will be at home, so it’ll be good for them to meet each other.”
“Okay, my Big Brother and Second Brother are on holiday. I’ll check if my Third and Fourth Brothers are free too, and then we’ll all head over together.”
After hanging up the phone, Luo Qiao was pondering whether to call Lu Yichen when her phone rang. She looked at Uncle Sun, who gestured with his hand for her to answer the call.
Luo Qiao answered the phone and said, “Hello, who may I ask is calling?”
On the other end of the line, Lu Yichen paused, the voice sounding so much like Qiaoqiao’s. He tentatively asked, “Qiaoqiao, is that you?”
Luo Qiao immediately laughed, “Yes, it’s me, Brother Lu.”
Lu Yichen laughed and said, “It seems we are truly in sync.”
“You call so late, is something the matter?”
“Yes, your Little Uncle called me to say that I should visit the pound tomorrow. I was wondering if you’ll be going. Should I e to pick you up in the morning?”
“Yes, I’ll go. I just hung up with Little Uncle’s call. It’s got me thinking about all these plicated familial relationships—how are we supposed to address each other in the future?” She laughed before finishing her sentence.
“Just call each other the usual way. Your Little Uncle and I are of the same generation; he’s only a few years older than me. Don’t get too smug too soon; according to my seniority, he will eventually have to call you sister-in-law.”
“What a mess that all is. Alright, that’s enough. This is still a long way off, and there’s no need to discuss this now, wasting phone credit. If there’s nothing else, let’s hang up. I still want to call my Third and Fourth Brothers to see if they have time.”
Stone quickly scooted over to make his presence felt, and Luo Qiao then said, “Hold on, Stone wants to talk to you.”
“Brother, when are you ing to see me? I miss you.”
“I’ll e to pick you up early tomorrow and take you to visit someone else’s home.”
“Okay, then e over a bit earlier tomorrow.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow.”
Luo Qiao called her Fourth Brother at the machinery factory, “Hello, Fourth Brother, it’s me, Qiaoqiao.”
“Can you take time off or swap shifts tomorrow? We need to visit Grandpa Yuan’s place—Little Uncle Yuan is bringing his girlfriend home, and it’s the perfect chance for you guys to meet her.”
“Oh, I see. I’ll call now and see if I can switch shifts, and if not, I’ll take the day off.”
“Okay, then you sort it out first. I’ll call Third Brother to check if he’s free.”
“Where shall we meet up tomorrow?”
“We’ll pick you up at the machinery factory. Just wait outside the family pound at 8:30 AM; we won’t go inside.”
“Alright then, that’s settled.”
After hanging up, Luo Qiao felt that something was not quite right. Little Uncle Yuan was bringing his girlfriend home, but why notify so many people to go to the house? What was he planning to do? It was clearly an attempt to divert the Yuan family’s attention.
