Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Ding Yang left the wreath shop and went to the Agricultural Bank in town.

I queued up again and withdrew another 2 yuan in cash. Damn, this money just flows like water.

As he walked out of the bank, a woman in her thirties suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Yang!"

Ding Yang cursed inwardly, thinking that he must have been out of his mind to run into his old mistress, Wang Zhaodi, the owner of the feed wholesale store, whom he had cheated on a few times when he was raising pigs at home.

"sister in law!"

"Xiaoyang, I heard you went out to work. When are you coming back?"

"I just got back yesterday."

"Great, you're getting more and more handsome."

"No, my sister-in-law is getting more and more beautiful."

The woman blushed slightly.

"Xiaoyang, come sit in my shop for a bit."

"Sister-in-law, I'm at the bank doing some business, and I have something else to do later."

Wang Zhaodi said, "Come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

The two arrived at the steps outside the bank.

"Xiao Yang, you've forgotten about me now that you're making money out there, haven't you?"

"Sister-in-law, what kind of fortune are you talking about? You're just a wage earner. What are you saying?"

"Hmph, all dressed up and all that, you're just going to turn your back on me, huh?"

No way.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"I transferred money; I bought a truckload of corn and sent the money to them."

Suddenly she said softly, "My husband went to the city today and won't be back until very late. Why don't you come to my shop for a bit?"

"Sister-in-law, let's not go. You still have employees at your shop. It would be terrible if they found out something. Let's just forget about it."

"Hmph, you heartless bastard! Who fed you that feed? Now that you've become successful, you've forgotten everything? I even had an abortion for you."

"Nonsense!"

"Why would I lie to you? Last time I got pregnant, I wasn't sure if it was yours or my husband's, and I was too scared to give birth. So I had to have an abortion, and my husband even argued with me about it."

"That doesn't prove it's mine, does it?"

"Hmph, 90% is yours."

"Stop talking nonsense, okay? I don't care if I'm single, but do you know what the consequences will be if your husband finds out?"

"Go away, don't give me that."

"Sister-in-law, some things are better left unsaid. Let's keep them in mind and save face for everyone."

"go!"

"Sister-in-law, you go ahead with your work. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

"snort!"

Wang Zhaodi ignored him and turned away.

Ding Yang was speechless and could only walk away quickly.

Oh shit.

Ding Yang dared not stay in town any longer, so he returned to his car, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

When I drove home, my grandparents were feeding the pigs.

"Grandpa, let me do it!"

"No need, it's already been fed."

"Grandpa, I'm going to the back mountain to see my dad and burn some paper money for him."

Go!

Ding Yang carried a stack of paper money to his father's grave on the back hill.

Light three Furongwang cigarettes and stick them on the grave mound, then tear up the paper money and light it.

Ding Yang sat in front of the grave, not saying a word, burning paper money one sheet at a time.

I sat in front of the grave for almost an hour before returning.

In the afternoon, after eating, Ding Yang started feeding the pigs and cleaning the pigpen again.

In the afternoon, Liu Cuicui and her mother also arrived.

"aunt!"

"Xiaoyang, you came and left yesterday without even eating at your aunt's."

"Auntie, it's the same if I eat with Grandpa and Grandma."

"Xiaoyang, Xiaocui said she quit her job and is going to work for your company, is that right?"

Liu Cuicui winked at him.

"Yes, I drive for the boss. He takes good care of me. Our company is quite big, so the prospects for development are better. Sister Cui Cui, come with me, and your salary will double."

"Xiaoyang, your aunt doesn't want Xiaocui to go to Guangdong to work anymore."

"What's wrong?"

"She's almost 27 and still hasn't found a boyfriend. I want to keep her at home for blind dates."

"Auntie, why the rush to find a boyfriend? Besides, it's not a good time for blind dates. There aren't many young men in the family. Let's wait until the New Year."

"I'll be a year older next year after the New Year, and that's driving me crazy."

"Auntie, Sister Cui'er is so beautiful, why the rush? Plenty of men will pursue her, and she'll find a millionaire."

"My aunt doesn't care about being a millionaire. As long as someone is upright and has good values, that's enough for her."

"Don't worry, maybe I'll be able to bring a boyfriend home for Chinese New Year this year."

"Xiaoyang, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, I'm busy working at the factory, I don't have time for dating. How about my aunt introduces me to someone?"

"Several new female teachers at our school are single and have just graduated from university, but they are looking for someone with a stable job, so they might not be interested in you."

"Auntie, if you don't like me, just don't say it. Why are you making me feel bad? She doesn't like me, but I don't like her either."

"You silly child!"

Liu Cuicui held Ding Yang's hand,

"Xiaoyang, let's go for a walk outside."

"oh!"

Arriving outside the threshing floor,

"Xiaoyang, when are we going back to Guangdong? My mom nags me every day, I can't stand it."

"Sis, it's a blessing to have parents around to nag you. I've been wanting to nag them for a while now."

"So, are we still going or not?"

"What's the rush? School hasn't started yet. I'm going to study this time, so there's no rush. I've come all this way, so of course I want to spend a few more days with my grandparents."

"Grandpa contacted the pig dealer today and will sell the pig in a couple of days. I need to sell the pig before I leave."

"How long will that take?"

"About a week."

"Big brother, can't you hurry up? I don't want to stay at home anymore, my mom nags me every day."

"Then you can stay here and help me clean the pigsty."

"I'm not going, it stinks."

"Sis, if Auntie nags you, just say you have a boyfriend and you'll bring him to meet her next time."

"Damn, isn't that even more troublesome? She asked me to bring it to her to see."

"When you come back after the New Year, just tell me you broke up. Isn't that simple? Maybe you'll find a boyfriend after you start working."

"It's not that easy. I don't look down on most men."

……

Aunt and Liu Cuicui stayed at home for dinner.

After dinner, Ding Yang drove the mother and daughter home.

Upon arriving at the school, the mother and daughter got out of the car, at which point the uncle came out.

Ding Yang quickly got out of the car and handed his uncle a Furongwang cigarette.

"Xiao Yang, you've really made something of yourself! You're driving a Mercedes now?"

"Hey, just a delivery guy."

Just then, two young female teachers walked over.

"Ding Yang!"

Ding Yang turned his head and saw a girl in her early twenties, wearing a dress, with a long braid, dressed in a somewhat unfashionable way.

Do you know me?

"Ding Yang, you really have a bad memory. I'm Wen Qi from Class 62."

"Holy crap, old classmate? What are you doing here?"

"I attend classes at this school? I graduated from the Municipal Teachers' College last year and was assigned here."

"Oh! No wonder! I never imagined that the little girl with the runny nose back then would become a teacher now."

Auntie asked, "Xiaowen, are you and Ding Yang classmates?"

"Yes, we were classmates in junior high school. He sat in the row behind me."

"What a coincidence! I think you two should just start dating."

Ding Yang thought to himself, "So skinny, no chest, no butt, I'm not interested."

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense."

"Old classmate, it's getting late, I have to go now. Let's chat again another time."

"oh!"

"Uncle, I'm leaving now."

Drive slowly and be careful.

Ding Yang drove away.

Wenqi asked, "Teacher Ding, so you're Ding Yang's aunt?"

"Yes!"
