Chapter 260: Marriage 1
As soon as Tong Yao returned to her room, Si Xiaohui rushed in, pouting and acting cutesy, "Sister-in-law, you bought pants for my second brother, why didn’t you get me a pair? I don’t know what pants to wear with this top."
In fact, Si Xiaohui had her eyes on the pair of pants Tong Yao was wearing. The corduroy Xiaohei pants on Tong Yao looked very nice and warm. She wished she had a pair too.
Tong Yao, not really focusing on this, replied absent-mindedly, "I didn’t know what your waist size is, so I didn’t buy."
Si Xiaohui hurriedly responded, "My size is twenty-eight, sister-in-law, you can buy pants for me based on this size next time."
Tong Yao responded noncommittally with a nod, ’hmm’, after Si Xiaohui finished talking about the clothes matter, she didn’t rush to leave. Sitting on the bed with a regretful look on her face, she expressed, "If only our little uncle was home, our house would be even livelier."
Little uncle?
Si Xiaohui’s words caught Tong Yao’s attention, "Which little uncle? I’ve never heard you mention him before."
"Of course, the little uncle is my dad’s younger brother, our uncle!" Si Xiaohui sounded a little emotional when she talked about this matter. "After my father passed away, the little uncle left with a traveling circus that came here. It’s been many years now, he hasn’t come back yet. I don’t know where he is now, whether he is doing well or not. He used to spoil me so much."
If the little uncle was still around, their past years would not have been so tough.
Regrettably, the little uncle had never returned since he left, and it was uncertain whether he was still alive or not. Thinking about the little uncle’s potential demise in a foreign land always brought Si Xiaohui melancholy.
