Song Chengguang, as the eldest son of the Song Family, passed the age of 29 still single, and approaching the age of thirty and still unmarried, he started to face a very headache-inducing issue—he was being constantly nagged by his mother, Xu Xiuxiu, to get married. As the primary target of marriage pressure, he hardly dared to go ho, taking on assignnts that kept him away for weeks or a month at a ti.
If it were only about avoiding, Song Chengguang could just hide from his mother now and then. However, the real trouble was that his beloved younger sister had married early, having been wooed into marriage by that scoundrel Zhao Nan a few years earlier. Plus, that guy was cunning as ever; whenever faced with provocations, he could counter them effortlessly, often leaving him feeling frustrated. And in dealing with the father of a daughter and the uncle-focused Song n, his thods varied, but they all worked, seizing the lifeblood of the three n by exploiting their weaknesses.
The three n of the Song Family could only sulk helplessly, really angry, yet forced to smile because, just as Little Baby Song Chenxi graduated from college, that scoundrel Zhao Nan had cunningly tid it so she would beco pregnant. As the father of the child in his sister's belly, it was a done deal. Their dissatisfaction with him for stealing away their daughter and sister gradually subsided.
By now, Song Chenxi had already given birth to a darling little girl nad Little Jinzi, who was already three years old this year. With her adorably silly deanor that outdid Little Baby's in her early years, he, as her proud uncle, missed her dearly. Thus, despite facing his mother's nagging, he still made ti to visit his little niece, for it was only in seeing his little niece that his rigid heart could soften a bit.
"Great Uncle, this is the fluffy dress Grandma bought for , isn't it pretty?" Little Jinzi, wearing a cute fluffy dress and sporting a little princess's tiara, spun around in front of Song Chengguang as soon as she saw him, her little face full of smiles, clearly adoring her new dress, beaming happily.
"It's beautiful, Little Jinzi looks good in everything," Song Chengguang lifted the little girl into his arms, "Great Uncle will take you out, okay? Didn't you say last ti you wanted to go to the amusent park? How about today Great Uncle takes you?"
"No need, Great Uncle, Daddy already took there." Little Jinzi responded with a look that said you're too late, I've already been, shaking her head regretfully, the tiara atop her little head swaying slightly.
"..." Song Chengguang gritted his teeth internally, feeling particularly frustrated by being outmaneuvered by Zhao Nan.
"How about Great Uncle takes you shopping then? We can buy lots of pretty dresses," Song Chengguang suggested, determined if it'd deceive the little girl into going out and having fun with him; if she wanted the stars in the sky, he'd find a way to pluck them for her.
"That won't work!" Little Jinzi continued to shake her head cutely in refusal.
"Why don't you want to go out with Great Uncle?" Song Chengguang felt nearly driven mad by the little girl, his face unable to hide his disappointnt.
"Grandma said, Great Uncle, you're a hard-to-marry bachelor, um, she also said..." Little Jinzi honestly began, then racked her brain recalling the words her grandmother had muttered by her ear, "she said, since Great Uncle you like children, you should hurry up and find a woman to have them with, otherwise, a single dog who isn't wanted can't take good care of children. Little Jinzi really wants to go out with Uncle, but Little Jinzi thinks Grandma is right. Last ti when we went out, Uncle, you let catch a cold, it was so uncomfortable..." Despite being only three, Little Jinzi was highly intelligent, with a remarkable gift for language—fluent in Mandarin and spectacular in English.
Song Chengguang had braved the risk of his mother Xu Xiuxiu's nagging to visit his niece, but now he felt as if he had sustained ten thousand points of damage, inflicted unintentionally by his beloved niece.
"Uncle, can you promise not to let Little Jinzi catch a cold and feel bad this ti?" Song Chengguang still wouldn't give up!
"No, single dogs are not suitable for taking care of children." This ti, it was Xu Xiuxiu who spoke.
"Mm." Hearing what her beautiful grandmother said, Little Jinzi nodded in agreent.
"Mom!" Song Chengguang, looking frustrated, turned his head to look at the elegant lady leisurely sitting on the sofa not far away. Really, was it okay for a mother to bully her son like this?
"Your mom is right," said Yuanhuan, sitting aside, his attention fixed on the newspaper from start to finish without glancing at his eldest son. Seemingly catching his son's gaze, he looked up over his reading glasses, then nodded in agreent with his wife.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft." A triple burst, and Song Chengguang was utterly defeated.
"Chengguang, as the old saying goes, 'establish a family then build a career; be established by thirty.' You're almost thirty, and your younger siblings have already settled their significant matters. You're grown and still single, making mom worry so much. Don't you feel guilty? Be good, listen to Mom's advice, quickly find yourself a suitable partner and get married. Otherwise, don't even think about coming ho, okay? Because it stresses and upsets Mom to see you single like this..." Xu Xiuxiu continued to speak while her hands never stopped knitting a small sweater for little Chen Hao and his wife Liu Yuming's soon-to-be-born baby.
Sigh! The younger two have sorted out their life events, with children already, yet Song Chengguang doesn't even have a girlfriend. What a pit! It's truly too much of a pitfall. Had she known this child would beco such a major concern, she would have probably encouraged him to start dating early back in high school.
"..." Song Chengguang felt like his being unmarried was so kind of trendous cri.
Hearing what his mother Xu Xiuxiu said suggested that she wouldn't bother nagging him in the future. If he wanted to visit his mother and see his niece, the condition was that he had to find soone and get married first. Was that the ssage?
"Mom, feelings really can't be rushed." Song Chengguang, with a headache, spoke as he hugged his little niece and then walked over to the sofa, intending to work on his mother's mindset.
"Sigh! Big Uncle, just listen to Grandma! Otherwise, every ti you co ho, Little Jinzi feels so sorry for you being all alone," the little girl in Song Chengguang's arms said, paining to persuade him, and even emphasized the words "all alone."
"Why?" Hearing the little girl's consoling words, Song Chengguang, looking down at his niece, felt puzzled. How co this little girl had been thoroughly brainwashed by her grandmother in just a fortnight, even thinking he was pitiful? What was pitiful about him, really?
