Third Uncle Xiao wore a smile, but it was rather forced.
"Is my aunt at home?"
The "aunt" he referred to was Xiao Yuan's grandmother. In Erdaowan, it's customary for in-laws to address each other's elders as uncle and aunt.
This is regardless of age.
"Yes, she is." Mother Xiao quickly replied, "Why are you looking for my mother?"
Behind Third Uncle Xiao was an old man who looked over seventy, and he stepped forward tremblingly: "Ji Shufen, is your mother's name Ji Shufen?"
Mother Xiao nodded, "Yes."
She called into the house, "Mom, someone is here to see you."
Anning assisted her grandmother in coming out.
Grandma was old, her eyesight was blurry, and she couldn't see clearly who was standing outside: "Who's here to see me?"
The old man stepped forward excitedly, with tears almost falling from his eyes as he saw Grandma: "Shufen, it's me, I'm Zhang Gen."
"Zhang Gen."
