Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s
Chapter 165 - 158 Birthday Celebration

Chapter 165: 158 Birthday Celebration

He Chengsi, caught off guard when he was pushed aside, started yelling angrily, wanting to snatch back what was his rightful turn at the bicycle handlebars. The two began squabbling up there, their tussles causing the bike to swerve dangerously, nearly sending it tumbling into the ditch beside the road.

He Xuewen and Tian Sisi watched the two guys bicker with cheerful smiles. After enjoying the show for a while, He Xuewen finally spoke up, "Xinhua, you should join us too. Chengsi can sit at the back and let your Brother Xin Hua take you."

The elder had spoken, and though He Chengsi reluctantly took the back seat, Tian Xinhua hummed in triumph and pedaled to catch up with He Xuewen and the others.

"Uncle He, where are you all heading for fun?"

"I’m going with Daddy to Sri Town to pay respects. It’s Grandpa Niu’s birthday, and he was once a very famous chef—today’s food is definitely going to be delicious!" Tian Sisi eagerly replied.

A birthday visit! Upon hearing that, Tian Xinhua glared fiercely at He Chengsi—this fool couldn’t speak clearly. Uncle He had serious business to attend to, and his tagging along like this was just inappropriate. Tian Xinhua immediately stopped the bike, thinking to say he wouldn’t go.

"No need to worry, Xinhua. Just come along. With so many people going to wish him a happy birthday, Mr. Xing would be too happy to care!"

He Xuewen saw through the young man’s concerns and quickly interjected before Tian Xinhua could object. Seeing the situation, Tian Xinhua stopped insisting and quickly went home to change into his going-out clothes, told Li Yuedi, and then rode off after He Xuewen and the others.

The road to Sri Town was far but smooth, not too difficult to ride on. In less than two hours, they arrived at the Niu Sanxian family home, which was easy to find just next to the town. Just ask someone, and they’d tell you.

The Niu family seemed well off, living in a six-room, two-story building made of blue bricks that looked newly constructed, with two large courtyards facing south from the north side, in an expansive area indicating that this household held a high status in the village and certainly had a voice in community matters.

The Niu family’s courtyards were filled with dining tables, and Niu Sanxian and a refined-looking middle-aged woman were greeting guests at the entrance. He Xuewen parked his bike at the main gate and took out three jars of liquor and two bolts of fine Dacron fabric from the basket—a truly generous gift.

"Brother He, welcome, welcome. This is my wife, Yuxiu; and this is Mr. He I’ve told you about," Niu Sanxian introduced his wife and He Xuewen to each other.

Mrs. Niu, up close, was even more beautiful. Though wrinkles lightly traced her eyes, they remained clear and bright, revealing that she was a woman who had not been worn down by life’s hardships.

Deng Yuxiu was taken aback by He Xuewen’s handsome appearance; my, a thud in her old heart, it fluttered despite herself. It was no wonder Guiyuan was constantly daydreaming about him—he was even better looking than Wang Xingang (a heartthrob of China’s entertainment industry in the 60s)!

Alas, it was a pity that he was already married with children, but even if he were a bit older, it wouldn’t have mattered—such a good-looking man was a treat just to look at! Deng Yuxiu felt it was quite regrettable, taking several lingering glances at He Xuewen.

He Xuewen then introduced the three children to Mr. and Mrs. Niu. Tian Sisi sweetly greeted the couple, while Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi were also naturals at socializing, amusing Deng Yuxiu to the point of squinting with joy as she hugged Tian Sisi without letting go. She loved pretty, clean, and eloquent little girls—it was a shame that her own household only had a grown-up, plump girl like Guiyuan.

Mr. Niu, Niu Wuwei, sat in the main hall in his brand new silk outfit, receiving congratulations from a crowd of guests. Niu Wuwei looked a lot like Niu Sanxian with his stout build, and the Old Man seemed hale and hearty in spirit.

"May Grandpa Niu have fortune as vast as the Eastern seas and a life longer than the Southern mountains, may you have today every year and this morning every day!"

Tian Sisi rattled off a litany of auspicious phrases, dressed in a red skirt and looking beautiful—as if she stepped right out of a New Year’s painting. The guests present all inquired about the identity of this lovely little girl.

Niu Wuwei’s eyes narrowed into slits with delight as he grabbed a handful of White Rabbit Creamy Candies from the table and offered them to Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua, the Old Man’s heart swelling with joy!

Niu Guiyuan had originally planned to come out and call Niu Sanxian to the kitchen, but upon seeing He Xuewen there too, she huffed and coldly turned her head to leave. Tian Sisi found it amusing—this plump waitress was clearly harboring a grudge born out of love for her Daddy!

Thinking of this, Tian Sisi couldn’t help but start thinking about He Xuewen’s lifelong happiness. In her past life, her biological mother had presumably started a new family in Hong Kong, otherwise she wouldn’t have just left a sum of money for her biological daughter and ceased all contact.

Compared to the yet-to-be-met Mu Xiulan, Tian Sisi naturally felt closer to He Xuewen. She didn’t want her Daddy to be a bachelor for life. She had to find him a good woman, but first, she had to convince He Xuewen.

He Xuewen, however, was still set on finding Mu Xiulan, so Tian Sisi felt it wasn’t right to clarify things with him just yet. She would have to handle this matter delicately.

Determined, Tian Sisi took a few more glances at Fat Guiyuan and upon closer observation, she realized that actually, the girl had a pretty decent foundation. She was just a double-sized version of Mrs. Niu. As the saying goes, every fatty has potential. In her eyes, this plump sister would surely be no less attractive than her own mother once slimmed down.

"Sister, you look so much like Niu Mumu!"

Niu Guiyuan did remember Tian Sisi and was surprised, "Little sister, how come you’re at my house? Where are your adults?"

"Sister, my name is Sisi. I’ve come with my Daddy to celebrate Grandpa Niu’s birthday!"

"Your Daddy?" Niu Guiyuan remembered Tian Manjin’s face, and she was sure her family had no ties with that man!

"Yes, that’s my Daddy!"

Tian Sisi pointed at He Xuewen. Niu Guiyuan was instantly dumbfounded. How did this old swindler become the girl’s Daddy? He was the one who had asked her about the girl’s family back then!

"Sisi, how come he is your Daddy? That man is not a good person; he’s a big scammer!"

"Sister, Daddy is my godfather, he’s not a bad person. My Daddy is really nice!"

Tian Sisi was puzzled at the sight of Niu Guiyuan itching with loathing. Just what exactly did her Daddy do to offend this plump girl, making her look as if she had a deep grudge?

"So, he’s your godfather. Sisi, how did you end up recognizing that scammer as your godfather?"

Niu Guiyuan’s curiosity was piqued, and she became so engrossed in the conversation that she even forgot about the kitchen duties, sitting with Tian Sisi in a corner, chattering away.

"My Daddy isn’t a scammer, he’s really nice. Sister, why do you always say my Daddy is a scammer? Did my Daddy scam something from you?"

Tian Sisi stared at Fat Guiyuan with innocent, wide eyes and asked an awkward question that left Fat Guiyuan speechless. How was she supposed to answer this? Should she say that her Daddy had cheated her feelings?

But it was all her unrequited love! He Xuewen had never even confessed his love to her. It was at this moment that Fat Guiyuan realized how ridiculous her recent jealousy and sourness had been. Her face fell as she sighed listlessly.
