Li Sijie also hadn't seen this uncle for several years, and she didn't call in advance before coming here today, mainly because she didn't want to trouble her uncle with preparing lunch and such.
Li Sijie's uncle lived in a modest neighborhood. She knocked on the door, and a woman in her forties opened it.
Li Sijie immediately showed a sweet smile and said, "Hello, Aunt."
"Ah... Isn't this Sijie? How come you're here?" Li Sijie's aunt, named Cui Ying, was taken aback at first and then her face lit up with surprise.
Li Sijie said, "I'm now in Minghe and knew that Uncle and Aunt were here. How could I not come to visit?"
"This is..." Cui Ying turned to look at Song Xiaodong, finding him very unfamiliar. She had attended Li Sijie's wedding to that man before, and now Li Sijie was suddenly bringing a stranger, which made her a bit suspicious.
"Aunt, I got divorced. This is my current husband, Song Xiaodong," Li Sijie explained directly.
