On this day, Mrs. Chen came to the Tang family and brought them good news. Her cousin agreed to come to Beijing.

Mrs. Chen was born in a century-old scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. Her family has been heirlooming poetry and calligraphy for hundreds of years, and she has a profound cultural heritage. When the family was at its most glorious, there was a school with six academicians, which was a sensation at the time. The centuries-old inheritance still stands today, and it is absolutely related to the family's educational concepts. The ancestors of the Chen family did not have the outdated ideas of the literati of the old era, and believed that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. He believes that both men and women should receive education. Only women with good education can better educate the children in the family, so that the family can be more prosperous and prosperous. Therefore, the family motto of the Chen family is that, regardless of gender, as long as they love reading, the family will provide them with sufficient resources and do their best to help them. Special attention is paid to the education of girls. Therefore, the Chen family has always been in a situation where there are many girls in the family. It is precisely because of such family training that the women of the Chen family are often not inferior to most men, and are even better than some men in the world.

Mrs. Chen's cousin is such a woman. If it weren't for her low-key nature and dislike of publicity, there would have been no other talented women of the Republic of China. Mrs. Chen's cousin is also Tang Xin's aunt. It is said that she is a strange woman. She has never been married. Unlike Mrs. Chen who likes music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has a wide range of interests, and she prefers modern subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry. , is also proficient in astronomy and geography. She once went to Europe to study, just to learn advanced Western knowledge. She also walked alone through the large and small canyons of Sichuan Province in order to inspect the natural landforms. Due to the social unrest over the years, she began to take things as they came and traveled around. When she found a place she liked, she would settle down for a period of time, sometimes for a month or two. Sometimes it's a year or two.

The year before last, when she was getting older, she decided to return to her hometown for retirement. Mrs. Chen sent a telegram to her cousin, inviting her to come to Beijing to visit when she had time. The cousin agreed and replied that she would come over in a while and let her see Tang Xin. If the cousin fell in love with Tang Xin, everything would be solved.

"That's great." Tang's mother met this cousin when she was very young and admired her very much. "Mom, I think Tang's mother will definitely like our sugar baby if she sees her." Tang's mother is still very confident in this point, her sugar baby is so smart.

"If Tangbao's aunt can really teach Tangbao for a while, it will be a blessing for Tangbao. In-laws, if her aunt comes to Beijing, she must tell us. We have to visit in person." The old lady of the Tang family I was very happy after hearing this and quickly told Mrs. Chen.

"Sister, don't worry. When my cousin comes, I will definitely inform you. My cousin has a very good personality. You will definitely get along well with her." Old Mrs. Chen said with a smile on her face.

Tang Xin's important study matter was solved, and everyone let go of another worry. After seeing off the eldest uncle, the second aunt also completed the work handover and was about to leave with the children.

Since Tang Xin's uncle helped several brothers go to school in Haishi, the matter was quickly resolved. Once they arrived in Haishi, they could directly enter the corresponding classes to study.

Before departure, everyone came to the old house to get together as usual. Mrs. Tang took the hands of several grandchildren and gave instructions. Several cousins ​​were also very sensible and reassured grandma that they would be back during the holidays. The second aunt's condition is very good, and she is full of expectations for life in Haishi. After all, the family can be reunited and no longer need to be separated. The next day, with the expectation of a new life, the second aunt and several brothers boarded the train going south.

After sending away her eldest son, second daughter-in-law and several grandchildren, Mrs. Tang's mood was very low for a few days. Tang Xin was left in the old house to accompany her grandma these few days. It happened that she didn't have to go to the nursery. Yes, kill two birds with one stone.

In early November, the Chen family received a telegram from their aunt, telling them that her aunt was ready to go to Beijing and asked Mrs. Chen to help rent a house as a place to stay in Beijing. After receiving the telegram, the Chen family and the Tang family got busy, asking around where there was a house for rent. Originally, Mrs. Chen planned to let her cousin live at home, but when she thought about her cousin's character, she would definitely not agree. My feet are okay. If my cousin decides to settle in Beijing for a period of time, she would definitely prefer to have her own space.

After choosing many places, none of them were satisfactory, Tang Xin finally said, "Why not look near the University of Washington? There are educated people here. My aunt must like the environment here."

Yes, the words awakened the dreamer. Most of the people near BGI are teachers from the school, and many celebrities and scholars from all walks of life also live nearby. This area has a rich cultural atmosphere and a good environment. When nothing happens, aunt My mother-in-law can also communicate with the neighbors, and maybe she can make good friends. My aunt will definitely like it. After receiving the reminder from his daughter, Tang's father excitedly went looking for a house.

Finally, we settled on a house, which was only a ten-minute walk from Tang Xin's home. The owners were two old men, both teachers at the University of Washington. The yard was an old-fashioned courtyard with two entrances. The house was a bit big and the couple was quite empty. So I found someone to divide it into two small courtyards. They thought they could rent it out, and the two of them didn't mind the rent. They just wanted to rent it to someone they liked, but it was hard to find such a person, so they kept it vacant. After hearing about my aunt's situation, , the old couple agreed immediately. It was a small independent courtyard with a main room, two side rooms, a kitchen and a utility room. There was also an osmanthus tree in the yard. There should be flowers and plants planted on the surrounding walls. The small yard was tidied up. The house is very tidy and the yard is small and well-equipped.

Mrs. Chen also came to see it and was very satisfied with it. "Well, not bad. My cousin should like the environment here. In the summer, plant some flowers and plants in the yard, put a table and lounge chairs under this tree, drink tea and read books here when you have nothing to do. Well, it's good. of."

Since everything in the yard was ready, everyone did not add anything more, but simply placed it away, and then decorated it according to their own preferences after the aunt came. It would not be beautiful if they decorated it in advance.

One day in mid-November, with the sound of the train whistle, my aunt came.
