"I was just teasing your brother-in-law," Zhong Liying said, quickly letting go.
She then walked over to her younger sister and pulled up her little head. "Getting into mischief at such a young age. What were you peeking at?"
After dinner, Zhong Xiaofeng's phone rang.
"Hi, moshi moshi!" she chirped in perfect Japanese.
Zhong Liying explained to Sun Dasheng, "That's a call from Yoko's mother."
"Oh, who's Yoko?"
"'Zhong Xiaofeng' is the Chinese name my paternal uncle gave her. Her Japanese name is Sato Yoko."
"Sato?"
"Yes, it's the most common surname in Japan, just like how Zhang and Li are common here."
After hanging up, Sato Yoko—also known as Zhong Xiaofeng—said happily, "Sister Liying, Mom is so happy to hear you have a boyfriend! She said she'll come visit when she has time and wants you to introduce him."
"Of course. When Auntie comes over, just let me know. I'll make some time to show her around our Dahu City."
