Li Yuanyi's departure didn't bother Li Zhiyuan at all. He grabbed Song Lili, grinning from ear to ear, and couldn't be happier.
"Lili, that brat keeps saying you're busy. I've urged him several times, and he still says you're busy. I don't know if he's just trying to appease this old man!" Li Zhiyuan wasn't very happy.
"You brat? Is that Li Yuanyi?"
"Grandpa, what Brother Li said is true. My uncle and aunt's family came to visit these past few days, and I've been busy entertaining them."
“I’ve already told Brother Li. He’s probably worried that I won’t be able to take care of it, so he told you that.”
Song Lili immediately understood; it was she herself who had said she would tell Li Yuanyi whenever she had time.
She didn't call, and Li Yuanyi assumed she was busy, so he naturally told the old man this.
Therefore, Li Yuanyi is indeed very considerate in his actions.
"Your boss is here? He came to see you?" Li Zhiyuan was surprised, seemingly not expecting to hear such news.
Song Lili nodded, "Yes, the work in the fields is now finished. They said they were worried about us sisters, so they came to check on us."
"That's great. Parents always worry, so it's good for them to come and see. It puts their minds at ease."
"Besides, it's a good opportunity to go out and see the world. Staying in the village all the time is much better than not going out."
Li Zhiyuan also remembered Song Yongren; he was an honest, kind-hearted farmer.
"Yes, so I'm thinking of taking my dad around the capital in a few days. I can't let him come to the capital; he'll just stay at home."
"Haha, that's exactly what I mean. Staying at home every day is boring, so I want to go out. But this group of unfilial children won't let the old man go out. They keep saying they're scared, afraid that something will happen to the old man."
"I think they'd love for the old man to die. They're cursing me every day and won't let me go out."
Song Lili and the nanny next to her were both amused and exasperated by what they heard. "Grandpa, if the younger generation heard what you said, they'd probably cry, right?"
Song Lili was helpless. The old man was right after all!
"Grandpa, they're worried about you, aren't they?" Song Lili said with a smile.
Although the old man is in good health, he is getting on in years, and even if he wanted to go out, his family would be worried about him!
That's why the old man got upset and started acting like a child.
"Hmph, I'm perfectly healthy. They won't let me go out, and you never come to see me. You're just stuck here like an old man, so boring."
"Then I'll come see you whenever I have time, okay?" Song Lili was even more helpless and could only... well, coax her.
"Alright, alright, you must remember what you said. Come visit me more often in the future. I'll remember what you said!"
"Okay, I remember." Song Lili nodded, then took out the gift she had bought. "This is for you, Grandpa."
"Why are you buying these? We already have them at home."
"This is my heartfelt gift. Besides, Grandpa can eat what I bought today, it will definitely taste especially good." When you're in a good mood, everything tastes good.
"Haha, you're so good with words, girl. Alright, let's eat what you bought today and let me taste it to see if it's really sweet."
"Okay, I'll go wash up."
This wasn't Song Lili's first visit to the Li family. So she knew where the kitchen was and didn't need the nanny's help; she did everything herself.
Li Zhiyuan sat alone outside, grinning happily, when he saw Qian Xianming and Wu Zhongge come in from outside.
"How come you two old guys are so well-informed? This girl has only been here a short while, and you already know?" Li Zhiyuan said irritably.
He was hoping to have a good talk with Lili, but now that these two old folks are here, he won't have any time.
Qian Xianming laughed, "Of course. We've been keeping an eye on your house. We've been waiting for Lili to come over." So, how could we not hurry?
“That’s right, I haven’t seen Lili in so long. This time when we meet, we must have a good talk.” Wu Zhongge nodded in agreement.
"Hmph, you're not welcome in my house, get out!" Li Zhiyuan shouted angrily. These two people were really annoying.
"We didn't come here to see you."
"Exactly. If it weren't for Lili being here, we wouldn't have come. Do you think we'd want to see your old face?"
"You...you guys..." Li Zhiyuan was speechless, utterly exasperated by the two men's provocation.
When Song Lili came out of the kitchen, she saw Li Zhiyuan pointing at the two of them, looking very angry.
Song Lili smiled and said, "Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Wu, you've arrived?"
"Lili, where have you been?"
"Lili, it's been so long since you've come."
When Song Lili appeared, the two of them ignored Li Zhiyuan and looked at Song Lili with smiles. They were no longer the same people who had been arguing with him just now.
"I've been a bit busy these past few days, so I kept putting it off. But I finally had some time today, so I thought I'd come and see the grandfathers!"
Song Lili placed the fruit on the table. "Grandpas, come and have some fruit. I picked these out myself; they're sure to be sweet."
I don't know what the three old men were saying. Why did the atmosphere become so awkward?
Song Lili didn't ask any questions, but simply spoke up in the middle, preventing them from continuing their previous topic.
"Okay, I'll try it."
"Girl, what you bought must be delicious."
"good"
The three old men seemed to have forgotten their previous argument, and came over with smiles, sitting on the sofa.
Then, they asked Song Lili about her plans to take a break, and Song Lili told them.
They talked about what happened some time ago, including the visit of Song Yongren and Zhang Aiai.
"Your boss is here? Why didn't you bring him with you today? We've known each other for a long time, it's been so many years, we should have a good chat!" Qian Xianming said with a smile.
He's good at interpersonal relationships, so his words are more tactful and diplomatic.
Song Lili smiled and said, "My uncle was picked up by Fangfang, so I took some time to come over."
She knew it was just talk. They had no real relationship with Da Da; they were only saying it out of respect for her.
Song Lili saw it clearly: if she hadn't helped them back then, how could she possibly be getting along with them like this?
They're from completely different worlds, so it's already quite unexpected that they could come together.
Therefore, Song Lili never thinks highly of herself, nor does she consider herself a benefactor; she knows exactly where she stands.
Therefore, I just chatted with the elderly people and didn't make any excessive demands.
"Eat only what you are capable of," is the rule Song Lili sets for herself. She feels at ease only when she relies on herself.
If you have no demands, you can naturally get along well with them.
"That's a real pity. Come over another day when you have time. We're acquaintances, after all," Li Zhiyuan said.
"I'll see how it goes and see if I have time." Song Lili nodded and did not refuse.
There's a big difference between promising something and actually doing it.
