Song Lili never intended for Song Jianshe's family to live there indefinitely.
It's said that distance makes things better, so it's better to keep your distance, especially since it's the mother-in-law's family, which is prone to conflict.
So Song Lili nodded directly, "Okay, then go and take a look in the next few days, see where there are houses available, and if you find a suitable one, move out."
However, Song Lili felt that buying a house was more cost-effective, so she finally suggested to Song Jianshe, "If you can buy a house, it would be better for you to just buy it."
After all, renting a house carries the risk of having to move, whereas if you owned the house, you wouldn't have to worry about moving at all.
Although Song Jianshe was unsure whether the house would appreciate in value, he agreed with Song Lili's point of view that it was more reassuring to own the house himself.
Moreover, his original plan was to buy a house directly.
Song Jianshe currently has enough money to buy a small courtyard.
"That's what I was thinking too. I figured I should just buy it. Anyway, I'll be living in the capital from now on and won't be going back to Hongqi Village. It's good to have a home here."
That was their decision back then, and now that they've established themselves in the capital, they have no intention of going back.
"Since that's what you think, then I have no objection. You and Da Da can discuss the rest yourselves."
Song Lili was already a married daughter, and she didn't want to get involved in family matters.
Song Jianshe should discuss with Xia Niu what he wants to do. As long as they both agree, no one else should have any objections.
Song Jianshe acted quickly, perhaps because he had already chosen the location beforehand. Therefore, he quickly found a suitable place, and the house was already prepared.
When everything was ready at his house, the whole family helped them move, although they had a little too much stuff.
Fortunately, after moving everything in one morning, it was all done.
The main reason was that they chose a date that fell on a weekend, when all the school children in the family were home. With their help, the adults had a much easier time.
After moving, it's natural to have a housewarming party. That's a custom in Hongqi Village.
Even though they had moved to the capital, they would still subconsciously follow these customs.
So, tonight's dinner was at Song Jianshe's house.
After Xia Niu made money from Song Jianshe's furniture making, her previous reluctance disappeared. Instead, she was quite happy to watch Song Jianshe make furniture.
Sometimes, I felt that Song Jianshe was being a bit lazy, so I urged him to do things, because the real money in his hands was the most important thing.
As for whether the job is respectable, Xia Niu isn't even considering it right now.
Xia Niu was so happy that she prepared an unexpectedly lavish meal that evening, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat.
Looking at the table laden with dishes, Song Lili gave Xia Niu a meaningful look. However, she didn't say anything and happily sat down to eat with everyone.
The children were also very happy, as they were able to eat delicious food and play happily with their friends.
What's even more exciting is that they don't have to go to school the next day or get up early, so they can play to their heart's content.
When the adults were about to leave, the children didn't want to part ways. They hadn't had enough fun yet.
However, it was already very late, and if they continued playing, it was unclear when they would be able to go home.
Only after Song Lili adopted a rather firm stance did she take her children away.
The children from Daqing's family were simply dragged away by Daqing because they refused to leave no matter what he said.
The other children were also unwilling, and they only left after being sternly called by the adults.
Overall, however, everyone had a very happy day.
After Song Jianshe's family moved out, the alley became rather deserted.
The usually lively house suddenly felt empty, and everyone was quite unaccustomed to it.
Zhang Shengtian, in particular, kept muttering to himself, wondering why they moved away so quickly. Actually, it wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't moved; he was happy living together with everyone.
But Song Lili just smiled and didn't say anything.
This is simply impossible; Zhang Shengtian is just being reluctant to do it, which is why he said that.
The Song family was destined to move out eventually, so there was really no difference between moving out sooner or later.
Song Lili supported their move out as soon as possible, in order to maintain the friendship between the two families.
However, after a few days, the family got used to the quietness, and Zhang Shengtian stopped complaining that the house felt deserted.
The family members have resumed their routines as they were before Song Jianshe and his family came to visit.
When Song Lili has free time, she likes to read books.
It's winter now, and it's cold to go outside to bask in the sun, so Song Lili spends most of her time at home. Especially this year, she just stays on the kang (a heated brick bed) without moving, because she feels that the kang is warmer than anywhere else.
This kang (heated brick bed) was installed by Zhang Qinghua this year, at Song Lili's special request.
Previously, only Zhang Shengtian was not used to sleeping in a bed, so Zhang Qinghua built a kang (a heated brick bed) for Zhang Shengtian.
But the weather in Chengdu is just too cold. Especially this year, it seems to be the coldest year in recent years.
Song Lili felt she couldn't take it anymore. So she asked Zhang Qinghua to build a kang (heated brick bed) in their room, just like in Hongqi Village.
After moving all the old beds to the storage room, Song Lili decided that she would not sleep in a bed again this winter.
She also planned to keep the kang (heated brick bed). Anyway, there were plenty of rooms in the courtyard, and she, Song Zhangsheng, and Zhang Qinghua could just find another bedroom.
When the weather gets cold again, this kang (heated brick bed) can be used again.
So this winter was the most comfortable one Song Lili had ever had. Every day she sat on the warm kang (a heated brick bed), holding her favorite book, with snacks and fruit beside her. There was no better time than this.
Song Fang also felt that she couldn't handle it, so she came to her sister's place every day.
The two sisters were even happier with each other's company and someone to talk to, and they lived a particularly fulfilling life every day.
Sometimes Zhang Qinghua felt jealous, jealous that Song Fang could spend every day with Song Lili, making Song Lili ignore him.
But despite his jealousy, Zhang Qinghua's biggest concern was still Song Lili. As long as Song Lili was happy and content, he felt it was all worthwhile.
Song Lili also felt that such days were worthwhile, with her family members all by her side. Moreover, her family was happy, and her children were obedient and sensible.
