It was because he was grateful—grateful for everything Song Lili had done back then, grateful for the help she had given him when he was almost at his wit's end.
However, Song Lili did not feel that she had done anything particularly great.
When she did those things back then, she did it entirely out of her own heart. It was only after hearing about the persecution of many people that she had the idea of wanting to help them.
Although it was a rather risky thing at the time, Song Lili was still able to minimize the risks.
Song Lili did this purely because Hongqi Village was extremely isolated. That's why she dared to be so bold.
So I just laughed and said, "It's not as good as you all say. I only brought you food a few times back then."
“Grandpa, you were able to persevere because of yourselves. It has nothing to do with me. So, you should thank yourselves.”
Song Lili held the same opinion as always, and the elderly people had heard this many times.
I've heard Qian Liulin's story many times.
Seeing that Li Zhiyuan was about to speak, Qian Liulin interrupted them, saying there was no need to continue discussing the topic.
Over the years, and after so many discussions, they still haven't reached any conclusions, so let's not talk about this topic anymore.
"Lili, I heard that everything went smoothly when you brought them here, is that right?" Qian Liulin changed the subject.
"Hey, how did you know?" Song Lili had never told Qian Liulin about this.
Qian Liulin smiled and said, "I heard it from Daqing. I met Daqing a few days ago, and he told me that my uncle and the others have come to the capital."
"Why didn't you tell me? I should have gone to see them after I knew Uncle and the others were here."
In Qian Liulin's heart, Song Yongren was also a benefactor.
Although he didn't openly show concern for the elderly, he still lent a helping hand when they were working because of his kind heart.
So when Qian Liulin heard that Song Yongren had come to the capital, he wanted to pay him a visit.
"Let's not. You're so busy with work, there's no need to make a special trip. Besides, my boss certainly wouldn't want to interfere with your work."
"If you have a day off, come over for dinner." Song Lili couldn't refuse Qian Liulin's invitation, so she could only invite him over for dinner.
Wu Ying, who was standing nearby, said, "Xiao Lin and I will go together another day. I also want to visit Uncle and thank him for his help back then."
Now that they are all capable, they all want to repay the kindness shown to them back then and express their gratitude.
Song Lili didn't stop them, so she happily agreed, "Sure, just let me know before you come, and I'll prepare some delicious food for you at home."
And that was how the matter was settled. After chatting with them for several hours, Song Lili finally said goodbye and went home.
As soon as she stepped outside, a cold wind blew. Song Lili shivered from the cold, and couldn't help but wrap her cotton-padded coat tighter around her. She quickened her pace and walked home, trembling.
This winter is so cold, it's almost freezing to death.
In the days that followed, Song Lili didn't want to go out. She had one principle: if she could stay home, she would stay home; if she could lie on the kang (a heated brick bed), she would stay home and not move around.
In the days that followed, Song Lili did exactly as she had expected, never stepping out of her house once.
She only needs to prepare lunch and dinner for her family every day; she doesn't even need to prepare breakfast because Song Lili is too afraid of the cold.
Zhang Aiai took the initiative to do the job because she had to go to work in the morning and got up early, so making breakfast for everyone was something she could do.
After breakfast, the task of grocery shopping was given to Zhang Shengtian.
He can't stay at home; even when it's cold, he has to go out and chat with the neighbors. So he bought groceries while he was at it.
Song Lili cooked lunch, and after lunch, she went back to her room and stayed there.
Because it was so cold, she sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) all afternoon, whether reading or writing her work plan for the coming year, she just wouldn't move.
Seeing Song Lili like this, her whole family felt helpless, but there was nothing they could do.
Because Song Lili was so afraid of the cold, she would shiver as soon as she went out, which made others feel sorry for her, so they couldn't help but spoil her.
Therefore, many people think that Song Lili has been rarely seen this winter because she has been staying at home alone all winter.
With the New Year fast approaching and the children already on holiday, Song Lili finally had to get off the kang (a heated brick bed).
However, even after coming down, she was still very afraid of the cold. Wherever she went, that place would become warm.
Especially in their bedroom and kitchen, the temperature is much higher than outside.
Now, Song Lili doesn't participate in any outings; Zhang Shengtian takes the children to buy groceries.
For everything else, Zhang Qinghua would either go, or Song Lili would send Xiao Chen to do it. She never went out on her own.
Song Fang couldn't help but complain many times, "Sister, you've had a really comfortable winter."
“You run to wherever it’s hot, and even your brother-in-law and the others spoil you and let you do whatever you want. The life you’re living now is the life many women dream of.”
What Fangfang said wasn't false; Song Lili's life was indeed the kind of life many people dream of.
The fact that she can do whatever she wants is already something many women envy, not to mention that everyone in her family spoils her.
Even Xiao Hui, who is around ten years old, always obeys his mother.
Moreover, Zhang Qinghua repeatedly reminded her not to talk back to Song Lili, and to actively help her mother with anything.
Of the three children in the family, it's probably only the youngest, Xinyi, who hasn't received any instructions from Zhang Qinghua. He's told his two sons off many times.
What's most enviable is that they actually did exactly what Zhang Qinghua said.
After hearing what Song Fang said, Song Lili also felt that she was living a very good life.
She thought about it carefully. Husband, with Zhang Qinghua's looks, it's no wonder that others envy him.
Because Zhang Qinghua is now basically obedient to everything Song Lili says.
The father-in-law is someone others envy; Zhang Shengtian is understanding and reasonable, and he would never cause trouble for his daughter-in-law.
Most importantly, he treats his daughter-in-law like his own daughter, which is what many people envy most.
Even the children are the envy of others because they are all obedient and never talk back to Song Lili.
They are well-behaved and sensible, yet lively and spirited; many people who have seen them have praised them highly.
With this simple thought, Song Lili felt that she was actually living a pretty good life.
