Upon hearing that Zhang Zeyu was coming, Song Lili readily gave him the address in the alley.
Anyway, I had already planned to have a meal with their family, so there was nothing to hesitate about.
After Zhang Zeyu carefully wrote down the address Song Lili gave him, the two of them finally hung up the phone.
Song Lili went to buy groceries and then entertained Zhang Zeyu's family.
Zhang Zeyu also planned to go home so that Xue Jiao and the others could tidy themselves up properly before visiting Song Lili's house.
From the moment they hung up the phone, the two of them were busy on both sides.
Song Lili was all alone at home, so she had no one else to talk to. She went directly to Song Fang's house to discuss the matter with her.
I also wanted to tell Fangfang that Zhang Zeyu would be coming over for dinner that evening, and that Fangfang should bring Chu Ci and the children with her.
When Song Fang heard that Zhang Zeyu would be coming to the alley that evening, she didn't stay at home. Instead, she went to the market with Song Lili to buy groceries and prepare a nice meal to entertain Zhang Zeyu and his family.
The two sisters browsed around the market, discussed their dinner menu, and bought enough ingredients before heading home together to prepare for their big meal.
Song Lili's cooking skills are better than Song Fang's, so tonight, Song Fang is just helping Song Lili.
The sisters worked together and managed to prepare a very sumptuous dinner.
When the children came home, they could smell the delicious aroma coming from the yard.
Xiao Hui ran to the kitchen with great surprise, her eyes round and bright, and asked Song Lili very happily.
"Mom, did you make something delicious today? I can smell the aroma, it smells amazing."
Song Lili affectionately flicked his head. "How come your nose is so sensitive? You knew I made something delicious as soon as you walked in the door!"
"An uncle is coming to our house today, so Mom is going to make something delicious to entertain them. Go tell your brother and sister that we're having guests soon, and remember to greet them when they arrive."
Song Lili patted Xiao Hui's head affectionately and then let him go outside to play.
Xiao Hui was very happy to hear that guests had come to her home.
Anyway, he felt that they often had guests at their house, and his mother always cooked very delicious food when guests came.
This is his favorite time.
So, the happiest person when they heard that guests had come to their home was Xiaohui.
As for the other children, they didn't feel much.
They all knew that whenever guests came to their home, Song Lili would definitely cook a big feast.
As soon as Xiaohui mentioned that guests were coming to their house, they immediately understood that there would be a delicious meal tonight. Naturally, they were happy.
Meanwhile, the Song sisters were busy in the kitchen.
When Zhang Qinghua and the others returned, they naturally learned of this news.
Knowing that Zhang Zeyu and his family were coming to visit, Zhang Qinghua, unlike before when he would immediately go to his bedroom to deal with his own affairs upon returning home, instead helped tidy up the house and see if there was anything he could help with.
Zhang Zeyu is a very considerate person. He waited until everyone had gotten off work before bringing Xue Jiao and the three children to the alley.
By the time Zhang Zeyu knocked on the door, Zhang Qinghua had already been home for half an hour.
Zhang Qinghua went out to open the door, and as soon as he opened it, he saw Zhang Zeyu standing outside, and Xue Jiao next to him.
"Zhang Qinghua, it's been so many years! How come you haven't changed at all?" These were the first words Zhang Zeyu said to Zhang Qinghua.
Because apart from becoming more mature and composed, Zhang Qinghua's appearance really doesn't seem to have changed at all.
He looks exactly the same as before; it seems that only a few years have passed, yet no trace has been left on his face.
After comparing himself to the situation, Zhang Zeyu felt somewhat heartbroken.
Xue Jiao, who was standing nearby, said, "Sorry to bother you today."
Zhang Qinghua simply said, "No disturbance. Lili is already waiting inside. Please come in quickly."
He wasn't very close to these two people; he was only aware of their existence.
The only person who interacted with them was Song Lili.
Zhang Qinghua had always known that Lili had a good relationship with the former educated youth and the elderly people who had been sent down to the village.
Although Zhang Qinghua's attitude was rather cold, Zhang Zeyu and Xue Jiao didn't say much.
The two of them pulled out the three children standing behind them, made them call out to Zhang Qinghua, and then followed Zhang Qinghua into the gate.
Once inside, both of them couldn't help but be surprised. They were astonished that Song Lili's current residence was so nice.
Compared to their small tenement building, Zhang Zeyu felt it was like heaven and earth, with absolutely no comparison.
I couldn't help but think that my cousin had been living a very good life in the capital these past few years.
At the very least, they have enough money; otherwise, they wouldn't be living in a place like this.
Zhang Zeyu simply sighed inwardly and had no other thoughts.
Xue Jiao and Zhang Zeyu shared similar thoughts. They felt only envy and admiration, but no jealousy.
After so many years of experience, they all know that you can only get as much as your abilities allow.
Their combined resources only allowed them to live in a tenement building, so they didn't covet what wasn't theirs.
Their three children didn't have as many thoughts on the matter. They were just curious and surprised.
I was surprised that this place was so nice, and I've always been curious about what else is in this courtyard.
Zhang Qinghua had Xiao Chen take Zhang Zeyu's three children around the yard, while Zhang Qinghua stayed with Zhang Zeyu and his wife, talking to them.
When Song Lili and Song Fang heard that Zhang Zeyu and his wife had arrived, they came out of the kitchen, greeted them, and then went back into the kitchen.
Their dinner wasn't ready yet. They couldn't come out and sit with them.
Zhang Qinghua and Zhang Zeyu were chatting. Xue Jiao felt she couldn't join in, so she thought she should help Song Lili and Song Fang.
However, the two sisters were enough for the kitchen. There was no need for Xue Jiao to help, so they declined Xue Jiao's request.
However, Xue Jiao did not leave the kitchen; she stood at the kitchen doorway and talked to Song Lili.
Watching the two sisters work together to create dish after dish, Xue Jiao couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
I had suspected before that Song Lili was living a pretty good life. But after seeing the dinner that the two sisters had prepared, that feeling became even clearer.
