Xue Jiao realized even more clearly that Song Lili's life was better than many others, perhaps even better.
These were all thoughts Xue Jiao kept to herself. She never voiced them. Therefore, no one knew what was going on in her mind.
After Song Lili and Song Fang finished preparing all the dishes, they called them to eat together.
It's only been a short time since the Lunar New Year, and the temperature outside is still quite cold, so it's not suitable to eat in the yard.
Song Lili then placed the food in the main room. It was slightly warmer and more comfortable there.
After Song Lili finished cooking, the children went to wash their hands and then came over to help serve the dishes and get the bowls and chopsticks.
Xue Jiao didn't need to help at all; the children had already set out the bowls and chopsticks and were just waiting to eat.
When the last dish was served, Song Lili called Zhang Qinghua and Zhang Zeyu out to eat.
Seeing the table laden with food, mostly meat and vegetables, Zhang Zeyu actually felt bad.
"You can just make two simple dishes, why make so many? We're not strangers, there's no need to spend so much."
Song Lili couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't make much, just two simple dishes to entertain your family. It's a welcome dinner and also to celebrate my cousin's transfer to the capital."
In any case, Chengdu is the center of the country, and its development prospects are definitely better than other places, so this is something to celebrate.
Zhang Zeyu was also happy about this. After all, being able to transfer to work in the capital is a rare opportunity that not everyone can have.
So, this is really something to celebrate.
What Song Li is most curious about now is Zhang Zeyu's superior. Why did they suddenly release him in the end?
So she asked with some curiosity, "Cousin, didn't you say your boss wouldn't let you go no matter what? How come he suddenly changed his mind and let you report here?"
Ever since Qian Liulin told Song Lili about this person, Song Lili had been curious about why this person would agree to it.
Zhang Zeyu was also curious as to why Song Li knew these things: "How did you know I had such a leader?"
"He's just a bit stubborn, but he's actually a very good person. When he heard I was transferred to the capital, he immediately let me go, telling me to do a good job in the capital and try to get promoted in the future."
Song Lili was even more puzzled. How could this be completely different from what Qian Liulin had said?
"But I heard he won't release you. He said you're his right-hand man?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zeyu couldn't help but find it amusing. "It's true that he doesn't want to release the person, but he also feels that this is a very rare opportunity and doesn't want to hold me back."
"So he actually supports my coming to work in the capital. He's just worried that if I pack my bags and leave as soon as I receive the transfer order, people in the capital will think I'm not good. That's why he said he wants to put some pressure on them so they'll think I'm someone they begged to be transferred to, not someone they eagerly wanted."
After hearing this rather bizarre explanation, Song Lili suddenly felt that Zhang Zeyu's boss was like Zhang Zeyu's mother.
She truly has the heart of a loving mother; she's thought of everything.
However, if Qian Liulin heard that this was the reason he had been worried, I wonder what Brother Qian would think.
However, Song Lili was certain that it probably wasn't a good idea; perhaps Brother Qian would even want to strangle Zhang Zeyu's leader.
He transferred Zhang Zeyu to the capital because he valued Zhang Zeyu's work ability. However, he never expected that Zhang Zeyu's superiors would play such a trick on him.
Song Li, you have to admit, Zhang Zeyu's boss is actually this kind of person.
After Zhang Zeyu finished explaining, he was still very curious, "Lili, you still haven't told me how you found out about this?"
Zhang Zeyu had never told Song Lili about his work. Therefore, this information could not have leaked from her.
Song Lili didn't actually hide anything from him: "Because I know your boss. He's a friend of mine, and he told me you had such a boss, so I was curious."
"But I never expected the answer I would hear would be like this."
Song Li, ask yourself honestly, would she do such a thing for an employee under her command?
The answer is no. She would make the same choice, but she wouldn't do anything that would force someone to keep her from reporting for duty.
This only shows that Zhang Zeyu's superiors have rather peculiar thought processes that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
After satisfying her curiosity, Song Lili then called Xue Jiao and Zhang Zeyu to eat.
Because I cooked a lot of food tonight, it's a little late. Everyone was hungry, so no one said anything; we just ate a little something to fill our stomachs.
When everyone was about half full, they slowly began to eat while talking.
During the meal, no one said much; they just chatted casually.
Zhang Zeyu recounted what he had seen and heard in the capital over the past few days, and then talked about some of the things that had happened during those days.
Because Song Lili's children are used to sharing their entire day's experiences at the dinner table, today was no exception.
They talked about things that happened at school, and Zhang Zeyu and Xue Jiao listened, while their three children, naturally curious, also listened along.
After dinner, Song Lili urged the children to leave, telling them to go back and do their homework, and then go to bed.
When only Song Lili, Zhang Qinghua and his wife, and Zhang Zeyu and his family remained, they finally sat down to talk about how everyone had been doing over the years.
It was through this gradual recounting that they learned about what had happened to each other over the years.
After hearing what Song Lili said, Zhang Zeyu was also very impressed with her.
"Back when we were sent to the countryside as educated youth, I felt you were no ordinary person; you were completely different from the average rural girl." - Qian Liulin
"In that situation, who would have been as brave as you? Not only did you help us find out the truth, but you also went to help those elderly people in the village."
Zhang Zeyu had actually seen Song Lili with them back then.
However, such things are not suitable for more people to know, so Zhang Zeyu kept these things to himself and did not publicize them.
Zhang Zeyu knew that if these things were publicized and everyone in the village knew about them, it would not do Song Lili any good.
