Song Lili frowned. "Like this? It seems to be the worst option, doesn't it?"
The outbreak of ten years of turmoil was the most detrimental thing for the elderly.
She looked at Yang Weimin and asked, "Uncle Weimin, do you think so too?"
Yang Weimin nodded silently, indicating his agreement with what Li Weiguo said.
While Song Lili was still organizing her thoughts, trying to figure out how to explain her method to the two of them, Zhang Qinghua spoke up.
“I don’t think this will work. It can only solve the problem in the short term. In the long run, the contradictions will emerge. It is actually the worst approach.”
"How so?" Li Weiguo looked at Zhang Qinghua, seemingly very interested in what he was saying.
"Think about it, even family members sometimes argue. Let alone strangers."
"Nowadays, everyone is paying a lot of attention to food rations. What if someone has a conflict over whether they eat more or less?"
"This..." This really stumped Li Weiguo; he hadn't thought of this question before.
Song Lili chimed in, "Yes, then if there's going to be any mediation, it'll definitely be the two uncles. No matter what you do, you'll offend someone."
Yang Weimin was also taken aback by the calmness of Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua's words. Upon closer reflection, he realized that such a situation was not impossible, and was very likely to occur.
Many elderly women in families are meticulous and careful with their food rations, and this... can actually happen.
Seeing that both of them seemed to be softening, Song Lili pressed on, "And then there's the difference in lifestyle."
“Those elderly people used to live in the city, so they are definitely different from us in many ways. It will take a lot of time to integrate them into our Hongqi Village.”
“They certainly wouldn’t skimp on food; they all want to be full. But what about our Hongqi Village? When there’s no work to do, everyone only eats until they’re half full. Who would eat until they’re completely full?”
"Won't this create problems? Also, their living arrangements are very different, so putting them together is simply not feasible."
Upon reflection, the two realized it was true, and their hearts skipped a beat. They were both relieved that Lili had said those words earlier that day.
Otherwise, the two might think it's for the elderly's good and that they're taking care of them, and in the end, their good intentions could backfire, which would be disastrous.
Li Weiguo looked at Song Lili and asked, "Do you have an idea?" Li Weiguo thought that if Song Lili didn't have a solution, she definitely wouldn't have let them come.
Song Lili nodded. "Yes, my idea is to let them live on their own, just like those who experience life."
“But they are all elderly people, and they have to take care of themselves. Is that alright?” Yang Weimin was somewhat doubtful and felt that it was inappropriate.
“Uncle, this is the best way,” Zhang Qinghua said. “We can help you secretly, without making it so obvious.”
After several attempts, Zhang Qinghua had long sensed that Song Lili had always wanted to separate those people from the people of Hongqi Village and didn't want them to mix together.
Although Zhang Qinghua didn't know why, he just followed in Song Lili's footsteps and secretly helped her.
“There are several people here. They help each other, and if we help them out a bit more, they will definitely be able to live a good life in Hongqi Village.”
"This way, it won't be conspicuous, and it won't make future visitors feel dissatisfied."
Even if Li Weiguo didn't want to admit it, he still had to speak up, and Song Lili's method was the best.
Seeing people looking out for each other is a good idea. Since they come from similar places, it's definitely more comfortable to get along with them than with other people.
Li Weiguo also remembered that Qian Liulin seemed to have said something before, such as not to be too obvious, so this was the best way.
Finally, Daqing chimed in, "Uncle, I think Lili's point is quite valid. If I lived with those elderly people, I would feel uncomfortable."
"I think so too, and I think they should feel the same way."
Daqing put himself in that environment and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He always felt that living with city people was very stressful and that he would be looked down upon.
One Song Yi left him with a deep psychological scar: "What if I encounter another Song Yi?"
Li Weiguo and Yang Weimin were startled, both looking at each other in surprise. Neither of them had considered this question.
I just felt that since Qian Liulin had asked me to do this, I should make the best arrangements for them. I asked the villagers to take care of them at their homes, and they thought it was very good.
But now, after hearing what these three people said, the two suddenly realized that their previous idea was terrible.
Li Weiguo swallowed hard. "But where will they live? Is it really okay to let them live on their own?"
Song Lili immediately nodded, "Of course they can, they'll take good care of themselves."
When faced with a threat to their life, people will subconsciously choose the most advantageous way to survive.
Therefore, they will definitely take good care of themselves and get through this safely.
"As for accommodation, which is what I'm going to talk about today, we need to build a few houses in advance, otherwise they really won't have anywhere to stay when they come."
Song Lili also had a longer-term plan in mind: there would definitely be more than just this one group coming, so she should prepare early so she wouldn't be caught off guard later.
Everyone was surprised by what Song Lili said; even Zhang Qinghua hadn't expected her to have such a plan.
"You mean you're building houses specifically for them? Aren't you afraid people will gossip?" Li Weiguo thought it was unacceptable.
Song Lili didn't intend to get everyone's agreement as soon as she said it. "Uncle, I've thought this through carefully."
"They're getting old, and living in dilapidated houses will make them more susceptible to illness. In the end, won't we be the ones worrying about them?"
"Besides, this house wasn't built specifically for them. When other people come later, they'll just be put together."
This was also Song Lili's plan. By gathering those people together, there would be far fewer troubles, and even if something happened, they could react quickly.
Li Weiguo and Yang Weimin were still hesitant and remained silent for a while.
Song Lili stood up and said, "Uncle, you can think about it. I'll go back now."
She had already finished what she needed to do; as for the rest, it was up to Li Weiguo and Yang Weimin to decide.
It would be best to use her method, but it's okay if we don't; she'll be able to come up with a solution later.
There's always a way out; can a living person die from holding their pee?
Song Lili left gracefully, leaving several people looking at each other, especially Zhang Qinghua, who felt very uncomfortable.
She wanted to follow Song Lili out, but with elders around, she couldn't stay there; it was a bit awkward.
At this moment, he gritted his teeth inwardly. That naughty girl, Lili, actually left all by herself, without even taking him with her.
Daqing, on the other hand, was more easygoing and didn't feel embarrassed.
He stood up naturally and helped Zhang Qinghua. "Uncle, Qinghua and I will be leaving now. You two can discuss it."
Once permission was granted, they left with Zhang Qinghua, who breathed a huge sigh of relief.
