Song Lili completely ignored Xia Jun's doubts and excitedly grabbed Zhang Qinghua's arm, "So, what I thought was right, wasn't it?"
Zhang Qinghua's eyes were fixed on Song Lili holding his small hand, lost in thought, and he didn't hear what she said at all.
"Is it right?" Eager for confirmation, Song Lili tugged at Zhang Qinghua several times to bring him back to his senses.
"What did you say?" he asked instinctively.
"I said, what I thought was right, wasn't it?" Song Lili was eager to know the answer, so she wasn't upset by Zhang Qinghua's absent-mindedness; in fact, she didn't even have time to get angry.
“Yes, you’re right.” Zhang Qinghua took a deep breath and nodded firmly. He had even more doubts about Song Lili. How could she know so much?
"Oh, this is wonderful!" Song Lili jumped up and down, shouting, "This is absolutely fantastic news!"
"Hurry home and have a good celebration." With that, he took his own basket off Zhang Qinghua's back and handed him the things Zhang Qinghua had bought.
"I'm going home, you can do whatever you want with me." Then, he rushed home, letting out his excitement by running.
"Sigh... Lili..." Zhang Qinghua stretched out his hand, helplessly watching the departing figure. He had been abandoned like this.
He watched Song Lili leave, both amused and exasperated, before taking his things and turning to go home. However, his belongings were too scattered and difficult to carry.
But what could he do? Even so, he still found the girl he liked adorable, and he still liked her.
Speaking of liking someone, I suddenly remembered that Lili has already agreed to get engaged. I should hurry up and tell Dada so that he can find a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Thinking this, Zhang Qinghua hurriedly ran away, leaving Xia Jun alone, looking confused. What happened to these two?
Song Lili ran all the way home, stopped here, and calmed down for a while.
She sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), her mind filled with countless thoughts, but in the end, only what she wanted to hold onto remained.
So, the reason Luo Juan hasn't bothered her lately is because she knows about the mass movement and is preparing for it, so she doesn't have time to bother her.
Song Lili felt she had figured out the truth; it might really be true.
Considering that Luo Juan is leaving, it's all beneficial and without any harm.
First, Song Lili doesn't need to worry that Song Jianguo will be unable to resist Luo Juan's instigation and will once again follow her to join the revolution.
Secondly, she has plenty of time to clean up the disgusting things happening at home.
Third, and most importantly, while Luo Juan is not stirring things up, we need to take care of those troublesome kids in the village.
Fourth, discuss with Zhang Shengtian and Li Weiguo how to deal with what happens next.
Because Luo Juan's return signifies that the revolution has reached its peak, but it is also the time when countless tragedies will occur.
What can they do to prevent such a tragedy from happening to them?
Therefore, she wholeheartedly supported Luo Juan's departure and wished she could send Luo Juan off with great fanfare.
As for Luo Juan becoming even more formidable after leaving, Song Lili is not afraid. No matter how powerful Luo Juan is, as long as she has something she cares about, she can protect herself.
With the money Qian Liulin had given her, Song Lili went to visit the elderly people. She didn't need to do anything now; she just needed to wait for Luo Juan to leave.
If she remembered correctly, the meeting was in August. Luo Juan didn't have much time left; soon, she wouldn't have to see him in Hongqi Village anymore.
"Grandma Zhao, what are you doing outside? Aren't you cold?" It's a bit chilly on rainy days.
"It's not cold at all. I just came out and was thinking of heating the kang (heated brick bed) up a bit so it would be more comfortable to sit on, right?" Zhao Qian smiled broadly as soon as he saw Song Lili.
"Grandma Zhao, come inside. I'll cook something for you, and I'll make sure it's hot for you." Song Lili pushed Zhao into the house.
"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Go ahead and take a look. I'm going inside." Zhao Qian obediently went inside, and Song Lili turned around to heat the kang (a heated brick bed).
She added some hay and pressed down some loose grass so that it would stay warm longer and not waste any grass.
After everything was settled, he went inside to talk to the elderly people.
"Come on up and sit down. This kang (heated brick bed) is so warm and cozy, it really is comfortable. It's even more comfortable on a rainy day like this, it makes me feel like I don't want to leave," Qian Xianming said with a smile.
"It's pretty good," Zhao Qian agreed.
"Hmph, that's because you guys aren't healthy. I don't need to. I always feel unbearably hot and feverish," Li Zhiyuan said in a muffled voice.
Song Lili found it amusing. Among the elderly people, Li Zhiyuan was probably in the best health, so he was the least dependent on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).
The other three weren't so carefree; when it got cold, they wanted to get warmer, so they lit the kang (a heated brick bed).
“We’re not like you, all brawn and no brains.” Wu Zhongge retorted angrily, which immediately made Li Zhiyuan glare at him with a huff, “You’re the one who’s simple-minded.”
"Do you think I'm simple-minded?" Wu Zhongge looked at Li Zhiyuan with disdain, which made Li Zhiyuan's face turn red with anger.
"Alright, alright, gentlemen, I've come to give you money today," Song Lili quickly interrupted.
Watching the excitement is fine, but it wouldn't be good if the two elderly people started fighting.
One of them has a quick temper and speaks bluntly, while the other is straightforward and doesn't mince words. They often start arguing after only a few words.
However, Song Lili was still worried that they might actually fight, so it was better to nip the problem in the bud as soon as possible.
"You went to town again?" Wu Zhongge reacted quickly and asked immediately.
"Yes, I just got back. This is what Brother Qian asked me to give you." Song Lili took out the money that Qian Liulin had given her.
Qian Xianming took the money and said, "Oh, I feel bad for this child. Lili, when you go to town again, just tell them not to give us any more money. We don't need it here."
"Let him keep the money for himself and treat himself better. He doesn't need to worry about us old folks. We still have the money he sent last time."
Song Lili nodded, "I will tell Brother Qian. But Brother Qian means well. Having money in hand makes you feel less anxious, right?"
"He also wanted you to have a better life," Song Lili said with emotion. The elderly people were only able to live here because of Qian Liulin's care.
“We know, but we don’t need it. Let him use it himself,” Li Zhiyuan said.
"If he really wants to give it, he should give us some tickets; that's better than giving us money," Wu Zhongge sighed in the end.
Zhao Qian nodded in agreement. "Old Wu is right. Give us the tickets. They're a good deal, and we're in need of them too."
