As the days passed by, and the temperature dropped, people became less and less active.
Many people would rather stay at home than go out. In this season when ears can freeze off, everyone is instinctively protecting themselves.
Of course, some people do the opposite, going out in such cold weather, just for a bite to eat.
While Song Lili was worried about Wang Daming not coming back, unexpectedly he showed up with his things, all smiles and eagerness.
"Lili, I'm here! Have you made the delicious food yet?" Wang Daming shouted loudly before he even entered the door.
"I have to say, you're really something else to do this. You actually came out in this freezing weather. I really admire you." Song Lili looked speechlessly at Wang Daming, whose nose and ears were all red from the cold.
Wang Daming sniffed his nose, which was a little stiff from the cold, and his smile was also a little stiff. "Hehe, I just had nothing to do today, so I came to see you guys."
As Wang Daming spoke, he stuffed the things he had brought into Song Jianshe's arms and went straight into the house to cultivate his relationship with Song Yongren.
In his own words, he wanted to build a good relationship with the head of the household so that he could come over for meals more often in the future.
Therefore, every time Wang Daming came, he would chat with Song Yongren for a long time in a warm and friendly manner.
Song Lili ignored Wang Daming's crazy behavior and followed him inside, saying, "I thought you weren't coming today."
"How could that be? You said you wanted me to come for dinner today, so of course I'm coming. You don't know, I've been starving lately. If I don't come here to improve my diet, I'm afraid I'll starve to death," Wang Daming said pitifully.
Song Lili rolled her eyes. "Tch, I'd never reply to what you're saying. You're just ungrateful. Do you know how many people envy your life right now?"
"I think you've had too many good days and have too much free time. Ask my boss if you're just looking for trouble."
Wang Daming seemed stunned by Song Lili's words. He stared blankly at Song Yongren and asked, "Uncle, is that really true?"
Song Yongren sighed, "Yes, so many people envy you. I don't know about others, but in Hongqi Village, there isn't a single person who doesn't envy you."
"So, child, it really is just like Lili said, you don't know how lucky you are."
Song Yongren thought to himself that if it were a few years ago, he would probably have envied Wang Daming's life.
I envy him for having a government job, for being able to eat out more often, and for being able to support himself without having to endure wind and rain.
So, I think about how things will get better every day.
Now that his family's life is better, Song Yongren no longer feels so envious, but he still sighs in his heart, "This child is really lucky."
After all, it's a secure job, a lifelong commitment.
"Huh? Is that really true? But I think the food in the state-run restaurants is terrible. I'm tired of eating it every day." Wang Daming looked at Song Yongren with a blank expression.
Song Lili couldn't help but sigh; this was all due to their different living environments.
To Wang Daming's family, all of whom are employed, this kind of life is quite ordinary and commonplace, so they simply can't understand what there is to envy about it.
But from Song Yongren's perspective, who has spent his entire life toiling in the fields, having a job like Wang Daming's is a blessing from heaven, something only auspicious signs could come from one's ancestors' graves. Of course, he would envy him from the bottom of his heart.
This is why there are differences in people's perceptions.
Song Lili sighed again, "Alright, you guys sit down, I'll go make you something to eat." It's only about 10:30 in the morning, there's still time.
Now that Wang Daming is here, let's give him a proper makeover.
"Lili, I'll go help you," Xia Niu quickly said, following Song Lili to the kitchen.
Song Fang hadn't originally planned to move, but she eventually got bored because she couldn't join in the conversations between the men.
So, I could only jump off the kang (a heated brick bed) and go to the kitchen, even if I didn't help, I could still talk to my sister.
Song Lili first went to her private plot, picked some vegetables from the greenhouse, and then went home.
She still had some meat left from the meat she bought a few days ago, so she planned to cook it all today. In addition, Wang Daming brought some meat himself today, so they could make a whole table of fancy dishes.
Finally, Song Lili decided to make sweet and sour pork, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried green peppers with pork, Mapo tofu, and also make a soup and steam a pot of rice, which would be enough for them.
She took out all the meat that Wang Daming had brought and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were also spare ribs. She immediately decided to add braised spare ribs.
Thinking of all those delicious foods, Song Lili felt her mouth watering, and she couldn't help but slurp.
Then, full of energy, I started cutting meat and chopping ribs, getting busy.
Xia Niu herself wasn't good at cooking these dishes, so she could only let Song Lili watch over them, let you add firewood, and occasionally say a few words.
By noon, a large table of dishes was ready, and Song Lili carried a plate of food inside, saying, "Time to eat."
"Here you are!" Wang Daming jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and drooled as he looked at the dishes Song Lili had placed on the table.
"Lili, the food you made today smells so good, it looks delicious." She said, sniffing the air.
Song Lili gave him amusement. "Isn't this to welcome you? Besides, you brought a lot of these things. I'm just passing on what you've got." So, the cost is ultimately borne by the customer.
Wang Daming didn't care where the ingredients came from; he only had one thought: to finish all the dishes.
However, although Wang Daming was eager, he was very polite. He first asked Song Yongren to sit down before sitting down and drooling.
After all the dishes and rice were served, everyone started eating.
Wang Daming couldn't help but exclaim, "On a snowy day, you should eat something like this—it's so satisfying, and you should stay home and enjoy delicious food."
Song Lili retorted, "Hmph, I think you're the only one who thinks that way. Everyone else would rather stay at home."
Zhang Qinghua is nothing like you, who walked such a long way and carried so much stuff just for a bite to eat. Don't you think it's not worth it?
Song Lili felt that no normal person would do what Wang Daming did, braving the wind and snow just to eat something delicious.
Otherwise, that person must have something wrong with their head.
Meanwhile, Wang Daming, whom Song Lili thought had mental problems, was happily eating what he liked. On the other hand, two other people who also seemed to have mental problems stood facing each other under the eaves of a house in town, wrapped tightly in their cotton-padded coats and shivering.
"Hmph, I didn't expect Song Lili to be so lucky, she escaped both times."
