This made Song Lili feel both sweet and distressed; she was about to become a useless person.
"Isn't that good? It's better to have someone care than to be ignored, right?" Song Fang smiled as she looked at Song Lili's sweet yet troubled expression.
"That's true." Song Lili nodded, agreeing with Song Fang. No matter what, it's always good to have someone who cares.
Speaking of caring, she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten or neglected.
His gaze was fixed on Song Fang, scrutinizing her with a look of inquiry.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Song Fang felt uneasy under Song Lili's gaze. Why did she feel like her sister was dissecting her and studying her?
"You've been getting quite close to Chu Ci lately? When did you become so familiar?"
She suddenly remembered. The day she had a stomachache, Chu Ci had been a kind and caring person, comforting Fangfang.
He's already holding her arm. When did they become so familiar? How come she had no idea?

Song Fang's face flushed bright red instantly, and she glared at Song Lili with embarrassment, "Sister, what... what nonsense are you talking about?"
Song Lili could tell something was wrong at a glance. "Tell me, when did this happen?"
Just by looking at Song Fang, you can tell that she is experiencing the first stirrings of love, the look of a young girl in the throes of first love.
In her heart, she couldn't help but curse Chu Ci again: "You dared to provoke my sister while I was away!"
"No...we're fine." Song Fang lowered her head shyly. "It's just...it's just that he's been contacting me a lot lately, and we get along quite well."
He's been looking for Fangfang? Looks like this guy has ulterior motives.
"So what do you think?" Song Lili didn't express her opinion immediately, but instead asked Song Fang for her thoughts.
Although Song Fang was shy, she still mustered up her courage to look up and meet Song Lili's gaze. "I...I won't refuse. I'll let nature take its course."
Neither reject nor accept; let everything take its natural course.
If they are truly meant to be, they will be together; if they are not, no amount of thought will help.
Song Lili nodded. It wasn't unreasonable to have such an idea. Fangfang was already sixteen years old, which was the age for engagement in the countryside. It wouldn't be a problem for her to date.
However, there are some things she still needs to remind you of.
"Fangfang, you need to think this through. Chu Ci is an educated youth from the city. Nobody knows how long he can stay here or when he will go back."
"What if he goes back to the city one day? What will you do then? Go with him? But... what if he goes back alone?"
When the educated youth were able to return to the city, anything could happen; it wasn't unheard of for them to abandon their wives and children.
Therefore, Song Lili needs Song Fang to think carefully about whether she can bear these consequences.
Song Fang remained silent. She hadn't thought about this issue before, but now that Song Lili had pointed it out so incisively, her heart skipped a beat, and she began to ponder.
Song Lili did not disturb Song Fang. Fangfang was insightful and saw things very clearly. She was also calmer than others.
Some people might see this as indifference, but Song Lili thinks it's fine.
The calmer a person is, the less likely they are to make mistakes and the more likely they are to make the right choices.
She waited for Fangfang to give her her choice.
After a long while, Song Fang finally raised her head and said, "Sister, I still stand by my original opinion."
Song Lili knew that Song Fang had also developed feelings for Chu Ci and was now interested in him.
She nodded. "Since you've made your decision, I have nothing more to say."
"However, I must remind you that you are still young. I fully support you in dating, but you need to be mindful of other things."
"Girls, you must protect yourselves. There are things you shouldn't do or things that are inappropriate for you. You absolutely must not break any rules."
"You absolutely cannot have any intimate physical contact with him before you turn eighteen, understand?"
Even when you're in a relationship, you need to make your own choices and never lose yourself, understand?
Chu Ci is not a bad person, and his character is quite good. Since Fangfang has made her decision, she has nothing to object to.
Besides, it will be several years before the educated youth return to the city, and several years before Song Fang comes of age, so she's not in a hurry.
All she needed to do was tell Fangfang to protect herself and stick to her principles.
Let the two of them get to know each other. If it's good, Fangfang will find a home. If it's bad, she won't lose anything.
Song Lili is from a later era. No matter how she tries to hide it, her thinking is still much more advanced. Some of her words are simply unbelievable to people today, or rather... shameless.
Just like now, Song Fang's face turned bright red, and she didn't know where to look.
"Sister, how could you... say such a thing?" Even if Song Fang was very perceptive, she was still a girl and could feel shy.
"Why can't we say it? It's a perfectly normal thing. What's wrong with saying it?"
"Besides, some people are capable of doing these things. Why can they do them, but I can't say anything?"
"I'm telling you this so you understand that there are some things you absolutely cannot do. That's the bottom line, understand?"
Although she spoke subtly, Fangfang understood, and Song Fang truly did understand.
She blushed and nodded. "I...I understand. I won't do anything I shouldn't do."
Finally, she asked curiously, "Sister, you...you don't object? Don't you think this is wrong?"
Many people go through a matchmaker who comes to their door to propose marriage, and then the family inquires about the other person's character. If it's good, then the marriage is arranged.
No one ever talks about dating.
Therefore, Song Fang was extremely surprised when Song Lili mentioned dating.
Song Lili raised an eyebrow. "Of course I don't object. I agree. Only by getting to know someone can you know if they're worth it."
"If this person isn't worth it, you can get out of there early to avoid wasting your life. Isn't that a good thing? Why would I object?"
As for Song Lili herself, she still supports getting to know each other first, so that she can have a better understanding of the situation.
Although some things are not obvious, others are, aren't they?
"Sister, you're so kind." Song Fang rushed to Song Lili's side, looking at her with bright eyes.
When her sister first brought it up, she felt a pang of fear, but she never expected it to end like this.
Not only did she not object, but she was also very supportive, which made Song Fang extremely happy.
In that instant, I felt that my sister was the best person in the world, the one who understood me the most.
Therefore, she would confide in Song Lili about her relationship with Chu Ci, which indirectly gave Song Lili a better understanding of Chu Ci.
Of course, he also gave Song Fang bad advice, and in the end, he turned Chu Ci into a model of filial piety.
All of these were done by Song Lili; her contribution is indispensable.
When Chu Ci found out, he could only accept it with tears in his eyes. He couldn't afford to offend his sister-in-law, since his wife was watching over him.
