Although she knew someone was doing it on purpose, Song Lili didn't intend to get involved; Zhang Qinghua was capable of handling the matter.
It's most likely the work of one of the Luo families next door. They've been looking down on them and causing trouble for the past few years.
Nothing major happened, but minor issues kept popping up every few days, which annoyed Song Lili so much that she stopped paying attention to them.
After she finished eating, she took Xiao Baozi to the edge of the village, a few hundred meters away, where the people Qian Liulin had asked her to look after lived.
"Mommy, are we going to see Grandpa and the others?" The little boy held Song Lili's hand and skipped along, kicking away at the pebbles on the road with a "whoosh" sound effect.
"Yes, Grandma Zhao misses you. Why don't you go see her?" Song Lili nodded and told him the reason without trying to fool him.
"Okay," the little boy nodded, not objecting at all. He really liked the grandpas and grandmas, who were all very kind to him.
Of course, his grandfather was also very good to him.
"Grandpa and Grandma, come out quickly, I've come to see you!" As soon as they reached the door, the little boy ran over and shouted.
His childish voice immediately echoed throughout the entire place, reaching the ears of everyone inside.
"Look who's here!" Lin Mu ran out laughing. He picked up the little dumpling and laughed heartily.
"Grandpa Lin," the little dumpling touched his prickly beard and happily called out to him.
"Oh, you still remember Grandpa Lin? Have you missed me? Have you missed me? If you miss me, there'll be something delicious for you." Lin Mu tempted him.
The little boy nodded quickly, his eyes sparkling. "I've thought about it, and I think it's delicious." Everything Grandpa Lin makes is delicious.
Song Lili couldn't help but curse the glutton, saying that he would steal away any delicious food from other people's homes in the future.
"Haha, do you want something delicious or me?" Lin Mu laughed heartily, seemingly becoming much younger.
Little Baozi wouldn't answer "I want to." Every time he did, it would involve a lot of complicated questions, and he wouldn't fall for it.
“You ask him that every time, he’s got experience now, no wonder he won’t fall for it.” Huang Zhen looked at Lin Mu with a wry smile.
Every time Xiaobaozi comes, he asks the same question. A child this age already has memories.
Lin Mu, however, never tired of it and always had a great time.
"I think he's just enjoying himself. He's itching to get his hands dirty, and he's just indulging in his fun while Xiao Chen is around," Zhao Qian couldn't help but laugh.
"Grandpa Huang's cooking is really delicious, I'm craving it too," Song Lili, who was following behind, couldn't help but say.
Lin Mu used to run a restaurant, and his cooking skills were excellent, no different from those in restaurants.
Three years after arriving in Hongqi Village, Song Lili learned that he was a chef, and sometimes she would ask him to teach her how to cook.
She still has a curiosity about cooking and is happy to learn.
The two got together, but it felt like they had known each other for a long time, so others got to enjoy the good fortune.
"Alright, since you're craving it, I'll go make it for you. You guys wait here, it's fresh vegetables, just picked from the field." Lin Mu went out with a smile.
After the group moved in together, Lin Mu did all the cooking; the others just had to hand over the food to him.
Everyone's gotten used to it, and nobody's offering to help.
Zhao Qian had long cherished holding the little boy in his arms, but because he was old and not strong enough, he put him on the kang (a heated brick bed), and the two snuggled together.
They were muttering to themselves, and no one knew what they were saying. The old man and the young man were speaking very seriously.
Song Lili ignored them and went to play with Mu Shaohua, listening to his past stories.
Mu Shaohua is in the antique business, which Song Lili found out a year ago. After finding out, her eyes almost sparkled with excitement. He's a rich man!
Huang Zhen is also quite remarkable; he runs a fabric business and is a wealthy man.
There's also Zhong Hu, who has a terrible temper, but is the head editor of the newspaper; and Gu Qin, who is sickly and whose family also runs a rouge business.
So these people are all rich, we have to curry favor with them.
After spending several years with them, Song Lili had a pretty good understanding of their backgrounds.
Zhao Qian and his group were probably the ones with power, while Mu Shaohua and his group were the ones with money.
No matter who it was, they were all people from the highest echelons of society. I never expected to run into them, and now they're determined to latch onto their coattails.
However, this was just her joking. Before she knew, things were still the same, weren't they?
"Girl, tell your son that he can't call us grandpa and grandma anymore, he has to call us great-grandpa and great-grandma."
“You call us grandpa and grandma, and your son calls us grandpa and grandma too. What’s the point of this?” Wu Zhongge ran over and said.
"Grandpa Wu, I've already told him, but he just won't listen. What can I do?"
I taught him when I brought him here as a child. He was probably too young then, and the words "great-grandfather" were too difficult to pronounce, so he just called me "grandfather" and "grandmother".
Later, when they grew up, she tried to correct them, but they wouldn't change and insisted on calling her that, so there was nothing she could do.
Sure enough, the meticulous Wu Zhongge couldn't stand it and insisted on correcting it, but the little bun wouldn't listen to him.
Every time, she would come over and complain to Song Lili.
But there was nothing she could do.
"Hmph, it must be because you didn't teach him well, otherwise how could he not learn? I'll have Old Zhao teach him, he'll definitely be able to teach him." Wu Zhongge snorted coldly, then turned and left.
Song Lili was both amused and exasperated. How... how did this become her fault?
She's like a child again, getting more childlike with age... and all her anger was directed at her.
She felt nothing but helplessness.
"Ha ha"
The tearful expression on her face made Mu Shaohua and Huang Zhen burst into laughter; it was hilarious.
Song Lili also found it funny and laughed along.
Being with them is becoming more and more natural; they're no different from a family.
"Never mind him, let's continue talking." Huang Zhen held onto Song Lili tightly.
Once I got to know her and trusted her, I stopped hiding things from her. When she asked out of curiosity, I told her.
Perfect, they need someone to listen to them too.
Finally, Song Lili and Xiao Baozi ate here and satisfied their cravings.
Looking at the spicy diced chicken, Mapo tofu, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, eggplant with garlic, and stir-fried greens on the table.
The red, green, and white colors are beautifully combined, and the aroma is enticing, making your mouth water even more.
"Wow..." Song Lili exclaimed. Although it was a home-style dish, it looked delicious. The staple food was also a kind of porridge.
"We're being watched, hurry up and eat, otherwise it'll get cold and won't taste good," Lin Mu said considerately.
"Delicious, delicious, eat... Mom, eat..." The little dumpling was so eager that he just reached out his hand, trying to get closer.
Song Lili glanced at him, then looked away, her eyes darting away, making the little boy almost cry.
"Alright, stop calling, I'll carry you over," Li Zhiyuan quickly said, afraid that the little darling would start crying.
The little boy finally stopped the urge to cry and looked at Li Zhiyuan pitifully.
