After finishing her meal, Song Lili leaned back contentedly, half-reclined on the chair, which they had made themselves.
"Ah, so delicious! I'm so full!" She never expected that Lin Mu would make noodles with soybean paste and chive pancakes this time.
She hadn't eaten these two things in a long time, and when she saw them, she couldn't take her eyes off them.
Under Lin Mu's teasing gaze, I ate a huge bowl of noodles with soybean paste and several leek dumplings, and I was stuffed.
"Who told you to eat so much? I'll make it for you again if you want it next time," Lin Mu said irritably.
Eating too much will make you feel better, but it's also bad for your stomach.
Song Lili lazily pouted, "I don't know if I'll have this opportunity again. If you go back, I won't be able to find anywhere to eat here."
Zhao Qian and the others have all left, and next up are these few people.
"Leave? Will we?" Huang Zhen muttered to himself, seemingly having no hope of leaving.
"Yes, Lao Wu and the others were able to leave because they had their own jobs to do. As for us? We probably won't have a chance."
Even now, many people still grit their teeth when talking about capitalism.
So, is it even possible to go back like this?
"Of course we will, you can't stay here forever, can you?"
Once it's all over, anyone can go back.
“It’s nice here too, with beautiful mountains and rivers, it’s like people have been purified.” Zhong Hu, who had a bad temper, suddenly said.
"Ugh, the stench is unbearable." Mu Shaohua scoffed.
"Ugh, the stench of money," Zhong Hu retorted.
Huang Zhen sighed helplessly, "You two have been together for so many years, how come you're still like this?"
How can two people who look down on a businessman's shrewdness and a scholar's aloofness become friends?
Song Lili was both amused and exasperated. These two argued all the time, yet they were the closest of friends.
It's a strange combination.
"Lili, do you think... the weather is about to change?" Huang Zhen looked at Song Lili with a distant gaze, as if he was thinking about something.
Song Lili looked up at the sky and said, "It seems so."
It's a double entendre, and I believe Huang Zhen will understand.
They were all businessmen with keen intuition, and the successive departures of Zhao Qian and the others had already made them sense something unusual.
It's just that I can't believe it.
Huang Zhen gave Song Lili, who had looked up, a deep look, unsure whether it was intentional or unintentional.
However, whether it was intentional or unintentional, as long as the answer is yes, that's fine.
This is the hottest time of the year.
When Song Lili arrived home, she was covered in sweat. Apart from Lin Xue, there was no one else at home.
With three children, she couldn't take care of them all by herself, so Lin Xue didn't work in the fields. Neither of them touched the crops during this year's autumn harvest.
"Sister-in-law is back? Hurry up and check on your son, he's crying so hard, nothing we do can soothe him."
Lin Xue, holding Zhang Hui's baby who was only a few months old, said helplessly to Song Lili.
This child, I don't know if he recognizes people, cries whenever Song Lili isn't around.
As long as Song Lili is around, even if he's watching from afar, he can have a great time on his own.
The whole family could only feel helpless about this.
"Crying again?" Song Lili wasn't surprised at all. "He's clearly a boy, so why is he crying like a girl?"
"Could it be that when she was in my belly, she talked too much and her personality became like a girl's?"
Otherwise, how do we explain the current situation?
"Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? What did a child like you know back then?" Lin Xue looked at Song Lili with amusement.
Song Lili pouted, "Okay, I don't want to explain."
Then don't tell Lin Xue that the baby can sense the outside world and hear its sounds while in the womb.
"Fine, give him to me."
Upon hearing Song Lili's voice, the little boy, who had stopped crying, entered Song Lili's arms and tightly gripped her clothes, as if afraid that she would disappear again.
Song Lili blew on the little dumpling, both amused and exasperated. "You're quite capable, aren't you?" She thought. "You're so young, and you already know all this?"
Now, with this little one in her arms, there's nothing she can do.
Every day, all I do is look after the kids, look after the kids, and look after the kids again—I'm a total stay-at-home mom.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to cook for the two older kids. Keep an eye on them while I cook," Lin Xue called out from the yard.
"Okay," Song Lili replied, then called to the two children playing outside, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhe, come in and see your little brother."
The gate is open; it's safer to have the child in front of me.
"Mom, why is my little brother always crying?" Xiao Chen asked.
Since his younger brother was born, he's become a walking encyclopedia of questions.
“He cries because his little brother is uncomfortable or unhappy,” Song Lili said as she put the little bun down.
"Then why didn't he say so?" Xiao Zhe asked curiously.
"Hmm... he can't talk yet. Once he can talk, he'll stop crying." It's not that easy.
At that time, I'm afraid I'll cry even harder.
"My little brother isn't as good as me, I can talk a lot." Xiao Zhe tilted his head back, looking like he wanted praise.
Song Lili patted his head with amusement, "Yes, Xiao Zhe is very capable. You are the older brother, of course you are capable."
"I won't hit my brother anymore," Xiao Zhe suddenly said out of the blue.
Song Lili "..."
Just because you're powerful doesn't mean you can beat your younger brother. But that's not right either.
"How could you say that?" They never taught their child to hit his younger brother.
“Dog Egg beats his younger brother every day, but I don’t. I’m a good older brother. He’s a bad kid who even steals cucumbers.”
"Stealing cucumbers?" Song Lili didn't pay much attention to what was said before. After all, he was just a kid, and all he could see was what was in front of him.
But what about the later part, the theft?
"Yeah, he took my brother to Xiaohua's house to steal cucumbers, and he even took me with him, but I didn't go." As he spoke, Xiao Zhe pouted, looking unhappy.
"I have cucumbers at home, even if I don't steal them, I'll still have some." He added this arrogantly at the end.
Song Lili was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
So you didn't go because you thought there was something at home and there was no need to steal it?
However, stealing is not a good habit, and we must seriously tell children this.
She put down what she was holding and looked at Xiao Zhe with a serious expression. "Xiao Zhe did very well this time. Stealing is bad for kids, you know?"
"If you want something, just tell your family. But you can't steal it, understand?"
Stealing can be a habit; some people can control themselves and just treat it as childhood mischief.
But some people, once they've made a habit of stealing, can never change it.
She didn't want her children, nor did she want the children in her family to end up like that, so stealing had to be stopped.
"Also, Xiao Chen, you must remember that stealing is wrong. If you need something, tell Grandma and Grandpa, and we will give it to you, but you must never steal it."
Whether they have the ability to meet the child's demands is another matter, but they should never allow the child to get something for nothing.
