Now that the topic had come up, Song Lili couldn't help but ask Zhang Qinghua about Zhang Shengtian's decision.
Zhang Qinghua shook his head. "The boss didn't tell me, so I don't know either." However, Zhang Qinghua had his own guesses.
"Do you think the big boss will come with us?" Song Lili asked.
Some people just feel reluctant to leave their homeland and don't want to leave familiar places.
Therefore, Song Lili really had no idea what Zhang Shengtian would decide.
"I estimate the possibility is rather small," Zhang Qinghua said quietly.
"Why?" Song Lili didn't understand. Wouldn't it be better for the whole family to go together? That would be normal.
After all, separating them into two groups doesn't work either way.
"The leader has his own considerations. This time, it seems that only the three of us and the two children will be leaving," Zhang Qinghua said confidently.
He understood Zhang Shengtian and knew what he was thinking.
"Then you should try to persuade them," Song Lili said anxiously.
I think it's a great idea for the whole family to go together.
Zhang Qinghua shook his head. "Let's listen to Da Da. He's made the arrangements, so we'll go with him."
Now, Zhang Shengtian definitely can't let go of Hongqi Village; he'd be reluctant to leave.
"You mean, Da Da might go there in the future, but not this time?" Song Lili asked uncertainly.
Zhang Qinghua nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he meant.
Song Lili sighed, but she also understood that Zhang Qinghua was right. She couldn't force Zhang Shengtian, nor could she make decisions for him.
So, let's respect him.
Sure enough, a few days later, Zhang Shengtian announced his decision, which was exactly as Zhang Qinghua had guessed.
"I won't go with you. I'll stay home and farm. You go ahead."
"I've lived in Hongqi Village for so many years, and I'd be reluctant to leave. Besides, what would happen to the land back home if I left?"
For farmers, land is always the most important thing, and something they can never let go of.
“Well…we’re all leaving, how can we leave you alone at home?” Song Lili couldn’t help but ask.
The three of them were leaving the house. She and Zhang Qinghua were taking their two children, while Zhang Qingguo was taking Lin Xue and their child, leaving Zhang Shengtian alone.
"It's alright, it's alright. I'm not so old that I can't move, so I'm fine on my own." Zhang Shengtian waved his hand, not caring about the problem.
At this moment, Lin Xue also spoke up, "Big brother, sister-in-law, I... I won't go either." Her voice was soft.
"You're not going either?" Song Lili was surprised, never expecting Lin Xue to make such a decision.
Wasn't Lin Xue very interested when she mentioned it last time? So why did she suddenly make this decision?
Lin Xue nodded, "Yes, I won't go either. I plan to stay at home with the child until you're settled."
“If you go now, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. As for me, I will only cause more trouble, so I won’t go.”
"Once you're more familiar with the area, I'll bring the kids over with me to help you."
This was a decision made after the couple discussed it together.
"you……"
Song Lili didn't know what to say at this moment.
Lin Xue's sudden decision was both expected and unexpected.
It seemed she could have guessed that Lin Xue would make such a decision, but she was still somewhat surprised when she actually heard it.
That's why she behaved this way.
Song Lili suppressed her surprise, closed her eyes, and then said, "Since you've made your decision, then so be it."
She just wanted the whole family to go together, but she didn't want to force anyone.
Lin Xue is right. We've just arrived in the capital. We're unfamiliar with everything, it's pitch black, and we need time to get used to things.
It's good that they come later; by then, the capital will be stable, making it easier for them to arrive.
Neither Zhang Qinghua nor Zhang Qingguo spoke; both of them could guess what decision Zhang Shengtian would make.
So, they all accepted it calmly at this moment.
With the family making a decision, it's time for me to get started.
If Zhang Shengtian, Lin Xue, and Xiao Zhe don't go, they will continue to live as before.
Song Lili and the other two had already started packing their luggage, preparing to leave in a few days.
The Lunar New Year has already passed and it's already February in the Gregorian calendar. There's not much time left before school starts in March.
They also planned to go to the capital sooner; if they didn't pack up now, it would be too late.
Before leaving, Song Lili called Qian Liulin and asked him to find them a place to stay in the capital.
If possible, find a place to rent so that it can serve as their temporary home in the future.
On weekends, the three of them can chat at home and have a nice meal together.
Upon hearing this, Qian Liulin immediately agreed.
This was not a difficult task to begin with.
With Qian Liulin's help, Song Lili was in no hurry. After packing up, she went to the Fifth Brigade and told Song Yongren when she was leaving.
Then, he talked with Song Fang for a while, giving her some instructions. Only then did he leave.
At home, Zhang Shengtian took out all the money he had saved over the years. "This is the money I've saved over the years. Take it and use it on your journey."
As he spoke, he placed a neatly folded old handkerchief on the table. Judging by its thickness, it must have contained a considerable amount of money.
Neither Zhang Qinghua nor his brother spoke. Song Lili looked at the two of them before she spoke.
"Let Qingguo keep this money. Qinghua and I have enough money, we don't need it."
She had been consciously saving money for a long time and had already saved enough, and was even quite well-off, so she didn't need Zhang Shengtian's money.
Zhang Qingguo quickly shook his head, "I don't need it either. I have my own money, and it's enough for me."
Over the years, he kept all the money from selling the vegetables from his family's private plot; he never gave any away, so he saved it all.
Although it's not much, if you save it, it'll be enough.
Lin Xue nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Qing Kingdom doesn't need it either. We've saved up some money over the years, enough for us."
The Zhang family is rather strange; they don't have a single person in charge of managing their finances. Whoever has the money in their hands owns it.
If they're all gone, ask someone else for them.
However, they are not extravagant people; they save money unless it is absolutely necessary.
So, over the years, everyone has accumulated a considerable amount of income.
Song Lili couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
She thought to herself that over the years, she had probably received the most and spent the most.
If she hadn't known early on that she needed to save money to look good, she probably wouldn't have been able to come up with this amount of money right now.
Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed, embarrassed, and guilty.
Compared to other family members, she's probably a spendthrift, isn't she?
