Once home, Song Lili began to think about what she should do next.
After much thought, she realized that cooking didn't require a large investment and was something she could do right now.
So she decided to start with food and make other plans once she had enough capital.
However, she hadn't decided what to do yet.
A few days later, Qian Liulin came again, this time to invite Song Lili to dinner.
"The elderly folks couldn't wait any longer, so they asked me to pick you up today. They said they really want to have a good meal with you and have a good talk with you."
"They said they haven't seen you for over a year and they miss you terribly." Qian Liulin couldn't help but laugh when he recalled their angry and glaring expressions.
Li Zhiyuan, in particular, was practically slamming his fist on the table.
Therefore, Song Lili has to go along today.
Song Lili also found it funny. "Alright, let's go today then."
She had been planning to go there in the next few days, and since someone had already come to pick her up, she might as well go.
Song Lili asked Qian Liulin to wait a moment, then went to the kitchen, took out the dried wild vegetables she had brought from home, and put them in a large bag.
She originally planned to go with Zhang Qinghua, while Zhang Qingguo would stay home to take care of the children.
Unexpectedly, Qian Liulin said, "Go, all of you go together."
"This... let's forget it. The child is too young and too noisy. Let Qingguo stay home and look after him."
I was originally going to visit someone, but it wouldn't be good to go too many times.
That would look too ugly.
But Qian Liulin said, "This time you have no choice. They said they must bring the child too, saying they miss Xiaochen."
"And your little one, they haven't met him yet, so they should meet him too."
“I made it clear before I left home that the children had to come, and not one of them could be missing, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come home.”
"The grandparents are really something." Song Lili listened with a mixture of helplessness and amusement. They really were capable of doing something like this.
"Okay, but the kids are quite noisy. I'll see if they get angry or happy in a bit."
She insisted on bringing the child, so she had no choice but to let the child go with Zhang Qingguo.
We can't just leave Zhang Qingguo alone at home, can we?
Qian Liulin took Song Lili and the others to a restaurant before explaining, "I was originally planning to invite you to my home for dinner."
"But who would have thought that none of them would give in to the others, and they all wanted to invite you to dinner as soon as possible. Since they couldn't agree on a time, they could only find you to eat outside."
"Pfft..."
Song Lili really wanted to hold back, but she just couldn't help it. These elderly people were just too adorable!
This...it's so cute, I never noticed it before.
However, it's probably because I'm living a comfortable life now.
Song Lili smiled and led Zhang Qinghua and the children into the restaurant.
They wanted a private room, which looked spacious and was quite clean.
Song Lili was surprised. So, such private places already existed at this time?
"Let's sit for a while, they should be here soon," Qian Liulin said as he poured water for everyone.
When he left home, several elderly people went to prepare, and judging by the time, he should be arriving soon.
"It's okay, we can just wait." Anyway, she's free now, so waiting a little longer won't hurt.
"By the way, you didn't know this was Lin Mu's restaurant, did you? He opened it after he came back. What do you think? Not bad, right?"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Qian Liulin dropped a bombshell on Song Lili.
"Grandpa Lin's?" Song Lili's eyes widened in surprise; she never expected this.
I only knew Lin Mu was a chef before, I never expected him to have such a good business sense.
Song Lili looked around and saw that the restaurant was well-managed and seemed to be doing quite well.
"Yes, he did it as soon as he got back, so what?"
Seeing Song Lili's surprised expression, Qian Liulin asked happily.
"That's great." Song Lili couldn't help but nod, her surprise still welling up inside her.
Not to mention Song Lili, even the Zhang brothers, Qinghua and Zhang Qinghua, were quite surprised, looking at the private room with curiosity and delight.
Or rather, it's like looking at the entire restaurant through this private room.
"It's really good." Song Lili couldn't help but exclaim.
However, I also understood why there were such secluded private rooms.
Back when they lived in Hongqi Village, Song Lili had complained about the restaurants nowadays, saying they were noisy and lacked any privacy. So she casually remarked that it would be nice to have a private room.
Unexpectedly, after Lin Mu returned to the capital, he actually started doing it, and Song Lili had to admire him.
“They didn’t feel comfortable going anywhere else, so they thought of coming directly to Uncle Lin’s place. You know him, so it’s a good opportunity for you to meet him.”
Song Lili found Qian Liulin's way of addressing her amusing, but at the same time, she felt that it seemed reasonable.
Given Qian Liulin's age, calling Linmu "Grandpa" is indeed somewhat inappropriate.
However, she calls Qian Liulin "Big Brother" and Lin Mu "Grandpa," while Qian Liulin calls Lin Mu "Uncle," making the generational order quite confusing.
Thinking about how Xiao Chen called them grandpa and grandma, Song Lili felt relieved. Oh well, let it be.
Anyway, it's definitely impossible to change it now.
"That's true. I haven't seen Grandpa Lin and the others for over a year. It would be good to see them. I've missed them too."
She had originally planned to meet these people after seeing Zhao Qian and the others, but since they had run into each other now, she might as well meet them together.
"Hehe..." Suddenly, Qian Liulin laughed out loud, and Song Lili looked over in confusion.
"My name is Uncle Lin, and yours is Grandpa Lin. Do you think we're from different generations? Or should you start calling me Uncle?"
Qian Liulin also noticed the issue with how the two addressed each other.
Song Lili couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't brought up the issue of how to address each other, but Qian Liulin had brought it up himself.
"Let's forget it. I'm used to calling you that. I've been doing it for over ten years. It's really hard for you to ask me to change it."
"Let's just call it that. Anyway, we'll each talk our own thing and not interfere with each other."
Qian Liulin was just saying that; he didn't really mean to ask Song Lili to change her mind.
Therefore, after Song Lili said that, he smiled and nodded, "That's right, once you get used to it, it's hard to change it."
He really didn't know that Song Lili called Lin Mu "Grandpa".
Previously, he had never appeared in front of the elderly at the same time as Song Lili, and he rarely visited the elderly.
So this was the first time I heard Song Lili address them.
But to his surprise, the first time he heard it, he was utterly astonished.
However, they quickly calmed down; it's just a form of address, there's no need to take it too seriously.
