I've already achieved my purpose for coming here, and I've met and gotten to know my roommates, so there's no need for me to stay here any longer.
Let's go home.
"Okay, since your family is waiting, let's go back quickly." Wang Mei pinched Xiao Hui's cheek again.
“I’ll go down with you.” Fan Lijuan also stood up.
Song Lili nodded. What else could she say? Could she say no?
She doesn't walk this road alone; what right does she have to demand that others not walk with her?
When someone says that, it's just out of politeness.
The two of them had just come downstairs when they saw Zhang Qingguo holding Xiao Chen's hand, standing downstairs.
Song Lili walked over and asked, "When did you arrive?"
Zhang Qingguo picked up Xiao Hui and then answered, "You came out as soon as you put down your luggage and have been waiting for a while?"
He was afraid that Song Lili would come out early, so he put down his luggage, said goodbye to the other girls in the dormitory, and then came out.
"Song Lili, is this your husband?" Fan Lijuan, who was standing next to her, suddenly asked.
Song Lili then remembered that there was another person beside her, and quickly introduced him to Zhang Qingguo.
“This is my roommate, Fan Lijuan.” Then, he introduced Fan Lijuan, “This is my husband, Zhang Qingguo, and that is my son, Zhang Chen.”
"Hello," Zhang Qingguo glanced at Fan Lijuan and nodded politely.
"Hello," Fan Lijuan said, though she seemed a little excited.
"Then we'll be going now."
Song Lili didn't want to say any more, so she said goodbye and left with Zhang Qingguo and the child.
So she didn't hear Fan Lijuan muttering softly behind her, "I never thought there would be such a handsome man in a mountain village."
Moreover, it seems that he treats Song Lili quite well.
Song Lili had no idea that there was a short 9 at the end.
After she and Zhang Qingguo returned home, they found that Zhang Qingguo had not yet come back.
"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it." She put the child down and looked at Zhang Qingguo.
“I’ll help you,” Zhang Qingguo said, turning around.
Previously, when they were at home, Zhang Aiai helped at first, and later Lin Xue helped, so Zhang Qinghua never assisted Song Lili, only occasionally.
Now that they're out, Zhang Qingguo naturally wanted to do just that.
"Okay," Song Lili said without refusing.
I don't know where I heard it from, but it's said that the more capable a woman is, the less happy her life is.
Therefore, for their own happiness, they should make Zhang Qingguo do more work.
"Xiao Chen, don't take your little brother outside. Just play in the yard," Song Lili instructed.
An eight-year-old child is already quite sensible and understands some principles.
What's more, it's Xiao Chen, this rather quirky and mischievous boy.
"Okay, don't worry." Xiao Chen waved his hand, looking reassured that he was there for her.
Song Lili smiled and went into the kitchen.
The kitchen is stocked with fresh vegetables every day, all bought by Zhang Qinghua every morning – absolutely fresh.
Since arriving in the capital, Song Lili has rarely gotten up early, which sometimes makes her lament that she has become decadent.
"Let's have noodles today," Song Lili said, looking at the vegetables and deciding to make noodles with minced meat sauce.
Bok choy with noodles should be pretty good.
Zhang Qingguo had no objections and said, "I'll listen to you."
After the family finished eating, Zhang Qingguo still hadn't returned, so Song Lili prepared the noodles and left them for him.
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qingguo finally returned. "I'm exhausted." As soon as he got back, he collapsed onto the stone bench in the yard.
"Is everything packed?" Song Lili poured him a glass of water before asking.
Zhang Qingguo was different from the other two; he was going to live on campus, so he brought more luggage.
I brought all the bedding and other supplies, so it's normal to be tired.
"Everything's all packed up. I only came back when it was all done." Zhang Qingguo finished the water in the quilt in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then answered.
"That's good."
These past two days have been registration days, and classes will be in session for another day or two, so Zhang Qingguo went home.
"Now that you're back, Qingguo, could you please take the bedding over this afternoon?" She was worried about leaving the child at home.
Zhang Qinghua disagreed if she carried the luggage alone.
Now that Zhang Qingguo is back, the three of them can get it done in one trip.
"Okay." Zhang Qingguo nodded in agreement.
"The rice is still in the pot, and the sauce is hot too. Go and eat it yourself."
Song Lili didn't bring it to Zhang Qingguo. Ever since Zhang Qinghua told Zhang Qingguo to do things, she had made him do them himself.
"Okay, I'll eat first, I'm starving." Zhang Qingguo stood up and went to the kitchen.
If it weren't for the fact that food outside was too expensive and he couldn't bear to spend the money, Zhang Qingguo wouldn't have let himself go hungry.
Song Lili ignored Zhang Qingguo and went back to her room.
Inside the room, two children sat on the bed, playing with each other.
"Alright, take a nap. I'll take you to school this afternoon." Song Lili patted her son's head.
"Are we going to Grandma's dormitory?" Xiao Chen asked.
I went to Da Da's dormitory in the morning, and then I went to A Ma's dormitory in the afternoon.
Song Lili nodded, and then said to Xiao Chen, "Now that we're outside, don't call us 'Grandma' and 'Grandpa' anymore, call us 'Dad' and 'Mom'."
That's what we used to call it in Hongqi Village, so I felt there was something wrong with it.
Upon arriving in the capital, I encountered mostly familiar faces and didn't find anything amiss.
When Xiao Chen called out like that just now, Song Lili suddenly felt something was off, and then she realized that people outside didn't call out like that.
"Dad and Mom?" Xiao Chen repeated in confusion.
"Yes, haven't you noticed that's what everyone else calls it? When in Rome, do as the Romans do, so we call it that too."
The main concern is that if the child continues to behave the way he used to, he will be ridiculed by others, which would harm the child's mental health.
Therefore, it's best to correct it in advance, and avoid any foreseeable harm if possible.
Xiao Chen nodded, showing no opposition to the matter.
Earlier, when Zhao Qian was teaching him, he had said that people outside the family call their parents "Dad" and "Mom".
So changing your tune now isn't difficult.
Thinking about studying, Song Lili thought of another problem, one that she had always ignored.
Xiao Chen is already eight years old and should be starting elementary school soon.
So, shouldn't we make a plan? When the time comes, should we send Xiaochen to school?
"Xiao Chen, shall I take you to school?" The child is old enough to go to school.
"Okay." Xiao Chen nodded, agreeing quite naturally.
Song Lili couldn't help but pat his head. "Okay, when I get back tonight, I'll ask around about schools and get you into school as soon as possible."
I had forgotten about this before, and because I came to the capital, everything had to start anew, so I didn't have time to think about it.
Now that she's thought of it, she can't just ignore it, and besides, she doesn't want her child to stay at home like this.
At this time, you should go to school.
