On this day, Song Lili decided what she needed to do for the next period of time before opening her eyes.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice how much time had passed.
After waiting for a long time, Qian Liulin finally came out of there in a hurry.
Upon seeing Song Lili, he apologized, "Lili, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've been very busy lately, I'm really sorry."
"Brother Qian, you're too kind. If anyone should feel embarrassed, it's me."
“I’m the one who disturbed your work, so should I apologize?” Song Lili asked Qian Liulin with a smile.
Qian Liulin chuckled, then pointed at Song Lili and shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go eat."
"Let's go then." Song Lili then walked outside.
They've known each other for over a decade, so there's really no need to say anything more.
Perhaps it was because of Qian Liulin's job that he was used to interacting with people this way, so he naturally told Song Lili what he said.
When Song Lili retorted, he realized he had made a mistake.
The two had a meal together, and Song Lili told Qian Liulin about what she had been doing recently, receiving his support.
He said, "Your idea is great, and I think you're doing a pretty good job. As long as it doesn't interfere with your studies, you can try them all."
You have to try a few things to find what you want to do and enjoy doing them.
Song Lili nodded, agreeing with Qian Liulin's point of view.
After dinner, Qian Liulin went back to work, while Song Lili leisurely returned home.
Today, she didn't go to her stall; she took a break, allowing Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan to also have a day off.
We should take action again tomorrow.
However, with the start of the school year drawing ever closer, Song Lili wondered if she should write a letter home.
Should we urge them again to bring Zhang Shengtian and the others over with Zhang Qingguo?
She shared her idea with Zhang Qinghua, but to her surprise, Zhang Qinghua immediately said, "Impossible."
"Why?" Song Lili bristled. Was he really that sure? Didn't he want the family to be together? Why did he want Zhang Shengtian to stay in Hongqi Village?
Not only can the family not be together, Zhang Shengtian also misses his grandson, and Zhang Qingguo's family cannot reunite.
Why can't it work?
Looking at Song Lili, who seemed ready to turn on him if he said another word of denial, Zhang Qinghua couldn't help but shake his head.
"Have you forgotten? It's harvest time now, how could Da Da possibly come? Not to mention Da Da, even Lin Xue wouldn't be able to come right now."
"Even if they wanted to come, they would only come when they weren't busy in the fields; it's simply impossible now."
"This time, Qing Guo is coming alone again; Da Da will not be coming along."
"How could I forget that?" Song Lili angrily pounded her head. How could she forget that it was harvest time?
She looked dejected and said weakly, "It seems that Da Da and the others won't be coming until winter."
Think about it, there are still several months to go.
I'm not happy.
She and Zhang Shengtian got along very well. Zhang Shengtian treated her with even more openness and trust than Song Yongren.
So, she sometimes felt a little dazed, suddenly realizing that the two of them were actually biological children, not father-in-law and daughter-in-law at all.
Lin Xue is also a very nice person. She never has many complicated ideas and is easy to get along with.
Therefore, she really hoped they could come together.
But now, that's definitely impossible.
Sure enough, when the holiday ended, Zhang Qingguo returned alone.
The answer they brought back was exactly what Zhang Qinghua had said: they couldn't leave during the autumn harvest.
Song Lili listened with a mix of melancholy and sighs, which Zhang Qinghua found quite amusing.
Finally, seeing how upset she was, I could only comfort her, "Okay, don't think about it anymore. In a few months, you'll be able to see them."
"Can you guarantee they'll really come back?" Song Lili glanced at Zhang Qinghua.
Zhang Qinghua nodded, "Don't worry, Da Da will definitely come back. He hasn't seen Xiao Chen and Xiao Hui for more than half a year, he must miss them."
"When we have some free time, we'll write to him again, and he'll definitely come back."
Zhang Qinghua knew a lot about Zhang Shengtian.
Although Da Da has never traveled far from home, his heart is not narrow. Although he is reluctant to leave his homeland, he is not a narrow-minded person.
Both of my sons have been admitted to university and will definitely settle down elsewhere in the future, so we can't go back to Hongqi Village.
If he wants to retire in his old age, he will definitely have to stay with one of them, so he will definitely leave Hongqi Village.
Since we're going to leave anyway, leaving now or leaving later makes no difference.
If the emperor can understand this, then he certainly won't refuse to come to the capital, especially since his grandson, whom he cares about, is also here.
They will definitely come.
After listening to Zhang Qinghua's analysis, Song Lili thought about it and realized that it made a lot of sense.
With his family all here, is Zhang Shengtian really going to stay alone in Hongqi Village?
Even if you don't miss your son, don't you miss your grandson? It's said that grandparents love their grandchildren more.
After all, Lin Xue will reunite with Zhang Qingguo, so it seems quite likely that Zhang Shengtian will follow as well.
Thinking about it this way, Song Lili felt much more relaxed.
As long as Zhang Shengtian comes, she can wait, even if it takes a long time.
As for Song Yongren, she can only take care of him from time to time now, and she can't bring him to the capital like she did with Zhang Shengtian.
Leaving aside whether the Zhang family would agree, Song Jianshe would not agree either.
In rural areas, people generally assume that sons will support their parents in old age, and that once a daughter is married, she is no longer considered a daughter and will not live with her unless there is a special romantic partner involved.
All she could do was write more letters to show her concern, and send things and money to Song Yongren, hoping that his life could get better.
And so, she began her second semester of university.
When school started, she resumed her rule of only setting up her stall on weekends. Fan Lijuan was not fired either; like Wang Mei, she came to help on weekends for eight yuan a month.
Fan Lijuan is a very hardworking person who doesn't try to cheat or shirk her duties; on the contrary, she is very serious.
Now that she can earn her own money and has money in her hands, things are much better for her and her children.
They no longer just eat steamed buns; they can occasionally have meat to improve their meals with the children, and at the very least, they'll have vegetables and rice.
Wang Mei's life was much better. Not only did she not need her husband to send money, but she could also send her spare money home or buy some clothes for her daughter and send them back.
Their lives improved.
The fact that Song Lili hired Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan for help also came to the attention of several people in the dormitory.
After all, Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan would disappear at the same time every weekend, how could people not be suspicious?
Upon learning this, everyone reacted differently. The most direct reaction came from Liang Yulin, who patted Song Lili hard and said, "You're pretty good. I'll have to try it sometime."
