After buying the shop, Song Lili started thinking about how to decorate it.
It was already autumn, and in another month, winter would arrive.
At this moment, Song Lili suddenly remembered that she had written a letter home, but it seemed that she had not received a reply yet.
Or did she simply not see it?
She asked Zhang Qinghua, "Has the Great Leader written to us?" It seemed like a long time had passed since Zhang Shengtian last wrote to them.
“I received a letter a while ago, but you were busy at the time. I wanted to tell you, but I forgot about it later.”
The main problem was that Song Lili was busy accompanying the Americans and would look at documents every day when she came back, so Zhang Qinghua couldn't find a chance to talk to her.
In the end, Zhang Qinghua stopped talking about it, thinking he would bring it up after she finished her work. Little did he expect that he would forget about it once he got busy.
If Song Lili hadn't asked him about it today, he would have completely forgotten about it.
"Did Da Da say he was coming?" This was the question Song Lili was most concerned about.
Now that the autumn harvest is over, the potatoes are probably all harvested too, so there shouldn't be anything else to do at home.
Zhang Shengtian should be able to come over now.
Zhang Qinghua shook his head. "The leader didn't say anything. The letter only said that they were doing well at home, and that this year's harvest was good, and the family received more grain and other necessities than in previous years."
"And she also said that Lin Xue took good care of the vegetables in her private plot and made a lot of money from them."
"Anyway, they were only talking about things in the fields, not about coming over."
Even Zhang Qinghua was unsure at this moment what Zhang Shengtian was really thinking.
Logically speaking, Da Da shouldn't be able to leave the fields behind, but now there's no work to be done in the fields, so why hasn't he said he'd come over?
Doesn't he miss his two grandsons? It's been almost a year since he last saw them.
"Has something happened at home?" Song Lili asked worriedly.
Otherwise, why didn't Zhang Shengtian mention that he wanted to come over?
"It shouldn't be. Let's call and ask tomorrow."
After Song Lili said that, Zhang Qinghua himself was unsure whether something had really happened at home.
But thinking about it again, it seems possible. Otherwise, why haven't we heard anything?
Fearing something might happen at home, Zhang Shengtian would only report good news and keep the bad news from them.
"Okay, I'll make a call. It'll put my mind at ease."
There are telephones in the village, but people don't make phone calls these days; they write letters instead.
Another issue is that phone calls are too expensive; most people simply can't afford them. Writing letters is much cheaper.
The two planned to go to class first and then make the call in the evening.
Although there was no work to be done in the fields, Zhang Shengtian was a restless person and was afraid of not being home during the day.
However, the two of them called each other on their way home from school after class in the afternoon, but no one answered.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. I don't know where everyone in the village went. Why can't anyone hear it?
They had no idea that the people of Hongqi Village were all watching the excitement, or rather, joining in the fun.
As Zhang Shengtian and Lin Xue walked towards the bridge carrying large and small bags, everyone would ask them a question out of curiosity.
"Shengtian, where are you going?" someone asked loudly.
He even brought his daughter-in-law along; it looks like they're going on a long trip.
Over the past six months, rumors have been circulating in the village.
Rumors have been circulating that Zhang Shengtian and Lin Xue, along with their father-in-law and daughter-in-law, were alone at home when they got together.
After that, Zhang Shengtian always went out and slept at other people's houses at night to avoid suspicion.
He only slept at home during the period when Zhang Qingguo was home.
Later, they thought of having Zhang Qingguo take Lin Xue away, but the two of them were worried about Zhang Shengtian, so Lin Xue stayed in the end.
With the autumn harvest finally over and all the work in the fields done, Zhang Shengtian planned to go to the capital.
Firstly, I want to check on my two sons, daughters-in-law, and two grandsons to see how they are doing over there.
Secondly, we should send Lin Xue there, but we can't let our son's family stay separated like this forever, as that could easily lead to problems.
He also missed his two grandsons and wanted to go see them, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.
So, it turned out the way it is now.
"I'm going to the capital to find my two sons, and I'll take Lin Xue and the others with me, so that their family can be reunited," Zhang Shengtian said with a smile.
"Oh, so you're enjoying the fruits of your sons' labor? You're going to have a good life from now on. Both of your sons have been admitted to university and will be city dwellers. You won't have to work so hard anymore."
"Yes, you'll be living in an apartment building and working for the government from now on. You're just lucky."
Those who heard it couldn't help but talk about it, their tone full of envy and a touch of sourness.
"It's not as good as you all say. They still have more than three years before graduation. It's a long way off." Zhang Shengtian waved his hand and smiled.
Enjoying happiness? That'll be a long time coming.
The news that Zhang Shengtian was going to the capital spread throughout Hongqi Village immediately. Everyone who heard about it came out to see, so no one heard the phone ringing in the courtyard behind the square.
On Song Lili's side, the phone call couldn't get through. She was worried about it, but there was nothing she could do.
There's no phone or cell phone at home, so even if I'm in a hurry, I can only wait and call again tomorrow.
So the two of them went home worriedly, but didn't say anything so as not to worry Zhang Qingguo.
The next day, I made a phone call to the village and learned that Zhang Shengtian had brought Lin Xue and Xiao Zhe to the capital.
Song Lili was somewhat helpless. Zhang Shengtian, not wanting the children to worry, came by himself without saying a word.
I have no idea how much suffering I'll endure on the road.
And having a child with her makes things even more complicated.
"Sigh, I don't know when their car will arrive, and I don't know when I'll be able to go pick them up." This is what makes Song Lili most helpless.
"Based on our travel time, we should arrive in the capital in four or five days. I'll go to the train station then and see if we can run into each other."
There really wasn't any other way; we could only use this most primitive method.
"Alright, I'll just have to make a few more trips then, just in case," Song Lili sighed.
But I was still happy. Zhang Shengtian came, and Lin Xue came too. From now on, the whole family could have lunch together.
Since she happened to be near the phone, Song Lili also called Song Yongren to say hello.
Then he asked Song Fang and Chu Ci how they were doing lately, and finally hung up the phone with peace of mind.
Knowing that the people she cares about are all doing well, Song Lili felt relaxed and happy, and also had energy in her body, always feeling that the future would be bright.
I rushed home and happily prepared a table full of delicious food, ostensibly to celebrate.
Zhang Qingguo knew that Zhang Shengtian and the others were coming, and he joined in the commotion, saying, "Yes, yes, we must celebrate! We must celebrate!" They were celebrating that he could finally reunite with his family and no longer have to see them only once in a long while.
