It would be good to let them meet; it would also give them some peace and quiet for a while.
And so, the two of them made the decision happily, and Qian Liulin went off to deliver the message.
Song Lili went home with a smile on her face.
At this branch, everything finally got back on track, business stabilized, and she could finally take a break.
Thinking that she had neglected her children and husband recently, Song Lili decided to take the whole family on a picnic this weekend.
Also, to give myself some fresh air.
Over the weekend, Song Lili prepared a lot of food and planned to have a barbecue.
The three children were the happiest to hear the news, especially Xiao Chen, who is now grown up and has his own little thoughts.
He was envious when a classmate boasted about his parents taking him out to play.
But he knew in his heart that he couldn't be so unreasonable as to make demands on his parents, because they were both very busy.
I never expected that my wish would come true so suddenly today.
"Alright, let's go." Song Lili put the last few things into her bag, then clapped her hands and said casually.
"Let's go then." Zhang Qinghua picked up his bag, grabbed Song Lili's hand with his other hand, and led her outside.
"Mommy, hold my hand." Xiao Hui ran over and grabbed Song Lili's other hand.
Xiao Chen watched and suddenly felt a little envious, but then she realized that she was grown up and shouldn't be so clingy.
But unable to resist the longing in her heart, she secretly went over and took her younger brother's hand.
Well, this counts as holding Mom's hand, and he doesn't have to be embarrassed. He can just say that his younger brother is small and he cares about him.
Zhang Qingguo and Lin Xue followed behind with Xiao Zhe, while Zhang Shengtian stroked his beard and walked at the very back with a smile.
Looking at his family, he felt content and felt that this was the kind of life he wanted.
I believe that being together as a family is the most important thing.
As for the desire to return to Hongqi Village, it gradually faded, and the hope was no longer as urgent as before.
Now that I've gotten used to life in the capital, I actually find it quite nice this way.
Normally, I go to work, take care of the kids, and when I have free time, I go out to chat with the elderly and talk to my family. Life is pretty good.
The whole family had a great time that day, especially the three children, who ran and jumped around all day and fell asleep from exhaustion in the evening.
It was Zhang Qinghua, Zhang Qingguo, and Zhang Shengtian who each carried one back.
Song Lili and Lin Xue took their other belongings and returned home as dusk fell.
"Quickly put the children back in their room and let them sleep well. I'm going to sleep too," Zhang Shengtian said, waving his hand.
I'm getting old and a bit tired right now, so let the younger generation handle the packing.
He's getting old; it would be better for him to rest.
Zhang Shengtian then washed up in his room and went straight to sleep.
Outside, Zhang Qinghua told Song Lili to go and rest while he packed up the things he had brought back.
Zhang Qingguo followed his older brother's example and urged Lin Xue to leave, and the two brothers packed up together.
Then, I went back to sleep.
After that, things returned to calm and regularity.
Song Lili attends classes and leaves on time every day, and she also completes the homework assigned by the teacher on time.
Then, I would spend the rest of my time running between the two stores, checking things out, and sometimes doing surprise inspections.
And just like that, the days flew by, and it was June or July, the end of the semester.
If you count the time, Song Lili and her group have been in the capital for a year and a half.
With final exams approaching, Song Lili felt she should start reviewing properly.
For the past six months, she has been busy opening and managing the store, and hasn't had much time to study properly.
Although she paid attention in class, she had almost no time to read outside of class. She was a little uneasy, afraid that she would fail the exam this time.
So, these past few days, the teacher has put everything else aside and focused on reviewing.
Based on her notes, Song Lili's study was quite effective, and she also filled in many gaps in her knowledge.
After reviewing, she felt a little more confident and less anxious about the upcoming exam.
The exam schedule was very tight and quite stressful.
After the exam, Song Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she could stop worrying and focus on doing what she wanted to do.
During the holidays, without having to attend classes or worry about her studies, Song Lili can focus on her career, which is great.
So while others were busy packing their bags to go home or looking for a place to work during their holidays, Song Lili was leisurely enjoying the cool air and eating fruit at home.
She's not in a hurry; she can go to work at the store tomorrow.
However, Song Lili's leisurely days were soon disrupted. It was dinner time when Qiao Lin suddenly came over.
"Boss, something's happened." Qiao Lin's face was grim, and his anger was palpable, but he held it in.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Song Lili's expression immediately changed.
She knew that something must have happened that Qiao Lin couldn't handle, otherwise Qiao Lin wouldn't have come looking for her.
Qiao Lin has been trained and is now capable of handling things independently, so Song Lili trusts him to handle many matters.
The fact that made him look so grim suggests that something serious must have happened.
"Boss, it's my fault. I didn't keep a close eye on the shop and made a mistake." Qiao Lin admitted his mistake first. If he hadn't been careless, he wouldn't have taken so long to realize it.
"Tell me what happened first. As for whose fault it is, I'll make my own judgment."
Song Lili said in a gentle tone.
She actually trusted Qiao Lin a lot; she had tested him herself, so it couldn't be his problem.
"The ingredients in the store have been mysteriously disappearing lately. In the past, the amount that disappeared was relatively small, so no one noticed."
"It was only in the last few days that things started to get worse, and Sister Gong only vaguely noticed it then. She observed for two days before telling me."
As he spoke, Qiao Lin swallowed hard. "According to our conservative estimate, the lost ingredients are worth about one hundred yuan."
After saying that, Qiao Lin lowered his head in shame, feeling extremely guilty and remorseful for letting down his boss's trust.
It's also because they weren't careful in their work; otherwise, how could it have taken so long to discover it, causing the store to lose so much money?
More than a hundred yuan, at least two months' wages for an ordinary worker, was transferred away just like that. He felt ashamed.
What makes him most ashamed is that, to this day, no one knows who did it, and no one has even noticed the problem.
This made Qiao Lin begin to doubt his leadership abilities. Was he simply not suitable to be the store manager?
With his work attitude, he shouldn't have received such a good opportunity. Who told him to make such a big mistake?
