They were sharing their own experiences, and indirectly explaining why they hadn't contacted Song Lili.
Song Lili didn't actually mind; she just felt comfortable. Anyone would feel warm when they felt valued like that.
"Let's not talk about the past. Today, you should all try my hot pot and then give me your feedback." Song Lili smiled and casually changed the subject.
Both families have their reasons for this, so there's no need to pursue it further.
"Great! I've been wanting to eat this for ages, and today I finally get to eat it!" Zhong Hu said happily, looking at the dishes on the table.
Zhong Hu had wanted to come ever since he met Song Lili, but he hadn't had the time, so he hadn't been able to eat the hot pot he was looking forward to.
Now that I can finally eat, of course I'm happy.
Moreover, he didn't really want to talk about the past, feeling it was pointless.
Now that we know each other's whereabouts, can't we just keep in touch more often?
“I’ll have a good taste too. I’ve had it once before when I was out, but this is my first time having it in the capital,” Mu Shaohua added.
"Then I'll try some too."
Since they were all human sperm, they understood each other's meaning in just one sentence, so everyone laughed and started talking about other things.
They chatted and laughed, creating a lively atmosphere, which gradually dissipated Song Lili's unhappiness.
All the negative emotions that had been building up inside me were released.
She felt much better and the gloomy feeling was gone.
It seems that chatting with others is a great way to vent.
Even after returning home that evening, Song Lili was still in a good mood, with a bright smile still on her face.
She hugged Zhang Qinghua and said happily, "It's really great to see them. I can finally rest assured."
Since we parted ways in Hongqi Village, we haven't known how each other is doing, and we always think about each other.
Now that I'm bored and have talked about it, I feel relieved and finally don't have to worry about it anymore.
"Are you happy now?" Zhang Qinghua looked down at Song Lili's face, a faint smile on his own.
Lili was happy, and naturally he was happy too.
I've known for the past few days that Lili has been feeling down and listless since Zhao Qian left.
He watched silently, anxious but unable to find a good way to comfort her, so he could only offer silent companionship.
Now, seeing the smile on her face and the thin layer of haze in her eyes gone, Zhang Qinghua can finally rest assured.
Therefore, Zhang Qinghua's mood improved as well.
Song Lili nodded, "I'm so happy. It's great to see familiar people. Now I understand why the ancients called meeting an old friend in a foreign land one of the four great joys in life. It really makes sense."
That kind of spiritual joy is something that can't come about just because of a few things.
But mental pleasure is what makes people feel most comfortable, and it can only alleviate a person's overall state.
At this moment, Song Lili felt completely relaxed, as if her entire body had been cleansed and refreshed, making her feel incredibly light and free.
"Alright, let's get ready and go to sleep." Zhang Qinghua was amused by Song Lili's words.
Then, he patted Song Lili's head helplessly, just like when Song Lili was a child.
Song Lili glared at her with dissatisfaction, feeling that this action was like teasing a pet, but it must be her imagination.
Song Lili's mood has improved, and she no longer stays at home. She goes to class when she needs to and goes to the store when she needs to.
The professor's friends have arrived, and Song Lili will take time to go out with them.
Because she had already taken several Americans on a trip to the capital before, Song Lili was quite familiar with the place, having done her homework thoroughly back then.
So this time, she was very skilled and easily completed her work.
Moreover, the professor's friend was also satisfied, thinking that Song Lili spoke well and was also interesting, which made him like her without even realizing it.
So, he praised Song Lili to the professor, which made the professor very happy for quite some time.
As a result, Song Lili would occasionally be praised, leading the classmates to believe that the professor liked Song Lili very much.
That's the truth.
Time flew by in a flurry of activity, and Song Lili was finally on holiday. This time, most of her family members were also on vacation.
However, since the family owns several shops, even on holidays, they can't really relax.
Zhang Qingguo and his wife are busy with their shop, and sometimes they take Xiao Zhe with them.
While Song Lili was busy with her hot pot restaurant, Zhang Qinghua stayed home reading, taking care of the children, or helping Song Lili.
Zhang Shengtian is now just an employee at the hot pot restaurant, responsible for all sorts of miscellaneous tasks.
Song Lili paid him a salary every month and also gave him holidays, which made Zhang Shengtian happy every day.
Lin Xue's place is doing very well because the food is good, the prices are low, and the portions are generous. Many people who know about it will come back again.
Through six months of hard work, she has saved up quite a bit of money. Some time ago, Song Lili heard Lin Xue say that she was going to look for a house during the holidays, as she also wanted to buy one.
Song Lili strongly encouraged Lin Xue to do this, not only for the sake of investment, but also to make Lin Xue and Lin Xue feel more at ease.
Song Lili also noticed that although the couple hadn't said anything, Zhang Qingguo and his wife were still not very comfortable living together and weren't as natural as before.
This is also why Song Lili agreed to Lin Xue buying a house; she probably felt insecure, just like herself.
So, Lin Xue and Zhang Qingguo went to look at houses, while Song Lili went straight to a hot pot restaurant.
The fact that students are on holiday is having some impact on the business of hot pot restaurants.
However, the hot pot restaurant has now become well-known, and its customers are no longer just students.
Therefore, even if there is an impact, it won't be significant, and Song Lili's hot pot restaurant is still doing very well every day.
At this moment, Song Lili was thinking about how to offer different dishes so that customers wouldn't get the same impression of the same thing over and over.
After thinking about what it would be like in the future, Song Lili decided to add desserts, fruits, and candies.
However, this means the store space will be insufficient, and it will feel much smaller.
This forced Song Lili to consider whether she should expand the size of her shop.
She thought about it and felt it was necessary. After all, the store was doing very well, and she wouldn't turn down money, would she?
Having made up her mind, Song Lili began to inquire about nearby shops, hoping that no one would want to sell their goods, preferably shops next to hers.
In this way, she can open up the space and expand the shop area, which will satisfy her needs.
