Zhang Qinghua thought Wang Daming would definitely come to the capital, but he didn't expect him to appear in front of him so quickly.
On the third day after Zhang Qinghua learned of this news, Wang Daming arrived, and he found the alley all by himself.
I waited from noon until Zhang Qinghua got off work and came home, only to see someone squatting at the door.
"The Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Qinghua was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth, he simply couldn't believe his eyes.
How... how did this person end up here?
He...he should have been...
"Qinghua, you're back? Open the door quickly, I'm starving, find me something to eat."
As soon as Wang Daming saw Zhang Qinghua, he immediately started shouting.
Zhang Qinghua then realized what was happening, as if he had been forced to withdraw cash.
"Okay, come in quickly."
Zhang Qinghua quickly opened the door and led Wang Daming into the house. "When did you arrive?"
"I arrived at noon, but no one was home. I can only wait for you to come back."
I've been hungry all day, and my stomach is rumbling loudly.
"Wait a minute, I'll go see if there's anything to eat and get you some."
Zhang Qinghua didn't have time to ask anything else and quickly went to find food for Wang Daming.
He had just heard the man say he was hungry, and his stomach was growling loudly.
Zhang Qinghua rummaged through the kitchen and found steamed buns and a plate of cold stir-fried vegetables, so he took them all out.
"This is all the food we have at home right now, so please make do with this for now. You'll have dinner with us later."
It's already evening, so cooking another meal for Wang Daming isn't realistic. Let him have something to eat first.
Wang Daming didn't mind. At this point, anything edible was fine with him; he wasn't picky.
Wang Daming ate three steamed buns and finished the plate of cold dishes before he felt a little better.
"Oh my god, I'm finally alive! You have no idea how hungry I was all day. I was so dizzy and couldn't see clearly."
"If you don't come back soon, I won't be able to hold on any longer."
Wang Daming patted his belly, looking completely satisfied.
Zhang Qinghua poured Wang Daming a cup of tea, then rolled her eyes at him, saying with a hint of annoyance, "You were coming, didn't you know you should have told us in advance?"
"It would be good for us to leave someone at home to wait for you. If you come and the door is locked, you'll have to wait, right?"
"Hehe, I wasn't thinking of troubling you guys if I could find it myself, so I didn't say anything." Wang Daming scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Alright, wait a bit. My boss will be back soon, and then we can eat."
Zhang Shengtian happened to be at the store these past two days.
Everyone thought that Wang Daming would be coming for several days, so they didn't think about having anyone stay at home.
Who knew this guy would show up without saying a word?
Now look what's happened, I'm the one who's suffering.
"Where's Lili? Isn't she coming back?" Wang Daming asked curiously.
I didn't hear Zhang Qinghua mention Song Lili just now.
Wang Daming was amazed.
Zhang Qinghua used to talk about Song Lili all the time, but why doesn't he mention her anymore?
"Lili has been busy lately and comes home late at night, so she doesn't eat with us." Otherwise, why wouldn't he say so?
"Oh, okay," Wang Daming thought that was more normal.
Soon, Zhang Shengtian returned with his three children.
After school, both children went to the store and then went home with Zhang Shengtian.
"Da Ming has arrived?" Sure enough. Zhang Shengtian was also surprised to see Wang Daming as soon as he entered the door.
"Uncle, you're back?" Wang Daming greeted him immediately with a smile.
"You silly child, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me? I could have stayed home and waited for you. Have you been waiting long?"
"No, it didn't take long." It was only an afternoon.
Zhang Qinghua glared at Wang Daming again. He deserved what he got for it!
"Uncle," Xiao Chen called out somewhat uncertainly.
He had met Wang Daming before, at his home in Hongqi Village.
However, several years have passed, and he can't quite remember what Wang Daming looks like anymore, so he's not sure.
"Xiao Chen? You've grown so much! You still remember your uncle? Here, this is a gift from your uncle."
As Wang Daming spoke, he hurriedly pulled out two wooden guns from his pocket, one large and one small, and gave them to the two brothers.
"Thank you, Uncle," Xiao Chen said, accepting the gift.
Xiao Hui looked at Wang Daming with curiosity. He had never seen or recognized this person before.
"This is your uncle, greet him," Zhang Qinghua said, pulling Xiao Hui into his arms.
"Hello, Uncle," Xiao Hui said softly, then lowered his head to play with the wooden gun in his hand.
I've never seen this before!
However, he has a plastic one, which his mother bought, and he likes this one too.
"You're welcome," Wang Daming said with a smile.
"Oh, right, there's also a gift for the little girl, but it's in my bag. I'll get it tonight," Wang Daming added.
"You silly child, you come all this way, but why bring a gift? If you keep doing this, your uncle won't dare let you visit again," Zhang Shengtian said reproachfully.
“Exactly, you’re just being dramatic. You’re here, why are you being so polite?” Zhang Qinghua added.
"This isn't my first time visiting. Even if you ask me to take it again, I won't give it to you."
It wouldn't be right to come empty-handed on the first visit.
Besides, he needed someone's help, and receiving a gift made him feel more confident.
"Fine, this is the last time. If you do this again, Lily probably won't let you in."
Zhang Qinghua understood that this was Wang Daming's way of being polite, so he accepted it.
He was telling the truth; this would be a one-time exception, and there would be no next time.
Otherwise, Song Lili would really kick them out.
She treats her friends sincerely; once she's in someone's heart, they're family, and there's no need for empty formalities.
Treat them like family.
Wang Daming knew a bit about it and immediately nodded, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no next time. I still want to come and freeload again."
He still remembers the taste of Song Lili's cooking.
"Haha, that's good, that's good, this is what a family should be like." Zhang Shengtian laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Once all the family members had arrived, Zhang Qinghua began preparing dinner.
"Oh my god, you actually made this? Can you even cook? Didn't you used to be unable to cook?" Lili used to do it all.
“Am I not good enough at learning?” Zhang Qinghua glared at Wang Daming.
Can't you speak properly? Don't you even have the awareness to ask for help?
"Okay, okay, of course! Looks like I'm in for a treat today. I'll have a good taste of your cooking."
After Wang Daming finished speaking, he laughed heartily, but in his heart he was sighing.
Zhang Qinghua is no ordinary person either.
In ordinary families, men generally don't do this.
Zhang Qinghua was the only exception; she actually learned to cook.
On the other hand, I am also happy for Song Lili.
She can only be happy with a husband who is so caring and understanding.
Don't ask Wang Daming why he knew Zhang Qinghua could cook; he learned it for Song Lili.
Having seen it so many times before, I naturally came to know it.
