Song Lili thought about Xiao Hui's unhappiness last night.
Was the child upset about this last night?
"Mom, you forgot you promised me you'd go see an apartment." Xiao Hui looked at Song Lili with a pitiful expression, feeling a little wronged.
"Oh dear, you've wronged your mother. I haven't forgotten. I was planning to take you to see apartments today."
"I've always remembered what I promised you, why don't you believe me? I'm suddenly so sad." Song Lili clutched her chest, looking heartbroken.
"I...I didn't...I! I was wrong." Xiao Hui said anxiously, then ran to Song Lili's side, leaned against her, feeling wronged and upset.
"Okay, okay, I misunderstood Xiao Chen. It was my fault. I apologize, okay?" Song Lili put her arm around Xiao Hui.
"But you have to promise Mom that you'll tell me anything in the future, okay? If you're unhappy and you don't tell me, I won't be able to guess why you're unhappy."
“Xiao Hui is unhappy, and so is Mom.” Song Lili deliberately frowned, looking completely at a loss.
"Okay," Xiao Hui nodded obediently.
"Great job." Song Lili kissed him, then stood up and pulled Xiao Hui forward.
It's not that she's making a mountain out of a molehill; it's not a good thing for children to have too many worries, it's better for them to vent their feelings freely.
Later, I will slowly teach him to be thoughtful and insightful, but only after he has truly understood it.
Now is the time to be carefree, not to keep everything bottled up inside.
That's why she did it.
Zhang Qinghua also touched the child, saying, "Xiao Hui is our closest relative; he can tell us anything."
“We are good friends,” Xiao Hui said, skipping along.
Knowing that her parents were going to take her to see apartments, Xiao Hui was filled with joy, and all her unpleasant feelings had long since vanished.
Moreover, he still considers his mother his best friend, his father third, and his brother second.
“Yes, we are best friends who can talk about anything.” Song Lili moved her arms, and Xiao Hui’s arms moved along with hers.
"Haha..." Xiao Hui was laughing happily, I don't know where he found the fun.
The family went there chatting and laughing, and then, just like Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua had done that day, they looked around the whole place inside and out before coming out.
After coming out, Xiao Hui smiled smugly, "Tomorrow I'll tell Fatty what my house looks like, and see if he still says I'm lying."
"Okay, speak properly, and don't argue with the children," Song Lili said gently.
"good"
Xiao Hui was in a good mood, so he agreed to whatever she said.
Once you make the child happy, everything will be fine, and the days will fly by.
Several months have passed, and the end of the year is approaching again, time to prepare for the arrival of the New Year.
Overall, the Zhang family made their living online throughout the year, and their lives improved day by day.
Zhang Shengtian was also thinking about how to spend this year's New Year.
"What are your plans for the New Year?" Zhang Shengtian asked Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua first.
I wonder if they have any plans for the Lunar New Year? Or if they have any work to do during the holiday.
"I...I don't have any plans, I'm fine with anything," Song Lili said after thinking for a moment.
The businesses she currently manages can operate without her, so there's no problem if she leaves.
Zhang Qinghua hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm not entirely sure yet."
With more than twenty days until the New Year, many tasks had not yet been arranged, and Zhang Qinghua was unaware of the specifics.
"Well... let's wait and see how things go," Zhang Shengtian said with a hint of helplessness.
Four or five days later, when the whole family was having dinner together, Zhang Shengtian asked again, but this time he asked Zhang Qingguo and his wife.
“I’m fine on my end,” Zhang Qingguo said first.
He works hard and rarely takes holidays, so he simply made up for all the remaining holidays he had before, so he could have a leisurely New Year.
"I...I'm fine here." But leaving doesn't seem like a safe option.
Although Lin Xue owns her own shop, she still tends to be a busybody and keeps a close eye on things.
She's worried about the current staff, as they're all newly hired.
“Uncle, are you going home? I want to go back too, we can go together,” Wang Daming said.
He has been away for several months now, and his wife and children at home miss him and want him to come home for the Chinese New Year.
Of course, he also misses his family.
This time, if he weren't so unsure, he would have brought his wife and children with him. He was going back this time to bring them to the capital.
"..." Zhang Shengtian didn't speak. Neither of his two sons had made a decision, and he wasn't sure if he could go back for the New Year.
“Sister, are you going back? If so, we’ll go with you.” Song Fang said in return.
It's unlikely that Song Fang will go to Chu Ci's house right now; there's still some distance between them.
But she couldn't just stay alone in the capital, so she decided to go back to her parents' home.
I haven't been back for several years, so I'll go and see my uncle, my elder brother, and my nephews.
“Your brother-in-law is still not sure about our situation, so we don’t know if we can go back.”
"If we can go back, let's go together."
Song Lili looked at Zhang Shengtian, then at Zhang Qinghua, before speaking to Song Fang.
"Okay, let me know when you've made your decision."
Song Fang decided that this year she would go back to Hongqi Village with her sister and her family.
If her sister spends the New Year in the capital, she will also spend the New Year in the capital.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. After exchanging a few words, everyone went back to rest.
"When will you be able to make a decision?" Song Lili asked Zhang Qinghua after the two returned to their room.
Zhang Qinghua frowned. "It will probably take a few more days to confirm, but I'm not entirely sure."
Zhang Qinghua also has a heavy workload, and he is unsure if he will have time during the Spring Festival.
"Well... let's wait and see in a few years."
“I think Da Da really wants to go back to Hongqi Village, so he’s been feeling uncomfortable and unhappy because you haven’t given him any definite news these past few days.”
As people get older, they tend to reminisce about the past and want to visit familiar places.
Although Zhang Shengtian had adapted to life in the capital, his heart was still with Hongqi Village.
In the past few years, Zhang Shengtian had been dealing with family matters and was unable to leave, so he had no choice but to give up.
Now that he's finally got an opportunity, it seems he won't give it up easily.
Zhang Qinghua nodded in agreement; he had also noticed that Zhang Shengtian hadn't been in a good mood these past few days.
"I'll ask around tomorrow and see what kind of couples they are. If possible, we can go home."
Zhang Qinghua also felt sorry for Zhang Shengtian, who followed them to leave their hometown and familiar place and come to this unfamiliar capital city.
Now that he wants to go back to Hongqi Village, as his son, he can only do what he can to fulfill his and his wife's wishes.
After all, it's just a small thing, something he can do.
