"Qingguo, to be honest, I also want to go back to Hongqi Village to see my uncle and elder brother."
It had been several years since she had gone back, and Song Lili had always missed it, but she had to give up because you were busy.
During the Chinese New Year, people go home to reunite with their families and visit relatives and friends, which she also wanted to do.
Now, it seems like an opportunity?
“Then let’s go back. If I can’t go back, then you can take the children and Daddy back with you,” Zhang Qinghua decided.
Since both Dada and Lili want to go back, then... let's go back then.
He will try his best to go back with them, but if that doesn't work, he will let them go back and he will stay.
Song Lili thought about it and said, "That works too. Then it's up to you. If it doesn't work out, I'll go back with Dada."
"Should we ask Qingguo? I think Lin Xue doesn't really want to go back, but Qingguo does." Song Lili hesitated.
Judging from Lin Xue's appearance tonight, she can tell that she can't let go of her business in the capital and doesn't really want to go back for the New Year.
"Never mind, the boss said tonight that if they have this idea, they will bring it up themselves."
"If they don't want to go back, asking them would only make things awkward," Zhang Qinghua thought for a moment and then shook his head.
He could also see Lin Xue's reluctance and sighed inwardly.
Compared to this, Zhang Qinghua felt that Song Lili was too good, and that he was too lucky to have met such a good wife.
"Wife, it's so good to have you here. How can you be so good?" Zhang Qinghua couldn't help but hug Song Lili and rub her head against hers.
Her business was much larger than Lin Xue's, yet she managed to be meticulous in every aspect and was very considerate of the elderly.
In this respect, Lili did a better job than Lin Xue.
"Why are you suddenly saying this?" Song Lili was a little confused, then became smug. "Of course I'm good. Why would you choose me if I wasn't?"
At that time, Zhang Qinghua was the most outstanding person in Hongqi Village, and everyone couldn't help but give him a thumbs up when they mentioned him.
If she weren't outstanding, would Zhang Qinghua have been interested in her? Would Zhang Shengtian have been interested in her?
Zhang Qinghua chuckled, "Yes, you are the best, the best in the world. In my heart, you are the best too."
The best version of you, marry me, and I'll feel like the happiest person in the world.
"You are the best too." In my eyes, in my world, you are the brightest star.
"Yes, we are all the best," Zhang Qinghua said with a low laugh.
The couple embraced each other for a long time before letting go, turning off the lights, and going to sleep.
After that day, no one in the family mentioned the topic again, and Song Lili didn't mention their decision.
Let's see what Lin Xue and the others mean first.
If she had told Lin Xue in advance, Lin Xue would have been upset, and the two of them would have developed a rift.
"Lili, I can't go back with you for the New Year." Zhang Qinghua said somewhat dejectedly when he returned the next evening.
"You...don't get a holiday for Chinese New Year?" Song Lili asked tentatively.
Otherwise, why couldn't we go back together?
“No,” Zhang Qinghua said, even more helplessly, “I only have four days off for the Spring Festival, and I don’t have enough time.”
This is the most frustrating part: there are holidays, but not many.
"Oh," Song Lili said, feeling somewhat disappointed.
I've never spent a New Year apart from Zhang Qinghua in all these years, but I never expected that we would have to be apart this year.
"Well... if Lin Xue and the others still haven't made any moves in a few days, I'll tell Da Da." Song Lili said helplessly.
"That's fine then." What else could Zhang Qinghua say?
I didn't have enough time during my vacation, so I had to separate from them.
Having decided to return to Hongqi Village, Song Lili spent the next few days making arrangements for her work after returning home.
With Huang Zhen overseeing the garment factory, Song Lili didn't need to worry much. All she needed to arrange were the three hot pot restaurants.
In the past two years, during the Chinese New Year, people have been eating out more and more often, or going out to eat with their whole family.
Therefore, the store definitely cannot be closed during the Spring Festival, so we can only let everyone take turns on vacation.
It took two days to arrange the three hot pot restaurants.
Song Lili began to think about what she should bring back and what she should buy for her family if she were to go back home.
Song Lili didn't tell Lin Xue about her decision, but she told Song Fang and asked her to make arrangements for the shop.
Anyway, Song Fang is going back with Song Lili, so it's settled.
Then, Song Fang and her family went to a large shopping mall and bought a set of clothes, one for each of the sisters.
Food, household items, children's toys—anything that looks good, I'll buy.
The two sisters are both well-off and don't care about money; they just love to shop.
After about seven or eight days, Lin Xue still hadn't responded, so Song Lili told Zhang Shengtian, "Big Brother, I'm thinking of going back home for the New Year this year."
"I haven't seen my uncle, my older brother, and my nephews for several years. I happen to have some time this year, so I'd like to go back and visit them."
Song Lili didn't say that she was specifically accompanying Zhang Shengtian, and she wasn't specifically accompanying him either; she was just using Zhang Shengtian as an excuse to go to her parents' home.
"You all have time?" Zhang Shengtian asked Zhang Qinghua.
He knew that Lili had time; Lili had mentioned it before.
But, Qinghua...
“Lili will go back with you. I can’t leave, so I’ll just spend the New Year in the capital,” Zhang Qinghua replied calmly.
"This..." Zhang Shengtian didn't know what to feel. He was happy, worried, and relieved at the same time.
Is the joy because I can go home? The worry is that my son will be spending the New Year alone in the capital.
I am gratified because the children are considerate of me and are able to think of me.
I'm so happy to have a child like this!
"I only have four days off, and I'll go back to work after that. Don't worry about me. Besides, I can cook for myself, so nothing will happen."
Zhang Qinghua knew what Zhang Shengtian was thinking at a glance and spoke first to reassure him.
Song Lili chimed in, "Before I leave, I'll pack some extra dumplings and freeze them for him. If he's too lazy to cook, he can just cook them."
"Alright then," Zhang Shengtian nodded after considering for a long time.
Ultimately, the desire to return to Hongqi Village prevailed.
"Okay, pack your bags in the next few days. I'll go tell Daming." Song Lili said and left, leaving the father and son to talk.
Song Lili told Wang Daming, and also told Lin Xue.
Regardless of Lin Xue's decision, she still needed to know this news.
"Sister-in-law, are you all going back?" Lin Xue's expression changed slightly, and she looked displeased, but quickly recovered before asking.
Song Lili nodded, "Your older brother isn't going back. We'll all go back except for him."
"Big brother isn't going back?" Lin Xue's voice was a little loud, as if she was... excited? thrilled?
“Yes, your older brother doesn’t have enough vacation time, so let him spend the New Year here while we go back.”
"Okay, I...I understand." Lin Xue didn't tell Song Lili whether she wanted to go back, and Song Lili didn't ask either.
Why are you asking? Didn't I just see it?
Judging from the looks of it, there's a high probability the answer is no.
She won't be disliked anymore.
