"Sister-in-law, this is a gift for you." Song Lili handed Xia Niu a bag containing trendy clothes from the capital, which were also produced in the clothing factory.
The clothes are dark blue and have a slightly fitted waist, which aligns with current aesthetic trends and subtly highlights their uniqueness.
It would be perfect to give to Xia Niu.
"Why do I have a gift? That's too much trouble," Xia Niu said, but she still took it and touched it lovingly.
Song Lili smiled but didn't say anything. She was just being polite; once she said something, she just listened.
Song Lili bought a set of clothes for everyone in the family, then bought some food and other necessities, and bought two pairs of shoes and a cotton coat for Song Yongren.
"Lili, you can't do this again." Song Yongren was happy, but he was also worried about the money.
"Okay, I understand." Song Lili agreed without arguing.
Whether you do it or not is up to you.
Song Jianshe also liked his gift very much. "Oh, I like this dress."
Song Jianshe's clothes were like work clothes, pure black with an orange accent to prevent them from being too monotonous.
"I'm glad you like it, brother." Song Lili smiled.
Song Lili and the children stayed until 5 p.m., had dinner, and then left.
"Big Brother, I'm leaving now." Looking at the sky, it seemed like it was going to snow again; it was gray and gloomy, making one feel depressed.
"Okay, be careful on the road and keep an eye on the children." Song Yongren waved his hand. The weather was bad, so he should let the children go home quickly.
When I got home, I heard the child crying, and it was Xiao Xinyi crying.
"What's wrong?" Song Lili hurried in to ask. Why was the child crying so hard?
"You're finally back! Come over and comfort her, she's been crying and looking for you." Zhang Shengtian said, covered in sweat.
Song Lili picked up her daughter and bounced her around, saying, "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, Mommy's back, Mommy's back."
"Why do you cry so much? Mommy will be back soon, won't she?" she said, trying to comfort her child while looking at him with a hint of helplessness.
Unfortunately, the child was still a baby and didn't understand what she meant at all. She just saw that she had stopped crying and was staring at her with her big, wet eyes, looking at her with a pitiful expression.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, alright?" Song Lili couldn't stand the way she was being looked at and took the initiative to admit defeat.
The child's eyes were so pure and pitiful that they softened her heart completely.
After soothing the child for a while until the crying stopped, Song Lili finally had time to look around, and that's when she noticed the problem.
"Big Sister, aren't Qingguo and the others home?" They were all home when she left this morning.
"Sigh..." Zhang Shengtian sighed, "Lin Xue took Qingguo to her parents' home and hasn't returned yet."
Song Lili's gaze froze slightly for a moment, then returned to normal. "Have you eaten yet? What about lunch? Did you eat?"
Lin Xue's family wasn't home, and Zhang Shengtian couldn't cook, so how did they manage to have lunch?
"Don't worry, I made some formula for Xinyi, she's full." Just in case, Song Lili brought a large can of formula with her, and she didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
"And you? Have you eaten?" Song Lili wasn't actually worried that the child would go hungry. Zhang Shengtian doted on his granddaughter so much, would he let her go hungry?
She was mainly asking Zhang Shengtian questions.
"I'm fine, missing a meal or two won't bother me," Zhang Shengtian said nonchalantly.
"You take the child first, I'll go make you something to eat." Song Lili shoved the child into Zhang Shengtian's arms without saying a word.
How could nothing be wrong? Being hungry must be very uncomfortable, how could nothing be wrong?
Zhang Shengtian hadn't eaten for two meals. If she hadn't asked if he was going to go hungry tonight, how could he have slept?
Song Lili felt a little uncomfortable, not because of Zhang Shengtian, but because of Lin Xue.
Considering that Zhang Shengtian couldn't cook, Song Lili and Lin Xue discussed that they would visit their parents' homes at different times.
We agreed that she would go back first today, and Lin Xue would go back tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, after she left, Lin Xue also took her husband and children back to her parents' home.
They just left Zhang Shengtian at home without even preparing food for him. Didn't they know there was someone else at home?
Moreover, she was accompanied by a small child.
At that moment, Song Lili felt uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xue outwardly complied but inwardly defied her.
If we don't bring back the milk powder, will my daughter go hungry today?
Thinking of this, Song Lili felt angry. Although she often disapproved of how Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Qinghua doted on their daughter, she was still her child, and she felt sorry for her too.
Lin Xue actually abandoned them and left.
They didn't even consider the issue of meals for the children and the elderly.
Anger welled up inside me.
I'm furious that Lin Xue says one thing and does another.
If you disagree, you can just say so. She's not an unreasonable person, so why would she do that?
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have gone back to her parents' home; she would have stayed home to cook for the two of them.
You can go back to your parents' home anytime.
Song Lili made Zhang Shengtian a big bowl of noodles with soybean paste, with plenty of meat and a large portion.
"Dad, hurry up and eat. You haven't eaten all day, you must be starving." Song Lili held the child and looked at Zhang Shengtian.
Zhang Shengtian looked at the bowl in front of him, lowered his head, grabbed his chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, nodding as he said, "Okay."
The sound was slightly muffled, as if something was blocking it.
Song Lili didn't notice the subtle difference and thought Zhang Shengtian was genuinely hungry, which made her feel a little sorry for him.
Putting herself in Song Yongren's shoes, she would definitely feel heartbroken and angry if she were treated like that.
Lin Xue went too far this time.
"Dad, I'll take care of the baby. You should rest for a while too. This little girl looks small, but she's quite a handful."
“Taking care of someone all day is more tiring than working a full day,” Song Lili said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll go rest. You and your children can have fun." Zhang Shengtian didn't refuse and readily agreed.
However, before going to rest, he washed the pot and then went back to his room.
Seeing this made Song Lili feel a pang of sadness again.
Is Zhang Shengtian now living a very cautious life? Is he afraid that his son and daughter-in-law will dislike him?
Song Lili sighed and led the children back to their room.
She can't control these things, nor is she capable of doing so.
All she can do is do what she's supposed to do.
Anyway, she would never do something like Lin Xue.
In the past, no matter how busy she was, she would always prepare food for Zhang Shengtian.
If he goes to the store, then there's no need to worry; Song Lili will definitely prepare it at home.
Even the simplest things, I will prepare them.
When Zhang Qinghua was around, she didn't have to prepare anything; she could let him do it.
But they never let Zhang Shengtian go hungry.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xue actually did it.
For the first time, Song Lili felt that perhaps everything was different now.
I don't know if Lin Xue has changed, or if she has always been like this and I just didn't notice it before.
