Song Lili deliberately put herself in Lin Xue's shoes and thought about what she would do if she were in Lin Xue's current position.
Then, no results were obtained.
Because she would never allow such a thing to happen; she would never let her family have to beg her husband's family for help.
She is capable on her own and does not need her in-laws' support.
She can help her family with her own abilities, just like she helped Song Jianshe grow vegetables in greenhouses.
She doesn't need Zhang Qinghua's help; she can do it all by herself.
Naturally, such a contradiction is unlikely to occur.
Therefore, Song Lili could not give an answer, nor could she empathize with the situation.
Was Lin Xue wrong? Yes and no.
That's right, it's because Lin Xue is her family. There's nothing wrong with helping her family; on the contrary, it would be more cold-blooded to not help at all.
That's wrong. It's because Lin Xue didn't act as a mediator or make any effort; she just let things unfold as they were.
They cornered Zhang Qingguo, throwing all the difficult problems at him and leaving him to fend for himself.
Is it so easy to get into a government-affiliated organization?
They make a living with knowledge; can Brother Lin Xue really live up to that?
Whether Lin Xue hadn't thought of it or had, she didn't pay any attention.
In any case, the end result was that the atmosphere at home was not good during the Chinese New Year.
After eating dumplings, the children went out to set off firecrackers instead of staying at home, afraid of upsetting the adults.
Moreover, they are happy because it's Chinese New Year.
"..." Song Lili wanted to say something, but sighed and decided to stop talking.
Lunar New Year's Eve passed by uneventfully.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, children come to visit early in the morning to offer New Year's greetings, and no household is left out.
The children in the family also went to join in the fun.
Song Lili stayed at home, took out the candy she had prepared, and gave each child a small handful whenever they came over. Then she smiled and watched them run away while saying auspicious words.
On the first day, no relatives came to visit, just the village children who came to join in the fun and also to get some free food.
Song Lili gave candy to every child who came to visit, and the children in her family received it all day long.
Some kids from the Fourth and Fifth Brigades came, probably because they heard there was candy.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there are no children around; it's mostly relatives, and in most cases, it's the sons-in-law paying respects to their fathers-in-law.
There's a custom here: people visit their fathers-in-law on the first and second days of the lunar new year.
Because the Zhang family were outsiders and had no other relatives, only Zhang Aiai's husband came that day.
Zhang Qingguo went to the Lin family to pay New Year's greetings, and Zhang Shengtian hosted him. Lin Xue and Song Lili were responsible for taking care of the children and cooking.
Since Zhang Qinghua didn't return, Song Lili didn't go to her parents' home to pay New Year's respects. With her son-in-law not around, she didn't dare go back.
However, I will definitely have to go back after the three-day New Year celebration.
The three days of the Lunar New Year passed peacefully without anything happening, but the atmosphere at home was strange.
Xiao Chen quietly told Song Lili, "I always feel uncomfortable at home, and I don't really want to go home."
The atmosphere was tense, and everyone instinctively wanted to escape.
"Kids don't have so many thoughts. Just enjoy the New Year peacefully. After the New Year, when you go back to school, you'll have a lot to worry about."
These things don't need a child to worry about anymore.
Xiao Chen pouted and stopped talking. She took her younger brothers out to play.
The children left, but Song Lili's heart was not at peace.
This time, it seems unlikely that Lin Xue and Qing Guo will reconcile so easily.
The conflicts that had been building up over time have now erupted, and their destructive power is considerable; they won't be easy to resolve.
Only when two people talk things out calmly and rationally can the atmosphere at home improve.
I just don't know if these two will actually do that.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, more people came to visit our home.
Relatives, neighbors, friends of Zhang Shengtian, friends of Zhang Qinghua, and friends of Zhang Qingguo all came.
Song Lili and Lin Xue were also extremely busy. There were too many people coming, and they couldn't entertain them all. They also had to take care of their child.
Finally, having no other choice, Song Lili and Lin Xue kept Xiao Chen at home to look after the child so that they could go about their busy work with peace of mind.
As for Zhang Shengtian, he didn't come out of the house. He stayed to talk to the visitors and pour tea, and he was quite... busy.
Zhang Qingguo also went to pay New Year's visits; there are still several relatives in the family that he needed to visit.
As for their friends, they will have to visit them on their own to offer New Year's greetings.
Song Lili, Zhang Qinghua's friend, could only explain that Zhang Qinghua had not returned and that he would have to make up for it when he returned next time.
Song Lili originally intended for Xiao Chen to represent Zhang Qinghua, but Zhang Shengtian said that Xiao Chen was still too young and others might be unhappy.
It would be better not to go at all, and wait until Zhang Qinghua comes back before going.
Song Lili thought about it and agreed. Xiao Chen was still a child in other people's eyes, and it was not impossible for some people to feel slighted.
Well... let Zhang Qinghua handle it himself.
Xiao Chen was given a day off by Song Lili, who let him go out and have some fun.
Three days later, very few people came to visit.
The people who came were just visiting; no one came to offer New Year's greetings.
Most of those who visit are neighbors, so there aren't many formalities involved.
Once the tea is poured and the food is prepared, they can chat on their own, and Song Lili can go and rest.
Song Lili thought, "Maybe on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I should go to my parents' home on the fifth day."
This year, Zhang Qingguo went to pay New Year's greetings, and the Song family understood, knowing that Zhang Qinghua hadn't returned.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Song Lili was thinking of visiting Song Yongren one more time, but she might not have time to leave before it was too late.
Perhaps this is the last time she will see Song Yongren's family this year.
So, it's better to take advantage of the time you have now and go see more of it.
Song Lili plans to bring all three children with her this time, as she is still worried about Lin Xue's situation last time.
As for Zhang Shengtian alone, he can be dealt with easily.
Song Lili felt heartbroken to see the children go hungry.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Song Lili took the children to the Fifth Brigade early in the morning and chatted happily with her family.
Little did they know, someone had arrived at the Zhang family's residence.
The people who came were none other than Zhang Aiai and her family.
Zhang Aiai took Fang Yaoqing and Fang Xiaotao back to her parents' home.
Moreover, because of these three people, the family, which had been peaceful for a few days, was once again thrown into turmoil.
This also made their plans for the Lunar New Year this year unpleasant.
Instead of making Zhang Shengtian happy, it made him very angry, and he returned to the capital in a sullen mood.
At this time, Song Lili was unaware that she was still at her parents' home, accompanying Song Yongren and playing with her little daughter.
Song Yongren adores Xiao Xinyi; he holds her in his arms and doesn't want to let go, and he keeps staring at her and smiling.
The face, already full of wrinkles, was covered with even more wrinkles, yet it radiated a gentle light.
It can instantly make you feel warm and happy.
Upon seeing this, Song Lili burst into laughter once again.
The men she met didn't seem to have any preference for boys over girls; they all seemed to cherish girls.
Compared to the Zhang family members, Song Yongren was slightly inferior.
