After several days of train travel, and when everyone was exhausted, Song Lili and her group finally arrived in the capital.
After getting off the train, Song Lili breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh my god, we've finally arrived."
This journey has been very arduous.
Although there were several adults, they also brought several children.
Although the children are obedient and sensible, they still run around, can't sit still, and are still curious about some things.
Constantly watching over the children and feeding the youngest one left Song Lili mentally exhausted.
Now that we've arrived, we can finally take a breather and not worry that the child will disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Yeah, I didn't expect the car ride to be so tiring. It seems it's not as easy as people say!" Yang Mei sighed from the side.
She and Daqing didn't bring their child; the child stayed at home.
"Let's hurry up and go. Once we get home, we can rest for a bit and then treat ourselves to a good meal."
The food and rest on the train were poor. Everyone was exhausted.
Have a good meal, get some sleep, and you'll be back to normal tomorrow.
"Okay, okay, let's go back now. I just want to sleep." Chu Ci called out from behind.
Without lingering, the group went straight into the alley and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xue and her husband went back to their own home, Fangfang also went back to her rented apartment, and Yang Mei and her husband went home with Song Lili.
"Alright, come in. This is where we're staying." Song Lili opened the door and let Daqing and the other man who was following behind her in.
The two were stunned when they entered. The courtyard was so big! And it was so well-maintained.
The place had such a luxurious feel that the two of them were hesitant to step inside; they had never seen a house like this before.
Such a house seems to exist only in imagination.
A clean and tidy floor, plants climbing all over the walls—what kind of beauty would that be in summer?
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a stone table and stone benches, with a trellis made of long vines on top.
In summer, it is an absolutely refreshing place.
Such a courtyard could only be afforded by wealthy families in the past.
Yang Mei and Da Qing sighed inwardly, but Song Lili felt nothing.
It's winter now, and the plants climbing the walls and the vines on the stone table are all bare, looking rather unsightly.
Song Lili was very dissatisfied, and sometimes she really wanted to pull them up and replant them in the summer.
It's just too troublesome, so in the end it's just a thought.
"You two find a place to sit down first, I'll go and tidy up your room."
We didn't know the two of them were coming beforehand, so the room hadn't been cleaned yet, and we have to clean it now.
The two were still in shock and didn't hear what Song Lili was saying at all. They were just staring at their surroundings as if they didn't have enough eyes.
Seeing the two of them like this, Song Lili stopped caring, put down her luggage, and found a well-lit room to clean.
Zhang Shengtian also sat at the stone table and called to the two of them, "Yang Mei, you two come and sit down quickly. You must be tired after traveling all this way."
Because Daqing and Zhang Qinghua share the same name, Zhang Shengtian sometimes avoids calling him by his name, for fear of confusing the two.
"Huh? Oh... okay..." Yang Mei called out several times before she came to her senses, hurriedly agreed, and pulled Da Qing to sit down.
"Uncle Shengtian, your home is so nice." Daqing took a while to come to his senses and then said to Zhang Shengtian with envy.
"All of this was done by Lili. This place wasn't this nice before; it was just an ordinary house."
Song Lili was quite ambitious and kept tinkering with the yard, which gradually turned it into what it is now.
To be honest, even if the original owner of the house came, he probably wouldn't believe that this was his former house.
The renovation is so good that it can be described as a beautiful scene at every turn. Everyone who sees it loves it and marvels at it.
Didn't you see Wang Daming refuse to leave? He himself said that he likes the layout here, and seeing it every day makes him feel good, which is why he's staying here.
Given Daqing and Yangmei's current reactions, Zhang Shengtian is not surprised.
"Indeed, Lili can do everything very well." Yang Mei sighed, looking at the yard with eyes full of love.
That was true before, and it is true now, and her abilities are getting stronger and stronger.
Yang Mei knew very little about the past, but she had a vague feeling that even the one or two things she knew were enough to show that Lili was different from her.
Sure enough, isn't it showing now? She really is different.
Going to university or starting a big business on your own—which one is easy?
It wasn't easy for anyone, but she managed to do it.
Yang Mei is grateful to have such friends by her side.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's rest for a while, then cook dinner, and after we eat, everyone should take a nap."
The timing is a bit awkward; it's not mealtime, but everyone is hungry and tired. Let's leave it at that.
Song Lili was quick; after cleaning, she immediately went to the kitchen, which was fairly well-prepared.
Knowing they were coming back, Zhang Qinghua bought all the groceries in advance, so all she had to do was cook.
Song Lili didn't make anything complicated; she just made a big pot of noodles, and everyone ate their fill before going to rest.
I haven't had a good rest for several days and I'm feeling quite tired.
They slept until evening, and it wasn't until Zhang Qinghua returned from get off work that the person who heard the noise woke up.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll just have to sleep like this tonight.
"Lili, wake up." Zhang Qinghua returned home and found the house quiet. He was a little confused. Had Lili and the others not come back?
Seeing that the kitchen door belonged to everyone and that the broom was placed at the kitchen doorway, I knew that Song Lili had returned.
This is her habit; she likes to let the kitchen air out after cooking, and she also puts the broom at the kitchen doorway.
So you're back? But where is she?
When Zhang Qinghua returned to the room and saw the person sleeping on the large bed, he finally understood the reason.
She walked over quietly, trying not to make a sound, and sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes tender and full of longing.
Finally, finally she came back.
Since they got married, they have been together almost all the time and have never been apart, even at such a long distance.
In the past, although he would be away from home for long periods while he was at work, Lili would always make time to visit him, and he would try his best to come home sometimes.
This time, we haven't seen each other or spoken for more than ten days, and I miss her very much.
Only after we separated did I realize that, without my noticing, she had become my whole life, and her shadow was everywhere.
When she's not around, everything feels wrong, I feel like I have a problem everywhere, and my heart feels empty, as if it's hollow.
Now she's back, her heart is full, and the world has become bright and fulfilling once again.
Having her by his side was truly wonderful. He was incredibly grateful to be able to spend his life with her.
To be able to hold her hand and grow old together.
