Now, Song Lili gave Xia Jun a choice, and this choice was more in line with Xia Jun's wishes, so Xia Jun naturally chose what he wanted.
"Well... I'll leave in a while. It's harvest time now, and it's very busy. My mother and my wife are both too busy to manage everything at home."
“I helped them with the main work, and I’ll let them handle the final touches. I’ll come to the capital to find you.”
Xia Jun wasn't one to hesitate; once he made up his mind, he became even more decisive.
Song Lili also liked this attitude and smiled as she agreed, "Okay, you can arrange it yourself."
"Just give me a call before you leave, and I'll arrange work for you." (He also went to the station to pick people up.)
People who have never traveled far from home need some care and attention on their first trip.
What's more, this person has a tiny bit of connection with her.
After the two agreed, Xia Jun left with peace of mind.
"Mom, why are you helping Auntie?" Xiao Chen didn't understand. Auntie had lied to her mother that day, so why would her mother still help her?
"Because of your uncle." Song Lili didn't give a perfunctory answer. Xiao Chen was quite perceptive, and he could understand the situation once it was explained to him.
“With your uncle here, your aunt and I have to keep appearances, otherwise your uncle will be the one in trouble in the end.”
"So, when Mom helped, she was actually helping your uncle." Otherwise, who would care?
"But your aunt is so mean to you." This made Xiao Chen a little angry.
"Xiao Chen, the world is not just black and white. Many things cannot be simply judged as right or wrong."
"Many things are neither right nor wrong; they can be right or wrong depending on your perspective."
"Therefore, if we simply look at things as good or bad, we will miss a lot and make a lot of mistakes."
This... is a principle that only adults can understand, something Xiao Chen has never encountered.
"I don't quite understand." Xiao Chen frowned. He couldn't understand how things could be both right and wrong. Right is right, and wrong is wrong.
"You're still young, it's normal that you don't understand." But Xiao Chen is old enough to be exposed to these things.
"For example," Song Lili said, seeing that Xiao Chen was still confused, "take your aunt for example. She asked your uncle to arrange a job for your uncle. Do you think that's right or wrong?"
"Of course it's wrong, isn't that a mistake? Besides, it seems like you can't make that arrangement, can you?"
The place where Zhang Qinghua works is not a place that just anyone can enter.
It requires exceptional professional skills and a strong cultural foundation. Someone like my uncle would have no chance of getting in.
"Yes, in your opinion, this is wrong, but your aunt is making this request in order to make life easier for the family."
"Put yourself in her shoes. Your aunt would think the same way, right?"
"It seems... that's not wrong?" Xiao Chen thought about it and realized... there wasn't anything wrong with it, right?
Song Lili nodded. "So, that's what I was saying earlier: when you look at things from different angles and perspectives, you'll find that they're either right or wrong."
"I understand now!" Xiao Chen nodded, understanding what Song Lili meant.
But he still felt that Zhang Aiai was wrong. "But is what Auntie did right?"
Song Lili's smile deepened; she was already very pleased that this child could still think of this.
Song Lili shook her head. "Your aunt isn't entirely wrong. Her mistake is that she shouldn't force others."
"Even though this other person is her own brother, he still did something wrong."
"In this society, people should not only be self-interested, but also altruistic. They cannot only think of themselves and ignore others. This is everyone's responsibility."
"When you pursue your own interests, you cannot harm the interests of others; this is something everyone should do."
Since Xiao Chen asked, Song Lili began to teach him and instill some correct values in him.
Think about it, and add a final sentence: "Do you understand?"
The complexity involved cannot be explained in just a few words.
Human relationships are complex, and only through personal experience can one truly understand their intricacies.
Song Lili only gave a brief explanation; Xiao Chen will need to explore on her own in the future.
"I understand more or less." Of course, there were still many questions, but Xiao Chen didn't want to ask anymore! He felt that the answer would be very complicated.
"Alright, now that Xia Jun's matter is resolved, let's get ready to go back."
Summer vacation was more than halfway over, and she had things to do, so she couldn't stay in Hongqi Village any longer.
The night before he left, Li Weiguo brought a bundle containing things that Song Lili wanted to give to Daqing and his wife.
"Lili, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time. These are things I prepared for Yang Mei and the other girl."
"I didn't prepare too much, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to carry it all on the road, especially since you have three children with you."
Song Lili took the small bundle and noticed that it was still warm when she held it.
What is this?
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll bring it." Song Lili felt it was no problem with such a small amount of stuff.
With her and Xiao Chen being two strong people, they could easily lift even more.
The two younger children are hard to take care of; I'm afraid they'll run off and get lost.
So, before getting on the bus, Song Lili threatened Xiao Hui, "You better behave yourself on the bus, don't run around, or I won't look for you if you get lost."
"If you're not lost, then I can't punish you lightly. Next summer vacation, I'll bring you here again and make you work in the fields for the whole summer."
During this period, Xiaohui was really scared, and she was afraid to go to the fields to work.
Every day I longed to return to the capital so I wouldn't have to work anymore.
Therefore, this threat is now very effective for Xiaohui, with immediate results.
Xiao Hui immediately promised, "I will definitely not run around, I will stay close to my mother, and I won't get lost."
Xiao Hui knew in his heart that if he got lost, he would never see his mother again. He didn't want that. His mother would make lots of delicious food, and if he got lost, he wouldn't be able to eat it anymore.
Xiao Hui was unwilling to work here again; the feeling was too unpleasant, and he would rather never come here again.
It's clear how much psychological trauma this incident left on Xiaohui.
Song Lili is unaware of her son's growing up; otherwise, she wonders how he would react.
You'd probably find it both funny and sad, right? Because, in Xiaohui's heart, delicious food is the most important thing, even more important than her.
Song Lili didn't know, so she didn't have that feeling.
Seeing that Xiao Hui had behaved herself, he nodded in satisfaction, took his little girl's hand, and had Xiao Chen take Xiao Hui with him into the car, heading towards the capital.
After two or three days, they should arrive in the capital, the place where their family lives, the place the children know best, and the place they most want to return to.
