Song Lili was finally able to eat a proper meal. After the children went to rest, everyone sat down and talked.
He told Daqing about his family situation, took out the things Li Weiguo had brought and gave them to him, and then went to talk to the others.
Finally, Song Lili distributed the things she bought to everyone, and then everyone dispersed.
"You should go and rest for a while. Taking care of these three little ones along the way must be tiring," Zhang Qinghua said.
"It's alright. The main concern was that Xiao Hui would run around, but Xiao Chen helped me keep an eye on Xin Yi, so it wasn't too tiring."
Throughout the journey, Xiao Hui was afraid of being sent back to work again, so she was very obedient.
Song Lili told Zhang Qinghua all this, which left him both amused and exasperated. He was at a loss for words, both for his son and his mother.
The mother didn't act like a mother at all, actually scaring and threatening her child. The child wasn't a good child either, being so obsequious that it left her helpless.
"You..." I couldn't help but pat Song Lili on the shoulder. Why are you being so childish?
"I have no choice. Don't you know your own son? He's curious about everything and wants to see everywhere."
"If I don't scare him, he won't have a moment's peace on this journey." Song Lili was also quite helpless.
Why did my child develop this personality?
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Go get some sleep. I'll wake you up for dinner."
Let's take a break; the car ride has been long and I'm very tired.
Song Lili was indeed tired, so she obediently went to rest.
Once she got home, she didn't need to worry about things all the time; someone would be watching over her, and she could sleep peacefully.
When I woke up, it was already dinner time. We talked for a long time because we were together before going home.
“This time when I went back, I went to Ai’ai’s house, but she wasn’t home, only her mother-in-law was there, so I left the gifts there.”
That evening, Song Lili suddenly remembered it and casually mentioned it to Zhang Qinghua, also thinking that she shouldn't worry about it.
"Going to the fields?" It's harvest time now, so if you're not at home, you're probably working in the fields.
"Probably. I didn't ask in detail. You know her mother-in-law, she can't talk to me. I just gave her a few perfunctory answers and then turned around and left."
"I don't really want to talk to her much. She always tries to find out indirectly how much money we have at home, what good things we have, and so on."
"I just want to know, even if someone tells him, does that mean she'll become part of his family? All she does is gossip about this and that."
This is also why Song Lili didn't want to chat with the women in Hongqi Village; it was too boring.
She has no interest in other people's affairs; she just wants to do her own thing.
But those people didn't understand her thoughts and thought she was an oddball. Over time, they stopped interacting with her unless there was a specific reason.
Zhang Aiai's mother-in-law is a typical gossip, no wonder Song Lili likes her.
"Never mind her, we only see her once every few years anyway. It's not worth getting upset over someone who's irrelevant to us."
Zhang Qinghua also disliked Zhang Aiai's mother-in-law; the matter concerning the child that year left him with a bad impression.
"I was just telling you, I didn't really take it to heart, this person isn't really related to us."
"But after I came out, I inquired around and didn't hear anything about Ai Ai's situation. She seems to be doing alright."
The purpose of Song Lili saying all this was the last sentence.
Zhang Aiai is Zhang Qinghua's sister, so it's normal for him to be worried.
"I understand, that's reassuring. Go to sleep." Zhang Qinghua smiled; he knew Lili's good intentions.
The next day, Zhang Qinghua told Zhang Shengtian the news, also to make Zhang Shengtian happy.
With both sons by his side, only his daughter was absent—his favorite daughter, of course he would miss her often.
Sure enough, Zhang Shengtian was very happy. He hummed a song on his way to work, which made Song Lili laugh, and she felt that she had done the right thing.
Although she looked down on Zhang Aiai, she cared about Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Qinghua, so showing concern for Zhang Aiai was a good thing.
Song Lili also went to the store. She had been away from the capital for almost a month and needed to work for a few days.
The children stayed at home with Xiao Chen looking after them, which put Song Lili at ease. All she had to do was leave the food for them.
Song Lili still went to the hot pot restaurant first, as this was her main business and she needed to do everything herself.
When I passed by a friend's shop, I went in and sat down for a while, and instantly settled the matter of Xia Jun.
That evening, Song Lili told Zhang Qinghua about it. She had been so focused on Zhang Aiai last night that she had forgotten about this incident.
"You can handle it yourself. You don't need to tell me these things. Just arrange it yourself."
Zhang Qinghua had no right to say anything about Song Jianshe's family affairs.
I was furious at Xia Niu's behavior, but I also understood that even if I was angry, I could only swallow it down.
They're all relatives, so it's impossible to just ignore them and demand it back; it's just that I'm unwilling to accept it.
As for Xia Niu's younger brother? Who is he? Is he related to her?
All he needed to know was that this person's arrival wouldn't affect Song Lili, his family, or his friends.
Since he wasn't working in his own shop anyway, Zhang Qinghua didn't care much.
"I'm just mentioning it to you briefly; I didn't intend to tell you this specifically."
Right now, the only person she can easily criticize is Zhang Qinghua.
Others would still have some reservations, but he could do without having to think about whether he should speak, whether what he said was right, or whether he would offend anyone.
Talking to him like that made Song Lili feel relaxed, and she got used to telling Zhang Qinghua about anything that happened.
Zhang Qinghua didn't mind at all, and listened silently each time. Sometimes he would just say "oh" and sometimes he would simply not say anything, treating her as a trash can.
Song Lili didn't mind. She knew he was listening, and she felt relieved after speaking, so the matter was over.
"Okay, go to sleep." Zhang Qinghua didn't take it to heart. Sure enough, after a simple "okay," he went about his business.
Song Lili smiled; the two of them were a perfect match.
I've gotten used to it all these years.
They will spend many years like this in the future.
With a happy, sweet smile on her lips, Song Lili nestled in Zhang Qinghua's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhang Qinghua leaned against Song Lili, habitually pulling his arms around her tightly before falling into a deep sleep.
This had become a habit, a habit ingrained in their bones, and neither of them felt there was anything wrong with it.
In this way, they can sleep well and soundly.
They've been doing this for so many years, and it's been great, so they've never thought about changing it.
Why change something good? We should promote and celebrate it! It's such a wonderful habit!
You must practice every day so that you don't forget and can do it every day from now on.
It can also deepen your relationship and make your family happier—a win-win situation. Why refuse? What are the reasons for refusing?
