She had agreed to help, but since the other person didn't come, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
She was there to help, but she didn't have any intention of approaching them on her own initiative.
So, Song Lili began preparing to return to Chengdu.
She should start preparing now, as the specific date for agreeing to Qian Liulin's request is about ten days away.
Put away everything in the house that you don't need before you start, and only keep the things you use often.
Then, I went to the town's supply and marketing cooperative. I bought some things that could be stored, which were considered local specialties.
Those people back home in the capital probably also like to eat these things, so I'll bring them some to satisfy their cravings.
Then, I went to Li Wei's house to explain the situation of Daqing and Yangmei, so that the old man wouldn't worry at home.
Finally, I visited Zhang Aiai's home.
Although the last incident was unpleasant, she's back now, so we can't let it go, after all, Zhang Aiai is Zhang Qinghua's younger sister.
I bought a gift and took Xinyi with me.
Zhang Aiai's mother-in-law lived alone at home; everyone else was out in the fields, and even the children weren't there.
Song Lili put down the gifts, exchanged a few pleasantries with the old woman from the Fang family, and then took her leave.
People you don't know well don't have anything in common.
Besides, it's pointless to say too much when you don't see eye to eye.
When I got home, I saw someone sitting in the main room. Judging from his figure, it should be a man.
Song Lili wondered, "Who is this?"
Upon closer inspection, the person looked familiar. He was someone from the village, but he just couldn't recall his name.
Suddenly, she realized that Xia Jun was the only person who had come to see her recently.
"Xia Jun?" Song Lili called out somewhat uncertainly.
The main point is that the Xia Jun she saw back then was just a little kid, completely different from the mature man he is now.
"Sister Lili..." Xia Jun stood up somewhat hastily. This indirectly acknowledged that Song Lili had chosen the right person.
"Hurry up and do it. When did you arrive? Have you been waiting for a long time?" Song Lili immediately smiled and took care of him.
Song Lili had a very good impression of Xia Jun. She had helped him before, and he didn't have the bad habits of Chen Erhua. At that time, Song Lili even said that bad bamboo produces good shoots.
Now, looking at his appearance again, we can see that he still retains some of his former features, but it takes a careful look to spot them.
"Sister Lili, I'm so sorry. I didn't know my sister would ask you for help. I've troubled you."
Xia Jun apologized immediately after sitting down.
He only found out about this yesterday, and it was only because his sister couldn't keep putting it off that she brought it up.
Because if Song Lili left, Chen Erhua wouldn't let Xia Niu off the hook, so Xia Niu had no choice but to tell Song Lili what she had said.
Xia Jun was furious, ashamed, and self-conscious at the time.
How could they do this? How could they make such demands on Sister Lili? Xia Jun felt very embarrassed.
After the anger subsided, a feeling of attraction returned—the attraction to the news Xia Niu brought, and the attraction to the opportunity Song Lili had given him.
After much thought, I decided to come.
Regardless of whether Song Lili could help, he wanted to seize the opportunity and also say sorry.
"It's alright, I'm not in any trouble. I happen to have connections, so it's not a problem for me."
“If I had no other choice, I wouldn’t have agreed to your sister’s request. You don’t need to feel embarrassed.”
Seeing Xia Jun like this, Song Lili's smile deepened.
Xia Jun's actions made her willing to help him.
"Have you thought it through? What are your plans?" Song Lili asked Xia Jun directly.
Song Lili had long suspected that Xia Niu was keeping it from Xia Jun, and Chen Erhua was also behind it.
Song Lili knew all of this, but she simply didn't want to say more.
She helped him partly because of Song Jianshe, and partly because Xia Jun was someone she could help.
"I...I want to go out." Xia Jun gritted his teeth and told him his plan.
After Xia Niu told Song Lili what she had said, he was thinking about whether to stay at home or go outside.
In the end, he realized that he still longed for the outside world and wanted to go out and see what it was like.
Another reason is that there are more opportunities and more money to be made outside, which can make life better for the family.
Because of Song Lili, the villagers of Hongqi Village developed the awareness of going out into the world at an earlier age.
So, in the following years, more and more people went out to see the outside world.
This also gradually made Hongqi Village the richest village in the surrounding area, and life got better and better.
It's because they seized the opportunity and got ahead of others.
"Have you thought it through?" Song Lili asked again to confirm. As for the answer, well, it was exactly what she expected.
Xia Jun is a very smart person, so he understands what he needs.
Song Lili was just afraid that he wasn't quite sure, so she confirmed it again.
Xia Jun nodded firmly this time, "Yes, I want to go out and see the world."
"Does everyone at home agree?" Song Lili nodded with a smile. Since he was planning to go outside, she decided to let him see what it was like outside.
Xia Jun nodded. "They all agree." He would make those who disagreed agree; Xia Jun had that ability.
"That's good." With family approval, there won't be any unforeseen conflicts. "So, what do you want to do? Or, would you like to go to that place?"
"I...I don't know either. I've never been out before. What do you think, Sister Lili? How about I go to the capital?" After all, Song Lili is there too.
Even if they can't contact each other or meet, he feels at ease. He knows that there are people in this city who come from the same place as him, and that brings him peace of mind.
“That’s fine. If you go to the capital, I can help you find a job.” Song Lili did not refuse.
However, she did not intend to place Xia Jun in her own businesses, nor in the clothing factory or the cosmetics factory.
Such kinship relationships are the most difficult to handle and the easiest to get into trouble with, so Song Lili would not easily touch them.
Besides, it's not worth doing this for Xia Niu.
She decided to ask someone to find Xia Jun a decent job, and then the rest would be up to him.
That's all she can do to help.
“Okay, then I’ll go to the capital. Sister Lili, can I go with you? What day are you leaving?” Xia Jun asked with a smile.
“I’m still a few days away. If things aren’t arranged at home, you can go later. Just give me a call before you leave.”
It's harvest time now, so Xia Jun probably can't leave; he still has farm work to do at home.
Song Lili considerately gave him a choice, fearing that he might be afraid of trouble and leave everything at home to follow her.
"Then...then I'll wait a while." Sure enough, Xia Jun chose the latter; he really couldn't let go of things at home.
However, Song Lili decided to go together because she was afraid of causing too much trouble.
