The two searched for a long time but still couldn't find anyone. "Sister, did you hear wrong? It's not train number 9 at all!" Otherwise, how could they not have seen anyone?
"Impossible, it's this car, keep looking." Song Lili denied it; she heard it clearly and couldn't possibly have misheard.
This is the train.
"Okay," Song Fang continued searching, but after most people had gone out, she still hadn't seen anyone.
He turned to ask Song Lili, but she interrupted him, saying, "I'm sure I didn't mishear, it's this car, so look carefully and don't ask anymore."
Song Fang shrugged. Well, she knew what she was going to say even before she asked. What else could she do?
We had no choice but to keep searching.
When almost everyone had left, and even Song Lili was starting to doubt herself, the two of them finally arrived late.
"Sister Lili..." Xia Jun called out as soon as he saw Song Lili.
"Why are you so late?" Song Lili asked worriedly as she went up to him, fearing something might have happened.
"We had too much luggage and there were too many people, so Uncle said we should wait a bit and come out later," Xia Jun said somewhat embarrassed.
To save money, I brought everything I could from home, so I have a lot of things, and it would be very inconvenient to be crammed together with everyone else.
Song Lili understood and said, "It's alright, it's good that nothing happened." Then she went to take the luggage from Song Yongren's hands.
"Big brother, give it to me, I'll take it." Song Yongren took just as much as Xia Jun, while Zhang Aiai's family took the least.
"Big brother, give it to me." Song Fang quickly ran over to take it.
Song Lili took some of Song Yongren's belongings and also brought over a bundle from Xia Jun, otherwise he wouldn't be able to carry it all by himself.
Xia Jun was still embarrassed and kept declining, saying, "Sister Lili, it's okay, I can carry it myself. You can help Uncle, he has a lot of luggage."
"Alright, just give it to me. You two are about the same. If you don't give it to me, you won't even be able to see the road ahead. What are you trying to prove? Do you think I can't see?" Song Lili said irritably.
Xia Jun then gave an embarrassed smile, handed one of the bundles to Song Lili, and wouldn't let her take the others.
Song Lili then brought over his large but lightweight items so that he could see the road ahead more clearly.
As for weight, that's really nothing to her.
Xia Jun did not refuse again, mainly because it was not heavy and Song Lili could carry it.
The four people walked outside while talking.
Song Lili mainly explained the specifics of Xia Jun's job to him; it was too complicated to explain over the phone, and there wasn't enough time.
After all, phone bills are still quite expensive these days.
Song Yongren and Song Fang became much closer, showing concern for each other and catching up on their recent lives.
"Boss, you and Xia Jun can both stay at my place. But I need to tell you that Zhang Aiai and her family will be coming with you. They arrived today as well."
"Will there be enough room?" Song Yongren asked worriedly. With so many people arriving all of a sudden, would there be enough space? "Or should I stay at Fangfang's place?"
Xia Jun quickly replied, "I'll stay at a guesthouse outside." Whether he went or not was up to him.
"You two can relax. I have plenty of rooms. There's enough for you. Don't worry about it."
"What I'm telling you is to prepare you mentally. Zhang Aiai is not an easy person to deal with."
Because they were all on the same side, Song Lili spoke very directly, afraid that the two of them wouldn't understand her roundabout way of speaking.
"I understand." Song Yongren had lived many more years than Song Lili, and he understood immediately after she said it.
Xia Jun was quick to understand as well, and nodded, "Sister Lili, I understand."
"It's good that you know." This way, you can be mentally prepared.
"Lili, is there really enough room?" Song Yongren was still worried. Even with plenty of rooms, could everyone really fit?
So many people have come today alone, plus her family, how big of a house would it take to accommodate them all?
This made Song Fang laugh out loud. "Don't worry, big sister, I have plenty of houses. There's enough room for each of you."
Song Lili bought a courtyard house with at least ten rooms. Her family, including Wang Daming and Daqing, only occupied five rooms, leaving half of them empty.
There's more than enough room for all of them.
Only after the two sisters said this did Song Yongren feel a little relieved. However, he also made up his mind that if he couldn't find a place to stay when he got back, he would find another way and spend money to stay elsewhere.
The two sisters rushed them home, and it was almost evening. At home, Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Aiai were already sitting together talking.
Seeing Song Lili and her companion enter, Zhang Shengtian stood up and walked over with a smile, "In-laws, you've arrived? Was your journey smooth?"
"It went smoothly. With Xia Jun accompanying me, I arrived by myself. It was very convenient." Song Yongren also had a smile on his face.
"You've just come in and are tired from the journey, so please sit down and have some water. I'll have Qinghua find you something to eat." Zhang Shengtian led the people to the table and sat them down.
Then, Xia Jun informed Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Qinghua, ensuring that Zhang Aiai's entire family was not missed.
But Zhang Aiai remained unmoved, showing no intention of greeting anyone, her eyes darting around as she looked at her surroundings.
"Ai'ai, what are you doing? Don't you know how to greet people?" Zhang Shengtian slammed his fist on the table in anger, finally bringing Zhang Ai'ai back to her senses.
Then, looking at Song Yongren awkwardly, he called out, "Uncle, you've arrived?" He tugged at Fang Yaoqing's sleeve, urging him to speak up.
Fang Yaoqing then called out "Uncle" and pinched Fang Xiaotao, who reluctantly called out "Grandpa".
Song Yongren smiled and agreed, then chatted with Zhang Shengtian with a cheerful expression. They were both juniors, and he didn't want to hold it against them.
Song Lili saw what Zhang Aiai's family was doing, but pretended not to see it and put the things she was carrying into the cleaned room.
"I'll go check on the kitchen." Song Lili gestured for Song Fang to sit down and then went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Zhang Qinghua was preparing food for Song Yongren and the other man.
"Didn't I cook a lot this morning? Why are you still cooking?" Because Zhang Qinghua had chopped the vegetables and was preparing to stir-fry them.
But there's no need for that at all; she had everything prepared before she left.
This was something Zhang Qinghua found difficult to say, but he had no choice but to tell her, since Lili would eventually have to find out anyway.
"Those...those foods, Ai'ai's family ate them all." The leftovers were wasted, so they had to remake them for Song Yongren and his wife.
He had everything prepared in advance; all that was left was to stir-fry it before it was ready to eat.
"Then I'll do it." Song Lili took the shovel, but Zhang Qinghua snatched it back. "You're tired too, take a break, I can do it."
Song Lili didn't insist on cooking anymore, but she felt a dark cloud hanging over her heart, sensing that something was very unusual.
