Fang Xiaotao wasn't that afraid of Zhang Shengtian. This grandfather had always been good to her, giving her delicious food and fun toys.
So, Fang Xiaotao smiled with her eyes narrowed and nodded, "I like it, Auntie's cooking is especially delicious."
Song Lili chuckled and patted Fang Xiaotao's head. "Since you like it, then eat more."
Xiao Hui ran over and lay down on Song Lili's lap. "Mom, I like to eat it too." As she spoke, she secretly pushed Fang Xiaotao away with her little hand.
This amused Song Lili. So, was he jealous? His subtle, furtive manner was rather cute.
She reached out and took Xiaohui's hand in her palm. "I knew Xiaohui liked to eat this, so I made extra. Let's go eat."
Xiao Hui wasn't angry when Song Lili patted her on the shoulder; in fact, she was quite happy because her mother had made this especially for her.
So, he happily ran back to his seat and waited for the meal to be served. Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Hui with an idiot's gaze, thinking, "Silly boy, you didn't even know your mother tricked you."
However, he didn't say that he felt the atmosphere was a bit strange tonight, and that it would be better to play around, eat, and then go back to his room.
The atmosphere at home hasn't been good these past few days, so let's be careful.
Zhang Aiai and Fang Yaoqing hadn't arrived yet, and the table was quiet.
Song Lili said to Song Yongren, "Uncle, I went out today and bought you a few clothes. Try them on in a bit, and I'll change them if they don't fit."
“I already have clothes, why are you buying more? I haven’t worn the ones you bought before much. Look at what I’m wearing, they’re all brand new,” Song Yongren said anxiously.
Song Lili had sent him a lot of clothes before, but he couldn't bear to wear them and just left them there. Why did he buy more now?
"It's getting colder these past few days, so wear more layers," Song Lili said softly, knowing that Song Yongren would react this way.
“You…” Song Yongren wanted to say he would return it, but Zhang Shengtian stopped him, “In-law, this is the children’s filial piety, please accept it.”
"Besides, clothes are meant to be worn. If you have them, wear them. Why leave them unused? Look at me, I wear new clothes every day, and I'm very happy."
Zhang Shengtian laughed heartily and said that many of these clothes were bought by Song Lili, and he was happy wearing them.
Today, I praised Song Lili to Song Yongren, which made Song Yongren happy all day.
Looking at Song Yongren now, it's as if I see my former self, so I naturally try to persuade him.
"Exactly, clothes are meant to be worn, what's the point of leaving them? If I don't have any, I'll just buy more. Your daughter is earning money, can't she buy you clothes too?"
“That makes sense.” Zhang Shengtian nodded.
Song Yongren then fell silent. His earlier objection stemmed partly from his fear that Zhang Shengtian might harbor resentment.
On the other hand, he genuinely felt he had enough clothes and didn't need to buy any more, but since Zhang Shengtian had said so, he couldn't refuse his in-laws' request, so he... accepted it.
However, when talking about gifts, Song Yongren also remembered the things he had brought with him.
In the chaos of the past two days, he had completely forgotten that Lili had left his bag somewhere else and hadn't seen it. He really hadn't remembered.
Speaking of gifts now, I suddenly remembered this.
"You mentioned it and I just remembered. I brought you something in that bag I brought over."
"Some cured meat and wild vegetables from the mountains are dried. You can soak them yourself when you want to eat them."
"I also brought you some of the dried sweet potatoes that your sister-in-law made. I remember you used to like eating these."
Those things should be taken out and placed in the same place, otherwise they might get moldy and spoil over time.
Song Lili was touched and nodded, "I understand. I'll clean it up after I finish eating and leave it outside." It was a good excuse.
In her heart, she felt a warm glow. This father had given her so much warmth, gradually warming her once cold heart.
It brightened her otherwise gloomy mood, and she seemed to develop a little bit of fondness for her home.
Therefore, when I understood my own feelings, I chose to try something I had previously resisted.
As it turns out, she made the right choice, the best choice of her life, and gained a man who loves her and a happy family.
All of this is thanks to Song Yongren; he gave her the courage to change.
Such a person deserves the best.
"Thank you so much, sir." You've traveled such a long way and carried so much stuff. You must be exhausted.
Even though Song Lili might only like one or two of them, she was still happy.
In the past, because of the lack of resources, she could only find ways to obtain ingredients from the land and mountains.
After eating it many times, Song Yongren assumed that she liked it, but in fact she didn't like it, but she didn't dislike it either.
"What are you saying, child? Why are you thanking me? Your father has come all this way to see you, of course he should bring you your favorite food."
"Oh, right, there are some of Fangfang's favorite foods in there too. Remember to take them to her so she can have a treat."
Fangfang's husband's family lives far away, so it's difficult for her to come back. She hasn't been able to eat there often, but she always misses it.
Just yesterday, I was saying that I missed the wild vegetables my sister used to make. They were so delicious, and the happiest thing for me back then was the food my sister cooked.
“I’ve got it. I’ll go tomorrow.” Song Lili nodded.
The gift that Song Yongren brought seemed simple, ordinary, and not worth mentioning at all, but it was a father's most sincere heart.
This is a father's concern for his child who is not by his side; it is his expression of love.
He remembered the children's preferences and the foods they liked to eat, and he would travel great distances to bring them over, simply because the children enjoyed them.
Perhaps, to others, it was just an ordinary thing, but to Song Lili and Song Fang, the two people involved, it was a profound expression of fatherly love.
Therefore, Song Lili didn't feel that the gift was light or ordinary; on the contrary, she felt it was very heavy and very heartwarming.
The warmth made her, who was already happy, feel even happier and luckier now.
I'm so lucky to have met such a father who is wholeheartedly devoted to his child and does everything he can to protect him.
It healed Song Lili's originally hardened heart, giving her the courage to choose what she wanted.
I'm so lucky to have met him, because he changed everything from the past. He made everything completely different.
Song Lili is completely different from before.
The cold and aloof Song Li has also gained warmth and become Song Lili, a girl loved by her family.
So she changed, and naturally, her choices changed as well, making herself luckier and happier.
Song Lili was very grateful to Song Yongren for his love and for always thinking of her and caring about her.
She loved this gift very much; it was a gift from her father, a symbol of his love.
"I'll cook it for everyone another day, and we can all eat together." Sometimes, sharing is happiness. It can make everyone happy, and when everyone is happier together, everyone's happiness is doubled.
