Half a month had passed since Xu Youcai's incident, and Song Lili finally found an opportunity to meet with Zhang Qinghua.
Upon meeting, Zhang Qinghua gave Song Lili a big apple, which Song Lili happily accepted.
"Where did you come from? They look so fresh." This was the first time she had ever seen such fresh apples here.
The ones I used to see were all wilted and wrinkled, and they didn't taste moist at all.
But the one Zhang Qinghua gave her was not like that.
"I went to town today." I saw that the supply and marketing cooperative was selling them, and since someone likes to eat them, I bought some.
I just got home, put my things down and came over, just to give her this apple.
Song Lili was very happy, patted Zhang Qinghua on the shoulder, and said "Thank you, thank you" like two buddies. Then, without any hesitation, she took a big bite.
"Is it delicious?" Zhang Qinghua asked.
Song Lili nodded repeatedly, "Delicious, delicious. This is the best apple I've ever had here." Because it's so juicy.
Zhang Qinghua smiled, looking at Song Lili's constantly moving little mouth, his eyes filled with a doting affection that he himself was unaware of.
My whole being felt warm.
After Song Lili finished the entire apple, Zhang Qinghua slowly asked, "What are you planning to do next?"
Actually, Zhang Qinghua really wanted to say, "You don't need to do anything, just leave everything to me."
But he had no position or right to speak, so he could only offer more help.
Song Lili suddenly felt melancholy; she hadn't decided yet.
She was certain that the saying "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it" could be used to bring down Luo Weijia, but she couldn't think of a way to do it.
I don't know how to get everyone to give up on Luo Weijia.
In fact, what Song Lili didn't know was that the people of Hongqi Village had long since given up on Luo Weijia.
It was only because Luo Weijia was ruthless and vengeful that the villagers didn't know what to do and dared not offend him.
If she can unite everyone, she can oust Luo Weijia from power.
However, she doesn't know that yet!
Before she could even feel melancholy for a moment, Song Lili became annoyed and said, "I don't know, I don't know. I'll think about it when I come up with something."
Over a year, I could always think of something.
But she forgot that plans can't keep up with changes, and this world is ultimately not the world she used to live in.
Zhang Qinghua didn't press for details, but simply said, "Pay more attention to Luo Weijia in the future; we'll always find a way."
"Um"
The two relaxed individuals didn't notice the figure walking away in the distance pause for a moment before continuing on its way.
"I heard your grandma caused a huge scene at Luo Wei's house and took back all the grain, money, and coupons that you were shortchanged on work points?"
This is what Zhang Qinghua overheard while he was gossiping with some of his companions on his trip to town today.
Song Lili was unaware of all this until she heard Zhang Qinghua say this, and then she realized where the half of the grain that Gu had brought that day came from.
She nodded. "Yes, they're all coming back. They gave half of the grain to my family."
Zhang Qinghua asked curiously, "Aren't you angry?" If it were before, Song Lili would have already made a scene.
"Don't be angry. The work points that were missed are only worth a little more in food, and I don't think they're worth much in money or coupons anyway. I don't need them."
"My cheap grandma gave us half of the food, which is already very good for her. I can't place too much hope in her. This is good enough."
As long as it's not complete favoritism, Song Lili can accept it.
"Not bad," Zhang Qinghua praised.
I don't know if he meant Song Lili did a good job, or the Gu family did a good job.
Song Lili didn't want to pursue the matter further; she figured she might as well just say it was about herself.
After finishing an apple, the two chatted for a while. Song Lili straightened up and said, "I'm going home now, bye-bye."
The two of them didn't try to avoid each other, so people still passed by from time to time. If this went on for a while, people would start gossiping.
Song Lili didn't care, but Song Yongren should. So, for Song Yongren's sake, she also had to be careful.
"Okay, come to me if you need help." I'm always here.
Zhang Qinghua was aware of Song Lili's thoughts, and he didn't want her to be maliciously criticized by others; he cherished her reputation even more.
Anyway, it's not like we'll never see each other again for a long time; we can chat again in less crowded places later, so he agreed.
After chatting with Zhang Qinghua for a while, Song Lili was in a good mood, but when she got home, she saw someone she didn't recognize.
"Uncle, when did you arrive?" Song Lili asked in surprise.
The person who came was Wu Jiang, the uncle who had given the siblings lucky money during the Chinese New Year.
Wu Jiang was wearing a faded gray shirt and pants with several patches. In some places, the stitching was frayed.
Wu Jiang's complexion was also bad; he was sallow and his face was devoid of flesh, with his bones sticking out. He was only slightly better off than when Song Lili first arrived, when the Song family was in a better situation.
Song Lili felt extremely sad, which showed that her uncle's family was not doing well either.
Judging from the Song family's situation back then, they probably didn't even have enough to eat and relied entirely on wild vegetables to survive.
However, even though the family was in such a state, he still gave his nephew lucky money during the Chinese New Year, which shows that he cares about his nephew very much.
Song Lili also cares about the people who care about her.
She suppressed her heartache, her eyes stinging, but she smiled happily. "Uncle, hurry up and cook. Have you eaten? Is there something you need?"
Then, he said to Song Fang, who was standing shyly to the side, "Fangfang, go to the field and pick some vegetables and cucumbers, hurry up."
