She was happy, even somewhat excited.
Wu Jiang, who also had a child who was laughing, was also feeling bad.
My younger sister had a hard life; she passed away early, leaving behind several children to suffer.
However, after hearing that Lili was capable of growing and selling vegetables, which improved the family's situation, he felt a little more at ease.
However, when he thought about the purpose of his visit, Wu Jiang's smile faded. His brother-in-law had it tough too, having to raise three children on his own. Could he possibly have that much money?
Yes, Wu Jiang came to borrow money.
Song Lili could tell that her uncle had something on his mind and that he had come for a reason.
That makes sense, it's harvest time now, if there's nothing to do, who would go out to visit relatives, unless they're crazy?
However, since her uncle didn't say anything, she didn't ask. She sat affectionately next to him, looking at him with a smile.
Wu Jiang said with some emotion, "Lili has grown up. In a few more years, she will be a young woman."
Song Lili said proudly, "That's right, I'm an adult now, of course I've grown up." There was also an element of making Wu Jiang happy in this.
Sure enough, the gloom in Wu Jiang's eyes lessened, and his smile became more frequent.
"Yes, Lili is a grown-up now. She needs to take good care of herself and her younger sister. She needs to listen to her grandpa and not worry him, okay?"
Wu Jiang still treated Song Lili like a child of the same age, giving her the same advice that most parents would give.
Song Lili smiled sweetly, "I know, I will be obedient and take care of myself, Uncle, don't worry."
"Uncle, you need to take good care of yourself too, or I'll get angry later."
Wu Jiang found it amusing, but still went along with Song Lili, saying, "Okay, okay, Uncle will take care of himself too."
But... I sighed inwardly. These days, just being alive is a blessing; who cares about their health?
Soon, Song Fang returned, and Song Lili gave the main room to Wu Jiang and Song Yongren, while she took Song Fang to the kitchen.
Judging from my uncle's appearance, he's not eating well, yet he's doing a lot of physical labor, so his health must be severely depleted.
Let's take this opportunity to cook him something nice today. There's no time to buy meat, so we'll just use the meat slices we've already stir-fried.
Song Lili made a cucumber salad, braised pork with potatoes, and stir-fried zucchini. Basically, she used whatever was available in the greenhouse to make a dish.
Then, they rolled out a large piece of dough, enough for everyone to eat their fill.
When she finished cooking and put it on the table, Wu Jiang panicked. He looked at Song Lili reproachfully, "You child, why did you make so much?"
Especially when he saw such a solid pile of dried noodles, his expression changed. "This grain is so precious, how can you make so much noodles? You don't know how to manage your money."
"Hurry up, clear half of the noodles away. You're lucky to have this much food for dinner." He said, and started to clean up the mess himself.
Song Lili quickly stopped him, "Uncle, don't worry about eating. I only made it for you because I had some at home."
“If I didn’t have it at home, I wouldn’t pretend to be rich and starve every day just for one meal. It’s harvest time right now, I’m not going to do that.”
Wu Jiang looked at Song Lili with some suspicion, "Really? You're not lying to me?" But he didn't believe it in his heart.
These days, everyone lives the same life, so how good can it be?
Song Lili made enough noodles for her family for a week in one meal; how could she possibly be so relaxed?
Wu Jiang persisted, wanting Song Lili to withdraw half of the troops.
She hadn't planned to eat, but Song Yongren and Song Jianshe stopped her and she had no choice but to stay.
Seeing all this food now, I regret it.
Song Yongren said, "Uncle, you can eat without worry. What Lili said is true. There is food at home, so don't worry."
“If we didn’t have it at home, I wouldn’t have let Lili do it. We’re a family, we won’t cheat you, so you can eat it without worry.”
Song Yongren was actually grateful to his brother-in-law, who had brought food to his family quite often during the years of famine.
But in the end, the child's mother couldn't make it through and passed away.
Now that he finally had the chance to repay his brother-in-law, he naturally did it without hesitation.
Although he felt a little sorry for the noodles, he figured he might as well eat them so his brother-in-law could have a good meal.
If you don't have enough at home, just buy more.
The whole family tried to persuade Wu Jiang, and in the end, Wu Jiang had no choice but to eat the large bowl of noodles and lots of vegetables that Song Lili had served him for breakfast.
The whole family has a big appetite, and they finished all the food on the table before putting down their bowls and sitting down to digest their food with satisfaction.
Song Lili originally wanted to give her uncle some noodles so that he could have a full meal.
