Song Lili left with a smile, which could be considered as accepting Zhang Qinghua's feelings.
She thought, half an hour should be enough, right? Enough for the whole family to have a good talk.
We can talk about the rest tonight; there will be plenty of time then.
"Uncle, Aunt, dinner's ready." Song Lili called out from outside before going in, only to see Yang Mei already standing up and walking out.
"Uncle, Aunt, dinner is ready. Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating."
"Alright, let's eat, I'm hungry too." Li Weiguo was the first to get up and head outside.
"Uncle, let's just stay in the main room. It's quite cold outside, so we won't go out," Song Lili said, tidying up the things on the table in the main room so it could be used as a dining table.
Li Weiguo stopped walking out, turned around and changed direction, facing Song Lili, "Okay, okay, anywhere is fine, it's fine outside."
"Let's keep them indoors. I'm worried the children might not be used to it and could get sick."
“Okay. Let’s stay inside then.” Li Weiguo nodded, very pleased that Song Lili had thought of his child.
Whether someone is sincere or not, others can always sense it. And that's why Song Lili easily won Li Weiguo's favor.
"Come on, come on, it's time to eat." Yang Mei came in carrying bowls and placed one in front of each person.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Aiai and Fang Xiaotao also came in, but they were carrying their own bowls.
Following behind was Zhang Qinghua, who was carrying a large plate with several bowls on it.
"Alright. You all go ahead and eat," Song Lili said after everyone sat down.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Zhang Qinghua turned to look at Song Lili. There were two bowls missing, and it was obvious that Song Lili and Yang Mei were out of food.
"No need," Song Lili shook her head. "Yang Mei and I have already had lunch and aren't hungry yet. This is for you, so please eat quickly."
Just now, Song Lili asked, and Yang Mei also said she didn't want to eat it, so a few people ate it.
Song Lili came out again, brought out the stir-fried dishes, and told the people in the car to eat quickly.
Thank you, Auntie.
Thank you, Auntie.
Fang Xiaotao and the other two children happily thanked her before picking up their bowls and starting to eat.
"You're welcome," Song Lili said with a smile, looking at the children who were about the same age as Xiao Chen, feeling a sense of fondness.
Besides, the children are all very polite, how could they not like it?
Song Lili and Yang Mei sat on the side watching the others eat, not in a hurry to speak.
Now that the person is right in front of you, there's no need to rush anymore.
Yang Mei probably felt the same way. Although she felt pained looking at the children, she naturally didn't hold on to them.
The group was really hungry, so they ate very quickly and finished almost everything that had been brought to them in no time.
"Hey, where is everyone else? Aren't they all home? Where's your uncle? He's not here either?" Only after finishing his meal did Li Weiguo have the mind to pay attention to the others.
"They took the kids out to play," Song Lili said with a smile.
She knew Li Weiguo was asking about Zhang Shengtian, but Zhang Shengtian was with Song Yongren, and she didn't know how to distinguish between the two, so she simply used "them" as a substitute.
"Haha, it seems these old men are living quite well!" Li Weiguo laughed heartily. He knew about Song Yongren's visit to the capital.
Hearing Song Lili's words, he knew that the two of them were together, so he smiled and changed his form of address.
“They have nothing to do now, so they can only take care of the child.” Zhang Shengtian enjoys showing off his granddaughter to the old men he knows in the neighborhood.
“That’s right. We’re long past the age of enjoying our grandchildren. I really want to live like that too.” Li Weiguo smiled, but felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He'll be staying here for a while before heading back. It'll probably be difficult for him to see his two grandsons again.
Therefore, Li Weiguo was really upset. Just thinking about being separated in the future made him feel like he was being fried in oil.
So they simply stopped thinking about it. Their children and grandchildren would have their own lives to live, and coming to the capital was the best choice for them.
"You'll definitely do the same in the future," Song Lili said with a smile. Daqing has already bought a house, so it's not impossible to bring the two elderly people over later.
They don't have to go back now, so it's up to them to choose.
Song Lili didn't say it explicitly; this matter needed to be discussed among the people themselves, so she wouldn't say anything more.
That evening, Zhang Shengtian was overjoyed to see Li Weiguo and his wife when he got home. Seeing his friends in other places made Zhang Shengtian's voice tremble with excitement.
"You...you've come all this way? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Overwhelmed with excitement, Zhang Shengtian asked a question that was clearly somewhat foolish.
Then, before Li Weiguo could answer, he immediately said, "This time you're here, stay a few more days. It'll be a good opportunity to have a good chat with this old man!"
Although he now has peers to talk to when he goes out, Zhang Shengtian still feels more comfortable with his old friends.
That's why she was so happy to see Li Weiguo, so happy that she wanted to keep him here.
Song Yongren nodded in agreement. "Yes, take a good look around. You don't know until you come out. This capital city is indeed very nice." Song Yongren said with emotion.
Back in the countryside, who could have imagined that the outside world would be like this?
Back then, all I hoped for was to have enough to eat and for my family to be safe and sound.
Having come out and seen more, my thinking has gradually changed, and I've discovered that everything outside is indeed better than in the village.
"Alright, I'll take a good look." Li Weiguo laughed heartily when he heard the two of them say that.
The younger generation didn't disturb the three of them, keeping their distance so that they could have a proper conversation.
Seeing that it was almost time, Song Lili prepared to go to the kitchen to make dinner. Her family would be home soon, and she needed to get everything ready early.
While Song Lili was busy in the kitchen, Xiao Chen suddenly walked in.
"You're back?" Song Lili smiled as she looked at her son. He was already as tall as her, and in another year or two, he would probably be taller than her, and she would have to look up to see him.
"What's wrong?" Song Lili asked when Xiao Chen didn't speak, noticing that the child seemed a little different today, as he appeared to be quieter.
"Mom, could you... could you go to school tomorrow?" Xiao Chen hesitated for a long time before finally asking in a weak voice.
"Going to school? Is something wrong?" Song Lili was surprised. Nowadays, schools would never send parents to school unless there was a specific reason.
So, without much thought, Song Lili could easily tell that something had happened, but she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Yes, the teacher said parents need to come to school tomorrow," Xiao Chen said listlessly, without saying anything else.
"You... okay then."
