Living in a hutong all the time would eventually make me feel embarrassed.
No one stopped them or tried to persuade them to stay, which is a good thing. Why should they be stopped?
This is something to be happy about, and the happiest people should be Daqing's family.
Seeing the family reunited, Wang Daming couldn't help but say, "I also need to hurry up and clean up my house, and bring my children and wife over. Otherwise, you all have your families to support, and I'll be all alone, which will make me feel terrible!"
He mainly didn't want to face cold, empty walls and a deserted house when he saw other families enjoying happiness and togetherness.
Therefore, we must speed things up and get the housing project started.
"Da Ming bought a house too?" Li Weiguo was in a good mood, his eyes and brows were full of smiles, and even the deepest wrinkles on his weathered face could not hide his joy.
Wang Daming nodded, "I bought it. It's not far from your house, Uncle. We bought it together, but my house still needs some renovation."
He wasn't as lucky as Daqing, whose house was clean and tidy, looking brand new.
His house was quite old; the exterior walls were peeling, and the doors and windows were damaged, so it needed to be renovated.
"That's great! From now on, we'll be neighbors. That way, we can look after each other, right?" Li Weiguo took a sip of tea, feeling quite satisfied.
Wang Daming nodded with sparkling eyes, "Uncle, you're right. I bought that place specifically so I could be your neighbor."
This was something he and Daqing had agreed upon—to buy a place closer to home.
"That's great! Come over for dinner from now on!" Aunt Li greeted her with a smile, her joy evident in her words.
Following Li Weiguo's advice, they chose an auspicious day to help Daqing move.
First, Daqing and Yangmei packed up all their belongings before Song Lili and the others moved out.
I don't know where Zhang Shengtian borrowed the stroller from, but it doesn't need to be carried. You can just put it on the stroller and push it around, which makes things much easier for people.
Song Lili, along with Zhang Shengtian and the children, pushed a cart full of clothes to Daqing's house first, while the others waited behind.
After opening the door, Song Lili let them all go in first, then pushed the cart through the door and closed it.
The others had already begun touring the house, and seeing how well it had been renovated, they couldn't help but nod in approval.
"That's very good. Those three rooms will be your living quarters. This is the kitchen and storage room." Zhang Shengtian understood after looking around for a while and gave a brief explanation of each room.
Li Weiguo was also very satisfied and kept nodding, while Song Yongren was just watching the show.
Song Lili ignored them. She had dropped them off and let them wander off on their own. She took everything out of the car and put it inside the house.
"Uncle, Uncle, you wait here, I'll push the cart back."
She only brought lighter clothes this time; the heavier items were still at home. Without a cart, it was very difficult to bring them over.
Therefore, she needs to hurry back. The reason she came out this time is because she knows where this place is.
“Okay, then you can go back. But be careful. If you can’t do it, let the men do it. Don’t try to be a hero,” Zhang Shengtian instructed.
He knew that Song Lili was quite strong, but he still couldn't help worrying and would always remind her like this.
Song Lili smiled and said, "I'll remember that. I'll just take the small and light ones. I don't care about the others."
Zhang Shengtian treated me very well, like his own child, always worrying about me and concerned about me.
"Be careful," Song Yongren called out from behind.
"knew"
With the concern of her two fathers, Song Lili pushed her cart back into the alley, where Yang Mei and Da Qing had almost finished packing.
The large items have all been packed away, leaving only the small, miscellaneous things, which Yangmei is still tidying up.
"How can there be so much stuff?" Daqing asked in disbelief, looking at the huge pile of things in the yard.
I remember when they first arrived in the capital, they only brought a change of clothes, but no blankets or quilts, because Lili said there were some here, so there was no need to go through all that trouble.
It came with just a small bundle, but now? It's piled up into a huge heap.
Did they already have so much stuff in Qiemo County?
Song Lili couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that Daqing was making a fuss over nothing.
Things that don't seem like much normally can feel like a lot when you move; anyone who's ever moved knows that.
So Song Lili wasn't surprised at all.
"The cart is here, you can load it however you like." Song Lili pointed to the cart, clearly not intending to help.
There are several men here, so she won't rush to do the work; let them do it first.
"Leave the smaller and lighter ones for me and Sister Yangmei, and you can take the rest," Song Lili said with some unease before entering the house.
"Okay, I know. It won't tire you out. You can go in now," Wang Daming said irritably.
Although he thought the same thing, he felt very uncomfortable when Song Lili said it out loud.
I couldn't help but want to disagree, not wanting Song Lili to have her way.
Only Zhang Qinghua, as always, was gentle and tolerant towards Song Lili, saying, "I understand."
"Lili has become like this because of your indulgence." Wang Daming couldn't help but mutter to Zhang Qinghua, still seething with anger.
Zhang Qinghua immediately lost the gentleness he had shown when facing Song Lili, his face becoming expressionless. "What? You have a problem with that?"
Faced with Zhang Qinghua's expressionless face, Wang Daming helplessly gestured, "I have no objection, I have no objection, okay?"
However, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "After all these years, you still treasure it so much. I don't know how your brains work. It's still the same as before."
In any case, if Wang Daming were to speak for himself, he certainly wouldn't be able to maintain the way things were when he and his wife first got married.
Having a child significantly changes the situation, and the couple will naturally make concessions for the sake of the child.
Unlike Zhang Qinghua and his wife, who already have three children, they still act the same way they did back then.
Back then, Zhang Qinghua said to himself with this expression, "Lili can do whatever she wants."
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Wang Daming saw that familiar expression again. How could he not feel a turmoil in his heart?
Although they complained and grumbled, how could they not feel a little envious inside?
Such a relationship is truly enviable!
He himself cannot possess it, but he would be happy for his friends who do.
Wang Daming thought about his wife and immediately felt satisfied. His wife was just as good as her, wasn't she?
Wang Daming's mind was wandering, but his hands moved at a rapid pace.
