Song Lili knew that the house had only been roughly cleaned once, and it was far from finished. It needed to be cleaned more thoroughly before it would be considered complete.
"Let's go back first, it's late. We can deal with the rest another day." Daqing glanced at them and then urged the two of them, as it was getting a little hard to see.
The three of them quickly washed their hands before going home.
When they got home, dinner was already prepared and waiting for the three of them.
"Huh, who cooked today's meal?" Song Lili asked in surprise. Only she and Yang Mei knew how to cook; the rest of the family only knew how to eat.
But to her surprise, Song Lili found the prepared food on the table today. How could she not be surprised?
"Oh, Lin Xue came over today. Since it was just the two of us, I cooked dinner before going back," Zhang Shengtian said with a smile.
I see. I knew it! These two big shots aren't cooks, and Wang Daming is even less so.
Aside from being good at eating delicious food, Wang Daming isn't very good at anything else.
"How's the cleaning going?" Zhang Shengtian asked with concern during dinner.
His main concern was that Daqing and the other person might not want to trouble their family and would compromise their own comfort, which was why he was worried.
"Not bad. With a little tidying up, we can move in." Song Lili nodded. She picked up a piece of rice with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Mmm, she was really hungry today.
She knew what Zhang Shengtian meant by those words, so in order to put his mind at ease, she was determined to tell him the truth.
Zhang Shengtian was relieved. Daqing and the other man might have lied to him, but Lili wouldn't. Since Lili said so, it meant the house was really nice.
"That's good. You can try to bother them whenever you have time these next few days. If it really doesn't work, I can go and help you out." Zhang Shengtian nodded.
He hasn't been going to the store lately; he's been staying home with Song Yongren taking care of the kids, so it's fine to go and help out.
"Uncle, no need, no need. The three of us can go again and that will be enough to avoid disturbing you." Daqing quickly refused, afraid that Zhang Shengtian would really go.
Let's forget about it. Uncle Jiu is so old. He should just stay home and take care of the children. He can handle everything else on his own.
If Zhang Shengtian were to go, Daqing would feel extremely guilty.
“Yes, Uncle, the three of us are enough. You don’t need to help. You can stay home and help take care of the children. Let Lili take care of Cangnan.” Yang Mei quickly added.
At this point, there was no time for formalities; as long as Zhang Shengtian didn't go, he would drag Song Lili along.
Since they're friends anyway, let Lili help them out.
Besides, they've treated Lili Fengyun's younger sister well for a long time, so they really won't be too polite to her.
Therefore, Song Lili became the excuse to reject Zhang Shengtian.
Zhang Shengtian stopped insisting after hearing this. As long as Lili was there, it didn't matter whether he went or not.
“Okay. I’ll stay home and take care of the kids, and Lili will help you.” Zhang Shengtian agreed, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Daming said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really don't have the time, so I can't help you."
He and Daqing both needed one of them to be there, so there was no way they could help.
"Just do your job well so I can tidy up the house in peace, that's the best help you can give me," Daqing said, patting Wang Daming on the shoulder.
By tidying up the house without worrying about it, you're also helping out.
Wang Daming nodded, "Alright then, consider it as me helping you out." After all, Daqing had said so.
Enraged, Daqing punched Wang Daming hard on the shoulder. "Yes, you did help."
A few days later, the three of them found some time again to do a thorough cleaning so they could start working on the furniture.
Once the three arrived, they quickly rolled up their sleeves and got to work. They filled a large basin with water, each grabbed a rag, and began to work.
The walls don't need any work, but the pillars, doors, and windows need to be thoroughly cleaned, removing all the dust.
The floor below also needs a thorough cleaning; even though it's concrete, it still needs to be spotless.
And those hard-to-clean corners also need to be thoroughly cleaned.
So the three of them each got a room and started working on it, which lasted all morning.
The morning's results were quite encouraging; at least three houses had been cleaned.
Looking at the bright and clean room, Song Lili took a deep breath. "Ha, it's still more comfortable to look at it like this."
"Yes, no wonder everyone wants things to be clean. It seems that clean things make people feel good."
"Let's go eat, and then continue this afternoon," Daqing said excitedly.
The thought of soon having his own home filled Daqing with excitement.
Ah, that's wonderful! This will be her home from now on.
Not to mention Daqing, even Yangmei was excited. Watching the house being tidied up little by little, the excitement in her heart never subsided.
However, in order not to be laughed at by Song Lili, Yang Mei had been trying her best to control herself and did not show it very obviously.
Seeing how happy the two of them were, Song Lili felt happy for them too.
She understood that feeling of excitement and agitation; she had experienced it herself, so she naturally understood.
She felt the same way when the house in the alley belonged to her. Back then, when no one was around, she would hug Zhang Qinghua and kiss him several times before she felt a little bit of satisfaction.
Therefore, he could understand the couple's feelings, and he was even happier as a result.
After being in the capital for so long, they are finally going to have their own home.
I believe their lives will get better and better in the future.
The three of them went to lunch very happily. This time, they ate rice and ordered a few dishes.
After finishing eating, we continued working. By the afternoon, we had cleaned the remaining two rooms and also tidied up the yard.
"Alright, all done! You can look at the furniture now. Buy whatever you like, and then you can move in," Song Lili said happily, tossing down the rag.
"I'll go look at furniture tomorrow," Daqing said with a smile. The children would be arriving soon, and he wanted to get the house ready as quickly as possible.
"You can decide for yourself. I just need to help you tidy up this place," Song Lili said, squinting her eyes.
This is their own home, and they decorate it bit by bit themselves. Only then do they feel a sense of accomplishment, and only then do they feel better when they live there.
Moreover, Daqing is certainly capable of handling such a small matter well; otherwise, what kind of business would he be in?
So, let them do what they want; Song Lili is not going to interfere.
This will be their home from now on, so of course they have to do it themselves to make it truly meaningful, right?
Song Lili went home happily; as for the rest, she didn't care.
