Song Lili herself didn't feel that this was bad or embarrassing; on the contrary, she felt very comfortable.
She would feel even more uncomfortable if she had to rack her brains to find topics to talk about with Xia Niu.
It's fine as it is now.
After an hour of busy work, the two of them had almost finished preparing lunch.
However, it cannot be served yet because the children have not returned.
Zhang Qinghua doesn't go home for lunch because he doesn't have enough time.
So the family is just waiting for the children to come home before they can eat.
Zhang Aiai needs to leave work earlier for the children, so Song Lili isn't worried about her not making it in time.
She had done all the preparations and was just waiting. Once the children came back, she could stir-fry it and it would be ready to serve.
After getting ready, Song Lili said to Xia Niu, "Sister-in-law, let's go outside and wait for a while. It's too early to cook now, let's wait until they come back."
There are only three or four vegetables that need to be stir-fried, and it takes about ten minutes to cook them.
Even if you wait until the child comes home bored, it's not too late to cook.
All the other dishes can be left out. And the dishes that need stewing are already cooking on the stove.
Xia Niu saw that there was nothing left to do in the kitchen, so she and Song Li went out.
Zhang Shengtian and Song Yongren also returned; after all, they couldn't possibly wander around outside for an entire morning.
The two of them have been back for some time now.
Zhang Shengtian seemed somewhat heavy-hearted because he had something on his mind.
Song Yongren then pulled him aside and kept talking about things related to Hongqi Village, not giving Zhang Shengtian any extra time to think.
Now that Song Lili is out, there's even less chance that Zhang Shengtian will have any extra time to think about the things between Zhang Qingguo and his wife.
Song Lili then told Zhang Shengtian that Li Weiguo and his wife were coming to the capital.
"Uncle, I heard from Sister Yangmei that Uncle Li and his wife are also coming to the capital. You can have a good chat then."
At that time, Zhang Shengtian didn't have time to deal with the problems between Zhang Qingguo and his wife.
Sure enough, Zhang Shengtian was very happy to hear the news, and his somewhat depressed mood improved a lot.
He opened his eyes wide, looking at Song Li with great surprise. "Really? They've decided to come? Didn't they say they needed to think about it?"
Everyone knew that Daqing had summoned Li Weiguo and his wife to the capital.
At that time, it wasn't certain that they would come, so Zhang Shengtian didn't have any specific plans in mind.
Now that he has heard the definite news, he is naturally happy.
For many years, he had the best relationship with Li Weiguo.
We're now in two different places, and we only see each other once a year.
So when Zhang Shengtian heard that Li Weiguo was coming to the capital, he was pleasantly surprised. Seeing someone he knew from the past was, of course, the happiest thing.
The shock of this incident dissipated much of the gloom in Zhang Shengtian's heart. Instead, he pulled Song Yongren aside, and the two of them started talking about Li Liguo and where they should go to see him after they arrived.
He was very interested, and Song Yongren naturally accompanied him. The two of them actively thought about where everyone would like to go.
Song Lili didn't say anything at this moment. She quietly withdrew, leaving the time to Song Yongren and Zhang Shengtian.
This is a topic they enjoy, so let them talk about it freely. Time when they can be this excited is rare these days.
After working for a while, Song Lili saw that it was almost time and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
She had only been in the kitchen a short while when Zhang Aiai returned.
However, Zhang Aiai has changed. She no longer sits there waiting to eat, but goes into the kitchen to help Song Lili after washing her hands when she gets home.
Zhang Aiai knew in her heart that she was only living at her sister-in-law's house now. If she continued to wait for food as before, she probably wouldn't stay in this house for long.
More importantly, she already knows that she made mistakes in the past, and she will not do the same thing again.
I've been helping Song Lili like this for a while now, and Song Lili has never said she doesn't need my help.
So Zhang Aiai went into the kitchen as usual, and saw that the food seemed to be almost ready.
She knew there wasn't much she could do to help, but she still asked Song Lili, "Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?"
Even though there's not much she can do, she still hopes to contribute her share.
She now has a job and a salary, but she lives and eats at her older brother's house. Her sister-in-law doesn't ask her to pay for anything and has never asked her to pay.
So Zhang Aiai thought she should do as much as possible to make herself feel better. Her sister-in-law might also be happier.
Zhang Aiai put herself in his shoes and felt that no one would want to support another person, especially the one who used to always cause trouble for her.
So if she does more, Song Lili should feel better.
That was indeed what Song Lili thought.
Seeing Zhang Aiai come to help him, he naturally felt comfortable.
After all, nobody wants to be a mother hen. After doing so much, they still don't get a thank you.
I doubt anyone would be willing to do something so strenuous and thankless.
Song Lili was naturally unwilling, so when she heard Zhang Aiai say that, a smile appeared on the corner of Song Lili's mouth.
"No need for help, go wash your hands. Then get ready and we can eat. We've almost finished preparing everything here, just two dishes left. We can just stir-fry them, you don't need to help."
That's just how people are often.
You feel uncomfortable when others don't come to help.
Even if there's really nothing you can do to help, you'll feel uncomfortable if that person doesn't speak up.
However, when this person takes the initiative to ask you if you need help, even if you refuse him because you feel that he has nothing to help with, you will feel at ease.
Moreover, the things you do next are done willingly, without feeling resentful or unbalanced.
Therefore, many times and many things are simply a matter of attitude.
After looking at the contents of the kitchen, Zhang Aiai realized she didn't seem to have anything she could do. So, following Song Lili's advice, she went out.
After we went outside, we arranged for everyone to wash their hands and have dinner.
The weather isn't particularly cold yet, so it's fine to put the food out in the yard.
Zhang Aiai immediately took the bowls and chopsticks and started setting the table.
Song Lili was cooking in the kitchen all by herself, and she didn't have to worry about anything else. Zhang Aiai could handle it all by herself, not to mention that Xia Niu was helping her out.
