Chapter Four: Intending to Arrange a Match



For this reason, Song Lili was in high spirits all day, full of energy, and looked much more lively.

Song Lili looked at Song Fang with bright eyes and asked, "Fangfang, do you know Yang Mei and Li Qinghua?" She remembered that her grandmother's name was Yang Mei and her grandfather's name was Li Qinghua. She took her mother's surname.

"Yes, I know her. Yangmei's house is right next to ours. I think Li Qinghua is from the first brigade."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the first brigade," that's what Grandma said, so it seems that these two are the only ones.

With a clear goal in her life, Song Lili stopped complaining about fate and stopped looking at everything around her with a critical eye.

However, the gap between ideals and reality often leaves people disheartened, or even agitated.

A month has passed, but Song Lili has not yet met Li Qinghua, while Yang Mei has met him a few times.

Everyone has to go to work every day and is busy with their own things. Where would they find the time to visit each other and maintain relationships?

Of the few times they met, it was only because Song Lili took the initiative to meet them.

Song Lili couldn't help but worry. If things continued like this, her dreams might never come true. In a more serious case, her grandparents might no longer be the two of them.

Yang Mei is fifteen years old now, so Li Qinghua must be at least fifteen years old, because she has never heard her grandmother say that her grandfather is younger than her.

Given the current situation, it's not uncommon in modern society for people to get engaged at sixteen and marry at seventeen or eighteen, even in remote mountainous areas. This was certainly not the case in the 1960s.

If we don't hurry, what if we miss our chance? Then it will be uncertain whether Song Lili will even exist in this world anymore.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to cultivate feelings between the two of them.

But this makes things difficult...

Relationships are built over time. If two people can't even see each other now, how can there be any relationship left? Isn't this a joke?

Song Lili was so anxious she almost pulled out all her hair. She felt she needed to go outside and breathe some fresh air.

Although she had worked in the fields when she was a child, she always felt like she was about to collapse from working day and night in the fields.

But what she was facing wasn't just yellow earth, but a fat pig that ate and defecated wherever it pleased, making her feel nauseous for a long time. If she didn't get out for some fresh air soon, something really bad would happen.

Fortunately, it rained the next day, quite heavily, so the production team said they wouldn't be able to work, but Song Yongren still went out.

Although I don't have to work in the fields, there are still many things I can do.

However, this benefited the children, who didn't have to work. After breakfast, they would all run out to play with their friends.

Song Jianshe said to his two younger sisters, "You two go out and play with your friends. I'm going to gather pig feed. You're given the day off."

"Oh..." Song Jianshe had barely finished speaking when Song Fang cheered happily and smiled shyly, "Thank you, big brother."

Then, she looked at Song Lili with eyes full of dependence and a little bit of expectation. Her eyes were bright and beautiful.

Without thinking, Song Lili reached out and ruffled Song Fang's fluffy head, smiling indulgently.

Song Fang actually has very beautiful features, and even the children in the Song family are all good-looking.

He was simply hungry and cold, skinny and thin, with sparse, yellowish hair that you could count the strands. Naturally, he had no advantage in terms of appearance.

In her previous life, Song Lili also had a younger brother. Although they often bickered, she still loved him very much.

Now, having a sweet, obedient little sister feels pretty good!

With hope in her eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse. "Then shall I take you to Sister Yangmei's house to play?"

"Okay," Song Fang said with a shy smile.

"Sister Yangmei, is there anything fun to do lately?" After sending Song Fang out to play with Yangmei's younger sister Yang Tao, Song Lili asked Yangmei with great interest.

"What's there to play with? Those are just kids' toys, how can you be so shameless?" Yang Mei said, giving Song Lili a reproachful look as she sewed the shoe soles.

Song Lili touched her nose shyly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Well... she was just trying to start a conversation, why is she taking it so seriously? Doesn't she know the other person might feel embarrassed? My grandma was really not cute when she was young.

But Song Lili still felt closer to Yang Mei, and unconsciously wanted to stay by her side and act coquettishly towards her.

Actually, Yang Mei was also wondering why Song Lili had been coming to see her so often lately and acting so intimately with her.

What Yang Mei found most strange was that Song Lili seemed to know her very well, and was very familiar with her little actions and habits.

This left her unsure how to react, and she could only passively endure Song Lili's enthusiasm.

However, she was also a warm person, and after Song Lili came a few times, she got used to it and became close to Song Lili.

Song Lili smiled awkwardly. "I was just bored. I don't know how to sew shoe soles, and all I can do is sew clothes." And I'm not even very good at it.

In her previous life, Song Lili didn't know how to make shoes. In this life, her mother, Wu Ying, passed away before she could teach her.

Now, all the shoes worn by his family are made by others at Song Yongren's expense.

Song Lili decided to change the subject, hoping to trick Yang Mei into leaving the house. Her eyes darted around, and suddenly she had a good idea.

Grandma is very good at needlework, so she said, "Sister Yangmei, let's go to Team Two. I heard that Fang Xiaoyu has a new shoe design that looks really nice."
