In mid-August, Zhang Shu and Song Rongrong left work together.
Song Rongrong planned to invite Zhang Shu to Phoenix Pavilion for dinner. The two had just stepped out of the TV station when they saw Tong Tong get into a black sedan.
Zhang Shu clicked her tongue twice, "This is incredible, truly incredible."
Gao Han's voice came from behind, "What's so amazing?"
Neither Zhang Shu nor Song Rongrong spoke.
Following their gaze, Gao Han noticed the black sedan and muttered, "I'm truly impressed."
Zhang Shu: "Good luck."
Gao Han had a complicated expression on his face. "Never mind, I'll go now. I have things to do at home."
After Gao Han left, Zhang Shu asked Song Rongrong, "I forgot to ask you before, did you and Tong Tong know each other before?"
Song Rongrong: "We went to the same university for undergraduate studies, but we only met once or twice."
Zhang Shu: "Then why does she seem hostile towards you?"
Song Rongrong: "Maybe he did something wrong. Let's hurry over, or we won't be able to get a number if there are too many people."
This place is close to the new Phoenix Pavilion store, and it was almost full when Song Rongrong and her companion arrived.
Song Huimin saw Song Rongrong coming over and exclaimed, "Fourth Sister!"
“Members of the council.”
Song Huimin stood in the lobby, dressed in black, and smiled as he approached them.
Song Rongrong smiled and asked, "Are there any seats left?"
Song Huimin: Just the two of you?
Song Rongrong responded with a "hmm".
"There's one more table; I'll take you there."
This table had just been vacated; the waiter was still wiping it. Song Huimin was standing behind Song Rongrong, with Zhang Shu next to him.
Suddenly, Song Huimin felt a gaze. He turned around and saw Zhang Shu winking at him.
Song Huimin smiled politely.
"You can sit down now. Please order your food first."
Song Rongrong: "Huimin, you do your thing, I'll take care of it."
The shop was still busy, so Song Huimin didn't linger and left quickly.
After everyone left, Song Rongrong smiled and looked at Zhang Shu.
Zhang Shu coughed lightly, "Is that your brother?"
Song Rongrong hummed in response, her face showing a knowing look as she asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Shu: "Your brother is quite tall and good-looking."
Song Rongrong burst out laughing.
The Song family members all have well-proportioned facial features, the kind that give off a spirited and energetic look. Song Huimin is a bit different from the brothers, with three-dimensional and deep-set features. After the young man officially started working at Phoenix Pavilion, he even got his ears pierced, which angered Lu Hui so much that she scolded him.
“My second aunt’s grandfather had Yi ethnic ancestry, so he probably inherited some of it.”
Working at a TV station means seeing lots of handsome men and beautiful women, but Song Huimin has a kind of wild beauty.
Zhang Shu coughed lightly and then asked, "Is he the manager of this store?"
Song Rongrong nodded. "What? You're interested?"
Zhang Shu took a sip of her drink, trying to cover up her lie, "No, I was just asking casually. It's a normal reaction when you see a handsome guy."
After all, he was her own brother. Song Rongrong and Zhang Shu had only known each other for a little over half a month, so she didn't rush to say anything.
After finishing her meal, Song Rongrong went to pay the bill first.
Xu Songyuan had said long ago that the Song family wouldn't charge for meals, but the younger generation still understood the importance of separating business from personal matters. In the end, Song Huimin gave Song Rongrong a 40% discount.
After finishing their meal, Song Rongrong and Zhang Shu went home.
It takes more than 20 minutes to walk back to Heping Lane from here, so Song Rongrong treated it as a walk to digest her food. When she passed Chengxiang Lane, she glanced inside.
She had visited the Liu family several times, but each visit was unpleasant.
Suddenly, she looked across the street and her gaze froze.
Isn't that Liu Aimei?
Liu Aimei has lost a lot of weight compared to before. In addition, having given birth to a child and going to jail, she looks about ten years older.
He still has bandages wrapped around his head, and he looks quite disheveled.
Soon, Liu Aimei crossed the road and came to a few meters behind Song Rongrong before entering the alley.
Song Rongrong was wearing a dress today, her hair was cut short, and she wore light makeup. It's normal that Liu Aimei didn't recognize her since they hadn't seen each other for the past two or three years.
After returning home, Song Rongrong told Liu Aimei about meeting her that day.
"I don't know what happened, his head is wrapped in gauze."
Grandma Song: "She must have fallen. Heaven is watching what people do, and she'll get her comeuppance soon enough."
Qian Yu'an, who had already finished her postpartum confinement, was holding Song Zhiyin and comforting her, "She went back to the Liu family again?"
“There aren’t many people left in the Liu family, so it’s normal for her to go back.” Song Yangmin took Song Zhiyin from him. “You’ve been holding her for too long, let me hold her now.”
Xu Guiying's voice came from inside the house, interrupting the group's conversation, "Second brother, it's not sunny outside now, why don't you take the kids out for a walk?"
The twins like to take walks every morning and evening.
The neighbors adored Song Muchuan and Song Zhiyin. The two children had grown up, with big, bright eyes that made people envious. Several newlywed women even wanted to have babies, which boosted the birth rate in Heping Lane.
When we passed by the Xu family's house, the third and fifth brothers also came out.
"Come here, let your third uncle give you a hug."
Song Anmin reached out his hand to Song Muchuan, who was closest to him.
The little guy remained unmoved.
On the contrary, Song Zhiyin, who was being held by Qian Yu'an, was babbling in baby talk.
Song Anmin snorted, "If you won't let your third uncle hold you, then your third uncle will hold Zhiyin!"
Song Yangmin looked disgusted. "Third brother, be careful."
Song Anmin took the little girl from him, saying, "Don't worry, I have experience."
Song Anmin visited Guoguo a few days ago. The little girl can already walk. The couple has raised their child very well.
The fifth brother was also itching to take the reluctant Song Muchuan. Song Muchuan groaned twice, as if resigned to his fate, and leaned on his fifth uncle's shoulder.
Song Jianmin didn't dare to hug it any longer and returned it to Song Yangmin.
“You’re as soft as tofu, Second Brother, I’ll give you back to you.”
Since being driven away last time, the Chen family hasn't come back for a long time. Song Jianmin still has a secret relationship with Chen Zhou every day. The two hold hands at school and walk home together, but quickly let go when they get close to Heping Lane.
Qian Yu'an smiled and said, "Fifth Brother's method is correct."
Song Jianmin grinned, "Really?"
Qian Yu'an hummed in agreement, and then saw Song Jianmin with a worthless smile on his face, looking completely foolish, as if he had thought of something.
Song Yangmin: "..."
Song Anmin: "Alright, stop laughing. You're acting like you don't know anything."
"Third Brother, shut up!" Song Jianmin gritted his teeth.
Song Anmin didn't expose him, just scoffed, and the group walked around Heping Lane.
Song Rongrong was eating watermelon at her doorstep when she saw them coming back from afar. She then called her second brother and sister-in-law to come back and eat watermelon.
The fifth son stood at his doorstep: "What about me?"
Song Anmin coughed twice and looked inside expectantly.
Song Rongrong's eyes darted around. "Wait! I'll go get it for you!"
Song Anmin smiled with relief, "Rongrong is still very good."
Song Rongrong quickly took out two pieces.
The third and fifth sons each received one.
The third brother took a bite, remained silent, and swallowed it quietly.
The fifth brother took the first bite with a grin, and then immediately spat it out.
"Song Rongrong! You did this on purpose! You cut garlic with a knife!"
Song Anmin, who was standing nearby, burst into laughter.
