Zhang Xiu raised geese and caught one of them two days ago and sent it to Song Li.
Originally, Song Li wanted to wait for He Linyuan to come back for dinner, but she got full marks in the exam, so she had to celebrate anyway.
Song Li was cooking, Zhang Xiu and Li Guizhi came to help. The goose was killed and plucked, and He Rui was helping to pick the vegetables.
It was the first time that Zhang Xiu met his daughter's in-laws, so it would be a lie to say that he had no complaints.
The He family is not a decent family. Even though their children are so grown up, they have never sent anyone to visit.
Even He Rui was assigned to Songbei County to teach, otherwise she wouldn't know when she would see the He family again.
"Only Sister Linyuan came, but your mother-in-law didn't come?"
Zhang Xiu was unaware of the discord in the He family and asked his daughter in a low voice.
Song Li looked up at He Rui who was concentrating on picking vegetables, and spoke to Zhang Xiu only after knowing that she couldn't hear.
"Mom, please don't say this in front of He Rui..."
She briefly told Zhang Xiu about the relationship of the He family. When Zhang Xiu heard that He Rui lost her mother when she was born, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he no longer had any resentment.
"This child is pitiful. Why didn't he come here earlier? Although our Daxingtun is poor, it is definitely better to live with his biological brother and sister-in-law than with his stepmother."
Zhang Xiu stood up and said, "I'll go home and get two more fish. The big carp your brother caught is delicious when braised. Let's cook it together for lunch."
Looking at her hurried back, a smile flashed in Song Li's eyes.
He Rui picked the dishes and brought them to her. Seeing Zhang Xiu leave, she looked puzzled, "Why did my aunt leave?"
"I'm going home to get the fish. Do you like it braised or sweet and sour?"
With Song Li saying this, He Rui had no choice but to understand.
Zhang Xiu gave this to her.
He Rui's chest felt hot, and her expression softened. "I like them all."
Song Li’s cooking skills are so good that everything she cooks tastes great.
"Okay, let's do both."
Song Li made a decisive decision. Even though she couldn't satisfy other needs, a few bites of food would be no problem.
"Thank you...sister-in-law."
He Rui clenched her palms and whispered.
Although she happily talked to her colleague about her sister-in-law, this was the first time she called Song Li to her face.
Seeing her awkward look, Song Li suppressed her laughter and said, "We are all family, what are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you..."
He Rui muttered softly that Song Li was being nice to her for her brother's sake, and she couldn't be ungrateful.
But the more she got along with her sister-in-law, the more she liked her.
So this is the warmth of family.
With the help of Zhang Xiu and others, Song Li quickly prepared a large table of food.
Not only was it a celebration for Song Li, but it was also the first time for He Rui to meet the Song family. The whole family gathered together.
At noon, Song Chengye and Zhao Fengzhu also arrived.
"Pear, these are for you. I made these cookies myself."
Zhao Fengzhu is in the workshop and has now gotten the hang of it. She doesn't want to give the first batch of cookies she made to anyone else, so she gives them to Song Li.
"Thank you, Sister Zhuzi."
"Thank you, it's definitely not as delicious as what you cook."
Zhao Fengzhu waved his hands with a generous and hearty smile on his face, no longer as depressed as before.
Song Chengye, on the other hand, looked dazed and absent-minded.
"What's wrong, Boss? You look like you've lost your soul. Are you too tired from work?"
Zhang Xiu noticed his son's abnormality, and Song Chengye curled his lips, "It's okay, maybe he didn't get enough rest."
Zhang Xiu was skeptical and obviously did not believe what he said.
But she knew that if her son didn't want to say something, she wouldn't be able to get it out no matter how hard she pressed him.
Zhao Fengzhu helped Song Li carry the dishes and told Song Li the reason when no one was around.
"Ding Lanxiang has been coming to the factory to block Brother Song these past two days."
"What's my brother's attitude?"
Song Li had anticipated this long ago. With the Ding family now bankrupt and Ding Lanxiang without a formal job, she would definitely come to harass Song Chengye.
"Brother Song ignored her and kept hiding."
Zhao Fengzhu also found Ding Lanxiang annoying. She looked down on Song Chengye at first, but now she turned around and pounced on him. Who was she trying to annoy?
"That's fine, as long as my eldest brother can handle it clearly."
Just based on what the Ding family had done, Song Chengye would never forgive her, not to mention that Ding Lanxiang had followed Zhu Ming.
"Well, I'll keep an eye on you!"
Zhao Fengzhu was eager to try, Song Li was her savior, and she cared about the Song family's affairs more than anyone else.
…
After dinner, He Rui left with Zhao Fengzhu and the others.
Speaking of which, He Rui is cold and aloof, and has no friends in Beijing. But when she came to Songbei County, she got along well with both Song Li and Zhao Fengzhu.
"Comrade He Rui, what is Beijing like?"
Zhao Fengzhu was curious. She had never been out of Songbei County and didn't know the outside world.
Especially since Sun Zhiyuan would rather hurt her and the child than return to the city, she became even more curious about Beijing.
"It's similar to Songbei County, except that the roads are wider and there are more houses. Everything else is the same," said He Rui.
“It would be nice if I could go and see it.”
Zhao Fengzhu sighed. She wanted to see if the unfaithful man got what he wanted when he arrived in Beijing.
"That's not easy. Come back with me during the holidays."
Zhao Fengzhu laughed, "I only have one day off this weekend, how could I possibly make it in time?"
"Then you can apply to a university in Beijing like my sister-in-law."
"I?"
"Yes, you are so young and have even finished junior high school. My sister-in-law said that you have not neglected your studies over the years, so why don't you continue to take the exam?"
He Rui likes Zhao Fengzhu very much. Now that the college entrance examination has just been resumed, everyone has equal opportunities to take the exam. Although the female workers in the food factory are good, they are not as good as college students.
Zhao Fengzhu was a little moved by what she said. If possible, who wouldn't want to go to college?
She would never have dared to think about it before, but now she has nothing, so why not give it a try.
But she still owed Song Li a huge sum of money. If she gave up her job at the food factory, she didn't know when she would be able to pay it off.
She suppressed the desire in her heart and smiled, "I'll forget it. My life is pretty good now."
He Rui stared at her for a few seconds. She could feel that Zhao Fengzhu was lying.
She didn't know what Zhao Fengzhu was worried about, so she would ask Song Li when she had the chance.
…
Ding Lanxiang had a very bad time recently. Ding Xinrong was shot, and the Ding family was blamed for its downfall.
Especially Ding Xinrong and Ding Zhipeng, who had bullied others a lot in the past, are now seeking revenge.
Ding's mother and Ding Zhipeng occupied her house and took out their anger on her.
Ding Lanxiang is a bully at home. She used to blame Song Chengye, but now she doesn't dare to curse back when she is bullied by her family.
"Success..."
As soon as Song Chengye walked to the entrance of the food factory, he met Ding Lanxiang again.
She no longer had the fierceness and arrogance she once had. She looked haggard, with an unprecedented flattering look on her face.
"What are you doing here again?"
Disgust flashed in Song Chengye's eyes, and he was a little annoyed by her pestering.
Ding Lanxiang seemed oblivious to his disdain, rubbing her hands and smiling, "Is Zhichao okay? I miss him a little."
“Huh!”
Song Chengye laughed sarcastically, "Why didn't you think of Zhichao when you left him outside and were hanging out with Zhu Ming?"
"Ding Lanxiang, if you still have the nerve, stop pestering us and preserve a bit of a loving mother image for Zhichao!"
