Xu Li blushed and looked away, "He encouraged me to go to Beijing with my sister. He also told me to wait for him for a few more years and that he would work hard to earn money to marry me."
When she said this, Xu Li covered her face and lowered her head so much that she wanted to crawl under the table.
Song Shishi was somewhat surprised that Shitou thought this way.
But this also shows that Shitou is serious about his feelings for Xu Li.
He was willing to risk his life for Xu Li and also think about Xu Li's future.
"That's good. You can take advantage of these few years to study hard. You're still young, so you can take your time with relationships."
Xu Li nodded, "I know, sister."
When Shitou asked her to wait for him to marry her, she had already made up her mind that she would work hard with Shitou for their future.
Li Chengde settled Li Haoyang down before coming out of the room.
...
...
Su Yaqin glanced in the direction of Li Chengde. Considering that Xu Li might not want Li Chengde to know about her relationship, she changed the subject and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Shishi, tomorrow morning, you can take Lili and Xiaobao to go shopping on the street."
"Then Sister Qin, are you going?"
Judging from Su Yaqin's tone, she didn't sound like she was going to go out with them, so I asked another question.
"I won't go. When I came back just now, your brother-in-law told me that someone would come to visit us in the morning, and your brother-in-law and I couldn't leave."
Although Su Yaqin did not explain in detail, Song Shishi could guess from the expression on Su Yaqin's face about this matter that she obviously did not like the guests coming tomorrow.
Li Chengde walked to Su Yaqin, then took out five reunion tickets from his jacket pocket and handed them to Song Shishi.
"Take this money. Take Xiaobao and the others to the street tomorrow and buy whatever you want."
Song Shishi was stunned and quickly waved her hand to refuse: "How can this be so embarrassing? Lili and I didn't bring any gifts this time, so how can we take your money?"
"Your sister and I truly consider you as family. Besides, we are just taking you home to celebrate the New Year. Why do we need you to give us any gifts?"
After Li Chengde finished speaking, Su Yaqin also chimed in: "That's right, didn't you bring vegetables and sweet potatoes when you came?"
"But those are all our own. They are not worth much."
Compared to this, Song Shishi felt a little unworthy.
"As for gifts, the thought is the most important." After saying that, Su Yaqin walked up to her, took her arm, and walked towards the dining table. "Okay, let's not bother with this little money. If you don't accept it, your brother-in-law will think twice."
Having said that, it would be really ungrateful to refuse again.
This was an expression of goodwill from Su Yaqin and Li Chengde to her, so Song Shishi accepted it.
"Thank you, sister and brother-in-law."
Anyway, she has to go out tomorrow, so she can just go to the mall to pick out some New Year gifts.
"Sir, Madam, the food is ready, let's eat."
Aunt Wang from Su Yaqin's family put the pork rib soup in her hand on the table, wiped her hands on her apron, and greeted guests.
"Hey, here I come." Su Yaqin responded.
After everyone sat at the table, Aunt Wang spoke again: "Madam, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
After saying that, Aunt Wang turned around and prepared to get her bag.
"Wait a moment, Aunt Wang."
Su Yaqin called Aunt Wang, stood up and extended her hand to Li Chengde.
When Aunt Wang turned around, Su Yaqin had already walked over with a red envelope.
She stuffed the red envelope into Aunt Wang's hand and said, "Aunt Wang, you have worked hard to take care of our family this year. It's Chinese New Year now, Lao Li and I have given you a red envelope. You can go home and spend time with your family and come back on the eighth day of the New Year."
Aunt Wang took the red envelope, looked at Li Chengde, then turned her gaze back to Su Yaqin, and asked worriedly, "What about you, your husband, and Xiaobao eating these days?"
Su Yaqin is not very good at cooking, and Li Chengde couldn't bear to see her work so hard, so he asked Aunt Wang to take care of them.
Aunt Wang has worked in Su Yaqin's family for several years. In previous years, Aunt Wang would only go home when Su Yaqin and her family were going back to Beijing.
But this year Su Yaqin and her family are going to celebrate the New Year at home, how can she not worry?
"Auntie Wang, don't worry and go back to celebrate the New Year. I'll be here for the next few days and I promise that Sister Qin and the others won't go hungry." Song Shishi stepped forward with a smile.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a second and asked, "Miss Song can cook?"
"Not only that, the food my sister cooks is delicious." Xu Li was very proud when she said this, as if she was the one being praised.
Aunt Wang looked at Su Yaqin with doubt, and only felt relieved when she saw Su Yaqin nodded in agreement, "Then Miss Song will have to work hard these days."
“It should be.”
Su Yaqin went to see Aunt Wang off in person. When she came back, she smiled and explained, "Don't worry about it. Aunt Wang is just worried about me. I can do all the housework except that my cooking is not good."
"It's okay. You have your brother-in-law who loves you anyway. Even if he really can't do it, it's okay." Song Shishi said the truth.
Li Haoyang didn't wake up until they finished dinner. Song Shishi personally fed him and helped him wash up. The little guy was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost curled up to the sky.
…
The next morning, Li Haoyang was still asleep when Song Shishi pulled him out of bed.
Li Haoyang, who used to be grumpy when waking up, lost all his temper the moment he opened his eyes and saw that it was Song Shishi.
"Xiaobao, this is your territory. You have to take me and Aunt Lili around today."
As soon as they went out, Song Shishi assigned a task to Li Haoyang.
"No problem. I promise to treat my pretty aunt and Aunt Lili well today."
Perhaps because he had a sense of mission, or perhaps because he wanted to perform well in front of Song Shishi, Li Haoyang excitedly spun around in circles.
Although Li Haoyang is only five years old, his familiarity with all the streets in Xiangyang County makes Song Shishi and Xu Li astonished.
"Pretty aunt, I know a delicious breakfast shop. Let's go have breakfast first, and then I'll take you to the largest shopping mall in Xiangyang, okay?"
"Okay, Aunt Lili and I will follow your arrangements today."
"Great~"
"Slow down, be careful with the cars."
Song Shishi and Xu Li followed behind Li Haoyang. Xu Li was afraid that Li Haoyang would be unhappy if he heard them talking about him, so she lowered her voice and approached Song Shishi and said, "Sister, this little guy is so smart. The children in our village who are about the same age as him are not as smart as him."
"This is actually quite normal. People live in different environments and have different perspectives, so they are naturally different. But everyone has their own strengths. Although Xiaobao is smart, his ability to take care of himself is far inferior to those children in the village who have to work from dawn to dusk and have to go home to do housework at night."
Hearing this, Xu Li nodded, constantly thinking about what Song Shishi said.
After buying some food, Song Shishi also bought a shirt for Li Chengde in the mall.
For people like Li Chengde who often discuss cooperation with others, shirts are a versatile piece of clothing and are indispensable.
She also bought Su Yaqin a spring coat. Last time, at the entrance of Qinghe Town Bus Club, Su Yaqin's coat was torn by that shrew, so she just happened to buy Su Yaqin another one.
Xiaobao is now of school age, so Song Shishi bought him a schoolbag and stationery.
Because she had bought a jacket for Xu Li before, and also bought spring clothes at Su Yaqin's clothing store, Song Shishi simply bought a few bottles of vanishing cream for Xu Li.
Nowadays, young girls in the city all like to apply this.
Seeing that Xu Li liked it, she bought it and gave it to Xu Li.
Song Shishi and her friends played on the street until almost noon before returning.
But when they got home, the guests had not left yet.
Song Shishi wanted to turn around and take Xu Li and Li Haoyang for a walk nearby, but before they walked out of the yard, the door behind them opened from the inside.
