As Song Zidong was on Song Chen's side, after sending his cousins there, he stayed to see if there was anything he could do to help.
When Li Dagen saw the three-wheeled motorcycle he drove, he had already made up his mind.
From today to the day of the banquet, a lot of dishes will be needed every day, and Li Dagen and his brothers solemnly handed over the task of buying vegetables to Song Chen, their nephew-in-law.
Song Chen couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Lin Lu couldn't help much here, so he followed him, and Song Zidong also went with them.
After buying vegetables in the town, the three of them were so hungry that they went into a restaurant and each had a bowl of noodles with minced meat.
It was not until noon that Lin Jingbei replied to Lin Lu, asking his father to pick him up in the evening, saying that he also wanted to come and see his grandfather off.
Lin Lu agreed.
Song Chen had to agree even if he didn't want to.
The return journey was bumpy for another hour. After the three men delivered the food, Lin Lu quickly jumped down to save his dying butt.
It is already past 3:00 in the afternoon. As the person in charge of the banquet, the village chief asked everyone to prepare lunch first. Some people came to help at eleven or twelve o'clock, and they haven't had breakfast yet, so they are all hungry.
Li Xianglian and her sisters have calmed down and are chatting with the relatives who have come over.
Seeing Lin Lu and the other man coming back, Li Xianglian asked them if they had told Lin Jingbei about this, as she was worried that her eldest grandson would be scared when he came home from school and didn't see anyone.
Lin Lu: "I told you, Song Chen will pick him up after school."
Li Xianglian nodded: "That's fine. I'll kowtow to his grandfather and ask him to bless him with good health and academic success."
The aunts around her haven't seen Lin Lu for many years.
Second Aunt is three years younger than Li Xianglian, but she looks older than Li Xianglian.
"Sister, this is Xiaolu, she has changed a lot. I'm too busy and don't have time to visit her."
Li Xianglian: "It's okay, he's doing fine now. You're busy at home and have a lot of children, so just take care of the family. I'm doing fine here."
"Well, if I weren't so busy, I would have gone to see her a long time ago. Poor child."
Lin Lu: "Thank you, Second Aunt, for your concern."
Third Aunt: "It doesn't matter whether we miss you or not. The ones who feel the most pain are your parents. They've suffered so much over the years to take care of you. You can't be as naive as before."
Li Xianglian is most annoyed by the third child: he has never been able to speak since he was a child and always brings up things that are not related to the topic.
"Why are you talking about this? It's so annoying."
Third Aunt: "It's all for you and Changchun."
Lin Lu was also annoyed with her: "I will be filial to my parents, so you don't have to worry about this, Auntie."
Second Aunt also felt that what Third Child said was wrong, so she changed the subject: "Xiao Bei is about eleven or twelve years old now, right? Is he about to go to junior high school?"
The eldest child of her second son was born in the same year as Lin Jingbei. He is also in the sixth grade this year and will be in the first grade of junior high school next year.
Lin Lu: "It's the second year of junior high school, and it will be the third year soon."
Li Xianglian was very proud when she talked about this. "My son Xiaobei is as smart as his mother. He always gets the first place in the exam and even skipped two grades."
Well, when it comes to academic performance, my third aunt has nothing to say. No one in her family likes to study. Her eldest grandson dropped out of school before graduating from elementary school.
"Oh, why are you talking about grades at this time? Don't say anything. Isn't that your son-in-law, Lao Si?" Auntie San said, pointing at Song Chen who was walking towards them.
"Hello, Second Aunt, Hello, Third Aunt, it's been a long time since we last met." Song Chen greeted the two of them.
Auntie San smiled brightly: "I thought you didn't recognize us now that you are the big boss."
Although he is not her biological son-in-law, he is her sister's son-in-law.
When bragging, doesn't it mean to drag all the relatives out to hang out? People like Song Chen, who are capable, have become frequent guests when she brags, and I don't know how much face she has gained.
Song Chen is also a person who speaks one thing to one person and another to another person. As long as they haven't torn their faces apart, he still has to be polite to them: "Of course not. I will never forget Third Aunt no matter who I forget."
Second Aunt: "Oh, I remember your Third Aunt but forget your Second Aunt."
Song Chen: "I haven't forgotten at all. How could I possibly forget you two aunts? You are Lulu's biological aunts."
Third Aunt: "Sister, I like your son-in-law Song. He speaks openly and honestly, unlike the one my eldest son found. He can't say a word and really can't talk. It's really annoying."
You think Li Xianglian would be modest, but that's impossible. "Who wouldn't like a son-in-law like me? There are many people who like him."
There are people who want to poach her every day, but luckily her daughter is very charming.
Lin Lu pulled Song Chen to sit next to him and asked quietly, "What are you doing here?"
Song Chen: "Come to see where you are."
Lin Lu: Didn’t they all just get off the car?
"You should keep an eye on the time. Go pick up Abei when it's almost time. I've already told him to wait at the door after school. Don't keep him waiting for too long."
Song Chen: "I understand. I will definitely not keep your Ah Bei waiting for long."
It's so weird.
The sad atmosphere seemed to have dissipated now, and everyone was able to sit up and joke around.
Lin Lu glanced over and saw that her grandfather was still sitting alone under the eaves, his eyes looking towards the coffin. Lin Lu hadn't seen him cry in the morning, as if he had entered a numb state. She was very worried about him.
She walked over with Song Chen, squatted down and talked to her grandfather; "Grandpa, have you eaten? Are you hungry?"
The old man just shook his head, rubbed his wrinkled face, and said to Lin Lu in a suppressed calm tone: "I'm not hungry. Have A-Lu and Lao Si eaten? If not, go to your second or third uncle's house to find something to eat. It may take a while for us to get food here."
