At this point, Uncle Liang secretly glanced at Song Zhiyao, and seeing that she didn't react, he continued in a gentle voice, "Zhiyao, your mother should have found a partner, but you must not be angry.

It has not been easy for her to raise you three siblings over the years. Now you are all growing up. Ruyun will take the college entrance examination after the Chinese New Year, Zihao also wants to go to high school, and you are almost old enough to get married.

You will all leave home one after another, and then she will be left alone. She is not yet 40 years old, and she still has a long life ahead of her, so it is normal for her to need a companion.

I didn't find a husband before because I had three children. Now that you are grown up, she should have her own life. Don't blame your mother."

After saying that, Uncle Liang glanced at Song Zhiyao's face again and found that she was as calm as before, as if his words were unimportant.

Most children would object or look displeased if their mother found out that they were looking for a partner, but Song Zhiyao did not do that.

His words did not displease Song Zhiyao. Based on her understanding of Lai Yanling, she knew that she was definitely not in a relationship despite her recent cheerful look. Moreover, she was obsessed with their excellent father.

However, Song Zhiyao did not say these words to Uncle Liang. Instead, she nodded to let him rest assured.

Uncle Liang was relieved when he saw this, and at the same time he sighed, "Zhiyao, you are such a good child!"

She just laughed it off when she heard it. Even if Lai Yanling really wanted to find a partner, she wouldn't think it was a big deal. As Uncle Liang said, she was less than 40 years old. Besides being their mother, she was also his own person and had the right to pursue happiness.

Afterwards, Uncle Liang started talking about some trivial matters in the textile factory's staff quarters. Seeing that he was willing to talk, she listened quietly, but most of what he said were compliments from the neighbors about her.

"Zhiyao, you don't know that Niuniu is getting better and better. She can even jog for a while. My Liang Wei has never been sick. People in the family compound always praise you when they talk about you.

Those kids even regard you as their idol. Many of them say that when they grow up, they want to be a great doctor like you. The kids in your school won’t be so naughty and will study harder.”

Having a good role model saved parents a lot of trouble. Everyone praised Song Zhiyao from time to time, and some parents even posted her photos that appeared in newspapers at home.

After listening to what Grandpa Liang said, it’s no wonder that the neighbors I met on the road just now were more enthusiastic than before. It turns out there are these stories.

She doesn’t care about other people’s enthusiasm or not. It’s gratifying that the children can study seriously. She feels a little touched and is very happy to be someone else’s idol.

Soon the two of them arrived home, chatting and laughing. Uncle Liang put down his things and went back to work.

The three people in the room heard the noise and hurried out to see that Song Zhiyao had returned. Song Ruyun and Song Zihao ran directly to her. Song Ruyun was holding a bag in one hand and holding Song Zhiyao's hand with the other.

Song Zihao carried in the remaining two heavier bags, while Lai Yanling quickly made a cup of malted milk and placed it on the table. After Song Zhiyao came in, she began to help her pack things.

As soon as she got home, she didn't have to do anything by herself. The thoughtful care from her family made Song Zhiyao feel even happier.

After everything was sorted, Lai Yanling quickly brought her a bucket of hot water, "Zhiyao, wash your face and soak your feet first. You can eat after you've warmed up."

Her younger brother and sister also sat beside her with a stool. Song Ruyun chattered, "Sister, you are in for a treat. Mom bought a fish today and just now she said she wanted to make spicy boiled fish, a dish made in the southwest."

After staying in Longling Village for so long, I missed the food at home very much. When I heard the name of spicy boiled fish, although I had never eaten it, I knew it was spicy and numb. I swallowed my saliva and my stomach started to growl.

The two siblings who came over laughed loudly and did not forget to mock her, "Hahaha, the eldest sister swallows her saliva when she talks about food."

Seeing the two of them laughing so loudly, Song Zhiyao pretended to be angry and said through gritted teeth, "Are you two itching for trouble? How dare you make fun of your sister now."

They were both smart people and knew at a glance that Song Zhiyao was not angry and was just teasing them on purpose.

"Hehehe, we just rarely see you like this, so we laughed a little louder, but we didn't say anything wrong just now." Song Ruyun continued to laugh at her with a fearless look.

But at this time Song Zihao said, "Sister, I didn't mean to laugh at you just now. I was led astray by Song Ruyun."

After saying that, he did not forget to stick out his tongue at Song Ruyun who was standing beside him. He wanted to get the chance to embarrass her and he did not want to miss it.

Understanding his intention, Song Zhiyao thought of what Uncle Liang had said before and decided to teach this daring sister a lesson, so she cooperated with Song Zihao very much.

"The younger brother is still obedient. The younger sister has grown up and has her own ideas. She even dares to laugh at her sister. I wonder where she learned this disrespectful attitude?" Song Zhiyao said this expressionlessly.

Song Ruyun, who was originally planning to beat Song Zihao, was afraid to say a word when she heard Song Zhiyao's tone. Why was she so serious? It didn't seem like a joke.

My sister shouldn't be so stingy, right? Did she get upset? She just came back and didn't say much. Did she know about the street stall? Song Ruyun's mind worked quickly, and she guessed the cause and effect at once. A trace of panic flashed across her face. She didn't want to ruin her image in Song Zhiyao's mind.

"Sister, sister, listen to me, I have my reasons for doing this," Song Ruyun explained nervously.

Lai Yanling on the side began to mock, "Are you nervous now? When you were secretly setting up a stall, you yelled at me, but now that your sister is back you don't dare to be arrogant?"

"Mom, Song Ruyun is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. She acts arrogantly in front of us, but is like a little lamb in front of big sister. Look, she doesn't even dare to say a word now." Song Zihao also began to add insult to injury ruthlessly.

He was also very worried at the time, so he hoped that Song Ruyun would learn her lesson. Song Zhiyao was the only one who could control her, so he would naturally not miss the opportunity to let his elder sister discipline her.

After the two of them finished talking, Song Ruyun looked at Song Zhiyao nervously, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

But she looked at Song Ruyun with an expressionless face, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking. The more she looked like this, the more frightening it became.

Seeing that she had a cold face and didn't speak, Song Ruyun's heart began to beat.
