When the pears are green

After Song Li cleaned up the kitchen, she went to the room to see little Zhang You.

Little Zhang You likes Song Li very much, and Song Li likes him as well. When little Zhang You saw Song Li coming in, he broke away from Xia Lin's arms and insisted on being held by Song Li.

Xia Lin felt embarrassed at first and held little Zhang You. Song Li said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay. Just let me hold him. You won't get tired if I hold him for a while." Only then did Xia Lin hand little Zhang You to Song Li's arms.

After holding little Zhang You for a while, Song Li put him on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and played games with him, while Xia Lin and Song Yue watched from the side.

Xia Lin said to Song Li, "Sister Xiaoli, Brother Dahu is so lucky to marry you." Song Li smiled at Xia Lin, said nothing, and continued to play games with Xiao Zhangyou.

Happy times always pass quickly, and before they knew it, it was time for them to go back.

Ruyi ran into the room and said to Song Li and the others, "Sister-in-law, mother said it's time to go back. She asked me to call you."

Xia Lin picked up little Zhang You from the bed as soon as she heard it. Little Zhang You looked at his aunt, then at his mother, and seemed to know that he was going home, so he stretched out his hands for Song Li to hold him. Song Li smiled and picked him up, and followed behind Song Yue and the others.

When Song Li and the others arrived at the door, Jiang and the others were already there. Zhang Jixiang came forward to take little Zhang You over, and Zhang and Jiang were still talking about something.

Song Li pretended to glance at Jiang Qingzhou casually. After seeing that Jiang Qingzhou's complexion had returned to normal, Song Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Qingzhou felt Song Li's gaze and quickly glanced at her. After Song Li felt Jiang Qingzhou's gaze, she immediately started talking to Ruyi, pretending not to see it.

Because the gate of Song Li's house was narrow and it was difficult for the ox cart to enter, Song Changhe asked Zhang Peng to put the ox cart at Song Ershun's house.

When Song Li saw Song Changhe and Zhang Peng slowly approaching from behind, pulling a ox cart, she knew it was time to say goodbye.

Zhang and Song Changhe did not return home until Jiang and the others had gone far away.

Song Changhe was a little drunk. He said to Zhang: "Xiangxiang, I'm going to sleep for a while. You can talk to the eldest girl yourself. Anyway, the eldest girl doesn't like me."

Zhang asked Song Changhe to go into the house quickly. As Song Changhe walked, he looked at Song Li with resentment and said, "This girl just holds a grudge. She said she forgave me, but she didn't forgive me in her heart." Zhang was afraid that there would be another conflict between father and daughter, so she quickly pulled Song Changhe away.

Song Li watched Zhang holding the staggering Song Dahe, and she said loudly: "Dad, I didn't. I am your daughter and you are my father. I don't bear grudges. I am just old."

After hearing this, Song Changhe actually started to cry, and while crying, he asked for a hug for Song Li. Zhang grabbed him and said, "Your daughter is old, and you, as her father, still think she is a child. You are really drunk. Go back quickly!" After that, she asked Song Xing to help drag Song Changhe in.

Song Li looked at the funny scene in front of her, laughing and shedding tears at the same time.

Song Li quickly wiped away her tears, and soon, Zhang and Song Xing came out. Zhang asked Song Yue and Song Xing to go back to their room to sleep for a while, and she talked to Song Li first.

Zhang led Song Li into the main room, pointed to the cloth on the table, and told her that it was brought by Jiang Qingzhou. Song Li touched it casually and said nothing.

Zhang sat on the chair with a sad face and sighed. Song Li saw it and asked hurriedly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang looked at her and said: "Xiao Li, tell me the truth, do you not like Jiang Dahu?"

This question made Song Li stunned. Song Li thought to herself: This is the marriage you have decided on. What's the point of asking me if I like it now?

Song Li sorted out her emotions and said, "Mom, how can I put this? I can only say that I don't hate it!"

Zhang said, "Xiao Li, you are such a good child, it is a bit unfair for you to marry Jiang Dahu. I think it is because their family has no elders, so it is a bit hard, but who doesn't have hardship now? But at least they don't have to be bullied by their elders. You also saw today that your eldest sister-in-law is usually a good person, but she sometimes makes a face to your sister-in-law from time to time. When your grandmother was alive, she wanted to take yours, occupy yours, and everything she wanted was hers."

Zhang wiped her tears while talking, Song Li quickly comforted her, "Mom, please stop crying. I know you are doing this for my own good. You are afraid that I will be bullied. I also met Jiang Dahu today. He seems to be a very hard-working person. Life is not something that can be lived after just a glance at each other. It takes two people to live it out slowly. Mom, please don't think too much."

After listening to Song Li's words, Zhang slowly stopped crying. She wiped her tears and said, "Your father told Jiang Dahu today that he doesn't need to pay too much for the bride price. Just give it about the same as other girls in the village."

After all, this matter was not something Song Li could decide for herself, so she didn't say anything, but just nodded to show that she understood.

Zhang continued, "Your father will go out to work with your second master in a few days. Three days from now is a good day, so let them come and deliver the betrothal gifts to settle the matter. Your eldest sister-in-law said that she would find someone to calculate a suitable day for the wedding, and then even the date will be settled."

Song Li still nodded and said nothing. Zhang said a few more words and let Song Li go out.
