"Sisi, thank you for thinking of me, but... I'm worried I'll mess things up!"

Li Wenhui felt a strong urge to try it, but her mind was full of concerns.

The main problem is a lack of self-confidence.

From a young age, her parents always complained that she was good at nothing but eating.

He wasn't as quick at farm work as others, but he studied very hard, yet he didn't even get into high school.

Later, as soon as she turned eighteen, she was introduced to Cheng Yong from the same village by a matchmaker. The two fell in love at first sight. They hit it off immediately, and she naturally got married and followed the army to Jiangcheng.

Shen Sisi also got anxious: "You haven't even tried, how do you know you'll mess it up?"

"I've never been good at anything since I was a child. I've never accomplished anything in my life, but I'm a real glutton!"

In the parlance of their hometown, she was a typical example of someone who was lazy and loved to eat.

Chen Sisi picked up a uniform dumpling wrapper, then looked at the cured meat and sausages hanging at her door, as well as dried sweet potatoes, dried radishes, and the like. She thought, "This isn't just good at nothing, this is amazing!"

"Sister Wenhui, how can you lie through your teeth? All the food in this yard was made by your skillful hands. Even the chefs at the state-run restaurants don't have your skills!"

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

Chen Sisi nodded solemnly: "Of course..."

Li Wenhui's originally dim eyes instantly filled with stars. Apart from her brother Yong, no one had ever praised her like this before. Perhaps, she really could do it?

Right now, the family is facing a financial crisis and needs money everywhere. If she could find a job with flexible hours, she would do anything, even for 5 yuan a month, let alone 10 yuan a month.

"Okay, then thank you..."

Li Wenhui's smile was so wide it seemed to reach the sky, and she visibly became much more sunny and confident.

Sisi trusts her, so she has to follow along and learn properly so she can gather the herbs well.

Shen Sisi was also very happy and made an appointment with her to go to the back mountain together the next morning to teach her to identify the herbs.

"Okay, then it's settled..."

Chen Sisi had things to do and didn't have time to sit idly any longer.

Seeing that she was rushing around and carrying a child, Li Wenhui thought it must be quite tiring for her, so she suggested that she leave the child there and that she would cook meat dumplings for the child.

After a moment's hesitation, seeing that the little girl's tiny eyes were practically glued to the dumpling filling, Sisi softly asked her, "Niu Niu, would you like to stay at Auntie's house?"

Niu Niu nodded blankly, then let out a soft hum through her little nose: "Mmm!"

"Little glutton..." Shen Sisi reached out and gently pinched the little guy's red nose: "With something delicious to eat, you don't even want your mother anymore."

"Yes..." Niu Niu noticed her mother's disappointment, cupped her face in her hands, and leaned in to kiss her fragrant mother.

Shen Sisi's heart was melting. The little guy is so young, but he has a whole repertoire of ways to coax people.

Seeing how close the mother and daughter were, Li Wenhui's eyes revealed envy.

If her child is still alive, he would be about two or three years old.

She'll definitely be just as adorable as Niu Niu, always hugging her neck and calling out "Mama, Mama..."

"Don't worry, Sisi, I can take good care of Niu Niu. I'll make dumplings for her later."

Shen Sisi was going to the dock next, and it was indeed inconvenient to bring the child with her: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll try my best to be back before noon."

“It’s okay… If you’re busy in the future, just leave Niu Niu with me. I’m just sitting here doing nothing anyway, and having a child around will make me happier.”

Shen Sisi noticed that the way she looked at Niu Niu was different; it was genuine affection. So she didn't refuse anymore: "Okay, then I'll trouble you to take care of her..."

After leaving Li Wenhui's house, Chen Sisi rushed to the dock to find Wang Xiaodao.

More than a hundred bottles of medicinal oil—that's a considerable amount of oil needed.

You should buy through official channels; otherwise, you'll not only find that you don't have enough fuel coupons, but you'll also incur additional costs.

Including the two employees hired today, the base salary is 20 yuan, so she has to control the cost carefully.

Soon, she saw Wang Xiaodao. Just like last time, he was heavily pregnant and looked like a two-legged turtle, ordering his men around.

"Brother Dao!" Shen Sisi stepped forward to greet him in a generous manner, causing quite a stir as soon as she appeared.

"What a beautiful young girl..."

"Never seen anything like it before..."

"So fair and clean-cut, what are you doing at our dock, looking for Brother Dao..."

Everyone stopped working and just stood there watching the beautiful women!

Undeterred by everyone's stares, Chen Sisi walked straight up to Wang Xiaodao.

She looked so beautiful when she smiled, with red lips and white teeth, her face glowing like a peach blossom, making Wang Xiaodao's heart flutter.

He quickly straightened his clothes, his tone unconsciously becoming more assertive: "Young lady, it's you..."

She walked three or four steps away from him, then suddenly stopped, maintaining a social distance: "Brother Dao, that oil last time was really good. I wanted to ask you where that little workshop is..."

"So much oil has been used up?" Wang Xiaodao asked in surprise.

“Yes!” Shen Sisi didn’t intend to waste any more words with him, and directly took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to him: “Brother Dao, please do me a favor.”

Wang Xiaodao touched the square cigarette box in his hand. This little girl is quite savvy.

He tossed the box in his hand, looking very troubled: "Well... it's not that I don't want to help you, but that small workshop is about to be transferred; the owner is quitting."

"What?" Shen Sisi's heart clenched: "Didn't we send you soybean oil last time to promote it? Why did you stop?"
