Song Lili, who was leaving, had no idea that two elderly people were talking about her; she was still thinking about sending Yang Mei brown sugar.
When she got home, she was met with Wang Daming's somewhat resentful eyes. "Song Lili, you went too far. You left me at home and went out all afternoon by yourself."
Song Lili waved her hand helplessly, "I had something to do, I didn't mean it. Besides, I asked Fangfang to play with you."
Speaking of this, Wang Daming became even angrier: "Your sister completely ignores me and just does her homework. It's so boring."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but complain, "Your sister is really not like you. She's so quiet, and not as scary as you." He spoke the last two words in a small voice.
Song Lili didn't hear clearly, "What did you say at the end?"
"Ah... I said your sister is good." Wang Daming smiled sheepishly, revealing a set of big white teeth.
Song Lili rolled her eyes. She could tell from his expression that he hadn't said anything nice. Otherwise, why would he be so guilty?
However, she didn't intend to pursue the matter further, and rolled her eyes at Wang Daming, saying, "Of course, my sister is of course wonderful."
"Are you going to cook? I need to go back to town after I finish eating, so please cook it sooner rather than later," Wang Daming said somewhat obsequiously.
"No, I have to deliver something to the brigade. I'll do it when I get back." Song Lili refused decisively. It was only four or five o'clock, too early.
"What? You're going out again? When are you coming back? You promised to do it, you can't go back on your word, you can't just brush me off like that." Wang Daming jumped up in a strong reaction.
Song Lili's eyelids twitched. Her forehead was covered in black lines. "Did I tell you I wouldn't do it? I promised I would, so I definitely will."
“But…but you still have to go to the First Brigade.” Wang Daming said, feeling very aggrieved.
"I'm just delivering something, it'll be quick, I'll be back in an hour, just in time to cook. Don't worry, it won't delay you."
"Then...then I'll go with you." Wang Daming was still a little worried about Song Lili, and finally asked hesitantly.
“You…” Song Lili was truly speechless. Did she really look like someone who didn’t keep their word?
But looking at Wang Daming's expression, he said with a headache, "Fine, you can come with me." Anyway, he knew Daqing.
In the past, when Wang Daming was harvesting vegetables, he became familiar with Daqing and the others, so it should be fine to bring them along, right?
When Song Lili arrived at the brigade with brown sugar and Wang Daming, Yang Mei was taking a walk in front of her house. Her eyes lit up when she saw Song Lili.
"Lili, what brings you here?" She walked over quickly, her belly protruding.
Concerned, Song Lili rushed over to support Yang Mei, saying, "I came to see you. How have you been these past few days?"
"I'm fine. I can eat and sleep well, and the kids don't bother me. I'm just feeling a bit bored, so I came out for a walk," Yang Mei said with a smile.
Wang Daming chimed in, "So it's Yang Mei, you're pregnant! No wonder Lili was in such a hurry."
"Wang Daming? What brings you here?" Yang Mei asked in surprise.
"I came to see Lili today, and she said she wanted to see you, so I came along with her." Wang Daming smiled broadly.
Song Lili turned her head, feeling that this person was truly unbearable to look at. How could he have the nerve to say such a thing? She really wished she didn't know him; his skin was just too thick.
However, Yang Mei was very happy. "That's great! Let's go home right away." With that, she warmly led the two of them home.
After walking for a while, I suddenly asked, "Why is Lili in such a hurry?"
She asked me if I could...
"Let's go back first," Song Lili interrupted Wang Daming, not wanting others to hear that she could get brown sugar.
It's best to keep this kind of thing a secret if possible. If others find out, what will she do if they ask her to make brown sugar in the future?
"Okay," Wang Daming also realized that the occasion was inappropriate, and nodded with a smile, seemingly without any temper.
Several people entered the house, and the Li family members were all there. The two quickly greeted them.
Because of the previous rain, almost everyone in Hongqi Village had returned. Now that the rain has stopped, they are either standing outside chatting or chatting as a family.
"Why is Lili here?" Li Weiguo asked with a smile.
Song Lili said generously, "Uncle Li, I brought some things for Sister Yang Mei. I think she's about to give birth. She should be able to use them."
"Thank you very much, child. You've gone to so much trouble for me." Li Weiguo accepted the gift with a smile without asking anything.
Daqing, on the other hand, was quicker. He pulled it out of the cloth bag and exclaimed in surprise, "Lili, you actually bought brown sugar? Where did it come from? Do you have any more?"
This is truly an unexpected surprise.
Daqing had been trying to buy brown sugar for a long time, but he couldn't find it. The supply and marketing cooperative didn't have it either, and he went to many places but still couldn't find it.
So I've been trying to figure out what to use to help Yangmei recover from childbirth.
But to his surprise, Song Lili came like a timely rain, relieving his urgent problem. It was like someone bringing him a pillow when he was sleepy.
Li Weiguo was also surprised. Looking at the brown sugar in Daqing's hand, he felt a mix of emotions, including joy and elation.
The complicated part is that he didn't expect Song Lili to be so kind to Yang Mei; she even managed to get such a rare thing as brown sugar for Yang Mei.
To his delight, Song Lili's feelings for Yang Mei eased his initial worries.
With Song Lili around, his child should be fine. Even if something does happen, Song Lili will find a way to resolve it.
He trusted Song Lili completely.
So his smile deepened. "Thank you so much. We were really worried about where to get brown sugar, and you just happened to bring it to us."
“This is exactly what Meimei needs, so I won’t stand on ceremony with you. If you need any help in the future, just let me know.”
Daqing chimed in, "Yes, Lili, if you need help, contact me. Oh, and Qinghua too, I'll help you with both."
Song Lili glared at Daqing. "Can't you speak properly? If you can't, then shut up. Can't you see there are many people here?"
What good would it do for Daqing to reveal her relationship with Zhang Qinghua?
Then, her eyes crinkled with laughter, "Okay, I understand. If I ever need any help in the future, I won't hesitate to ask you for help, Uncle."
Moreover, she'll need to rely on this secretary in the future, so building a good relationship now is very important!
The items were delivered, so Song Lili didn't linger. "Uncle, you're busy, I'll be going now. My family is waiting for me to cook."
Most importantly, she had an annoying guy following her around who had urged her several times already, making her so irritated she wanted to hit him.
If she didn't say she wanted to go back soon, Wang Daming might drag her away, so she shouldn't embarrass him.
"Stay home for dinner. Let your aunt cook a few dishes," Li Weiguo urged.
"Uncle, maybe next time. I have something to discuss with Wang Daming. Let's eat together another time when we have time," Song Lili declined.
Li Weiguo then let them go. "Alright then, you must stay for dinner next time."
