Song Lili couldn't help but think, "It's just a glass bottle, why don't you go find one yourself? What's the point of taking someone else's?"
However, all she could do was vent her anger and vent her frustration here.
She doesn't even know who took it, so how can she tell them?
Finally, Zhang Qinghua reluctantly came over, took her hand and warmed it, saying, "Alright, I'll go back and find you another one."
They've all been taken away, what else can we do?
Song Lili stormed off, still remembering her glass bottle even after finishing her meal.
"How can this person have such low manners? They won't even let a glass bottle go, have they no shame?" She angrily blew on the blanket.
Zhang Qinghua pulled her down to lie down. "Alright, go to sleep for a while. You have an exam this afternoon." He didn't want to talk about the bottle anymore.
Thinking about it, I'll find her another one later.
When Song Lili woke up, Zhang Qinghua had found some glass bottles from somewhere, and they were filled with hot water.
"This bottle is yours, hurry up and go. We're running out of time." Zhang Qinghua pulled Song Lili out the door.
Song Lili hugged the warm bottle, having just gotten out of bed, her body still warm.
The slight discomfort in my heart has faded away.
She followed Zhang Qinghua, muttering to herself, "I'll definitely put it where I can see it this afternoon. Let's see who dares to take it this time." In her heart, she was still resentful.
Zhang Qinghua found it amusing and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Even if he really loses it, he can find another one.
However, it's not appropriate to say that now.
The afternoon exam went smoothly, and Song Lili's bottle was not taken away again; she successfully retrieved it back to the guesthouse.
She held the bottle, saying, "Luckily, I kept a close eye on it this time, and it's still there."
Zhang Qinghua shook his head. Only Lili would act like that, who else would?
But seeing that she was happy, I didn't say anything more. As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.
The exam went smoothly the next day, and after the exam, none of the three stayed any longer; they checked out of the hotel at noon.
As soon as the exam was over, Song Lili immediately took a bus back to Hongqi Village. She missed her child.
As for going home, when Zhang Shengtian asked how the exam went, Song Lili only said, "That's fine, anyway, the exam is over."
Even if you feel regret or anger, it's useless. Now, you just have to wait for the result.
Song Lili thought to herself, there are still several months before the report, should she... tinker with something to earn travel expenses for everyone?
The more she thought about it, the better she felt it was, and she immediately put it into action the next day.
She didn't intend to do anything complicated; she just wanted to make chili sauce, deliver it to the supply and marketing cooperative, and see if anyone wanted it.
If Wang Daming doesn't want it, he can leave it with the supply and marketing cooperative to sell on his behalf, and the cooperative will get a commission.
Once she was ready, she decided to ask Wang Daming first; if that didn't work, she could sell it outside.
After all, business is now allowed outside.
Lin Xue had nothing to do at home, so she helped Song Lili, and the two sisters-in-law were very busy.
The remaining three grown men became the babysitters, following the three boys around all day, which looked quite amusing.
Song Lili did some things first, then went to find Wang Daming.
Wang Daming did not take the college entrance examination. He thought the job at the supply and marketing cooperative was good and planned to work there in the future.
Upon seeing the chili sauce that Song Lili brought, Wang Daming's eyes lit up. "Is this for me?"
"You wish! I'm planning to sell this for money. Do you buy it here?"
Wang Daming was in a dilemma, as he had never accepted this chili sauce before.
Seeing his predicament, Song Lili knew it probably wouldn't work. "Then... how about I ship it to you to sell? I'll give you a share of the profits."
Anyway, whether she sells a lot or a little is her business; Wang Daming only provides the venue and manpower and doesn't have to bear any risks.
"Then you can try putting it here, but I don't know if it will sell." After all, this has never happened before.
Song Lili understood.
"It's okay, just consider it a test. It's fine if no one wants it." She'll figure out another way.
Besides, the family isn't completely broke. She just doesn't want to be idle, and on the other hand, she thinks that having more money makes everyone feel more at ease.
That's why they started selling chili sauce.
"I'll take some first, I just really like eating this," Wang Daming said with a smile.
He liked it from the first time he ate it, and whenever it ran out, he would ask Song Lili for more.
"Are you deliberately mocking me? Do you need money to give it to me? You've taken quite a bit over the years, have you paid me?" Song Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This guy always gets free meals and drinks, and now he's talking about money?
"Hehe," Wang Daming chuckled awkwardly, "I...I just suddenly remembered."
He was thinking of giving money because he knew that if Lili and the others got into university, they would need money to go to school.
Otherwise, who would have thought of giving money?
Song Lili rolled her eyes at Wang Daming again. "Alright, put away your thoughts. I'm not that poor yet."
“If it really comes to that, I’ll still take the money even if you don’t say anything.” After all, she’s not the kind of person who holds on for the sake of saving face.
"That's good. Since you've said so, I won't stand on ceremony." Upon hearing this, Wang Daming immediately reverted to his previous demeanor.
Song Lili pointed at him and said, "Then you'd better put some effort into selling more bottles, and I'll give you some more next time."
"Okay, it's settled then." Wang Daming readily agreed; he just loved spicy food.
After making the arrangements with Wang Daming, Song Lili went home.
"Sister-in-law, how did it go?" Lin Xue asked immediately upon returning home. Having been personally involved, she was eager to know the results.
“Put them at the supply and marketing cooperative and let Wang Daming help sell them. I’ll give him a share of the profits.”
"I see." Although Lin Xue was somewhat disappointed, she still held onto hope.
Since they didn't outright refuse, there's still a chance.
For the next two months, Song Lili and Lin Xue made all sorts of sauces and then sold them.
If a product sells more, we'll make more of it; if it sells less, we'll make less of it or stop making it altogether.
The supply and marketing cooperative has been providing supplies all along, and they themselves also go there.
Zhang Qinghua was worried, so he would go with them every time, leaving Zhang Qingguo and Zhang Shengtian to take care of the child.
By the time the New Year arrived that year, the results of the college entrance examination had been released.
Their schools all accept applications in advance, so if they didn't get in, they'll just have to wait and see if they receive an acceptance letter.
The three of them discussed it and all applied to universities in the capital.
Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua applied to Capital University, while Zhang Qingguo, worried that his grades weren't good enough, applied to the Polytechnic University, which was also in Capital University.
It's almost Chinese New Year, and they're anxiously waiting for their acceptance letters. Once the letters arrive, it means they've passed the exam.
However, the longer you wait, the more anxious you become, the more agonizing it feels, and the longer the time seems to drag on.
