The days ahead will be even harder.
Ignoring Li Qinghua's ever-changing expression, Song Lili asked directly, "Do you know who is on good terms with Luo Weijia and Xu Youcai and might be able to help them?"
Otherwise, if a helper suddenly appears, it will catch you off guard, so it's better to find out the details now.
Song Lili had thought it through very clearly last night. She could only take it one step at a time, slowly, and finish it before the disaster struck.
In other words, Song Lili gave herself two years to complete this task.
This is why Li Qinghua was puzzled as to why Song Lili didn't do anything after the three of them talked, and instead went to work in the fields.
Because she still needs a stepping stone.
That day, Song Lili took Song Fang to town on a day when it had rained the night before and they couldn't go out to work.
Song Fang is still reluctant to talk. She's fine with her family, but becomes very nervous around strangers. She gets scared if the voice is even slightly loud.
However, it's better when family members are with you.
This is also why Song Lili brought her along – to give her a sense of security and let her know that her family is always there for her.
Perhaps, given time, Song Fang will get better.
Song Lili is going to buy plastic sheeting today; she wants to rebuild the greenhouse.
Now that free buying and selling is not allowed, she can only improve her current life by using her private plot of land and the rule that the produce grown there is hers.
Farmers usually get up very early, even now in winter when there's no work in the fields, everyone is still used to getting up early.
This made Song Lili, a modern person who is used to staying up late and sleeping in, very uncomfortable for a long time.
Thanks to the exhausting work, her unhealthy lifestyle has become the same as the people here, with the habit of going to bed early and waking up early.
So, the two sisters walked to town early in the morning before the sun rose and before the temperature got too high.
The town's supply and marketing cooperative was still closed; it wasn't open yet.
Song Lili took Song Fang for a casual stroll to see how Hongqi Town in the 1950s and 60s differed from what it was like later.
As soon as the supply and marketing cooperative opened its doors, Song Lili immediately pulled Song Fang inside; they were the cooperative's first customers.
Jin Xia arrived and was tidying up the things on the counter when she saw Song Lili come in. She immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Lili is here? Is she here to buy something or to see Director Wang? He hasn't arrived yet. If you're looking for him, you'll have to wait a while."
"I'm not here to see your director, I'm here to buy something, Sister Jin. Do you still have plastic sheeting? I'm here to buy plastic sheeting today."
"Yes, yes, yes, you bought all of those last time, so Director Wang found a way to get some more plastic sheeting."
"I was just wondering why no one would buy this plastic sheeting. It was just gathering dust. I didn't expect you to come and buy it in just a few days. Director Wang is really amazing."
Song Lili curled her lip. Wang Daming, that shrewd businessman, really has a talent for doing business. He seized the opportunity perfectly.
This must have been something he did after the last time he escaped the thief, seeing that her greenhouse was destroyed, and he must have prepared for it early on, also expecting her to do it again.
Song Lili mentally complained for a long time, but she didn't dislike Wang Daming's approach; he was clever.
"Sister Jin, do you have ten meters of plastic sheeting for me this time?" Song Lili asked instead of answering Jin Xia's question.
She plans to make more this time, since these vegetables won't be worth much when summer comes.
Spring comes late in the Northwest, but summer arrives on time, giving people the feeling that spring has barely arrived before summer begins.
Song Lili intends to use this time to sell another batch of cabbages, after which she will stop growing cabbages.
When Jin Xia heard that Song Lili wanted to buy so much, she was surprised and her eyes widened. A moment later, she smiled and went to get the items.
This young girl is now very familiar with the director, and she doesn't dare to say anything offensive, for fear that the director will find out.
As long as she could afford it and had the money, she wouldn't be so tactless; she just thought she should definitely tell the director when he arrived.
Jin Xia was very efficient this time; she gave Song Lili an extra half meter of the ten-meter plastic sheet.
Song Lili smiled and accepted, saying that she would bring Jin Jie more vegetables as a return gift next time she came here to buy things.
After finishing these tasks, Song Lili left quickly without waiting for Wang Daming, as she had no need to meet him at the moment.
She went home very casually, to enslave Song Jianshe as her free laborer, unaware that Wang Daming, who came to work, was anxious.
Wang Daming was furious in the supply and marketing cooperative: "Why didn't you ask her to stay a little longer? I had something to tell her."
Jin Xia was scared, so she shrank her neck and answered, "Director... Director, Lili said she wouldn't look for you, but I... I asked her."
Wang Daming was even angrier. "Song Lili is a heartless person. Of course she won't contact me if she has nothing to do. She has no vegetables to sell, so of course she won't contact me."
“But I need to find her. She’s like an ancestor now. I need her to sell cabbages for me. Of course, I’ll keep her around.”
Wang Daming has been terrified of dealing with his cousin these past few days. Now, every time his cousin calls, the first thing he asks is when the cabbage will be available.
Because of this, he didn't dare go home for the Spring Festival and stayed alone in Hongqi Town, spending a tasteless and uninteresting year.
Was it easy for him?
He was planning to find Song Lili in the next few days to ask her to start planting vegetables again, but he didn't expect his stupid employee to let her go. How could he not be angry?
Wang Daming was furious and anxious. In the end, he could only sigh and suppress all his emotions.
