She regretted it as soon as she saw Luo Weijia making things difficult for Zhang Qinghua in the morning, and didn't dare to do it again in the afternoon...
When they got home, everyone was exhausted and sat on the only bench in the house, which had one leg that was loose, not wanting to move.
This is really exhausting! Working this high-intensity workload every day, Song Lili feels incredibly lucky to have persevered.
She thought that she should use her brain and, within all permissible limits, get rid of the land, or get rid of the backbreaking labor of earning work points. That should be her next goal.
Fortunately, she already had a plan...
"Big Brother, if we want to sell the vegetables we can't finish, who should we sell them to?"
Song Lili knew that there was no free market yet, and private buying and selling was probably not allowed, so she needed to find out.
"Huh? Who wants to sell? These days, are there still people who can't finish their vegetables?" Song Yongren exclaimed in surprise.
The economic hardship and hunger have just passed, and now some people have an endless supply of food?
Song Lili was speechless. She asked, "Is it certain that someone will want to sell? This is just doing my homework beforehand..."
"It's no one's home, I'm just asking..."
"Of course we're selling the supply and marketing cooperative! Are you stupid? Don't you even know that?" Song Jianshe rolled his eyes at Song Lili, feeling that she was just making fun of him.
This is something everyone knows, yet you're asking about it.
And so serious!
Song Lili felt wronged; she really didn't know!
"Hmph, of course I know. We were just chatting, why are you taking it so seriously?" Song Lili hid her sudden fright and said irritably.
"You're just bored, aren't you? Why don't you go cook dinner? I'm starving..."
“Why don’t you go? I’m hungry and tired too,” Song Lili retorted.
"Alright, alright, you two stop bickering. I'll go cook rice; it'll be ready in a bit," Song Yongren quickly tried to mediate.
Ever since Lili kowtowed last time, her personality has changed; she's started arguing with Jianshe.
However, this girl looks much more energetic.
Song Lili quickly got up. "I'll help. More people means faster..." She couldn't let Song Yongren go alone; he had already worked all day.
Song Jianshe also stood up and said, "I'll start the fire," and then went into the kitchen first.
"Fangfang, go pick three or four cucumbers from the yard. We'll make a cucumber salad." Song Lili ordered Song Fang.
"Sis, let's not go, they're still too small to eat. Let's wait a bit, don't waste them..."
Song Lili retorted angrily, "How is it a waste? Is eating it a waste? Aren't cucumbers grown for eating?"
Does it mean that cucumbers are only considered worthless once they've grown too old and lost their crispness? At that point, they're like shavings, what's so delicious about them?
"I think Fangfang is right, you shouldn't ruin those cucumbers!" Song Jianshe said from the kitchen.
Song Lili puffed out her cheeks, "What kind of people are these? Why can't I eat cucumbers no matter what?"
Song Lili decided to have a serious talk with the two of them: if you have food, eat it; why leave it uneaten?
"Fangfang, go ahead. Everyone's been tired these days. Have something good to eat." Before Song Lili could speak, Song Yongren spoke up.
He also wanted to give the children good things, but he didn't have them before and there was nothing he could do. Now that he has some in his yard, he just wanted to take care of the children.
Song Lili immediately raised her head high like a victorious rooster, with an expression that said, "I've won."
"That's right, cucumbers that are too old can only be thrown away, so it's better to eat them while they're still young!" Cucumbers that are too old really don't taste good.
As she spoke, she ran off quickly toward the vegetable garden.
Song Jianshe was furious. "Big Brother, why do you always spoil Lili? How can she eat those things now?"
This year's work points were already low, so the allocated food would definitely not be enough to eat. We might have to send some more to Grandma.
Although cucumbers don't keep you full, they're still better than starving when there's no food!
Why did the leader agree?
“Jianshe, Lili is right, we should eat it now. We’ll figure out another way later.” Song Yongren was also feeling bad.
He knew what his son was worried about, and he also knew why he did it.
However, as the father of his three children, he also wanted to give his children the best.
Now, Lily wants to eat cucumbers. There are still some available, so why won't he agree? He can't bear to!
As for running out of food in the future, we'll figure out a solution then!
"Big Brother..." Song Jianshe was angry, but there was nothing he could do. He blamed Song Lili in his heart for suddenly being so insensible.
Song Fang timidly tugged at Song Jianshe's sleeve. "Brother, don't be angry. I...I want to eat too..." Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
