Huang Lili knew that she had misunderstood Song Li's meaning, so she touched her nose awkwardly. However, she was more confident than Song Li at this moment. She stood straight and said confidently, "I believe that little sister Song will open a factory soon."

I don't know who gave her the confidence.

She obviously treated it as a joke at the beginning.

"I'm relying on my sister-in-law's good wishes." To be honest, Song Li herself didn't have as much confidence as Huang Lili.

Song Lijia did not go back either. She and Huang Lili each took a small basket and picked all the roses in the flowerbed.

This is the best time to pick roses.

After picking the roses, Song Li left a small portion to dry naturally, and planned to use the remaining roses to make rose jam.

The most important ingredient for making rose cake is rose paste.

There are not many ingredients needed to make rose jam, and fortunately Huang Lili has them all at home.

Song Li and Huang Lili worked in the kitchen for a whole morning and finally finished a can of rose jam. However, the rose jam could not be used yet and had to be sealed and stored for half a month before it could be used.

In this way, the time for making rose cakes will be delayed.

Song Li was not in a hurry. She wanted to take advantage of this half month to plan her future development and learn cooking at the same time.

She has been eating for free for two days. If she doesn't cook, she won't be ashamed to eat at Director Huang's house.

"Sister-in-law, I want to take advantage of this time to plan the future work and improve my cooking skills. I know that the sister-in-law in our courtyard is a good cook, and I want to learn from her."

Huang Lili glanced at Song Li and asked in confusion, "Improve your cooking skills?"

Song Li was embarrassed to say that she couldn't cook. She said with a guilty conscience, "Sister-in-law, I can only cook simple meals."

Huang Lili always felt that the simplicity Song Li mentioned was not simple at all. She asked, "What kind of food can you cook?"

Song Li said calmly, "Cook noodles and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Huang Lili looked at Song Li expectantly, "Anything else?"

Song Li shook her head.

Huang Lili: “…” It’s indeed quite simple.

"Sister-in-law is good at cooking. Why don't you learn from her?" Huang Lili didn't dare to introduce other people to Song Li.

She dared to guarantee that as soon as she found a sister-in-law with good cooking skills for Song Li, the rumor that Song Li couldn't cook would spread to everyone.

In order to prevent Song Li from becoming the topic of the family compound, Huang Lili plans to teach Song Li how to cook herself.

It was almost noon and she was going to start making lunch.

"Okay, I'm going to make lunch. You and I should learn one or two dishes first."

It was almost time for dinner, and Song Li was actually embarrassed to stay.

But Huang Lili did not give her a chance to refuse and pulled her towards the vegetable garden in the backyard.

Huang Lili's vegetable garden is very large and grows many kinds of vegetables.

"Sister Song, what dish do you want to learn to cook? As long as it's in the vegetable garden, your sister-in-law can cook it." Huang Lili pointed at the vegetables in the garden and said confidently.

She is not bragging, her cooking skills are really good. If she is not ranked first in the family compound, she must be ranked second.

Song Li wanted to learn a simple dish first. Fortunately, there was a big eggplant in front of her. "Sister-in-law, let's learn to make an eggplant dish."

Huang Lili bent down to pick eggplants. "Okay, let's have braised eggplants tomorrow. What do you think, Sister Song?"

Song Li had no objection.

Huang Lili picked some other vegetables.

Huang Lili was cooking, and Song Li followed her and helped her lay the foundation.

Through Huang Lili's teaching, Song Li found that cooking is actually quite simple.

Huang Lili saw Song Li's confident look and joked, "Is cooking easy?"

Song Li nodded. She used to think cooking was difficult, but after watching Huang Lili cook with her own eyes today, she felt that it was actually quite simple.

The two chatted and laughed. When the meal was ready, Huang Lili's two children came back from school.

Huang Lili has two children, a boy and a girl.

The boy is the eldest, named Jiang Zhe, and he is ten years old.

The girl is the second child, her name is Jiang Shu, and she is eight years old.

As soon as Jiang Shu entered the yard, she found that all the roses in the yard had been plucked out. She shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, who plucked out our roses?"

Huang Lili scolded angrily, "Why are you shouting? You are fucking me."

Jiang Shu couldn't understand Huang Lili's behavior of destroying flowers, "Why are you plucking flowers for no reason?"

At this time, Jiang Weiguo came back.

Jiang Shu immediately ran over and pointed at the bare little flower bed and complained, "Dad, I don't know what irritated Mom to pull out all the flowers."

Jiang Weiguo took a look at the small flower bed with only green leaves and bare stems, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He had indeed pulled out a lot of flowers, and not even a single flower bud was left.

Although he didn't understand his daughter-in-law's behavior, he still had to speak up for her.

"Maybe your mom is useful for something else."

Jiang Shu muttered unhappily, "What good can it do?"

Huang Lili was in the kitchen, but her ears were very sharp. Although the father and daughter were talking in a low voice, she could hear it clearly.

She called out to the yard, "Come in and have dinner, we'll have guests tomorrow."

Jiang Shu and Jiang Weiguo looked at each other and walked towards the kitchen.

Jiang Zhe has already walked into the kitchen.

Seeing Song Li, Jiang Zhe grinned and greeted her, "Hello, Auntie."

Although Song Li has heard the title of aunt many times, she is still not used to it.

She responded with a twitch of her lips, "Xiaozhe is back, come and sit down."

At this time Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Shu also came in.

Seeing Song Li, Jiang Weiguo was stunned for a moment.

Song Li greeted politely, "Hello, Instructor Jiang."

Jiang Weiguo greeted her with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Song, you're welcome. Come and sit down."

Only after the food was served did Huang Lili explain why she plucked the roses.

"Your Aunt Song Li wants to use roses to make rose cakes and scented tea." She warned the siblings worriedly, "The roses that are drying in the yard are very useful, so don't waste them."

Jiang Shu and Jiang Zhezi automatically ignored her next words. The brother and sister blinked their big eyes and looked at Song Li eagerly, "Auntie Song Li, can roses still be eaten?"

Jiang Weiguo on the side also looked at Song Li with curiosity. It was the first time he heard that roses could be used to make cakes.

Without Song Li saying anything, Huang Lili explained the uses of roses to everyone.

After hearing this, Jiang Shu and Jiang Zhe looked at Song Li expectantly, "I really want to eat the rose cake made by Auntie Song Li soon."

Jiang Shu added, "Auntie is so pretty, the rose cakes she makes must be delicious."

Song Li: "..." In fact, she didn't have confidence either.

Jiang Weiguo nodded thoughtfully, "If we can really make rose cakes, it would be a good thing.

The higher-ups are interested in solving the employment problem for the families. If Comrade Xiao Song can really develop the rose industry, it will not only solve the problem that the leaders are worried about, but also set a good example for the wives of the military and boost the local economy. This is something that deserves encouragement and support."

Song Li felt even more guilty, she actually had no idea.
