The first village Song Li and Huang Lili went to.

As soon as they entered the village, they met a few girls chatting under the willow tree at the entrance of the village.

Seeing strangers coming into the village, the women stopped chatting and looked at Song Li and Huang Lili with curiosity, doubt or scrutiny.

Huang Lili walked forward and asked for news with a smile.

"Hello, my dears, do you know anyone in the village who grows roses?"

Several girls looked at Song Li and Huang Lili several times, and a round-faced girl asked in confusion, "Why are you asking about roses?" There are people in the village who grow roses, but they are useless, they are just for the sake of looking at them.

Suddenly someone came to the village to inquire about the whereabouts of the roses. Lin Xiaoya couldn't help but doubt their intentions.

On the way to the village, Song Li and Huang Lili agreed on what to say.

Huang Lili pointed at Song Li beside her and said helplessly, "My sister has loved beauty since she was a child. I don't know who told her that roses can be used to make something for the face. She wanted to try it. I was so annoyed by her that I came to the village to ask around. Of course, we don't want it for free. We spend money to buy it."

After all, they needed a lot of roses, and the villagers would definitely be suspicious. Rather than arousing suspicion, it would be better to just say they wanted money to buy them, which would save them a lot of trouble.

When they heard about spending money to buy it, the silent girls suddenly became active.

The girl closest to Huang Lili stood up, took Huang Lili's arm, and said enthusiastically, "Comrade, I have roses planted at home. I'll take you home now."

When her mother saw that someone had snatched her away first, she became unhappy, stood up, rushed to Huang Lili and tried to snatch her away from her mother.

"Comrade, I also have roses planted at home. They are not yet ripe. Come to my house and take a look."

"I have it planted at home too. It's growing nicely. Come to my house."

"Go to my house, my house..."

Huang Lili's arms were stretched out by the three women. Seeing that she had nowhere to go, one of the women turned her attention to Song Li who was standing nearby.

"Little girl, my home is not far from here, you and your mother can go and have a look," he said, trying to pull Song Li's arm.

Song Li was frightened by the women's enthusiasm. She quickly hid back and raised her voice to shout, "Women, stop fighting. I want all your roses."

The loud noise successfully calmed the women down.

Huang Lili took the opportunity to pull her arms back from the three women, shook her arms that were hurt by the pulling, and quickly put them behind her back.

The women are indeed very strong as they have done farm work in the fields.

Almost tore her apart.

"You want them all?" Lin Xiaoya, who originally did not participate in the war, stood up and asked uncertainly.

She is the mother of the village chief.

If what this female comrade said is true, there are many people in the village who grow roses. If roses can really be sold for money, she would be willing to contribute.

Song Li nodded, "Yes, I'll take them all. I don't know if the method my friend suggested can produce anything. Anyway, if it doesn't work once, I'll try twice. If it doesn't work twice, I'll try a hundred times. Anyway, I won't give up."

Song Li's words sounded a bit sarcastic, but the women didn't care at all.

They echoed Song Li's words, "Girl, you are right. If it doesn't work once, we can try twice. If it doesn't work twice, we can try a few more times. As long as you don't give up, you will eventually succeed."

"I can see from the girl that you are a person who gets things done. You will definitely succeed. I am optimistic about you."

"girl……"

They all said words of encouragement and comfort to Song Li, but in their hearts they were laughing at Song Li for being stupid.

They have been growing roses for several years, some for nearly 30 years, but this is the first time they have heard that roses can be used to make facial cleansers.

City people know how to have fun!

Lin Xiaoya looked at Song Li's clothes and knew that her family was well off. Then she looked at her very pretty face and knew that she was spoiled by her family. Combined with what she had just said, she felt that she was mostly willful.

She squinted her eyes and pondered for a while, then turned to Huang Lili beside her to confirm, "Comrade, is what your sister said true? Do you really want all of them? There are many people in the village who grow roses."

Song Li glanced at Lin Yuya in surprise.

If her memory served her correctly, she remembered that she had not asked for all the roses in the village.

What the old lady said just now is very interesting.

Huang Lili glanced at Song Li helplessly, and said in a doting tone, "She has always been a person who will not turn back until she hits the wall. Since she wants to try, let her try. I want to see what she can come up with."

Lin Xiaoya curled her lips and agreed, "It's a good thing for a little girl to be curious.

She introduced herself with a smile, "My name is Lin Xiaoya, and I'm the mother of the village chief. Since you want a large quantity, leave it to me. I'll ask my son to use the village loudspeaker to make an announcement so that you don't have to run around in this hot weather."

Huang Lili and Song Li had no objection.

Followed Lin Xiaoya to the village office.

After listening to Lin Yuya, the village chief Gao Hongjun was silent for a while before confirming with Song Li and Huang Lili, "Comrade, do you really want to buy the roses in the village?"

That thing is not just for looks, but people still spend money to buy it these days, and the main reason is that the quantity they buy is not large.

It seems that they don't have any problems with their brains, but they are too ignorant!

Huang Lili glanced at Song Li and said helplessly, "Buy it. It won't cost much. Let's teach her a lesson."

Gao Hongjun's mouth twitched.

The world of rich people is really incomprehensible.

However...

"How much do you plan to pay for a rose?" No matter if they have a problem with their brains or not, they would rather cheat the innocent people who come to their doorstep for free.

For me, money is the most important thing!

As long as you give me money, I will sell it!

Huang Lili glanced at Song Li.

Song Li said, "The price is the same as in other villages, one piece of picked roses." This was the price Song Li and Huang Lili had agreed on earlier.

Gao Hongjun calculated in his mind that the money was not much, and the price was higher than the price that the children in the village earned by digging wild herbs in the fields.

Don’t waste free money.

"Okay, I'll notify the villagers now." Gao Hongjun stood up, took a few steps to the table, picked up the loudspeaker on the table and started shouting.

After notifying the villagers, Song Li said,

"Village Chief Gao, I think we can't pick all the roses in a short time. My sister and I have other things to do. I have an unwelcome request. I would like to ask you to help us count the number of roses picked in the village, and then find a car to deliver them to the Northwest Military Region Family Compound. I will advance you part of the money first, and I will pay the rest after I see the goods. I wonder if Village Chief Gao is willing to help me with this."

She and Huang Lili definitely couldn't bring back so many roses alone.

Neither of them had ever ridden a bike.

Since Village Chief Gao wants to get involved in the purchase of roses, it's not wrong to ask 놛 to help.

There is no benefit without paying any price.

If she guessed correctly, the credit for purchasing roses from the villagers this time would go to Village Chief Gao alone.

"Are you from the Military District Family Compound?" Gao Hongjun was reluctant at first, but after hearing Song Li mention the name of the Military District Family Compound, he became somewhat willing.

That's the military district hospital.

A relationship that you can never establish no matter how hard you try.

Song Li nodded, "Yes, we are both relatives who came to the northwest with our husbands to follow the army. My name is Song Li, and her name is Huang Lili. Village Chief Gao, please go to the family compound to find out our names."

Huang Lili is the head of the women's department of the family home. You will definitely be able to find out if you mention her name.

As for her...

Her reputation is probably no less than Huang Lili's.

"No problem, just do as the two comrades say. Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to my Hongjun. I promise I'll take care of it for you." Without waiting for Gao Hongjun to speak, Lin Xiaoya on the side had already made the decision for him.

As she said this, she glared at Gao Hongjun fiercely.

What an old woman like her could think of, a village chief could not think of.

What a waste of having such a big head.

The two comrades in front of me are from the military district family compound, so there is no need to worry that they will lie.

Besides, if you get involved with people in the military family compound, you never know if there will be other opportunities in the future.

The female comrade just now also said that the price is based on the local conditions of her village.

It seems that they bought the roses not for the purpose of researching what to put on their faces, but for other purposes.

However, Lin Xiaoya did not intend to expose it.

She has her own plans.

Gao Hongjun received his mother's reminder and quickly agreed with a smile, "My mother is right. Comrades, please leave this matter to me. I promise to do it well."

Song Li thanked him politely, "Then I'll trouble you, Village Chief Gao."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. This is what I should do as the village chief." After hearing the name of the family compound, Gao Hongjun's attitude changed immediately.

Song Li took out a piece of money from her pocket and handed it to Gao Hongjun, "Village Chief Gao, this is an advance payment."

Gao Hongjun glanced at Lin Xiaoya subconsciously, and Lin Xiaoya scolded him angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and write a receipt for the comrade."

Gao Hongjun responded, took the money, and went to the side to issue a receipt to Song Li.

Lin Xiaoya smiled and called Song Li and Huang Lili, "Two comrades, have some water."

Song Li found that the old lady Lin Xiaoya was unusual at first.

She responded with a smile, picked up the enamel cup and took a sip of water.

Waiting for Lin Xiaoya's next words.

It turned out to be just as she expected.

Lin Yuya made a few polite remarks and changed the subject. "Comrades, are you going to other villages to buy roses later?"

Song Li smiled and nodded, "That's the plan."

Lin Xiaoya paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Which village are you planning to go to?"

Song Li turned around and glanced at Huang Lili. "I have just arrived in the northwest a few days ago. I am not familiar with this place yet. I will listen to my sister-in-law."

Huang Lili smiled and said, "Let's go to your village below. It's on the way."

Lin Xiaoya's eyes flashed with contemplation, and she smiled and said, "I happen to know someone in the village below. How about I ask for you? It saves you the trouble of running back and forth."

Huang Lili and Song Li looked at each other.

Song Li said simply, "Okay, I don't want to walk anymore. I'll trouble you to buy the roses. I'll still give you the same price, but you have to guarantee the quality."

Lin Xiaoya heard the implication of Song Li's words, and she smiled and assured, "Don't worry, Xiaoniang can definitely guarantee the quality. If you are not assured, you can pay after the quality is checked."

The task of purchasing roses was handed over to Gao Hongjun and his mother. Song Li and Huang Lili had lunch at Gao Hongjun's home before returning to their family compound.
