Chapter 186

"Sister Li, I've troubled you again."

Cao Weiguo walked into the room and greeted Yu Li with a smile.

Yu Li smiled, "What's troublesome about this? Sister Yulan is smart and understands everything with one point."

Song Yulan said happily, "In a few days, you'll have new clothes to wear."

Cao Weiguo walked over and looked at the fabric with lines drawn on it.

"This color choice is a bit old."

Song Yulan said, "Does it look old? Then I'll buy blue next time."

Yu Li said, "Gray looks steady, suitable for a leader like you."

Cao Weiguo smiled, "Sister Li, don't mock me; what kind of leader am I?"

Yu Li said, "How are you not a leader as a deputy director? I heard you're in charge of the food for thousands of people."

Cao Weiguo smiled, "I'm just cooking for the fellow workers."

While chatting and laughing, Cao Weiguo took a handful of coconut candy out of his pocket.

"Sister Li, wife, try this coconut candy."

"A specialty sent by a friend from the south."

Yu Li took a piece of coconut candy and put it in her mouth, "Mmm! So fragrant!"

Song Yulan took three pieces, and Cao Weiguo stuffed the rest to Yu Li.

"Sister Li, if you like it, eat a few more."

Yu Li said happily, "Thanks, Weiguo; if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know coconut candy existed in this world."

Cao Weiguo said, "What's this? Life will get better and better in the future, and you'll be able to buy this coconut candy whenever you want to eat it."

The three of them ate coconut candy while making clothes and chatting.

By the time Yu Li returned home, it was already ten o'clock.

The Third Aunt said, "Why so late?"

Yu Li said, "Song Yulan was in a hurry to make clothes for Cao Weiguo, so I taught her for a while longer."

The Third Uncle said, "You, you can't be so honest; you can't let Song Yulan become a fat person in one breath; teach her bit by bit, so that Song Yulan will appreciate you more."

The Third Aunt said, "Your father is right; as the saying goes, 'teach the apprentice, starve the master'; you taught Song Yulan so easily, she won't take you seriously anymore."

Yu Li said irritably, "Alright, don't think of people as so mercenary."

The Third Uncle said unhappily, "What do you mean mercenary? I'm teaching you how to improve neighborhood relations, so that Song Yulan will appreciate you more and repay your kindness for teaching her later."

Yu Li said impatiently, "Mm, I know."

The Third Uncle asked shrewdly, "You taught Song Yulan so many skills at the Cao house, didn't Cao Weiguo show any appreciation?"

Yu Li took three pieces of coconut candy out of her pocket, "Taste something fresh; this is coconut candy that only exists in the south."

The Third Uncle's eyes lit up, "Whoa! Coconut candy! This is a rare thing!"

Yan Jiecheng reached out impatiently, but was slapped on the back of the hand by the Third Uncle.

The Third Uncle scolded, "What are you grabbing for! How can you eat such a good thing without savoring it!"

Yan Jiecheng said, "This was earned by my wife, what's wrong with me taking it?"

The Third Uncle took all the coconut candy away, "This coconut candy is a good thing made of coconut; there are only three pieces, it's a waste to eat them all at once; wait until tomorrow, let your mother boil sugar water with this coconut candy, and our whole family can taste the coconut flavor."

The Third Aunt smiled, "Your father's idea is good, this way our family can taste something fresh."

The Third Uncle looked at Yu Li, "Daughter-in-law, just these three pieces?"

Yu Li said irritably, "If I wanted to eat it all by myself, I wouldn't have brought these three pieces out."

The Third Aunt said hurriedly, "Little Li, don't misunderstand; your father means you worked for half a day, and Cao Weiguo only gave you this little bit?"

Yu Li said, "With such a rare thing, who would give a lot? It's not bad to have three pieces to satisfy the craving."

The Third Uncle said, "That's true, I haven't even seen this thing in the supply and marketing cooperative; it's decent enough that Cao Weiguo gave three pieces."

The Third Aunt sighed, "Look at how others are living; we haven't even seen things at our age, but they can eat them at such a young age." ===== CHAPTER 188 =====
