However, you must not be too frugal; when it comes to food, clothing, and daily necessities, buy what you need. You must not treat yourself poorly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, but this is simply too much money and too many coupons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Song Yulan, filled with sweetness, took out the money and coupons and began counting them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five, ten, twenty... four hundred and seventy Brother Yuan! ... Three hundred jin of national grain coupons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo kissed Song Song Yulan on her pretty, surprised face: \"Wife, you can count the money and coupons slowly tomorrow. We need to hurry and complete the task assigned by your mother, so the old lady can hold a big grandson sooner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Song Yulan's pretty face turned bright red instantly, as if it were steaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jia Family\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi was sucking on a piece of candy happily, the sweetness reaching from her mouth all the way to her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng said with a drooling expression, \"Grandma, are you eating candy? I want some too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi reluctantly took a piece out of her pocket: \"Good grandson, after eating the candy, you must be filial to Grandma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng happily took the candy, peeled off the wrapper in a rush, and squinted his eyes in sweetness as he ate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Little Huaihua swallowed her saliva: \"Grandma, Little Huaihua wants to eat candy too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi opened her mouth and said, \"What are you eating, you little money-loser? There are pebbles outside; go chew on those.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu said, \"Mom, that was a whole handful of candy. Just give Little Huaihua one, and Xiaodang one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi kept a straight face and said, \"Children get cavities from eating candy. Not giving them candy is for their own good. Besides, what if they get greedy? We don't have money to buy them treats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu felt a surge of bitterness and misery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did she end up marrying into such a family, dragging her children along to suffer with her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching the three pieces of milk candy in her pocket, Qin Qin Huairu felt not gratitude toward Song Song Yulan, but rather, she was filled with jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu Family\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu were happily eating orange candy, chatting excitedly about what happened today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Cao Weiguo is really a stand-up guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This candy is really delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Mistress said with heartache, \"You two, eat sparingly. These two pieces of candy are worth an egg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Guangtian said proudly, \"We got this candy by helping Brother Cao Weiguo work; we'll eat it however we want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Master snorted coldly, \"You two little brats, if Cao Cao Weiguo didn't look at my face, would you have been able to get this benefit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Liu Guangfu said, \"Dad, stop trying to gild your own face. It's because Brother Cao Weiguo is generous. Without your face, the Yan family boys wouldn't have gotten any less candy than us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Master's face turned livid as he picked up a feather duster: \"You two little brats are asking for a beating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the Liu household was in an uproar again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yan Family\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Master was collecting candy from his children one by one, under the guise of: a referral fee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Jiefang, Yan Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Yan Jiedi were young, so even though they were reluctant, they obediently handed over half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were not happy about it; they had earned this through their hard work, so why should they hand over half?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Master said earnestly, \"You two don't have to be unhappy. If I didn't rack my brains to manage this family, and if I didn't sacrifice my old face to build a good relationship with Cao Cao Weiguo, would this good thing have come to you today? Forget about eating candy; you wouldn't even have a share of the dust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Mistress chimed in, \"Eldest, don't be ignorant. Otherwise, next time there's a good thing, your father might not necessarily include you two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine, fine. You calculate everything so clearly within the family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Li put the candy on the table, filled with grievances, and returned to her room in a huff.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Sihe Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young couple had just gotten married and were in the middle of their honeymoon phase, so they didn't get out of bed until after seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn't been for Song Song Yulan's shy urging, Cao Cao Weiguo wouldn't have been willing to leave the quilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo got up slowly to wash, while Song Song Yulan had already started working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She first started the fire to cook, then virtuously brewed tea in Cao Cao Weiguo's thermos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding! Monthly check-in successful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obtained Master-level Artifact Appraisal Skill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo, who had just hung up his towel, felt his body tremble as knowledge regarding artifact appraisal flooded into his brain like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Song Yulan called out crisply while carrying corn buns and egg drop soup, and Cao Cao Weiguo finally came back to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wife, the egg drop soup you made is really fragrant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo, happy to have gained a new skill, was in a great mood and happily flattered his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Song Yulan smiled happily: \"If it's good, drink more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo ate the corn buns and drank the egg drop soup in large mouthfuls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simple breakfast seemed incredibly delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This display made Song Song Yulan full of joy, and she smiled even sweeter than honey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today I have to go cook for a leader; I don't know what time I'll be back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said, \"Don't wait for me for dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Song Yulan said with concern, \"I understand. Be safe on your way back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the warm breakfast, Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Damou chased after him from behind on his bicycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Cao Weiguo, wait for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the voice, Cao Cao Weiguo slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xu, when did you get back? I haven't seen you for two days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Damou said proudly, \"Hey, it's Labor Day, isn't it? The leader sent me to the commune to show movies. I was so busy I couldn't even split myself in two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said, \"That's because Brother Xu has the ability, which is why the leader entrusted you with such an important task. Others wouldn't even have the qualifications to be that busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Damou laughed, his heart blooming with joy: \"Brother, you have true insight. When it comes to the technique of showing movies, I am absolutely top-notch here in the capital. Otherwise, the leader wouldn't have given me so many important tasks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted and laughed all the way to the steel mill. Before they parted, Xu Damou was still talking at length about his movie-showing at the commune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the kitchen, Cao Cao Weiguo directed the work with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone performed their duties, and Seeing Shazhu, having suffered, worked diligently and seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the employees' lunch, Cao Cao Weiguo and the director went to the canteen warehouse to check the inventory of ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The canteen director was full of worry; the higher-ups demanded that the employees' diet be improved on Labor Day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warehouse only had radishes, greens, mushrooms, and potatoes; there wasn't a speck of meat. How could they improve the diet with that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The canteen director looked at Cao Cao Weiguo with hope: \"Cao Weiguo, can you get some meat? We can't complete the task assigned by the higher-ups with these ingredients.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo shook his head and said, \"The quantity is too large; there's nothing I can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The canteen director sighed: \"Sigh, then we're going to get scolded again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo remained quietly silent; he would rather be scolded than take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would care about small-scale activities, but if he really brought in hundreds of jin of meat at once, he was afraid he would be under investigation by the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clerk ran over hurriedly: \"Director Cao, Deputy Factory Director Zhang wants you to go to the office building entrance immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The canteen director said, \"It must be about cooking for Director Director Jiang. You should hurry over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo didn't dare to delay and left, seeing a military-green jeep in front of the office building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many employees were watching from afar, their eyes full of curiosity and longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Weiguo, come here quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Factory Director Li stood in front of the office building, waving urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo ran over quickly: \"Factory Director.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Factory Director Li said seriously, \"Director Director Jiang sent a car to pick you up. You must use your best skills to serve Director Director Jiang; you cannot let down the trust that Director Director Jiang and the factory have in you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said solemnly, \"Please rest assured, Factory Director, I will go all out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Factory Director Li nodded with satisfaction, then turned to introduce a middle-aged man wearing a grass-green military uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Weiguo, this is Master Wu Wu Chunshan, Director Director Jiang's driver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Wu, this is the best chef in our steel mill, and also Comrade Cao Cao Weiguo, the Deputy Director of our steel mill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1601,"2026-06-16T06:42:12.639Z","2026-06-16T08:22:04.667Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d73e389339e8226b079cb932ccd402ab7105e19e958d1c9e30138af110bb7861","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-48","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-46",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-cover.gif"]
