My eldest aunt Mingqing married into the neighboring Yingxiang Brigade, and it takes at least an hour to walk there from Shangjiaqiao Brigade.

After the marrow washing yesterday, Ming Leyao clearly felt that his physical fitness was much better than before. His arms were strong and he had endless energy all over his body.

In the past, after walking for an hour, she would definitely be out of breath. But now, she had arrived at her aunt's house, and her face was not red and she was not out of breath, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the open door, Ming Leyao shouted loudly, "Aunt, are you home?"

"Hey? Le Yao, why are you here? Come in, come in quickly."

Hearing the voice, Ming Qing walked to the door and welcomed Ming Leyao in.

"Aunt, this is a gift from your niece, please accept it."

"What did you bring with you when you went to your aunt's house? Take it back quickly."

Ming Qing pretended to have a stern face and said in disagreement.

"Aunt, I have now moved out of the old house and have my own support money. My life is much better now than before. You always helped me in the past. Your niece has not forgotten your kindness, so she will definitely come to visit you."

"What? You were separated from the old house? What happened? Tell me quickly."

Ming Leyao told Ming Qing everything that had happened during this period. After listening, Ming Qing stood in the yard cursing angrily.

"I knew that Qian Lai Di, that idiot, could raise a good daughter. She actually came up with such a vicious plan. You are all members of the Ming family. Your bad reputation has no impact on her, right? She is such a grown-up girl and still doesn't know anything. She does whatever she wants. Your uncle is the same. He just messes around outside and doesn't care about his wife and children at home."

"Aunt, it's okay. I'm used to it. I can support myself now, which is much better than the days when I didn't have enough to eat."

"Well, well, your grandma has a good conscience for once and lets you leave that home smoothly."

Whether she had a good conscience or not, Ming Leyao didn't want to comment, nor did she plan to say much to Ming Qing, mainly because she was afraid that Ming Qing would worry. As a daughter who was not liked by the old witch, she had no way to evaluate her old mother.

"Okay, don't think about it. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to your aunt, okay?"

Ming Qing held her eldest niece in her arms affectionately. The two had not been so affectionate for a long time. When her third brother was still alive, he was very kind to her. She was the only girl in his family. How could she not love her?

"Got it, aunt. It's getting late. I'll go back first. When you have time, come and see my new house."

"Okay, drive slowly."

After seeing Ming Leyao off, Ming Qing took the basket to the kitchen, opened the floral cloth on it, and looked carefully at what was inside. Ming Qing almost threw the basket out.

Come on my dear.

She quickly ran back to the main room and placed the basket directly in front of her man.

Mingqing's man Li Baogang looked at his wife in confusion and asked, "What's this? Why did you put it in front of me?"

"Open it and see for yourself."

Li Baogang lifted the cloth with doubt in his heart, and saw the round eggs and white fine-grain noodles inside. He quickly covered the flowered cloth and was unable to calm down for a long time.

"So... so many?"

It would take their family a month to save up twenty or so eggs.

And the noodles...

He had never seen noodles this white in his life.

"Ah, that child is just pitiful."

"You are her elder, so in the future, you should think more about her. She is also a person who knows how to repay her kindness. Those relatives in your family are simply unreliable."

"I know."

As soon as Ming Leyao returned to Shangjiaqiao Brigade, she was told that the brigade captain was looking for her, so she turned around and went to the brigade captain's office.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

"Hey, Le Yao, you're back?"

"I went to visit my aunt. I just got back."

"How is your aunt?"

"fine."

"That's fine. This is what happened. I called the commune this morning. They are very supportive of our production team setting up a primary school. They said we can expand the enrollment so that children from nearby production teams can also go to school."

"That's a good thing, uncle."

"Yes, our team has discussed the location of the school and decided to build a shed on the open space next to Comrade Fu's home. The weather is still hot now, so we can hold on for a while. When we find a place to build a house, we can move back."

"Comrade Fu? Uncle, you are not talking about Fu Wencheng, right?"

She remembered that there was a vacant lot next to Fu Wencheng's house, which was said to be together with the residential land. That piece of land also belonged to Shangjiaqiao Brigade, but Fu Wencheng was injured and kicked out of his home, so he had no place to live, so Pang Jianyuan arranged for him to live there.

"That's him, that's him. Speaking of Xiao Fu, he's also a pitiful person. Fortunately, now he has finally found his happiness after all the hardships. Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it."

Ming Leyao "..."

I don’t know if it’s because she feels guilty, but why does she always feel that the captain is pointing at her when he says this?

After leaving the brigade, Ming Leyao put Fu Wencheng's matter behind her. Now that the matter of being a teacher has been resolved, she still needs to understand the movements of the old house, so as to know what they are planning and when to act...

Ming Leyao did it as soon as she thought of it. She pretended to stroll around the old house, and seeing that there was no one around, she slipped to the backyard, quickly climbed over the courtyard wall, landed on the chicken coop, and then jumped into the yard. During this time, there was no sound at all, not even the chickens were disturbed.

Ming Leyao couldn't help but sigh that the lotus seeds were really a good thing.

He crouched in a circle and came to the base of the wall behind the window of the main house, where he hid quietly.

"Mom, is what my second brother told me the other day true? You don't even know. When I told my mother-in-law about it yesterday, she was so happy that she took out a meat ticket and let me buy a pound of meat. We had braised pork at home tonight."

When the Ming family heard about the braised pork, they all swallowed their saliva subconsciously. Only Mingzhong was eating rice with pickles calmly and did not join in the conversation.

Ming Leyao didn't expect that Ming Ergu would come so soon.

"Ming Hu, this must be true. That money-loser is living a comfortable life with my son's pension. How could I let her live an easy life? It's just right to give her to your uncle's idiot son. Ha, then she will have to listen to me, her elder, when the time comes."

"Mom, my brother-in-law is very rich. When the time comes, you can ask for more. Don't forget to share some with me."

"Okay, okay, okay. Mom will never forget you. I have always supported you."

"Mom is still the best."

Normally, when the Ming family ate in the main house, no family members would be present. They all sat at a separate table in the kitchen. Ming Hu was married to the village party secretary of Xiwang Village, which meant she was an official's wife in ancient times. Plus, she was loved by the old witch, so she could sit at the table and eat with everyone else.
