"Of course not. Didn't you want to eat it before? I never bought it. This time you can only eat it thanks to Le Yao."

"Yes, yes, you are right."

The old man agreed with a smile and didn't mind his wife's teasing.

"Xiao Pang is really thoughtful. You can take out such a precious thing. It shows that you really care about Le Yao."

"Aunt, to be honest with you, Le Yao and I are the father of this child, but we are good brothers. My brother is gone, and this child is the only one left. How can I not take care of him?"

"Time reveals a person's true character, and a friend in need is a friend indeed."

The old lady spoke in a very confusing way, which made Pang Jianyuan confused. With only an elementary school education, he was lucky enough to know a few words. How could he understand any profound principles?

Just know that it's a good thing.

When Mr. Cui heard what his wife said, he started thinking long-term.

Ming Leyao is a capable child with good medical skills. Logically speaking, he has lived to such an old age, but as long as he stays in this position, he can protect his descendants, so naturally he wants to live longer.

Besides, if you can establish a good relationship with a doctor with good medical skills, the benefits in the future will be endless...

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly said, "Xiao Pang, how many children are there in your family?"

"Uncle Cui, I have three children in my family. The eldest works in a production team, the second works in a factory in the county, and the third is in high school and will graduate next year."

"So after graduation, what are your plans?"

"That... not yet. You know the current situation. Sending the second child to work has already cost a lot of money. Add to that the third child going to school... our family is not well-off."

"Xiao Pang, uncle has two factory quotas here. You can pick any factory in the county. Go to whichever one you want. Your third child will graduate next year. If he wants to work in the county, you can arrange it next year."

"Uncle...you???"

Pang Jianyuan was a little confused, wondering how this big piece of happiness suddenly fell on his head.

However, Ming Leyao on the side saw through the interests involved.

The Cui family wanted to be on good terms with her. Thinking that she was now in the production team and still needed the protection of the team leader, they wanted to give some benefits to the team leader's family. For Mr. Cui, the mayor of Nanxing City, the quota was just a trivial matter.

But for Pang Jianyuan, this is a big deal.

"What's wrong? Xiao Pang? Are you unwilling?"

"No, no, Uncle Cui, I just feel that...how could such a good thing fall on me?"

Pang Jianyuan was not stunned by the news, but carefully asked for the reason.

"Le Yao still has to stay in the production team. She is alone now. I am in Nanxing City and it is difficult for me to reach her. So I thought I would ask you to take care of her more."

The old man's words were quite clear. If I give you benefits from the Pang family, you have to take good care of Ming Leyao for me. Everyone present understood.

Li Fang was a little anxious. She wished she could agree to this on behalf of Pang Jianyuan immediately. It was just about taking care of Le Yao. Even if Mr. Cui didn't say anything, they would do it. But her man didn't agree, so she, as a female comrade, could only worry.

"Uncle Cui, it is my responsibility to take care of Le Yao. You don't need to do this."

"I know, but I just want to make this matter more certain."

"Uncle, I know you've been good to me, and I have no way to repay you. It just so happens that Mr. Cui has this ability. Just promise me, I will naturally repay this favor in my own way. Uncle, don't think too much."

"Yes, Xiao Pang, since Le Yao didn't hide her affairs from you, you must know why I'm here. I'm asking for help, so I have to show some sincerity."

Pang Jianyuan thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Cui, I'll trouble you then."

"No trouble, no trouble. I'll write a letter tomorrow and you can take your eldest son to the Public Security Bureau to see Director Cui. That's my third son, and he will help you arrange it."

"Thank you, Uncle Cui."

In the evening, Ming Leyao gave acupuncture to Mr. Cui and boiled a pot of medicine for him. After the old man drank it, he took his wife back to rest. After a busy day, Ming Leyao returned to her room, took a hot bath in the space, turned back to the room, and went to bed.

After a dreamless night, Ming Leyao woke up early and while cooking, she was still thinking about why the people in the old house had been quiet recently. Could they be planning something bad?

What is the old house busy with?

Naturally, he was busy with Mingshi's work as the brigade secretary.

In order to increase his chances of success, Mingshi spent money and gave gifts and ran around everywhere. He finally got in touch with a section chief in charge of agriculture in the government. Agriculture had close ties with the commune, and he was able to say a few words to the commune director.

The section chief's son fell in love with Mingshi's eldest daughter, Mingyuehe.

These days the two families are discussing the marriage and also the matter of becoming the brigade secretary.

Mingshi still doesn't know that his future path has been blocked by himself.

The appointment letter must have been issued by the commune, and the final seal was stamped by the director of the commune. If he didn't nod, even if the county magistrate came, it would be useless, let alone a small section chief?

After breakfast, Grandpa Cui sat leisurely under a tree, squinting his eyes to rest, while Grandma Cui and Ming Leyao were turning the soil. The two of them planned to plant some winter cabbage while there was still time. They would harvest it in September and October and put it directly in the cellar, which would also provide a vegetable for the winter.

At this time, the captain knocked on the door.

"You go open the door, leave this to me."

"good."

Ming Leyao welcomed Pang Jianyuan into the yard and wanted to find a stool for him to sit on, but he refused.

After greeting the old couple of the Cui family, Pang Jianyuan said with a little concern, "Your uncle recently hooked up with a section chief of the Agricultural Science Academy, and his son has taken a fancy to your cousin. Did you know about this?"

"Ah? He hasn't given up yet? Didn't the commune director say that his application for brigade secretary was rejected?"

"That's what the director said, but this matter has to be reported to the county magistrate anyway, and the county magistrate has to give his approval."

"My cousin must be so happy, right? Her biggest dream in life is to marry a city person."

"Le Yao, you are really stupid."

Pang Jianyuan held it in for a long time and finally said this.

Ming Leyao "......"

How can this be a personal attack?

Seeing Ming Leyao speechless, Pang Jianyuan continued, "The section chief's son is a fool. Do you think she can marry him? In the end, she might have to push you out."

"What? There are so many fools these days? Didn't they want to marry me to the foolish son of Mingqing's uncle? Why did they change the person again?"

"What??"

Pang Jianyuan looked at Ming Leyao in dumbfoundedness, his mind a little confused for a moment.

"I overheard their conversation before. They said they wanted me to go home and be with that idiot when my grandfather's birthday comes..."

"You...you...since you know this, why are you still sitting still?"

Pang Jianyuan was speechless. What kind of people are these Ming family members? How can they be so vicious? How old is Le Yao? Do they really bully her just because she has no parents?
