Old Lady Li carried a bowl of rice like a thief.

After opening the door, he looked around for fear of being seen by Zhang Lihua and Yang Daya.

After making sure that no one was there, he trotted back into the house and slammed the door shut, doing it in one smooth motion without a single pause.

The room suddenly became as dark as if it were full.

"The old woman opened the door, and once she closed it there was no light at all."

"Light the kerosene lamp!"

Old man Li was very confused. In the past, he was always said to be wasting money when he lit a kerosene lamp.

Why did you change your personality today?

"My dear, are you okay?"

He asked as he struck a match, and with a "click", the match lit up.

Old man Li came over with a kerosene lamp and saw the white rice on the table.

He thought he was dazzled.

"My dear, can you see if there is anything on the table?"

Old Lady Li chuckled, "Really? Why didn't I see it?"

"That's what I was saying. How could there be such valuable things in the house? You must be really old."

"Old man, eat quickly."

"Go cook, I'm so hungry I'm hallucinating."

Hearing this, Old Lady Li stopped teasing him and said, "It's true. It's white rice."

Old man Li rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

It’s true!

"This was given by my son and daughter-in-law. I did it quietly. If the eldest and third families saw it, there would be a commotion."

He nodded. Although he didn't say which son it was, he knew it was Li Mingqing.

They tacitly agreed not to ask any further questions.

The two of them happily ate a bowl of rice.

The old couple almost swallowed their tongues while eating the fragrant rice.

There is no comparison between coarse grains and refined grains.

After dinner, Li Mingyuan and Li Lizhu brought their two children to chat with Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, please sit down."

Sun Jiaxue immediately took out the wooden stake from under the table.

"Fourth brother's wife, if you have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk. You haven't been out for a walk since you got married into this village, right?"

"Well, I'm a little embarrassed to go out."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you want to go out someday, you can call me."

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

"Don't be polite, we are all family."

The two sisters-in-law were chatting animatedly. This was the most Sun Jiaxue had spoken except to Li Mingqing.

"Brother, Erniu and Sanniu are getting more and more beautiful."

"Like me."

"Don't mention that they look like you and your sister-in-law. Your two nieces are really presidents. They only pick out your best qualities."

Li Mingyuan said dissatisfiedly: "Why do I feel that these two children are exactly like me?"

Li Mingqing smiled helplessly.

His second brother is kind-hearted and treats his daughter genuinely well.

If it were according to the ideas of other people in the village, the two girls would definitely be beaten or scolded.

Now many villagers make fun of Li Lizhu for not being able to give birth to a son.

It is said that Li Mingyuan will have no other choice but to leave his family behind.

It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.

After chatting for half an hour, Li Mingyuan and his wife took their two children back to rest.

Zhao Hongbin took the medicine given by Li Mingqing home.

"Ahem... Hongbin, why did you come back just now? You should have finished work a long time ago."

"Mom, go inside and lie down. You don't have to come out to pick me up."

"It's a good time to move around. Your dad is cooking. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Zhao Hongbin helped his frail old mother into the house.

He said nervously: "Ming Qing gave me a bottle of magic medicine, saying it can cure your disease."

Hongbin's mother shook her head with a wry smile.

"I've had this disease for more than ten years. It's good enough to be able to take a breath."

"Mom! How can you say that? Your son will definitely cure you."

"Okay, okay, where's the medicine Ming Qing gave me? Let me take a look."

Zhao Hongbin handed her the spiritual spring water.

"If Ming Qing meets a liar in town, don't drink too much."

Hong Bin's mother opened the bottle and drank a little tentatively.

I felt much better instantly.

Zhao Hongbin didn't even have time to organize it, which scared him a lot.

"Son, you know what, drinking a little does have an effect."

When he heard this, he found that he was indeed not breathing as hard as before.

I held the medicine bottle carefully in my hand for fear of spilling it.

"Mom, drink a little in the morning and evening, maybe your illness will really be cured."

So happy.

He wanted to go to Li Mingqing's house again to thank him properly.

When Zhao Laogen heard him yelling, he left the stove and came out to see what was going on.

"What's wrong?"

"Dad, Mom's illness can be cured!"

“Really?”

"Of course, it was the medicine given by Ming Qing. It really worked after my mother drank it."

Zhao Laogen didn't believe it at first, but when he heard that it was Li Mingqing who gave it, he no longer had any doubts.

He was able to return to normal from a vegetative state, so he must have been treated by a capable person.

Zhao Laogen said, "Hongbin, this brother is very loyal to you. He will help you if he can."

"Dad, you don't even need to tell me."

The whole family happily ate vegetable dumplings dipped in salt.

The next day, Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue were sleeping soundly when they heard a series of hurried knocks on the door.

Sun Jiaxue woke up at the first knock on the door.

She wanted to get up but Li Mingqing held her tightly in his arms and she couldn't break free.

Blushing, she shook his arm and whispered, "Brother Mingqing, get up quickly, there's someone outside."

"Oh, sleep a little longer."

He muttered something and pulled her over to lie down on the bed.

Li Mingli and Li Mingfang, a couple, stood at the door without leaving.

"It's already past noon and you still haven't woken up. How can we still live like this?"
