When Li Mingqing came back that day, he saw a row of men standing in the threshing ground. They should be the people who would come to look after the threshing ground in a few days.

The village chief was telling them some things to pay attention to.

Li Mingli and Li Mingfang saw Xita and called out, "Mingqing, do you want to come?"

"I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't do enough."

Having to sleep in the wheat field all night, there are bound to be mosquitoes, so he is willing to give up the opportunity to earn work points to others.

Zhao Hongbin smiled and said, "Come and play cards tonight."

"No need to look for me, you and Tiezhu can just make up a table."

"It's a pity that you can't see such a beautiful view at night."

"I can't even see the swarms of mosquitoes, and I can still enjoy the night view from the yard."

When Li Mingli and others heard what he said, they wanted to beat him up. They were just trying to stir up hatred.

The village chief said, "It's a good opportunity to tell you this so I don't have to come back to you. You won't have to attend classes every week from now on."

When Li Mingqing returned, Li Hongtao and his family came over.

Li Shuiniu was holding a big rooster in his hand, and Zhao Xiaohua was holding snacks in his hand.

When Sun Jiaxue saw him coming back, she felt like she had seen a savior.

"Brother Mingqing, my sister-in-law and Brother Li brought their children to thank you."

"Thank you uncle for saving my life," said Li Hongtao.

"You're welcome. How's your recovery?"

Li Shuiniu said: "The child is very good, you must accept these, otherwise we will not be able to sleep well at night."

Looking at the crowing rooster, Li Mingqing said, "We'll leave the snacks here, and you can take the rooster."

"That won't work. This chicken was specially caught by my mother. If I take it back, she will definitely send it back to me."

Zhao Xiaohua also said: "This chicken was newly raised last year. It's very delicious."

The couple took turns saying that they were afraid that Li Mingqing would not accept it.

"Okay, let's talk about it."

"Just take it. We have something else to do when we get back, so we'll leave first."

Li Shuiniu also participated in the summer harvest vigil and had to gather at the wheat field.

Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue looked at each other as they watched the big rooster with its legs tied with straw ropes.

"Wife, kill this chicken."

"How about we keep him?"

"The more I raise it, the thinner it gets. It's definitely not used to this new place. It's better to kill it now."

Sun Jiaxue thought it made sense and went back to the house to get the kitchen knife.

She plucked the hair off the chicken's neck, raised her knife and slashed it. The chicken flapped its wings and then stopped moving.

This level of proficiency cannot be achieved without five or six chickens.

"Brother Mingqing, let's have chicken soup tonight."

Li Mingqing was still in the situation where she killed a chicken, and his wife would give him some surprises every time.

He wanted to take action but didn't have the chance.

Sun Jiaxue boiled some hot water, plucked the chicken feathers, gutted it, cleaned it, and put it directly into the pot.

He took the small stool to the stove and asked, "Wife, where did you learn the skill of killing chickens?"

"Learn? I haven't learned."

"You are truly gifted, a great candidate for medical studies."

"Brother Mingqing, I didn't dare to do it at first, but after killing more and more chickens, I became very good at it. I used to be the one who slaughtered chickens at home during the Chinese New Year."

"My wife is so awesome, she must be rewarded with a big chicken drumstick."

After hearing what he said, Sun Jiaxue smiled.

The chicken was stewed for a full hour, and the aroma of the meat filled the entire yard.

Zhao Hongbin and Li Xiaolan hurried over.

"Ming Qing, come and take a look at what's going on. Have you caught a cold?"

After taking the patient's pulse, Li Mingqing pretended to be serious and said, "There is indeed a problem."

"What's the problem?"

Seeing Zhao Hongbin's nervous look, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're going to be a father."

"What! What did you say!"

"You're going to be a father."

Zhao Hongbin immediately pulled Li Xiaolan out and said, "Brother, let's go first."

He hurried home to tell the old couple the good news.

Hong Bin's mother blushed with joy as she carefully supported Li Xiaolan and said, "You must pay close attention during the first three months."

"Mom, I know."

"Hongbin, don't let Xiaolan do the hard work in the future. You should do it yourself."

Li Xiaolan smiled and gently touched her flat belly. It was her blessing to marry into the Zhao family.

"Don't forget to go to your in-laws tomorrow and tell them the good news."

Li Mingqing called the old couple of the Li family to the new house to drink chicken soup together.

Old Lady Li said, "Drink some chicken soup to nourish yourself. The summer wheat harvest will begin in two days."

"Mom, I'll bring you some water then."

"Just stay home. The sun is too strong. You'd better stay home with your skin like that."

Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "I have a straw hat. Even if I go to deliver water, I won't be there all the time."

"As you wish."

The summer harvest has begun in full swing.

The children in the village all went to the fields to pick up wheat ears, and they could take the picked wheat ears home.

You can't actually pick up many wheat ears after working in the fields for a whole day, but if you don't pick them up, there won't be any wheat at all. So even if you can pick up a grain of wheat, it's still a profit.

Sun Jiaxue was making mung bean soup, and Yang Daya was sitting in front of the stove making a fire.

"Third sister-in-law, don't go there later. Just rest at home."

"What are you afraid of? It's just giving birth to a child. Xiangnan was born in the ground. It will probably take two or three days for the baby to be born."

She said it nonchalantly, having a baby was the easiest thing for her.

Seeing that she insisted, Sun Jiaxue didn't say anything more.

"Jiaxue, you're really willing to add sugar. I can eat the sugar you just added for half a year."

She came to the new house to see Sun Jiaxue every day during this period. Everyone else was busy as hell, but only Sun Jiaxue had time to chat.
