When the couple arrived at the old house, the kitchen was bustling with activity.

Li Mingqing went into the room and helped Li Mingfang fill out the registration form. "Third brother, you can go get the village chief to stamp it later."

"This time it's all thanks to my fourth brother."

"Look at what you said. Every time I am lucky to have my fourth brother."

"This afternoon, Li Goudan and Wang Daguo got into a fight in the wheat field. They were fighting without any distinction between them."

"What's the matter? You just disliked me before, why did you resort to violence?"

"Old man Wu Li moved into their home and became a half-life couple with Zhang Cuihua."

Li Mingqing was speechless after hearing this. He actually moved in. What true love.

"But old man Wu Li behaved very well. He was eager to work in the wheat field and at home. But that's how Li Goudan got through it. He knows all about old man Wu Li's inner thoughts."

"There will be fun to watch later."

"It's a little less lively that day. Thanks to them, otherwise the village would be quite boring."

Wang Cuihua's family, Wang Dazhu's family, and Xu Po Po's family are really the three quarreling families in the village.

It's always this family quarreling or that family quarreling.

Of course, there are quarrels in other families in the village, but they are not so earth-shattering.

Four dishes were served, along with a tomato and egg soup and pancakes as the staple food.

Old Lady Li said jokingly, "Third sister-in-law is really generous this time. She's giving out so much money that it's almost like Chinese New Year."

"My third sister-in-law's cooking smells delicious."

"I got this meat from Jiaxue. There's still half a piece left. Jiaxue will take it back later."

"Give it to mom so she can take it back and make lard."

Old Lady Li said, "I don't want it. We still have some lard from last time. Jiaxue can take it back later."

Everyone agreed that it was a good deal to have such a juicy meal.

After finishing the meal, Li Mingqing returned to the new house and said, "Wife, Brother Zhao will bring a boy of fifteen or sixteen over tomorrow. Let's clean up the room next door."

"boy?"

"Yes, his name is Sun Xiaocheng. He has bad legs and feet. Come and stay for a week so I can give him acupuncture."

"The room next door is quite clean. Just put down the mattress and sheets tomorrow morning."

The next morning Li Mingqing went to find Li Mingfang.

"Third brother, the food is at my doorstep. You can go to the county town and bring it to me later."

After he finished speaking, he went back and saw Zhao Changgui riding a bicycle towards him.

There was not only meat but also vegetables on the handlebars. They were meals for Sun Xiaocheng.

It's not right to eat and drink for free at someone else's house for a whole week.

Sun Xiaoben thought he would live in the dark earthen house where he used to live at his grandmother's house, but he didn't expect it to be a large blue brick and tile house with clean windows.

"Xiaocheng, this is Uncle Li's house."

"Come in, Brother Zhao, come in and have a cup of tea."

"I have to go to the neighboring village so I won't go there anymore. I'll leave Xiaocheng in your care."

"Just rest assured."

"This is the food and money that Old Sun brought. If the child wants to eat anything, please ask my sister-in-law to make it for him."

"Okay, my wife's cooking skills are amazing."

Li Mingqing looked at the money in his hand, which was at least thirty or forty, and was really willing to spend it.

"Xiaocheng, you will live in this room from now on. There are many books in the main room. You can find some to read if you are bored."

"good."

"This is your aunt. If you have anything to say, just tell her. Don't be shy."

After Li Mingqing arranged everything for Sun Xiaocheng, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When he came back, he saw Li Danniu and others surrounding Sun Xiaocheng writing and drawing.

Finally I found a little teacher.

As soon as noon arrived, several children rushed back to the old house.

Sun Xiaocheng adapted completely. The table was filled with fruits, which were better than what he had eaten in the county town.

"You'll be home alone this afternoon. We'll go to work in town. If you're bored, you can go to the old house."

"Xiangdong and the others will come to see me this afternoon."

Li Mingqing felt relieved after hearing this. It was better to be with a few people than to stay at home alone.

But it's hard for him. After all, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he has to play with a bunch of idiots.

Actually, he is only three or four years older than Sun Xiaogang, but he has to call him uncle. This seniority system is really confusing.

Yesterday, he seemed to have grown a generation older.

When Li Mingqing went to the supply and marketing cooperative, he heard Zhou Yingzi say, "I'm getting engaged in two days."

"Congratulations."

"I accept your blessing, but you have to express your gratitude. It's a bit shabby to just say it verbally."

"Haha, that's a nice thought."

"We've worked together for such a long time, why are you reluctant to leave?"

"Of course I can't bear to part with it. My money didn't come from the wind."

He really didn't plan to give anything as their relationship hadn't reached that point yet.

Zhou Yingzi glanced at him and said, "You're so stingy. Why don't you just give me the money you used to buy Jiaxue's hair?"

"I'm telling you, is there something wrong with you? If you want money, go ask your partner for it."

Li Mingqing couldn't help but retort.

He is not a sucker, why should he give her money just because he wants it? He has no relatives or friends, so why doesn't he just rob her of the money?

Seeing the tense situation between the two, Zhao Xiaoling simply pretended not to see it.

Zhou Yingzi's ideas are indeed a bit problematic, but she doesn't have any bad intentions.

Li Mingqing looked at Zhou Yingzi and felt that even if they were engaged, the marriage might not succeed. However, in that era, most families were quite simple and honest, and engagement was equivalent to marriage.

"I'm going to marry into the county town, where I have everything I need," Zhou Yingzi couldn't help showing off.

"I wish you happiness and congratulations on finding your ideal husband."

Li Mingqing's blessing was soulless.

A man from a county town spent a huge amount of money to marry Zhou Yingzi. There must be something fishy about it.
