At this time, you can say you are busy, but you can also say you are not busy.

You can do the work in the fields or not, and there is no rush. After all, it is work on your private plot, and there is not much work, so you can do it whenever you want.

Zhang Chengming washed the peanuts and placed them on a winnowing basket to dry.

"Mingqing, take it with you later. I'll wash it clean."

The Zhang family was so enthusiastic that Li Mingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Brother, we really don't need anything at home. If we did, I would have asked for it without you even telling me."

"Did you run into the Wu family when you came here? The old Wu family next door, look at me picking on you."

"What happened? Did you curse him behind his back?"

“I don’t have the time to scold him.

We went to your house every day some time ago, and they said that our Zhang family was trying to curry favor with you.

I was so angry that I cursed back, and we have been enemies ever since.

I really don't know how Aunt Wu and Uncle Wu, who are such good people, could have given birth to these two things."

"Wu Liqiang and Wu Liguo may have been instigated by their wives."

"I really don't know what they were thinking. Things were so much better before they got married."

Old Lady Zhang said, "The wives of those two have their eyes looking up into the sky."

Wu Lili took Sun Jiaxue aside to chat about women's private matters.

"Jiaxue, my mother-in-law said she'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy some new cloth to make clothes for the baby."

"You have to prepare in advance. I'm ready and just waiting for the little one in my belly to be born."

"You're really quick. You finished the clothes so quickly."

"I do needlework when I have nothing to do at home. Children's clothes are easy to make and don't take long."

I stayed at Lao Zhang's house for about half an hour and then left.

"Auntie, I really don't want that. You can keep it for yourself."

Li Mingqing poured the packed peanuts back into the winnowing basket and quickly left with Sun Jiaxue.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, they saw a man standing up in front of the door.

It was getting dark, which scared Sun Jiaxue.

Li Mingqing walked closer and found that it was the village chief.

"Uncle, you're so scary. What are you doing squatting at my doorstep?"

"I must have something important to ask you."

"What's going on?"

"Please spare half an hour to help write the big-character poster for the village."

"Big-character poster?"

"Yes, I have prepared all the pen, ink and paper for you. You must post it at the entrance of the village tomorrow."

Li Mingqing opened the gate and entered the yard with the village chief.

The village chief held ink and brush in his left hand and paper in his right hand.

Sun Jiaxue held a flashlight to provide illumination.

The ideological education conference was not attended in vain, and writing about it was effortless.

"Long live the people's commune."

"Grasp the revolution and promote production."

"The realization of communism in our country is not far away."

“There is a vast world and much to be done.”

"Take grain as the key link and achieve all-round development."

…………

He wrote twenty or thirty pieces in just half an hour, and the village chief was very satisfied.

"I knew it was right to come to you. You write quickly and well."

"Uncle, if it's not enough, I'll write it tomorrow."

"That's enough, that's enough. The village will definitely be brand new when you get back from get off work tomorrow."

Every village was busy posting big-character posters.

The town distributed two or three sheets to each village, but the villages were too big to have enough, so they had to write on their own.

With the autumn harvest approaching, we have to deal with these things quickly.

If it weren't for Li Mingqing, the village chief and the team leader would have spent the entire night just to deal with these twenty or so words.

The village chief happily left with the twenty or so big-character posters he had written.

"Brother Mingqing, your writing is so beautiful."

"Want to learn calligraphy? I'll teach you."

Sun Jiaxue looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Okay."

"I'll buy some brushes and rice paper from the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow."

She was indeed bored at home alone, so writing with a brush was a good way to pass the time.

When she heard this, she quickly said, "No, there is paper at home."

"It's different. Don't worry. We have money at home. Why not keep it if we don't spend it?"

"Just buy two or three, don't buy more."

"I know."

There is really no place to spend the money at home. I will go to the provincial capital for a stroll when I have some free time.

Buy two houses now while they are cheap.

Looking at the food piled up like a mountain in the space, it’s all money.

When I have time, I will go to the county town to dispose of this batch of grain so that I can buy a house in the provincial capital.

The next day.

"Wife, I won't be back for lunch. I'm going to the county town."

"Okay, then remember to eat at the State-Owned Hotel."

"Just stay home and lock the door."

Li Mingqing kissed her cheek before riding away on his bicycle.

Xiangnan came over and said, "Aunt, can you teach me how to write when you have time?"

"I'm free."

Although Sun Jiaxue said this, she was still a little hesitant.

She was afraid that her half-baked writing skills would mislead other students.

Xiangdong and his friends were learning to write from the people in the cowshed.

"Xiangnan, let me teach you how to read."

"OK."

As long as it is about learning, Xiangnandu welcomes everyone who comes and I like learning.

He is a rare and talented student.

At his age, he is just right for taking the college entrance examination and will definitely be the top scorer in the province.

Yang Daya came over with Si Niu in her arms and smiled as she saw the two of them were serious.

"I said Xiangnan must have come to your place."

"Third sister-in-law, sit down."

"I don't know who my son takes after. Ming Fang and I didn't separate just like that."

"Mom, I am your biological child."

"Indeed, I just didn't go to school, otherwise I would definitely be fine."

Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, come and learn to read with us when you have time."

"Forget it. My head hurts from the literacy campaign a few days ago. I might as well go to the fields and earn some work points. Besides, I have to take care of Si Niu."

"I can stay home and watch my sister."

"Son, I'm relieved to see your sister. After the autumn harvest in a few days, I'll hand the fourth girl over to you."

She originally wanted to take Si Niu to the fields, but she was so fair and clean that she couldn't bear to let her go.

Xiangnan can only watch over him at home.

If we hadn't had enough food in the past, we would definitely not have been able to raise children so carefully.

Even the girl who was dark and thin before has become much whiter.

Among all the children in the village, the Li family's children are the most energetic.

Sun Jiaxue took a few peaches from the kitchen and put them on the table.

Yang Daya said, "Put it away quickly. Even a shameless person like me would feel embarrassed if I were to use it every day."

"You're welcome. It's crispy and delicious. You even brought me a small piece of pork the other day."

"Then I can't just take advantage of you."

Sun Jiaxue would receive things from Zhang Lihua and the other two every now and then.

She was also quite embarrassed.
