Li Mingqing pulled Li Jiaxue and prepared to leave the wheat field, but was stopped by Zhou Jingli.

"Yu Zhiqing greeted you, why didn't you respond to him?"

"Which eye of yours saw that I didn't say hello?"

"I saw it with both my own eyes. You two don't have a very good relationship. Yu Zhiqing is from the capital. We dare not offend him."

"Really? I think you've offended a lot."

Seeing Li Mingqing so calm and composed, Zhou Jingli almost jumped up.

"Nonsense! Yu Zhiqing and I are both here to build the countryside and enjoy the green mountains and clear waters. We have always been united."

This lie was told very fluently, as if it were true.

You can't fall out in front of the villagers, you still have to say what you want to say.

Yu Huaizhi turned and left without saying anything else.

If you don't agree with me, there's no need to say anything more. It will make you feel irritated if you say one more word.

Liu Jiajia said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Li, are you satisfied now that we educated youth are not getting along?"

"Haha, you really can throw dirty water on me. I'm not an educated youth. What's your quarrel with me? It's none of my business."

"If it weren't for you, this situation wouldn't be here."

Wang Mudan couldn't help but say, "This is a matter between us educated youth. Why involve others?"

"Where are you?"

"Stop talking. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it back at the Youth League Center."

Zhao Yongmei also advised from the side: "Mudan, you should say less. You and Yu Zhiqing are on good terms. Please help and persuade them more."

Seeing this, Li Mingqing left without a care in the world.

Even if the educated youth caused a big fuss, it would have nothing to do with him.

The village chief came back from the town and went straight to Li Mingqing. He looked radiant, as if he had picked up money.

"Ming Qing, you did such a great deed without making a sound. How come you didn't say a word? If the mayor hadn't told me, I would still be in the dark."

"Uncle Village Chief, take a breath first."

Li Mingqing also thoughtfully brought him a glass of water.

He probably knew what the village chief was so excited about.

"The village will have electricity this winter, all thanks to you. I really don't know what to say."

"Uncle Village Chief, do what you can."

"What can I do? You are a living Lei Feng. I really admire you for spending so much money for our village. I can give you the position of village chief."

"Oh, what are you talking about? I don't take credit for it."

"Why shouldn't you be so ashamed of this? You've benefited the local people, and people from several villages should come and see you."

"It's better not to talk about this, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

After listening to this, the village chief nodded in agreement.

If the villagers knew that Li Mingqing spent so much money to buy electric wires, some people would shamelessly come to ask for money.

"I originally thought it would take several years for it to reach our village, but I never imagined it would."

"Don't say anymore. I'll tell everyone after the autumn harvest and when we start construction."

"Okay, you'll know when the time comes."

Sun Jiaxue came out of the kitchen carrying a small plate of winter dates.

"Uncle Village Chief, eat some winter dates to moisten your throat."

"These juicy winter dates are incredibly sweet, and you can tell at first glance."

He took two and ate them while leaving.

Winter dates with such good appearance and taste are probably only sold in supply and marketing cooperatives. They taste different from the wild dates picked from the mountains.

Erniu ran over crying, and Li Mingqing thought something big had happened.

These naughty kids usually grin with joy, so why would they cry so loudly?

"What's the matter, Erniu?"

"Uncle, Xiangdong scared me with soybean worms. The worms were very big, but Xiangdong and Xiangxi still wanted to take them back and fry them to eat."

Li Mingqing had never seen one before and didn't understand why someone who was used to seeing insects would be so scared.

Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. The bean worms may look big, but they don't bite."

"Aunt, I'm as big as your hand. I'm scared."

Erniu complained aggrievedly.

Immediately afterwards, Da Niu and Xiangdong and others came to find Er Niu.

"Sister, don't be afraid. It really doesn't bite anyone. Even Sanniu is not afraid of it."

The big girl came over with a soybean worm in her hand.

Li Mingqing felt his scalp tingling after seeing it. It was a big, round, green worm. No wonder Erniu was afraid of it and felt creepy just looking at it.

There is meat at home, so there is no need to bring these insects to the table.

"Uncle, we only caught two, and we'll leave one for you."

"No need, big girl Xiangdong, you guys come and take it back to the old house quickly."

Seeing him like this, Sun Jiaxue knew he was a little scared, so she agreed, "Your uncle and I don't like to eat this, so you can take it all away."

The girl said with regret: "It smells delicious once it's fried."

Erniu came out from behind Sun Jiaxue only after they left.

She was really scared. After seeing it, she felt weak all over and her legs were weak.

But being able to catch two soybean worms at once is also a skill of theirs.

There are some on soybean leaves, but with so many children in the village watching, it is difficult to catch them.

Li Mingqing said, "Wife, let's ask mom to help harvest the soybeans we planted. These bugs are so big, it's unbelievable."

"Brother Mingqing, I only planted some soybeans. I can just go pick the beans directly. When the frost comes in a few days, I can use a sickle to cut them down."

"You decide for yourself. I'll go with you then."

"No need. My second sister-in-law and I have agreed that we will go together when the time comes. Our private plots are next to each other anyway."

Li Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He was really scared. It was a completely physiological reaction and he couldn't control it at all.
