Li Xianghong, who was standing by, said, "Why didn't Li Mingqing see my sister off when she got married? If he had come, my sister would have been happy."

Li Dahua quickly warned, "Don't tell your sister about this."

"Why? It's not like my sister would steal my brother's things."

"You know your sister's feelings for Li Mingqing. Xiang Xia has that temper. If she really knew, she would definitely go to the Li family to ask for clarification. If your brother-in-law finds out, your sister's life will be even more difficult."

After saying this, Li Dahua sighed. Why had her stomach been still for such a long time?

Li Xiangjun said cautiously, "Xiang Hong, don't tell Xiang Xia about this."

"Brother, I understand."

Li Xianghong reached out and touched the bed sheet. It was indeed comfortable and soft.

Li Dahua took out the four-piece suit and went to Li Xiangjun's room to change all the sheets and quilt covers on the bed, looking very happy.

The previous bed sheets and pillowcases were also new.

It's just a defective product, which doesn't affect its use, but it does make it less festive when used for a wedding.

The four-piece set Li Mingqing gave me was exactly what I wanted.

——

In the afternoon, Li Mingqing met four old acquaintances as soon as he arrived at the village entrance.

He Tiancai, Yan Xingguo and two Red Army soldiers came over on bicycles.

It seems that they are here to check the villagers' understanding of the Red Book.

These two Red Guards were the ones who had come to the village before and whom Zhou Jingli met when he went to the town.

Yan Xingguo stopped and said, "Mingqing, where are you going?"

"I work in the county town. What brings you here?"

"I'm here to carry out work among the masses. You definitely don't understand."

"It's not like I haven't seen how you work before, so stop bragging. Comrade He, long time no see."

He Tiancai smiled and said, "Long time no see."

He has gotten used to it. Every time the two of them meet, they always fight.

The red-haired soldiers next to them felt lucky to see that Li Mingqing was so familiar with them. Fortunately, they did not offend Li Mingqing. He really couldn't afford to offend him.

Li Mingqing said a few words and rode away on his bike.

When Zhou Jingli saw the person coming, he thought that his report had worked.

Someone actually came.

The village chief and the team leader came trotting over when they learned that someone was coming to the village.

Yan Xingguo and He Tiancai did not conduct many random checks.

I just checked five or six families to see if they had the Little Red Book. Every household must have one.

The two hours of hard work Li Mingqing spent yesterday were not in vain.

The villagers still remembered a lot of it.

He Tiancai was still very satisfied with this.

Although they have learned literacy, the villagers are either at work or on their way to work every day, so it is rare that they can say so much.

Yan Xingguo had no objection.

The other two people didn't have any other ideas.

They had just come from the neighboring village, and by comparison, Lijia Village seemed pretty good.

At least he is not clueless and can answer several questions.

Zhou Jing, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Do you remember me?"

"What's up?"

"We met this morning. I told you about Lijia Village—"

Before he could finish his words, the village chief interrupted him, saying, "Zhou Zhiqing, you have nothing to do here."

If he can go find the Red Guards, he must have bad intentions.

The two people who had met before did not respond to Zhou Jingli's words, but left instead.

Yan Xingguo followed the principle of less trouble is worse than more and did not dig into the matter to get to the bottom of it.

Only after the four people left did the village chief and the team leader breathe a sigh of relief.

"Zhou Zhiqing, what were you trying to do just now?"

Zhou Jingli was still in a daze, puzzled. Why didn't he go to Li Mingqing's house when he came to the village? It was really strange.

"Zhou Zhiqing!"

"Village Chief, I didn't do anything. I just wanted to ask if you would come again in the future."

"What did you do in town this morning?"

"I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some snacks."

He didn't dare tell the truth, after all, it was not a good thing.

"Honestly, it's just a mess."

"I work diligently and have no evil intentions."

Few people believe this.

He has been in the village for so long that the villagers already know what kind of person he is.

When Zhou Jingli left, he was still wondering what went wrong.

Yan Xingguo asked curiously, "What did that educated youth want to do with you just now?"

"nothing."

"Why would I come to you if there's nothing wrong? Is there some gossip in the village?"

"That educated youth told us some things about Li Mingqing."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xingguo immediately became alert.

"What did you say?"

"They said there were contraband in Li Mingqing's home, so they asked us to come and take a look."

Now it was Yan Xingguo's turn to be shocked.

"I told you there were contraband, why didn't you go?"

"I came here once before and there was nothing. I guess it's all bullshit."

"Li Mingqing is no ordinary person. He's a specially hired military doctor. Just imagine, for someone to be so highly valued by the military, his entire family must have been thoroughly investigated. Any slightest problem would have been discovered long ago."

After Yan Xingguo finished speaking, he slandered in his heart.

Li Mingqing had to treat him to a meal, so his identity was clear.

The other two people suddenly realized and were once again thankful that they didn't act rashly and come to cause trouble.

He Tiancai said, "Let's go quickly to another village. We have to walk through all of them this afternoon."

——

Li Mingqing at the supply and marketing cooperative sneezed several times in a row.

"It seems someone is saying bad things about me. I'm such a good person, but I still get talked about. Sigh, life is so hard."

Zhao Xiaoling said, "Jiaxue must be missing you at home."

"It's possible, but unlikely. My wife thought I didn't sneeze before."

She smiled and said, "When did you start to believe this?"

“It is better to believe something exists than not to believe something exists. You must believe it when you should believe it.”

"Ah, when I passed by Zhou Ming's house at noon, I heard a messy sound of things being thrown around in the house. I guess they were fighting."

"That's quite normal. Isn't Zhou Ming's father, Zhou Liping, beating Zhou Ming's mother all the time?"

Influenced by what you see and hear, subtly.

The probability that Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang would not hit anyone is basically zero.

Li Mingqing didn't feel sorry for Zhou Yingzi. It was all her own fault. She jumped into the fire pit even though she knew it was a fire pit.

He just hoped that Zhou Yingzi would stay away from him and Sun Jiaxue.

However, Zhou Yingzi was already on his way to Lijia Village.

As soon as she arrived at Li Mingqing's door, she started crying and cried without saying anything.

Many people said that Li Mingqing had an affair with another woman.

Zhou Yingzi did it on purpose. If she can't live a peaceful life, no one else can either.

Sun Jiaxue was chatting at Old Lady Li's house and had no idea that Zhou Yingzi was crying at her doorstep.

Zhou Xiaoshuang walked over happily and said, "Jiaxue, Mingqing's concubine is here and making a scene at your doorstep."

Granny Li snapped, "What nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. The person is right in front of the Li family's door."
