Li Xiangjun trotted over to catch up with Li Xiangxia and said, "Little sister, you've gone too far this time. How could you throw away the breakfast your sister-in-law worked so hard to make? How could you waste food? There are so many people who can't even get enough to eat."

"From now on, we should just go our separate ways and not look for each other."

Her face was burning with pain from the beating. This was the first time she had been beaten so hard since she was a child.

Seeing her unreasonable look, Li Xiangjun stopped talking.

His sister is becoming more and more unreasonable.

Never mind, let it be whatever it is.

When she suffers a loss in the future, she will realize that her family is doing it for her own good, but she just refused to listen and continued down this path.

Li Mingqing saw Li Xiangjun coming back with a dejected look on his face.

"Ming Qing, what do you think we should do about this? It really makes me worried."

"You won't listen even if I tell you. Everyone has their own way of living. Even your own parents can't do anything about it."

"Oh, never mind."

He waved his hand and said.

When Li Mingqing passed by Li Xiangxia on his bicycle, he kept a very long distance from her. He was really afraid that she would pounce on him, so he took precautions.

Seeing Li Mingqing coming, she really wanted to stop a car and ask him to take her away.

Unfortunately, before she could even make any move, the bicycle had already moved ten meters away.

Then Li Mingqing heard cursing coming from behind.

When we arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Changgui had just arrived driving his car.

"Brother Zhao, good morning. It looks like there's a lot to do today."

"Indeed, there are a lot of winter items. Look at these cotton shoes, cotton gloves, and some cotton. I guess they will all be sold out within two days after you put them on the shelves."

"Even the cotton has arrived. It looks like winter is really coming."

It was indeed a lot colder in the morning. Fortunately, my wife made gloves for me and I am wearing them now.

The two of them were talking as they moved things out of the car.

"I heard that Zhou Yingzi, who was transferred from your place to the county town, is ill. Her husband is going to take her place. I saw him at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday."

"Has Manager Qian agreed?"

"We are in the process of completing the formalities. We will be able to start work in three or four days."

One carrot, one hole.

I have never seen anyone begging to take over a position just because his wife is sick.

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Didn't you say there were still three or four days left? Who knows what will happen during that time? Whether the procedures can be approved is another matter."

"I don't know about that, but that guy goes there once a day, and Manager Qian is really worried."

Before we knew it, all the goods had been moved down.

"It's better here. There aren't many people here. It's quiet."

Li Mingqing said with a smile: "Sometimes we squeeze in too hard."

Zhao Changgui took a few breaths and drove away.

Zhao Xiaoling was sorting things out at the counter, and after half an hour the items were displayed in a dazzling array.

"The New Year is coming soon."

"There's still more than a month left."

"We have to prepare in advance and store what we need in advance. If there's a heavy snowfall, we might not be able to leave the house."

"You're right. I don't think it's going to snow heavily at this temperature."

"Tianhua brought back a small bag of coal from the county town yesterday. I heard it was hard to get it. Mingqing, Jiaxue is pregnant, so we should prepare it early."

Li Mingqing nodded, it is indeed necessary to prepare early.

Coal is much easier to use than wood. You don't need to watch it nearby, otherwise it will go out accidentally.

But he doesn't have to worry about coal, as the system rewarded him with three large sacks last time.

If I have this good luck again in the future, I won’t have to worry about getting through this winter.

He was thinking, it's almost winter, why is there no progress in pulling the wires? Could it be that they won't be installed this winter?

It shouldn't be like this. Everything has been approved and we're just waiting to start construction.

When it was almost time to get off work, the village chief and the team leader came over with smiles on their faces.

"Mingqing, I have good news for you. We'll start digging holes and erecting stakes tomorrow to prepare for laying the electric wires."

"That's great. Is there any timeline for when it will be completed?"

"The town has already been divided. There are several villages along our line, and each village has been assigned its responsibilities. The poles will be up in less than a week."

It's the slack season, and the villagers are all free, so it should go pretty smoothly.

This is a good thing, other towns haven't been so lucky.

It's all thanks to Li Mingqing, he put out real money.

After the team leader and the village chief told him the good news, they hurried back to organize people.

Every household must provide a laborer.

First go to the mountain to cut down trees, then dig holes, and finally bury the wooden stakes.

Most people were happy when they heard this.

Before, only people in the city had electricity, but I didn’t expect that the village would also have electricity.

Only a small number of people, like Wang Dazhu, who are cunning and treacherous, are not very happy about this.

It’s not that I don’t like to pull the wire, but I don’t like to work.

After the village chief finished speaking, the villagers chattered non-stop.

Li Goudan asked, "Village Chief, do you want to calculate work points?"

“It doesn’t count as work points.”

"Why should we work if we don't get any work points? We work ourselves to death for no benefit."

Zhao Hongbin said, "Why not? Once we have the power lines, we won't have to grope in the dark. Didn't the village chief say that other towns don't have this privilege, and only our town is the first to pull the power lines?"

"Isn't this just adding to our workload? This is the season for rest."

"Then don't do it. In the future, every household will have electricity, so you can just do it in the dark."

"Yes, we are willing to do it. With so many people working together, it can be completed in a few days. Besides, it's not just our villagers who are working, the other villages are doing the same."
