The next day, Li Mingqing tied the cotton in the bag to the back of the car and went to the town.

Zhao Xiaoling was surprised when she saw the bag of cotton.

"I didn't expect so many. Now I don't have to worry about cotton clothes in winter."

"Okay, it just happened to be there."

"No matter what, you're really amazing. Others don't have the same channels to get so much, or you know so many people."

Zhao Xiaoling had no other thoughts at all. She knew that Li Mingqing's medical skills were extraordinary. He must know many people with this ability. After all, his miraculous healing skills were witnessed by all.

How can anyone not be afraid of death?

She opened the bag and was even more delighted.

This is high-quality cotton, much better than what Peng Tianhua bought in the county town before.

"I'll bring the money this afternoon. I was in a hurry to leave this morning and didn't have time."

"No rush."

"I ran into Zhou Ming when I came to work this morning. He's working at the supply and marketing cooperative now."

"I didn't expect to start work so soon."

"He makes eight hundred trips to the county supply and marketing cooperative a day. I guess he's also very annoyed over there."

Zhao Xiaoling was very tactful and did not mention Zhou Yingzi.

They both knew that she was now locked up at home and couldn't go out.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would definitely make a fuss.

In the afternoon, Li Mingqing met Zhou Jiangang halfway on his way back.

He was pushing a bicycle with a donkey cart following beside him.

There were several rows of honeycomb coal on the donkey cart.

"Jiangang, I didn't expect to meet you by chance. I thought you were here early."

"I thought about it at home and decided to rent a donkey cart. Otherwise, I would have to push the honeycomb coal here, and my physique can't stand the hardship."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "It's time to exercise."

"How can riding a bicycle all day long not be considered exercise? It's much longer than the time I spent exercising in school."

We soon arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village.

The villagers' eyes widened when they saw so much honeycomb coal on the donkey cart.

This is all money.

Each family would only buy a dozen or so pieces of honeycomb coal during the Chinese New Year.

Basically, we go to the mountains to chop firewood and burn it to keep warm.

Seeing people working on the main road, Zhou Jiangang asked, "Brother, what are you doing in your village? When I came here, I saw other villages busy as well."

“Electricity will be available in the village soon.”

"This is a good thing. Why don't I see people working in other places?"

"Only our town has electricity, but other towns will get it soon."

"I see everyone is looking at me. Am I being a bit too fussy?"

Li Mingqing said speechlessly, "How can a donkey cart be such a big deal? It's not like we haven't seen donkey carts before. If you drive a car here, it can barely be called a big deal."

The villagers have even seen airplanes, these are just small scenes.

Wu Shengli looked at all the honeycomb coal and said enviously, "You're so generous! The Li family won't be cold in the winter. I just wonder if the house in our educated youth institute will get drafty."

"It must be cold in our educated youth camp. There's not even a wall to keep out the wind."

Zhao Youcai echoed.

Zhou Jingli said angrily, "You regret it now, don't you? I asked you to stay at the Li family's house but it didn't work. If you don't freeze, who will?"

He said this as if he didn't need to live in the educated youth residence.

It's obvious that we are all on the same boat, but this sarcastic attitude is really unique.

"Zhou Zhiqing, why bother making sarcastic remarks?"

"I'm not being sarcastic, I'm stating the facts. Just wait and see how cold it gets in this cold winter."

"We live on a brick bed, and burning firewood will keep us warm."

"Hmph, are you guys going to collect firewood?"

"Of course, we should all go together. We can cook separately, but we all live on the same earthen kang, so we can't separate them."

Zhou Jingli didn't say anything else. He didn't want to go through this trouble.

Take one step at a time and see how it goes.

There are so many people in the village living in mud houses, but no one has frozen to death.

As soon as Li Mingqing and Zhou Jian arrived at the door, they started moving honeycomb coal into the yard.

The two of them worked very quickly and finished moving in about ten minutes.

After that, the uncle driving the donkey cart left.

Sun Jiaxue fell asleep in the inner room and woke up only when she heard the sound of a door opening outside.

She hurriedly put on her coat and shoes and came out, thinking that it was the villagers who had come.

When I opened the door, I saw Li Mingqing and Zhou Jingang standing there.

The hands of the two men were stained black by honeycomb coal.

Zhou Jiangang said, "Sister-in-law, do you still remember me?"

"Remember, Brother Mingqing often mentioned you."

"Really? I'm really flattered."

Li Mingqing heard his rude words and said, "Go wash your hands quickly, or you'll get your clothes dirty again if you're not careful."

Zhou Jiangang followed him to the special place for washing.

Tidy and tidy.

He was too embarrassed to go in, for fear of getting it dirty.

Li Mingqing dipped his hands in water and took out the soap, then smeared the soap all over his palms and wrists and washed them clean.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and wash."

"Your life is truly enviable. I'm afraid the people in your village don't like you."

"The villagers are not as petty as you say."

“There will always be people who feel uncomfortable.”

"This is something they should resolve on their own. It has nothing to do with me."

There are many people who live a good life, but if you take everything to heart, your life will be miserable.

When the two came out and returned to the house, Sun Jiaxue had already made tea.

Li Mingqing took out a bag of cotton.

Zhou Jiangang stared with wide eyes.

He really didn't expect there would be so much, a whole sack.

Li Mingqing sold a whole bag of such scarce cotton at once. Anyone who saw it would be shocked.

So awesome.

Follow him and you will have food to eat.

"Brother, from now on you are my real brother. If my real brother knew that I could get so much cotton, he would have to call me brother."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Not really."

"Of course. My nephew was born less than six months ago, and I was busy looking for cotton to make a cotton-padded jacket and quilt. If I couldn't get cotton, the child would suffer. Now it's good, he can have a warm winter."

Zhou Jiangang said this with an excited look on his face.

When he came out, his elder brother Zhou Jianshe didn't believe that he could get cotton by going to the village.

After all, he only bought a little bit after running around the black market in the county town, not to mention the countryside, which is not suitable for growing cotton.
