Seeing that Old Lady Li was unmoved by her persuasion, Zhang Cuihua thought that she and Li Mingqing were indeed a couple, being unkind.

Sun Jiaxue is still winding a ball of yarn.

"Jiaxue, wool is not cheap, my little baby doesn't have any thick clothes yet, how about——"

"Give me some" was interrupted before he could even finish his sentence.

"Auntie, why don't you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it? They sell it there."

"Really? I thought the supply and marketing cooperative didn't sell it."

At this time, Wu Li came trotting over and said, "The pig at home is alive!"

"Whether he can speak or not, he's still breathing. There's no need to talk about him being alive or dead."

She originally wanted to extort money, but now it seems she'd better give up.

Old Lady Li said, "Hurry home and take a look."

"No hurry, Daguo and Goudan are watching over us at home. I see you have enough bran at home, so why not give me a couple of scoops?"

"It's not that I don't want to share, but these can only be eaten by my pigs. There are only two bags, and they must last until the New Year. If you calculate carefully, it's still not enough."

Seeing there was no hope, Zhang Cuihua turned and left.

Wu Li said, "I've been in your village for such a long time, and I've seen your family's situation. Can't you have some pity on us? It's really unbearable to raise pigs for a year and get nothing."

"You can come with money or tickets."

He is trying to get something for nothing, and he has a good plan in mind.

Sun Jiaxue said, "No wonder Brother Mingqing told me to be careful of Zhang Cuihua's family at home. So this is what happened."

"There's no such thing as regret. At the beginning of winter, they were able to save some food for the piglets."

"Mom, it's been a while since I last checked on our little pig. Has it grown a lot?"

"It must be almost 200 kilograms."

The two of them tacitly did not mention the fresh sweet potato vines that Li Mingqing had brought out.

Feed the pig every few days to ensure its life is complete.

After half an hour, the yarn ball is tangled.

Sun Jiaxue and Old Lady Li went to the pigpen behind the house to look after the pigs.

Old man Li came out of the house with a shovel and went to clean the pigpen.

Two fat pigs were lying on the dry grass in the pigpen, and the pigpen was relatively clean.

Even if it's dirty, it won't be that dirty if you clean it every day.

"This year, my family will definitely get a lot of meat, so we won't be short of meat."

"Yeah, I never thought about it before. This year, not only do we have meat to eat, but the vegetables are also growing well."

The vegetables in the vegetable garden are grown with some pig manure, which provides sufficient fertilizer, so the cabbages and radishes are particularly juicy.

Although the pigs raised by Zhao Hongbin, Zhang Chengming and Li Shuiniu are not as fat as those raised by the Li family, at least they can get extra meat.

Only in Zhang Cuihua's family, so many people don't know that the baby is raised.

Zhang Cuihua went to Zhang Chengming's house because she didn't get pig bran from Li's house.

Zhang Chengming didn't see him but he did see Old Man Zhang.

"Brother Zhang, what are you busy with?"

"There's nothing to do right now, so I can take a good rest."

"I'm here for no other reason. I have a pig at home. Can I borrow some pig food?"

Old man Zhang refused without any hesitation.

"We're not well off at home either. My second son, Chengji, is also getting married, and we're desperate to spend every penny we have. We just can't spare any money."

"I'm not here to borrow money from you."

"Yes, but we don't have much pig food at home. If I lend it to you, your family will have to buy it."

He can still figure this out.

Zhang Cuihua didn't expect that after working hard all afternoon, she didn't get anything.

She was sulking when Wang Daguo came to see her.

He cursed and swore, wishing he could curse everyone in the village.

She felt so unbalanced, why was she the only one who was unlucky?

All this is her fault for being lazy and slacking off, not only her but also Li Goudan and a few others.

In town.

Li Mingqing was drinking tea and reading the newspaper when he saw Dean Yin coming over.

If he didn't have some manners, he would have started scolding me on the spot.

"Dean Yin, is there something urgent?"

"It's not urgent. There's a medical exchange meeting going on, and we're looking to exchange medical skills. I think you're the most suitable candidate."

"Exchange meeting?"

"Yeah, your skills are totally beyond compare."

"I won't go. I still have to go to work here."

The dean sighed and said, "Don't shirk this responsibility. There are also foreign doctors. They always look down on others. You have to dampen their arrogance."

In the past two years, a few foreigners have always stole the limelight. This time, with Li Mingqing taking action, he will definitely take back the spot.

Li Mingqing thought that since there were foreigners coming here to exchange ideas, it must be in the capital rather than the county town.

"Dean, where did you hear the news?"

"It's an order from above, specifically asking you to go."

"It's not in the capital, is it?"

"It's in the capital. I'll go with you."

The documents that Dean Yin received were sent from the military hospital.

It would be bad if you don’t go.

Li Mingqing said, "It will take at least ten days to get to the capital. I have to work here, and my wife is pregnant, so I really can't leave."

Upon hearing this, Dean Yin said, "What's the big deal? Just ask for leave."

"A day or two of leave is understandable, but ten days or half a month is hard to ask for. I've already asked for leave so many times since I started working, I really can't bring myself to ask for it. Zhao Xiaoling has never missed an attendance check except for her wedding leave, so let's just forget it."

"Don't worry about that. I guess it's all been taken care of. You just need to go and get the people."

He represents the country's medical level. Even in the remote corners of the northwest, he can be safely sent to the capital.

Li Mingqing said: "Confirm first."

If this is really the case, it will be a big deal.

Zhao Xiaoling, who was initially shocked and had her mouth hanging open, now remained calm and composed. She said, "Since the dean said so, it must be true."

Li Mingqing didn't have any psychological fluctuations, after all, he had a plug-in.

The dean said, "You wait here for news. I'll go back to the county first. By the way, don't worry about my daughter. I've spoiled her since she was a child."

"Don't say that anymore. Take good care of her and don't cause trouble again."

His light-hearted words "spoiled" made Li Mingqing a little angry.

It caused him a lot of trouble.

In the afternoon, Li Mingqing received the news that he would be given a half-month leave.

"Sister Zhao, thank you for your hard work over the past half month."

"Why are you so tired? You're the one who's tired. It takes two or three days to get from the county to the capital by bus."

"Yeah, I should have kept a low profile earlier."

"You've been keeping a low profile. If I had your ability, I'd shout it out so everyone would know."

Then a small jeep stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative.

Ding Yi got out of the car.

Li Mingqing thought, no way, he is not here to pick me up.

"Brother Ding, when did you come back?"

"I just got back this afternoon, and came specifically to go to the capital with you."

"It's a waste of talent. I can go by myself."

Ding Yi said, "This is the mission assigned by the organization. Here are the train tickets I've bought for tomorrow at 10:00 AM. I'll pick you up in the village in the morning."

"OK."

The arrangements are so complete, the train tickets have been bought, so we have to do it no matter what.

After this time, I will really become famous.

After Ding Yi finished his instructions, he drove away.
