After Li Mingqing finished speaking, he rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative.

He will be away for nearly a month, so it would be better for him to go and see the manager in person.

Qian Kai saw Li Mingqing stand up from the bench.

"Comrade Li, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at home preparing to go to the capital?"

"I came here to tell you in person, but it seems you already knew it."

"Yes, I received the telegram two days ago."

He just received a telegram asking Li Mingqing to go to the capital, and it was a telegram directly issued by the central government.

Qian Kai agreed without asking any questions.

He knew Li Mingqing's abilities, and there must be something urgent that required his help.

——

Lijia Village.

Sun Jiaxue was checking the packed luggage.

She knew that Li Mingqing was very capable and had everything he needed, but she still took care of every detail.

After Xiangdong and his friends finished their homework, they lay in front of the crib and played with Niu Niu.

Xiangnan said: "Sister Niuniu is even whiter than my sister, and she is especially beautiful."

"Yes, Hongbo still wants a younger sister."

"Aunt, my little sister is so pretty. We will take her to school in the future."

After hearing what the children said, Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "It will take another five years before they can go to school."

"It's okay. We can come back from school and read to her."

"Yes, my sister must be very smart."

The children originally liked to come to the new house, and Niu Niu didn't cry or make a fuss and liked to play with her.

Zhang Lihua, the third sister-in-law, also told the children to protect Niu Niu.

When Li Mingqing came back, it was time for the villagers to take a break from work.

Old Lady Xu hammered her arm and said, "Didn't they say Ming Qing was going to the capital and even going abroad? Why is he staying at home all the time? Could it be that the Li family is just talking nonsense and trying to swell up their own reputation?"

"That's not necessary. After all, Li Mingqing has really been to the capital."

"Yeah, you old woman, you want to cause trouble on your first day at work. You have no good intentions."

Zhang Cuihua said cheerfully, "Yes, he's full of bad intentions."

She still remembered that Old Lady Xu had ruined her marriage to the Li family.

If she hadn't interfered, her grandson might have been together with the girl from the Li family.

If you really get engaged as a child, you can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.

The village chief raised his voice and shouted, "Stop talking. You've been working all afternoon and you don't even realize how tired you are."

"Village chief, please explain yourself. Zhang Cuihua is the one with bad intentions."

"It's the same, no one should say anything."

Zhang Cuihua continued, "Village Chief, your daughter Minglan has been staying at home for over half a year. Aren't you planning to find her a husband?"

“Worry about the big countries first and then worry about other people’s affairs.”

"That's right, Daguo has really been delayed by you as a mother. What a good child, he has been hardworking and able to endure hardships this year."

"You know what, it suddenly clicked."

Wang Daguo heard this and thought to himself, it was a good thing that Li Mingqing woke him up with a brick.

The captain looked at his watch and it was time for a break.

The clear sound of a gong rang out.

"Everyone get up and start working. We'll be off in two hours."

When Old Lady Xu got up, she came up to Old Man Li and said, "Your son Mingli will also be able to eat the government food. If there is a chance, let my son Daguo go to the county town. That way, he will be able to find a daughter-in-law quickly."

"That's unreliable."

"Your whole family has become workers, so it's a piece of cake to find an opportunity to turn my son into a worker."

When Old Lady Li heard this, she said angrily, "Go back to work. You are not at all down-to-earth at your age."

Always wanting to pick up pie with empty hands is just wishful thinking.

"Why am I so uneasy? You are talking without any pain in your waist."

After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Li Mingqing riding a bicycle and shouted, "Mingqing, you're back from work so early, hurry up and help your parents with their work. Look how tired your parents are. You can eat well by yourself."

Old Mrs. Li pulled her hair.

"What nonsense! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull out those few white hairs from you."

"Let go! You don't know how to appreciate kindness. I'm seeking justice for you two old people."

"Humph, I think you're just looking for trouble. What I wear, eat, and drink are far more than you can compare to. You don't know anything and just talk nonsense."

No one in the village spoke to me.

You can tell from the mental state of the old couple that they have enough meat to eat.

He looks five or six years younger than his fellow villagers.

Seeing his mother acting so tough, Li Mingqing rode his bike home with a smile.

"Wife, I'm back."

"You're back so early, are you leaving for the capital this afternoon?"

"The train tomorrow at noon."

Xiangxi came over and asked, "Uncle, what do foreigners look like?"

"I'll bring you photos so you can travel abroad on your own when you grow up."

This seemed impossible to the children as they had never even been to the provincial capital.

Going abroad is even more unthinkable.

They knew that they could go to school thanks to their uncle.

I was able to go to the cowshed to study with several teachers every week thanks to my uncle's help.

Sun Jiaxue said with a smile: "Big Girl and the others said that they would take Niuniu to school when the time comes."

"That's perfect. From now on, Niuniu's studies will be left to you."

The big girl nodded and said, "Yes, we will definitely take good care of our sister."

After the children finished talking, they went into the house to see Niu Niu.

"Jiaxue, it may take me nearly a month to come back."

"You have to be careful when you're out there. You're in a foreign country where you don't know anyone. I've heard that foreigners speak differently than we do. You'll definitely be uncomfortable with everything there, especially the food."

The more Sun Jiaxue spoke, the more worried she became, as if she was the one who was gone.
