The next day.

As soon as Li Mingqing opened the door, he saw Old Lady Zhang standing at the door.

"Auntie, when did you come? Why didn't you come into the house?"

"I just happened to see the door open when I arrived. I'm so sorry about last night. These eggs are for the children."

"I can't have it. It's a pity nothing happened. Don't take it to heart."

She said embarrassedly: "Lili, this is really outrageous. I went home yesterday and scolded her severely. I promise there won't be a next time."

"Auntie, let's just put this matter behind us."

Hearing this, Old Lady Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the villagers knew about this, everyone would probably be on guard against the Zhang family.

After all, everyone has children. Anyone who hears that Wu Lili went to someone else's house in the middle of the night to steal a child would be scared.

"Ming Qing, it's our Zhang family's fault in this matter, so just accept the eggs."

He was sure he couldn't accept it, so he said, "We don't need any at home. We have three or four old hens. Auntie, you should take them back. It's not easy to save eggs. If you can't eat them all, you can sell them in town or the county."

"Have you not forgiven me yet? If you have, keep it."

"I didn't take it seriously."

"Since you don't take it seriously, just keep it."

She forced the basket into Li Mingqing's hands.

The moment Li Mingqing picked it up, he immediately ran a meter away and shouted, "It's for the child, not for you."

When Sun Jiaxue heard the sound, she came out and saw half a basket of eggs.

"Did mother give it to you?"

"No, Aunt Zhang gave it to us to apologize for what happened last night."

"So, should we accept it or send it back?"

"Let's keep it. When I opened the door, I saw her standing there. I don't know how long she's been waiting there. If we don't keep it, she won't be able to sleep at night."

Old Lady Liu came over and asked, "Nothing else happened last night?"

"Mom, it's okay."

"As long as you're okay, I was so scared I couldn't sleep all night. You said those two were really brave, especially Wu Lili. She's been particularly evil ever since her child died."

"Lili is quite pitiful, but she is indeed scared."

As Sun Jiaxue spoke, she thought to herself that she must take good care of Niu Niu.

Li Mingqing came out pushing his bicycle.

"Mom, wife, please come in and sit down and chat. I'm going to town first."

"Go to work now."

Before he reached the village entrance, he saw Xu Ergou with his head down being scolded by Old Lady Xu.

It's rare to see her scolding Xu Ergou. She used to scold Wang Dahahua.

As she was cursing, she looked up and instantly changed into a different person when she saw Li Mingqing.

His originally ferocious face instantly changed into a kind one.

"Mingqing, are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative? That's great. Yaozu, come and say hello to your Uncle Li."

She forcibly pulled Xu Yaozu, who knew nothing, and waved to him.

Xu Ergou stood there with his head lowered, looking pleasant yet uncomfortable.

Li Mingqing didn't say anything but still gave the child a smile.

After he left, Old Lady Xu said, "See, I told you that our Yaozu has great potential."

"Mom, no way."

"If you can't speak, just shut up. Our Xu family has a number one scholar among our ancestors."

Wang Dahong came hurriedly carrying three hoes and was scolded: "It's such a waste of effort to ask you to go home to get something. Don't you know how to jog over here? You've wasted my time here. I've done less work and earned fewer work points."

He doesn't let anyone go, no matter who is in the world.

Except for Xu Yaozu, she spoiled all of them to death. It was a pity that the children didn't grow up, otherwise they would have been raised astray.

She looked at her darling Xu Yaozu and smiled with wrinkles on her face.

"My dear grandson, whether grandma can live a good life in the future depends on you."

When Li Mingqing arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Xiaoling had not arrived yet.

As soon as he opened the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw Yan Xingguo coming over.

"Why are you here?"

"You must have something to ask, otherwise why would I come to see you so early in the morning?"

"Your attitude doesn't sound like you're asking for help."

"Who asked you to do that? It's not like I won't pay you. Let's make it a fair trade."

Li Mingqing said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Why are you dithering like a woman?"

Yan Xingguo said angrily, "I heard that you can get the best rice. I want to come to you to buy 100 kilograms."

"One hundred pounds?"

"Yes, one hundred kilograms. But I didn't want to buy it, my father asked me to buy it. Can you get one hundred kilograms of rice?"

"When do you want it?"

"Any time."

"Okay, then you can come to my house at noon or this afternoon when I get off work and pick it up. I just bought a hundred kilograms a few days ago and haven't opened it yet."

Hearing this, Yan Xingguo looked at him with wide eyes.

He bought a hundred kilograms of rice just like that. He was really willing to spend money on it.

"Did I hear you correctly? You said you have 100 kilograms of rice at home?"

"Yes, but your bicycle won't fit."

"Yes, I can. Then I'll go to your house with you at noon to get it. I just came to try it out. I didn't expect you really have it."

He himself had forgotten where he heard that Li Mingqing knew someone who sold grain.

I didn't expect that there was actually food stored at home.

Yan Xingguo didn't often eat at home and had no idea that the rice jar was empty.

This season, the new batch of grain has not yet arrived, and there is not much grain in stock from last year, so it is not easy to buy grain.

Yan Xingguo had already left when Zhao Xiaoling came over.

"Ming Qing, I met Zhou Yingzi when I came here. She might come over later."

"Come here? What is she doing here?"

"She said she was pregnant, and Zhou Ming was very nice to her."
