As get off work was about to get off, Li Mingqing weighed a pound of egg cake to take home.

After arriving home, I took out a box of canned fruit and a bottle of malted milk.

"Wife, I'm going to the village chief's house for dinner, would you like to come?"

"I won't go."

"Okay, you and your daughter can cook and eat at home, or you can go to mom's place to eat."

After giving his instructions, he took the things in his hands and went to the village chief's house.

I met Li Dahua on the way.

She knew that Li Mingqing went to the village chief's house for dinner, and the team leader told her when he came back.

I thought, if I had known there were so many good things, I would have let him come to my house for a meal. It’s just a meal of rice, but he can exchange it for so many precious foods.

If she were asked to spend money to buy it, she would be reluctant to do so.

"Mingqing, are you going to your village uncle's house?"

"Yes, let's go and have a chat."

Li Xianghong waited until he was far away and whispered, "Mom, no wonder my sister can't let go. Why do I feel that he is much better than my brother-in-law?"

"You little girl, I'm warning you, don't say that in front of your sister."

"Don't worry, Mom. I won't tell anyone."

"Oh, your sister made me so worried. After all, she gave birth to a son, and the next step is to worry about you. After what happened with your sister, I think I understand. The villagers are pretty good."

Li Xianghong stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, I'm still young."

"What's so young about that? After the New Year, you'll be eighteen and it's time to get married."

After she said that, she thought about asking a matchmaker to pick a few for her.

Before Li Mingqing arrived at the village chief's house, he saw smoke coming out of his chimney. He guessed that Li Minglan and Wu Tong were busy cooking.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard voices coming from the yard.

When he entered, Li Mingfu called out, "Dad, Mingqing is here."

The village chief and the team leader stood up and came out to greet them.

"Why did you bring so many things?"

"I'm here to give everyone a taste. It's not something expensive."

Li Mingfu's two sons, Li Xiangnong and Li Xianggong, couldn't take their eyes off the plastic bag after seeing it and kept staring at it.

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Give the child some egg cake to try."

"Why don't you thank Uncle Mingqing?"

"Thank you, uncle," the two children said in unison.

"You're welcome. I brought a lot, enough to eat."

Li Mingfu took out a piece of egg cake, cut it in half and handed it to them.

The sun was setting and the room was dark.

They didn't turn on the lights before Li Mingqing came. At least it wasn't dark yet, so they could still see vaguely.

The village chief went into the house first and turned on the light.

It's finally bright now.

"Mingqing, the grain seeds we borrowed from you at the beginning of the spring are all recorded in the village account book. We will deliver them to you when you have a day off."

"Okay, no rush."

"One thing is one thing, but this year the village is particularly confident."

"Yes, each family received a lot more food than before. I heard that many people wanted to come to the village to borrow food from their relatives after hearing about it."

"There will definitely be relatives who want to borrow grain. Even when the harvest wasn't this good, people would come. Not to mention this year's harvest is so good. It's a blessing if there's no fighting."

Li Mingqing thought that what he said was correct.

One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.

Everyone in the surrounding villages must have known about it.

"Uncle, you have to be more careful at night. There might be evil people coming to the village to steal food."

"Don't worry about this. I told the villagers about it a couple of days ago, and they're all paying extra attention."

"Speaking of this matter, you should pay more attention. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can tell which house in the village has stored food. And your wife's family might cause trouble again."

"Wangcai lies at the gate every day. Anyone brave enough to come here might end up bleeding."

Wangcai’s sharp teeth are not grown for nothing.

"Speaking of which, your Wangcai's shout can be heard dozens of meters away, and basically the whole village can hear it."

"Wolf dogs are more alert and fierce than ordinary local dogs, so you should be more careful if you have children at home."

Hearing the captain's reminder, Li Mingqing nodded.

"A year goes by so fast. Chinese New Year will be here in a few months."

"Yeah, I'm another year older."

Li Minglan came in with a plate and said, "Dad, uncle, you are very young."

"What's so young about that? Speaking of youth, no one can compare to your grandparents."

“You really are getting younger as you grow older.”

"There are fewer worries, and my four sons don't have to worry about food and drink. It's what youth is supposed to do."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "You're really not old. It's a good time to enjoy life, with children and grandchildren all around."

The village chief, the team leader and the villagers definitely live a better life.

Of course, they can't be compared with the old couple of the Li family.

The tonic he took out from the system space was not taken in vain.

"Minglan, just make two dishes. We won't be able to finish more."

"Brother, there are only two more dishes left."

At least four dishes have to be cooked, two is really unbearable.

Wu Tong looked at Xiang Nong and Xiang Gong who were sitting at the kitchen door eating egg cakes.

"Little sister, look at how greedy these two kids are."

"Children are greedy."

"Chop the cabbage and some more meat. Let's make pork and vermicelli stew."

The aunt and sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen.

Li Mingqing looked at the bowl of food in front of him.

Stand out.

It was full of meat, I was afraid that all the cut meat went into his bowl.

He was not really that crazy about eating meat, let alone large chunks of fat.

"I can't eat it. I wasn't hungry anyway. I'll pick out the meat before I even start eating. Let the two kids come and eat."

"There's more in the pot. This is specially made for you."

“I really can’t eat it.”

In the end, I picked out most of the meat and gave it to the two children.
