He Jing asked, "I also want to go to the Li family to buy some cotton. Is what Zhou Zhiqing said true?"

Cui Ji said, "That's not true. I think he's a nice guy. He even told me that his cotton was expensive and told me in advance that it was up to me whether to buy it or not. Look at the quality of the cotton, it's really good, much better than what's sold in the supply and marketing cooperative."

Wu Shengli sighed and said, "Just listen to what Zhou Zhiqing says."

Several people were basking in the sun outside the entrance of the Youth League Institute.

Zhou Jingli was going crazy in the room alone.

I have so much anger that I have no place to vent it.

It was getting dark in the evening and the villagers who had gone to work on the river came back.

We were full of energy when we left, but when we came back, everyone was too tired to talk.

There was some mud on his body.

The village chief was waiting at the door for the team leader to come back and see what happened on the first day.

"How about it?"

"I ate the white flour buns, but I was really tired. My arms were so tired that I couldn't even lift them."

“Do many people from other villages go there?”

"A lot, I went there just for the steamed buns."

They carried shovels and sat on the ground with their backs bent to rest.

Lin Yan said, "The handle of my shovel is broken. I have to replace it tonight to avoid delaying my work tomorrow."

Zhang Tiezhu asked, "Don't you want to rest at home?"

"I still have to go. I saved one to buy white flour buns today."

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded.

Each person was given four white flour buns. Some ate two, some ate three, and kept the rest in their pockets.

Think about it, there wasn’t such a good thing in previous years.

Although it is tiring, it is still worth it to be able to eat white flour buns.

Li Goudan was so tired that he wanted to die. He had never been so tired before. He decided to rest at home tomorrow and go the day after tomorrow.

Although this work can be completed in two or three days.

But life is more important.

The village chief said, "Everyone, go home and rest. It's cold sitting outside after a tiring day."

Old man Zheng slowly stood up from the ground, but suddenly sat down on the ground and fainted.

Zhao Hongbin, who was sitting next to him, was the first to discover it.

He shouted, "Uncle, Uncle Zheng has fainted."

His shout called the person who had walked ten meters away back.

The village chief and the team leader’s first reaction was to go find Li Mingqing.

I thought so and did so.

Li Mingqing was sitting at the table chewing on some spareribs when he heard the village chief standing in the yard and calling out, "Mingqing, your uncle Zheng has fainted. Come and see what's going on."

He immediately went to the cabinet, picked up the medicine box and went out.

Old Mrs. Zheng came out of her house to pick up the old man. When she heard that Old Man Zheng had fainted, she almost fainted too.

The old man is the only one supporting the family.

"I was chatting, but he didn't get up. I was so anxious."

"River work is really tiring. You're so tired at such an old age. I hope nothing happens to you."

"The Zheng family depends on him for support."

"If something really happened, it would be too difficult for Mrs. Zheng, Liu Zhenzhu and their child to be left behind."

"Old Mrs. Zheng has a really hard life."

Several people stood by, worried to death.

Old Lady Zheng came over and choked up, "Old man, you're scaring me."

"Auntie, the village chief has gone to call Ming Qing, everything will be fine."

Li Mingqing came over, squatted down and started taking the patient's pulse.

It's okay, I just have a little health problem, but it's nothing serious.

He must have fainted from hunger.

Mrs. Zheng asked worriedly, "How is it? Are you okay?"

"Fainted from hunger."

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

Fainting from hunger?

That's impossible.

Four big steamed buns were distributed at noon.

It’s much better than what I eat at home. How could I possibly faint from hunger?

"Ming Qing, you must be seeing things. These are the big white flour buns we had for lunch."

"You're right, he fainted from hunger."

After Li Mingqing finished speaking, he saw that his torn cotton jacket had bulged out.

He reached in and felt a plastic bag.

When I took it out, I saw four white flour buns.

He handed the steamed bun to Old Lady Zheng.

Then he took out a silver needle and gave Old Man Zheng a few injections.

When Old Lady Zheng saw him wake up, she cried and scolded him, "You old fool, why aren't you eating? What will happen to our family if something happens to you?"

Li Mingqing took out two pieces of White Rabbit milk candies.

"Uncle, eating a piece of candy will make you feel better."

Old man Zheng took the candy and ate one, and prepared to put the other one in his pocket.

Old Lady Zheng snatched the candy and stuffed it all into his mouth.

The captain and his men were stunned when they saw the four white buns.

After working all day, they were all hungry after having eaten two or three steamed buns, but Old Man Zheng didn't eat any.

Others kept one or two, but he took them all back.

I was cold, hungry and tired, I couldn't bear to think about it.

Being too harsh on yourself.

Mrs. Zheng was still cursing, "You old man, you scared me to death. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to support this family."

The village chief said, "Old Zheng, you can't do this. Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. How can we live without food?"

"Yes, my grandson is still so young, so I have to take care of his health."

Old Man Zheng was reluctant to eat the white flour buns, but he ate a lot of pickles and drank several bowls of water. He was not very hungry, so he saved the buns and took them back.

He didn't expect to faint even after getting home.

"Ming Qing, is your uncle Zheng really okay?"

"I'm just very hungry, it's okay."

The team leader and the village chief breathed a sigh of relief, as something serious had almost happened.

Old Man Zhang said, "Old Zheng, you are really cruel to yourself."

"If I wasn't hungry at noon, I didn't eat."

Not hungry?

No one believes this nonsense.

Li Mingqing felt a little sad when he heard this while carrying the medicine box.
