Li Mingqing took all the things he brought back to the old house.

He and Sun Jiaxue returned to the new house next door.

"Brother Mingqing, Mom cleaned the yard really well. There aren't even a few fallen leaves in the yard."

“It’s clean.”

A few scattered poplar leaves lay on the ground.

The cicadas in the trees kept chirping "zhi-la, zhi-la".

In another week, these cicadas will probably be gone, and summer will be over soon.

Li Mingqing sat on the stone bench under the tree.

It's quite cool.

There is a leisurely feeling like picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence.

No wonder scholars and writers love to live in the countryside, it is indeed comfortable and free.

I didn’t feel this way when I lived in the village before.

But after moving to the county town for a week, I felt more and more comfortable in the village.

But it may be that I am not used to living there.

Sun Jiaxue picked up a basin and wiped the stone table in front of him.

"Wife, sit down and rest for a while."

"I'm not tired. I'll go get the dust cloth in the room and shake it out. There isn't much dust, but there is still some."

After she finished speaking, she went into the house and took out a piece of black cloth in less than a minute.

You can definitely see some dust.

Just as I finished, I saw Wu Tong and Li Mingfu coming over carrying hoes.

Li Mingfu put the hoe aside carelessly and said, "Mingqing, you are finally back."

"What do you mean?"

"There's something I want to ask you, I'm not sure if I can do it myself."

Li Mingqing saw his serious look and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My dad is old, and he wants to take a break and let me take over. Do you think it's reliable?"

"The village chief looks very healthy."

"Yeah, that's what I told my dad too, but he said he wanted to give me a heads up first so I could be more discerning and take action when the time is right."

Li Mingfu was both excited and a little hesitant.

He was still too young and was afraid that he could not control the villagers.

He was also afraid that the villagers would have objections to him being the village chief.

Li Mingqing looked at him and felt that it was really difficult for the village chief to make plans for his son so early.

"What do you think?"

"My father is in good health. I don't think there's any rush."

"You can help your father convey the town's opinions from time to time. The villagers are all smart people, and they will understand after a while."

Li Mingfu waved his hand.

"Come on, forget it. Every time I see Old Lady Xu and the other ladies, I get scared."

"It's normal to see them frightened."

These ladies are much more difficult to deal with than the gentlemen.

He won't eat anything.

Think about what those aunties did to him when he first came to the village.

The lethality of those mouths should not be underestimated.

Wu Tong looked at Sun Jiaxue carrying the basin and said, "Jiaxue, you are really dressed properly. Wearing such light clothes in the village will get dirty quickly."

"Sister-in-law, when did you come?"

"You just sat down. You don't know, but the young wives in the village are jealous of you. You're just like the people in the city."

She said it with envy and praise.

Sun Jiaxue felt a little embarrassed.

"These clothes were bought for me by Brother Mingqing. They make me feel cool even in the summer."

"Yes, it's really beautiful. No wonder Ming Qing loves you."

Her skin is smooth and tender, and her figure is charming. The hem of her skirt makes her legs look longer and her waist slimmer.

She doesn't look like a mother of three children at all.

If you don’t know, you might think she is a grown-up girl.

Even a woman like her was envious when she saw it.

Sun Jiaxue quickly changed the subject and asked, "How is Minglan?"

"I'm fine. The family I'm marrying into is very understanding. I just received a letter saying I'm three months pregnant."

"Really? That's great."

"We thought we'd go see her before the fall harvest."

“It’s really a sweet after a lot of hardship.”

Wu Tong smiled and said, "I heard that He Ming from Hejia Village is still single. He doesn't even have a decent house. He lies on the street in Hejia Village all day. He has done so many immoral things, and he is really getting retribution."

Sun Jiaxue said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get something."

Five minutes later.

She came out carrying a small bundle and a piece of cotton cloth.

"Sister-in-law, these are the clothes that Xiaozhe and Niuniu wore when they were little. If you go to Minglan's place, bring them over. Wear them if you can, and use them as rags if you can't. This piece of cotton cloth can be considered an early gift for the birth of the child."

Wu Tong happily opened the bundle.

The clothes given to Xiaozhe and his children must be made of good material.

What a treasure.

"Look at this dress, it hasn't changed at all. It feels so comfortable in my hands. Ouch, my hands are so rough that I'm going to give up. Thank you on behalf of Minglan."

"It's okay. There's no use leaving it here."

Li Mingqing has no plans to have more children; three children are just right.

Wu Tong tied the bundle carefully.

Think about it, few children in the village are lucky enough to wear such comfortable clothes.

Most of them are altered clothes from adults.

Really good, just like new.

Li Mingfu and Li Mingqing chatted for about half an hour.

Li Mingqing felt that he regarded himself as a psychological counselor.

I came to him to help him solve his problems.

I carefully considered the young people in the village.

After all consideration, he is indeed quite suitable to take over as village chief.

"Ming Qing, actually, my father wanted you to be the village chief at first. If you were the village chief, everyone would definitely respect you. It's a pity that you moved to the county town."

Hearing this, three black lines crossed Li Mingqing's forehead.

Making a fuss.

He is the village chief?

The village chief has to worry about so many things and ages very quickly.

It’s a good thing that he moved to the county town.

Otherwise, this thankless job would fall on him.
