"I saved your life and that shameless man's life."

"You're such a pushover! It was clearly Ming Qing who saved us. He saved both of us, but he didn't ask for money like you do. Two dollars is enough. You dare to ask for fifty dollars? I think you're obsessed with money."

After saying this, Li Goudan went into the room and closed the door.

Wu Liqiang looked at the closed door and kicked it hard twice.

The dried yellow clay on the door kept falling down, making it look like it would collapse at any time.

He didn't continue to avoid being blamed.

——

Sun Jiaxue and Old Lady Li came back from the vegetable garden.

Carry two white radishes and a large cabbage and make dumplings in the evening.

The three Li Mingli brothers returned from the county town.

The four brothers gathered together to eat melon seeds.

"Second brother, I heard from mother that you are planning to move to the county town?"

"I just submitted my dorm application, and it's almost certain to be approved. If we can't get into the dorms, we plan to rent a house. It doesn't have to be a fancy one, just something that can keep us out of the elements."

Li Mingfang said with a smile.

"Yes, I think so too," Li Mingyuan agreed.

"Before, we wanted to buy the right house if we could find one. But two days ago, I went to see a house, and as soon as I walked in and heard the price, I lost interest in looking at it. I couldn't bear to buy it."

"It's strange, but before I didn't have much money, I was just frugal. Now that I only have 30 or 40 yuan a month, I'm even more frugal."

Li Mingli also said: "Yes, the more money you save, the more reluctant you are to spend it."

"Brother, you still have to spend money. If you want to buy a house, it's best to buy one with a shop."

"With a shop?"

"Yes, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Although Li Mingli and the other two did not understand why they had to buy a house with a shop, they felt that what Li Mingqing said was definitely right.

The three people really took his words to heart.

"If we all move to the county town in the future, Dad and Mom can stay here for a week each month, so they won't get bored in the village."

"Yes, you can live in whoever's house you want."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Mom said it would be nice to live in the village. We'll do it when we can no longer walk."

"I can imagine the gossip that would circulate in the village if that were the case. They would definitely say we are ungrateful and have no conscience despite having made a good living."

Li Mingfang joked.

What he said makes sense.

You can see it from Li Mingqing.

If he didn't return to the village for a month, people would say he was unfilial and ungrateful.

Old man Li came into the house from outside, holding a green radish in his hand. "It's a freshly pulled radish, half for each of you."

"I thought you were visiting friends. Why did you take so long in the vegetable garden?"

“It’ll be fun to watch.”

"Dad, what's going on?"

"The Wang Mazi and Wu Li families are arguing."

The two people's vegetable gardens are adjacent, with two stones as the dividing line.

In order to facilitate vegetable planting in the spring, the two went to the vegetable garden ridges and dug soil from their own vegetable gardens.

After a while, they started arguing.

Wang Mazi felt that Wu Li had disturbed the soil in his vegetable garden.

Wu Li felt that Wang Mazi was digging so hard into his vegetable garden that he had crossed the dividing line.

Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Guiying not only did not try to stop the fight, but instead added fuel to the fire.

These two old ladies are not easy to deal with.

They disliked each other to begin with and neither of them would give in.

If the old village chief had not happened to be there, there would have been a fight.

Old Lady Li came over and said, "Weren't you fine when I left?"

"They started arguing as soon as you left."

"Okay, I see Wang Mazi and Wu Li sitting together smoking and chatting, and they're having a great time."

"Both families are trying to take advantage. We've been farming in such a small garden for most of our lives, so we don't know what's there to fight over. It's just a shovel or two of soil, so it won't make much of a difference."

The family had a reunion dinner.

The last time we got together was last month.

We have been busy since we started working, and it is difficult to get together because we have different off-duty schedules.

"Ming Qing, how about going to Shanghai this time?"

“It’s no different from being in the county town.”

"I saw the photos you brought back last time. There's a huge difference. It's so prosperous, with a lot of traffic and tall buildings."

"It's not that high," Li Mingqing said calmly.

Old Lady Li said, "It's not that high. It looks quite high when you stand on the ground. There are no buildings that tall in the county."

"This time when I went to Shanghai, Aunt Xu asked you about it specifically and told you to come when you have time."

"You can't go there every day. Just go once to enjoy the sight."

——

Li Mingqing has been busy since he went to the pharmaceutical factory.

Although I am not working, I am not idle at all.

Every day I either sent telegrams or made phone calls to Shanghai.

Especially Song Jianzhong.

I would send him telegrams every now and then to ask him questions.

If he didn't know that Song Jianzhong didn't have that many ideas in his head, he would have suspected that he was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Sometimes we start swearing at each other over the phone if we have a disagreement.

Song Jianzhong is really too stubborn to understand such a simple principle as learning by analogy.

Here is another transferred call from Shanghai.

"Ming Qing, why don't you reply? Do you know how anxiously we are waiting?"

"What are you barking about? You're such a loser! Don't push your work onto me. I've never seen anyone as dumb as you. If you can't do it, get out of here!"

Li Mingqing cursed across the phone without sparing any effort.

It never ends.

I just called back yesterday and I called again today.

Xu Jianshu and his friends don’t have so many things to do.

"It's because you're the only one who can solve this problem. If you could solve it, I'd rather die than call you."

Song Jianzhong said nonchalantly.
