"Stop! Do you look down on me?"

"Neuropathy."

"You definitely don't know how good my grades were when I was in school. When I get into the city, you'll be begging me for help."

Li Mingqing laughed when he heard this.

It's been a long time since I've seen such an ignorant person.

He really knows how to flatter himself.

"I suggest you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of person you are. I beg you? In your next life. Get out of the way, or don't blame me for taking action."

Zhou Jingli moved aside to avoid being beaten.

In the past few years, he has not dared to challenge Li Mingqing and only dared to say a few words about him behind his back.

When he knew he had a chance to return to the city, he became arrogant.

Thinking that he could return to the city, he became more assertive and determined to crush Li Mingqing.

I don't know how much I weigh.

When Cui Ji and Cheng Youfeng passed by, they saw Zhou Jingli standing on the side of the road cursing.

"Jingli, are you going with us to the county town tomorrow?"

"go!"

Since I couldn’t borrow the book, I must go to the county town to buy it.

He had to spend money again, and he didn't have much money.

Zhou Jingli changed his mind.

He smiled flatteringly and said, "Cui Ji, You Feng, are you going to buy books?"

"Yeah, we only have a few months to prepare for the exam, so we have to hurry up."

"Then I won't go. I'll just borrow it and have a look at it when you buy it. It would be a waste to buy it. You know my situation. I really can't afford it."

"Uh—you'd better buy it yourself."

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough space for several people to read a book.

Zhou Jingli glared at them and walked away angrily.

Cui Ji and Cheng Youfeng knew what kind of person he was, but they didn't care and were used to it.

The old village chief was grazing sheep on the slope behind the village.

Li Mingqing went to his house but couldn't find him. He heard from his daughter-in-law Wu Tong that he was grazing sheep behind the village.

"Village Chief, I finally found you."

"Why are you here? Is something wrong?"

"Please find a good day. I even brought the lunar calendar."

He handed the lunar calendar to the old village chief.

"Look at the date? It seems like we're going to do something big."

"It's not a big deal. Are there any good days at the end of the month?"

"Yes, thirty is the best day."

Li Mingqing will go home on a good day.

There is a week of preparation time, so there is definitely enough time.

——

Early the next morning.

Li Mingqing got up early and returned to the county town.

He had to custom-make the dining table, stools, and kitchenware.

In the furniture store, I ordered twelve tables and forty-eight stools.

I went to the store again and looked.

The room has been decorated and cleaned in advance, and we just have to wait for the dishes to be delivered.

After a busy afternoon, I finally bought everything I needed.

Sun Jiaxue came over during the lunch break.

"Wife, everything has been bought. We still need to find two waiters and a chef."

"It's easy to find a waiter, but it's probably hard to find a chef."

"Do you remember the Zheng Hang and his son who came to our house to see a doctor? Zheng Hang's father was a chef. After he fell ill, he was fired because they were worried that he had an infectious disease. He still hasn't found a job."

"That's perfect."

Li Mingqing went to Zheng's house to look for someone in the afternoon.

If it weren't for Xiaohong and Xiaozhe, he wouldn't have known that Zheng's father was a chef.

Zheng Hang's father was sitting at the door picking vegetables.

After seeing Li Mingqing, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking that he was dizzy and hallucinating.

"Comrade Li, please sit down."

He wiped the bench next to him clean with his sleeve and handed it over.

"I heard that you used to be a cook in a textile factory. Have you found a job now?"

"Not yet," he said sheepishly.

"I opened a restaurant in front of the hospital. It will open at the end of the month. Can you come and be the chef?"

Father Zheng said in disbelief: "Open a restaurant! Can I go?"

"Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine. I'll find someone else."

“I’ll go!”

He is old and it is difficult for him to find a job.

In the past two days, he has basically searched all the factories in the county.

There was simply no free space for him to work.

One carrot, one hole.

It was particularly difficult to find, so he planned to take Zheng Hang back to the village to live.

At least we can still grow vegetables in the village.

Living in the county town is simply like living off one's savings and one won't be able to survive for long.

Li Mingqing looked at the house where he lived.

Only a few square meters.

It can only accommodate the father and son, and there is no room for one more person.

There was half a cornmeal pancake on the table.

There were a few drops of oil in the soup in the pot, but it was basically water.

But the house is quite tidy.

Before leaving, Li Mingqing said, "Go to the shop across from the county hospital in three days."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Zheng's father agreed with great excitement.

I didn't expect to get such a good opportunity out of nowhere. Now I don't have to go back to the village.

——

Three days later.

It happened to be the weekend.

Zheng Hang and his son came over together.

Anyone in Old Li's family who is free comes to help.

Old Lady Li and Daya Yang were busy wiping the table.

The newly customized table is quite clean, just need to wipe off the dust.

Li Mingqing and Zheng's father said, "I'll take you to the kitchen to see if the layout is suitable. If it's not convenient, we can adjust it."

Father Zheng went in and took a look around.

"It's good. Kitchens are usually arranged like this."

He admired Li Mingqing very much.

It seems like he can do everything.

"I learned this in the kitchen of a state-owned hotel."

He has not been idle at all these two days.
