Li Goudan promised, "Uncle Village Chief, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new man."

He immediately made a sincere promise.

At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain in Lijia Village, but if you are driven out, you will have to sleep in the open air.

After the village chief and the team leader left, he looked into the distance through the fence with a sinister look on his face.

Li Mingqing rode a bicycle and took Sun Jiaxue to the county town to buy a sewing machine, but the supply and marketing cooperative in the town didn't sell it.

"Wife, the county town has everything you need. Just tell me if you want to buy anything."

"good."

When Li Mingqing arrived in the county town, he saw a candied haws seller on the street and bought a string for Sun Jiaxue.

"Brother Mingqing, I'm not a child, why would I buy you candied haws?"

"Why isn't it for a child? Aren't you younger than me? Here, take it."

Sun Jiaxue was holding a candied haws in her hand and looked at one or two children around her who were staring at the candied haws in her hand and drooling. Their faces were flushed by the stares.

Knowing that his wife was shy, Li Mingqing took her hand and walked forward.

"Try it now. If you like it, buy another bunch when you come back later."

She held up the candied haws and passed it to his mouth first, "Try it too."

Seeing her serious look, Li Mingqing lowered his head slightly and took a bite of the candied haws. It tasted sour and sweet and was very refreshing.

"It's quite good. You can eat it too."

The two of them ate a string of candied haws as if they were enjoying delicacies from land and sea, taking turns to eat, looking very intimate.

Li Mingqing didn't expect to meet Qian Kai in the supply and marketing cooperative.

It's his day off today and as a manager he shouldn't be here. He should be enjoying himself at home.

"Manager Qian, are you on duty today?"

"Yes, Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. I was thinking of going to town to see you in a few days."

After hearing this, Li Mingqing knew that they were here to buy food.

"Who is this?" Qian Kai looked at Sun Jiaxue.

"Manager, this is my wife Jiaxue. She came here today to buy a sewing machine."

Qian Kai smiled and said, "A few Butterfly brand sewing machines just came in yesterday. They're shiny new. I'll take you to have a look."

Li Mingqing saw that Sun Jiaxue was reserved and kept holding her hand.

This was the first time Sun Jiaxue had met such a high-ranking official. Seeing that he was dressed so well, she was afraid that she would do something wrong and embarrass Li Mingqing.

"These machines were tested yesterday and there was nothing wrong with them. There were no jams or interruptions."

At this time, Qian Kai really looked like a salesman, and an extremely experienced salesman.

"Manager, can my wife give it a try?"

"It's not that I won't let you try it, but there are regulations. These large items can't be tried. They've all been debugged before being put out, so don't worry."

After listening to it, Li Mingqing felt that it made a lot of sense.

Anything that can appear in a supply and marketing cooperative, especially such a large item, must have gone through layers of inspection.

It took Li Mingqing less than five minutes to buy the sewing machine.

Qian Kai knew that he was a straightforward person, but he didn't expect that he would be so straightforward when buying things.

"Brother Li, it's okay. Come to my house for dinner with my sister-in-law."

"Let's go some other time. I'll definitely go have a drink with you then."

Qian Kai helped lift the sewing machine out and asked, "Have you found a bicycle? This sewing machine can't be placed on a bicycle. It's too heavy."

"The car will probably be here soon, so go and greet the people who are buying things first."

It is not easy to put the sewing machine back into the space with so many people coming and going outside. It can only be moved to a hidden place. Otherwise, if someone sees it, I won’t be able to explain myself even if I have ten mouths.

"Wife, please help me carry the sewing machine to the alley next door."

Sun Jiaxue was extremely happy when she heard this. She finally found a place where she could be of use.

The two of them easily got to the alley, looked around and found no one, so they immediately put them into the space.

Afterwards, the two of them walked towards the town, leisurely, as if they were going for an outing.

I came to the town specifically to find Zhou Jiangang and ask him to deliver the red bricks to the village. The bricks were still in the county town and had been there for several days.

"Brother Li, sister-in-law, have someone deliver it this afternoon. Let me know when the work starts, and I'll go in as a laborer."

"Okay, I'll definitely not miss you when the construction starts."

"I'll go to the county town and find Brother Zheng's people to deliver the bricks and tiles to you."

"Thank you for running around. I'll definitely treat you to a nice meal when I'm done with this."

Zhou Jiangang smiled and said, "That's a bit pretentious. To be honest, I make a lot of money here."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "It seems that I am your God of Wealth."

After chatting for a few minutes, Zhou Jiangang pushed his bicycle towards the county town.

After the couple returned home, Li Mingqing went to ask Old Man Li for a date to start construction. For such a big event as laying the foundation, an auspicious day must be chosen.

We must believe what our ancestors have passed down.

"Dad, can you tell me the date? Pick a good day for me to start the work."

"Have you found someone to do the job?"

"I just happened to come to discuss this with Dad. I'm planning to hire someone from the village. I'll provide a meal at noon and five cents a day. Is that okay with you?"

It's more than OK, it's amazing.

The villagers would come to work just for the lunch, not to mention the five cents a day wage.

If you can save a meal for your family, then save it.

After the busy spring season, it is time to rest for a few days, and the village will not arrange for groups to go to work.

"If it's as you say, the villagers will definitely be happy to come."

Old man Li turned around and took out a red perpetual calendar from the cupboard to check the auspicious day.

Ten minutes later he said, "The day after tomorrow is a good day to break ground."

"Dad, please go out and talk to the villagers. Just pick about ten people. No more than that."
