Look at these rows of brick and tile houses, Lijia Village is unique when you walk across the town.

Evergreen pines and cypresses are planted along the roadside.

The main road was swept clean.

"Our village is nice."

"It's more than good. It seems that the villagers are living a happy life."

"If you calculate carefully, the villagers have several sources of income throughout the year. Everyone can eat and wear warm clothes, and there is still money left to build a house. For the villagers, this is the peak of life."

Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue were happy for their fellow villagers.

I hope the village will develop better and better in the future.

Li Xiangjun looked at Li Mingqing at the village entrance and immediately shouted, "Fellow villagers, the Mingqing family is back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the villagers around him stand up and run towards the village entrance.

Li Mingqing greeted so many people when he saw them coming over: "Fellow villagers, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year! Ming and Qing look like they are high-ranking officials."

"Oh, you know what, Ming and Qing haven't changed much over the years. Unlike us, they don't look their age at all."

"A forty-year-old man is a flower in his own right."

"Ming Qing's wife looks young too. Who can tell that she is the mother of three children?"

"That being said, the people in Old Li's family look younger than their peers."

…

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "The villagers are all very happy."

"Thanks to you," Li Xiangjun said sincerely.

"This is the result of the hard work of the villagers. I hope Lijia Village will get better and better," he instructed.

Old Man Li looked at the enthusiastic villagers and said, "Ming Qing just came back, let them go home and rest first. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

The old village chief echoed: "Yes, folks, let Ming Qing and his family rest for a while."

Hong Bin's mother said, "Traveling must be tiring. I took a train a few months ago. It was so crowded and tiring. It's better to be home."

"Mingqing, you should go home and have some rest," Li Dahua said enthusiastically.

Wang Dazhu also said: "Yes, everyone can tell me if you have anything to say. I have seen a lot in the provincial capital."

Li Mingqing saw his high-spirited appearance and said with a smile, "It seems that you are living a happy life in the provincial capital."

"Of course, I have to turn over a new leaf and become a new man. I can't bring shame to my wife."

What he said was sincere. He and Liu Jiajia have had a very good relationship in the past year.

Li Goudan hid behind the crowd and secretly glanced at Li Mingqing.

Oh, I'm so tired. I will never be able to catch up with Li Mingqing in this lifetime.

Forget it, I’m content with the life I have now.

I will complete my mission by saving money and finding a wife for my son in the future.

Li Xiaowei whispered, "Dad, my mother told me to talk to Uncle Mingqing about going to the capital."

Hearing this, Li Goudan sounded the alarm: "Xiaowei, don't listen to your mother. She has a lot of hair but little knowledge. I know Li Mingqing, she might beat you up. Lijia Village is developing well, stay here steadily. Our family of three will save some money in the next two years, and then we can find you a wife."

"Okay, I'll listen to Dad."

He nodded in agreement without even thinking.

I really don’t have the courage to talk to Li Mingqing.

Thinking back to the time when Li Xiaowei was slapped by him, the power of that slap did not diminish at all with the passage of time.

Thinking about it now still makes my face burn.

Dad is right. If you work hard, you can have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and get married.

Li Mingqing and his family returned to their new house.

Zhang Lihua smiled and said, "Mom and I cleaned the new house twice yesterday, so there's no need to clean up."

Sun Jiaxue expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, mother, and thank you, sisters-in-law."

"Well, we are family and we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs. It's a bit strange to say that," Li Mingli said with a smile.

night.

The whole family gathered together for dinner.

Li Mingfang: "Mingqing, I heard from Xiang Jun that Zhou Jingli wants to take your house."

"Well, Xiang Jun called me before and told me that I asked Xiang Jun and Mingfu to help watch over the case. If Zhou Jingli dares to break into the house, I will ask them to report to the police station," said Li Mingqing.

"What's going on with this educated youth Zhou Jingli? Didn't he become a live-in son-in-law before? Why is he back in the village? He's an educated youth from the city, but he doesn't want to return to the city. I really don't understand."

Li Mingyuan said while cracking melon seeds.

Yang Daya said excitedly: "I know."

Old Lady Li asked in confusion, "How did you know this when you're not in the village all year round?"

"Mom, I'm a professional at getting information. Even though I've only been back for two days, I know everything that's happened this past year. Zhou Jingli was kicked out by his father-in-law because of his dirty deeds. There was no place for him to live in the city, so he had no choice but to return to our village. He moved to our village when he moved to the countryside, and his household registration has never been moved out."

She explained the matter clearly in a few words.

Li Mingqing: "If he doesn't change, the village won't tolerate him anymore."

"Yes, the villagers are annoyed when they see him and are worried that he will steal things from their homes," said Li Mingfang.

"Fourth brother, if you come back, the one named Zhou will definitely come to see you," Li Mingqing reminded.

Li Mingqing smiled nonchalantly and said, "He's afraid I'll beat him up, so he probably doesn't dare to come."

"You never know. If he gets desperate, he'll be waiting for you to save his life. You better be careful these days. And you kids, especially Niuniu, please be more vigilant."

Old Lady Li reminded cautiously.

"Grandma, we got it."

Niuniu and the others said in unison.

The next day.

Li Mingqing enjoyed his rare leisure time sitting at the door basking in the sun.

I closed my eyes and rested for a short while before I felt a black screen in front of my eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Jingli standing in front of him like a homeless man.

Zhou Jingli stared at the watch on his wrist, his eyes full of greed.
