Lu Wensheng and his companions could not resist the enthusiastic invitation of the village chief, so they went to his house for a meal in the evening. It was already eight o'clock when they returned home after eating and drinking.
They had originally planned to light up the kang after returning home, but to their surprise, the room felt warm as soon as they entered the door. Upon closer inspection, they found that the stove outside was full of wood chips and the water in the pot was hot, just right for washing.
"No wonder little Mengzi went out in the middle of the meal. It turned out that he came back to heat the kang."
Shen Lingling also nodded: "In the past two years, he has been doing all the dirty and tiring work at home.
He also takes care of the pigs I raise without any complaints, which is not easy.”
"Let's reward him well tomorrow. Let's go to sleep first. We must be tired after a busy day." Lu Wensheng said while yawning.
A dreamless night
The next day, Shen Lingling got up early and made Meng Qingtang's favorite steamed pork ribs.
I carried the spare ribs back from the county town yesterday. I had originally planned to save them for New Year's Day, but since little Mengzi likes them, I'll make them quickly since I have to slaughter the New Year pig soon.
Meng Qingtang went into the mountains early in the morning. A few days ago, Lu Hao said he wanted to eat rabbits, so he dug a few traps when no one was around. It happened that Shengsheng and Lingling also came back today, so he thought of trying his luck. If there was prey, he could also have a meat dish.
When he came back with the basket on his back, he could smell the rich aroma from home from afar. Looking at the chimney with smoke rising from it, Meng Qingtang quickened his pace.
Woohoo, the family finally has some popularity...
These days he has been playing the role of both father and mother, taking care of that annoying Xiao Luzi. It’s better for Shengsheng to be at home!
"Brother Meng is back? Come over quickly for dinner, we've been waiting for you!" When Ma Hao heard some noise outside, he stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted.
“Here I come.”
When he saw the full pot of steamed pork ribs with rice flour on the table, he couldn't help but glowed. He had been craving for this for a long time, but he didn't expect to be able to eat it today.
Looking at Shen Lingling who was busy cleaning the stove, he said: "Thank you Lingling!"
"You're welcome. Come eat quickly. We still have to feed the pigs later!"
Meng Qingtang: "..."
Got it, this is a sugar-coated bullet!
Ma Yingjie didn't dare to interrupt, he just buried his head in drinking the malted milk in his bowl:
Woohoo, at least Brother Meng can feed pigs, but I am just a freeloader, I don’t deserve to speak…
Finally, Lu Wensheng came over after washing up. Ma Yingjie seemed to come alive suddenly. He jumped up from the bench and came forward with a smile:
"Sister Lu, come here quickly. I'll tell you about Li Laizi."
Li Laizi: Why am I always the one who gets hurt...
Without waiting for Lu Wensheng to speak, Ma Yingjie pushed him to sit at the table and began to talk nonstop:
“Sister Lu, you don’t know how courageous Li Laizi is.
The story begins with buying review materials.
Didn’t he sell a lot of review materials a while ago and made a lot of money?
He has been floating since he got rich. He doesn’t like Zhao Ying anyway. He also complains that Zhao Ying doesn’t lay eggs. She only gave birth to a daughter after such a long time. So recently his eyes are not eyes and his nose is not nose. . .
Just a few days ago, he was bragging to others under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, saying that he had become rich and would divorce Zhao Ying sooner or later.
He was sullen every day and had ruined the family's blessings. He also said that she was like a dead fish and had no sense of romance at all. He said a lot of nasty things.
As luck would have it, he was unlucky for his words were heard by Zhao Ying, who had just returned from the market. Without saying a word, she picked up a nearby wooden stick and started beating him on the head.
Li Laizi's body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, so there was no way he could beat Zhao Ying. He was chased by her around the village several times, and after the fight he was covered in wounds. The money he had secretly hidden was confiscated, and he was not allowed to return home.
Just a few days ago, he came to our house with a bean pillow and slept for two days! He is so shameless that I can’t drive him away..."
"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't Li Laizi's mother very powerful?" Lu Wensheng questioned.
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but when he mentioned it, Ma Yingjie shuddered:
"Don't mention it, his mother doesn't even dare to care about Zhao Ying's affairs now.
Sister Lu, you don’t know, but a while ago Zhao Ying got some laxatives from somewhere and put them in the old lady’s food. She had diarrhea for several days and almost pulled out her intestines.
Another time, he decided to go all out and gave the old lady rat poison, but she caught him on the spot.
Zhao Ying said without blushing or panting, "If it doesn't work this time, there will be next time. I don't believe that you will never eat the food I cook in your life."
Since then, the old lady never dared to act like a demon again. Perhaps she was traumatized and didn’t dare to eat the food cooked by Zhao Ying for half a year.
Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling looked at each other. Zhao Ying also has this ability? ? ? ?
Think about the original owner who died tragically in the original book...
This person, it turns out, still has to stand on his own feet!

The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month
The commune is holding its New Year market today. As the policies have been relaxed recently, the market is gradually becoming lively, and members are bringing out their treasured items to sell.
Shen Lingling, Lu Wensheng and their friends set out early in the morning. The two bicycles at home could just carry four people.
They planned to buy some local specialties and bring them back to the city, especially Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling.
They all have space to put anything in, no need to worry about it going bad. If you miss this episode now, you won't have the chance later.
Yes, this will be their last market in Liao Province, and they planned to return to the city on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
They were the last group to arrive. Many educated youth left the next day after receiving their admission letters. They didn't want to stay in such a shabby place for another day.
So now all the educated youth sites are empty, and Li Xiangyang still complains that Lu Wensheng and the others left too early!
"At least we can leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There will definitely be lanterns in the city this year."
Lu Wensheng not only did not agree, but also advised against it:
"Uncle, why don't you come with us to the capital on the tenth day of the first lunar month? That will be a good opportunity to deliver the food to us.
Lingling said that the lanterns in Beijing are so beautiful. Don’t you want to go see Tiananmen Square? Don’t you want to see the Great Wall? Don’t you want to see the Temple of Heaven? "
Li Xiangyang: Damn it! What should I do if my heart is moved?
Li Fugui, who was watching the fight between the old and the young, said: "Uncle, how about we watch it together?"
What to do, he is moved!
