Li Mingqing took a look around the new house and found that it was almost dry and they could move in soon.
The glass that Zheng Chenggong sent last time has been installed, and we are just waiting for the furniture to be moved in.
The new house is particularly clean, all thanks to Mrs. Li and Mr. Li.
Anyone passing by can't help but take a look inside.
When he returned he was stunned.
Several children actually brought back a large bunch of sparrows.
As the saying goes, a sparrow may be small but it has all the organs, so it is still a piece of meat after all.
Li Xiangdong counted them and found that there were more than twenty in total, and each family got nearly seven or eight.
"Son, you actually got some meat."
Yang Daya was very happy as she pulled Li Xiangnan, as they could finally eat some meat.
Li Mingli and Li Mingfang worked together to remove all the feathers from the sparrows and cleaned them up, including those from Erniu and Sanniu.
Li Xiangdong returned the slingshot to Li Mingqing and said, "Uncle, I'm giving it back to you."
"I'm giving it to you."
There was no need for Li Mingqing to take it back. Since the children liked it so much, he could just give it to them.
"Are you really giving it to us?"
"Really, but don't hurt anyone."
Da Niu and Xiangdong and a few others were jumping for joy.
Don’t underestimate this small slingshot, it is a toy that children in the village dream of.
In just one afternoon, the Li family's children became the kings of the village, and everyone wanted to play with them.
Li Mingqing smiled as he watched the jumping children, and then smiled back.
Is this the fun of being a child? A small slingshot is like winning the lottery.
Li Mingli quickly said, "Stop jumping around and go get some water."
There was no reason for him to refuse, so he happily scooped water for Li Mingli and Li Mingfang to wash the sparrows.
"Fourth brother must come over to drink soup."
"Brother, you guys should eat. We just had lunch and we're not hungry anymore."
Li Mingfang took out a few cleaned sparrows and handed them to him, "Here."
Li Mingqing refused: "You guys eat it, we just ate it last night."
He had meat in his space, so there was no need to share it with several other families. After all, the three families hadn't seen meat for a long time.
"Don't try, fourth brother. Stop trying to persuade me."
Yang Daya's pot is already cooked and she's just waiting for the meat to be put in.
While the meat was cooked, Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue happened to go out.
"Let's open the pot and try it before leaving. There's no rush," said Zhang Lihua.
"Sister-in-law, no need."
As soon as Li Mingqing left, the Yang brothers came over. The two brothers came to report the news that all the furniture had been made.
I was envious of the magnificent tiled house.
Originally, the two brothers thought that Li Mingqing’s house would not be able to accommodate so many pieces of furniture. They underestimated him. Such a big house could accommodate twice as many pieces of furniture.
The two of them went to Old Li's house and asked symbolically, "Is this Li Mingqing's house?"
"Yes, if you had run into him a few minutes earlier, he would have just left. Who are you?"
"We are carpenters from Yangjia Village. We have made the furniture that Brother Li wants."
The three sisters-in-law were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that Li Mingqing would go out of their way to specially make new furniture.
What a luxury.
"Thank you for the trouble. We will tell our fourth brother. Come in and sit for a while."
"No, I'm going home first because I'm busy."
After seeing off the Yang brothers, the three sisters-in-law looked at each other.
"It's truly unique in the village. I might have felt uneasy before, but now I don't have any thoughts at all."
Yang Daya said frankly.
"Yeah, since this brother-in-law is rich, our families have benefited from it."
"My uncle and Jiaxue are kind-hearted and respectable people. Look at how much weight those kids have gained from eating and drinking for free."
"My second sister-in-law is right. These past two days, our children have stood out from the crowd. They have rosy complexions, unlike the other children who are so skinny."
This was the first time the three sisters-in-law spoke about this matter so frankly and honestly.
The three of them sighed and then took their tools to go to the fields to work.
Yang Daya's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and Li Mingfang was very nervous. He rarely let her do heavy work, and she was satisfied as long as she could earn three or four work points a day.
Qin Chenglan, who became pregnant at about the same time as Yang Daya, was sweating profusely with her big belly.
Qin Chenglan is so thin that you can't tell she is pregnant unless you look closely.
Covering up with loose clothes makes it look like someone is not pregnant.
Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, complained that she worked too slowly.
"You're not as lucky as the Li family's wife, who works so efficiently. And you, after all, are a man, yet you work so slowly. Do you think you're worthy of what your father said? You can't even rest in peace after your father's death."
Old Lady Zhang is Zhang Tiezhu's stepmother. Not long after she got together with Old Man Zhang, she became a widow again.
From then on, he stayed in the Zhang family and never looked for anyone else.
Her first man also died shortly after marrying her.
Everyone said that she was unlucky in marriage and it was difficult for her to find someone to live with, so no one wanted to marry her.
Zhang Tiezhu felt sorry for his wife and said, "Mom, Chenglan is too old to work like this."
"Okay, let's all stop working and starve together."
"That's not what I meant."
"I think that's what you mean. But don't forget what your father said when he died. You must respect me well. Although I'm not your biological mother, it's for the good of our family."
Zhang Tiezhu lowered his head. This was getting too much.
He wants to split up the family business.
His father only asked him to provide for her in her old age, but did not ask him to obey her in everything.
What she did during this time was too much and unacceptable.
Yang Daya felt that Old Lady Zhang was ungrateful for what she had and would regret it in the future.
"Mom, if you treat my wife like this again, let's separate."
"Okay, you've already realized that I'm a burden. Don't dream of splitting up unless I die."
Zhang Tiezhu helped Qin Chenglan sit down and rest.
"Wife, are you feeling unwell?"
"fine."
The villagers thought Zhang Tiezhu was really kind-hearted. If it were someone else, the old woman, who had no relatives or friends, would have been kicked out long ago.
Old Mrs. Zhang looked at Qin Chenglan's belly viciously.
It’s all because of the baby in my belly. This baby is a disaster and must not be kept.
In front of the town government.
As soon as Sun Jiaxue arrived, she heard someone calling her name from behind. When she turned around, she saw it was her daughter-in-law from town, Wu Jingmei.
"Comrade Wu."
"Why are you calling me so distant? Our two families are acquaintances. Just call me sister-in-law."
"That won't work. It's not appropriate."
"What's inappropriate? I heard from my old Zhao that you have to keep a close eye on Ming Qing."
Sun Jiaxue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know."
Everyone reminded her of this, but she didn't take it seriously.
On the contrary, Li Mingqing watched her all day long, fearing that something might happen to her, and took great care of her.
In the evening, when Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue finished their meal and were about to rest, they heard a hurried knock on the door.
