"Wife, what are you busy with?"
"I'm going to clean the new house while the weather is nice. Dad said the day after tomorrow will be a good day."
"The day after tomorrow is a good day. I thought it would be after Hongbin got married."
"Wife, do you think I should go to town?"
Sun Jiaxue had just heard what Old Lady Li said to him. She didn't have any opinions and would support Li Mingqing no matter what choice he made.
"Brother Mingqing, if you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, that's fine too. Either way, it's not wrong."
Li Mingqing smiled when he heard this. He was right. Why should he be so twisted? It was not like him at all.
"Wife, you are absolutely right," he walked over and hugged her gently.
At this time, Grandma Zhao came over tremblingly, leaning on a branch.
When Mrs. Li saw Granny Zhao coming over, she immediately came out to support her. "Aunt Zhao, if you have anything to say, just let someone else pass on the message. Why did you come here in person?"
It was really difficult for Grandma Zhao to move over because of her small feet and her old age.
"Come and see your Mingqing and Jiaxue. Jiaxue even came to chat with me this afternoon."
"Really? They are in the house."
Old Lady Li supported her and called out, "Mingqing, Jiaxue, Grandma Zhao is here."
"Grandma Zhao, come in quickly."
"I am an old woman and I am sorry to trouble you."
"No, come often in the future," Sun Jiaxue went over to support him.
Li Mingqing didn't expect her to come.
"Grandma Zhao, please sit down."
Old Mrs. Zhao sat down tremblingly, then took out something wrapped in rags from her pocket with shaking hands and handed it to Sun Jiaxue.
Sun Jiaxue looked at her and then at Li Mingqing.
"Wife, since it's given by Grandma Zhao, just accept it."
They didn't think what was inside was so precious until Sun Jiaxue opened the rag in her palm.
A smooth jade bracelet.
Old Lady Li and Li Mingqing were stunned. They never expected that she would take out such a precious thing.
"Mother-in-law, I can't accept this."
Sun Jiaxue held the bracelet like a hot potato.
"Yes, mother-in-law, please take it back quickly. It's too valuable." Li Mingqing knew that she was grateful for them coming to see her, but she definitely couldn't accept it.
Old Lady Li had lived in this village for such a long time, but she never imagined that Grandma Zhao would have this bracelet.
If anyone in the village knew about it, there would definitely be a lot of people who would stick to it.
The villagers don’t know where Grandma Zhao came from. She only settled here after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
She was childless, alone, and destitute.
"I don't know when this body of mine will end up in the underground. I can't bring this thing with me when I'm born, and I can't take it with me when I die. I really like you two, so please accept it."
The old man couldn't bear to refuse after hearing what he said.
Li Mingqing said, "Daughter-in-law, please accept it. It's a gift from your mother-in-law."
Only then did Sun Jiaxue withdrew her hand.
When Granny Zhao saw that she accepted it, she nodded with satisfaction and went over to put the bracelet on her hand.
"Look how beautiful it is. It's more suitable for little girls."
Old Mrs. Li could see that Grandma Zhao really liked Li Mingqing and his wife from the bottom of her heart.
The couple originally wanted to keep her at home for dinner, but she insisted on going home and refused to stay no matter what.
The couple had no choice but to support her and send her back.
Li Mingqing carried a basket containing eggs, whole grain noodles, vegetables and two apples.
After sending Old Lady Zhao back home, I took her pulse.
There is nothing serious with my health, I'm just getting older.
Before leaving, Li Mingqing dropped two drops of spiritual spring water into her water tank to strengthen her body.
Li Mingqing put down the basket, took Sun Jiaxue's hand and left.
Grandma Zhao looked at the food in the basket and smiled. These two children were really generous. She had never seen anyone so generous in her life.
On the way back, Sun Jiaxue looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist and said, "Brother Mingqing, you keep it. It's not appropriate for others to see it."
"Okay, I'll keep it and wear it when I go out."
These old women in the village are indeed quite gossipy, so it’s better to keep them to yourself to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Li Mingqing looked at the bracelet in his hand, remembered Grandma Zhao's wrinkled smile, and felt that what the village chief said was not wrong. The rewards given by the system these two times were very considerable.
When the couple returned, they saw Old Lady Li in the yard.
Seeing them come back, he immediately came over and whispered, "Don't let anyone else know about what happened to Grandma Zhao today."
"Mom, don't worry, your son is not a stupid person."
"I'm afraid you'll let it slip."
"My wife and I are not the third sister-in-law. If we have any problems, will the whole village know about it?"
Old Lady Li was just giving them a reminder.
The young couple took a basin and a bucket of water and went next door to clean up the new house.
It took the two of them about an hour to clean every corner of the house inside and outside.
The village chief and the team leader came to find Li Mingqing on time.
"Uncles, I'm not going to run away, why are you so nervous?" he joked.
"So you mean you're willing to go?"
"I still have the awareness of serving the people."
The village chief and the team leader nodded in appreciation, showing his awareness. The town praised him for his concern for the poor. Every village had vulnerable people like Grandma Zhao, but no one else had ever brought it up except him.
The three of them came to the town, where the mayor and the people from the commune were discussing the matter.
The mayor said, "Comrade Li, this afternoon you will go with the commune people to each village to conduct a headcount survey."
