"Uncle, give me a string of candied haws."
"Okay, one cent."
Li Mingqing handed him the money and handed the candied haws to Sun Jiaxue.
She took the candied haws and looked at him in a daze.
"Why are you looking at me? Am I too good-looking?" he joked.
Sure enough, two red clouds rose on her face.
"What are you buying candied haws for?"
"Here's some food for you."
Sun Jiaxue recalled that when she was a child, her mother took her and her brothers to the county town and bought a string of candied haws, but she didn't eat a single bite.
You can only lick the stick of the candied haws.
The past came to my mind, and this string of candied haws seemed to make up for the regrets of my childhood.
"Why are you so nice to me?"
"Isn't it my duty to treat you well? You are my wife."
Taking her hand, I walked forward to another street to see if there was anyone selling coal stoves.
"Brother Mingqing, you eat first."
She handed the candied haws to his mouth and looked at him with her sparkling eyes.
He really couldn't resist this look.
The first candied haws was eaten by Li Mingqing.
"The rest are all yours. You must eat them all before going home, otherwise the kids at home will cry because of the candied haws."
She felt sweet in her heart, sweeter than candied haws.
The two walked around but didn't find anyone selling stoves. They thought there was no hope, but when they turned the corner, they saw a young man with a wooden cart covered with a straw mat, and the lower part was exposed in the shape of a stove.
Li Mingqing asked with a smile: "Brother, do you want to change?"
The man looked Li Mingqing up and down, trying to judge whether he could afford the change.
"We'll trade for food, nothing else."
"What a coincidence! I just happened to have some food." He took out a handful of rice, hid it in his sleeve, and secretly showed it to him.
The man's eyes lit up instantly when he saw it.
"This stove needs to be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice. If you think it's suitable, we can exchange it."
He looked at Li Mingqing expectantly, afraid that he would say "no".
"Okay, ten pounds is ten pounds."
"Brother, you're so straightforward. My name is Zhou Jiangang. Let's be friends."
"Li Mingqing."
In less than five minutes the two became close friends.
Sun Jiaxue was watching from the side, stunned, eating candied haws blankly.
"Brother Zhou, the rice is at home. Please follow us back to Lijia Village. If it's inconvenient, I can bring it over tomorrow."
"How long does it take to get from town to the village?"
"It will take only half an hour."
"Okay, I'll go back with you. You guys can't take the stove anyway."
Fortunately, everyone in the village was working at that time, otherwise it would definitely cause a sensation.
A vegetative patient recovered like a normal person in just two days.
I also went to town to buy an expensive coal stove.
When Zhou Jiangang arrived at Li's house, he felt a little regretful when he saw the simple and dilapidated courtyard wall, fearing that he had encountered a scammer.
Li Qingming smiled at his appearance.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go get the rice from the house."
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Sun Jiaxue followed Li Mingqing closely, after all, she had just recovered and was afraid of accidents.
"Jiaxue, hold up the bag."
"Brother Mingqing, will the gods blame us?"
Li Mingqing chuckled and said, "Of course not. They will understand us. Without a coal stove, we can't cook."
Zhou Jiangang took the coal stove off the wooden cart and placed it at their door.
At this time, Li Mingqing came out of the room carrying a bag.
Before leaving, Zhou Jiangang said, "These honeycomb coals can burn for half a month. After they are used up, you can come find me at the same place as before."
"Okay, go back and be careful."
Zhou Jiangang walked happily towards the town, and even covered the rice with grass for fear that it would be seen by others.
Li Mingqing prepared to carry the stove at the door into the house.
Sun Jiaxue quickly pushed him away, bent down, picked up the coal stove and walked into the house.
I didn't expect that such a skinny girl could be so strong.
How embarrassing it must have been for him. How could a grown man let his wife carry such a heavy object?
He took two steps at a time and came to her and took the coal stove from her arms.
"Jiaxue, go clean up the room."
"oh."
Li Mingqing moved the stove and honeycomb coal into the house one by one.
There is a stove but no iron pot.
It’s not an easy thing to buy, and you need an industrial ticket.
Even if you have a ticket, the supply and marketing cooperative may not have it. It all depends on luck.
He sighed softly. "System, system, please give me a pot."
[Ding, the host's body has fully recovered, please draw a prize.]
Wow, someone gave me a pillow just when I was sleepy.
He won a space in the last lottery, and he was so excited about what good stuff he would win this time.
[Congratulations to the host. A wok and two sets of tableware have been stored in the system backpack.]
"Is this the reward for all the effort I put into standing up?"
【……】
"I'm asking you a question, but you disappear the moment you disagree. Be careful or I'll complain to you!"
【……】
"Forget it, I'm a big shot and I won't hold it against you. I'll definitely file a complaint against you next time you do this."
It was his one-man show, and the system ignored him.
Li Mingqing took out the wok and put it on the stove.
But it was too conspicuous in the room, so after much thought, he had no choice but to put the stove and wok into the space.
Take it out when you need it.
As soon as he entered the space, he heard someone calling him in the yard.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Li Xiangxia standing in the yard.
