"Mom, how is it? The new house is pretty good, right?"
"It was so good, I couldn't bear to go in. My shoes were covered in dirt."
Old Lady Li looked at the circle of dust on her shoes and said with a smile.
"Why should I be so sorry about this? Look, Jiaxue and I's shoes are not clean either."
After hearing what Li Mingqing said, Old Lady Li still went outside to flick the dust off her shoes.
"Mom is quite particular."
"I'm afraid Mom will wear a new pair of shoes next time she comes over."
Sun Jiaxue smiled, thinking it was something that Old Lady Li would do.
Old Lady Li came over and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable with you two moving out."
"Mom can come here often. It's just a short walk."
"You two are both good kids. Live your life well. If you need any help, just call me next door."
Li Mingqing responded after hearing this: "Of course, I'll probably have to call you more often in the future. Don't be annoyed, mother."
"You kid, I wish you could call me more often."
Mrs. Li took a look around and became more and more satisfied with the couple's new home.
"You two have to go to work this afternoon. I won't go to work. Stay and cook."
"Mom, I'll go to the restaurant to buy the food. Don't worry about this."
"As long as you have a plan, I'll go back first. Your father is still waiting for me to cook."
"Okay, if you don't go back, my dad will come looking for you."
"I really owed your father this in my previous life."
Old Mrs. Li complained as she walked out.
Just after sending Old Lady Li away, Wu Lili came over with a curious look on her face.
Li Mingqing had never seen her before and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and I'm here to look for Jiaxue."
"Wife, someone is looking for you."
Li Mingqing called Sun Jiaxue out and went into the house, letting the two chat.
Seeing that it was Wu Lili, Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "Why are you here? Come in quickly."
"Oh, I heard the crackling sound of firecrackers this morning, but I was busy all afternoon and didn't come over. I came to take a look as soon as I had some free time."
Wu Lili said very cheerfully.
The two haven't seen each other since they last met while washing clothes by the river.
But Wu Lili was very familiar and warm, holding Sun Jiaxue's hand with a face full of envy.
"Jiaxue, your house is so bright. It's so different with the glass."
"Come in quickly, what's wrong with you standing outside?"
Sun Jiaxue pulled Wu Lili into the house.
After she entered the house, she didn't know what to do. The brand new table, benches, and spacious room were so attractive that she couldn't take her eyes off them.
"Jiaxue, you are so lucky. I don't know when my family will be able to live in a new house."
"You will have it later."
Sun Jiaxue took a few hard candies and handed them to her, "Sweet your mouth."
Wu Lili peeled a piece and put it in her mouth and said, "I ate a piece of candy on the day of my wedding. I haven't eaten anything in a long time."
The two chatted for about ten minutes and then Wu Lili left.
Li Mingqing was happy for Sun Jiaxue. It was rare to have a friend, and he seemed to be a nice person.
"Who is that girl?"
"Wu Lili, Zhang Chengming's wife, is getting married at the same time as us."
After they finished their meal, they packed up and prepared to go to work.
After going out, Sun Jiaxue carefully checked the lock on the door twice, fearing that it was not locked properly.
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Wife, it's locked."
The two of them then rode their bicycles to town.
Sun Jiaxue had to sit on the back of a bicycle every day, so he tied a piece of unworn clothes to the back seat. It was soft and not painful at all.
"Brother Mingqing, these are your clothes."
"It would be a shame to throw it away if I can't wear it anymore, so I just tied it at the back. Now it's much more comfortable."
"Yeah, it's very comfortable," Sun Jiaxue said, hugging his waist.
The two of them chatted casually and soon arrived in town.
When Li Mingqing sent Sun Jiaxue to the town government, the mayor happened to come in from outside.
"Here you are again to send your wife off."
"Why are you here again? This is my first time here this month. Mayor, is the list of households covered by the Five Guarantees available yet?"
"Not yet. It will come out tomorrow at the latest."
Seeing that the two were talking about serious matters, Sun Jiaxue went into the house to clean up very tactfully.
"Mayor, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative first. Let's talk another day."
After he said that, he stared at the bicycle and walked away.
The mayor looked at him and thought he was a good candidate for an official post, but unfortunately he was not interested in that.
He quite admired Li Mingqing's free and easy spirit.
Young people are so full of vigor and vitality.
Li Mingqing had just arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative when his car hit a nail without paying attention.
The tires were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Oh my god, how unlucky I am! What kind of thing is this? Who would put a nail in the middle of the road?"
He went into the house cursing, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
The door of the supply and marketing cooperative is clearly cleaned every day when it opens, so how could there be nails there?
It wasn't there at noon today. Someone must have set it off on purpose.
"Comrade Zhou, did you notice anyone sneaking around the door at noon?"
"It's noon, who can be here?"
After hearing this, Li Mingqing no longer had any hope in her. He thought that someone must be jealous of him and that was why he did such a wicked thing.
He just happened to put the nails in the place where he often parks his car. It would be strange to say that it was not intentional.
After thinking about it, he should be a villager.
He could only go to the repair shop in front to fix the tire.
"Sister Zhao, go get your tire fixed. I'll be back in two minutes."
"Fix a tire? Your new car broke down so soon?"
"There was a nail stuck in the door earlier this morning, and the tire is leaking. I have no choice but to get it repaired."
