As soon as Li Mingqing got up, he saw Old Lady Li standing in the yard watching the chickens.
"I was so busy last night that I forgot to talk to you. I was really worried about you."
"Mom, what's the matter?" We already talked about it last night.
"Don't be so aggressive when you encounter danger next time. Let your father take care of you. Your father has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Even though he is old, he is definitely stronger than you."
He smiled when he heard this. The two of them were definitely a couple.
"Mom, that's why."
"What do you mean, just because of this? I couldn't sleep all night. The more I think about it, the more I think you're a tiger."
"It's a powerful move. I only did it because I was sure of it. Otherwise, how could someone as cautious as me do something that would hurt myself?"
"Don't be so funny. Look how scared you made Jiaxue."
"Mom, I remember."
He agreed very seriously, and indeed scared Sun Jiaxue yesterday.
She woke up from time to time most of the night, worried that something might happen to Li Mingqing, and only felt relieved when she heard his even breathing.
Sun Jiaxue came out and said, "Mom, stay here and have breakfast."
"We have corn porridge at home, it's already heated up."
On the other side, the father and his two sons had just arrived in the county town.
The cart was covered with a layer of oil paper bag and a straw mat, so you couldn't tell that there was pork inside.
This was the first time the three of them had done something like this, so they were extremely cautious.
Li Mingqing told them in detail the location and situation of the black market last night, and he had a general idea in his mind.
In fact, they have been to the black market before, but they just went there to buy things.
It was the first time for the young lady to get into a bridal sedan chair.
Old man Li brought the two of them to the middle of the black market.
"Mingli, Mingfang, take the straw mat off the cart."
It was hard not to notice so much pork, and the three of them were immediately surrounded by the crowd.
The pork sold at the food station costs 75 cents per pound if you buy it with a ticket. Long queues form before dawn, and even then you may not be able to buy meat.
The meat is sold at 1.2 yuan per pound on the black market, and people come to grab it even without meat coupons.
Li Mingli was responsible for cutting the meat, Li Mingfang was responsible for weighing it, and Old Man Li was responsible for collecting the money.
All the meat was sold out before noon.
All the big bones were sold out, not a single one left.
Old man Li couldn't stop smiling as he looked at his bulging wallet.
It’s close to four hundred yuan.
"Dad, it's such a good sale. I don't know when we can catch another wild boar."
"Don't even think about it. We were lucky this time. If Ming Qing hadn't been there, the three of us would have died there."
"What a shame! This pig earns more than I could earn in a whole year."
"It's a truth. What's more important, life or money? Don't sneak into the back mountain."
Li Mingli and Li Mingfang were just talking about it and had no intention of actually going.
"Dad, don't worry, I don't have the guts."
Yang Daya was circling anxiously at the entrance of the village.
"Why haven't you come yet? Do you think something will happen?"
Sun Jiaxue, who was pulled over, comforted her, "Third sister-in-law, don't let your imagination run wild. It takes at least two hours to get to the county town and back."
"If I had known, I would have gone too."
"You are healthy, how can you bear such fatigue? The child is the most important."
"Baby, baby, grow up well."
Sun Jiaxue reached out and touched her round belly, and happened to feel the fetal movement.
"If you like children so much, why don't you ask your fourth brother for one?"
"Brother Mingqing said it would take two years, there's no rush."
Yang Daya originally wanted to persuade her to have a child, but when she thought of Li Mingqing's temper, she held back and didn't say anything.
Sun Jiaxue looked up and said happily, "Here they are! Dad and the others are back."
Yang Daya waved at them.
Old Lady Li, Zhang Lihua and Li Lizhu in the fields looked up from time to time, finally seeing his return.
The three men really wanted to put down their work, but they only had half an hour to finish.
As soon as the gong sounded, the three of them trotted back.
"What do you think is going on at the Li family? None of the men are here. Only Mrs. Li and her two wives are here."
"The men of the Li family should have gone to the town or the county seat. I just saw a few of them coming back."
"It must be something good. Let's go and take a look."
When the villagers passed by Lao Li's house, they stopped and stood on tiptoe to look up, but they could not see anything.
The door was closed and there was not even a sound.
inside the house.
"Old lady, guess how much we sold it for."
"two hundred?"
"Guess again."
"It can't be more than three hundred!"
"Almost four hundred dollars."
Oh my god, four hundred dollars! Now our family is rich.
Old Mrs. Li looked happily at the thick stack of money on the table. It was like a dream. She had never dreamed of so much money.
Old man Li said, "We'll divide the money after the second and fourth sons come back from work."
There was no reason to disagree. Everyone was grinning from ear to ear as if it was New Year's Day.
When Li Mingqing came back and saw the smiles on everyone's faces, he knew that business in the county town was going very smoothly.
Old man Li deliberately waited for him at the door.
When she saw him come back, she knocked her pipe against the door sill and stood up.
"Dad, how is it going? Is it going well?"
"It went so smoothly. People were rushing around to buy it, and in the end, many people still couldn't get one. Your mother is stewing meat and cooking radish and pork ribs at home. Let's all have lunch together. Come over with your wife later."
"Okay, I'll be there later."
Sun Jiaxue was cutting chicken feathers in the chicken coop with scissors.
They fly out from time to time, so I have to cut off their feathers, otherwise they will run all over the yard if I'm not careful.
"Wife, Dad asked us to go to the old house for dinner."
"Mom just told me to wait a moment and finish the haircut."
