Li Mingqing walked towards the town alone.
This was his first time walking to work. One had to admire Li Mingyuan for walking all the way to the county town.
In fact, Li Mingyuan did not walk to the county town every day, but took a donkey cart to Lijia Village.
It only costs one cent to go back and forth, which is very convenient.
Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to walk back and forth for nearly two hours every day.
He left late, and Li Mingli and Zhang Lihua had already boarded the donkey cart on the way to the county town.
I didn't see many people along the way, but there were quite a few people working in the fields.
As soon as he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Changgui drove over, and with him came the manager Qian Kai.
When Manager Qian Kai saw him, he said, "Comrade Li, you really are a hidden talent. I didn't know you had this ability."
"What's your ability?" Li Mingqing looked confused.
"Of course you know medical skills, and you went to the county town for a meeting. My brother and I were chatting about you, and we didn't expect we were talking about the same person. Oh, and my brother is the county magistrate."
After he finished speaking, Li Mingqing was not at all shocked, as if he had known it before.
"Do you know that the county magistrate is my brother?"
"I don't know, I just think they look about 70% similar."
Li Mingqing would definitely say that he didn’t know. How could he say that he knew?
Last night Qian Kai and County Mayor Qian Jian chatted after dinner.
Originally, Qian Kai was planning to come to Li Mingqing to buy some food today. The food he bought from him tasted better than the food he bought from other places.
As the two brothers were talking, they somehow ended up talking about Li Mingqing.
At first, the two thought they had the same name, but after they finished talking, they found out that they were the same person.
Li Mingqing asked, "Manager, did you come all the way here just for this?"
"Of course not. If we eat the food you made, we won't be able to eat other food. How can we get more food?"
"Yes, but it will have to be tomorrow."
"That's great! I thought I couldn't get it."
After the conversation, Li Mingqing began to count the goods, and after checking that they were correct, he handed the order to Qian Kai.
"Manager Qian, I'll bring it to you tomorrow when I go to the county town."
"Thank you for your help."
After Qian got into the car, he stuck his head out and said, "I have good news for you. My brother told me that someone from the newspaper is coming to interview you. You're going to be a celebrity."
Li Mingqing felt like he was hit on the head.
This is a bit of a big deal, isn't it? He just needs to stay here quietly. There's no need for everyone to know.
Reporting is no small matter.
People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat.
He hasn't done anything earth-shattering, so why do we have to interview him?
Li Mingqing was just about to ask what was going on when Zhao Changgui started the car and left.
I haven't even started yet, so I guess it's just casual talk.
If they really wanted to interview him, the village chief and the team leader would have informed him long ago.
Everything was calm at noon, and when it was almost time to get off work, the mayor came rushing over.
Li Mingqing originally thought that he was looking for Zhao Xiaoling, but unexpectedly he came straight towards him.
"Ming Qing, people from the newspaper will come to your village for an interview next week, so you should be prepared."
His head is twice as big as his own, he's going to be a mascot.
"Mayor, why are you interviewing me?"
"Outstanding young man, who else should I interview if not you? The people who came to inspect the matter two days ago unanimously agreed, the county magistrate also agreed, and of course I agree too."
"The comrades from the county government have already made the decision after meeting with me twice? Aren't they going to conduct another investigation?"
"This was a decision made after careful consideration."
"I truly feel unworthy of this. How could I possibly deserve to be featured in the People's Daily?"
"This matter is of no small importance and must be taken seriously."
He could handle this kind of situation, but he was afraid of his family.
Having dug the land honestly for half their lives, they had never seen anything grand. If they knew the newspaper was coming to interview them, the old couple would be so excited that they couldn't sleep that night.
Before leaving, the mayor specifically instructed: "Speak to your village chief and team leader about this."
Zhao Xiaoling and Zhou Yingzi were confused and had no idea what was going on.
But both of them knew that a newspaper interview was no small matter.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Li Mingqing guessed that Sun Jiaxue would be here soon.
When she came, she actually brought him a piece of wedding candy that she had snatched from Zhao Hongbin.
"Wife, you really brought me wedding candy."
"It's so hard to get this, let's share in the good luck."
In order to grab this candy, he was stepped on several times.
Li Mingqing said, "What a joyful occasion! Wife, people from the newspaper will be coming to our house next week."
"Why?"
In her impression, the newspaper office was out of reach, and she was a little panicked that it had to come to her home.
"You came to interview me because I have the spirit of Lei Feng."
After hearing this, Sun Jiaxue nodded. She really thought Li Mingqing was the best person.
After the couple returned to the village in the afternoon, Li Mingqing went to find the village chief and the team leader.
The village chief said: "What a great event! You must go to the county town to receive your award at the end of the year. There will be prizes then."
Li Mingqing said with a forced smile, "Uncle, it's still several months before the end of the year. It's too early to say that."
"It's getting late. You're the only young person showing up. I haven't seen any other young people yet."
The team leader also said: "It seems that our village is stable."
"As long as the villagers don't cause any trouble, the model village will definitely be ours."
There is no village in the entire commune that does not want this honor.
The two of them almost hugged each other and cried tears of joy.
Li Mingqing said, "People from the newspaper office will be coming over next week. Uncle, please come and show yourself then."
"That's not necessary, you're the protagonist."
"What's the point of being the protagonist? The people from the newspaper office coming here from the county should be given a good welcome and hospitality. Otherwise, I'll be a bit bored facing so many people alone."
The two nodded and thought what he said made sense.
There will definitely not be only one or two people coming for the newspaper interview, there should be at least four or five people. As the host, the village chief and the team leader should indeed show up.
When the three of them finished chatting and were about to leave, they heard someone cursing.
Judging from the direction the sound came from, it should be coming from Wang Daya's house.
Li Mingqing immediately felt that the truth must have been revealed, and things were about to get serious.
Wang Daguo ran out in a hurry. His clothes were torn and water was dripping down.
Seeing the village chief and the team leader, they shouted as if they had seen their saviors:
"Uncle Village Chief, come over and separate us! My mother is really ruthless!"
