Li Mingqing almost swore when he saw his nonchalant attitude.
"Have you been fainting every now and then lately? It's much more frequent than before."
Ding Shao thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
"Am I seriously ill?"
"Go to the hospital and take an X-ray. I can't be sure."
He immediately rode his bike to the county town. The Ding family was not short of money and didn't want to spend it all.
Sun Xuesong followed hurriedly behind, fearing that something might happen along the way.
"Are you sure it's true? A hospital checkup isn't cheap."
"Which is more important, life or money? Besides, they have plenty of money, so why are you getting involved?"
He left Zhou Yingzi speechless.
"I am a girl after all, do I know how to be gentle and considerate?"
"You're not my wife." He said and rode away.
"Sister Zhao, look at him, he's so rude."
Seeing her like this, Zhao Xiaoling couldn't help but remind her: "Yingzi, are you...?"
"I'm so annoyed with him, Sister Zhao, what did you say?"
"Nothing. Didn't you say your mother was trying to introduce you to someone? Is there anyone suitable?"
"I don't know. My mother said it's a good idea. We'll get engaged in a couple of days."
"Have you seen it?"
"No, I can see him when we get engaged. My mother is greedy for money and the man she finds must be good."
In the afternoon, Ding Shao came to the supply and marketing cooperative with bags of things.
"Brother Li, thank you so much. I went to the hospital for a check-up at noon, and the doctor said that I was lucky to have discovered it early. You are my lifesaver."
"It's an understatement to say that it's within your power."
"It's amazing. He found out something was wrong with the body just by checking the pulse."
When he was interviewed at the Li family before, he didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that he only knew the basics.
But now it seems that he really has the ability.
Li Mingqing looked at him carrying so many things and asked, "When will the surgery be performed?"
"I'm going to the hospital in the capital for surgery. When I come back, I'll invite you to my house for dinner."
"Okay, but you should take these things back."
"That won't do. This is something my wife prepared for me. There's no reason to take it back with me."
"You have to accept it, otherwise I won't be able to report back."
He acted like a henpecked husband and refused to take the item back no matter what.
Li Mingqing knew that he had spent a lot of money just by looking at the peaches, grapes, malted milk and snacks on the ground.
When Sun Jiaxue came over, she looked at the things on the bicycle and thought that Li Mingqing had taken them out specially.
"Brother Mingqing, these?"
"This is a peach sent by reporter Ding Shao. Try it, it's really sweet."
He just ate one which was quite sweet but still not as good as the peach grown in the space.
Sun Jiaxue was holding two big buns in her hand, which were given to her by Su Yuhong when she just came over.
She had been wondering from the beginning why Su Yuhong was so nice to her, as if she were her own sister, but now she has gotten used to it.
"Brother Mingqing, can I give two peaches to Sister Yuhong?"
"Of course, the big buns they give us are not cheap."
Sun Jiaxue took two peaches and went to the State-owned Hotel to find Su Yuhong.
"Sister Yuhong, I brought you two peaches to keep fresh."
"This is a rare thing, big and red. You can tell it's very sweet at first glance. Just take one."
"Don't be so polite to me. You give me food every time you see me. I feel bad."
Su Yuhong took a bite of the peach and said, "It's so sweet."
"I'm leaving first. Brother Mingqing is off work."
When the couple arrived at the village entrance, they saw a group of children gathered there chattering non-stop.
When the village chief saw Li Mingqing coming back, he immediately said, "This is a wheat thresher. With this machine, all the wheat can be hulled in one afternoon."
"A thresher."
"Yes, someone from the town just drove it here this afternoon, but he left it here and left. There's still some distance between the village entrance and the wheat field. Do you know how to drive? Otherwise, we'll have to pull the wheat here."
"That's too much trouble. I'll drive over."
Li Mingqing handed the bicycle to Sun Jiaxue and said, "Wife, you go home first."
"Village Chief, did the driver take the crank away?"
"Here it is. The driver left this for me to take home at night."
You really should take it home, otherwise someone might drive it away at night and you won’t know it.
In fact, this thing is quite easy to open, but they are afraid of breaking it and having to pay for it, so they are always hesitant.
Li Mingqing inserted the crank into the thresher and turned it five or six times. Then he heard a rumbling sound from the machine and a puff of black smoke came out from the side.
The children in the village were pulled one meter away from the machine by adults, for fear that the children would be scratched.
In full view of everyone, it drove straight to the center of the wheat field.
"Village Chief, is it appropriate to put it here?"
"Okay, we'll start threshing the wheat tomorrow. Finally, we don't have to go through the trouble of moving the wheat."
Li Mingqing came down, handed the crank to the village chief and went home.
Li Mingli said, "Do you know that Old Man Wei and Sun Xiuhong came again this afternoon?"
"What are they doing here? Zhao Guiying wants to kill them."
"Old Wei's arm, where Zhao Guiying slashed it with a sickle, hasn't healed yet. It's inflamed and oozing pus, so he came to our house to try to extort money from us. He insisted on asking you to treat him, saying he was slashed right in front of our house and that you have to take responsibility. Mother came out with a broom and chased the two away."
"Both of them have lost their minds, right? I'll give them a good beating next time."
"I guess he doesn't dare to come. He's now standing at Zhao Guiying's door, refusing to leave."
Old Man Wei and Sun Xiuhong could only stay here, as they couldn't even get enough to eat when they returned home.
Zhao Guiying ignored them completely.
When the two of them passed by her door, the father-in-law and daughter-in-law were still sitting there.
Although Old Man Wei is old, he has sharp eyesight and noticed Li Mingqing at once.
"Hey, Li family kid."
He trotted over and took a look, then said excitedly, "I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you. Show me my arm!"
"Please ask for someone else's help." Li Mingqing said and walked forward.
"I am your elder after all, don't you even have the minimum respect?"
"The fact that you're still able to enter the village shows how generous we are as Lijia Villagers. If you continue to talk nonsense and provoke public outrage, I'm afraid you won't be able to get close to us again in this life. I suspect you're here to steal wheat. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that you're here today when the wheat is to be threshed tomorrow?"
“Nonsense!”
"My father-in-law and I are here to admit our mistakes, and we are definitely not here to steal."
"You're so excited, could it be that what I said was right? You really do have this idea. You really are a family."
The father-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, not knowing how to start the conversation.
They were afraid that Li Mingqing would speak loudly and attract the villagers, and they were also afraid that Li Mingqing would attack them.
You reap what you sow.
Zhao Guiying never came out of the house from beginning to end, and even if she came out, she just pretended not to see it.
Li Mingli felt that Li Mingqing's clear distinction between love and hate was a good thing. Even a scoundrel like Old Man Wei didn't dare to provoke him.
