Chapter 21: Er Ba Da Gang



Yang Daya cried, "How is this possible? I saw it with my own eyes."

"We don't even have a hen at home. How can I, an old woman, get eggs?"

As soon as she heard what Old Lady Li said, she stopped crying immediately.

There were indeed no hens in the house, not even a rooster.

"It's possible that these are pheasant eggs you picked up from the mountains." Yang Daya continued confidently.

Li Mingqing couldn't stand her shrewish behavior.

"If you want to throw a tantrum, don't do it at my doorstep. Go to the main gate. Let everyone in the village see you like this. I don't know what Third Brother will think when he comes back."

"Hmph, stop trying to scare me. Ming Fang would be even more heartbroken if he knew that the old lady was partial."

Li Mingqing no longer paid attention to her but said, "Mother, Second Sister-in-law, you two can go back. If she wants to cry, let her cry here."

Old Lady Li couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to slap Yang Daya in the face.

“What you saw was specially sent by the people of Zhangjia Village to express their gratitude to Mingqing. You just keep crying without even understanding the situation, making it seem like others owe you something.

So what if it was given by me, an old woman?

Mingqing and Jiaxue bring me food every now and then, why don’t you compare?”

Li Mingfang's face flushed. He had indeed not visited his parents since the family split up.

Originally, he thought his mother could give him some money to support his living expenses.

Unexpectedly, he lost more than he gained and got slapped in the face.

Li Mingli and Li Mingyuan's families had sent gifts once or twice, but Li Mingfang had never sent one.

Originally, Old Lady Li had no intention of taking anything from them.

After all, it’s not easy for every family after they split up.

But it is really heartbreaking to see Yang Daya eating from her bowl while looking at the pot.

The village chief passed by and heard the commotion at Old Li's house, so he came in. When he heard the reason, he frowned.

"It's Mingfang's house. The basket in Mingqing's house was given by someone from Zhangjia Village. I can testify to that."

Li Mingfang's face turned pale as he pulled Yang Daya up and went back to the house.

No matter how arrogant Yang Daya was, she was still afraid of the village chief.

Without saying anything, he went into the house very honestly.

Old man Zhao said to the village chief, "Brother, come in and sit down?"

"No, it's going to be dark soon, and my wife has already prepared dinner."

Old Man Li and Old Lady Li returned to the house and sighed.

"The Third Family is really becoming more and more outrageous."

"There's been no such talk, and the third brother is becoming more and more confused."

"Old man, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If they don't listen to us, just let them do what they want."

"If it happens again, I think Lao Si will send her to the commune."

The old couple's good mood was completely ruined.

Sun Jiaxue saw Li Mingqing standing at the door and wondered what he was thinking.

"Brother Mingqing, come and eat, don't get angry."

He chuckled and said, "I'm not angry. I just wanted to go to town and get the glass back early another day."

He has to drive a tractor to plow the fields these two days and is busy.

"Glass."

Sun Jiaxue was surprised. Glass can block wind and let light in, which is usually used by people in the city.

"That way we can close the door and it won't be dark in the house anymore."

After finishing his meal, Li Mingqing went to the space to harvest the ripe crops.

Plant the cotton seeds obtained in Zhangjia Village.

Cotton is a scarce commodity these days and has a high price. I'll make a lot of money when winter comes this year.

Now I want to replace the hard cotton in the quilt.

Two days passed in a flash.

As soon as Li Mingqing turned off the tractor, he saw Zhao Changgui coming on a 28-inch truck.

When will he get a bicycle?

"Brother Zhao, come over and drive the tractor."

"Yes, these villages have used up the supplies, and the other villages are still waiting."

"The machine is indeed faster than manual labor. You should drive away quickly. If you don't, these children will get on the bus."

The children gathered around and wanted to go up and sit down.

"Is it true that the driver from the Transportation Bureau I told you about two days ago won't show up?"

Zhao Changgui asked, reluctant to give up a ready-made talent like Li Mingqing.

"I appreciate Brother Zhao's kindness."

These words meant rejection, and Manager Zhao did not try to persuade him to stay.

These past two days, every time Li Mingqing returned home, he would receive a basket of food, which made him feel embarrassed.

After all, anything that is edible is precious.

But what puzzled him was another thing: the system hadn't shown up for two whole days.

Just as I was about to curse, a mechanical voice rang in my mind.

[Ding, the host helps the villagers and is rewarded with an industrial ticket]

Industrial Ticket!

Li Mingqing instantly had no opinion on the system.

With the industrial ticket, he can buy a bicycle, which makes it more convenient for him to go to the town or county.

I'm going to the county town to buy a 28-inch bicycle tomorrow.

There must be a lot of people buying food on the black market in the county, so it really kills two birds with one stone.

The next day, before dawn, Sun Jiaxue got up early to make breakfast for Li Mingqing.

It takes at least an hour and a half to walk from the village to the county town, so you must have a good breakfast.

She beat two eggs and put them into the batter to make an omelet.

"Wife, why don't you come with me."

"I won't go, Brother Mingqing, you go by yourself."

She had never been to the county town before, and the farthest place she had been to was the town.

She was afraid of bringing shame to Li Mingqing.

"Whatever you want, I'll go to the county town to buy it for you."

"Oh, I have everything I need. I have enough to eat and enough clothes to wear. I don't need to buy anything."

"Okay."

Li Mingqing agreed verbally, but in his heart he was thinking that he must buy a gift for his wife who worked hard at home.
