"Mother-in-law, it's getting late. Let's go back first and you can go to bed early."
"Slow down on the road."
Old lady Zhao instructed.
On the way back, Li Mingqing told her about going to the county the day after tomorrow.
"Really? This is really great. If Mom knew, she would be so happy that she couldn't sleep."
"I'll take you with me the day after tomorrow. It's a good opportunity to go to the hospital and see the child."
"Isn't it all right?"
"A doctor cannot treat himself, so go and see for peace of mind."
Sun Jiaxue finally felt relieved, as she had thought something had happened.
"Wife, Zhou Yingzi has been transferred to work at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town."
"ah?!"
"Yuan Jingshan worked at a newspaper in the county town, and it was inconvenient for him to commute. It just so happened that Zhou Yingzi went to work in the county town, so the two of them settled down there."
After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Mingqing, I...I was distracted last time, but..."
"I, your man, don't have the ability to get Zhou Yingzi to go to the county town. It's just a coincidence."
"But……"
"It's nothing, I'm telling you this to put your mind at ease."
When the two of them returned, they saw Da Niu and the others lying on the stone in front of the door, writing and drawing.
"Why are you here? Why don't you go back to the old house? At least there is a table at home."
"Aunt, there's no rush anyway. I can't write it when I get home."
It was Sun Jiaxue who taught them how to write. They always studied in the new house, and nothing felt right when they returned to the old house.
Li Mingqing took out the key and unlocked the door. "I really don't know how to say good things about you guys. There's a bunch of naughty kids chattering away next to you. You can even write here."
"Uncle, I just took it out and haven't written it yet."
There is a table placed in the shade of the yard, where I basically do my homework.
Li Mingqing found it difficult to comment on the handwriting they wrote.
"This handwriting is too flamboyant. Your teacher is really good-tempered."
Xiangdong said, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Come, tell me, what are these words?"
"male."
"What about this?"
"plum."
"It's hard for you to recognize it. I didn't recognize the characters for male and Li."
I'm afraid he is the only one who can recognize this word.
The writing of the three girls and Xiangxi is quite neat and square.
He thought of the people in the cowshed. Judging from their demeanor, they must be intellectuals.
He didn't have the leisure and patience to teach calligraphy to a few children, for fear of getting angry and shortening his life.
Really, my handwriting is not as beautiful as Jiaxue's.
Li Mingqing scooped a small ladle of corn grits and put it in a cloth bag and prepared to go to the cowshed.
There were people in the cowshed that the Ding family knew, and they had promised Ding Shao to look after them.
"Wife, I'm going out for a while."
As it got dark, everyone was cooking at home and there were few people on the streets.
When we arrived at the cowshed, Aunt Huang was washing wild vegetables.
"Auntie, are you busy?"
"Why are you here, young comrade? I know you mean well, but you shouldn't be here."
“Be loyal to the people who trust you.”
Hearing someone talking outside, the three Kongs came out of the cowshed.
"Young man, please tell the Ding family that I am in good health."
"Okay, sir, I know a little bit about medicine. This is medicine. Drinking it will be good for your health."
Mr. Kong did not doubt the medicine he gave, and the Ding family trusted him so much, which shows that he is an outstanding person.
"It's nice to add icing on the cake, but we also remember helping people in need. We can't accept these corn grits, so you can take them back."
"Uncle, I want to ask you for help."
The four of them said warily, "We are in such a state that we don't know how we can help."
"I have several nephews and nieces who just started school this year, but their handwriting is really terrible. I was wondering if the seniors could give them some pointers."
"This is easier said than done," said Confucius.
"Yeah, we can't move around freely here. If someone sees us, they'll probably gossip about us."
"I'll have a few kids come over once a week. It won't draw attention. Village kids are used to running around as they please, so no one pays attention to them. You've been in the village for a while now, and there's no place these kids don't go."
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
"Okay, just bring the children over when the time comes."
Seeing that they agreed, Li Mingqing took out the flour cloth bag, put it on the stone slab and left.
Li Mingqing went directly to the old house and told the three brothers Li Mingli about this matter.
"Okay, please take so much care of these children."
"But I'm still worried. What if the villagers see us?"
"No one paid any attention to these little brats."
So it was settled. Every Saturday at noon, few people would go to the cowshed to learn how to write.
Old Lady Li said, "I hope these children will have a bright future and that their education will be worthwhile."
"These kids go to the new house all day long. They learn a lot from the company they keep."
“I don’t seek great wealth, but at least I can live a comfortable life and suffer less.”
"It's definitely not as hard as our time, when we had to eat dirt and tree bark."
"I've been working a lot this afternoon, clearing the table and eating. Now that the harvest is almost here, I'm going to lose all the weight I worked so hard to put on."
As soon as Li Mingqing entered the door, he ran into children who were in a hurry to go home.
"Uncle, Auntie is waiting for you to come back for dinner."
"Won't you stay and eat something?"
"That won't do. My mom said you're at a loss, uncle, because we can't eat and drink for free."
"That's what my mother said."
After hearing what Xiangdong and Erniu said, Li Mingqing smiled.
