"Finally, we made it in time. If we had come two minutes later, we would have missed it."
Yan Xingguo looked relieved.
Li Mingqing asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay. I really didn't want to come. My mother asked me to bring ten pounds of meat. This is pork belly."
"Don't come to deliver things next time."
"You think I'm willing to come? I think my mother treats you much better than me."
"Then why are you here to send me off? Can't you persuade Auntie?"
"Every time I come to see you, I feel so angry. I really don't want to bring you anything. If it weren't for you saving my mother, I wouldn't come."
Yan Xingguo put the meat in Li Mingqing's cart basket and left cursing.
Just as he kicked the pedal away, Yan Xingguo suddenly thought of something and turned around and asked, "Was your house raided a few days ago?"
"How do you know?"
"It really is your house. It sounds like it to me but I didn't expect it to be true."
The last time people went to Lijia Village, they only found about twenty yuan at Li Mingqing's house and felt they had lost a lot.
They went back and publicized it.
He said he would rather live in the county town or town than go to the village, as he would get nothing there.
He happened to hear it at the commune, and it sounded like Lijiacun was still working in the supply and marketing cooperative, which made sense.
"Next time you see them, just mention my name. I'm not bragging, but their attitude towards you will definitely change 360 degrees."
"Go ahead and show off. I'll curse you next time."
"I don't know how to appreciate kindness."
Every time the two meet, tension is high.
Li Mingqing recalled that when he first met Yan Xingguo, he lacked the harsh beatings of society.
Look, he has become a lot more restrained since he met him.
When Li Mingqing returned to the village, he saw Sun Jiaxue and the Li family sitting and chatting under the shade of a tree at the entrance of the village.
Li Dahua saw the pork in his basket and said, "Look at you, you've really made it. My old man praised you a lot."
"You're joking, Auntie. It's still a long way off."
"What if this is too far away and my little one is going to give it to Xiang Jun? If you have a suitable job or know a suitable girl, remember to introduce her to my Xiang Jun."
When Li Xiangjun heard this, he knew it had started again.
Just as Xu the matchmaker introduced them to each other, Li Mingqing introduced them to each other.
"Mom, please stop talking."
"You're no longer old, what's there to be ashamed of? Who doesn't get married and have kids when they're older? Mingqing is several years younger than you and has a baby coming soon, yet you're still not anxious."
How could he dare to be anxious? With his mother's temper, it would be disastrous if he really married a girl with a strong personality.
I'm afraid there will be a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every seven days.
Li Mingqing said, "Auntie, Xiang Jun is hardworking and good-looking, so why should he worry about not being able to find a wife?"
"You're the only one who can speak, don't forget to introduce yourself to me."
"There are only two people in the supply and marketing cooperative. You know, I really don't know any young girls."
"Yeah, I think the girl you work with is pretty good."
"Hehehe, just got married."
After saying this, Li Mingqing called Sun Jiaxue to go home together.
Li Xiangjun also pulled Li Dahua and said, "Mom, it's noon now, let's go home and cook."
"I really owe you. If you had married a wife, you wouldn't need me to cook. You could just wait and enjoy yourself. Speaking of this, I miss your sister again. Your sister is so hard-working doing laundry and cooking at the Zhu family."
After hearing this, Li Xiangjun didn't know what to say.
Li Dahua regretted it very much. If she had known earlier, she would have let Li Xiangxia marry Li Mingqing.
One wrong step leads to another.
"Brother Mingqing, why is there so much meat?"
"Mrs. Yan from the county town sent it over. Let's have stir-fried pork and green peppers for lunch."
"Okay, go home and steam two bowls of rice."
Old man Li had just come back from feeding the pigs and was sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air, with a pipe in his mouth.
"Dad, my mom is right behind us. If she sees you smoking, she'll definitely nag you."
"You little brat, you're teaching your father a lesson instead."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to do that. I'm just giving you a reminder."
"I'm not afraid of your mother."
Old man Li said this but quickly put out his pipe.
Sun Jiaxue went to open the door while smiling.
The sound of Wangcai prying at the door could be heard.
"Wangcai, don't worry, are you hungry?"
"He was given a small bowl of braised rabbit meat in the morning. He couldn't have been hungry. He must have been locked up alone in the house."
As soon as the door opened, Wangcai rushed to Sun Jiaxue's feet and ran around her.
Li Mingqing said, "You little ungrateful bastard, you're not that close to me."
Wangcai really understood human nature. He ran to his feet and wagged his tail twice.
"That's more like it, otherwise I won't give you any water in the future."
The reason he has such smooth and shiny fur is all thanks to the spiritual spring water.
Give Wangcai some to drink every ten days or half a month.
After a while, Li Danniu and her friends rushed in one after another.
"Uncle, we took the test and the teacher praised us."
"My classmates are so envious of us. They all want to have a good uncle and aunt like you."
"Yes, especially the farmers and workers who envy me."
"Both of them got most of their answers wrong and they said they didn't want to go to school anymore."
"But we think it's great. Even Xiangdong is willing to go to school."
After hearing this, Li Mingqing smiled and said, "You've become more and more talkative since you started school."
"We are telling the truth."
You can tell they are really happy.
"Go home quickly and tell your parents the good news so they can be happy too."
Xiangdong said, "No rush. Teacher Qiu Mang gave me three days off and asked me to help at home. We'll talk later."
"Let's go pick peanuts in the fields this afternoon."
"Yes, pick some peanuts and cook them up. They are delicious."
After all, they are still children, and all they think about is eating.
"Your aunt made stir-fried pork with green peppers. Eat it here."
"Uncle, no need. Let's go back to the old house to eat."
Da Niu and Xiang Dong trust Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue more than their own parents, but they know they can't eat here every day.
The children played here for a while and then went back to the old house when Sun Jiaxue brought out the food.
Old man Li and old woman Li couldn't stop laughing when they looked at the test papers of Da Niu and the others.
It's good for school.
Li Mingli said: "The children in my family are all very smart."
"Aunt and uncle taught us a lot."
"Yes, don't forget your uncle and aunt when you become successful in the future."
Li Lizhu smiled and said, "I heard that my two nephews are a bit tired of studying. They would rather come back to work in the fields than stay in school."
Erniu said, "Mom, my uncle's brother didn't finish his homework last time and was criticized by the teacher."
"So that's how it is. I'll help them in school from now on."
But I guess it’s hard for those two kids to hold on.
When Zhang Chunya went to work today, he talked about this with Li Lizhu and asked her how she taught Erniu and Sanniu.
I'm really ashamed to say that this is all thanks to Li Mingqing and his wife.
