Chapter 290: Gone in a Meal



"I haven't seen Jiaxue for a long time. How is she now?"

"My wife and child are both fine, just waiting for the birth."

"I don't know when I'll have this good thing. I've been married for quite a while now, but there's still no news."

Li Mingqing heard what she said and said, "Come, let me show you."

"Really? That's great! I was thinking of going to the hospital but never got around to it."

Zhao Xiaoling put her wrist on the counter and asked him to take her pulse.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Maybe it's not fate yet."

"I'm just worried for no reason. After all, I'm getting old, and my parents are also very worried. But Tianhua is extremely busy. He is either on a business trip or on his way to a business trip."

“Is the pharmaceutical factory so busy?”

"Yes, he's a technician. He has to go to every pharmaceutical factory to conduct inspections and provide guidance. I don't know what he does specifically."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "It's a good thing to be ambitious."

"He just left this morning, saying he was going to the provincial capital. He will be back soon this afternoon."

"I really want my children to be able to move around and exercise more."

“Is it effective?”

"Of course it works. You're not very old, so it might just be that you don't exercise enough."

Zhao Xiaoling nodded after hearing this and took it to heart.

When Li Mingqing returned to the village, he was stopped by Wang Dazhu at the village entrance.

"I'm really fine, can you show me if anything is wrong?"

"You know it's okay without even looking."

"No, this is related to the continuation of the family line. Please take a look at it quickly. I will pay for the consultation."

After he said that, he took out two cents and forced it on Li Mingqing.

After taking the pulse, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was time to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.

At the door I met Li Xiangjun and the girl who came to propose marriage.

This is the one I've chosen, just waiting to be married.

The captain was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

It is too late to talk about getting married at my son's age, otherwise I would have had a grandson long ago.

Li Dahua pulled Li Xiangxia and Li Xianghong and stood there.

Li Xiangxia just came back this afternoon to attend Li Xiangjun's engagement banquet.

When she saw Li Mingqing, she wanted to go over and say a few words to him.

Sun Jiaxue opened the door and came out of the yard. Seeing her condition, she stopped abruptly and didn't go over.

Compared with Sun Jiaxue, she looked really unkempt.

Li Dahua pulled Li Xiangxia aside and whispered, "My daughter, it's time to move on."

"Mom, I've been looking ahead, but I don't think the girl my brother is engaged to is very good."

"Stop talking, this is your sister-in-law."

"Didn't you want to find a city girl for your brother? Why did you find a country girl?"

After hearing this, Li Dahua looked at her and said, "Don't forget that you are from the village too. Girls from the city are too delicate and can't cook or do housework. Do you think you can marry them home and raise them like ancestors?"

The captain came over and saw the mother and daughter talking and warned them, "Be careful what you say on such a happy day."

"Dad, we know."

The wife that the captain showed to Li Xiangjun was obviously capable.

Although he looks like an ordinary person, he has a straightforward personality and is not the type to hide things or play dirty tricks.

A girl like this is suitable for a mother-in-law like Li Dahua.

Sun Jiaxue said, "Brother Mingqing, this is wedding candy."

"Then I have to share in the joy."

Li Mingqing took the candy in his hand, peeled off the sugar coating and put it in his mouth.

He noticed his own actions and smiled.

It's true that when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

At first, he wouldn't eat wedding candy.

Lin Qianxia smiled and said, "Mom is still helping out at the captain's house. My third sister-in-law and I came back first."

"It's quite rare that Li Dahua can ask her mother for help."

"Everyone in the village says that my mother is a blessed person. They will definitely ask her to help with such a happy event."

"Really? How come I didn't know?"

"I don't know where it came from, but Mom is so happy."

As soon as the two finished talking, they saw Old Lady Li coming back.

"Mom, how are you?"

"That's great! I didn't expect Li Dahua, who's always so arrogant, could be so easy to talk to. It's all thanks to you. In the past, she would definitely be afraid that we would go over there and eat and drink for free."

After she said that, she went home happily.

As the autumn harvest is coming to an end, the villagers are preparing for winter.

The sweet potato vines and corn stalks that had just been harvested were neatly chopped and placed at the edge of the field.

This is food left for the village cows to eat during the winter.

The whole village was picking corn cobs in the wheat field.

After peeling off the husks, dozens of corns were tied together and placed on wooden sticks to dry.

The villagers can share the husks and take them home to make bed mats.

Everyone gathered together and chatted.

Sun Jiaxue and Li Mingqing went to look for Old Lady Li but were forced to stay by the villagers.

"Look at the young people's hands. The skin on their hands is so tender that you can squeeze out water without doing any work. Unlike us, our skin is extremely rough."

"Forget about the hands, we can't even compare to them in terms of the skin on their faces."

"Each young person is different. My daughter's hands are already covered with calluses."

"No wonder city dwellers look younger. They work less, and being sheltered from the wind and rain is the best."

"Living a comfortable life makes you look younger."

They were talking happily to each other, not caring about the life or death of Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue at all.

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "That's absolutely right. My wife and I are so lucky. We don't have to endure the wind and rain. If you work hard, your life will be better in the future."

"You are such an immodest kid."

"Auntie, there's no need to be modest about something that everyone in the village knows."

Seeing him so arrogant, the old women felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing them like this, Li Mingqing smiled and said nothing more.

"Mom, it's time to go home for dinner."

"You guys eat first. There's only one bag left and I'm not hungry."

"We came here after finishing our meal. We were originally out for a stroll, but we ran into my sister-in-law and she asked us to come and call you."

"Don't worry, it will be done in ten minutes."

Yu Huaizhi saw Li Mingqing and greeted him.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingli said sarcastically, "You really want to curry favor with the Li family. I didn't expect Yu Zhiqing to have such a face. He usually ignores us."

"Don't you know what kind of person you are?"

"I've told you twice to move back to the Youth Institution. What else do you want?"

"It's my freedom to move or not. Do I have to move if you ask me to?"

"I'm doing this for your own good. I'm thinking about you."

"Haha, everyone knows what's going on, so why are you pretending?"

Wu Shengli said, "Huaizhi, don't take what happened last time to heart. This is also for everyone's consideration."

"Don't worry, I don't take it to heart."

"Then why don't you move back?"

"It's pretty good living on my own. The rice, flour, and meat I buy are enough for several meals. Back at the educated youth center, it's gone in one meal."

He didn't want to be taken advantage of anymore.
