Li Mingqing ran into Zhou Jingli as soon as he rode his bicycle out of the town.
He pedaled a little harder and flashed past Zhou Jingli.
Looking at the back of his head, Zhou Jingli cursed.
Today is really bad, nothing goes well.
When Li Mingqing returned to the village, he saw the village chief and the team leader holding up big-character posters at the village entrance.
"Uncle, is it such a big deal?"
"I just put up a few new ones so it looks newer."
"It does look a lot better. The first few pictures were stained by the rain. If you don't look closely, you really can't tell what's written on them."
“I don’t know when it will come.”
"I see villagers on the street holding a copy of the Little Red Book. I don't know how much they remember, but they do have the attitude."
The village chief and the team leader were very satisfied with the scene.
If someone really saw the village like this, it would be fine even if some people couldn't recite it.
It’s enough if they are all local people.
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "It seems that our village has the potential to become a model village."
"That's great, it all depends on luck."
Every village is actually similar, except that their village has such an outstanding young man like Li Mingqing.
It’s hard to find one out of ten villages.
When I got home, the old couple of the Wu family were chatting with Sun Jiaxue at the door.
"Ming Qing is back, and we old couple are leaving first."
"Auntie, please come in and sit down."
"I won't go in at noon."
Li Mingqing got out of the car and asked, "Uncle, how are you?"
"I feel stronger than before, and my old ailments are gone. It's all thanks to your medical skills."
He said it sincerely and expressed his gratitude with all his heart.
Sun Jiaxue said: "Auntie and uncle sent two loads of firewood and also sent me the medical fee."
She handed the crumpled money in her hand to Li Mingqing.
Although the money is not much, it is all the savings of the old couple.
I don’t know how long it took to save this money, it’s really not easy to get this body back on track.
He said, "Uncle, we will accept the firewood, but we won't charge you for it."
"That won't do. After all this time and effort, this money shouldn't be considered too little."
"That's a lot of money."
"Then you should take it, otherwise I'll have to come again. To be honest with you, if you don't take the money today, we old couple won't be able to sleep."
Upon hearing this, he accepted it to reassure the old couple.
The two sons of the Wu family now live as far away from the old couple as possible.
They used to cause trouble every now and then, but I haven't seen them since Old Man Wu recovered.
Wu Liguo and Wu Liqiang were afraid that they would be forced to stay and take care of someone again.
Sun Jiaxue watched them leave and said, "I see they look better and better."
"Letting go will naturally make you feel better."
"Just now, Aunt Wu said that she has been having a very comfortable time these days."
After the two entered the house, Sun Jiaxue went to the kitchen to make dumplings.
She had finished wrapping the dumplings around eleven o'clock and was just waiting for Li Mingqing to come back and put them in the pot.
"Brother Mingqing, go ask Mom and Dad to come over and eat together. Mom came to help at noon and packed a lot."
"Okay, I'll go to the old house."
Li Dahua was there when Li Mingqing arrived at the old house.
Li Dahua said cheerfully when she saw Li Mingqing: "Mingqing, you're back from get off work. That's great. You're always here at the right time."
He also wondered when his mother became so close to Old Lady Li.
It was strange to sit together and talk in peace.
Before, we would start arguing after just a few words.
"Auntie, I'm here to call my mother to come home for dinner."
"Come to my house for dinner? Oh, my dear sister, you are living a very comfortable life. My Xiang Jun is getting married tomorrow. I really hope that the daughter-in-law he marries will be like yours. She gets along really well with you."
"I heard that Xiang Jun's wife's family is a good one, and they don't have that many problems. But you have to control yourself. Look at me, I don't care about anything."
"You are so careless. What if your daughter-in-law asks for money in the future?"
"The captain knows your daughter-in-law's village chief. We've already made inquiries. She's not that kind of family."
"Come home early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I will definitely go and share in the joy of this happy event."
Li Dahua left after she finished speaking.
Li Mingqing asked in confusion: "Mom, why is she like a different person?"
"How can I not be happy when my son gets married?"
"It's the off-season, so I guess everyone in the village will go and join in the fun."
"Just now your aunt said that there weren't enough wedding candies, so she asked Xiang Jun to buy some more later."
"Mom, where's Dad?"
"Your father went to the village chief's house. He's probably staying there for a while."
"Let's go home and eat dumplings."
When Mrs. Li and Li Mingqing returned, the dumplings were already out of the pot.
"Where's Dad?"
"Your father has somewhere to eat, don't worry about him."
At the dinner table.
Li Mingqing asked, "Mom, should I give Xiang Jun some gifts? The captain has been very kind to me."
"Indeed, you should give it to me. Once you have a family and a career, you can handle these social etiquettes on your own."
"After dinner, Jiaxue and I will go to the captain's house."
"Okay, you can just give me the gift money."
After dinner, Sun Jiaxue served a plate of dumplings and asked Mrs. Li to take it back to Old Man Li.
Old Lady Li said, "How can you eat and take at the same time? Your father is eating at the village chief's house."
"There are still several plates left. Brother Mingqing and I can't finish them all. Please take them back."
Sun Jiaxue stuffed it into her hands.
Li Mingqing returned to the room and looked around at the things in the space.
