Li Mingqing looked at her bulging belly, which had grown a lot bigger after not seeing her for a few days.
"Wife, did you receive the telegram I sent you?"
"Yeah, got it."
"Then why didn't you reply to my telegram?"
When Sun Jiaxue heard this, she stared at him with her big watery eyes.
She certainly hadn't thought of sending a telegram.
"Don't you miss me?"
"I do," she said, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
She leaned over and leaned into his arms, saying aggrievedly, "I can't sleep well at night when you're not at home."
Li Mingqing chuckled and said, "I miss you too."
He lifted her chin and kissed her.
A gentle kiss brought the two back to the feeling they had before they left.
Sun Jiaxue leaned on him to relieve herself.
"Brother Mingqing, I knitted a scarf for you. Let me give it to you to try."
After she said that, she prepared to go to the inner room to get it.
Li Mingqing picked her up by the waist and said, "Why do I feel like you've lost a lot of weight? Didn't you eat well at home?"
"No, my mother and sister-in-law often come to bring me food."
"Really? Let me see if you've gained weight."
He squeezed her shoulders lightly and continued to slide down.
"Stop it, I'm scared."
She whispered with a blushing face.
He tapped her smooth forehead and said, "Wife, what are you thinking about? Your thoughts are not pure."
He said so but his hands did not stop.
She pulled his hand in shame and anger as he continued to make trouble.
"Brother Mingqing, I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
As the saying goes, get dumplings on the bus and eat noodles when you get off.
Seeing her trying to flee, Li Mingqing stopped her and said with a smile, "I was just kidding. I didn't mean to do anything."
Sun Jiaxue leaned over and gently bit his wrist.
A small tooth mark appeared on his wrist, and it felt numb.
"It hurts, doesn't it, to let you tease me?"
Li Mingqing also wanted to be serious but seeing how cute she was, he just couldn't be serious.
He pinched her cheek and kissed her hard.
"Wife, why are you so cute?"
Her ears were red, and she leaned softly in his arms, buried her head in his neck, and said softly: "I miss you so much, take me with you next time you go out, okay?"
"Okay, I'll definitely take you with me. I won't go out until you give birth and will stay at home with you."
The two of them kissed and hugged each other for a long time before leaving the inner room.
"Wife, these are the shoes I bought for you. Try them on to see if they fit you."
"I can't bear to wear it when it's so beautiful."
"You buy it to wear, try it on."
Sun Jiaxue put them on perfectly. The socks were a little big, so they were just the right size for insoles.
The inside of the shoes is made of furry cloth, which makes them very warm.
"Here, there's also a silk scarf."
Li Mingqing tied the scarf around her neck, and the color of the scarf made her look even whiter.
She was so happy that she looked up and kissed him.
He took out the cotton-padded jackets he had bought for the old couple, as well as a set of Beijing Eight Delicatessen and two roast ducks.
"Wife, let's eat in the old house tonight."
"OK."
When the two arrived at the old house, Old Man Li and Old Lady Li were happily reading the newspaper at home.
This is a photo of Li Mingqing's exchange conference.
His glorious deeds should be seen all over the country.
This newspaper was delivered by the village chief this afternoon.
The village chief brought it back specially after going to the town for a meeting.
How could the villagers not know about such a festive event? They all benefited from it.
When Da Niu and the other children saw Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue coming over with laughter, they looked curiously at what he was holding in his hands.
Seeing this, Old Lady Li said, "What is this? Why are there so many things?"
"The two cotton-padded jackets are for you. Share the food with the children. The roast duck is delicious. Tell big brother and the others to come to the old house for dinner tonight. By the way, how is big brother recovering?"
"I can get out of bed now. I'm basically well again."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Li Mingli came over with a wooden stick.
"I knew it was you coming from the sound in the house."
"Brother, does your leg still hurt? Why are you still using a cane?"
"I don't feel anything, it doesn't hurt at all. I'm just afraid of stretching it any further and having to wait a few more days."
Li Mingqing took his pulse and found that he was recovering well.
Old Lady Li took out six or seven pieces of Beijing Eight Desserts and placed them on the fruit plate.
"Xiangdong, don't eat too much. Save some space for the roast duck later."
Several children were drooling with greed.
I had roast duck last time and I couldn’t forget the taste. Finally I had the chance to try it again.
"Uncle, is it expensive?"
“It’s a little pricey, but still affordable.”
"When we grow up, we're going to go to the capital and eat lots of roast duck, and buy lots of roast duck for my uncle."
Li Mingqing smiled when he heard this and said, "Uncle, I've kept this in mind and am waiting for your roast duck."
"Yeah, not only roast duck, but also other delicious food."
"They've really become much more sensible since I was away for ten days. But has your teacher said when the holiday will be?"
"I just finished my exam yesterday. I'll be on vacation in five days when I go to school to pick up my test papers."
Old Lady Li took out the roast duck and asked, "Is one roast duck enough for dinner?"
"Mom, cut both of them off."
With such a large family, each person only needs to take a bite with their chopsticks and the plate will be empty.
Zhang Lihua came back and saw Li Mingqing and said, "Fourth brother, you're back. Director Wang was talking to me about you this afternoon."
After she finished speaking, she took out the newspaper and showed it to him.
There are newspapers in such a small county, fortunately few villagers are willing to subscribe to newspapers.
Few people outside have seen him and they forget about him after two days.
Old man Li said, "Where did you get this, my wife? The village chief also gave me a copy."
"Director Wang from the textile factory gave it to me. I wouldn't have known about it if he hadn't told me."
Yang Daya came over with Si Niu in her arms and said, "Come here, Si Niu, do you still recognize your uncle after not seeing him for a few days?"
Si Niu stared with her big eyes and pointed at Li Mingqing with her chubby little hand.
"How can we not know each other after just a few days?"
"Mingqing, Jiaxue has been nagging about you these past few days when you weren't home. My second sister-in-law and I are almost getting calluses from hearing you."
Sun Jiaxue was a little embarrassed by what she said and stopped herself, "Third sister-in-law, no way."
"You're so shameless, haha. If you don't tell your fourth brother, he'll think you don't miss him. You have to say it now."
Seeing his wife's awkward look, Li Mingqing spoke up to help: "Come, try some pastries. They're local specialties and taste really good. I waited in line for a long time when I went to buy them."
"Then I have to try it. It's really thanks to you that I can taste such a rare thing."
Li Mingli sat there helping Old Man Li rub the corn.
It is the corn picked from the private plot.
Li Mingqing went over, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to try it out.
