Wang Dazhu squatted there pretending to be dead, looking up at the sky, with the scarf he had taken from Yin Huan wrapped around his neck.
Out of sight, out of mind.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have married Liu Jiajia even if he was beaten to death.
They quarrel from morning till night, and never feel tired.
The person most affected should be Yu Huaizhi.
He lived in a small thatched house at the entrance of the village. He had lived there for such a long time that he had kept it tidy. He even laid a layer of windproof cloth and built a fireplace, which he kept burning to keep warm.
The thatched house is separated from the City God Temple by a road.
One is in the east and the other is in the west.
After seeing this, Li Mingqing suspected that a big part of the reason why Liu Jiajia was willing to marry Wang Dazhu was because of Yu Huaizhi.
Just as Yu Huaizhi and Wang Mudan came out of the house, Liu Jiajia shouted even louder.
Afraid that others won’t understand.
Yu Huaizhi greeted, "Comrade Li, are you back from get off work?"
"Yu Zhiqing, he went to the county town instead of going to work."
Wang Mudan greeted him and turned to walk towards the educated youth center.
Li Mingqing was about to leave, but Yu Huaizhi stopped him and asked, "Comrade Li, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"What kind of help? You know I can only treat some illnesses."
"Do you have any ginseng or know someone who sells it? My mother has a weak bone structure and I'd like to buy some to nourish her. I don't know much about this, so I'd like to ask you to give it a try. I've got the money ready."
"What a coincidence! I dug some ginseng in the mountains a while ago. You can come to my house to check out the quality and buy it if you think it's suitable."
Yu Huaizhi said happily: "Okay, I'll go to your house later."
An hour later.
Yu Huaizhi was going to Li's house with two cans of food and a bottle of malted milk.
He met many villagers on the way. Seeing him carrying so many things, they asked, "Yu Zhiqing, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the Li family."
"Is there something wrong?"
"I have something to bother him with. You guys chat first and I'll leave first."
The old ladies looked at it and were extremely greedy.
The Li family is amazing and someone has good things delivered to their doorstep.
No wonder Mrs. Li and Old Man Li are getting younger and younger as they grow older. They have no worries about food and clothing. If they were members of the Li family, they would also be getting younger and younger as they grow older.
They sighed as they worked with the willow branches cut from the mountains.
"We have to make baskets in the middle of winter, and you see the Li family isn't working at all."
"Yesterday I saw Old Lady Li collecting firewood."
"Collecting firewood is different from this. We have to go back and collect firewood too. Enough of that."
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue were sitting there drying the ripe sweet potatoes.
There was a whole pot of sweet potatoes grown from the black soil in the space. They were placed in the sun for five or six days and cooked until they were oily. The dried sweet potatoes were especially soft, sticky and sweet.
"Brother Mingqing, please don't interfere, otherwise it will get on my clothes."
"It's okay. I'm wearing an apron."
The villagers don’t dry sweet potatoes like they do.
What a waste! Even if you eat the sweet potato skin, it won’t be enough.
The long winter is not easy to get through.
Before Yu Huaizhi even entered the door, Wangcai pricked up his ears and called out twice.
"It looks like someone is coming."
He had just stood up to wash his hands when he heard Yu Huaizhi calling from outside, "Comrade Li, are you home?"
"At home, come in."
"Busy."
"It's not busy, come in quickly, why do you bring so many things?"
"It was sent from home. I can't eat so much by myself. I know you don't need it, but I want to give it to you to try."
Li Mingqing said, "You are too polite. Please sit down and wait for a moment. I will go to the house to get some ginseng for you to see."
He took out the ginseng that he had taken out earlier and wrapped it in cotton cloth.
"Come and see what it's like."
After seeing it, Yu Huaizhi immediately decided to buy it.
It's been a while since it was this old-fashioned.
"How much is it? I'll go to the county town to get the money this afternoon."
"Eight hundred."
When he first heard it, he thought he had misheard.
Eight hundred dollars!
This is really a conscience price.
"Okay, I'll come back this afternoon. I'm going back first."
Yu Huaizhi left Li's house and hurried towards the county town.
Liu Jiajia saw him on the road and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I need to go to the county town for something."
"Really? Then you and I—"
Before she could finish her words, she heard Wang Dazhu shout, "Jia Jia, it's time to eat!"
Liu Jiajia wanted to say a few more words, but Yu Huaizhi had already walked three meters away.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Why does he call me to eat at this time instead of earlier or later?
What's the big deal about just eating corn grits porridge?
It's not like they're eating meat. If they were eating meat, there would be no need to shout. She would just wait in front of the stove.
I regret it so much that I shouldn't have married him on impulse.
When Mrs. Li came over, Sun Jiaxue had already cut two tables of dried sweet potatoes.
There are only three dried sweet potatoes left in the big pot.
"It was cut pretty fast. I was thinking of helping."
"Ming Qing, your father is drinking with your eldest brother, why don't you go and have a drink too."
"Anything good?"
"It's indeed good news. Our two fat pigs are being raised so well. They will be old enough to bear weight in a week. Then we will be able to get a lot of meat."
"Isn't it a bit too early to celebrate? There are still six or seven days left."
"When your father heard the news from your village chief uncle, he was so happy that he forgot his last name and fried a plate of peanuts for you to eat with the wine."
