Several children ate the sweet and sticky dumplings here and went home satisfied.
——
When Li Mingqing came home from work that day, he saw Zhang Lihua happily and called out to her Li Mingli as soon as he entered the door.
Li Mingli, who had just returned from his private plot, asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Come with me to the textile factory tomorrow. Inside information: they're hiring."
Li Mingli didn't react for a moment. Three seconds later, he asked in disbelief, "Is it true?"
"Of course it's true."
He said in a panic: "Aren't all the workers in the textile factory female? Will they hire male workers?"
"We're specifically looking for male workers this time. Women can't match men in terms of physical strength. You can give it a try. Whether you succeed or not is another matter."
Old man Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, go and try it."
"I'm afraid it won't work then."
"It hasn't even started yet, so don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige."
Old Lady Li went over and tapped him on the forehead. "You've always been so polite. Such a good opportunity doesn't come around often. Don't miss it."
"Mom, what are you doing in front of the children?"
"What's wrong? I'm your mother and I can't hit you!"
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I'm just too nervous. What if it doesn't work out—"
Li Mingqing consoled him, "If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. There will be opportunities in the future."
"Ming Qing is right, relax."
Zhang Lihua said, "I really hope it works out. If my husband and I work in the same factory, we can live in the tube-shaped building the factory has allocated to us. It will be convenient for us to commute to work."
"Dividing the house?"
"Yes, it's just a small house. I went to see my colleague's house. It's very narrow, but it's more comfortable than running back and forth every day."
The house allocated by the company is barely big enough for two people.
Zhang Lihua was shocked when she went to her colleague's house. People of all ages lived together, it was extremely crowded.
There were only two narrow beds and a small dining table.
Basically, I only go back when I sleep, and usually sit under the tube building.
If you sit at home, you will suffocate to death.
Old Lady Li said, "It's quite good. The trip back and forth is indeed tiring."
"Sister-in-law, why don't you buy a bicycle?"
"Why buy a bicycle? Just walking back and forth is exercise. Why spend the money?"
She really doesn't want to spend money.
A bicycle would cost three or four months' salary, but never mind, it's just fine for commuting.
Li Mingfang and Li Mingyuan also thought about buying a bicycle, but it was just a thought and they couldn't bear to spend so much money.
It’s just a two-step walk, they are already used to it.
After hearing this, Li Mingqing stopped trying to persuade him.
Bicycles are indeed big items, and several hundred dollars is not a small amount of money.
It may not be a big deal for him, but these few hundred dollars are an astronomical figure for others.
It is not easy to save money, especially for villagers.
Otherwise, Wang Dazhu's family would not have lived in the City God Temple without rebuilding their house after it collapsed.
Not only poor but also lazy.
If we don’t work harder, we won’t be able to build a new house by next year.
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue were having dinner when they heard the village chief calling him hurriedly.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone's dead, there's blood, go see if there's any chance of saving him."
The village chief was really panicked. He was worried that the honor of being a model village that he had just won would actually result in someone’s death.
Seeing him like this, Li Mingqing knew that the matter must be complicated.
"Who saw blood?"
"Li Goudan, I don't know where Wu Liqiang got the courage to stab him with a knife, three or four times. You see, such a big incident happened before the end of the first month of the lunar year, what should we do?"
When he heard this, he immediately thought that Wu Liqiang knew that Liu Xiang had cheated on him.
No man can stand it.
But he didn't expect Wu Liguo to be so angry that he would dare to stab someone with a knife.
He must have been very angry. He was not a good person to begin with.
The village chief took Li Mingqing to the half-collapsed old house where Li Goudan lived.
Liu Xiang, with her hair disheveled, was so scared that she squatted in the corner and shivered.
Li Goudan was lying on the earthen kang, blood flowing down his body.
Wu Liqiang was pinned to the ground by Wu Liguo and Zhao Hongbin. If no one was holding him down, he would have been stabbed a few more times.
"You shameless slut, you're treating me like a fool. I'm going to kill you two bitches today."
"If you dare to do this to me, you would be drowned in a pond in ancient times."
"I've treated you well with good food and drink, and even abandoned my own parents for you. Yet you did such a despicable thing. Do you still know that you are a mother?"
Wu Liguo pressed him down and said, "Brother, calm down. If someone dies, you'll go to jail!"
"Jail? Even if they have to, they have to stab these shameless bastards to death."
He was really bloodthirsty.
Li Mingqing hurriedly checked Li Goudan's wound. The wound was in his abdomen. Fortunately, no important parts were touched. He was lucky. However, it was scary that he had lost so much blood.
Zhang Cuihua kept cursing beside her, "Shameless slut, you're seducing other men. It's not like your man is dead!"
After she said that, she rushed forward and slapped Liu Xiang several times.
He was just frightened, but came to his senses after being hit.
Wang Daya stood there in a daze, watching the blood flowing from Li Goudan's abdomen.
He looked at the bloody knife that had fallen to the ground.
Zhang Cuihua still felt sorry for her daughter, so she held Wang Daya's hand.
"My daughter, I will find you a good man."
"Mom, I'm fine."
This scandal became known to everyone in just one hour, and it happened one day before the Lantern Festival. What a good time to choose.
