"Brother Mingqing, why do I feel that Wu Lili is a little strange?"
"It's quite strange. She looks like she's lost her soul. You can tell she hasn't been having a good time lately. But you have to pay more attention to her. She might be up to something bad."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiaxue held his hand tightly, feeling a little worried.
"I will take good care of Niuniu."
"Okay, protect yourself too."
The two of them were walking back and happened to pass by Old Lady Zhao's door.
She was sitting at the door doing needlework.
"Jiaxue, are you guys going to the fields?"
"I went to the fields and took a look. Is Grandma sewing clothes?"
"These are spring clothes. They've been washed so many times that they're so thin. Summer is coming, so I'll alter them to wear them in the summer."
As she spoke, she reached out to play with Niuniu.
"You've grown up so fast. You've become a big boy."
"Yeah, every day is different."
Old Mrs. Zhao took out five cents from her pocket and said lovingly, "Come, Niuniu, buy some candy."
When Li Mingqing saw it, he quickly said, "Grandma, he's still young, you can't take him in."
"Keep it. It's for the children, not for you."
"Mother-in-law, how can I ask you for money when it's not a festival?"
It’s not easy for an old man like you to save a penny.
What kind of person would they become if they really accepted him?
Sun Jiaxue stuffed the money back into Grandma Li's pocket.
"Why are you still alienated from us? I'll take this dress home and sew it on my sewing machine."
"Just altering the sleeves. I'm almost done."
"Next time you need clothes altered, come to my house. Using a sewing machine will sew them quickly and well. It's so convenient."
Granny Li smiled and said, "Okay, if there's anything I can't fix, I'll come find you."
After chatting for half an hour, the family of three went home.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the sky suddenly change.
There was quite a bit of wind and the sky suddenly darkened.
This is a prelude to rain.
The people in the fields had thrown down their sickles and piled up the freshly harvested wheat, covering it with oil paper to prevent it from getting wet in the rain.
Old man Wu was extremely anxious in the wheat field.
The oil paper that was originally pressed under the stone somehow had a big hole in it. If it really rains, I'm afraid the effect will be almost the same whether I cover it with the oil paper or not.
The village chief shouted, "What are you standing there for? Cover the wheat quickly. It will get moldy if it gets wet in the rain."
"Village chief, it's broken and can't keep out the rain."
There was only one large piece of oil paper in the village, and the other smaller ones could not cover it at all.
"Oh my God, why does it rain when the weather is nice?"
"Yeah, what can we do? It's too late even to move into the house."
"What a sin."
"The wheat we harvested with so much effort is about to be soaked by the water."
The villagers were miserable.
You really depend on luck for your livelihood.
Judging from the weather, there should be a thunderstorm.
There are more and more dark clouds gathering in the sky, and the rain will definitely come quickly and heavily.
Li Mingqing, who had just arrived home, put on his raincoat and said, "Wife, stay home while I go out to take a look. By the way, where are the two large pieces of oil paper at home?"
"In the west room."
"I'll take the oil paper to the wheat field and help if I can."
It's not easy for ordinary people throughout the year.
A heavy rain at such a critical moment would be fatal.
Although he didn't work, he saw the hard work of his fellow villagers. No matter what, he would help them if he could, even if it was just a matter of walking a few more steps.
Li Mingqing didn't know that the oil paper in the wheat field was broken.
But when he got off work yesterday, he saw so much wheat in the threshing floor that the oil paper couldn't cover it at all.
The villagers were standing in the wheat field, running around anxiously.
Some old ladies have already burst into tears.
Zhou Jingli said: "Let's think of a solution. Haven't you always thought that Li Mingqing is powerful? Why doesn't he come forward to solve the problem now?"
He is so stupid to say such words in such an atmosphere.
Wu Shengli kindly whispered, "Speak less."
"That's right, the wheat is soaked in water. I've worked for half a year in vain."
The team leader shouted sternly: "Fellow villagers, go home and get sacks or straw raincoats. If each family contributes one or two, we can cover the wheat pile."
Everyone thought it was very feasible when they heard it.
Just as I was jogging back, I saw Li Mingqing walking towards me quickly.
He threw two large pieces of oil paper on the ground and said, "Why haven't you covered it yet? The heavy rain is coming soon."
"The oil paper covering the wheat pile is torn."
"I brought two big pieces, cover them first."
The village chief and the team leader immediately picked up the oil paper on the ground.
Two large pieces of oil paper just covered the wheat tightly.
Fortunately, every time we harvest extra wheat, we transport it to the threshing ground, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the wheat in the fields.
Zhou Jingli stood there with a grim expression.
I just felt like I was slapped in the face, and my face was burning with pain.
Even the gossipy Dazhu Niang and Zhang Cuihua were grateful to Li Mingqing from the bottom of their hearts.
I was willing to take out the oil paper at home.
After it was built, the villagers rushed home.
As soon as I got home it started raining heavily.
The air was thick with the smell of dust.
Puddles formed on the bumpy road, and the mainland was covered in mud.
The first rain came unexpectedly.
The village chief and the team leader stood under the gate of the Li family.
"Thank goodness you came in time, otherwise our village would be finished."
"Uncle Village Chief, I believe that anyone would do the same. As a member of the village, it's what we should do."
"There's no such thing as right or wrong. You're just kind-hearted."
Li Mingqing had a job, money and tickets, so he could have ignored it.
