"Old Li, where are you going?"
"Let's go to the county town."
"The county town, I haven't been there for half a year."
"Now that I have some free time, I can go to the county town and wander around while the weather is good. It will be cold in a few days."
Wang Mazi held the child in his arms and thought, after all, I must have a son. Look at how successful the Li family's sons are.
I have already imagined that I would enjoy the blessing of having a son like Old Man Li in the future.
Old Lady Xu interrupted his fantasy and said, "Don't think too much. By the time your precious son grows up, you'll be over 80, and your old arms and legs will have trouble walking."
"How can you talk like that? Aren't you cursing me?"
"Just telling the truth."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Old Lady Li and said, "Sister, why are you causing trouble for your own son like this? At our age, we should just stay in the village. If we go out together, the children will have to take care of you."
Old Mrs. Li just felt confused.
Wang Mazi was extremely jealous and said, "Yeah, it's better to stay at home and be honest. You can't help but also don't cause trouble for the children."
Li Mingqing's violent temper was unbearable.
"If you two have free time, go and loosen the soil in the fields. Why are you causing trouble for my parents who can run and jump? I think you are just sour grapes. Even if you want to go to the county town, no one will accompany you. We brothers will accompany our parents to the county town for a stroll. If you have the ability, you can go too."
"How can such a young man speak so irrelevantly?"
"Who is talking nonsense? You haven't said anything that is pleasing to the ear."
Old Man Zheng said, "I'm really envious of how well the Li family's old couple live."
Old Man Wu also said, "Look at how neatly he's dressed, just like a city dweller."
"That's right, he really looks like a city person."
"Ming Qing, don't get angry. I'm really jealous of your whole family."
"Uncle, a donkey cart ride to the county town costs ten cents. If you want to go, let's go to the county town. If you really can't bear to spend the ten cents, you can go to the big market, which is about the same."
Li Mingqing offered some advice to comfort him.
Old man Zheng looked at him and thought of his two pitiful sons who died young.
The old are sending off the young. If it weren't for their grandson Zheng Jiefang, the old couple would have passed away long ago along with their two sons.
Wang Mazi looked at the sack in Li Mingli's hand and asked, "What good stuff is in it?"
"Pots and pans, a mess."
"From what you said, you're moving?"
"It's convenient to live and work in the county town, so I have to come back every now and then."
Zhang Cuihua asked loudly, "Going to the county town?! Are you and your whole family going to the county town? Why don't I have such good luck?"
"How can we all move to the county town? The eldest and his wife will go to live in the county town."
"What about the three children?"
"The children have to stay at home and go to school."
Wu Li smoked his old dry pipe and said, "Let me tell you, just knowing a few words is enough. Do you really want your children to go to school all the time? That would be a waste of money."
"Yeah, it's okay for boys to go to school, but why should girls go to school?"
