When Li Mingqing returned, he saw Li Xiangxia hanging around in front of his house with a man.
The man was wearing a Zhongshan suit, carrying a handbag, and his hair was combed so shiny that he looked old enough to cook.
You can tell at a glance that he is here to show off.
"Brother Mingqing is back. This is my boyfriend. He works as a worker in a textile factory in the county town. His family is from the county town."
"Congratulations."
After Li Mingqing finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the yard.
Li Xiangxia hurriedly said, "Brother Mingqing, won't you invite us in to sit down?"
"It's not convenient at home, so if you have anything to say, just say it here."
He didn't want to cause trouble for Sun Jiaxue in the room, and he was already impatient to talk to Li Xiangxia.
The man began to introduce himself.
"I'm Zhu Huamao, and I'm dating Comrade Li Xiangxia. Xiangxia told me you were her childhood playmate, so I'm happy to be here today since I'm free."
"When are you getting married?"
Zhu Huamao was stunned by the question. It was really too fast to get married after only knowing each other for two days.
Li Xiangxia looked at Zhu Huamao and wanted to hear the answer from him. She really wanted to know when they would get married so as to avoid any further complications.
"Our parents have decided on the marriage, so it should be soon."
"You should go back and discuss the wedding date. There's nothing to talk about here if the wedding date is not set yet."
Li Mingqing bluntly asked them to leave.
Li Xiangxia thought he was jealous and embarrassed. Even if he worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, he still lived in the village. She was about to marry in the county town and would be a city dweller from then on.
Zhu Huamao didn't expect that he disliked him so much and was furious.
He is a city dweller who condescended to come and visit but was turned away. He is really short-sighted.
However, he coveted Li Mingqing's bicycle. His salary was all with Zhu's mother, and he had mentioned buying a bicycle before but was not agreed.
Without the financial power in his hands, Li Xiangxia would definitely suffer a lot if she married him.
"Wife, what are you busy with?"
"I'm pickling some radishes. I have one left from the three you took out last time, and I happen to have some coarse salt at home."
"My wife is really skillful. She can do everything."
Sun Jiaxue gradually got used to Li Mingqing's praise of her and her ability to accept it became better and better.
"Brother Mingqing, go call Mom over here. I'm afraid we won't be able to control the amount and waste the juicy radishes."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
He stood at the door and shouted, "Mom, I need you for something."
As soon as Mrs. Li came out, she saw Li Mingqing standing at the door in a nonchalant manner.
"Son, you scared me with your shout. What happened?"
"It's nothing serious. My wife is pickling radishes and wants your guidance."
"I didn't think it was a big deal. I'll take care of these small things."
With the addition of Mrs. Li, the pickled radish is ready in half an hour. After leaving it overnight, you can eat crispy diced radish the next morning.
After Mrs. Li left, Li Mingqing took out the book.
Sun Jiaxue was extremely serious during the half-hour study time. Even when she was eating dinner, her mind was still on studying. She had completely reached a state of selflessness.
Being ignored, Li Mingqing smiled helplessly.
Look at my wife's performance. If she goes to school, she can get into college with her eyes closed. It's a pity that she hasn't even attended elementary school.
Sun Jiaxue wrote her name in the notebook carefully.
"Wife, this is a flashlight, put it next to you for illumination."
The sun was setting, and there were shadows outside, not to mention inside the house.
As soon as she saw the flashlight, Sun Jiaxue immediately put away her pen and notebook carefully and placed them on the bedside.
"Brother Mingqing, I'll write it tomorrow. Turn off the flashlight quickly."
Li Mingqing knew that she was afraid of wasting money, but it was exactly what he wanted, so he pulled her over and sat her on the edge of the bed.
"Brother Mingqing, hurry up~ I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"I want to buy some chicks to raise."
"Of course you can. Don't ask me about this kind of thing in the future. You are the mistress of the house, you can do whatever you want. You can go to my second sister-in-law. Her family exchanges chicks every spring, and most of the villagers go to her house to exchange."
After he finished speaking, he didn't let Sun Jiaxue say a word.
The next day, Sun Jiaxue got up with a blushing face and a pounding heart to make breakfast for Li Mingqing.
She went out to look for Li Lizhu without waiting for Li Ming to get up. She was really embarrassed to talk to Li Mingqing.
"Second sister-in-law, are you busy?"
"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down," Li Lizhu greeted her warmly.
It was the first time that Sun Jiaxue had come to visit her after such a long time. She couldn't help but want to pinch Sun Jiaxue's little face, which was so white and tender.
"Second sister-in-law, I want to buy two chicks."
"That's perfect. My mother's old hen just hatched a bunch of chicks. I'll go with you."
It just so happens that it’s not time to go to work yet.
Sun Jiaxue was carrying a small basket with a layer of soft hay at the bottom.
"Mom, I brought my brother and sister-in-law to exchange for the chicks."
The family was drinking porridge in the house. Zhang Chunya put down his bowl and came out when he heard the sound.
"Lizhu, this must be Jiaxue. I've met her several times but we've never spoken."
"Auntie, I'm here to exchange for five chicks."
"No problem, come with me and pick some. There are more than twenty of them."
When I arrived at the corner of the south wall, I saw an old hen clucking and followed by a row of chicks.
Sun Jiaxue looked at Zhang Chunya without any hesitation.
"Auntie, I want to raise three hens and two roosters. Can you pick some for me?"
"What's wrong with that? I'll pick it for you."
In less than a minute, Zhang Chunya caught five chicks and put them in the basket she brought.
Sun Jiaxue took out a dollar and handed it to Zhang Chunya.
She remembered that when she was at home, she spent about the same amount of money to buy a chick.
