Li Mingqing was chatting with Old Man Li at the door.
When I saw Wang Mazi carrying two full buckets of water, I didn’t know what to say.
Following the principle of less trouble is worse than more, I kept silent.
Besides, Wang Mazi is not blind, he can definitely see it.
"Old Li, let me tell you, some wicked person has made the water in the well really muddy. I guess someone with shaky hands accidentally dropped a bucket in and then pulled it out again."
"Old Wang, why don't you go to Mingqing's house and carry two more buckets of water."
"That's a waste of time! The whole village is drinking this water, and I'm going to die from drinking it."
Li Mingqing looked at him with an indescribable expression.
I want to persuade him but I feel like I can’t.
Wang Mazi is not a diligent person, otherwise he would not have waited until now to fetch water.
People usually go to fetch water early in the morning.
"Ming Qing, another year is almost over. Do you think there's any work suitable for me?"
After these words came out, Li Mingqing was in trouble.
It sounds so natural and like it should be.
"Uncle, you should just focus on your river work."
"I have to go for the white flour buns, but it's better to work in the city. When I'm old and can't work anymore, I can pass it on to my son. That way, he won't have to worry about not being able to find a wife in the future."
"Why don't you go to the county town and take a look yourself."
Wang Mazi was very self-aware and said, "If I go and take a look, it will be fine. Even if I go ten times, it will be fine."
"Then it depends on your fate."
"Alas, my life is so miserable, but I am lucky to have a son to take care of me in my old age and see me to the end."
After he said that, he left with his shoulder pole.
Old man Li said, "Uncle Wang, you really have the guts to think like that."
"Yes, it's hard for young and strong people to find work, but he's still able to recommend himself at his age."
Old Lady Li came over and asked, "Son, are you going to the county town these two days?"
"If there's nothing else, I shouldn't go. Is there something wrong?"
"I made some tofu at home, so I thought I'd give some to your brother if you were going to the county town."
"I can go there tomorrow at noon."
"That's all right. I'll go there by myself in my donkey cart. I know the way anyway. You just go about your business. I'll be sitting around doing nothing anyway."
Li Mingqing said, "Why don't you go with my dad? It's a good opportunity for the two of us to go for a stroll in the county town."
After he finished speaking, he took out a big unity banknote from his pocket and stuffed it into Old Lady Li's hand.
"You kid, take it back now."
Old Mrs. Li kept mumbling and refused to accept it.
"Mom, as your son, I want to give you this as a gift. Just take it."
"Take it back quickly, I have money."
Old man Li whispered, "Your mother and I have no place to spend the money. We are saving it all."
Li Mingqing smiled and took the money back.
"Eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want. You've worked hard for most of your life and deserve to enjoy yourself. Just accept the gift from us brothers."
"Just take care of your own little family. Your father and I won't need you."
"Your mother is right. We can walk and jump. If we let you brothers take care of us in our old age, people will laugh at us if we tell others about it. Your mother and I are not confused. Don't worry about us. We are the only two people in the village who live a comfortable life."
The four brothers brought food and clothes to them from time to time, so they didn't have to worry about anything.
All of these cost money.
The girl asked, "Grandma, can I go to the county town with you?"
"Okay, east and west, are you two going to the county town to visit your parents?"
Xiangdong said: "We are not going."
The last time I went there, I saw that it was such a small place and there was nothing to do, so I never wanted to go there again.
The big girl felt that she missed Zhang Lihua a little after not seeing her for three or four days.
Li Mingqing couldn't help laughing and said, "My daughter is really considerate."
Old man Li smiled and said, "If your future son knew what you said, he would probably be unhappy. Daughters have their own advantages, and sons have their own advantages."
"Dad, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded."
"Ever since your accident two years ago, I've realized that nothing is more important than living a good life. If you lose your life, you lose everything."
"I was originally worried that you two would be instigated by some old ladies to force Jiaxue to give birth to a son."
Old Lady Li glared at him.
"What are you talking about? I'm not an unreasonable person. Besides, I think Jiaxue really wants to have a baby, but it's you who doesn't want to have a baby."
"It's not that I don't want to have a baby, let's wait until Niuniu is a little older."
"Knowing that you have your own ideas, your father and I won't get involved."
At this moment, Li Mingqing felt that he was very lucky and it was really a relief to have such parents.
It’s time to separate, and it’s time to let go.
Be tactful in your actions and don't get involved in other people's affairs.
Sun Jiaxue came out and shouted, "Dad, Mom, come over and drink some soy milk. And Big Girl, come over too."
Li Lizhu was scooping boiling soy milk into an enamel bowl.
As Yang Daya put the brown sugar in her soy milk, she muttered, "I'm so lucky! I can even put brown sugar in soy milk. Before, I couldn't even get any soy milk to drink."
Si Niu was supported by Er Niu and San Niu and came in.
Sun Jiaxue first brought a small bowl to Li Mingqing.
"Brother Mingqing, this is made with the soybeans you brought out. It's especially mellow and delicate. Come and try it."
"I'll go get it myself, you drink first."
"The kitchen is full of heat. Don't go in. There are still several bowls."
"Wife, I think we can just have one bowl. I don't really like soy milk."
The two of them stood in the corner and drank from each other.
Old Lady Li came out to serve them another bowl, but seeing them still mumbling, she didn't go over.
Yang Daya held Niu Niu and fed her soy milk.
"My daughter, why don't I have such a good life as you?" She looked at Xiangnan who was standing beside her and said, "Your brother is reliable, but mine is nothing."
