Li Mingqing gently pinched Niuniu's soft little hand.
It is as white and clean as a glutinous rice dumpling.
——
In town.
Li Mingqing was sitting there counting the quantity of goods when he saw Zhou Ming coming over.
"Mingqing, did Yingzi come to see you this morning?"
“Indeed, I have been here.”
He answered truthfully.
Zhou Ming said angrily, "I knew it. She still refuses to admit it. She really deserves a beating. It seems that I have been too good to her recently. She has no self-awareness at all."
Li Mingqing disagreed with this statement.
Looking at Zhou Yingzi's half-dead and slovenly appearance, it was hard to tell how good Zhou Ming was to her.
Zhou Ming was still afraid of Li Mingqing.
If it were someone else, he would have punched him.
But Zhou Yingzi was just looking for trouble, he knew Li Mingqing had no other intentions.
Besides, Manager Qian of the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative has a great favor for Li Mingqing, and if he provokes him, he might lose his job.
Weighing the pros and cons, reality does not allow him to go crazy.
Li Mingqing knew that Zhou Yingzi was going to be beaten when he saw him leaving.
Zhao Xiaoling asked, "Did Zhou Yingzi come to see you?"
"Yeah, she's missing something in her brain."
"My life is pretty miserable now. I just miss how good it was in the Yuan family."
"It's my own choice, so I can't blame others."
A thick windbreak was hung at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, so it was still quite warm inside.
Li Mingqing held a hand warmer to keep warm.
The rubber hand warmer is filled with boiling water and wrapped with insulating cotton cloth sewn by Sun Jiaxue to prevent burns.
Zheng Chenggong came in carrying a big bag.
"Ming Qing, are you busy?"
"What brings you here? It seems you're free."
"I'm really free. I heard your village had a good harvest this year, so I wanted to ask you for some food so I can earn some New Year's money for my children."
"There's food."
"I feel relieved with your words."
He said that and put the big bag on the counter with a smile.
"A pig's trotter and two pounds of prawns for my niece."
"We have everything we need at home, take it back quickly."
"Your sister-in-law asked me to bring it here. It would be hard to explain if I take it back."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Just go to the old place in the evening."
"Okay, I'll go find the two Wei brothers and make some preparations."
If you think about it carefully, we only sold grain twice this year, and this time is the third time.
Zheng Chenggong's business grew bigger and bigger.
Li Mingqing had not seen him many times this year, only four or five times at most.
They had only met twice before, when Yu Huaizhi asked him to help pull bricks.
——
Li Mingqing went home with a bag of money.
"Wife, these are pig's trotters and prawns, and some money."
It was not the first time that Sun Jiaxue had seen a lot of money, but it was the first time that she had seen so much money.
"This is?"
"The money I earned from a business deal."
"Don't take it all out, just put it away."
"I'm telling you, here's a hundred dollars, take it and buy whatever you want."
Li Mingqing collected the rest of the money and kept ten Great Unity notes.
He considerately put the big unity under her pillow.
All the money I gave her was usually placed under her pillow.
Looking at the dimes and pennies inside the pillowcase, there are quite a lot of them, all worth a few cents.
Sun Jiaxue never dared to imagine that she would have so much money in her hands.
He smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the money?"
"It's okay, I'll catch you and put you in the dark room."
"A small dark room?"
"Yes, it keeps you from getting out of bed."
Hearing this, Sun Jiaxue patted his shoulder lightly.
He started talking nonsense.
She added, "Wang Dazhu just came to see you and said he had something to ask you."
"He didn't go and worked on the river?"
“I didn’t go to the village.”
"Even Li Goudan went, but he didn't go. All the young people in the village went. There must be something hateful about pitiful people."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Dazhu standing at the door.
"You're back! Why did Comrade Yin Huan come to see you this morning?"
“You should ask the person involved.”
"I wanted to ask, but before I could, he ran away as soon as he saw me."
Li Mingqing found it funny.
Why don't you have any self-awareness?
"Are you asking Liu Jiajia about this?"
"It doesn't matter whether she knows or not. She can't control me."
Liu Jiajia came over, grabbed his hair without saying a word, and walked towards the City God Temple.
"Let go, you bitch!"
"See if I can control you. You have nothing to do but come here and slack off, leaving me to grind sweet potato noodles. You really have the nerve."
"Let go first if you want to talk nicely."
Wang Dazhu felt like the top of his head was about to be blown off.
Dazhu Niang heard the noise but pretended not to hear it.
Li Mingqing looked at the two people, and decided which pot should match the lid.
"Brother Mingqing, I heard that the Xizhou family in our village is going to have a wedding."
"The Zhou family who live in a thatched hut?"
"Yes, I heard it was an exchange marriage. Taohua married into the Zheng family in the next village, and the Zheng family's daughter married into the Zhou family."
Li Mingqing remembered that he seemed to have seen the Zheng family when he went to the next village to help drive a tractor.
If he remembered correctly, Zheng Dahai, the son of the Zheng family, was a fool.
The Zhou family is too poor to find a wife, and the Zheng family’s son is too stupid to find a wife.
It's just a pity for the girls from both families.
Zhou Taohua is a normal person after all, so it is hard to believe that she would marry a fool.
"Wife, I'm afraid something is going to happen."
"The two families have already met and agreed to hold the wedding tomorrow. I see Taohua is reluctant, but she can't persuade Old Lady Zhou."
