Li Xiangjun took the eggs and cabbages off the wooden cart. They were given to him by the old couple of the Lin family.
Although there are some minor frictions in the captain's family, it is still relatively harmonious.
——
That day, as soon as Li Mingqing arrived at the village entrance, Zhang Dong'er jumped out to stop him.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and braked in time, otherwise he would have crashed.
"Uncle Li, my father asked me to wait for you to come home for dinner."
"Eat? I won't go."
"The village chief and several uncles have all gone."
When I heard this, I knew that Zhang Jinong wanted to thank the villagers for their kindness in going to the mountains to find him last time.
Li Mingqing didn't want to go, but Zhang Dong'er pulled the wheel of the cart and wouldn't let him go.
The little brat is extremely stubborn.
"Let go first, I'll give you candy."
Zhang Dong'er's eyes lit up, but she still didn't let go and asked, "Would you like to come home for dinner?"
"Go, let go first."
Only then did he let go of his hand.
The little hands were frozen like little steamed buns, and it was obvious that they were swollen.
She took out two White Rabbit candies from her pocket and handed them to him.
He reached out to take it, swallowed hard several times, and put it carefully in the pocket of his cotton jacket.
He kept his hands in his pockets as he walked home.
This was Li Mingqing's first visit to Zhang Jinong's home.
There are two houses, one is a mud house and the other is a thatched house.
The wall is surrounded by wooden stakes.
There is a small path in the middle of the yard, paved with gravel to prevent mud from getting in the rain.
The simple yard looks very clean.
The cooking stove was made of yellow mud, with a small pot on it. Zhang Chun'er was cooking, and Zhang Dong'er ran over to light the fire and took out the White Rabbit milk candy and handed it to Zhang Chun'er.
"Sister, divide it with a knife and let each of you eat a small piece."
"Dong'er, where did you get this?"
"Your uncle gave it to me."
Zhang Chuner looked up and smiled gratefully at Li Mingqing.
As he walked into the door, he heard the voices of the village chief and the team leader talking in the house.
"Ming Qing is here, waiting for you."
"I didn't intend to come here, but Dong'er dragged me here."
"Is this your first time here?"
"This is really my first time here. I haven't been here before during the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Jinong sat there without saying a word, and was not as comfortable as the guests.
The fool's mother sat there obediently, looking at the village chief and then at the team leader, like a child.
Soon Zhang Chuner brought two plates of corn cakes and a bowl of carrot soup.
The few people who came didn't eat much and only drank half a bowl of carrot soup.
Knowing that Zhang Ji's family was in a bad situation, he didn't touch the corn cakes at all.
Half an hour later, Li Mingqing and several people including the village chief left.
Zhang Jinong said embarrassedly: "Why didn't you eat anything? Is it not to your liking?"
"You've been lying at home in this cold weather, you're not hungry. Go back inside and don't come out to see me off."
On the way back.
Li Mingqing said, "It seems like life is going well."
The village chief said, "It's true. Zhang Jinong knows how to make a living and he has raised his two children well."
The captain sighed and said, "Dazhu and Goudan really should learn from Jinong. Look at how chaotic they are every day."
A few people chatted with each other and soon arrived home.
Everyone was very satisfied with this trip.
