Li Mingqing rolled his eyes when he heard this. What nonsense.
Being a biological sister?
Zhao Zongwei's eyes lit up when he saw her.
He had no doubt that Zhao Zongwei was really here to save her from the dire situation.
But seeing that she was living a good life, I didn't say anything more.
After all, he even left his phone number and address, so he had a way out.
"You don't have any thoughts when you see your childhood playmate again after so many years?"
"What idea?"
Sun Jiaxue looked at him with her ignorant and clear big eyes.
"It's okay, let's eat."
After the two finished their meal, Sun Jiaxue called Li Mingqing to go to the old house together.
"Wife, don't you all want to have a baby? We have to work hard."
"Huh? Wait a minute—"
Before he could finish his words, Sun Jiaxue was carried into the inner room.
She was in great pain that night and cried and shouted that she would never have another child.
Li Mingqing tortured her until late at night before letting her go.
Looking at her messy hair, he reached out and gently straightened it.
"Tired, husband, don't move, I want to sleep."
"Wife, go to sleep."
She unconsciously leaned closer to Li Mingqing.
——
"Mingqing, your eldest brother and his family will be back tomorrow. Let's go to the back mountain and burn some paper for our ancestors."
"Dad, shouldn't we go to the grave on New Year's Eve?"
"It's fine to go now. Most villagers are going to worship their ancestors these past two days. On New Year's Eve, the county might send people to crack down on feudal superstitions. It's better to go these two days. The weather is good."
"It's just right. I have some carp at home, which is perfect for visiting graves."
After Li Mingqing finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to take out the carp and fresh meat.
"Dad, take this back."
"We have everything at home, nothing is missing."
"We can't be careless when visiting our ancestors' graves. It's my way of showing my appreciation to them, and it also allows them to see that we are living a good life."
Only then did Old Man Li reach out to take it.
The next day at noon.
The sun is shining brightly, and it feels warm on people.
The men of Old Li's family carried things and went to the back mountain to worship their ancestors.
"Remembering that something almost happened the last time we went to the back mountain to worship our ancestors, we have to be careful today."
"Dad, we have sickles with us, so we won't be in danger."
"It's hard to say, so it's better to be prepared."
Li Mingqing was not worried at all. He had enough strength to knock the wild boar unconscious.
However, Sun Jiaxue repeatedly reminded him to be careful before he left.
On the way to the back mountain, I met Li Goudan who was going to visit the grave.
He was carrying a basket with two or three sweet potatoes and potatoes in it.
I didn't even buy yellow paper.
But the intention is there, and he does live a very tight life.
Li Goudan looked at the fruit basket that Li Mingqing was carrying. It contained apples, oranges, and bananas.
We have everything, and it’s incredibly fresh.
"Ming Qing, give me an apple and I'll trade you a sweet potato."
"You're so bold! Apples are more valuable than sweet potatoes. For the sake of the deceased, I'll trade one with you."
It’s a good thing that Li Goudan still has some conscience as he doesn’t forget to visit his parents’ graves.
Old Man Li said with relief: "Goudan, be good in the future, so your parents won't worry about you."
"Master, I know."
It's rare that he agreed so readily. It's really a blessing in disguise.
Li Mingqing looked at him in disbelief.
Could it be that after living in a muddle for so many years, he suddenly got enlightened?
I remember that Goudan's mother died because Li Goudan pushed her to the ground.
Only he, the village chief and the team leader knew about this.
Li Goudan looked at Li Mingqing and said, "What are you looking at? I'm not that crazy. After all, they are my parents who gave birth to me and raised me. I didn't pay attention back then. It wasn't intentional."
"Okay, you should go to your parents' grave and talk about it."
It took about forty minutes to reach the destination.
This road is really difficult to walk on, it is winding and full of weeds.
Fortunately, it was winter. In summer, it would take more than an hour to get there.
The grave was made of earth. I hadn't been there for half a year, so there were some weeds growing on it. There was a stone tablet in front of it.
Some earthen graves don't even have stone tablets.
The four brothers took out the prepared items such as fish, meat, fruit and white wine one by one.
Li Mingqing took out matches and started burning the yellow paper.
Old man Li knelt there and talked about what had happened in the past year, saying how great his family was, asking the ancestors to rest assured and bless the family so that everything would go smoothly.
He even pulled Li Mingqing over to talk to him for a while.
"This is Mingqing, the most promising child in our family. Under his leadership, our family is getting better and better, and the village is getting better and better. Mingqing was even written at the front of the village annals by the village chief and the team leader."
Li Mingqing was stunned when he heard this.
Have you written a village history for him?
"Dad, whether the village history is true or false, you can't say anything careless."
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes at the village office. I may not recognize the other characters, but I do recognize your name. Not only in the village annals but also in the family tree, you are always at the front."
Li Mingqing didn't expect this to happen.
"When did this happen? How come I don't know?"
"It must have happened a long time ago. I just saw it two days ago."
On the way back, I met Zhao Yougen and Zhao Hongbin, father and son, carrying baskets.
"You guys came so early. I thought we were early enough."
"Ming Fang had to go to the county town in the afternoon so he came early."
"In the county town, you have to be on time for work. In the village, you can do whatever you want. No one cares. Especially during the slack season, you can sleep in until noon. But as a worker, you get paid on time every month. Thirty or forty yuan a month is too tempting."
