The family went to the river, where only a few people were skating.
The river is wide so there is no need to worry about cars crashing due to too many people.
Sun Jiaxue didn't originally want to go on the ice because her skating skills were not as good as Niu Niu's.
Li Mingqing took her hand and said, "Wife, I'm holding your hand. Let's try walking back and forth twice."
He led her for three or four laps before stopping.
His face was a little red from the wind.
Sun Jiaxue didn't feel cold at all and said happily, "I almost felt like flying just now."
"Want to go for a few more laps?"
"No, no, I'll take a break. Brother Mingqing, you play with Niuniu and the others."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Just slide a few times to satisfy your craving."
Niu Niu is having a great time playing with Zhang Dong'er.
Zhang Dong'er is seventeen or eighteen years old. Although her family lives a hard life, she is quite tall.
"Brother Mingqing, Zhang Dong'er has grown so tall! He must be almost 18, so it's time for him to get married."
"You're only eighteen, you're still young. It's a bit early to get married at this age."
"Is it too early? We were also eighteen at that time."
"Wife, we are a match made in heaven, tied together by the heavens. Look how happy we are."
Zhang Jinong came to the river carrying a rabbit.
He had just brought back the rabbit from the mountain.
As soon as he caught him, he slit his throat.
Holding a shovel, he smashed a hole in the river bank with two bangs and squatted there to deal with the rabbits.
As expected of a veteran, he handled everything in no time.
Zhang Jinong cut the rabbit into two pieces with a knife.
He came over and said, "Mingqing, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'll go back and cook this rabbit and freeze it. It's a perfect snack in winter."
Li Mingqing looked at the half rabbit he handed over and waved his hand.
"We still have pork jelly at home, so we don't need any."
"Try it. I only have half of it. I'll cook it and eat it in two meals."
"Really, no need. You have a big family, and half a rabbit is definitely not enough. We really have it at home."
Seeing that he really didn't want to accept it, Zhang Jinong didn't say anything more.
Thinking of the crowds of people passing by Lao Li's house just now, he casually asked, "I see everyone in the village has gone to your house."
"Come watch TV."
Zhang Jinong was shocked when he heard this.
television!
He had seen it before when he went to the provincial capital to sell hunted wild roe deer.
I was shocked when I saw the price above.
I didn’t expect that Li Mingqing actually bought it back.
No wonder there were so many people gathered at Old Li’s house. Many villagers probably saw such a rare thing for the first time.
Zhang Dong'er came ashore from the ice.
"Dad, why did you come back so early today?"
"Luckily, I caught a hare right after I got up the mountain."
The father and son exchanged a few words with Li Mingqing and then left.
After a while, Lin Zhaodi and Lin Jinbao, brother and sister, came over.
Lin Zhaodi was carrying a basin and was here to wash clothes.
Lin Jinbao, on the other hand, put his hands in his pockets like a big boss.
Seeing this, Sun Jiaxue said, "Zhao Di, why don't you go to the well to wash? The water there is warmer."
"Auntie, it's convenient to wash here, no need to fetch water."
"You, girl, have to take care of yourself. It's not good to catch a cold."
After hearing this, Lin Zhaodi felt her eyes a little sore.
She has always done laundry and cooking at home and is used to it.
Looking at her frozen and swollen hands, Sun Jiaxue sighed.
Li Mingqing comforted her, "Wife, this is frostbite cream, please give it to her."
"Come, Zhaodi, this is frostbite cream. Apply it after washing your clothes. Otherwise, it will get even colder in the next two days, and your hands will definitely crack from the cold."
Frostbite is a terrible thing to suffer from.
As soon as it gets warm, it becomes extremely itchy and uncomfortable.
My skin was so cold that it cracked and I didn't dare scratch it.
Lin Jinbao saw the two talking and came over to ask, confused, "Auntie, what's this good thing?"
"Medicine for your sister."
"Medicine? My family doesn't have money to buy medicine. My sister is in good health and doesn't need medicine."
“No money.”
"Just don't ask for money. It scared me. If I ask for money, my sister will be scolded by my mother when she gets home. That would really harm her."
Lin Jinbao sighed.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it was free and continued skating.
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue shook their heads when they saw his action.
Although he said he didn't care, he still knew to come and say a few words for Lin Zhaodi.
You could say he cares, but it's not that serious.
Lin Zhaodi said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
She remembered what Wu Xiaoya had said before, saying that Li Mingqing and his wife were good people.
But she often heard her mother talking bad about the two of them at home.
Xiaohong and Xiaozhe slid over from the other side in a hurry.
Shouted, "Dad, what are you and Mom doing?"
"Waiting for you."
"You guys go home first, we'll go back with my sister later."
Li Mingqing said, "Be careful not to fall. It's quite cold outside. Don't stay outside for too long."
After he gave his instructions, he and Sun Jiaxue walked back.
Wang Daguo walked from the village entrance into the village.
His brows were furrowed and he looked worried.
He looks like he has no desire to live.
He took the initiative to talk: "Mingqing, please give me some advice."
"What's going on?"
"It's about my wife."
Wang Daguo said embarrassedly.
Li Mingqing could do nothing to help with this matter.
All these years have passed and he still hasn't gotten married. If he continues like this, he'll probably be single forever.
He is okay and can do the job.
The main reason was that his mother Zhang Cuihua was standing in front of him.
Zhang Cuihua meant to find a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, preferably from the city.
She felt that the girls from the surrounding area were not as good as her.
