Chapter 54: Homestead



Old man Li picked up the apple on the table and cut it in half. "Old woman, try it quickly."

"How come you're moving so fast? At least stay a few days."

He took a bite of the crisp flesh and said, "Old woman, at our age, it's a blessing to be able to eat. Besides, this is our son's filial piety gift to us. Even if it stays for a few days, it will eventually go into our stomachs. It's so crispy and raw."

"I wanted to leave it for my grandchildren."

"Don't do this. If Mingqing finds out, he won't send it to us next time. Don't use the child's filial piety to be a good person."

"I know, it's just a thought."

Old Lady Li suddenly realized that she had almost caused a disaster. If the gods knew about it, they would definitely be angry.

The other three brothers were very harmonious when cooking, and there was no dispute over who should use the stove first.

All in all, everyone was quite satisfied with the dinner.

Zhang Cuihua and Yang Daya reflected again and decided that if they had known Li Mingqing was so generous, they would not have done the previous trouble.

I regret it.

Fortunately, I realized it not too late, and I have benefited a lot from it.

Ever since I saw Li Mingqing teaching Li Goudan a lesson, I felt that Li Mingqing was really good to them before.

inside the house.

"Wife, wait until I have time to ask the village chief to approve a piece of land for us to build a new house."

"A new house? It must cost a lot of money."

"Don't worry about the money. Where do you want to build your new house?"

"Brother Mingqing will make the decision."

Sun Jiaxue thought it was a mud house, and she never imagined it was a house with red bricks and green tiles.

When Li Mingqing went to work in the morning, he took a look at the vacant lot next to him and thought it was very suitable.

Being close to each other, they can take care of each other. He was really worried about Sun Jiaxue being alone at home.

"Uncle Village Chief, are you home?"

Wu Tong, who was cleaning the table in the house, heard the sound and came out to see Li Mingqing standing in the yard with half a pound of brown sugar and half a pound of white sugar.

"Sister-in-law, is uncle home? Something happened."

"Inside the house, come in."

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the village chief smoking a pipe, with smoke everywhere.

"What's up, Li family kid?"

"Uncle, I want three houses. There's a vacant lot next to my house. Can you approve it?"

"Build a house?"

The village chief was very confused. The other three brothers had children crowded in one house but they were not in a hurry to build houses. Instead, he was the one who approved the land.

"The house has to be built sooner or later, and it's just the right time to build it after the busy spring season is over."

"Okay, come over tomorrow to get the paperwork."

"Thank you, uncle. This is half a pound of brown sugar and white sugar. You can't refuse it."

Li Mingqing put it on the table and was about to leave but was stopped by the village chief.

"Mingqing, I heard about what happened yesterday. Even if Li Goudan was wrong to you, he couldn't have beaten you like that. Luckily, he was too timid to go to the commune, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to extricate yourself so easily."

He knew the village chief said these words with good intentions, "Uncle, I understand."

When Li Mingfu and Wu Tong entered the room and saw the white sugar and brown sugar on the table, they thought he was really generous.

Sugar is a scarce commodity. It's no wonder that someone working in a supply and marketing cooperative is willing to spend it.

When Li Mingqing went out, he saw the village chief's two grandsons, Li Xiangnong and Li Xianggong.

"Come, uncle will give you some candies." He gave them four candies.

"Thank you, uncle."

The two children ran back to the house to show the candies in their hands to the village chief and others.

They are the children of the village chief and eat candy more often than other children, but they still can't help but be happy.

The two children were very happy because they thought they were eating hard candies and had very few opportunities to eat milk candies.

Looking at the food in the space, there are more than forty bags, which can be sold for four or five thousand yuan.

Li Mingqing was extremely happy as he was about to become a millionaire.

The first generation of rich people surpasses 80 percent of the people in the country.

Zhou Jiangang was sleeping soundly at home when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Damn it, can anyone still sleep? Who is this?"

"I."

"Who are you?"

He opened the door impatiently and saw Li Mingqing standing at the door looking at him with a smile.

Zhou Jiangang thought to himself, no wonder the voice sounded familiar, he never expected it to be Li Mingqing, they just met two days ago.

"Brother Li, come in quickly, why is it you? What a surprise."

This is the God of Wealth and we must worship him well.

"I have a batch of food. Tell Brother Zheng."

Zhou Jiangang was so excited that he almost jumped up. When he went to see Zheng Chenggong two days ago, he was worried about not being able to get food, but today the food was delivered to his door.

"Brother Li, you didn't fool me, did you?"

"Do you really think I have nothing to do? Ask Brother Zheng if he wants it. If he doesn't want it..."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Look at what you said. Food is so rare, how could I not want it? You are my brother. What do you want to eat? I will cook for you."

"I'm leaving now. I have to go to work."

"Okay, take care. I'll go find Brother Zheng to confirm the time and then meet you at the supply and marketing cooperative. By the way, how much food do you need?"

"Forty bags."

"Forty bags! That's four thousand pounds! I'm rich!"

Seeing him like this, Li Mingqing said, "Be quiet, or someone might hear you."

"I understand. I'll go to the county town to find Brother Zheng right away."

He was not at all tired at this time and was extremely excited. He could run dozens of kilometers and was so happy that he even ran to the county town.

Inside a house on one side of the black market in the county town.

"Brother Zheng, did you get the bricks and tiles I asked you to get last time?"

"I got it, but I can't get it in the next few days. I may have to wait until next month."

When Zhou Jiangang heard this, he felt sorry for Li Mingqing and wondered if he was in a hurry to use it.

"Jiangang, what brings you here?"

"We have a batch of grain, over 4,000 kilograms. Do you want some?"

Zheng Chenggong's face flushed with excitement. "How could I not want it? Where did you get it from?"

"Brother Li got it. Let him know when you're going to take me back."

"Is it okay tonight?"

"Okay, Brother Zheng, find two cars. The location is still the same small woods."

Zhou Jiangang was thinking about leaving when he saw Zheng Chenggong holding two cans of hawthorn.

"This is for Brother Li."

"Don't worry, Brother Zheng, I will definitely deliver it to him."

He walked towards the town without stopping for a moment, without wasting any time.

Li Mingqing was surprised when he saw him. How could he come so quickly?

"How do you say that?"

"Tonight in the grove above, Brother Zheng asked me to bring you some hawthorns."

Li Mingqing accepted one bottle and handed the other to Zhou Jiangang, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I won't take it. Besides, it's not that hard to walk a little."

He immediately handed it to Li Mingqing and ran away.

It's not like he's running errands for nothing; he can earn several hundred dollars at a time, which is much faster than making money from selling coal stoves.
