Zhao Xiaoling and Zhou Yingzi looked at the two bottles of canned hawthorn with envy.
"Why does someone bring you food every day?"
"Maybe I have good character, otherwise who would give me something for free for no reason?"
Zhao Xiaoling smiled and said, "That's amazing."
Her brother lives in town, but she never sees him bringing things home every now and then.
Zhou Yingzi looked at the cans angrily and said, "I don't know when I can buy canned food without any worries. Why isn't the supply and marketing cooperative in town delivering goods?"
"It's hard to buy canned food in the county, let alone in town."
"I heard that the Friendship Store in the provincial capital has everything, including foreign goods. I really want to go and have a look."
She was very interested in the Friendship Store and wanted to see what it looked like.
Zhao Xiaoling said, "It's much bigger than the supply and marketing cooperative, but it's just so-so after taking a look around. The things inside are extremely expensive."
"Forget it, I'd better worry about my lifelong event."
Zhao Xiaoling doesn't have this worry. At her age, a year or two won't make a difference. Her family won't urge her anyway. She has a job and makes money, so she's very comfortable.
Li Mingqing felt that her ideas were extremely advanced.
She lived abroad for a few years when she was young, so she is more open-minded.
county seat.
Zheng Chenggong found two people and two carts. With more people, the work could be moved faster, but there were still forty bags of grain to be moved.
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Go to town and don't ask questions you don't have to ask."
Wei Yong and Wei Yun quickly shut up without asking any more questions. As long as they could make money, that was enough.
They knew that Zheng Chenggong was the boss of the black market and knew a lot of people, both black and white.
"Let me keep what happened today to myself, or don't blame me for being rude."
"Don't worry, big brother. We two brothers will keep our mouths shut."
The two brothers followed Zheng Chenggong since they were in their teens. If Zheng Chenggong had not given them food, they would have starved to death long ago.
In the past few years, I have made a lot of money following Zheng Chenggong and bought a place to settle down in the county town. Although it is small, at least I have a home.
In the evening, Zheng Chenggong took his two brothers to the roadside woods at the junction of the town and Lijia Village.
Li Mingqing came over after get off work and took out the forty bags of food from the space.
Seeing that the space was empty, he planted a new batch of crops.
Zhou Jiangang came over and looked at the food all over the ground, not knowing where to put his feet.
"Brother Li, today is truly an eye-opener. I've never seen so much food before."
These aren't grains but bags of money and bills.
The rumbling sound of a cargo truck gradually approached, and the two men knew it was Zheng Chenggong coming.
After the two trucks were turned off, Zheng Chenggong got out of the car.
"Brother Li, you really helped a lot this time."
"You're welcome. I haven't thanked Brother Zheng for helping me get the bricks and tiles yet."
"It's all just a small matter. If you need me in the future, just let me know."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "It's more convenient to exchange the money for some bills. It's best to exchange the money for national bills and small foreign exchange bills."
"No problem, but I'll give you the bill in two days."
"Okay, we're brothers, and I trust you very much."
They then started moving the food, and of course the people who worked on it were Zhou Jiangang, Zheng Chenggong and the Wei brothers who came with them.
It took a full hour of stopping and starting to move all the food onto the truck.
The four of them were exhausted and sweating.
Li Mingqing took out four fragrant pears and handed them to them.
"Eat a sweet pear and take a break. Brother Zheng, put some hay on the car to avoid being seen."
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, he took out a handbag from the car, took out some money and handed it to Li Mingqing.
"Here's four thousand dollars. The receipt will be sent to you the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, just send it to the supply and marketing cooperative. Brother Zheng, I'm going home."
After he finished speaking, he rode his bike home. He had already put the four thousand yuan in his space.
There is no place safer than space.
When Li Mingqing returned, Sun Jiaxue was not in the house but at Old Lady Li's place.
Hearing the sound of the bicycle, several children ran out and surrounded him, calling him "Uncle".
"Uncle, grandma and aunt are making big pot stickers with meat in them. They are so delicious!"
"Yes, grandma said my uncle likes it the most."
"He also said that little uncle can eat five or six."
Li Mingqing understood from what the children said.
It seems that we are going to have dinner in Old Lady Li's room today. He has not come over despite being asked several times.
"Brother Mingqing, Mom's cooking skills are much better than mine."
"That's right. My mother is famous in the village for her delicious cooking. Everyone envied my father for marrying her."
Mrs. Li was embarrassed and said, "What are you talking about? The children are here. If I tell anyone, I won't be able to go out and see anyone."
"I'm telling the truth, mother, don't be modest."
Sun Jiaxue listened to the mother and son bantering with each other and smiled.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made nearly two large pot stickers, which could not be put in the pot at once, so they could make two.
Li Danniu lit the fire on the stove, but the person who actually burned the fire was Li Po Po.
She was afraid that it would burn if she couldn't control the heat.
The pot stickers must be crispy when stuck to the pan but not burnt.
The smell of rice immediately wafted through the yard, and the greedy children walked around the stove and had no intention of going out to play.
Li Mingqing and his wife and several nephews and nieces finished their meal in Old Lady Li's room, cleared the table and went back to their rooms.
The children ate their fill and returned home to show off.
This time, Zhang Lihua, the third sister-in-law, didn't think there was anything wrong with the old woman asking Li Mingqing and his wife to eat in the house. After all, the old couple was invited to have a meal in the house every now and then.
