Li Mingqing and several children returned to the village.
Everyone goes back to their own home and finds their own mother.
On the way to Lao Li's house, I saw several people arguing on the street.
As soon as Xu Yaozu heard it, he knew it was his grandmother speaking.
"Wang Dahua, were you the one who instigated Yaozu to go to the back mountain? You were supposed to go to the back mountain to collect firewood, but you were too lazy to let your child go to the back mountain to collect firewood. If anything happens, I will not forgive you."
"Grandma, I really don't know."
"Stop pretending. You act like I've bullied you every day, and the villagers are pointing fingers at me and looking at me with bad intentions. If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to Yaozu, I would have kicked you out long ago."
Wang Dahua had no way to defend herself.
Old Lady Xu was too strong and didn't give her a chance to speak.
Xu Dagou whispered, "Mom, if you have anything to say, go home and tell me. Yaozu is already in his teens, what could possibly happen to him? He should be allowed to do some work, otherwise he won't be able to support himself when he gets married."
Old Lady Xu raised her hand and slapped him on the head.
"You really have forgotten your mother after marrying a wife. Do you still see me as your mother? You only know that your wife is trying to sow discord between us mother and son every day."
Xu Dagou didn't say anything else.
Wang Dahua also stood there quietly.
She was the only one chattering away.
Li Mingqing said, "Yaozu, if you don't go back, your grandmother will probably take action."
Xu Yaozu smiled embarrassedly.
He felt so ashamed.
After all, now that he has grown up, he can make his own decisions in front of so many people.
When Old Lady Xu saw Xu Yaozu, her expression immediately changed.
"Grandson, are you okay?"
"No, grandma, let's go home first."
He pulled Old Lady Xu into the alley, ignoring Xu Dagou and Wang Dahahua.
Xu Dagou and Wang Dahua followed silently behind.
Wang Yifan said he hadn't forgotten the task his grandma had given him: "Uncle Li, come to my house for dinner."
"It's too late. I won't go."
"It's just getting dark, it's still early, grandma must have prepared dinner a long time ago."
"No," Li Mingqing refused again.
On the way back.
Xiangnan said in confusion, "That's not the case. Yaozu is only a few years younger than me. He wasn't like this when we were his age. Although I haven't been with Wang Yifan before, he seems quite normal this afternoon. Uncle, what do you think?"
"Everyone has his own way of living."
"My mother said that everyone has their own destiny, so don't get involved in other people's business."
Yang Daya was afraid that he would suffer at school, so she specifically warned him before he went to school.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the educated youth Cui Ji coming over.
"Ming Qing, I came to your house to borrow some books."
"What book do you want to borrow?"
"Borrow a Chinese language book. Li Xiangdong has discussed with us about starting a weekly group study session specifically to teach the villagers how to read. It just so happens that you're at home, so come and borrow a book."
Li Mingqing didn't expect that the plan that Li Xiangjun and Li Mingfu discussed last time would actually be implemented now.
This is a good thing.
There are at least thirty or forty books on the cabinets at home.
Cui Ji followed Li Mingqing into the house.
Niu Niu is sitting at the sewing machine doing her homework.
When the sewing machine body is folded in and the wooden cover is closed, it becomes a desk.
"Your children are all very studious."
Cui Ji praised.
"That's true. You don't have to worry about studying."
Li Mingqing took out three books and handed them to him. "Take a look at these three books. They all contain commonly used characters."
"Okay, I heard that you were the one who taught the villagers how to read during the literacy campaign. You have experience. I've taught the villagers twice, and to be honest, it was very difficult."
"You worry more about it. The villagers are good at tilling the land and planting seedlings, but learning to read is a long-term battle."
"Yes, you forget what you teach. You have to repeat it several times."
Cui Ji said a few words and left.
Li Mingqing went to the door to see him off, only to see Zhou Jingli coming towards him.
"Hey, why do you, such a busy man, stay in the village for such a long time? Could it be that you can't make it outside and have to come back to the village?" Zhou Jingli said sarcastically.
"You deserve a beating?"
"How rude, Cui Ji, you see, he doesn't give us educated youth any face at all, it's clear that he looks down on us."
Li Mingqing sneered and said, "Psycho."
"You're crazy! You just don't give me face."
"Go wherever's cooler. Respect is something you have to earn, not be given. You're the only one in the entire educated youth center who's always nagging. I really don't know what you're nagging about. If you have some free time, go dig two acres of land and earn some extra work points."
Zhou Jingli was about to speak when Cui Ji stopped him.
To prevent the two from fighting, or to be more precise, to prevent Zhou Jingli from getting beaten.
In fact, Zhou Jingli came here to ask him for something.
But the words turned into provocations as soon as they reached his lips.
"Cui Ji, let go. I have something to say to him."
"If you have something to say, just say it nicely," Cui Ji advised.
"I know. Please go first. What I want to say is a private matter. It's not convenient for you to hear it."
After hearing this, Cui Ji left without looking back.
To be honest, he didn't want to listen to what Zhou Jingli said.
Li Mingqing turned around and walked back into the yard, closing the door the moment he entered.
Zhou Jingli pushed the door open quickly.
"Come with me to the next village tomorrow. Oh, and lend me your bicycle to help me look good. I told the matchmaker I'd buy a bicycle, or the girl wouldn't marry me."
He said it as a matter of course and with confidence.
"I won't do such a wicked thing."
"No, I can't explain if you don't lend it to me."
"Just tell the truth, otherwise the truth will come out after I marry you."
"By the time the rice has been cooked, it will be too late to refuse."
