As long as you are alive, think about working, and find something to do as long as you can move.
Of course, except for some lazy people.
——
Li Mingqing opened the door and went out only after hearing that it was quiet outside.
He brought money to Li Xiangjun's house.
Li Xiangjun was sitting in the yard chatting with the old captain.
"Ming Qing is here, come and sit down," Li Xiangjun stood up and moved a stool into the house.
"This is the last money for food. You can distribute it to the villagers later. It's New Year's Day, let them have fun."
Li Xiangjun didn't bother to be polite and took the money.
"Oh, so fast! I thought we wouldn't be able to count them until New Year's Eve."
"It's New Year's Eve, and just now Li Goudan and his wife and Aunt Zhang Cuihua came to our house asking for money. If we really give them money on the 30th, they will gather the whole village and tear down the door of Old Li's house."
The old captain scolded: "You are so short-sighted."
Li Xiangjun was afraid that Li Mingqing would be disappointed, so he consoled him, "It's my fault for not explaining it clearly to the villagers. Don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, I've already cursed back," Li Mingqing spread his hands.
He knew the character of Li Goudan and his companions very well. They had remained the same for more than ten years and had restrained themselves somewhat, but not much.
Li Xiangjun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Mingqing didn't take it to heart.
"I will gather the villagers together and distribute the money now."
After he finished speaking, he turned back to the house and took out the account book. "Come on, Mingqing, let's go distribute the money. You come with me. After a year, go up and say a few words. The villagers are willing to listen to you."
"I won't go."
"Go ahead, you have nothing to do."
Li Xiangjun forcibly dragged Li Mingqing to the street.
He took a gong and drum and struck it three times, and then he saw the villagers coming over one after another.
Old Lady Lin came over first.
"Are you going to give out money?"
"Yes, Ming Qing will settle the last account of this year for everyone."
"Oh my God, I can get paid again, how wonderful! Mingqing, you are really our benefactor. I haven't saved any money in most of my life, but I have saved some money since I started growing crops in the greenhouse."
Zhang Tiezhu also said, "There's such a good thing before the New Year."
"This money comes at the right time. It will be used to help my son get married after the Chinese New Year," Zhang Jinong said happily.
Zhang Dong'er said shyly, "Dad, my sister hasn't gotten married yet, I'm not in a hurry."
"I have a good job at a restaurant in the county town. I plan to earn money for another two years and then start a family. You're different. Your parents are waiting to have a grandchild."
Zhang Chun'er joked openly.
Wang Daya smiled and said, "Chun'er has become much more cheerful and generous in the county town."
"Of course, people still have to go out and become completely different from before. Jinong, your daughter is getting more and more beautiful. She will definitely find a good son-in-law in the future."
It's rare for Zhao Guiying to say something so pleasant.
Zhang Jinong said, "The hard times are finally over."
"You are really a fool with good fortune. You married a foolish wife and gave birth to such a wonderful brother and sister. You can just wait to enjoy the happiness in the future."
Old Mrs. Zhang said this with a look of envy on her face.
Li Dahua curled her lips and said, "Come on, when Jinong married that silly wife, everyone was just watching the fun and laughed at him behind his back. Now that he's doing well, they're all clinging to him."
"What harsh words you say on New Year's Day," Old Lady Zhang disagreed with her.
Li Mingqing said, "Xiang Jun, I'll keep the accounts, you pay the money."
"OK."
Although the villagers kept talking and chattering endlessly, they lined up in a long queue very consciously.
Everyone who took the money would thank him.
When it was Li Goudan's turn, he said embarrassedly, "Don't worry about what happened at noon. I was too narrow-minded."
"There are still many people behind us. Take the money and leave quickly."
Li Mingqing didn't give him any extra time to speak.
The north wind was blowing, and it was very cold to stand in the wind for a long time.
Divide the money early and take it home early.
Old Lady Xu was the last one in line. After receiving the money, she took the opportunity to say, "Mingqing, my Yaozu is very capable. Can you give him some work to do?"
"No one is needed."
"If you need help, just let me know in advance. He can do the work of two people."
She brags without thinking.
Everyone in the village knew that Xu Yaozu was extremely lazy and did nothing but save the family's money.
He went to Li Mingqing's house in the middle of the night to steal things.
Who would dare to employ a person with such character?
Xu Dagou felt very embarrassed.
To put it bluntly, he hopes his son can be taken to the police station.
Otherwise, the Xu family would be in turmoil every day because of Xu Yaozu's troubles.
What the older generation said makes a lot of sense. You can’t choose a name that’s too big, otherwise the person won’t be able to control the name and something bad may happen.
The name is Yaozu, hoping to bring honor to the family.
But now the situation is like this. It’s so embarrassing to talk about it. I can’t hold my head up in the village.
On his way home, Li Mingqing vaguely heard the Xu family mother and son walking behind him complaining to each other.
Old Mrs. Xu complained that Xu Dagou didn't say anything good about Yaozu.
Xu Dagou listened silently without saying anything.
——
This year's Spring Festival is particularly festive for the Li family.
The children were successful in their studies, and the Li Mingqing brothers were successful in their careers and made a lot of money.
I wish the whole family lives in harmony and good health.
This year is particularly worth celebrating and commemorating.
Old man Li ate peanuts and said, "Mingqing, you are very knowledgeable. Tell me a few words."
"No, it's the younger generation's turn to speak."
Xiaohong stood up immediately and said, "Okay, then I'll say a few words. I hope everyone is safe, healthy, happy and joyful in the new year."
