The two walked around the back of the village and then headed back.
Li Xiangjun's mouth was so wide with joy that it almost reached his ears.
As expected, it’s Li Mingqing.
No matter how people become famous, it is because they have a good brain.
He and Li Mingfu have been trying to find some other way to make money for the past six months but have not been able to come up with any.
It would be great if the thorn bushes could be removed and date trees or other fruit trees planted instead.
If the output is good, you can make a lot of money.
Several other villages have also started planting fruit trees. If there are a lot of surplus fruits in autumn, they can really open a small fruit processing factory to make canned fruits or dry them.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to start working after the New Year.
"Ming Qing, thank you so much."
"I'm just proposing a simple idea, but you still have to take action. I'm not 100% sure it will work."
"That's different. Making money still depends on your brain. You can't make money by brute force."
Li Xiangjun saw it clearly.
If you can earn money by working, then all the villagers in the surrounding villages will become rich.
All the profitable businesses in the village were started with the help of Li Mingqing.
We must not forget the person who dug the well when we drink the water.
"I heard you built a big hospital in the capital. I saw the photos my aunt brought back and it looked so grand. Our county hospital looks much bigger."
Li Xiangjun was yearning and wondering when he could visit the great capital to see the sights.
"Xiang Jun, when you are free, you can come to the capital and stay for three or four days. I will provide you with food and accommodation," said Li Mingqing.
"That's great! I'm really busy all year round."
He smiled helplessly.
Although I didn't do anything big, I just couldn't relax.
Gossip about the Dong and Li families, and after finishing work in the village, go to the town to do some work.
Li Mingfu was not idle either.
The two of them are partners when they go to town. They have gotten along well with each other for many years and can get twice the result with half the effort.
"That's great. As long as you're busy and get something out of it, that's fine. Lijia Village is getting better and better under the leadership of you and Mingfu. The villagers are grateful to you two," Li Mingqing praised.
"We don't deserve it. When you're not around, the villagers keep talking about you. They also say that if you're bullied by a man in the capital, they'll sell everything they have to fight for your cause and defend you."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Everything is fine in the capital."
"You're the only one who's capable. If I went to the capital, I probably wouldn't even be able to find the way."
"Everyone has their own strengths. People from the capital can't do farm work when they go to the countryside. The educated youth before were an example. City people don't know everything."
As soon as they reached the main road, they saw Li Mingfu coming back on a bicycle.
There were two large pieces of pork belly hanging on the handlebars.
Li Mingfu slammed on the brakes, and as soon as his foot touched the ground, he shouted, "Mingqing, you really are getting younger and younger."
"Where have you been in such a hurry?"
"I went to buy some meat. With the increase in the number of people in the family, there won't be enough meat. Plus, my income is good this year, so I can still afford to have some meat during the Chinese New Year."
"Congratulations! I heard you're a grandfather."
"Well, I didn't expect to become a grandfather so soon," Li Mingfu couldn't hide the smile on his face.
He added, "Mingqing, come home for a drink when you have time."
"My father is going to take us brothers to worship our ancestors this afternoon."
"Then let's wait until New Year's Day."
Li Xiangjun couldn't wait to say, "Mingfu, Mingqing has come up with another way for us to make money."
"What method?"
"There's a thorn bush over there in the back where you can plant fruit trees."
After hearing this, Zhou Mingfu suddenly realized, yes, why didn’t they think of it.
That piece of land is idle anyway, so you can use it to plant fruit trees.
The gravel ground has been left unused.
"Oh, Ming Qing is really smart. One of them is worth eight of us."
"That's what I said. We racked our brains but never realized that the more we talk about things around us, the easier it is to overlook them. Mingqing is thoughtful and quick-witted, and what he said is very constructive."
"We both need to learn more from Ming and Qing."
“Yes, learning makes people progress.”
Li Mingqing heard the two people singing in unison and immediately said, "You two should stop flattering me."
"We both spoke the truth."
"Yes, we really need to learn. Our handwriting looks like a dog's crawl, crooked and twisted. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell what we are writing."
The two of them had to read the documents sent down from above every now and then in the town.
These documents are a little difficult for them.
I would rather plow two acres of land than deal with words.
But literacy is the most basic requirement. If they are not proficient, they must practice and not embarrass themselves.
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "The literacy classes we held back then were very useful."
"It is quite useful. It was difficult to learn at that time, but when I need it, I regret not having learned enough," said Li Mingfu.
The three chatted for a few minutes and then dispersed.
Old Mrs. Li had already prepared the things for ancestor worship and put them all in a basket, waiting for Old Man Li to take the four brothers Li Mingqing to the back mountain.
Four days passed in a flash, and it was the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Li Mingqing and his family huddled in a warm room watching TV.
Xiaohong said reluctantly, "Dad, what day are we leaving?"
"I'll leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Okay, we won't go back with mom and dad, and stay in the village for a few more days," Xiaozhe said.
Niuniu also said, "I'll stay for a few more days and wait to see who Big Brother is looking for."
Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "Okay, you guys can go back to the capital with Da Niu and the others."
"A lot of people came to our house yesterday, but today it's finally quiet," Li Mingqing said while eating peanuts. "Not only did people from our village come to pay New Year's greetings, but people from other villages came too. Luckily, our house has a big yard, otherwise there wouldn't be anywhere for so many people to stay."
