Li Mingqing chatted with Sun Jiaxue for a while and then it was time to go to work.
"Jiaxue, when you're done, come over and I'll go home with you so you don't have to walk by yourself."
As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to take her to the town government.
"Brother Mingqing, it's only two steps away. I can go by myself. It's tiring to go to the county town."
Li Mingqing sent her to the door and looked ahead reluctantly.
Zhou Yingzi teased, "Your wife didn't even ask you why you were going to the county town. She must be so relieved. How come she didn't suspect you were going to see a girl?"
"Comrade Zhou, please be careful with your words!"
He took out the registration form in his hand and looked at it.
As the name suggests, a coal burner is someone who burns coal. It's not an easy job, as even in the scorching summer heat, you still have to stay there and keep an eye on the coal fire.
But he is a worker after all, and it takes someone to do this hard work.
The thought flashed through his mind as he entered the space to process the pork.
The portion that would be given to Zhao Changgui tomorrow was divided out and some bones were added.
It was almost time to get off work but I still hadn't seen Sun Jiaxue.
As a result, when he went out with the cart to pick her up, he saw his wife chatting in a big restaurant.
"Wife, go home."
When she heard Li Mingqing calling her, she immediately stood up and said goodbye to the people in the hotel.
"Brother Mingqing, you're off work so soon."
"Come on, it's the same as before. It seems you are having a great time chatting with them."
"Sister Yuhong is so funny. She talks about things I've never heard of before."
Sun Jiaxue happily told Li Mingqing the story again on the way home.
Li Mingqing, who was riding a bicycle, listened to her chattering and felt that it was wise to let his wife go to work.
Look how talkative and energetic he is.
On the way, we met the captain's family who were returning from the county town after their engagement.
For the sake of the captain, Li Mingqing politely said hello, and then they went their separate ways. However, Li Xiangxia didn't think so.
"You have to bring your wife with you to work? This is holding you back."
Li Dahua couldn't help but slap her hard.
"Mingqing, it's time to go home after a day's work," said the team leader.
Li Mingqing ignored Li Xiangxia and rode his bike away, leaving them behind.
Sun Jiaxue found it very strange. Today was Xiang Xia's good day, but she didn't look as happy as she did this morning.
The team leader took a puff of his pipe and looked at Li Xiangxia without saying anything.
After the people from Old Li's family came back from work, Li Mingqing called them all over to talk about something important, and his little house was instantly crowded with people.
He took a look and decided that he should move quickly.
"Big girl and second girl, take Xiangdong and the others out to play. We adults have something to talk about."
The children in the family always responded to Li Mingqing's words, and several of them went out quickly and quietly.
Old Lady Li and a few others stared at Li Mingqing curiously.
"Son, what's the matter?"
"Did something happen to you at work?"
As soon as Yang Daya said this, everyone stared at her, "Haha, I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
Mrs. Li was extremely anxious, fearing that something might go wrong at work.
Li Mingqing was afraid that they would continue to imagine things, so he quickly said, "It's a work matter, but it's not my job. I have an application form here. You guys can discuss who will do this job."
Everyone was stunned. The surprise came too suddenly.
Old man Li was the first to react and asked, "Old Four, where do you work?"
"I work in a coal furnace in a machine shop. It's hard work."
"You have to go to the county town to work, right?"
"Yes, in the county town. It takes about an hour to get there from our village."
"It's good. It's much better than working in the fields. I have money and food every month."
Although there is not much food, at least we can get it distributed every month.
Old Lady Li took Li Mingqing's hand and asked, "Son, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true, look at it."
He took out the registration form and handed it to Old Lady Li.
Old Lady Li immediately stuffed it back into his hand as if she were holding a hot yam.
"I can't read, so I won't hold it properly."
She was afraid that her rough hands would damage the registration form, as it was not easy to do.
How many people have begged and pleaded for this registration form.
The three Li Mingli brothers looked at each other without saying a word. There was only one registration form, and no matter how they divided it, it would be inappropriate.
Li Mingqing said, "This isn't free. I bought it for a hundred yuan. You guys discuss it and give me an answer tomorrow morning."
One hundred dollars!
None of the three families could come up with that much, and it was a hundred dollars.
They originally wanted to fight for it, but their family really couldn't afford the hundred yuan, and the three brothers looked embarrassed.
Old Lady Li and Old Man Li looked at each other and said, "You two should go back to your rooms and think about this."
After Li Mingli and Zhang Lihua returned to the house, they stared at each other without saying a word.
"Wife, how much money do we have left?"
"It's not much money. Even with the money from the family division, it's only about 60 yuan."
Li Mingli sighed and said, "Why don't we just forget it? It's good to work at home."
"Why don't we go and borrow fifty dollars from my fourth brother? You can pay it back in two months after you start working at the machinery factory."
"Wife, that makes sense. I'll go talk to my fourth brother about it."
When he arrived at Li Mingqing's house, he didn't expect that Li Mingfang and Yang Daya were also there.
The two families wanted to go together and both wanted to borrow money from Li Mingqing.
"I really don't have any money. If it were a month ago, I would definitely have been able to come up with it, but I'm building houses and making furniture, so I really don't have any money."
Li Mingli and Li Mingfang were too embarrassed to speak anymore.
