Chapter 94: Restless Sleep



On the way back, Li Mingqing passed by Grandma Zhao's house and went in.

"Grandma Zhao, try the remaining cabbage at home. It will rot in a few days."

"Ming Qing and his wife are here. I, an old woman, can't eat so much. Take it back quickly. How can I accept your young people's food?"

Grandma Zhao looked at the juicy cabbage and quickly refused.

"Grandma Zhao, the rapeseed will be ready to eat soon, but the cabbage is definitely inedible."

The two were let into the house and then left to go home.

Because Grandma Zhao had bound feet and couldn't walk fast, when she came out, the two of them had disappeared.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Who would be willing to give away such good cabbage? Wild vegetables are hard to dig.

It's a pity for her, an old woman with no children.

On the way, the system said, "Ding, help the elderly and you will be rewarded with three bags of milk powder."

After hearing this, Li Mingqing fell into deep thought. Milk powder might not even be sold in the county town. He probably had to go to the provincial capital to buy it. However, three bags were a bit too little.

Milk powder is more nutritious than malted milk, so keep it for yourself.

When he got home, he took out the milk powder and made half a bowl for himself and Sun Jiaxue respectively.

"What is this? It smells like milk."

"I've put the powdered milk in the bedside table. If you're thirsty at home, just make some water and drink it."

Sun Jiaxue had never drunk milk powder and had never even eaten milk candy before.

Life at home is so good, even better than those in the city.

Li Mingqing thought of sending a bag to Mrs. Li, but he was afraid that the old couple would find it rare and reluctant to drink it, so he finally sent a bottle of malted milk.

There are seven or eight cans of malted milk in the space.

Even though the system is very stingy with its rewards each time, they still add up to a lot.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner?"

"I put half a bowl of the whole grain rice you gave me. It smells delicious. Come sit down and have some."

"Jiaxue is making egg pancakes, I'd better go back to the house and eat. This is for you and Dad, don't be reluctant to drink it, when you get older you should listen to your children."

"Take it back quickly. There's still half a bottle left from the last time you sent it."

"You and Dad drink one cup a day, and it will be finished in two weeks. It's a filial gift to you."

Li Mingqing put the malted milk on the table and went back to the house immediately.

He never expected that he would be rewarded with five pounds of eggs just for delivering a piece of malted milk.

As soon as I sat down in the house, I heard Yang Daya crying and shouting.

"Wife, does the third sister-in-law want to fight with the third brother?"

"No way, Third Brother is so good to Third Sister-in-law, they never even quarrel, how could they fight when she is pregnant?"

When Li Mingqing went out, he saw Li Mingfang coming over in a hurry and said, "Third brother, quickly ride your bike to take Xiangnan to the barefoot doctor."

When he went out, he saw that Li Xiangnan's face was blue and purple, and he had severe difficulty breathing. It must be that something hard was stuck in his throat.

Everyone in Old Li's family was terrified.

Li Mingqing said, "Give me the child quickly."

He picked up Xiangnan and sat him on a wooden stake, letting Xiangnan lie on his legs. He lifted the child's face slightly with one hand and placed the other hand between the shoulder blades, making a forward and upward patting motion.

Yang Daya was crying and the people around her were upset.

"If you want to save Xiangnan, shut up!"

Li Mingqing's words froze her in place. She kept wiping away her tears. She didn't want to live if anything happened to her child.

He slapped the hard object stuck in Li Xiangnan's throat five times in a row before it came out.

With a cry of "Wow", everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him crying. It was so scary.

Especially a few children who stood there obediently and didn't dare to speak.

"Xiangnan, open your mouth. Let me check if there's anything wrong with your throat."

Li Xiangnan's nose was full of tears and Li Mingqing couldn't bring himself to do it. Sun Jiaxue quickly took a roll of toilet paper and wiped his nose. She could even blow bubbles out of her snot.

Li Mingqing took a look and found that there was basically nothing wrong, just a little redness, and it would be fine in two days.

Li Mingfang pulled Xiangnan over and slapped him directly on the butt.

"Little brat, do you dare to put a stone in your mouth again next time? I told you not to listen before, so have you learned your lesson this time?"

When they heard that he had swallowed a stone, they couldn't believe it.

Li Mingqing looked at the round black stones on the ground and felt that Xiangnan was really lucky.

If the stone had any sharp edges, it would have cut my throat and caused bleeding.

After teaching Xiangnan a lesson, Li Mingfang sincerely took Li Mingqing's hand and thanked him: "Fourth brother, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Xiangnan's life would be in danger."

Why would two grown men hold hands? He quickly pulled his hand back and said, "It's just a matter of convenience."

Old man Li said with lingering fear: "I beat the child for being disobedient. It almost caused a disaster. What if Ming Qing was not at home? I would have no place to cry."

Li Xiangnan was stared at by everyone and quickly admitted his mistake, "I won't dare to do it again."

Li Danniu and her two sisters came to comfort him, while the other two brats studied the stone that Xiangnan had spit out.

Li Lizhu and Zhang Lihua took their children home and gave them a lecture.

Especially Zhang Lihua, boys have always been very naughty. Fortunately, there are adults at home. What would happen if there were no adults?

Li Xiangdong and Li Xiangxi nodded repeatedly and promised that they would not end up like Li Xiangnan before Zhang Lihua let them go.

Li Mingqing took Sun Jiaxue back to the house to eat and prepare for work in the afternoon.

This afternoon was really restless, his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

[Ding, treat the wounded and you will be rewarded with six feet of Dacron fabric]

It doesn't matter as long as there are rewards. There will be more and more rewards in the future anyway.

Ever since he studied "Lingjiu", he wanted to try it whenever he saw a sick person. Acupuncture is really magical.

When he examines people now, he looks at the various acupuncture points on their bodies.

If he was given a pen, he could draw the Eight Extraordinary Meridians exactly, and he himself couldn't believe that he had such skill.

But he still has to keep a low profile, otherwise he will be exhausted in the future.

When Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue left for work, Li Mingfang came out and said, "Come to my house for dinner tonight. Don't cook when you get home from get off work."

Yang Daya also said: "Yes, come and try my cooking."

She was truly grateful. She was almost frightened to death when she saw Xiangnan just now. She was at a loss and could only cry.

Li Mingqing was about to refuse, but Sun Jiaxue gently tugged at his clothes and changed the subject: "Okay, a home-cooked meal is fine."

Seeing that he agreed, the couple finally felt relieved.

"Wife, would you like to go to Third Brother's house for dinner? Their cooking skills are really not that good."

"Brother Mingqing, I think they really want to thank you."

"It's not a big deal. I thought it was just a few words. I didn't expect that Third Sister-in-law would be willing to let us go."

After all, it was a life-saving favor, so I'm willing to give him a meal.

On the way to work, Old Man Li asked, "Old woman, when did Ming Qing learn these skills?"

"I don't know, but it won't do any harm."

"I think he can be a doctor. Even barefoot doctors may not understand this method of saving lives."

"Don't say anything, old man. It's good to work in the supply and marketing cooperative. Don't spread this."

If the villagers knew about this, it would be over. I wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night.
