"Your wife is really clever and skillful. Are you really not going to wear this dress?"
“What I’m wearing right now is particularly nice.”
Sun Jiaxue folded the clothes neatly and placed them beside the bed.
"You guys came to my hometown, and the money from last time hasn't been divided yet."
"How much is it?"
"Almost four hundred, much more than you can earn from digging the land for half a year. Your brothers and sisters-in-law couldn't wait and came here early to wait for you two."
When Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue arrived at the old house, everyone had a smile on their face.
Seeing everyone gathered, Old Man Li cleared his throat and said:
"We can share the money thanks to Mingqing. He risked his life to kill pigs, and Mingli, you guys know all too well. This time, the money will be divided equally among the five families. The total amount was 385 yuan, so each family will get 77 yuan."
Several people almost screamed, as more than 70 yuan was almost two months' salary for a regular worker.
The money came in both small and large amounts, and I had to count it several times before I could tell them apart.
No one was in a hurry and everyone enjoyed counting money.
Oh my god, more than three hundred yuan on the table is so shocking, I have never seen so much money.
Li Mingqing stuffed the money he got into Sun Jiaxue's pocket.
After seeing this, the people in Old Li's family thought that what the villagers said was true, and that Sun Jiaxue was in charge of the family's money.
Sun Jiaxue looked at the money in her hand and rolled it up and put it in her pocket as a matter of course.
She has gotten used to it and usually gives her all the money she spends at home.
If you think about it carefully, it’s more than a hundred yuan.
Old Lady Li said with a smile, "Okay, go back. You guys are so happy that you've lost your way."
"Mom, who wouldn't be happy? It's real money."
"Exactly. Do you think everyone is as rich as Fourth Brother, who is unfazed by praise or criticism?"
Yang Daya grinned and said, "I really hope I can get some money every day."
"Think about it, dreaming makes money faster."
The families exchanged a few jokes and then went back to their rooms.
Li Mingli and his two families were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
As soon as they got home, several families took off their shoes in unison and sat cross-legged on the kang to count their money.
Over and over again, the banknotes were counted until they were torn.
Old Lady Li looked at the money in her hand and said, "Old man, this money cannot be touched lightly. It is our coffin money."
"Look at what you said, I will definitely not move. I finally have money in my hand."
"What good luck."
"The Ming and Qing dynasties were lucky. Not only were they lucky, they were also brave and resourceful."
The old couple praised Li Mingqing in the dark, and of course they also praised the three brothers Li Mingli.
Li Mingqing had just lit the kerosene lamp when he saw Sun Jiaxue holding a small wooden box and placing it on the bed.
She put the seventy-seven dollars into the wooden box.
"Brother Mingqing, this is all the money you gave me."
Li Mingqing looked at the half-full box of money and said, "Wife, this much money needs to be spent."
"Our family's money must not be wasted."
He laughed and said, "What's the use of blades? Just buy what you like. Since you like that flower so much, I'll buy you a couple more tomorrow. The supply and marketing cooperative just got a new batch, so go check it out after get off work tomorrow."
"No, it's a waste to buy so many. I already have two."
"What's there to worry about? Just take turns wearing them."
Head flowers are really dispensable. Ordinary families may not be able to buy them even during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone in the village, from the old ladies to the newly married brides, tied their hair with cloth strips. They didn't even have hair ties, let alone hair flowers.
Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "I can't wear both of them."
"You have to get up early tomorrow, go to bed."
The next morning, the village chief and the team leader came over.
"Mingqing, don't be nervous, just act like usual."
"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, I know what's going on."
The captain looked at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and the village chief gave him a look and left.
The village chief had heard a little about his daughter's affairs.
"Ming Qing, I apologize to you for what happened to Xiang Xia. Don't take it to heart."
"Uncle, it's serious."
"I have an unwelcome request. Could you please go and persuade Xiang Xia? Although she agreed to marry, she seems to have lost her soul day by day."
"Uncle, let's cut the Gordian knot. It's not a good idea for me to go. She'll let it go after a while. What if I go and her thoughts are aroused again?"
The captain is a smart man, so how could he not hear that he didn't want to go?
But he had a point.
The captain sighed and said, "Forget it. We still have to go to the county town. Hurry up and leave sooner rather than later."
Li Mingqing looked at his back and didn't think that his actions were inappropriate.
Before leaving, Sun Jiaxue carefully sorted out his clothes.
"Wife, go to work this afternoon and wait for me at the supply and marketing cooperative when you come back."
"Don't worry, just be careful."
Li Mingqing looked at Sun Jiaxue, who was even more nervous than he was, and said, "I'm leaving now. Can you come and give me a hug?"
She looked outside the door and saw that there was no one there before she reached out and hugged him.
Li Mingqing smiled, and truly felt what it meant for the king to no longer attend court early in the morning.
I really can't bear to let go.
He had already taken a leave yesterday, so he didn't need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative again and could go directly to the town government.
When he arrived the mayor was already standing there waiting.
Fortunately, he was not wearing a Zhongshan suit, as the mayor was wearing exactly the same clothes.
"Mayor, are we going alone?"
"Yes, the meeting starts at nine o'clock. Let's go."
Li Mingqing was thinking on the road that there might be a fierce battle, and he would definitely meet Yan Xingguo this time.
"Mayor, are the people from the commune also participating?"
"Of course I am participating, but they are all acquaintances, the few people I met last time."
He slandered in his heart, it would be worse if it were a stranger, just thinking about it makes him angry.
