Li Mingqing went over and asked, "What are you two doing?"
"Remove the hair from the pig's head."
"Even asphalt is used, and the smell is really strong."
Xiangdong said, "Pour asphalt on it, and after a few seconds, peel it off, and the pig hair will be clean. This asphalt is specially obtained by my uncle from the factory, and it is reserved for processing pig heads."
He moved swiftly and very skillfully.
The two brothers finished the job in just over ten minutes.
"You two have some skills."
"It's all thanks to Third Uncle's good teaching. He just needs to teach us step by step."
Li Mingfang was worried that Xiangdong might not be able to handle it well, so he came out to see how it was going.
You don’t know until you see it. At first glance, you can tell that both of them have some talent.
Make it cleaner than he did.
"Xiangdong, have you two done this before?"
"No, I learned it while doing experiments at school," Xiang Dong said with a silly smile.
Li Mingqing joked: "It seems that my university studies were not in vain."
"Uncle, would you like to go to the back mountain this afternoon?"
"Catching pheasants? I won't go, you guys go. Oh, and take Xiaohong and Xiaozhe with you, they also want to go for a stroll in the back mountains."
"I cast a net on the mountain the day before yesterday to see if there were any pheasants that came to my door."
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue went to the old house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhang Lihua and her three sisters-in-law busy at work.
Killing chickens, picking vegetables, cutting vegetables, and making fire, everything is done in an orderly manner.
"Come into the house quickly, Mingli and the others are watching TV inside."
"Sister-in-law, don't cook so many dishes. It's not New Year's Eve dinner yet. Just some home-cooked food will be fine."
Judging from their posture, Li Mingqing thought it was almost like preparing a full banquet.
"We'll take care of the kitchen. You just have to wait and eat. They're all home-cooked meals. Even if you want to make a big meal, we don't have the cooking skills," Yang Daya said happily.
Sun Jiaxue rolled up her sleeves and was about to join them.
Li Lizhu pulled her up and said, "Sister-in-law, you and Mingqing go inside and chat. You don't have to worry about these things. You two are so busy in the capital. You finally got to go back home, so you should take a good rest."
Zhang Lihua also said: "Yes, there are only a few dishes, you don't need to interfere."
"Sister-in-law, Jiaxue and I will not be polite."
Li Mingqing took Sun Jiaxue's hand and went into the inner room.
There was a stove burning in the room, making it warm. There were three sweet potatoes next to the stove, roasting until oil was oozing out of them.
"Hey, brother, you guys aren't greedy for such delicious roasted sweet potatoes? Then I'll eat them without hesitation."
"It's left for you."
"This is perfect for winter," he said, cutting the sweet potato in half.
Sun Jiaxue took the sweet potato and said, "Home-baked sweet potatoes are always better than those sold outside."
"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, from what you two said, life out there is so hard. It's really hard to get by in a place where you don't know anyone."
Li Mingfang felt that Li Mingqing was too miserable.
They only see the bright and beautiful side, but not the hard and difficult side.
The more I think about it, the more difficult it is to survive out there.
He doesn't have much of a future, so it's good for him to stay in a small county town, or the provincial capital would be nice too.
Li Mingqing saw him staring at him and shaking his head, and with his sympathetic eyes, he immediately knew that he was making up some nonsense in his mind.
"Third brother, I don't know what you're thinking, but it's definitely not as bad as you think."
"Isn't it miserable? You can't even have a roasted sweet potato in the capital. Oh, it's so hard out there. I have to tell Xiangnan and Siniu about this and have them bake some sweet potatoes for you in two weeks."
Hearing this, Li Mingqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He even asked the two children to roast sweet potatoes for him.
Li Mingqing said, "You're so smart, Third Brother. It's not like you haven't been there before. Frankly speaking, I did pretty well there."
"I've been there, and it was quite glorious. But you never said a word about the hardships behind it. You're worthy of being a big shot."
Sun Jiaxue was also confused.
I can’t really say it was hard. Everything went very smoothly and naturally.
Li Mingli slapped Li Mingfang.
"Ming Fang, it's New Year's Day, why are you still so sad? Ming Qing is a scientific research talent protected by the state. No matter where he goes, people will give him some face."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "When I'm out, I do have some face."
"That's true, I was wrong."
Li Mingyuan said seriously: "After the people in the factory knew that Mingqing and I were family, they were very polite to me. I know that they were doing this for Mingqing's sake."
"Brother, don't underestimate yourself. It's because you are honest and dedicated to your work that you earn the respect of others."
"How come I didn't realize I have so many advantages? Fourth brother, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"Of course it's true. You are the most loyal among the four of us brothers."
Li Mingqing praised generously.
Old Man Li: "Yes, Mingyuan has been honest since he was young. I used to worry that your honesty would cause you harm, but now that I see that your life is getting better and better, I am relieved."
Li Mingqing was flattered to hear this.
I didn't expect his family to think so highly of him.
Before, a few old women in the village said that he couldn't give birth to a son, and many people laughed at him.
Although I didn't take it to heart, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
It was the first time he heard praise in person.
Li Mingqing teased, "Second brother, you're not going to cry because you're so moved, are you?"
"Why are you crying? I'm almost forty, I'm not a three-year-old child."
——
I don’t know who spread the news that Li Mingqing returned to the village.
Starting from the afternoon, several cars arrived in Lijia Village one after another.
When the villagers saw the car, they knew it was for Li Mingqing.
