"Three hundred yuan, not a penny more. Also, when I leave, Miao Qing must come with me."
"Then there will be no banquet at your house."
"Does your Miao Qing have a dowry? If not, what kind of banquet do you want to have?"
Dung Ball: "..."
"Give me the money."
"Don't worry, wait until you return the military coat to me. Also, this military coat is military supplies. If you dare to rob it privately, don't blame me for letting the police arrest you."
Dung Qiu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had just snatched the military coat for free. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he couldn't help but become timid when he thought about being arrested by the police.
"Dungball, you are becoming more and more lawless now. You even dare to rob military supplies, and you still don't get people's military coats back."
Chen Weidang finally found a chance to speak, his eyes widened, and he scolded Dung Ball angrily. Dung Ball could only kick Er Gang once, and Er Gang ran home aggrieved.
It doesn't matter if he goes back, it's not his own share anyway, so he can only look at it with greed. Er Gang muttered while running, and his feet became faster.
"Li Bing, I didn't expect that I would give you a surprise as soon as you came back. No, I was shocked. Let's go. Today we will kill the New Year pig. Let's go eat pig-killing rice."
Chen Weidang put his arm around Li Bing's shoulders and ran to the grain drying field. Li Huan and Li Le took Li Bing's luggage and returned home with gloomy faces.
"Qiao, how are you? Is your stomach okay?"
Cheng Qiao helped Li's mother go home. Li's mother felt very depressed, but she still asked Chen Qiao concernedly.
"Mom, I'm fine. You don't have to worry too much. I think my brother is very confident and I guess he has a good solution."
Mother Li nodded. She never expected that Miao Qing would dare to mess with his Li Bing's mind. This girl's heart was already broken. She only hoped that her son could handle the matter well.
"Lele, give me your things and go to the grain drying field to accompany your elder brother. I haven't been back for so many years. I don't know what will happen to me. You can take care of me on the side."
Li's mother was still worried and asked Li Le to follow her. Li Le nodded and left. Li Huan picked up all his things and walked home quickly. He was feeling angry now, but he didn't know how to vent it.
When Cheng Qiao and Li's mother returned home, Li Huan was already sitting in the yard chopping firewood. Seeing his fierce look, he seemed to mistake the firewood for Miao Qing and Dung Ball.
Not long after, Li Bing came back with a military coat in his hand and holding Li Le's hand. When he saw Li's mother, he knelt down. It was really unfilial for him not to see his mother for so many years, but it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. For the sake of the motherland,
I can only leave my mother to my younger brother.
Li's mother quickly pulled Li Bing up. If her man hadn't left early, the family would have been in too much trouble, so she agreed to let her son become a soldier.
"Mom, this is the radio I bought for you. You can listen to the radio during the winter."
"Radio, you kid, this thing is so expensive, how can you be so wasteful?"
"Mom, if your son has money, he must be filial to his mother. Also, this is a battery. When it is used up, let your brother go to the county town to buy it."
Li Huan nodded quickly, of course he would do this kind of errands.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I bought this after exchanging tickets with someone else. I give it to you."
Li Bing took out a small box from a large package and opened it. He saw two plum blossom watches, one large and one small. They looked very beautiful together.
"Thank you, brother, I like this gift very much."
"Thank you, brother." Cheng Qiao also quickly expressed his thanks.
Li Huan took it with both hands. You must know that these two watches are not cheap. The eldest brother did not know how many years he had saved to afford these two watches.
"Brother, where's mine?"
"You are the youngest, so you have to wait until the end, you know."
Li Bing shaved Li Le's nose. The little girl grew up and reached her own nest. It seemed that she would get married in a few years.
"This is the schoolbag, pen, and notebook I bought for you. You have to go to school."
Li Le pouted: "My second sister-in-law has bought it for me a long time ago. I will go to the third grade after the Chinese New Year."
Li Bing was stunned for a moment and looked at Cheng Qiao with grateful eyes. Although he was not at home, he was well aware of his family's situation.
His younger brother has never worked in the fields and is already a second-rate existence in the village, but he knows that his younger brother must have the ability to make a living, otherwise his mother and sister would not be able to support themselves just by farming.
Also, his mother didn’t use a penny of the money he sent home every month. She said it was reserved for him to find a wife in the future. Therefore, his brother was not a second-rate person, but was making money wearing the vest of a second-rate person.
When I returned home this time, I found that not only had the house been built, but there was also an extra one. Needless to say, it must have been built by my younger brother. Maybe there was dowry money from my younger brother and sister in it.
I didn't expect that Li Huan was so lucky. Even though his siblings were good-looking, he could take care of the family so well and be so attentive to Lele.
"Sister-in-law, thank you. If my brother is sorry for you in the future, I will deal with him."
Li Huan:"……"
"Thank you, brother. Let's eat. Lele, follow me to serve the food."
Cheng Qiao sensed Li Bing's sincerity and felt a little embarrassed, so she took Li Le to the kitchen.
Li Huan quickly stuffed the watch into Cheng Qiao's big pocket and went to help.
The three of them came out with bowl after bowl of vegetables. Li Bing looked at the dishes on the table, such as braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pot pork, ground three delicacies, and today's butchered vegetables, as well as a large
Big white steamed buns in a basket.
"Mom, these dishes..."
"Eat. Ever since Qiaoer came in, she has tried her best to support the family. Of course, your brother is also working hard. By the way, you are going to be an uncle soon."
Li Bing's eyes lit up. It was a good thing that he was about to have a baby in his family. He took out a wallet made of newspaper from his pocket. Cheng Qiao's eyes flashed. This was definitely made by a woman.
"Mom, there are four hundred yuan here. I originally wanted to give this money to you, but now it seems that I can't. One hundred yuan will be given to my future nephew or niece, and the remaining three hundred yuan will be given to Miao Qing."
"Son, you really want to marry Miao Qing."
Mother Li asked in disbelief.
"Mom, my hand touched a place she shouldn't have touched. Although I didn't mean it, I still have to take responsibility for it."
"Brother, you are too serious. She is an unclean woman. Shouhou saw a little beggar in the county town who looked just like Miao Qing. What can't be done..."
"Shut up……"
Li Bing glanced at Li Huan. He knew that his brother was doing it for his own good. As long as he smeared Miao Qing, he would not have to marry Miao Qing, but a woman's reputation was as great as the sky, and he did not want to taint a human life.
Besides, making a person's life worse than death is the biggest punishment for this person. As long as Miao Qing can pass this test, he will naturally treat her well in the future.
