Time has passed, and more than three months have passed since Li Mingxin's home decoration was completed. The trees planted in the yard have begun to lose their hair.

"It's great! Today is another day off. This is the kind of life that future generations will dream of. No need to work overtime or call 996."

Comrade Li Ming got off the bed and began to tidy himself up.

Comrade Li Ming has not been idle at all in the past few months. He goes to the pigeon market every now and then to sell the extra meat, noodles, rice, etc. in the space. One after another, small coins can be exchanged for big black tens, which can lead to two stacks.

The major pigeon markets in the forty-nine cities have also earned the title of "Lime God of War", but now that autumn is approaching, there is even less food on the market, causing the pigeon markets to close. Crack down! So Comrade Li Ming can rest for a while.

"Okay, let's go fishing today and come back with some food. Perfect!"

Comrade Li Ming, who had tidied himself up, took his fishing rod and bucket and went straight to Jinshui River after breakfast.

"Slow down on the road! Mingzi." Mother Li said a few words after seeing her son who was full of energy.

"Well, don't worry, mom!" Comrade Li Ming stood at the door of the courtyard, waved his hand, and left the courtyard.

Mother Li smiled and shook her head, "This child is just too sensible!"

"Hey, isn't our son sensible? We can get enough food every month. If nothing else, I guess we have the most food in our yard."

Father Li and Mother Li can now wash and wash themselves in their new house. They don't have to queue up every day to fetch water from the yard, which is very convenient.

"That's true, but it's easy for others to say. I've been jealous recently when I saw Yan Fugui, who is across from us, and I have to find an opportunity to give Yan Laoxi a beating."

After washing up, Father Li sat on a chair in the room, lit a cigarette, and chatted with Mother Li.

"Well, that's what happened. Last time I came back with a small bag of flour, and Yan Fugui was so upset that he even made fun of me."

"What? When did you do this stupid thing!" Li's father stood up from his chair with a start. How could he bear to bully his wife like this?

Although everyone is short of food now, is it okay for you, Yan Fugui, to be sarcastic about others when you don't have the ability to get food and don't look for your own reasons?

"Why are you so anxious? Mingzi just happened to come back at that time, and Yan Fugui fought back directly. Don't worry, we didn't suffer any loss."

Father Li then touched his head and said with a naive smile, "Oh, it's okay then, hehe."

"But this Yan Fugui is also blind. Many people asked him to get some food, but he has no ability to do it himself, and he dares to act like a monster. I guess this old guy is crazy."

"Recently, most of our food has been collected by Mingzi. Let's tell him today and ask him to be careful when bringing it back next time. It's best not to be seen by others."

"It's okay if we live in the front yard. We can just protect Yan Fugui from being alone. But it will be troublesome if we live in the backyard. Last time Xu Fugui brought two kilograms of rice back, he threw it over the wall at night." Father Li said. While quacking happily.

Mother Li looked at Father Li who looked like a child and couldn't help but shook her head, "Stop laughing, go touch the eggs and save yourself from being remembered."

"okay."

By the Jinshui River.

"Hey, Xiao Li is here today!" Old man Zhang, who had arrived at Jinshui River for fishing at some point, started to greet Li Ming familiarly when he saw him.

Li Ming chuckled, ran to Old Zhang's bucket and took a look, "You can't do this, Old Zhang! You're here so early for nothing."

After ridiculing Old Man Zhang's fishing skills, Comrade Li Ming sat down on the pony next to Old Man Zhang and began to pack up and prepare for fishing.

"You kid! You rub my horse every time! Can't you bring one yourself?" Old Man Zhang blew his beard and glared.

Li Ming was indifferent, "Do you know what stationery for poor students means?"

"Bad, poor student? There are so many stationery?" Old man Zhang looked at the various baits, fishing lines, bathtubs and horses around him without confidence.

"What are you talking about me?" Old Man Zhang looked in disbelief. This was like a slap in the face! It’s still a new insulting word!

Seeing that the old man was very angry, Li Ming quickly waved his hand and denied it three times, "No, no, it's not me. Don't talk nonsense."

Old Man Zhang then turned around and continued fishing with a "hum" sound.

"But if you're right, there's nothing I can do about it."

A seemingly sarcastic word floated out and got into Old Man Zhang's head.

Li Ming trembled when he saw Old Man Zhang's hand holding the fishing rod, and laughed directly.

"Haha, don't worry about it, Old Man Zhang. Fishing is mainly about fortune-telling. You just need to come here more often."

Old man Zhang nodded proudly when he heard Li Ming hand over the steps.

After a while, Comrade Li Ming picked up a crab and threw it into the bucket without turning his head.

"Why are there only crabs today?" Li Ming muttered to express his dissatisfaction. Although this thing is delicious, it doesn't have as much meat as the fish.

"Boy, it's only normal that there are crabs in the Jinshui River at this time. These crabs are delicious."

Li Ming didn't even raise his head, "I know it's delicious, but this is too much."

"How about you switch to me and I introduce my granddaughter to you?" Old Man Zhang picked up his hobby of being a matchmaker again.

The guards standing next to him were speechless. How much did Lao Zhangtou doubt that his granddaughter would be able to get married, so he had been selling Li Ming unremittingly for three years!

"I said, Old Man Zhang, tell the truth, is your granddaughter not good-looking or extremely fat?"

Li Ming was introduced to his granddaughter by Lao Zhangtou for three years, and today he couldn't help but retaliate.

After hearing this, Lao Zhangtou immediately stopped working and threw the fishing rod on the ground, "Bah, you kid bites Lu Dongbin, you don't know the heart of a good person!"

"Old man, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to get a wife, so I introduced you to my precious granddaughter just for the sake of our friendship!"

"It's not hard for your granddaughter to look fat, but you're just staring at me, a bastard, and introducing a firecracker!"

Li Ming rubbed his nose, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and gave one to the old man, the guard, and the secretary who were familiar with the situation.

Neither the guard nor the secretary wanted it before, but then Lao Zhang spoke up and the four of them smoked together.

"You are a retired old man who comes out with bodyguards every day. He must be from a wealthy family. I am just a humble citizen. If your granddaughter is really pretty, can she take my turn?"

Comrade Li Ming took a sip and slowly exhaled a stream of smoke.

"Hmph, Xiao Li, go to the car and bring me a photo of my precious granddaughter to open the eyes of this silly boy!"

Secretary Li, who was smoking a cigarette and watching the fun next to him, let out a chuckle and ran out.
