Chapter 125 2 Uncle, Drink the Soup

After hearing that Li Mingxia was not betrothed, Zheng Guihe's eyes became even more enthusiastic. "Sanlang, you are right. Your Mingxia is a first-class talent. In my opinion, let alone the surrounding villages, there are not many people who can match Mingxia in this town. You should look for her carefully."

Whose parents wouldn't like to hear such words? Zhang and Li Sanlang couldn't hide their smiles.

"That's for sure. I'm not bragging, but ordinary people are really not worthy of our Mingxia!" Li Sanlang drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said with a smile.

Zheng Guihe took a sip of wine and became more certain that the girl from his nephew's family was a formidable one. Apart from anything else, the wine that was being used to entertain him was definitely not cheap. This jar would probably cost several taels of silver. It seemed that his third nephew would have a good life after he was separated from his family.

"If I have anything good here, I'll have to keep an eye out for us Mingxia, then--"

Zhang had already received the hint from her daughter's eyes. When she heard this, she stood up and took the bowl in front of Zheng Guihe, "Second uncle, I'll serve you a bowl of soup. Have a taste."

While Zheng Guihe was drinking the soup, Zhang said, "My daughter has never had a good life before. Now that she has finally gotten better, I can't bear to let her get married so early. She has to stay for a few more years."

Zheng Guihe didn't know whether he didn't take it seriously or the wine was really delicious. Zheng Guihe poured himself a glass of wine and toasted with Li Sanlang, enjoying himself very much.

"Uncle, we don't know how to install these glazed windows. The workers will be here tomorrow, and we'll need your guidance then. Otherwise, we'll be so clumsy and break some of them and we'll be heartbroken. These are valuable things." Zhang remembered this and couldn't help but interrupt again.

This time, Zheng Guihe agreed readily, "What else can I say? With our relationship, I have to come even if you don't ask me to, right?"

Country people pay attention to interpersonal relationships, and Zhang is even more so. If someone is nice to her a little, she is willing to repay five points. She smiled when she heard what Zheng Guihe said.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, especially Zheng Guihe, who asked Li Sanlang about many things and also asked about Old Mrs. Zheng's situation. However, when Li Sanlang suggested that they go for a stroll around the old house together, Zheng Guihe ignored the idea.

"Nephew, I'm happy for you today. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink, drink!"

Li Sanlang paused, not knowing why the atmosphere suddenly became cold when everything was fine just now.

"Second uncle, drink the soup instead of drinking wine. If you drink too much, won't my second uncle blame my father when we go back?"

Li Mingxia's words were playful and made everyone laugh. The atmosphere, which had been a little cold just now, suddenly became lively again.

Zheng Guihe looked at Li Mingxia with even greater satisfaction.

"To be honest, I don't like my son. But I am really proud of my eldest grandson. He is first-rate in appearance and character, and he is also smart. From now on, all the matters at home and outside will depend on my eldest grandson!" Zheng Guihe drank the wine in one gulp, and really drank the soup in big gulps as Li Mingxia said.

When it was time to light the lamps, they had to leave. Li Sanlang was still persuading Zheng Guihe not to leave. Finally, Zheng Dazhuang said he would come early the next morning. Only then did Zheng Guihe reluctantly get on the ox cart.

"Come earlier, second uncle!"

"Go back! I'll come after breakfast tomorrow morning!"

Looking at the two of them yelling at each other, Li Mingxia couldn't help but want to laugh.

Although Li Sanlang kept saying that he was not drunk and even walked back and forth on the ground several times, Zhang still made a bowl of sobering soup for him to drink.

"Don't show off. The workers we hired will be here tomorrow. If you get up with a headache after a night's sleep, who will be in charge tomorrow? Drink it up quickly." Fortunately, Li Sanlang was a good drinker. Although he drank a little too much, he was obedient and did whatever Zhang asked him to do.

Seeing his parents living in harmony and love, Li Mingxia tactfully left the house and went to Li Zhengpin's house but didn't find anyone. When he looked into the yard, he saw Li Zhengpin chopping wood.

"Brother, you just drank a lot of wine. You should go and take a rest. There is no rush for these tasks." Li Mingxia walked out and advised.

Li Zhengpin shook his head. "This is nothing. I'm not drunk. There will be many people eating at home tomorrow, so we need firewood. I have to help put up the windows tomorrow. If you don't do it now, you and mom will do it tomorrow."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Li Mingxia stopped talking and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of the sobering soup that Zhang had prepared for Li Sanlang for Li Zhengpin. He felt relieved only after he saw him drink it.

Taking advantage of having nothing to do in the afternoon, Li Mingxia packed a box of cakes and a piece of novel cotton cloth brought back from the capital and went to the village chief's house.

When Li Mingxia came out, he left the cakes and cotton cloth he brought with him at the village chief's house. At the same time, he bought all the houses and land he had taken a fancy to for ten taels of silver.

At the village chief's house, the village chief's wife touched the piece of cotton cloth and couldn't let it go.

"Boss, this piece of cloth is so beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful cloth in this town. It must be brought back by Li Mingxia from the capital." The village head's wife looked at the cloth and was already thinking of making a cotton gown to wear during the New Year. Then she would have face when she returned to her parents' home.

Although the village chief didn't know how much the cloth was worth, he knew at a glance that it was not cheap. "The only person in the Li family who can do things is Sister Xia. I'll use this cloth to make you clothes. You can keep half of the cake for your eldest son and give the rest to my mother. My mother likes to eat these things."

The village chief's wife was originally thinking about having a good meal, and she pouted when she heard this. She was not very happy in her heart, but thinking that such beautiful cloth was given to her, she did not say anything, which was rare.

The workers who were hired the next day arrived at the same time as Zheng Guihe. Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng also came. Uncle Cheng came to work, while Aunt Cheng came to see if there was anything she could do to help Zhang.

Li Zhengpin and Li Sanlang led the assembled workers into the yard and started working. "Everyone, listen to my second uncle. My second uncle is an expert!"

Zheng Guihe had seen big scenes before, so he was not nervous when he heard this. He directed the workers to start removing the windows.

Because the two of them had a good relationship, Zhang didn't bother to be polite with Aunt Cheng. She pulled her into the kitchen while talking.
