Chapter 161 Celebration
Mrs. Ma was a well-known person in the town. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had suffered such an injustice. In her eyes, Li Mingxia was just a person of very low status. After hearing Li Mingxia's sarcastic remarks, she immediately became unhappy.
"Are you talking to me like this because you think your brother will definitely be able to enter the intermediate class?" Madam Ma sneered, looking at Li Mingxia with disdain. After looking him up and down, she spoke again: "Let me tell you, even if Master Cao himself said that he wanted to take your brother in, I have the ability to get someone to recommend my son to enter the intermediate class. Miss Li, I advise you not to fight for things that you shouldn't fight for, and don't worry about things that you don't want to worry about. Knowing your own identity is more important than anything else."
After saying this, Mrs. Ma took Ma Cong's hand and left without looking back.
Li Mingxia glanced at Li Zhengde who was standing beside him, and his heart moved.
"Sister, what does she mean? Can't I get into the intermediate class?"
"Don't pay attention to her. Since you have already fought for this place for yourself, I will let you enter this intermediate class no matter what."
"So sister, shall we go home now?"
"If you don't want to go home, I'll take you somewhere else."
Li Mingxia originally planned to take Li Zhengde home directly, but now changed her mind.
"Sister, are we going to meet Lord He?" Li Zhengde asked, looking at the gate of the county government office.
Li Mingxia nodded and said, "We Zhengde are smart."
"Miss Li!?" Xiao Wu's voice was filled with surprise every time he saw Li Mingxia, and this time was no exception.
"Where is your Lord He?" Li Mingxia asked with a smile.
Xiao Wu had a look of disappointment on his face, but he felt it was normal. After a pause, he continued to talk to Li Mingxia as usual, "Our master has gone out to do something, and he will be back in about two hours. Miss Li, can you wait in? It will only take a few cups of tea."
Xiao Wu seemed to want Li Mingxia to follow him into the yamen and sit for a while. If there was nothing else to do at other times, it would be fine to wait for He Changan, but it was not possible now. Li Mingxia was thinking about the workshop at home and could not stay in the town any longer.
"No need. Please give a message to your master for me. Please ask Master He to go to Baima Academy after breakfast tomorrow morning. I want to ask your help with something." Li Mingxia said to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message to the adults. Miss Li, do you really want to come in and sit down? Take a rest?"
Li Mingxia shook his head, took Li Zhengde to buy some meat bones, some ribs and lean meat, and then went home.
"Sister, do you want more dishes for dinner?" Although there is meat at Li Mingxia's house every day, when Li Zhengde saw the meat and thought of the delicious dishes made by Li Mingxia, he couldn't help swallowing.
"Yes, let's celebrate your successful admission to Baima College. Let's have an extra meal! The whole family will benefit from you." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
Li Zhengde felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, his little face turned red, but his eyes were sparkling, and you could tell at a glance that he was happy.
"Okay, okay, let's go home." Li Mingxia rubbed Li Zhengde's head, turned around and started driving attentively.
No matter who the backer that Madam Ma was talking about was, Li Mingxia estimated that the person who could help recommend her son was someone of high status in the town, and He Changan should be able to handle it. If He Changan couldn't handle it, then he could only ask County Magistrate Zhu for help.
No matter what, she had already promised Li Zhengde that she would enter the intermediate class, so she must do her best to fulfill this promise.
In the evening, Li Mingxia prepared a table full of delicious food and did not let Li Mingyu leave.
"Today is a good day. Our Zhengde will be able to enter the academy to study tomorrow. This is a day worth celebrating and commemorating for our family. Mingyu, although you are not my biological sister, I now treat you as a member of our family. You don't have to refuse. I have specially prepared the meal half an hour early. Now that you have finished eating, you can go back and eat a few less bites. No one will notice." Li Mingxia looked at Li Mingyu who was a little uneasy, and said to her.
Li Mingyu was a little touched. In order to let him have a meal here, Sister Mingxia and Third Aunt actually did so much.
"Then our Brother Zhengde will be a scholar from now on. I think Brother Zhengde will definitely have a brighter future than Brother Zhengxue!" Li Mingyu did not refuse again, but talked about the academy with Li Mingxia enthusiastically.
"It sounds very interesting, but I have never been to the town since I was a child, and I don't know if I will have the chance to visit the town in this lifetime." Li Mingyu sighed. He longed for the things and places that Li Mingxia talked about, but in his current situation, how could he have the chance to visit them?
Li Mingyu is now somewhat envious of Li Zhengde, Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong, as they can go to so many places with Sister Mingxia at such a young age.
"There will be opportunities in the future, Mingyu." Li Mingxia saw the hope and envy in Li Mingyu's eyes and said softly.
Li Mingyu shook her head, but for some reason she suddenly nodded, "Sister Mingxia, do whatever you need to do tomorrow. Don't rush back. Entering the academy is a big deal. I won't make any mistakes with these things now, so just rest assured."
Li Mingxia nodded, agreed, and then took Li Mingyu to the kitchen to eat.
I have to say, if it weren't for Li Mingyu, Li Mingxia really wouldn't be able to do many things without any worries.
Although it is just a small workshop, Li Mingxia is indispensable for everything. Even with the help of Zhang's Li Zhengpin and Li Mingyu, Li Mingxia is still thinking about these things whenever he goes out. After all, there are no telephones in this era. If something really goes wrong, Li Mingxia will not be able to know it in the first time.
After dinner, Li Mingyu returned to the old house. Li Mingxia and Zhang stopped Li Sanlang who wanted to go with Li Mingyu.
"I know you want to deliver food to those people in the old house, and I didn't say I couldn't let you go. Just wait a while, don't be so anxious. Mingyu just went back and you followed him back with the food. Aren't you obviously telling those people in the old house that Mingyu is having dinner at our house?" Zhang said helplessly, holding Li Sanlang's hand.
