Chapter 4: Shi Zhenxiang is eating
Chapter 4: Shi Zhenxiang is eating
When he was seventeen, which was also his third year in the army, he was injured in the leg by a bomb while trying to save the regiment commander during a breakout.
In the army, injuries to other parts of the body didn't matter, but injuries to the legs were troublesome, so he had to go home.
When he returned to his hometown, he found out that the teacher who had taught him to read and write since he was a child was no longer around.
And this gentleman is Ye Xin’s father and Li Jiayi’s grandfather.
Ye Xin's family was a scholarly family. She was the only one left at home at the time, and Li Aimin was a combat hero who had won the third-class merit.
With the help of someone who cared about them, the two got married. At that time, Li Aimin was 17 years old and Ye Xin was 16 years old.
At that time in rural areas, it was normal to get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and many people even got married earlier than that.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the regiment commander who had served Li Aimin in the army found him and arranged for him and Ye Xin to work in a woolen mill that was a state-owned unit at the time, which is now the Imperial Capital No. 1 Woolen Textile Factory.
Not only that, he was also arranged to live in the East Courtyard where he lives now, because it is close to the First Woolen Textile Factory in the Imperial Capital.
A woolen mill is not an ordinary textile mill, because it produces woolen fabrics and other types of materials.
Li Jiayi curled his lips and said nothing more. Instead, he turned to his second sister Li Jialin and said, "Sister, help me get the transcript back later."
"Okay! I get it, but do you really want to stay at Grandpa's house for the whole summer?"
In fact, the two sisters also wanted to go, but they knew that there was no room at grandpa’s house.
Although there are three rooms in my grandfather's house, only one of them can be lived in. Even if Li Jiayi goes there, he can only live with his grandparents.
"I can't say for sure. We'll see when the time comes. Maybe I'll come back early."
"All right!"
Li Jiayi started to pack, first he put on his schoolbag, then filled the kettle with boiled water and put it on his left.
At this time, my mother came into the house and took out five dollars and said, "Take this, and be careful on the road."
"Mom, forget about the money. I have money." Li Jiayi shook his head.
He was right, he was indeed rich, even richer than many working adults.
There was no way. After coming to this world, he always thought that he didn't have a golden finger, so he started to find ways to save money.
From his New Year's money to pocket money, and the penny he earned on his own, he had saved about two or three hundred over the years.
He was really reluctant to spend money before, but now it’s different. Now he has space, and money is no longer a problem for him.
"Just take it if you want."
Seeing that my mother was about to get angry, I quickly said, "Well, if you can't spend it all, I'll give you more."
"Yeah!" Ye Xin nodded, and then said, "Wait a moment, and bring some things for grandpa and grandma."
After saying that, he went over, opened the cupboard, and took out some snacks.
Li Aimin and Ye Xin's salaries are not low, and they are administrative salaries, so they have more bills and other things than ordinary workers.
There has never been a shortage of snacks at home. Of course, this is also because my mother is very strict, otherwise no matter how many snacks there are, they would not be enough.
Two bags of peach cakes and a bag of fruit; these were what Ye Xin asked him to bring to his grandparents.
After helping Li Jia put a handful of peach cakes and fruits into his schoolbag, Ye Xin took out a pound of food coupons and said, "We'll be at Liucun Commune at noon. If you're hungry, buy something to eat."
"I know, Mom."
Liucun Commune is actually the Liucun Town of later generations.
Lijia Village, where Li Jiayi’s grandfather lives, is located at the foot of the southern side of Qipan Mountain, which belongs to Liucun Commune.
"Uncle Liao, are you going to work?"
As soon as I came out of the Moon Gate, I met Liao Kai who was going to work.
"Yes! Are you going to school?" Liao Kai asked in a low voice. The reason for this is that he has a poor background. As the descendant of the imperial chef, he is cautious in everything.
In this courtyard, it can be said that few people take the initiative to talk to him, and Li Jiayi's family is not among them.
His family is definitely of good origin, and his father, Li Aimin, is a war hero. They are a family of meritorious service, so there is no need to worry about these things.
"No, I'm on vacation now. I'm going to my grandfather's house."
"Oh! Then you go quickly!" Liao Kai said hurriedly when he saw someone coming.
Li Jiayi didn't care, but he really had to leave quickly, otherwise he would miss the bus.
"Well! I'll be leaving now. We'll talk again when I come back."
When I arrived at the front yard, I saw Shi Zhen sitting at the door of a room in the east wing.
When Shi Zhen saw Li Jiayi, a vicious look appeared in her eyes. If looks could kill, he would have died a hundred times.
Unfortunately, Li Jiayi completely ignored it because it was morning and his parents were at home, so Shi Zhen didn't dare to get angry.
"Hey, shit smells so good, are you eating?"
"What did you call me, you little bastard?" Shi Zhen pointed at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Shit smells so good! What's wrong? Did I call it the wrong thing?"
Shi Zhenshi, whose real name was Zhen Xiang, became Shi Zhenshi after marrying Shi Gui. Unfortunately, she had a bad fate and became a widow in her thirties.
He has a son and a daughter. His son Shi Shangfei is 31 years old this year, and his daughter Shi Qiaomei is 16 years old and is currently in junior high school.
Shi Shangfei is a third-level fitter at the Second Steel Rolling Mill, with a salary of 45.2 yuan. He is the apprentice of an old man.
Shi Shangfei's wife is Tao Huiyun, who came from the countryside and also has a son and a daughter.
His son Shi Datiao, who is twelve years old this year, attends Xinjiekou Primary School, just like Li Jiayi.
The difference is that Li Jiayi started in the first grade of junior high school, while Shi Datiao started in the third grade.
There was no way out. I was a very poor student and only entered the first grade at the age of eight, and then I was held back two grades.
My daughter, Shi Qin, is eight years old this year. If nothing goes wrong, she should be in the first grade when school starts.
Shi Zhen put the bowl on the ground, slapped the ground and shouted: "Oh, Old Shi! You left too early. How dare a little bastard bully me!"
"Li Jiayi, what are you doing? Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young?" An old man, Ying Jiasheng, ran out of the house and pointed at him and shouted.
Damn it, are all the uncles in the courtyard houses in this imperial capital the same, holding high the banner of morality?
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Whose belt is not tied properly, exposing you? Which eye of yours saw me being disrespectful to the elderly? I just asked her to have dinner? Is that disrespectful to the elderly?"
"you……"
"What do you mean? Your face is still swollen! Did your daughter-in-law beat you with an eggplant again last night?"
At this time, Shi Shangfei and his wife Tao Huiyun came out of the house.
Seeing his mother sitting on the ground to summon the spirit, he pointed at Li Jiayi and said, "You little bastard, I'm going to beat you up."
"Come on, come here and smoke. If you don't smoke, you are the son of an old man." Li Jia stretched out his face and said.
Just as Shi Shangfei was about to step forward, Tao Huiyun beside him hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Shangshang, don't be impulsive, Li Aimin is still at home!"
Hearing his wife say this, Shi Shangfei stopped abruptly and his face turned red.
PS: Love is always there, can you give me some votes? Thank you!
