Chapter 5: Aunt Sun listens to advice, Li Jiayi arrives at Liu Village
But he really didn't dare to do it. Even though Li Aimin had a lame leg, he couldn't even use one hand to deal with Shi Shangfei.
Even if the uncle was included, it would still not be enough for Li Aimin to handle.
"He is really the son of an old man." Li Jiayi curled his lips and went out directly.
There were many people watching the excitement in the front yard, but no one spoke, and no one helped the old man and Shi Zhen.
Because the three masters in this courtyard and Shi Zhen's family are almost hated by the people and the gods, who would help them?
"Okay, those who need to eat should eat, and those who need to go to work should go to work." Uncle Ying Jiasheng said to the onlookers.
"Master, I..."
Before Shi Shangfei could finish, the uncle interrupted him and said, "Let's talk about it later."
"Help your mother up first."
"I understand, master."
The old man nodded and turned back into the house.
Auntie Hao Damei saw an uncle coming in and said, "You shouldn't have gone out."
"You little bastard, I'm going to take care of him sooner or later." The old man said gritting his teeth.
Hearing what the uncle said, the aunt shook her head and said nothing more.
The eldest uncle's son Ying Guangyao and daughter-in-law Jing Lanying lowered their heads to eat, and no one spoke.
But one could see a fierce look in Ying Guangyao's eyes, mainly because of what Li Jiayi said about an old man being beaten with two eggplants by his daughter-in-law at night.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I met Aunt Sun who had just returned from outside.
This Aunt Sun is the daughter-in-law of Grandpa Sun. Grandpa Sun has a leg disability and found a job as a street sweeper in the neighborhood office, earning 15 yuan a month.
Auntie Sun doesn't have a job. She usually gets matchboxes from the street office to make paste. Needless to say, she must have just gotten them.
"Add one out?"
"Yes, Auntie Sun, are you going to get the matchboxes?" Li Jiayi asked when he saw Auntie Sun carrying a bag of things.
"Well! I make some matchboxes to supplement the family income." Aunt Sun didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"That's good. It's better than those who do nothing and always hope to get something for nothing."
When Aunt Sun heard him say this, she of course knew who he was talking about, and the entire courtyard probably knew it.
In fact, Li Jiayi is not a very bad guy, of course, this is for good people.
"By the way, Aunt Sun, I remember you are from the countryside, right?"
"Yeah! What's wrong?"
"Auntie Sun, don't get me wrong. I don't look down on the countryside. I just want to make sure."
"It's okay, I know you are not that kind of person." Aunt Sun said indifferently.
"It's like this, Auntie Sun. If your registered permanent residence is still in the countryside, I advise you to transfer it here as soon as possible."
It is now July of 1958, and by October, the household registration will be finalized.
At that time, it will be basically impossible to move your household registration to the city unless you have a formal job in a state-owned institution.
The reason why Aunt Sun still has a rural household registration is that she has land in the countryside, which she cultivates for others, and they give her food every year.
But by September, the rural areas implemented a collective work point system, the land was taken over by the collective, and if you didn't work, you would have no food.
You have to know that Aunt Sun has three children, but she doesn't have a city hukou, which means her three children don't have one either.
You can imagine what the situation will be like then. Without a household registration, there will be no ration. With the ration of Grandpa Sun alone, let alone dry food, he probably won’t even be able to eat liquid food.
"Jiayi, why do you want to transfer your household registration here?"
"Auntie Sun, I can't tell you the reason. If you believe me, just move your household registration here." After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Auntie Sun didn't ask any more questions and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle Sun."
"Well! I'll be leaving first then."
"it is good."
After Li Jiayi left, Aunt Sun returned to the courtyard with a heavy heart.
Aunt Sun lives in the two back rooms in the northwest corner of the backyard, next to Uncle Three's house.
When she got home, Grandpa Sun had just come back from sweeping the streets and was eating.
"Old Sun, when I came back just now, I ran into Jiayi from the East Cross Courtyard. He told me to transfer my household registration here."
"Did Jiayi say that? Did he say why?" asked Grandpa Sun.
Aunt Sun shook her head and said, "No, he just said if you trust him, you can move your household registration here. As for the reason, he said he couldn't tell you."
Grandpa Sun thought for a moment and said, "Then move your household registration here."
"Ah! Old Sun, if I move my household registration here, our family will have 300 kilograms less food every year."
Yes, Aunt Sun and her three children all have land in the countryside, and the people who farm her land give them 300 kilograms of grain every year.
Grandpa Sun looked at Aunt Sun and said, "Ai Min and his wife are capable people. Jia Yi must have known something, so he told you."
Aunt Sun thought about it and realized it was true. She quickly said, "Then I'll go to the street office to find Director Xu later."
"Yes! Also, since Jiayi said to move here as soon as possible, then hurry up. Also, don't tell anyone else about this."
"I know, I'm not a talkative person."
In fact, Li Jiayi is regretting now! He forgot to tell Aunt Sun not to tell anyone else.
But now he was in the car.
There is no direct bus from the city to Liucun Commune. You can only take a bus to Changping County first, and then transfer to Liucun Commune.
To be honest, buses these days are really slow! And there are all kinds of smells in the carriages.
The main reason was that the road was not very good and he almost vomited. Of course, all kinds of strange smells also played a role.
Fortunately, more than four hours later, Li Jiayi arrived at Liucun Commune. It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
But he didn't eat anything because his stomach felt uncomfortable and he couldn't eat at all.
He took a few deep breaths and hurried to the west end of the commune, which was also the direction to Lijia Village.
Soon Li Jiayi saw several ox carts parked under the shade of trees at the west end of the commune.
After looking around, I saw an old man sitting there, smoking a pipe.
"Sixth Grandpa." Li Jiayi shouted.
This is also the reason why Li Aimin and Ye Xin were relieved that he came alone.
The old man whom he called Sixth Grandpa was of the same generation as his grandfather and was the sixth child.
He is a lonely man, and his wife and children passed away during the war.
The old man had an ox cart, and he pulled people from the village to the commune every day, and then pulled them back.
It only costs five cents per person for a round trip, which is the price of an egg. Have you to know that it is more than ten kilometers?
Lijia Village is very large, with more than a hundred households. People come to the commune every day, some to buy things, and some to bring eggs or mountain products to the commune to sell.
When there are more than a dozen people, there are about seven or eight people at least, and Sixth Grandpa depends on this to make a living.
That's about a dozen yuan a month, which is nothing in the city, but a lot in the countryside.
PS: Dear brothers and sisters, the status has been changed. If you have monthly tickets, please give me one! Thank you!
