Chapter 17: A brief talk about Pigeon City, Shi Da Tiao is looking for trouble

Silent all night.

Li Jiayi gets up around six in the morning. This is the influence of his biological clock.

I basically wake up at this time every day.

He took a bath by the pond in the space, changed his clothes and came out.

Needless to say, he continued to exercise as usual. After the exercise, Li Jiayi looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

"Son, stop practicing and go take a shower. You are all sweaty." Ye Xin said with concern.

Although taking a cold shower is a bit cold, it’s better than being sticky all over!
"I know, Mom."

"Hurry up and wash up and come over for dinner."

"it is good."

Li Jiayi pretended to get a basin of cold water from the faucet and brought a towel into the room.

In fact, after entering the house and closing the door, Li Jiayi went directly into the space. Although the temperature in the space was lower than outside, the water in the pool was warmer than tap water.

Standing by the pond, with a thought, the water in the pond came over and poured down on my head like a shower.

I took a comfortable bath, changed my clothes, and then went out with the basin full of dirty clothes.

Breakfast had just been served on the table. I put the basin and dirty clothes in the sink and ran to the main room to eat.

"Girl, wash all the dirty clothes at home this morning." Ye Xin said to Li Jiaqi while eating.

"I know, mom. But mom, can you please stop calling me big girl? My name is Li Jiaqi now."

"Oh! Got it, girl."

Li Jiaqi looked at his mother speechlessly and took a big bite of the steamed bun.

After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi started to put on his schoolbag and water bottle, preparing to go out again!

In this family, he is the only one who doesn't have to study. He can play as much as he wants whether it is the week or the holidays.

"Son, take this egg with you." Ye Xin picked up a boiled egg and put it into Li Jiayi's schoolbag and said.

As long as he was at home, there would be a boiled egg every morning. If he didn't eat it during dinner, Ye Xin would let him take it with him.

Eggs are a good thing in this day and age! They can supplement protein, but they are not easy to make!

You need egg coupons to buy them, and egg coupons are basically not available to ordinary residents, because only pregnant women can get one pound of egg coupons every month, and they are only issued for six months.

Yes, from the time of pregnancy to the time of discovery, it was probably two or three months. You know, people of this era are not that pampered.

Especially in rural areas, some even work in the fields and give birth to their children right there.

Although the situation in the city is a little better, it is not much different. At most, when you are about to give birth, you should pay attention to it a few days in advance.

The reason why Li Jia's family could supply him with an egg every day was because Li Aimin went to the pigeon market to buy it.

This is also the reason why people often spend more than their living expenses. You know, eggs are not cheaper than meat in this day and age.

No one would eat a pound of meat for more than ten days, but a pound of eggs is possible.

The main reason is that the eggs at this time are relatively small. Even if you pick the big ones, there are only eleven or twelve eggs per pound. If you are not picky, there are only thirteen or fourteen eggs per pound.

"Thank you mom!"

"Okay, let's go out and play!"

"Ok!"

After coming out of the East Courtyard, Li Jiayi walked outside.

"Good morning, Auntie Sun."

"Good morning, Jiayi."

"Good morning, Aunt Wu." "Good morning plus one."

When I arrived at the front yard, I didn't see the old man and Shi Zhen, but I saw Shi Zhen's eldest grandson Shi Datiao.

This kid actually glared at him, which made Li Jiayi smile. This kid actually dared to glare at him, he really deserved to be punished.

However, he ignored the boy and said to Cheng Qiaoyun who was about to go out to work: "Good morning, Aunt Cheng!"

"Good morning Jiayi, are you going out?"

"Well, go out for a walk."

Cheng Qiaoyun and Li Jiayi's parents both worked in the woolen mill, but she was just an ordinary worker, a second-level sewing worker, with a salary of 38.6 yuan.

To be honest, Cheng Qiaoyun's life has not been easy. Her husband died in an accident a few years ago.

She took over her husband's job in the factory and within a few years she went from an apprentice to a second-level worker. You can imagine how hard she worked.

There was no way out. Her husband was gone, leaving her with a pair of sick parents-in-law and a pair of children.

Although my parents-in-law would get some matchboxes from the street office and make paste with them, the money they earned was not enough to cover their medicine.

In other words, she has to support five people by herself, and also ask her parents-in-law to buy medicine and see a doctor.

Fortunately, her whole family had registered residence in the city, and everyone had a quota, which also relieved some of her burden.

"Okay, go ahead!"

"it is good."

Li Jiayi wanted to ask her where Shao Jianjun was, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. At this time, all students would probably be doing their homework at home, so he didn't need it.

Shao Jianjun is Cheng Qiaoyun's son. He is twelve years old this year, two years older than him, and will be in the fifth grade when school starts.

To be honest, Cheng Qiaoyun is not only good at her job, but also good at educating children.

Compared with the historian from the opposite door, he is countless times stronger. They are both twelve years old, with only a difference of a few days.

One starts school in the fifth grade, and the other starts school in the third grade. The difference is huge.

The most important thing is that the children of the Shao family are very sensible and polite.

And Shi Datiao from the Shi family was a liar and a petty thief, not only in the courtyard but also in the school.

After leaving home, Li Jiayi walked towards Fuxingmen.

Yes, he still went to the pigeon market, but today he did not go to the pigeon market outside Deshengmen, but to the pigeon market outside Fuxingmen.

There are four major pigeon markets in the imperial capital.

And they are all outside the city: outside Deshengmen in the north, outside Jianguomen in the east, outside Fuxingmen in the west, and outside Yongdingmen in the south.

The reason why they are all outside the city is not because there is anyone in charge, but because the area outside the city is large.

There is no place in the city that big enough for a pigeon market!

Although there are four major pigeon markets, they are all different. The one with the most people and the most lively is of course the pigeon market outside Deshengmen.

The reason for this is that at this time in the imperial capital, most of the wealthy people lived in the north of the city, and they were basically the old people.

Then there is the east side of the city. Although there are not as many wealthy people living here as in the north side of the city, there are many embassies here.

In addition, there are many middle- and high-income people living here.

Next is the west side of the city, which is the Fuxingmen area. Although it cannot be compared with the north and east sides of the city, it is much better than the south side.

There is no way. Most of the areas in the south of the city were built later, and the earliest old city area only extends to Zhengyangmen.

In other words, the area between Zhengyangmen and Yongdingmen used to belong to the outer city, and was inhabited by peddlers and low-class people.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a thing as street performances.

Although everyone is equal now, is it really equal?
