Chapter 40 How did you know all this?
At this time, my stomach felt very uncomfortable and I couldn’t eat anything, nor did I want to eat.

"Grandma, I'm not hungry."

"OK then!"

At this time, grandma picked up the can of White Rabbit milk candy, opened it and grabbed out a few handfuls.

He handed the jar to the old lady and said, "Take this back and feed it to the children."

"Mom, this won't work. This is what Jiayi brought for you and Dad. You can keep it and eat it!"

"Just take it if I tell you to. Your father and I are both this age, and we have eaten everything."

Hearing the old lady say this, the aunt had no choice but to take it.

"Dad, this cigarette..." As the uncle spoke, his hand had already reached out.

But soon Li Laogen hit his hand with his pipe and said, "Get lost."

After saying that, he put down the pipe, opened the cigarette box, took out two packs of cigarettes, threw them to the uncle and said, "Smoke sparingly."

"Thank you dad."

The cigarettes my uncle usually smokes are Qianjin cigarettes which cost two cents a pack. One pack of Daqianmen cigarettes can buy more than one pack of Qianjin cigarettes.

"Grandson, pack these candies up for you." Grandma handed the candies to Li Jiayi and said.

"Grandma, please keep this for your sweet tooth. I don't like candy."

Li Jiayi was definitely not being perfunctory; he really didn't like it, even if it was White Rabbit Milk Candy.

But he also had something he liked to eat, and that was meat. In later generations, he almost couldn't live without meat.

"Kid, just pretend when I tell you to." After saying that, grandma took Li Jiayi's schoolbag and put the things in.

"Mom, I want to eat candy." Li Jiafen raised her head and said to her mother.

"Jiafen! We won't eat it now. Mom will save it for you to eat during the New Year."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned when he heard the old lady's words.

He quickly picked up his schoolbag, took out a few candies from it and said, "Jiafen, come here. I'll give you some candy."

Li Jiafen's eyes lit up and she ran over quickly.

This time grandma didn't say anything. She wouldn't interfere in what happened between the children.

"Thank you, Brother Jiayi."

"Okay, go eat!" Li Jia handed her a handful of candy, then rubbed her head and said.

The two cousins ​​were drooling at this time! Their eyes were fixed on the candy in Li Jiafen's hand.

They would not ask Li Jiayi for food, not because they did not want it, but because Li Jiayi was the younger brother, and it did not make sense for an older brother to ask for food from his younger brother.

"Brother, I don't like eating candy, so I'll give you some!" Li Jiayi took out a few more pieces and handed them over.

"This……"

The two cousins ​​looked at their grandparents, not knowing whether they should answer the call.

"Okay, take it since it's given by your brother, but you must remember how good he is to you," said grandma to the two cousins.

"I understand, grandma." The two brothers nodded quickly.

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa, I just came back from Sixth Grandpa's ox cart and gave him money, but he said he didn't want anything. What's going on?"

Hearing Li Jiayi's question, the grandparents looked at each other, and then the grandfather said, "Jiayi! There is something I forgot to tell you. I told the villagers about the grain harvest." "Ah! Grandpa, what are you doing..."

"Jiayi! You don't come back often, so you're not familiar with the villagers, but I'm different! The entire Li Village is descended from the same ancestor, and many of them are still within the fifth degree of mourning with you. Even those who live farther away are still within the fifth degree of mourning with me."

Li Laogen said this, almost like telling Li Jiayi, you don’t come back often and you have no feelings for the villagers, but I’m different!

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I didn't think it through. But if you tell the villagers, how can they collect the food?"

"I have told the team leader about this. You also call him uncle. He is the oldest of your father's generation. Now the team leader has organized some people to collect the food outside and some to bring it back at night."

"Is that so?" Li Jia nodded and said, "How can we collect so much food if that's the case?"

"Don't worry, there's no problem at all. Besides, we're not collecting in the nearby villages, but going somewhere else."

"elsewhere?"

"Yes, we harvest in other communes. There are more plains and more food there. At least it's better than here."

"That's very good."

In fact, Li Jiayi was also relieved. He was worried that it would be bad if too many people knew about it, so he didn't plan to tell anyone.

But the people of Lijia Village all have the same ancestors! Now the team leader is organizing people to collect and transport grain, so there will be no problem.

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa, take this money. Since everyone in the village is collecting grain, you can collect more."

Originally, Li Jiayi planned to give his grandfather another 500 yuan so that his grandfather could use it to collect grain, but now he changed his mind and gave him 1,000 yuan directly.

"So much money?" Li Laogen asked in surprise, looking at the bundle of money.

One note is ten yuan, and a bundle of one hundred notes is exactly one thousand yuan.

"Grandpa, please use this money first. Tell me if it's not enough."

Li Jiayi didn't want to say anything, and Li Laogen didn't ask any more questions, and the same went for Li Aiguo.

They knew that this money was definitely not what Li Jiayi asked for from his family. Even if Li Aimin and Ye Xin doted on Li Jiayi, they would never give him so much money.

Li Laogen knew that his eldest grandson had secrets and was a capable person. So he couldn't ask him. Not only that, he had to keep the secret to himself.

"My eldest grandson! Grandpa knows that you are capable and may not care about this, but Grandpa still makes a promise to you. In the future, Grandpa's house and land will all be left to you."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about! You and grandma are still so young, you can live at least another hundred years."

"You little brat, are you scolding your grandpa? If I live another hundred years, I will become an immortal."

"No, no, that's definitely not what I meant." Li Jiayi waved his hands quickly.

"Okay, I was just kidding you, but don't worry, everything Grandpa said today is true. I'll go find the captain later and register the house and land in your name."

"No, Grandpa. If you register, what if the city doesn't allow me to stay and I'm sent to the countryside? What should I do?"

Of course what Li Jiayi said was nonsense. He had a city hukou, so even if the house and land were registered under his name, there would be no problem as long as his hukou was not moved here.

"Is that so? If that's the case, then don't register for now. We'll talk about it later."

Seeing that his grandfather had given up the idea, Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason was that this place was of no use to him!
"By the way, Jiayi, the village may not eat from the same pot anymore."

"Not eating from the same pot? What's going on?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.

"Before you came, the village held a meeting and decided to continue to do what needed to be done, but it was only to deal with inspections from above."
