Chapter 44 Grandpa's helplessness, a little help
Otherwise, you have to eat sparingly, not to mention two meals, you may even eat for several days. In this era of food and clothing shortages, it is good enough to have food to eat, and you still want to eat more meat.
After eating and drinking, Li Jia began to wrap up the remaining pig head meat and put it into the static space first.
Wait until you get home to take this out. It's so hot today, if you take it out now, it will probably be damaged by the time you get home.
After drinking a large enamel jar of spiritual spring water, he went into the house and took a nap for a while.
When he woke up, it was almost time to go back.
After coming out of the space, Li Jiayi took a detour and came to the west end of the commune.
Some people have returned, but not all of them. However, those who came to the commune to sell cattle have all returned.
Not only that, they also sold all the cattle they moved here, and seeing how happy they looked, you could tell that they must have gotten a good price.
Today, three people came to sell cows. I guess they did it on purpose. Also, if all the cows in the village were brought here to sell at once, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
An hour later, everyone came back and the ox carts headed towards the village.
Another two hours passed and the group returned to the village. Again, Sixth Grandpa did not take his money.
Not only that, Sixth Grandpa also told him that he would not have to pay for riding the ox cart in the future. This was what the team leader said.
As for the money he spent on the ox cart ride, the brigade would reimburse him.
This made him speechless. It wasn't just a matter of money. Was it really that serious? He couldn't afford to pay a few cents.
But he also knew that it was not about the amount of money, but about the attitude of the village.
How many times a year can he come? Five cents a time, even if he comes twenty times, it's only a dollar.
When he was almost at his grandmother's house, Li Jiayi took out the pig's head from the space, and also took out two pig's trotters.
"Grandma, I'm back." Li Jiayi shouted as soon as he reached the gate.
"You little brat, you didn't even tell me you were going to the commune. If someone hadn't seen you riding a bullock cart to the commune, I don't know how I would have found you."
"Uh!" Li Jiayi scratched his head. He really forgot about this.
"Okay, have you had lunch yet?"
"I've eaten, grandma, and I also bought some good things." After saying that, he patted his schoolbag.
"What good stuff?" Grandpa came out of the house at this time and happened to hear him say this, so he asked casually.
"Grandpa, look." Li Jiayi took out two oil paper bags, one big and one small.
The big one of course contains pig's head, and the small one contains pig's trotters.
Li Jiayi placed two oil paper packages on the small eight-immortals table in the yard and opened them directly.
"Pig head, this is pig's trotter." Grandpa looked at him in surprise and said.
"Ok!"
Both grandpa and grandma swallowed their saliva, mainly because the food smelled so good.
Grandma came over immediately, wrapped the oil paper again, and then walked into the house with it.
As he walked, he said, "We'll eat this tonight, and call the eldest brother's family over as well."
If it was less, grandma would definitely keep it for Li Jiayi, but with so much, that’s a different story.
"Okay." Grandpa nodded and asked, "Can you leave me a pig's trotter? I'll have some wine later."
"Why should I keep it? Even if I do, I'll keep it for my eldest grandson. Isn't this enough for you to drink?"
Grandpa is helpless! Because grandma said so, it means it's not possible.
Li Jiayi rummaged in his schoolbag again, and another small paper bag appeared in front of his grandfather.
Turning around to see that grandma had already entered the house, Li Jiayi whispered, "Grandpa, I left one for you."
In fact, it was not left there, but was just taken out from the space.
"My eldest grandson is the best." After saying that, the grandfather picked up the oil paper bag and went to the kitchen.
I guess he was looking for a place to put the pig's trotters. Grandpa is certainly not a greedy person, mainly because he brought back too much.
"Grandma, I'll go call uncle and aunt." Li Jiayi shouted into the house.
"Okay, go ahead! Come back soon."
"understood."
When going to his uncle's house, Li Jiayi didn't need to carry his schoolbag and water bottle. He could just take them down and run to the village.
A few minutes later, he arrived at his uncle's house. The door was open, so he walked straight in.
The old lady was picking vegetables in the yard. She was sure he was coming, so she quickly put the vegetables down and asked, "Jia Yi, why are you here? Sit down quickly."
"Auntie, where is my uncle?"
"Your uncle went to the captain's house to discuss transporting grain back in the evening."
"That's it!"
"What's the matter? Is there something you want to do here?" the old lady asked.
"My grandma asked you and uncle to have dinner there tonight, so I came to call you."
"Okay, I got it. I'll tell your uncle when he comes back."
"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded and asked, "By the way, Auntie, where are my brother and the others?"
"Who knows where they've gone to play again? Don't worry about them. They won't get lost anyway."
Yes, Lijia Village is far away from any other villages, and there is no village or shop nearby. As long as you don't go into the mountains, there will be no danger.
"Then I will go back first, Auntie. When uncle and my brother come back, we can go directly there."
"Okay, I know."
When Li Jiayi returned home, his grandmother was kneading dough in the kitchen. The dough she was kneading was not white flour, but corn flour.
There are more people at night, so we must make more pancakes, otherwise there will not be enough to eat.
Not long after Li Jiayi got home, his aunt came over with his cousin.
I didn’t see my uncle and my eldest and second cousins. It seems they haven’t come back yet.
As for why the old lady came so early, of course she came to help. With so many people eating, how could she let the old lady do it alone.
As for my uncle and two cousins, there is no need to worry about them. They will come over naturally when they get home and see that I haven't cooked.
"Brother Jiayi." The cousin let go of her mother and ran to Li Jiayi.
"Hmm!" He rubbed her head, then took the schoolbag and took out a few candies from it.
"Here, I'll give it to you, but you can't eat it all at once. Too much candy is not good for you."
"Brother Jiayi, sugar is so delicious! Why is it bad to eat too much?" Li Jiafen asked in confusion.
In her opinion, sugar is the most delicious thing besides meat.
"Because eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay, and tooth decay will eat away your teeth. If you eat too much sugar, you will have no teeth in the future."
"Ah!" Li Jiafen shouted, quickly covered her mouth and said, "Brother Jiayi, I won't eat candy anymore."
Li Jiayi rubbed her head helplessly and said, "You can still eat sugar, but don't eat too much. Eating too much will cause worms. Eating less is fine."
"Is that so? I understand, brother Jiayi. I will only eat one a day from now on."
"That's right, you must not eat too much."
This is not considered as coaxing a child. Eating too much sugar is really not good for you.
