Chapter 77: School starts, tickets change
In this era, cotton was not divided as finely as it is in later generations. In this era, there were only four grades.

The best is of course extra-premium cotton, followed by first, second and third grade.

The ones used by ordinary people are basically third grade, because the first and second grades need to undergo further processing.

The supply and marketing cooperatives only sell two kinds of cotton, one is special grade cotton, and the other is ordinary cotton. In fact, ordinary cotton is third grade cotton.

There is too little special-grade cotton, with only about 200,000 acres planted in the new province. This amount of cotton is not enough for many purposes, so it is taken out for use by some people.

The third-grade cotton is used in the largest amount and is closely related to the people, so it is taken out for the people to buy.

In addition to cloth coupons and cotton coupons, there are more other coupons.

There are three general bicycle tickets and five time-valid bicycle tickets. However, the validity period of these five bicycle tickets is two years, and they are still more than a year old.

There are four watch tickets. There is no universal ticket for this thing. They are all time-limited. The longest one has more than a year left, and the shortest has two or three months left.

There are five radio tickets. Like watch tickets, they have a time limit. Fortunately, the shortest one has a validity period of half a year.

Two sewing tickets, one with six months' validity and the other with ten months' validity.

Finally, of course, there are tobacco and alcohol coupons, non-staple food coupons, and grain coupons. There are so many of these things that Li Jiayi's scalp numbs.

There are too many, including Moutai, Wuliangye, Fenjiu, Xifeng, Baofeng, Jiannanchun, Dongjiu, Luzhou Laojiao, Langjiu, Yanghe Daqu, Chrysanthemum White, Lotus White and so on.

All together, there are more than 1,200 tickets, and these are just the wine tickets.

There are more than 200 Class A cigarette tickets and more than 500 Class B cigarette tickets.

Even the food coupons weigh more than 100 kilograms. With so many food coupons, the two sisters will have enough to eat.

What impressed Li Jiayi the most was the national food coupons, which weighed nearly three thousand kilograms.

Of course, it seems like a lot, but when averaged out to each of these teenagers, it is not that much.

But no matter what, Li Jiayi was still shocked. These people living in the compound were really rich.

On the way home, Li Jiayi suddenly felt that he was really poor. He didn't even have enough money to buy these things.

At this time, most people in any part of the country are worried about not having tickets.

Li Jiayi was actually worried because there were too many tickets and he had no money to buy them.

There is no other way! You have to know that except for the national food coupons and the universal bicycle coupons, these coupons have no expiration date, and the others are all time-limited!

If you don't buy it when it expires, it will become a piece of waste paper.

So at this time, he still needs to make money, but school is about to start tomorrow, so making money can only be postponed.

It was already very late when I got home. My parents had already returned from get off work and dinner was even ready.

"You little brat, why are you back so late?" Li Aimin asked with his big eyes.

"Something delayed me for a while." As he spoke, Li Jiayi took off his kettle and schoolbag.

Looking at his schoolbag, Li Aimin asked, "Didn't you bring back anything good today?"

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think good things come from the wind? You can get them just by saying so."

"Uh!"

Li Aimin stopped talking. He was just speaking casually. Of course he knew that good things don't come easily. He was just asking out of habit.

"Okay, let's eat." Mom came in with a bowl of rice porridge and said.

Today's meal was very simple. I just steamed a few steamed buns made of 200 grams of flour and cooked some rice porridge.

Mainly because of the pig head, pig ear shreds and pig liver that Li Jiayi brought back at noon.

When Li Aimin heard that it was time to eat, he immediately ran over and got his half bottle of Erguotou.

There are delicious dishes today! How can I not drink a few cups? If I do, it will be too unfair to his stomach.

Soon the family finished their meal, but washed and went to bed. There was no other way, he would be a junior high school student tomorrow, and he had to go early to leave a good impression on the teacher.

Of course, this was said by Li Aimin. To be honest, Li Jiayi doesn't care about this.

He didn't believe that going early would leave a good impression on the teacher. Maybe it would be a bad impression!

But he still obediently went back to his room and went to sleep. Lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep at all because he had never gone to bed so early.

In this case, Li Jiayi could only enter the space and get busy in it.

First, catch some of the fish that weigh five or six kilograms and put them into a static space.

Then come the fruits and dried fruits, collect the ripe ones.

Then he killed pigs, chickens, and even a cow. Yes, he wanted the cowhide.

And it was just one cattle that was slaughtered. It has no impact on the herd. You know, there are more than 40 cattle in the herd now, so what's the problem with one less cattle?

After cleaning the space, it was almost nine o'clock and he went to bed directly.

Silent all night.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to practice Taizu Changquan.

Then I took a shower, changed clothes, and came out of the space. As soon as I came out, I heard my dad yelling in the yard.

Of course, he and his two sisters were told to get up quickly. Li Jiayi shook his head helplessly and came out of the house with his toiletries.

"Dad, could you please stop making such a fuss? It's not our first day of school."

"You little brat, I'm just afraid that you'll be late!" Li Aimin glared at Li Jiayi and said.

"Come on! Look at the people in the school yard. Who else got up besides us?"

"Uh!" Li Aimin was stunned for a moment and said, "Others are others, and you are you. This is different."

"Okay! As long as you're happy." He really didn't want to say more.

After washing up, it’s time to eat.

Just after finishing the meal, I heard Li Aimin shouting, "Hurry up, put on your schoolbag, grab your water bottle, and go to school."

"Dad, isn't it too early to go now?" Li Jiaqi said, looking at the sky outside.

"What's so early? It's not early anymore. If we go at this time, we will definitely be at the front of the line."

Li Jiaqi was speechless. They were not going to buy cabbage for winter storage, so why was they queuing at the front?

Li Jiayi had already packed his things by this time, leaving his schoolbag and water bottle intact.

"Let's go, big sister. It's better to go early."

"Ok."

Then Li Jiayi turned around and said, "Second sister, you will go to school alone from now on. Big sister and I will leave first."

"Who said I was alone? There are so many people in our school going to elementary school, how could I be the only one?"

"Okay! Then you go with everyone!"

Li Jialin went to Xinjiekou Primary School, while Li Jiayi and Li Jiaqi went to Xinjiekou Middle School.

Although the names sound similar, these two schools have nothing to do with each other. If there is any connection, it is that they both belong to the Xinjiekou Sub-district Office.

Not only that, they are not even in the same direction. Xinjiekou Primary School is to the northwest of their home, while the middle school is to the south.
