Chapter 107 The eldest grandson is capable
Chapter 107 The eldest grandson is capable
There is no way, because what Li Jiayi said has now become a reality. Although he did not say why the house should be rebuilt, everyone still built it.
"By the way, Grandpa, I see that the people in the village don't seem to eat from a big pot. What's going on?"
"Originally the commune was going to send a working group, but our village is too far away and the commune didn't have enough manpower, so they didn't send anyone over."
Lijia Village is indeed far away from the commune, but it is impossible that no one would come here because of this.
The main reason is probably that Lijia Village is too poor and many people are unwilling to come.
In addition, the working group also has families, and many of them stay in the village in the morning and go home in the evening.
But if we go to Lijia Village, this will not work and it is impossible to achieve.
You should know that it takes more than two hours to get here from the commune by ox cart, and the ox cart only returns to the village from the commune in the afternoon.
This is probably why no one wants to come here! But it's a good thing, then the village will be much more comfortable.
And Lijia Village is not poor now. Although they don’t have money, they have food and drink. How can they be considered poor?
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, my parents came to my grandfather's house carrying large and small bags.
When Li Aimin saw Li Jiayi sitting in the yard drinking tea with Li Laogen, he became a little uneasy.
You have to know that they went out first, and Li Jiayi didn't say he would come over, but now his son is right in front of him, there is no way this can be wrong!
"Son, when did you come?" Li Aimin asked.
Li Jiayi smiled and said, "I only arrived two hours earlier than you."
"Arrived two hours earlier than us? How is that possible? We took the first bus."
Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "I didn't say I came from the same path as you guys."
"What do you mean?"
"I made an appointment with someone in advance to go to Mentougou to pick up some dogs, so I came from Mentougou."
"Dog? What dog?"
"That's not it." Li Jiayi pointed at Asheng and the others.
"Hiss! Such a big dog." Li Aimin said in surprise.
"Son, why do you want to get a few dogs?" Ye Xin asked with a frown.
"Keep it to look after the house!"
"Guarding the house? How much food does such a big dog need to eat in a day? And I keep it to guard the house."
"Uh!"
Li Jiayi didn't think about this, because he had always kept the dog in the space and didn't need to think about these things!
"Mom, don't worry about this. I'll find a way."
Although she knew that her son was capable, Ye Xin was still worried about whether he could feed the three big dogs.
But she didn't say anything else. She just wanted to raise it and see how it goes! If she couldn't raise it, she could still eat its meat.
"Come here." Li Aimin waved and shouted to Asheng and the others.
Unfortunately, Asheng and the others seemed not to have heard it and just squatted there without moving.
"Son, what are their names?" Li Aimin asked when he saw that Asheng and the others ignored him.
"Ah Sheng, Ah Cai, and Ah Quan."
"puff!"
Li Aimin, who had just put down his things and taken a sip of water, sprayed out all the water.
The grandfather sitting next to him suffered the most. Although the spray was not directed at him directly, he still got all over himself.
"What's wrong with you, you bastard?" Grandpa slapped my dad and asked.
"Dad, you don't know, we..." Li Aimin told his grandfather the names of the three uncles in the courtyard, and also told him about the conflicts between them.
After listening to Li Aimin's words, the grandfather turned his head and looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Grandson, although the name you gave the dog is very derogatory, I think it is very good."
"Ah! Dad, what are you doing..." Li Aimin was a little confused about what his father was thinking.
"What's the matter? They can only bully my grandson, but they can't let my grandson fight back! What kind of logic is this?"
"But……"
Before Li Aimin could finish, Li Laogen interrupted him and said, "No buts, I think this is a good name."
Since his father had said so, what else could Li Aimin say? He could only ask his son to change the dog's name.
Unfortunately, he was going to be disappointed, because Li Jiayi had never thought of changing the dog's name.
What's the matter? Who said that dogs can't be given such names? As for the name, it seems a bit deliberate.
This is absolutely pure coincidence. If there is any similarity, it can only be like this. If anyone is investigated, he must be severely punished.
"Ai Min, Xiao Xin, what are all these bags you are carrying?" asked the old lady.
"Mom, it's nothing. It's all from Jiayi. Some cigarettes and alcohol for Dad, as well as cotton, sesame salt, and snacks, and some cloth."
Ye Xin told the old lady what she had brought.
"Oh! My eldest grandson is still the capable one." said the old lady happily.
"Grandma, the money for the cotton has nothing to do with me, and the money for the cloth, I just paid the ticket."
"That's because my eldest grandson is capable. You can't buy a ticket even if you have money."
The old lady had also been to the commune and knew that many things required tickets, and they would not sell them to you without a ticket.
As Li Jiayi and the others were talking, Li Aimin started to take things out.
First of all, there are cigarettes, four packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, and four packs of economy cigarettes. These were not bought by Li Jiayi. I guess they were bought when Li Aimin came.
Because Li Jiayi never buys cigarettes that cost less than one cent, and these cigarettes don't require tickets, so he can buy them at any time, so why should he buy them?
When he buys cigarettes and alcohol now, he looks at the tickets. He spends those that are about to expire, and waits for those that are not yet expired.
After all, he didn't have much money on him now, and he still had a lot of things to do.
After taking out the cigarettes, it was time for wine, four bottles of Moutai, four bottles of Juhuabai, and four bottles of Xifeng.
Maybe because there was too much wine, Li Aimin didn’t buy any more, but they were all good wines!
To be honest, Li Aimin was also greedy, but he was not shameless enough to snatch the wine from his father.
Then there’s sesame salt, four whole cans, this is good stuff!
If we eat sparingly, the two of us can have enough food until the New Year. Of course, this is impossible, as we have two grandsons and a granddaughter.
There was quite a bit of cloth, a total of forty-five feet, enough for my grandparents and everyone in my uncle's family to make a new set of clothes.
It’s not that Li Jiayi can’t give more, but giving too much is not good either. This much is just right.
What made grandma happiest was not the cloth or sesame salt, but the big bag of cotton.
Cotton can be grown in rural areas, but not many people do so because they can’t even fill their stomachs, so who would want to grow anything else?
Therefore, the land is basically used to grow crops, and growing cotton is more troublesome. Now, unlike later generations, there are places to thresh cotton everywhere.
Picking cotton is not the same as fluffing cotton. This requires the use of machines. If you want to pick cotton, you have to at least go to the county town.
