Chapter 124 Mom's Wish

"Do you mean to unload the things here?" Wobo looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and asked.

"Yes, someone will come to take it away soon." Li Jia nodded.

"Is that so? Fine then."

Unloading is quick and you don’t have to walk, just put it on the ground, so it’s done quickly.

Although they didn't walk far, Li Jiayi still gave Wobo fifty cents as agreed upon.

To be honest, it's not easy to be a nerd, and doing this is not a job at all. If you have a job, you can't do this.

The job of serving others is never easy. You are exposed to wind and rain outside every day. Sometimes you can't even find a few people to serve you even if you go out for a whole day.

You know, it's very cheap to recruit people. You can run a long way for only one cent.

Unless it’s raining or snowing, the price might be higher, but that’s raining and snowing.

It means that all the money earned is hard-earned.

Li Jiayi is not a good person, but he will never bother with poor people.

After Wobo'er left, Li Jiayi sent Ah Sheng to the entrance of the alley and put all the things into the space.

At this time, Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and said that he would never buy so many things again next time.

Even if I have to run a few more times.

Of course, he won’t come to this place to buy next time.

There are so many supply and marketing cooperatives in the capital, why do you have to go to just one place?

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley and saw that there was no one there, Li Jiayi put Asheng and the others into the space, and then ran home.

He had no intention of taking the back door this time, but he had no choice because he wanted to bring some things home.

If it was something else, it would be fine, but what I brought today must be seen by others.

Yes, he was going to take some lard home. This thing was not like other things. If it was pig's head or something, he could take it home and eat it directly.

But this thing needs to be refined, and then the whole No. 7 Courtyard will know about it.

In that case, it would be better to take it back openly.

Otherwise, there will definitely be some villains who will report us, and that would be really disgusting.

Before returning to the gate of the courtyard, Li Jiayi took out a large piece of pork fat, weighing about ten pounds.

There was also a large piece of pork head, but he did not take it out but put it in his schoolbag.

Apart from these, I didn't bring anything else because I didn't need them. There's no difference between putting them in the space and taking them out.

Carrying a large piece of lard, Li Jiayi went straight back to the yard.

Today is Sunday. Although it is a bit cold, everyone is sitting in the yard.

Although it was cold, the sun was out! There were no tall buildings nearby to block the sun, so it was very comfortable to sit in the yard and bask in the sun.

"Jiayi is back?" As soon as he entered the gate, he ran into Cheng Qiaoyun.

"Yes, Aunt Cheng, you are washing clothes!"

"Well! Today is a day off, so just take out what needs to be washed and wash it."

In fact, as soon as Li Jiayi came in, Cheng Qiaoyun saw the pork fat in his hand.

But she said nothing. Her family is not short of oil at the moment. When pork was distributed some time ago, Li Jiayi gave all the pork fat to their families.

Not to mention that there is no shortage of oil, even if there is, she won’t say anything because she is not someone who would take advantage of others.

"Auntie Cheng, please go ahead and I'll go home first."

"Well! Go back quickly!"

Ying Jiasheng was still there when he came in just now. Just when he was talking to Cheng Qiaoyun, Ying Jiasheng went back to the house. He didn't want to see Li Jiayi.

His wife and daughter-in-law were there, but they didn't speak to Li Jiayi.

Then Li Jiayi would ignore them even less.

He also saw Shi Shangfei, who did not return to the house, but also ignored Li Jiayi.

After talking to a few other people living in the front yard, he walked towards the middle yard.

"Hello, Aunt Xu."

"Hello, Uncle Wang."

"Add one."

"Sure, Xiao Jiayi, you brought back such a big piece of pork fat." Uncle Wang said with a smile.

This Mr. Wang’s name is Wang Debiao. If this happened in later generations, I guess the name “Biao” would definitely be changed to “Biao”.

Uncle Wang lives in the east wing of the central courtyard. All three rooms belong to his family, mainly because he has a large family.

Including his parents, wife and children, there are more than ten people in total, making them the largest family in Courtyard No. 7.

"I was just visiting the Pigeon Market when I saw someone selling this, so I bought it." Li Jiayi said, scratching his head.

"You are so lucky! I have been there several times and never met one."

"Uncle Wang, this is different. If you go, you will probably only stay for a while and then leave. I have been here since this morning."

"Uh! This..."

Wang Debiao thought about it and it was true. When he went to the Pigeon Market to buy things, he never stayed there for more than an hour.

As for Li Jiayi, he goes there in the morning and stays there until three or four in the afternoon. He is sure to find something good!

After all, people who go to the Pigeon Market to sell things don’t have to go in the morning, they can go at any time of the day.

And there is no need to worry about not being able to sell good things, so you can go there anytime.

"Add one! Did you buy this lard at the pigeon market near Jianguomen?" Wang Debiao asked. "No, Uncle Wang, I went to Jianguomen today and found it there."

"All right!"

Wang Debiao was also helpless! There were four large pigeon markets in the capital, and who knew where the sellers would go?
If you want to buy good things, it can be said that it all depends on luck, and Li Jiayi is one of the luckier people.

After chatting for a few more words, Li Jiayi walked towards home. Just as he passed through the moon gate leading to the backyard through the middle courtyard, he met Liao Kai.

"I say you are really good, are you going to Pigeon City again?" Liao Kai asked.

"Uncle Liao, is there any need to ask? Just look at this and you will know." Li Jiayi picked up the pork fat and said.

In fact, Liao Kai asked him if he had been to Pigeon City because he saw the pork fat.

"You are really good, kid."

"By the way, Uncle Liao, what are you doing?" Li Jiayi asked when he saw Liao Kai holding a nail and a hammer in his hands.

"I'm planning to build a coal shed in this corner!" Liao Kai said, pointing to the corner between his house and the wall.

"Uncle Liao, I think it would be better for you to keep the coal inside the house."

Although Li Jiayi did not say it explicitly, Liao Kai understood what he meant after thinking about it.

He nodded and said, "You're right, I'd better put it in the house!"

The corner that Liao Kai was talking about is actually between his house and the wall of the east wing.

You can see this from COSCO SHIPPING here, it can be said that there is no insurance at all.

It’s okay now, but when more coal is needed in winter, it will not be the same anymore.

"You decide. I'll go home first."

"Go back! By the way, next time you buy lard, don't forget to bring some for me."

"no problem."

If it was someone else, he would definitely not agree, but it was different if this person was Liao Kai.

After returning to the East Courtyard, Li Jiayi immediately took out two packs of peach cakes, a box of Golden Rooster biscuits, and a can of White Rabbit milk candy from the space.

Of course, these are prepared for my sister. As for the glutinous rice noodles, we will talk about that later.

Anyway, it's in the space and can be taken out at any time.

There's no way. It's not that I don't want to take it out, but I really can't take it out. I brought back too many things this time.

"Mom, I'm back." Li Jiayi shouted as he reached the door of the main room.

"You little rascal, you ran away for another day." Mom's voice came from the house.

The second sister is always the first one to run out, because she knows very well that whenever her younger brother goes out, he will definitely bring back some delicious food.

"Brother, you're back? Did you bring anything delicious?" The second sister ran over and asked.

"Here you go." Li handed over a handful of Golden Rooster biscuits, White Rabbit milk candies and peach cakes.

It just so happens that he doesn’t have to take it himself. Even if he brings it into the house, it will still be taken away by his second sister.

"Wow, there are so many delicious foods, and there are even Golden Rooster Biscuits." The second sister said in surprise.

She knew about Golden Rooster Biscuits because she had seen her classmates eat them, but they were too expensive.

Although our family sometimes has enough food coupons, we are reluctant to buy more. The most my mother can buy us is peach cakes.

"Okay, take it in and share it with my elder sister."

"I see. Don't you want to eat?" asked the second sister.

"Don't worry about me, I'll have whatever I want to eat." Li Jiayi shrugged.

"All right!"

At this time, the old man came out of the house, looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Son! This is a bit wrong. How can you only prepare for your elder sister and second sister, but not prepare something for dad?"

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "Then don't eat the pig head in my schoolbag."

"Pork head?" Li Aimin's eyes lit up and he quickly came over and said, "Come, let Dad see how much you bought."

Unfortunately, Li Jiayi did not let him reach into the schoolbag. He directly handed over the pig fat in his hand and said, "Take this."

"Pig fat." Li Aimin's eyes lit up again.

This is also a good thing! For my family, this is much better than pig head meat.

If we refine this large piece of pork fat into oil, it will be enough for the family to eat for several months, and we will also have oil residue to eat.

"Where is the pork fat?" Mom also came out of the house.

In fact, Ye Xin had wanted a piece of pork fat for a long time. Last time when the meat was distributed in the courtyard, she wanted a piece.

But her son distributed the money to several poor families in the compound, so she couldn't say anything.

But she still wanted pork fat very much, and even wanted to ask her son if he could get it.

But I didn’t want to cause trouble for my son, so I didn’t say anything. I didn’t expect that my son would buy it himself today.

"Here." Li Aimin handed the pig fat to Ye Xin and said, "This piece is about ten pounds! It can be used to make a lot of oil."

"Great! With this piece of pork fat, we won't be short of oil during the New Year."

At this time, Li Aimin said, "In this case, can we have some oil residue to make dumplings for dinner?"

"You stay away. Didn't your son buy some pig's head? Why would you eat dumplings when you have pig's head to eat in the evening?"

"Uh, this..."

"Okay, Dad! We bought a lot of pork heads today, so you can eat as much as you want. As for the oil residue, I think it's better to make dumplings."

"Okay! It's good to have pig head meat. You can have a couple of drinks in the evening. Oh, son, do you have any good wine?"
