Chapter 126 Winter is Really Coming
But he really won’t be able to take the exam next year. It’s not that he won’t be able to pass it, but the three-year period will begin from next year, and no one cares about this at all.

It is estimated that if Liao Kai wants to take the exam, he can only wait until the end of the three-year period.

Of course, Li Jiayi wouldn't tell him this now, he would know it when the time comes.

Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye. The weather is getting colder and colder. Well, it's almost November, so it's normal to have cold weather.

But this is hard for students like Li Jiayi who go to school. They have to get up early in the morning and run to school after breakfast.

When we arrived at school, we were all freezing like grandchildren. The main problem was that there was no heating in the school.

Even the windows are drafty, so there's not much difference between taking classes in the classroom and outside.

For example, my second sister caught a cold yesterday and took a day off today to rest at home.

In previous years, when it got this cold, it was usually around mid-November, but this year it came more than half a month earlier.

Even though it's only half a month earlier, the difference is huge. If you're not careful, you'll end up like my second sister.

However, he had no plan to wear the goose down jacket. If he wore the goose down jacket now, what would he do when it got really cold?

So he is now wearing a cotton coat and cotton pants, which his mother made for him this year.

In previous years, we would alter the cotton coats and trousers we wore to make them a little bigger, and add a little more to the sleeves if they were too short.

There is no shortage of cotton and cloth at home this year, so we remade a few pieces, even my parents did the same.

"Boom boom boom!"

I was just thinking about something! There was a knock on the door, and then the eldest sister's voice came in and asked, "Little brother, are you asleep?"

"You haven't gone to bed yet, what can I do for you, sister?" Li Jiayi asked as he went over to open the door.

"Mom made some ginger soup and asked you to drink a bowl before going to bed to prevent you from catching a cold." The eldest sister said as she stood at the door holding the ginger soup.

"Oh!" Li Jiayi took the bowl, tried it and found it was not very hot, so he drank it directly.

The eldest sister smiled and took the bowl and said, "Okay, you take a rest! I'll bring a bowl to your second sister."

Many people don’t like drinking ginger soup, especially pure ginger soup, but Li Jiayi doesn’t.

He likes it very much, which may be because he likes eating ginger. For example, the pickles they pickle contain a lot of shredded ginger.

Both the eldest and second sister would pick out the shredded ginger, but Li Jiayi liked to eat it.

It can be said that all the shredded ginger in their pickles was eaten by him.

Although the ginger soup was not very hot, Li Jiayi soon felt warm after drinking a bowl of it.

Even a little bit of sweating.

He quickly lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt and entered the space.

As soon as I arrived at the space, I started sweating immediately. There was no way around it because the temperature in the space was much higher than outside.

The main thing is that the space is like spring all year round. No matter what time it is, the temperature inside is 25 or 26 degrees.

It was such a temperature, and he had just drunk ginger soup. Most importantly, he was still wearing a cotton coat and trousers.

He quickly took off his cotton coat and trousers, and only then did he feel better. However, he still went over and took a few gulps of the spiritual spring water.

After collecting everything that needed to be collected in the space, Li Jiayi started making spicy noodles, and this time he made more.

There is no way. When the weather gets cold, many people prefer to eat spicy strips, so the amount needed is a lot more.

After making the spicy strips, Li Jiayi went to collect some royal jelly and prepared to give some to his second sister to drink tomorrow morning.

I've been coughing all day. I'm going to try royal jelly to see if it can moisten my throat.

Then Li Jiayi went to sleep.

Silent all night.

He got up the next morning and started doing boxing in the space. After doing that he drank some spiritual spring water and then came out of the space.

As soon as he came out of the space, Li Jiayi felt that today was a little colder than yesterday.

Fortunately, he came out wearing a cotton coat and cotton pants, otherwise he would have been very cold even in bed.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, holding an enamel jar filled with spiritual spring water and royal jelly.

In fact, you can also say royal jelly. After all, in terms of size, even the royal bee may not be as big as them.

When he came downstairs, Li Jiayi went over and knocked on the door.

"Sister, are you up?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Woke up."

Hearing what his elder sister was saying, Li Jiayi pushed the door open and went in.

The eldest sister got up, but the second sister was still lying in the quilt, wrapping herself tightly.

"Little brother, what are you doing..."

"I prepared this special medicine for my second sister. She will be fine after drinking it."

"What kind of special medicine is so effective?" the eldest sister asked in surprise.

"You'll know if you let your second sister drink it." Li Jiayi smiled and said nothing else.

Of course, although he used spiritual spring water, it was not cold water, but hot water that had been heated in space.

Otherwise, with her cold body, drinking a glass of cold water would probably make her condition worse, even if it was spiritual spring water.

"Come on Jialin, see if my special medicine works." After saying that, the eldest sister took the enamel pot and went to help the second sister.

"Can it really be cured?" The second sister looked up at Li Jiayi and asked.

"Don't worry! It won't be any worse than it is now."

Hearing him say this, Li Jialin thought about it and it was true. This is hot water. Even if it can't cure the disease, it won't make it worse.

After just one sip, Li Jialin's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the jar and finished it in a few gulps. "It's so sweet! And it tastes so good," Li Jialin said.

Are you kidding? This is royal jelly! And it’s made from spiritual spring water. It would be strange if it didn’t taste good.

"Hey, Jialin, are you really okay?" Li Jiaqi asked puzzledly.

"Are you ready?" Li Jialin asked doubtfully.

Li Jiaqi looked at her and said, "You don't even cough anymore."

You know, even when she was asleep, Li Jialin was always coughing, but after drinking this jar of water, she didn't cough at all.

"It's really better! Brother, what kind of medicine is this?" Li Jialin asked.

"What kind of medicine is that? It's just some royal jelly added."

Li Jiayi didn't say anything about royal jelly, and it was estimated that the eldest and second sisters didn't know what it was.

"Royal jelly? Royal jelly can cure colds?" Li Jialin looked at him puzzledly and asked.

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "I don't know if it can cure colds, but I know it moisturizes the throat. Look, you're not coughing anymore."

"that's true!"

After that, he looked at Li Jiayi in confusion and asked, "But I don't feel that cold anymore, and I'm sweating. What's going on?"

"Maybe it's because you drank hot water! Didn't dad say that hot water can cure all diseases?"

Li Jialin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're the only one who believes this."

"I don't believe it! But I know that for things like fever and colds, drinking more hot water is the right thing to do."

"That's true."

Anyway, let's talk about it! Li Jialin stopped coughing, and I don't know if her cold has healed.

"Okay, get up quickly! It's time to eat." Li Jiayi said and walked outside.

When he came outside, his mother had already prepared the meal and Li Jiayi had already finished washing up.

So he just sat down and said, "Mom, I think it's going to snow today."

"No way! The weather forecast didn't say there would be snow!"

They have a radio at home, and my mother listens to the weather forecast every day.

"Who knows if the weather forecast is accurate? Anyway, I think it's going to snow."

In fact, Li Jiayi didn’t know when the snow started falling in 1958, he just knew that it snowed heavily.

Especially in the imperial capital, many houses collapsed and many people were injured.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t tell anyone in advance, which was also the most helpless thing for him.

Let’s not talk about whether it can be told to others. Even if it can be told, someone has to believe it. I estimate that 99% of people will not believe it.

"No way! I think the weather forecast is pretty accurate!"

My mother is really like that. Not to mention this era, even in the future, no one would dare to say that the weather forecast is accurate.

The weather is something that changes at any time and no one can predict it for sure. In any case, in later generations, Li Jiayi encountered inaccurate weather forecasts many times.

"Okay, forget about the weather forecast and get ready for dinner."

"Mom, I've finished washing up and am waiting for dinner!" Li Jiayi stretched out his hand for his mother to see.

"Okay, then you eat first."

"No, let's wait for my dad and my older sisters to come over!"

Although there are not so many rules in their family, Li Jiayi cannot start eating without waiting for his parents to sit down.

"Son, it's okay, you eat first!" Dad came out of the house and said.

"No, I'm not that hungry yet, let's eat together!"

Soon, the eldest sister and the second sister came out of the room. They must have been washing up, otherwise the eldest sister would have come out long ago.

At this time, my father also came in from outside, holding some firewood in his hands.

"Dad, why are you carrying firewood?" Li Jiayi asked.

"It's too cold today. I plan to light the fireplace when I come back in the afternoon." Dad pointed to the fireplace in the main room and said.

This fireplace is placed in the main room, but it only warms the living room and is of no use to the other rooms.

However, Li Jiayi was just about to install the stove, and if that didn't work, he would light the stove.

The chimneys have been arranged, and now all that’s left is to install the stove, but if that happens, we’ll really be entering winter.

"Dad, there's no point in burning the fireplace now, and we're not on holiday. Except for dinner time, few people stay in the living room at home."

"Huh!" After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin thought about it and realized it was true.

In fact, the reason why Li Jiayi installed this fireplace was that he planned to use it when the family stayed in the space after the holidays.

As for the stove in the room, it is lit when going to bed, so it will be warmer at night.

There is no need to burn a fireplace now, it is even useless.

People go to work or school during the day, and there is no one in the living room. Why burn it?

Besides, the fireplace cannot burn coal, only firewood. If no one is there, it will go out in less than an hour.

After all, firewood cannot burn for several hours like coal. If you put a little more, it can burn all night.

After dinner, Li Jiayi and his eldest sister went to school, while his second sister stayed at home.

She wanted to wait until she was completely recovered from her cold before going to school, and the teacher was happy for her because she was also afraid that the cold would be transmitted to other students.
