Chapter 135 The fight started
Seeing that look in his eyes, Director Xu couldn't help but understand what was going on.
"What's with that look on your face, little brat?"
"Aunt Xu, aren't these cabbages left by your street office?"
There was no outsider in the warehouse, so Li Jiayi couldn't call her director, so he just called her Aunt Xu.
"What are you thinking about all day long in your little head? How could this be left by our street office? These are prepared for the families of military martyrs in our street."
Li Jiayi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "So that's how it is! I was wondering why these cabbages are better than those outside. It turns out they are prepared for the families of military martyrs! This is as it should be."
Li Jiayi has great respect for the families of military martyrs, especially those who were martyred.
"We have prepared a lot, so we definitely can't use it all. Since you kids are here, why don't you take some back from here later!"
"Ah! Aunt Xu, this won't do. If other people knew about this, it would have a bad impact on you." Li Jiayi shook his head and said.
"What are you talking about, you little brat? I didn't give it to you for free. You paid for it. After giving it to the families of military martyrs, the rest will still have to be sold. In this case, it doesn't matter who you sell it to."
Yes, the winter storage cabbage for the families of military martyrs was delivered personally by the street office.
This is normal, because many martyrs' families only have elderly people left at home, and you can't ask the elderly to come and buy cabbage in person!
Therefore, the street office will organize people to deliver the goods to your home in person. Not only that, it is free, and the quantity will be larger.
This can be considered as a kind of care for the families of military martyrs, but they deserve to be cared for, and no amount of care is too much.
"But Aunt Xu, we came here with Uncle Liao. If we're done here and he's still waiting in line over there, we won't be able to go back together."
"Are you talking about Liao Kai?" Director Xu asked.
"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded.
"Liao Kai is alone, so let him come here with you to get some."
Director Xu is very clear about Liao Kai's character. As for Liao Kai's identity, to be honest, Director Xu doesn't care that much.
To put it bluntly, the heir of the imperial chef is still a servant. Besides, his ancestors were imperial chefs, not him.
"May I?"
"What's not allowed?"
"Okay, thank you Aunt Xu."
Director Xu shook his head and said, "Why are you being so polite to me?"
"By the way, Aunt Xu, how much winter cabbage can each person buy this year?"
"Each person can buy 30 kilograms."
"Thirty pounds? This is a lot less than before!"
In previous years, each person could buy 50 kilograms, after all, it’s a winter!
Moreover, cabbage is very watery. There won’t be much water in a large head of cabbage after stir-frying.
To be honest, fifty kilograms is not enough, let alone thirty kilograms. He doesn't care, but most people will probably cry.
But this has nothing to do with him. He just closes the door and lives a good life at home.
As for others, he couldn't help so many people, but he could only help a few families in the hospital.
"Don't worry, I'll give you 50 kilograms this year." Director Xu said to him with a smile.
"Ah! Isn't this bad?"
To be honest, he really didn't want it! But Director Xu was so kind, he couldn't refuse.
Besides, everyone wants to buy more. If we miss this opportunity, we will forget what others will think, especially what Director Xu will think.
"What's wrong with it? It's not given to you for free. You paid for it."
"Okay then, thank you Aunt Xu."
"Okay, go get a cart and I'll have someone weigh it for you."
"Ok!"
Li Jiayi quickly came outside and walked up to his elder sister, second sister and Liao Kai.
Then he whispered to Liao Kai, "Uncle Liao, don't wait in line. Go get a cart and go to the backyard of the subdistrict office."
"What's wrong?" Liao Kai asked in confusion.
"They are distributing cabbages to the families of military martyrs in the back. Let's go and help."
"Uh!"
Although Liao Kai felt sorry that they had no business helping by distributing cabbages to the families of military martyrs, he still nodded when he saw Li Jiayi's expression.
"Okay, I'll go get a cart."
"Uncle Liao, you can just call a cart and take it directly to the backyard."
When distributing cabbages to the families of military martyrs, we also order a truck from outside to deliver the cabbages, and even the shipping fee is paid by the street office.
"it is good."
After Liao Kai went to call a rickshaw, Li Jiayi took his elder and second sisters and walked towards the backyard of the street office.
At this time, the backyard was already busy. Before starting, they had to deliver the cabbages for the families of military martyrs to their homes.
Today, all the people from the street office are here, and there are also quite a few people from the old neighborhood.
They are all from the same street, so when delivering the cabbages, Wobo can go by himself and no one from the street office needs to follow him.
These scoundrels are happy to give cabbages to the families of military martyrs, and they will give them a lot. In this era, there are many people with impure thoughts, but as long as they are related to the families of military martyrs, they will immediately become gentlemen.
They will take advantage of others, but they will not even take advantage of the families of military martyrs.
"Li Jiayi, where is the cart?" Director Xu asked when he saw him coming with his two sisters.
"I asked Uncle Liao to go and call them. I'm just a child and can't compete with adults."
Hearing him say this, Director Xu nodded and said, "That's true." There are not many military martyrs' families in the entire Xinjiekou Street, and the military martyrs' families mentioned here are actually all martyrs' families.
There are more than one hundred households, most of whom have either lonely elderly people or no labor force, so they need the street office to deliver the supplies.
Seeing that Uncle Liao had not come yet, Li Jiayi took his two sisters to help.
I can’t do anything else, but I can install a car!
Cabbages are also distributed to the families of military martyrs based on population, with each person receiving 50 kilograms, the same amount as in previous years.
About twenty minutes later, Liao Kai came in with a guard.
"Uncle Liao, why are you so slow?" Li Jiayi asked.
"There was a fight outside, and we couldn't get through. We had a hard time squeezing in."
"A fight broke out? Why?"
"What else could it be? Cutting in line!" Liao Kai looked as if he was gloating.
As soon as he saw his expression, Li Jiayi knew that the person who cut in line was most likely from Yard No. 7.
And it must be one of those people, otherwise he wouldn't gloat over other people's misfortune.
He knew Liao Kai's character very well.
"Uncle Liao, who is it?"
"Who else could it be? Hai Dafu from our hospital, who acts like he's worth two and a half million every day and thinks everyone has to give in to him."
Director Xu also heard the conversation between the two people. He frowned and said, "This Hai Dafu is really a hopeless case."
"Director Xu, you don't have to be angry with this kind of person."
After saying this, Li Jiayi turned around and asked, "Uncle Liao, who suffered a loss?"
"Of course I'll just say that. He beat himself three times."
"You deserve it." Director Xu said.
"I think he deserved it. I may not be able to buy cabbage because he was taken to the police station by the police for fighting." Liao Kai scratched his head and said.
"Took them all away?"
Liao Kai shook his head and said, "No, he was the only one who was taken away. The fight started because he cut in line. If he hadn't cut in line, this wouldn't have happened."
Li Jia nodded and said, "The police handled it very well."
Li Jiayi had one more thing to say. If it were in later generations, it would definitely not be handled like this.
Both parties involved in the fight will definitely be taken away. No matter what the reason was, as long as the fight occurred, everyone will be responsible.
What's the difference between this and ignoring the facts? Society has progressed, but this thing has regressed, which is really speechless.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Now that the cart is here, let's load the vegetables quickly," said Director Xu.
"Okay, Director Xu."
Li Jia's family has five people, and Liao Kai is the only one. Each person weighs 50 kilograms, which is exactly 300 kilograms.
After installation, it looks a lot smaller than other carts.
After all, when other people go to deliver food, they don’t just deliver to one household at a time, but to several households at a time.
For some martyrs' families, there are only elderly people left at home, or they are orphans and widows, and there are relatively few people.
"Okay, pay the money and go home!"
"Okay, Director Xu."
Cabbages are also divided into grades, one, two, and three. The ones that Li Jiayi and his friends bought are definitely first grade.
So the price is relatively high, but not much higher.
First grade is three cents, second grade is two and a half cents, and third grade is two cents. In other words, even first grade cabbage is only one cent more expensive than third grade cabbage.
To be honest, this price is not cheap, because the normal price is not that high.
But that was autumn.
It's not autumn now, and at this time, as the only leafy vegetable in winter, the price is really not high to be honest.
The eldest sister went over to pay the money. Her family paid 7.5 yuan, while Liao Kai's was 1.5 yuan.
At this time, Liao Kai had great admiration for Li Jiayi.
He heard that each person only had 30 kilograms of cabbage this year.
Now he not only bought 50 kilograms, but also first-class cabbage. This kind of first-class cabbage can be directly stored in the cellar when he gets home.
Unlike the second and third grade ones, you have to remove some leaves when you get home and dry them in the sun for a few days.
In this kind of weather, it is impossible to dry the clothes, so we have to think of other ways.
Soon four people came out from the backyard, but they did not walk with Wobo'er.
In this case, others will only think that Wobo is just like everyone else, giving free food to the families of military martyrs.
Although not at the same time, but close behind.
Coming out of the street office, looking at the long queues on the road, Li Jiayi said with emotion: "I don't know how long these people will have to wait."
"Add one! It takes a whole day to buy cabbage for winter storage. Many people are queuing up now, and it may be afternoon when it is their turn." Liao Kai said.
These were all his personal experiences. He had never thought that buying cabbage for winter storage could be so quick.
Others haven't started yet! They've already returned and won't even delay his normal work.
"Hey, plus one, it's already started?"
As soon as I returned to the yard, I met Wu Laowai's wife Han Li.
There are six people in their family, two adults and four children.
