Chapter 141: Bad old man

Even if there is a fireplace in the living room, it is still not normally hot and the house feels very dry.

Although Li Jiayi would put two basins of water in the room every day, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Of course, he was the only one who felt this way. Neither his parents nor his elder and second sisters had this feeling.

It's still comfortable in the space! Because the temperature in the space is normal, it feels much more comfortable than in spring.

It’s still the same old routine, collect what should be collected first, and then slaughter some pigs, cattle, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks and geese.

Then I went into the bedroom to sleep.

Silent all night.

Li Jiayi woke up at around five in the morning. There was nothing he could do. He went to bed early at night, so of course he had to get up early in the morning.

Then I practiced boxing in the courtyard. After eight times, I stopped, drank some spiritual spring water, and then took a bath.

I have to take a shower! I'm sweating all over.

After changing his clothes, Li Jiayi came out of the space, still in bed.

But it wasn’t very cold. Although there was no heat in the quilt, I had just sweated and taken a shower, so I didn’t feel cold.

When he got up from the bed, he was not wearing any clothes, just an autumn shirt and autumn pants, and of course, a pair of thin pants.

If I don’t go out, I will wear this at home. If I go out, I will wear a down jacket and a leather jacket.

Li Jiayi is going out today, but not now. He wants to go out after his parents go to work.

It’s not that his parents don’t let him go out, but mainly because they go to work after breakfast and go out earlier than he does.

When I came to the living room, I saw only my dad sitting there. Needless to say, my mom and eldest sister were cooking in the kitchen.

As for my second sister, I guess she hasn't gotten up yet. She won't get up until dinner time.

But no one cared about her. She didn't have to go to school anyway, so it didn't matter whether she got up or not. It didn't matter if she ate late, as long as she wasn't hungry.

"Good morning dad."

"Morning, son."

"Why don't you sleep more?"

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "I can't sleep. This holiday is a bit long. I'm almost sleepless."

"Normal. If we were on vacation for such a long time, it would probably be the same."

"By the way, son, what did your school say? Will there be no classes before the New Year?"

You have to know that from the start of school in September to the end of the holiday, the total period of time was less than two months!

Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. For example, in our class, one-third of the people only have a thin cotton jacket, and the other one-third have cotton coats and trousers, but they are not thick. The weather is too cold this year, so we can't stay in the class at all."

"Ugh!"

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin sighed and said, "There is nothing we can do. Not only is fabric in short supply, but cotton is also in short supply. It's already good enough to have cotton clothes to wear."

Yes! Not to mention others, even for their family, if it weren’t for the goose down and leather jackets that Li Jiayi brought back, the cotton coats and trousers they wore wouldn’t be very thick.

This wasn’t a problem in previous years, but this year I really can’t stand it. I’m probably just like other students, either freezing or staying at home.

"Forget it, if you don't want to go, then don't go. But you can't fall behind in your studies. I'm not worried about you, but your two sisters..."

"Dad, don't worry about this. My elder sister and second sister have already finished the courses for this grade, and even the courses for the higher grades."

"That's good, as long as it doesn't delay you. As for classes, it doesn't matter whether you go to class or not."

"Ok!"

Breakfast was ready soon and my mother and elder sister brought it in.

As soon as I entered the house, my mother said, "Wake up Jialin. It's so late and she's still sleeping in."

Li Jiayi hurried to the door, knocked on it and shouted, "Second sister, get up and eat. If you don't get up, mom will come and call you herself."

"Get up." Li Jialin replied from inside the room.

She wasn't afraid of other people, but she was afraid of her mother! If her mother really came to call her, she would be in trouble.

Breakfast is simple, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of hot and sour cabbage, and the staple food is steamed buns.

Of course, there are also pickles and millet porridge.

There are cabbages in the cellar, and we have them to eat every day for the next two days.

This made Li Jiayi speechless. There were other vegetables at home! Why did they have cabbage for every meal?

In addition to these, there are also boiled eggs, which parents can bring to the factory to eat.

To be honest, the food in the factory is really not that good, especially the vegetables, which are either radishes or cabbages, nothing else.

The staple food is okay, and there are white flour steamed buns, but only a very small number of people will buy them, so not many are steamed.

Given the current conditions of Li Jia's family, Li Aimin and Ye Xin would of course eat white flour buns in the factory.

In the past, they had to take the food coupons subsidized by the factory home, but now they don’t need to do that anymore. They can exchange those food coupons for meal coupons and eat in the factory.

No need to run back and forth home.

After dinner, my mother packed four boiled eggs in a lunch box and went to work with my father.

Li Jiayi originally wanted to go to Pigeon City, but after thinking about it, he decided not to go.

Having sold so much pork yesterday, it would be a bit too late to go again today. However, he couldn't stay at home, so after thinking about it, he decided to go visit his grandmother.

Although it snowed from time to time during this period, it was not heavy. For such a long time, the roads from the imperial capital to the suburban counties have been open.

There is no problem going to grandma's house.

"Sister, I'm going to grandma's house today. I may stay there for a few days. Tell mom and dad when they come back." "Ah! You're going to grandma's house?" the eldest sister asked in surprise.

"Ok!"

"But with such heavy snow, is the road passable?"

"It's already connected. It's been more than a month since the first heavy snow. How could it not be connected?"

"But……"

"Okay, big sister, don't worry! I'll be fine."

Seeing that he couldn't stop his younger brother, Li Jiaqi quickly said, "Then take Ah Sheng and the others with you."

He was originally going to take Ah Sheng and the others with him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take Ah Sheng and the others with me."

"Well! Then you should be careful on the road."

"Don't worry! I will definitely be careful."

After saying goodbye to his elder and second sisters, Li Jiayi left home, but before leaving, he went to his master's house again.

The one who opened the door was Senior Sister Li Wanyu.

"Sister, is Master here?"

"Here, come in quickly."

"Ok!"

When he came to the house, the master was sitting there drinking tea. When he saw Li Jiayi come in, he smiled and said, "It's so cold today. Why are you here instead of staying at home?"

"I'm going to the countryside to visit my grandparents! I'll bring some things to you and Senior Sister before I leave."

Li Shugen looked at the things in Li Jiayi's hand and said helplessly, "I don't lack anything now. You can give these things to your grandparents."

"Master, I have prepared things for grandpa and grandma. These are to honor you."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Shugen shook his head speechlessly. It was not good for a disciple to be too filial.

If people knew about this, they would think he was lying to the child. Also, if Li Jiayi's parents knew about this, what would they think of him?

You know, Li Jiayi has been bringing a lot of things home during this period!

Rice, flour, oil, chicken, duck, goose, pork, beef, mutton, and even a lot of vegetables that were impossible to buy were given away.

This does not include the cigarettes and alcohol sent by Li Jiayi, and the things given to Li Wanyu.

If everything is counted, the value would be at least hundreds of dollars.

And this is just the money. If you include tickets, the amount would at least double.

"Add one! Send less things home in the future. If Master really has trouble making ends meet, he will tell you then."

"Uh! Master, what are you doing..."

"Okay, it's settled. This is the last time, Master, I will accept it. Next time you send something over, don't blame me for kicking you out."

Li Jiayi looked at his master, then turned to look at his senior sister Li Wanyu and asked, "Master, what happened? Did you fall on your head because of the slippery snow?"

"Pfft!" Senior sister couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I guess only a junior brother like me would dare to say this. All my senior brothers, when they see their father, they are like mice seeing a cat.

"What are you talking about, little brat?"

"Master, I'm not talking nonsense! If you didn't hit your head, why would you start talking nonsense?"

"What nonsense did I say?" Li Shugen asked.

"I, your disciple, am sending you something to honor you. How can you not let me in?"

"You..." Li Shugen didn't know what to say.

Seeing the master's expression, Li Jiayi felt that it was almost time, and quickly said: "Okay, I won't send you anything in the future, but it's none of your business if I send something for my senior sister!"

“It’s not the same.”

"Master, how can this be the same? Giving it to you is to show my filial piety to you, and giving it to my senior sister is a matter between us."

Li Shugen looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and thought: My apprentice is really only ten years old. He understands this logic so clearly. He doesn't seem like a ten-year-old child at all.

"You're just changing the subject, you little brat."

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "It's none of your business. This is between me and my senior sister."

"Okay! You've delivered the stuff, so get out of here. I don't want to see you for now."

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "What's so good about you, an old man? I don't even want to see you! I want to see my senior sister."

Li Jiayi's words made Li Shugen very angry, and he stood up to teach him a lesson.

Unfortunately, Li Jiayi ran out like a loach and disappeared in a flash.

Li Shugen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Of course he knew that Li Jiayi said that on purpose, and he didn't really want to teach him a lesson.

I just want to find an excuse to get this guy away, otherwise I will really get hurt by the anger.

After leaving his master's house, Li Jiayi just found an empty alley and went in.

When he came out, he had on a hood, a locomotive hat, and of course his sled.

But this time he didn't bring any box. Yes, the big wooden box on his sled was movable and could be taken down or installed at any time.

In fact, even so, Li Jiayi still thinks the sled is too big and plans to make a smaller one when he has time.
