Chapter 143 Gloating over misfortune
"After the area is cleared, not only can the villagers go to the market, but I can come here too! If it is not cleared, how can I come here?"

The old man nodded and said, "That's true."

"Old man, go call the old people over and make some delicious food for the children at noon."

"Grandma, let me go! The road is slippery."

In fact, the old man is only in his fifties this year and is a farmer, so he can be said to be in good health.

"Okay, you can go, but you have to be careful not to fall."

"Don't worry, grandma. I know."

"Well! Go ahead! Come back soon."

Li Jiayi came out of his grandmother's house and went straight to his uncle's house.

Although it’s not close, it’s in the same village, so how far can it be?

In just a few minutes, Li Jiayi arrived at his uncle's door, went up, knocked on the door and called out, "Uncle."

Soon the door opened and his uncle appeared in front of him wearing an old-fashioned blue coat.

He showed a surprised expression and asked, "Jiayi, when did you come?"

"I just arrived. Grandma asked me to come and call you to bring Auntie, my brother and my sister over."

"Okay, okay, you come in first."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi followed his uncle into the house. His uncle's house had also been renovated, and even all the houses in the village had been renovated.

The heavy snow did not have much impact on the village, and because of advance preparations, there was plenty of firewood for the families to use.

When Li Jiayi came in, both his aunt and his cousins ​​were sitting on the kang.

Because the kang is heated! It is very warm on the kang. Who wouldn't stay on it under such circumstances?

I guess he only gets up from the kang when it’s time to eat!
And looking at the pile of firewood in the house, this situation must have been going on for some time.

"Gain One is here?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Would you like to stay on the kang?"

"No need, Auntie. Grandma asked me to call you over."

"Oh! Then I'll get up right away."

"younger brother."

"elder brother."

His cousins ​​also hurriedly greeted Li Jiayi, especially his cousin, who came out of bed.

"You guys should get up soon! Grandma prepared something delicious for lunch today and asked me to call you over to eat."

When they heard that there was something delicious to eat, both cousins' eyes lit up.

During this period, although they were not starving, they only ate ordinary meals every day.

Steamed corn bread, pickles, sometimes stir-fried radish or cabbage, and occasionally steamed buns.

Forget about eating meat. The heavy snow blocked the mountains, gates and roads. It can be said that you can’t go anywhere.

Especially on the mountain where you can get some meat, don't even think about it, because the snow there is thicker than a person.

As for the pigs and sheep in the village, don’t even think about it. They have all been registered, and if one or only one is missing, it will be a big deal.

It can be said that they were already extremely greedy, and now when they heard there was something delicious to eat, they no longer cared whether they were cold or not!

"Wear thicker clothes, so you don't catch a cold." The old lady gave instructions to the three of them.

"I know, Mom."

Perhaps influenced by Li Jiayi's family, my cousin also calls her "Mom" instead of "Niang" like other children in the village.

At this time, the uncle finally interrupted and asked, "Jiayi, how did you get here in such a heavy snow? Is the bus running?"

"Uncle, I don't know if the bus is running, I made a sled and asked Asheng and the others to pull it here."

The bus from the city to Changping County is available, but he really doesn't know whether the bus from Changping County to Liucun Commune is available.

Anyway, he didn't see any bus when he passed by Liucun Commune.

You should know that under normal circumstances, there will always be a bus parked there in the commune.

After all, the buses are running in both directions. If one bus goes from the commune to the county town, then there will also be one bus coming from the county town.

In other words, two trips a day actually means one round trip for each car.

"You are really brave. You dare to come here alone with a sled." The uncle shook his head and said.

Is Li Jiayi brave? With the seven of Ah Sheng around, it is estimated that no one would dare to attack him.

Not to mention a human, even a tiger can be torn to pieces by Asheng and the others. This is no joke.

Given the physique of Asheng and the others, and after being transformed by the spiritual spring water, even Li Jiayi didn't know how strong their fighting power was.

Soon, my aunt and my cousins ​​got dressed, and then they all headed towards my grandmother's house.

When they returned to grandma's house and saw Asheng and the others, uncle finally understood why Li Jiayi was so brave.

If it were him, he would be very brave. With these seven giant dogs around, there would be no place he would not dare to go!
"Come on, Xiao Cui, come with me to cook." Grandma said as she watched them come over.

The Xiao Cui that grandma mentioned is the name of my aunt, whose full name is Liu Xiaocui, a simple and kind-hearted farmer.

"Good girl."

Grandma and aunt went to cook, and Li Jiayi and uncle came to the main room.

When they saw the pile of things on the ground, the two cousins' eyes lit up!

Even the uncle looked shocked and incredulous. "Brother Jiayi."

Seeing his cousin's expression, Li Jiayi couldn't help but understand what was going on.

"It's almost time for dinner, forget about the cookies, eat some candy instead!"

"Yeah!" My cousin nodded her head.

Li Jiayi went over and opened the candy jar, took out a handful of candy, handed it to his cousin and said, "Give it to your eldest brother and second brother to share."

"Thank you, Brother Jiayi."

"No need, these candies and cookies are for you anyway."

"Add one! No cigarettes and alcohol?" The uncle suddenly asked at this time.

Of course there were cigarettes and alcohol, but they were put away by the old man.

"What does it have to do with you whether there are cigarettes or alcohol? That's a gift from my grandson to me." The old man said at this time.

"Uh! Dad, I'm just asking." The uncle touched his nose awkwardly.

"Humph, I'm telling you, don't try to get my cigarettes and alcohol, or I'll break your legs."

Seeing their father being humiliated, my cousins ​​and the others all showed an expression of gloating. They must have been told this many times.

At this time, Grandpa had already lit the small fireplace in the living room.

Yes, there is a fireplace here, but it is relatively small, mainly because the rooms in this type of house are small.

Originally the old man didn't allow it to be repaired, but Li Jiayi insisted, so it was finally repaired.

But it seems that it has not been used. This is normal. There is a kang in the room. Lighting up the kang and lying on it is no better than staying in the living room.

There are only grandparents at home. Are they going to sit in the living room and stare at each other all the time?

But today there were so many people around, so the fireplace came in handy. When it was lit, the living room immediately became a lot warmer.

"Dad, this fireplace is so warm, why don't you light it normally?"

After a while, everyone felt hot, and the uncle asked while taking off his coat.

"Why burn it? It's warm enough lying on the kang."

"Uh! All right!"

Li Jiayi also took off his leather and down jackets. He had to do so because the temperature was too high.

As for the two cousins, they also took off their thick cotton coats.

Because Li Jiayi got a lot of premium cotton tickets before the weather got cold, Li Aimin bought some and sent them over.

Although this year's winter is one of the coldest in a century, they were not frozen.

The thick cotton-padded clothes that everyone wears are made of top-grade cotton, which is enough to make cotton-padded clothes for adults.

While Li Jiayi was chatting with his grandfather and uncle, his grandmother and aunt had already prepared the meal.

Because there were so many people, grandma stewed a big goose, and also served scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried meat with peppers.

The staple food is rice, which is the refined rice brought by Li Jiayi. It smells delicious.

Grandma originally planned to make white flour steamed buns, but there was not enough time, so she could only make them in the evening.

People in the north still prefer to eat pasta, especially steamed buns.

But even so, it is already very good, this is polished rice! The nutritional value may not be comparable to brown rice, but the taste is several times better than brown rice.

When it was time to eat, the two cousins ​​suddenly became food lovers, which might be because they hadn't seen meat for a long time.

Fortunately, the goose we are stewing is not as oily as pork, otherwise, if we eat it this way, we would have diarrhea.

The meal was finished quickly, and both the rice and the vegetables were eaten up cleanly.

"Look at you two, you are such a loser." The uncle glared at his two cousins.

Hearing what my uncle said, my grandmother was unhappy and said, "I don't think you are much better than them."

Protecting calves has always been grandma’s specialty.

"Mom, I just asked them to learn from Jiayi. Look at them now, they probably can't even stand up." The uncle said aggrievedly.

"My eldest grandson doesn't lack money, so how can they compare? Do you have the ability to make sure they don't lack money?"

"Uh! I..." Uncle didn't know what to say.

My uncle didn't drink any wine at lunch, and mainly because my grandfather didn't drink either.

Although there were delicious dishes, the old man didn’t have the habit of drinking in the middle of the day.

At this time, Grandpa brewed a large enamel pot of tea, using the tea that Li Jiayi brought over.

After brewing it, he poured it out into an enamel jar for Li Jiayi and started drinking it himself.

As for my uncle, he did not have such treatment. He could only brew jasmine tea in an enamel pot for himself.

But this is already a good thing for him. You know, the old man usually doesn’t want to drink it!
Now that there is something better, he can drink this, otherwise he couldn't even have this.

"You two little brats, stand up and walk around." The old man shouted to his two cousins.

It was warm in the living room, so my uncle and his family didn't go home after dinner.

We have to eat here tonight anyway, so why go back?

Grandma said at this time: "When you go back, take some of the lard and meat back."

"Ah! Mom, we can't accept this. It's okay to eat something here, but eating and taking it at the same time is not acceptable." The old lady shook her head and said.

"Why is that unacceptable?"

"Mom, these are Jiayi's gifts to you and Dad. What's the matter with us taking them back?" The aunt shook her head again.

　PS: Brothers and sisters, please give me some monthly tickets! Thank you!
