Chapter 148 Time Doesn't Allow
Yes, it was to get a military uniform, and it didn’t cost any money, you could get it directly with a ticket, which surprised Li Jiayi.
Not only clothing tickets, but also shoe tickets can be collected directly.
And what they received were not ordinary shoes, but military boots.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many of these tickets, only two sets, plus three shoe tickets.
After coming out of Beihai Park, although it was still early, he had nothing to do, so he could only go straight home.
Of course I couldn't go home empty-handed, so I took out a white-striped chicken, a goose, and some ribs.
This is enough for the family to eat for two days.
When he got home, his eldest sister and second sister were studying. When they saw him come back, the eldest sister hurried out.
Seeing what he brought, he quickly asked, "Little brother, why did you bring back so many things?"
"I had nothing to do today so I went to the compound to hang out with my friends, so I exchanged these with them."
"You've changed too many things. Will there be any problem?" the eldest sister asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, big sister, there won't be any problem. I've been exchanging with them for such a long time, if there was any problem, it would have been known long ago."
The eldest sister nodded and said, "That's true."
"By the way, sister, I also got some good stuff in exchange."
"Good stuff? What good stuff?"
"Look what this is?" Li Jiayi took out the two Ganoderma lucidum that he had saved before.
"Brother, what good stuff is this! It's just a mushroom! It's just a lot bigger."
"Puff!" Li Jiayi almost vomited blood.
"Sister, look carefully, what is this?"
The eldest sister took it and took a look at it, and soon found something wrong, so she hurried back to the house and took out a book.
He opened the book and began to flip through it. He soon came to a page, then looked up at him in surprise and asked, "Little brother, is this Ganoderma lucidum?"
"Yes, it's Ganoderma lucidum. Put one in the stewed pork ribs tonight."
Ganoderma lucidum can be used to make tea, wine, porridge and soup, and it can also be used to stew pork ribs.
"Eating spare ribs again?" asked the eldest sister.
"It's also fine to make chicken soup. Just make it your own way! But don't forget to put a piece of Ganoderma lucidum in it."
"I see. You really know how to eat it. This Lingzhi can be sold for a lot of money at the pharmacy!"
"Sister, why do you think people buy Lingzhi for?"
"Treat the disease! What else can I do?"
"You're wrong. People who can afford Lingzhi are unlikely to use it to treat illnesses. They eat it too. They spend money to buy it and eat it. We don't spend money, so why can't we eat it?"
"Ah! This..."
"Okay, big sister, just do as I say. Let's eat it. It's good for your health anyway."
"OK then!"
Li Jiayi handed the things to his eldest sister, glanced at his second sister who was pretending to study, smiled and said nothing.
Seeing his second sister's guilty look, he knew that she had gone to her room again.
The reason she smiled was that the things in his room were originally prepared for her and her elder sister.
If he wants to eat it himself, he doesn't need to take it out. He can take it from the space anytime he wants to eat.
It's a pity that the second sister didn't know! She thought those things were left by her younger brother for himself.
So every time she went in to eat secretly, she was very cautious and felt guilty after eating.
Actually, this is a good thing, because at least my second sister won’t be so unscrupulous.
If these things were placed in her own room, she would probably eat them all up quickly.
I don’t even eat meals, I just eat these snacks all day long.
Li Jiayi returned to the room and took a look. It was just as he thought, except that just a little bit of each thing was missing.
"Sister, come here." Li Jiayi shouted to the people below.
"What's up little brother?"
"It's okay, come up here."
"Oh!"
Soon the eldest sister came upstairs, took a look in his room and asked, "Did your second sister eat your food again?"
Li Jiayi put his finger to his mouth and said, "Sister, these things were originally prepared for you and my second sister. I put them in my room because I was afraid she would eat too much."
"Ah! Isn't this something you're saving for yourself?"
Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Of course not, I don't really like snacks."
"Little brother, you are a bit mean! Every time your second sister comes to your room to eat, she looks guilty. If she knew that these were originally for her to eat, I wonder how she would react."
"Big sister, you can't tell her. If you do that, she might not even eat and will just eat these every day."
"That's true. Don't worry! I won't tell her."
"Yeah! But sister, why don't you eat?"
Others may not know, but Li Jiayi knows very well that when his elder sister came to his room, besides taking his clothes, she would change his bed sheets and quilt covers, and sometimes clean the room.
It can be said that when the eldest sister came to his room, nothing would be missing in his room, not even a piece of biscuit.
"I always thought you were saving it for yourself!" "Is that so? Now you know what's going on. Come here and eat it yourself next time! If you don't eat it, my second sister will eat it all sooner or later."
"Yeah! I understand."
Li Jiayi stuffed an apple into the elder sister's hand and said, "Okay, I asked you to come up just to tell you this, go and study!"
"it is good."
After the elder sister went downstairs, Li Jiayi took off his leather jacket and goose down jacket, and put on a pair of trousers. He did not wear anything before, so he still wore his autumn clothes.
I was originally lying on the bed to rest, but I fell asleep without realizing it.
Maybe it’s because the temperature in the room is relatively high, giving people a warm feeling.
Although there was no stove near him, his room was warmer when the fireplace in the living room was lit.
This may have something to do with the rising heat.
When he woke up, his parents had already returned from get off work, and his eldest sister was almost done cooking.
Li Jiayi came down from upstairs.
As soon as he got downstairs, Li Aimin called out to him, "Son, your elder sister told me that you brought back two Ganoderma lucidum today?"
"Yeah! What's the matter?"
"You are really good, you don't use Lingzhi to make wine, but you let your elder sister use it to stew pork ribs?"
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Dad, you're the only one who can drink the wine, but our whole family can eat the stewed pork ribs."
"Ugh! This..."
"My son is right." Ye Xin nodded.
"Oh no! I was thinking that the stewed pork ribs can be eaten in one meal, and the wine can be drunk for a long time!"
"Isn't there another one? Talk to your son and ask him to let you make some wine."
"I……"
"Okay, Dad! I originally left one plant for you to make wine, otherwise I would have asked my eldest sister to use it to stew pork ribs."
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Li Aimin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "My son is still good to me."
Unfortunately, what he said was met with a roll of the eyes from Ye Xin. I don’t know who was speechless just now.
Li Aimin is not a selfish person. He drinks wine by himself and eats with the whole family. Of course, he doesn't know what to say.
To be honest, it was just a Ganoderma lucidum, and Li Jiayi didn't take it seriously. He had hundreds of these things in his space.
As for the ones that have not yet grown, it probably won’t take long before he can eat them as meals.
Of course, this is just a metaphor. Although Ganoderma lucidum is good, you can't eat too much of it. Eating too much will only backfire.
"By the way, son, you run around outside every day and don't study. It won't affect your grades, right?" Ye Xin looked at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Don't worry, Mom! If I were not so young, I could take the technical secondary school entrance exam right now."
"Technical secondary school entrance exam?" Ye Xin frowned.
"Yup!"
"Son, have you ever thought about going to college?"
In Ye Xin's opinion, it is more promising to go to university, and after graduating from university, one will have a better future.
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to go to college, but time doesn't allow it!" Li Jiayi said helplessly.
"Time doesn't allow? Why not? You are only ten years old and already in the first grade of junior high school. If you don't repeat a grade, you can enter university in five years at most."
Li Jiayi didn't know how to explain to his mother. He said time didn't allow it and it had nothing to do with his age.
According to the fact that he is now in the first grade of junior high school, he was in the second grade of junior high school in 1959, the third grade of junior high school in 1960, the first grade of senior high school in 1961, and the second grade of senior high school in 1962. Although high school only has two years, he took the college entrance examination in 1963.
College is four years long, and normally, he would take six or seven years to graduate.
And 1966 was a ten-year period, which can be said to be right at the tip of the gun.
Unless he could skip two grades, but that was simply impossible. In this era, skipping grades was not that easy.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to skip only one grade in five years of elementary school. With his academic performance, he could have skipped directly from the second grade to the fifth grade without any problem.
Even if you skip from first grade to third grade, or from third grade to fifth grade, that's fine!
But he didn't. It wasn't that he didn't want to skip a grade, but the school didn't allow it, so he only skipped one grade in five years of elementary school.
Now that he is in junior high school, the most he can do is skip one grade, from the first to the third.
Once you enter high school, there are only two years of high school and there is no way to skip a grade.
This is not the future! As long as you have good grades, you can skip as many grades as you want. Now everything is basically done step by step.
He was able to skip a grade in elementary school because his grades were so good. He applied many times and the principal gave special approval.
If you only skip one grade, you might as well not be picky and directly take the technical secondary school entrance exam. You will graduate from technical secondary school at the age of sixteen and can start working.
With a job, they won't have to go to the countryside to work. Not only him, but also his elder and second sisters have been arranged in the same way.
As for how work is arranged, technical secondary schools guarantee job assignments, and they are cadre positions.
Even if the assigned place is not good, Li Jiayi can find other ways to get a good unit for his two sisters.
"Mom, I can't explain this to you right away. You will know it when the time comes."
Knowing that his son is smart and thinks of many things ahead of others, he must have his reasons for saying so.
