Chapter 169 Time flies by
After lunch, Li Jiayi did not go out again. It was not because he didn't want to, but because he was under house arrest by his grandmother.

Not only that, his grandmother was sitting at the door, so he couldn't even go out and play.

The day passed quickly. Although I stayed here for two nights, I actually only stayed here for one day.

After finishing breakfast early in the morning, I said goodbye to my grandparents and walked towards the village entrance to go there early.

Otherwise, if Sixth Grandpa doesn’t see anyone, he will drive away. In that case, we may have to stay here for another day.

Although they only stayed for one day, grandparents were still very happy, and they also knew that Li Aimin and Ye Xin had to go to work.

There is no other way. The woolen mill has a heavy workload and the New Year holidays are taken under great pressure.

Not long after arriving at the village entrance, Sixth Grandpa drove a ox cart towards this side.

There were already a few people on the ox cart. When the cart stopped, Li Jiayi and his family hurriedly got on.

"Why don't you stay a few more days before leaving?" asked Sixth Grandpa.

"Sixth uncle, we can't live here anymore. The factory is about to start work." Li Aimin said helplessly.

"Starting work so soon?"

"Yes! The workload at the factory is quite heavy."

"Well, work is important."

More than two hours later, the ox cart arrived at Liucun Commune. Li Aimin offered money, but Sixth Grandpa said he wanted nothing.

There was no choice but Li Aimin could only put the money on the ox cart and leave.

No matter what, driving a ox cart is Sixth Grandpa's livelihood, and since it is a livelihood, there is no reason not to pay him.

If no one gives money, how can Sixth Grandpa drive the ox cart?

Since we arrived early, it still took some time for the bus to start running, but that didn't matter.

Anyway, there was no problem at all when I got home today.

More than half an hour later, the bus started, and after a few more hours of bumpy ride, we finally returned to the city.

At this time, it was not far from dark, so the family hurried home.

When they got home, Liao Kai was cooking in the kitchen.

"Brother Li, sister-in-law, I knew you would come back today." Liao Kai said.

Although his family went to visit relatives these two days, Liao Kai still had dinner at his house.

They had agreed to celebrate the New Year together, so Liao Kai didn't prepare anything. If he didn't eat here, he really had nowhere to go.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaokai." Ye Xin said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I am a chef, and cooking is my job."

"Ok."

"Brother Li, sister-in-law, you must be tired after sitting in the car all day. Go wash up and rest for a while. I'll be there soon."

"Row."

"Uncle Liao, what delicious food are you making today?" Li Jialin hurriedly came up and asked.

She didn't eat much when she had dinner at her grandma's house these two days.

This is normal. No matter whether it is grandma, mom, or aunt, their cooking skills cannot compare to Liao Kai!

I don’t know if it’s because I’m picky, but Li Jialin always felt that the food was not tasty, so she didn’t eat it properly.

"Tell Uncle Liao what you want to eat?" Liao Kai asked Li Jialin.

"I want to eat braised pork."

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away. I'll make sure you can have braised pork at dinner later."

"Yeah! Thank you, Uncle Liao." Li Jialin nodded repeatedly to express her gratitude.

"Uncle Liao, do you have any big river shrimps left?" Li Jiayi came over and asked.

"Yes! There were so many left before the New Year that I froze them all. Why, do you want to eat some shrimp?"

"Ok!"

"Okay, leave it to me."

"it is good."

Had a good dinner, then a sauna and a bath.

It can be regarded as washing away all the fatigue.

When Li Jiayi returned to the house, the first thing he did was to lock the door and enter the space.

Collect what should be collected, slaughter what should be slaughtered, and then send them into a static space.

The next morning, Li Jiayi said goodbye to his parents and left home. He was preparing to go to his master's house.

Of course he couldn't go to his master's house empty-handed, so he prepared a lot of things. To be honest, it was really a hassle to prepare so many things.

But he had a sled! He took out the sled, tied the things he brought to the back, and drove the sled to the master's house.

Ten minutes later, Li Jiayi arrived at his master's house, got off the sled, went up and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly and Senior Sister Li Wanting appeared before them.

"Hey, why is it you, Junior Brother?"

"Senior Sister, if it's not me, is there someone else coming?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.

"Not really, I just didn't expect it to be you."

"Okay, by the way, is Master here?"

"In the house."

Li Jiayi drove the sled into the yard and started moving things into the house.

"You little brat, why did you bring so many things here?" Li Shugen came out of the house and asked.

"Master, there aren't many things, just some food, and some cigarettes and alcohol prepared for you."

"You kid, have you emptied the supply and marketing cooperative?" Li Shugen was speechless as he watched Li Jiayi carrying things down bag by bag.

"No! I didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative. I got it from home."

Li Shugen could not help but understand that he said this on purpose because he just didn't want to mention the issue of how much stuff there was.

Li Wanting smiled and said, "I guess we won't need to buy anything for half a year."

This is of course an exaggeration, but Li Jiayi did bring a lot of things with him.

20 catties of flour, 20 catties of rice, 5 catties of pork, 5 catties of beef, 5 catties of mutton, and 5 catties of pork fat. In addition to these, there was also a chicken, a duck, a goose, two strips of Zhonghua beer, and two bottles of Maotai.

When Li Jiayi took all these down and came into the house, the master asked, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Master, everything is fine at home. I just came back from my grandparents' house yesterday. They are in good health too."

"That's good."

"How are you?" Li Jiayi said this while looking him up and down.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm in good health."

"OK then!"

Li Jiayi did not leave at noon, not because he did not want to leave, but because his master did not allow him to.

There was no choice but to stay and have a meal, which of course was cooked by the master.

My senior sister can do it, but her skills are obviously not as good as our master's.

If it was just the two of them eating, it wouldn't matter who cooked, but Li Jiayi was here today, so the master cooked for them himself.

To be honest, the master's craftsmanship is not bad, almost on par with his mother's. I guess it's the result of years of practice.

You have to know that his senior sister was still young in the past few years and definitely couldn’t cook for him, so he had to do it himself.

After dinner, Li Jiayi chatted with his master for a while before leaving.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is March. The weather in March has begun to get warmer.

Of course, this warmth just means that the temperature is not that low, and the ice and snow are starting to melt.

During the past two months, Li Jiayi sometimes went out to break ice, and sometimes went to the pigeon market to sell some meat.

Li Jiayi and his classmates also started school. Yes, school started after the weather got a little warmer.

It’s not so cold to go out now, even Li Jiayi has taken off his down jacket.

To be honest, Li Jiayi still likes going to school very much. At least he doesn’t have to do nothing every day.

After breakfast in the morning, Li Jiayi and his elder sister rushed to school.

As for the second sister, she also went to elementary school with Sun Qingmin and her sister.

"Sister, you just need to prepare some vegetables for lunch. I have already prepared the other dishes." Li Jiayi said when they were about to part at the school gate.

"Got it. Go to class now! We are a little late today."

"Well! Then I'll go back to class first."

"Go!"

When Li Jiayi came to the class, he was the only one missing.

The fat black guy was making eyes at him, and it looked like he hadn't held back his fart.

"Li Jiayi, you're a little late today?" The little black fat man said as soon as he sat down.

"Is it late?"

"Night!"

"Is the class starting now?" Li Jiayi asked with a smile.

"Uh! Not really." The little black fat man shook his head.

"Why am I late if there's no class?"

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the little black fat boy patted his forehead and said, "That's right! It's not considered late if you don't attend class!"

"Okay, stop playing around and tell me what you need my help with."

As soon as he came in, he knew that this kid was not holding his fart well.

The little black fat man scratched his head and said, "It's nothing serious, I just want you to do me a favor."

"Release it."

"Okay, here's the thing. You eat pig heads every day. Do you have any way to buy them?"

You should know that even if you want to buy pig heads, you need a ticket, and one or two tickets can only buy one or two pieces of pig heads.

If that's the case, why do people still buy pig heads? Wouldn't it be better to just buy pork?

One thing you need to make clear is that the pork is raw, while the pig head is cooked. You should know that the meat will shrink after being cooked for a while.

Normally, one pound of meat can only yield seven ounces when cooked, and sometimes even less than that.

If you calculate it this way, it would be more cost-effective to buy pig heads in later generations.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that pig head has little oil. In fact, pig head has a lot of oil.

Anyone who has eaten pig head knows that there is not much lean meat at all, most of it is fat.

"No way." Li Jiayi shook his head.

"Impossible. How many meat coupons can your family have to allow you to eat pig heads for lunch every day?"

"I really don't have any connections. As for the pig's head, I asked someone to braise it for me."

"Help you braise it?" The little black fat man looked at Li Jiayi in surprise.

"Yes! It's like this. I know a hunter and have been dealing with him for a long time. Whenever he kills a wild boar, he will sell it to me, so I can eat pig head meat every day."

"No way, you can buy wild boars, and they are available every once in a while?" The little black fat man was even more surprised this time.

"Yes."

"Why don't I have such good luck?" said the little black fat man, scratching his hair.

"Fatty, it's useless even if you have luck." Li Jiayi said with a smile.

"why?"

"Because you have no money! You know, hunters want cash! Do you have money to buy the wild boar?"

"Ugh! This..."

The fat little black boy's family is not short of money, and the boy has a lot of pocket money.

But no matter how much money you have, it’s just pocket money. Let alone buying a wild boar, you probably can’t even buy a pig’s head.

You can't even buy a pig's tail.
