Chapter 171 The Three-Year Period Begins
The afternoon passed in a flash, and it was time to go home from school. Li Jiayi packed up his things and prepared to go out.
"Li Jiayi, wait a moment." The little black fat man shouted from behind.
"what?"
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you, don't forget our agreement."
"Don't worry, I won't forget it. I will definitely keep it for you next time I get it."
"Well! That's what you said."
"I said, okay, I'll go first." He still had to wait for his elder sister at the school gate.
After coming out of the classroom, Li Jiayi ran towards the school gate.
Sure enough, the eldest sister was already waiting for him here.
"Sister, let's go."
"Ok!"
On the way home, there was not much snow on the road. Except for the large snow piles that had not melted yet, there was no snow anywhere else.
Outside the city, however, it still looked like a world of ice and snow.
Li Jiayi was even suspicious. Could it be that the temperature in the city was higher than outside the city? Otherwise, there was no way to explain it!
This also made Li Jiayi very helpless because his sled could not be used.
Not only is it useless in the city, it is also useless outside the city, unless he doesn't take the main road.
To be honest, without a sled, it's not as convenient as before.
The two of them had just arrived home when their parents came back on their bicycles.
Now there is no snow or even ice on the roads, so my parents can ride their bikes to and from get off work, and they can come back much faster than before.
"Mom and Dad."
"Yes!" Mom smiled and nodded and asked, "Son, what do you want to eat tonight?"
The New Year had long passed, and after the New Year Liao Kai went home to celebrate it alone, so the task of cooking fell on his mother again.
"It will be all right."
"Okay, then I'll do it."
"it is good."
"Jiayi, come here." At this moment, Liao Kai shouted from the Moon Gate.
"coming."
Li Jiayi agreed, turned around and said to his mother, "Mom, I'll go over there for a moment."
"Yeah! Go ahead!"
Li Jiayi quickly ran up to Liao Kai and asked, "Uncle Liao, what's the matter?"
Liao Kai looked around and saw that there was no one around. He said in a low voice, "I've told the director about the wild boar. Come find me tomorrow afternoon after school."
"Okay, I see."
"Well! Then I'll go back and cook."
"it is good."
The next afternoon, since it was not Sunday, Li Jiayi could not skip school, so after school he said goodbye to his elder sister and rushed to the woolen mill.
Fortunately, it is not winter anymore. Although the days are not as long as those in summer, they are much longer than those in winter.
In winter, it gets dark around five o'clock, but now it gets dark around six o'clock.
When he arrived at the woolen mill, Li Jiayi told the security guard that he was looking for Liao Kai. Perhaps he had informed him in advance, the guard let him in directly.
Li Jiayi is quite familiar with the woolen spinning factory.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, Liao Kai was already waiting for him. And there was not only Liao Kai but also the cafeteria director.
No wonder Liao Kai didn’t wait for him in the guard room, it turned out there was someone else.
"How about adding one? Did you get it?"
"Uncle Liao, if you still don't believe me, I've got it here. It's in the woods not far from the factory."
In fact, it is still the same place as before, and Liao Kai knows this.
"Since we're already here, what are we waiting for? Let's go and bring them back first."
"Ok!"
Liao Kai called two of his apprentices and rode out on the canteen's cart.
This time even the canteen director came along.
Li Jiayi also greeted the director. The two were old acquaintances and had dealt with each other several times.
The group arrived at the edge of the woods, and Li Jiayi went in first to take a look, under the pretext of seeing where they were.
In fact, it is just to take out the wild boar.
He wouldn't take the wild boar out in advance, because who knows if anyone would pass by here.
What if someone sees a wild boar and takes it away directly?
Although he doesn't care about the two wild boars, he doesn't want to let others take advantage of them!
He took the wild boar out, made some disguises, and shouted, "Uncle Liao, come in! The wild boar is here."
"coming."
Then Liao Kai, the canteen director, and Liao Kai’s two apprentices ran in.
Liao Kai went up to remove the disguise, looked at the two wild boars and said, "These are really big."
"Master Liao, let's not talk about this for now. It's safer to pull it back first so no one can see it."
"Yes, yes, come and help."
The "others" the director was referring to not only other factories, but also other canteens in the woolen mill.
There are nine canteens in the woolen mill, and the competition among these nine canteens is fierce.
After all, everyone wants to go further, especially him as the canteen director.
Nowadays, whoever can get good things is the one with great ability. The woolen mill is not short of money, but it lacks meat and food.
He has been working as the director of a canteen for several years and has always wanted to move up, but has never had the opportunity.
But now the opportunity has come, yes, this opportunity is Li Jiayi.
The director has promised him that if the canteen can continue to bring back a few wild boars, he will be given a promotion next time. For a large department like the Logistics Department, a deputy section-level position is really nothing.
With the help of Li Jiayi, the few people finally lifted the two wild boars onto the cart.
And he quickly covered it up, fearing that others would see it.
But it doesn't matter to Li Jiayi.
"Jiayi, you go back first! I'll get the money for you later."
"Okay Uncle Liao, I'll go back first. It's already late, and my mother must be worried."
"Well! Go back quickly!"
Because he couldn't use the sled, it would take Li Jiayi a lot of time to run back.
If he had a sled, he could get home in less than ten minutes, but now, it would take at least twenty minutes, or even half an hour.
When Li Jiayi returned home, it was time for dinner.
"Is your son back? Go wash your hands and have dinner."
My mother didn't ask him where he was going. Maybe my eldest sister told her that he had gone out for something.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
When he came out after washing his hands, the food had been prepared and he sat down to eat.
After dinner he went straight back to his room because the weather was warm and he didn't want to take a sauna now.
As for Liao Kai, he should be back very late! After all, he has to deal with the two wild boars.
It is even possible that I will not come back tonight and just stay in the factory for the night.
The peaceful days passed, but were soon broken.
The one who broke this peaceful day was none other than the historian in the front yard.
Shi Datiao's injuries had healed. He was brought back from the countryside by the police station and put into a juvenile detention center.
If it were just this, it would not matter to the hospital, after all, they had already left the city.
The reason why the peaceful days were broken was that the people from the Shi family returned to the courtyard.
Yes, it is summer now and the summer harvest in rural areas was just completed some time ago.
Because of the cold winter, a lot of wheat was frozen to death, and the lack of rain resulted in a large-scale reduction in grain production.
After deducting the public grain that had to be paid, there was not much left. Under this circumstance, the era of the big pot meal in rural areas officially ended.
Seeing this situation, the various villages could only divide the remaining food, and then go back to their own homes to find their own mothers.
But the food we were allocated was not that much, let alone enough to last until next year. We should be thankful if we could eat until the autumn harvest.
And because there has been no rain, it is even a question whether crops can be planted in the fall.
In this situation, the Shi family discussed it and returned to the city with their family.
Anyway, there is still a son with a high salary in the city.
This is what Shi Zhen thinks.
It’s better than having no food to eat in the countryside.
But Shi Zhen is a real worry! As soon as she returned to the courtyard, she started fighting with Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law.
What kind of person is Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law? She is honest and simple, and because of her poor health, she rarely goes out.
I have been making matchboxes at home to supplement the family income.
You don't have to think about it to know that the fight between Shi Zhen and her was definitely because of Shi Zhen.
The same is true.
Thanks to Li Jiayi's reminder, Cheng Qiaoyun had already started stockpiling food.
There was half a bag of cornmeal among them. Because it had been there for a long time, Cheng Qiaoyun’s mother-in-law was afraid that it would go bad, so she took it out and put it outside to dry.
I was afraid that the fish would be eaten by birds while drying them, so I went back to the house, got a stool and sat there to watch.
But when she went back to the house to get a stool, the cornmeal she had dried was gone when she came out.
This made Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law very distressed. Half a bag of cornmeal! This was not going to kill her.
I don’t know if it was because the person who collected her cornmeal was too panicked and didn’t wrap it tightly, so some of it spilled on the ground.
Following the cornmeal scattered on the ground, Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law came to the door of the Shi family.
At this time, Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law still didn't understand that her cornmeal was taken away by the Shi family.
Just knock on the door and ask for cornmeal.
Who is Shi Zhen? She is cunning even when she is being unreasonable, and she refuses to admit it.
So, the noise started, from morning till afternoon.
When Li Jiayi and his elder sister came back from school, Shi Zhen was still sitting on the ground yelling, saying that Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law had wronged her and asked Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law to pay compensation.
Li Jiayi didn't know what was going on, so he waved to Cheng Qiaoyun's son Shao Jianjun.
"plus one."
"Well! What's going on?" Li Jiayi asked.
"It's like this, my grandma..." Shao Jianjun told the whole story from beginning to end.
Li Jiayi asked Shao Jianjun to come closer and said, "Go to the street office and tell them what happened. Then go to the police station and report that your food was stolen."
"Ah! This... this is not good! In the past, all problems in our hospital were solved in the hospital!"
"That was in the past. We had an old man managing the courtyard. Now there are no old men in the courtyard. We can only go to the street office and the police station."
After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Shao Jianjun thought about it and realized it was true. He nodded and said, "I understand, Jiayi. I'll go right away."
"Yes! By the way, when you go to the subdistrict office, ask the people there if those who were sent back to the countryside can stay in the city forever?"
"Okay." Shao Jianjun nodded and walked outside.
