Chapter 172 Half-open door, half-door
After Shao Jianjun left, Li Jiayi took his elder sister and walked directly through the crowd and headed towards the central courtyard.
It seemed as if what happened in the hospital had nothing to do with him, and it had nothing to do with him in the first place.
All we can say is that he is indifferent to what happens in the hospital.
Does he need to care about this? What's the point of being happy with him? Why should he care?
But he knew that someone was going to be in trouble this time.
When Shi Zhen's family returned to the city from the countryside, Li Jiayi didn't even believe the punctuation marks when they said the street office didn't know about it.
What era is it now? You need a letter of introduction to go anywhere. Even when Shi Zhen was sent back to her hometown, the street office issued a certificate and letter of introduction.
If they want to come to the city now, they also need a certificate and letter of introduction from the village committee, otherwise it would be impossible for them to come to the city.
If it was just a few days, it would be fine and could be considered a visit to relatives, but it was obviously not the case with the Shi Zhen family!
Carrying a lot of bags, it's obvious that he plans to stay for a long time.
Maybe the subdistrict office also knows what the current situation in the countryside is like, so they just turn a blind eye.
But Shi Zhen is such a loser! She has only been here for a few days and she has already started stealing things.
And they were stealing food.
You know, stealing food is more serious than stealing other things!
Because we all eat commercial grain, and commercial grain has a fixed quota. There is only a certain amount of grain every month, and once it is eaten, there is no more.
If you steal other people's food, then they will have nothing to eat. You can imagine what the consequences will be.
Therefore, stealing food is absolutely not allowed. If the food is of equal value, the crime of stealing food will be more severe.
This is also the reason why Li Jiayi asked Shao Jianjun to go to the street office to ask.
If the street office allows food thieves to live in the yard because of a little mercy, then it is the responsibility of the street office.
Of course, if the subdistrict office really knows nothing about it, then the problem is equally serious.
Shi Zhen's family has violated household registration regulations and will most likely go to jail.
Don’t think that since it’s just a three-year period, eating prison food is pretty good. At least you have food to eat, and it’s free.
If you think so, you are wrong. Prison food is not free.
That has to be exchanged for labor. If it is just detention, you still have to pay money and a ticket.
For example, Shi Datiao is now in a juvenile detention center. Due to his young age, he cannot participate in labor, so his family has to pay a certain amount of money and food coupons every month.
If he doesn't pay, he will have nothing to eat.
When I got home, my mother was cooking, and of course my second sister was the one who lit the fire.
As for Dad, he was drinking tea in the living room at this time.
"Mom, we are back!"
"I'm back. Go wash your hands and eat later."
"Oh!"
"You little brat, you come back now without even saying hello?" Li Aimin asked jealously.
"Dad, this is so nourishing!"
"Hehehe, of course."
Seeing his show-off look, Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "But all your comfort is because of me."
"Ugh!" Li Aimin stopped abruptly like a duck with its neck pinched.
Still he said stubbornly: "What's the matter, you are my son, isn't it normal for me to enjoy some of my son's respect?"
"Well, it should."
"By the way, son, is the noise still going on outside?"
"Yeah! Throwing a tantrum and rolling around is Shi Zhen's signature! "
Li Aimin shook his head and said, "It's really worrying. It's only been a few days and he's already started stealing things."
Li Jiayi nodded in agreement and said, "Just wait! If we really let her live in the courtyard, there will be many more such things in the future."
"No way?" Li Aimin said uncertainly.
"Why not? Her family is the only one in our courtyard that often commits petty thefts."
"That's true." Li Aimin nodded.
In fact, Li Jiayi did not finish what she said. Why did her family have this problem? It all started with the root cause.
And who is this root? Of course it is Shi Zhen!
Not only Shi Datiao, but also Shi Shangfei is the same.
He thought no one knew about it, but in fact, there were a few people who didn't know. He often stole some scrap metal from the factory and took it to the recycling station to sell, and he was caught several times.
Even if the roots are rotten, there may still be some good things elsewhere.
Li Jiayi put down his schoolbag, went into the house to wash his hands, and then came out of the house.
"Come here, son, sit down and have some tea." Li Aimin took out a small enamel mug and poured it.
"Thanks dad!"
"Why are you being so polite to Dad?"
Li Jiayi just took the jar, paused, looked at him and asked: "Dad, is there anything wrong with you?"
"It's okay! What can happen to me?"
"Well, then! I'll just assume you're alright."
"No, son. Dad does need your help with something small." Li Aimin scratched his head embarrassedly.
He felt ashamed to ask his son for help, but he had no choice, and only his son could help him.
"Dad, I don't have any money."
"Uh!" Li Aimin was stunned for a moment and said, "Son, you said you have no money, are you kidding me?"
"I really don't have any money. Besides, you haven't paid me back the money you borrowed from me before!"
"I……"
Li Aimin didn't know what to say, because Li Jiayi was telling the truth.
He still owes Li Jiayi several hundred yuan!
"Son, I don't want to lend you money." "Not want to lend you money? Then what do you want me to do for you?"
"I want to borrow a ticket from you." Li Aimin said embarrassedly.
"Sure, Dad, play the Art of War with me!"
"Kid, I don't know anything about military strategy, so how can I play tricks on you?" Li Aimin rolled his eyes at Li Jiayi.
"You used this roundabout tactic well. You knew borrowing money wouldn't work, so you started borrowing bills. What's the difference between bills and money? Just transfer it and it becomes money."
"Uh!"
"That's not right. You took four tickets from me last time, but they can be sold for a lot of money! Have you spent all that money?"
Four tickets, although the watch and radio tickets are cheaper, they can still be sold for at least two hundred yuan.
Two hundred dollars, that’s only a short time!
"Dad, you're not going to look for a half-door, are you?"
"You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about? There's no way your dad would go looking for a half-hearted one." Li Aimin glared at him and said.
Half door and half-open door have similar meanings, but there are also big differences.
A half-open door is just a place, for example, there is a half-open door in a certain place.
There could be one person or many people behind the half-open door.
But half-door is different, it refers to people, the people inside the half-open door.
"Where did you spend all that money?"
"You little brat, you bought the cloth for free! You bought the cotton for free! And you bought those things for your grandparents for free!"
"That's not right! The things I brought for my grandparents, except for the cloth and cotton, everything else was prepared by me. Why did you spend money on it?"
"Uh! Really?"
Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "Of course, otherwise call my mother over to ask."
"Forget it then."
After saying this, Li Aimin looked at him and asked, "How do you know half of this, little brat?"
"Okay, Dad, stop it. There are so many people quarreling outside every day. You can just listen and know. Why do you need to know this?"
"Uh! All right!"
Li Aimin was helpless! It was not a good thing for his son to be too smart, he could not be fooled at all.
"Son, I really need the ticket this time, and I also need the universal bicycle ticket."
"Universal bicycle ticket?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.
Of course he had the universal bicycle tickets in his hand, and he still had six or seven of them! Because the tickets were valid for a long time, he had not touched them.
I didn't expect that my dad would want this. This made him speechless. This is a general ticket! If you want a specific ticket, we can discuss it.
"Yes, the universal bicycle ticket."
"Dad, what do you want the universal bicycle ticket for?"
In the imperial capital, there is no need for universal tickets! He still has a few designated tickets, including Phoenix, Forever and Fei Ge.
"My comrade's son is getting married, and I want to give him a bicycle ticket."
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Here we go again, it was the same thing as last time."
"Son, this is different."
"What's the difference?"
"You know, when my dad was in the army, I was quite young, and many people took care of me. This comrade of mine was the same, and he took special care of me. During one charge, he walked in front of me and never came back."
"Ah! You are not going to tell me that he is dead?"
"Yes, he died. Later, when we sorted out his belongings, we found out that he had a wife and a son."
"That's it!"
"Yes! Later the regiment found his family, that is, his wife and children."
"Dad, you want a universal bicycle ticket, which means he is out of town! How do you know he is getting married?"
"Of course my comrades told me this! Otherwise, how would I know? Although we have kept in touch over the years, the contact was not frequent."
"No matter how infrequent it is, I should at least tell you about such a big thing as marriage!"
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin couldn't help but know what he was thinking. He patted him on the head and said, "Don't think badly of me, you little brat. They didn't notify us because they didn't want to trouble us."
"Okay! I'll give you the ticket, and I don't want your money."
"Really?"
"Do you want it? If not, forget it."
"Yes, yes! Why not?"
"Wait."
Li Jiayi ran back to the room after he finished speaking. In fact, this was just a cover-up. The ticket was on him, or to be exact, in the space.
Soon Li Jiayi came down from upstairs and put a universal bicycle ticket in front of Li Aimin.
"Thank you son."
"No, but Dad, when will you pay me back?"
"Uh!"
He was originally quite happy, but after hearing this, Li Aimin immediately became unhappy.
He really wanted to pay it back, but he really didn't have the money.
"Dad, you don't want to pay it back and want to default on your debt, right?" Li Jiayi asked.
"How is that possible? I will refuse to pay you, but I just don't have the money right now. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can pay it back slowly."
Just when Li Jiayi was arguing with his father in the house, people from the street office came to the yard.
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
