Chapter 174 The Problem is Serious

Liao Kai curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with drinking? I started drinking when I was not even as old as you."

"Uncle Liao, we are different. I am going to go to a technical secondary school."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kai put down his wine glass and pretended to hit Li Jiayi.

"You kid, you mean to say that I, Uncle Liao, am illiterate!"

Liao Kai is not illiterate. Even if he has never been to school, Li Jiayi dare not say that he is illiterate.

Just kidding, let’s not talk about Liao Kai’s cooking skills, just the antiques he plays with are so good that only an illiterate person can play with them.

That requires a lot of knowledge!

Besides, Liao Kai did go to school, and it was a private school, which he attended until the class division in 1952.

It was 1959 and Liao Kai was 26 years old, which meant that he was still in school at the age of 19.

He doesn't have that piece of paper, but he is not without culture.

"Okay, Uncle Liao, no more jokes, I just don't want to drink right now."

"Okay! By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?" Liao Kai asked as he threw a peanut into his mouth.

Looking at the few peanuts left on the plate, Li Jia grabbed them one by one.

"Leave two for me, kid."

"Uncle Liao, it's just a few peanuts! Why do you care?"

"What do you know, kid? Peanuts are really hard to buy." Liao Kai shook his head with a wry smile.

It’s not that the supply and marketing cooperative doesn’t have peanuts, nor that Liao Kai doesn’t have money, it’s mainly because you need a ticket to buy peanuts.

"You came to me! Didn't I tell you before? Just let me know if you need anything."

"Huh! Can you get peanuts?" Liao Kai asked in surprise.

"What can't I get when you ask that? It's just peanuts. How many do you want?"

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kai shook his head and said, "You are really good! How much more do you want?"

"Yes! I can't say if it's more than that, but I can get you 100 or 80 kilograms anytime."

Li Jiayi's words made Liao Kai open his mouth wide.

One hundred or eighty kilograms, and it can be obtained at any time, how could he not be surprised.

He bought a pound and a half pound, and had to beg and plead with others to exchange the tickets. When he got to Li Jiayi, it was already over a hundred or eighty pounds.

"Are you serious, kid?"

"Uncle Liao, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Oh! Not really."

"That's it. I'll tell you, you can ask for anything you need in the future, but there is one thing: what you want can only be for yourself."

Liao Kai rolled his eyes at Li Jiayi and said, "I'm stupid! I'm asking for things for others."

"You're not stupid. I'm just afraid that you'll be bewitched by someone!"

"Go away, go away, who can charm me?"

Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Old girl, young wife."

"Uh!"

You have to know that Liao Kai is already 26 years old. In this era, there are probably only a few people in the entire capital who are still unmarried at his age.

After all, people get married relatively early in this era, and this is only because of the marriage law.

The Marriage Law stipulates that men should marry at the age of 20 and women at the age of 18, but otherwise, people can get married even earlier. It is not uncommon for people to get married at the age of 15 or 16.

Liao Kai is already 26 years old, and he doesn’t even have a partner, let alone getting married.

I guess he must be in a hurry! It's not that he's in a hurry to get married, but he's in a hurry to continue the family line.

You have to know that he is the only child in their family. If the family line is not passed down, it will be cut off.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me what you want from me?"

"Uncle Liao, nothing much, I just want to ask you, has your cafeteria changed compared to before?"

"Changes?" Liao Kai thought for a moment and said, "You know what, there really are changes."

"Oh! What's changed?"

"The rest is the canteen warehouse. I found that this month's food is much less than last month."

"A lot less?"

"Yeah! At least 10% less."

"What about other things? Are there any other changes?" Li Jiayi continued to ask.

Liao Kai shook his head and said, "There is no other change. As you know, our canteen cooks according to the amount of food in the warehouse. If there is less food in the warehouse, then of course the amount of food we cook will be reduced accordingly."

Li Jiayi knew that the higher-ups would give the woolen mill a certain amount of grain every month.

The canteen cooks according to the amount of food.

Let me give you a very simple example. For example, there are thirty days in this month, and thirty kilograms of food are delivered.

Then the canteen divided the 30 kilograms of food into 30 portions, one kilogram each, and made one portion every day.

If only 27 kilograms are delivered this month, then it should be divided into 30 portions, 9 taels each, one portion per day.

"Okay! Uncle Liao, if possible, you should store more food. The more the better."

"You kid, you want to drain Uncle Liao dry! Ever since I listened to you, I have been running to the Pigeon Market every Sunday to buy food coupons first, and then go to the grain station to buy food. Now Uncle Liao has enough food."

Liao Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head. How could he believe what Li Jiayi said?

"Is there enough food? Why don't I see it?" Li Jiayi asked as he looked around the room.

"Who told you that it was at home?"

"Uh!"

Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Liao Kai and asked, "Uncle Liao, you wouldn't put the grain in my cellar, would you?"

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kai smiled and said, "You are really smart."

"Uncle Liao, you are really great!"

"Hehehe, just so-so."

"But Uncle Liao, when you put the grain there, did anyone know?" Liao Kai shook his head and said, "Except your father, no one knows. Now you are one of them."

"Well! If that's the case, just leave it there! If anyone else finds out, we'll have to move to another place immediately."

Liao Kai touched Li Jiayi's forehead and said, "What's wrong with you today? Why do you feel weird?"

"Uncle Liao, you are right to listen to me. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. It's getting late. I want to go back to bed."

"Okay, let's go back. By the way, don't forget to bring me some peanuts."

"Don't worry, it's definitely not less than ten kilograms."

When they got home, Li Aimin and Ye Xin had not yet rested. They were sitting at the octagonal table drinking tea.

"You're back, son."

"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded and said, "Dad, I just went to Uncle Liao's house. Guess what Uncle Liao said?"

"say what?"

Uncle Liao said that the amount of food in the canteen warehouse was at least 10% less than last month.

"What, 10% less?" Li Aimin asked in surprise.

"Ok!"

Li Aimin was born into a military family, and he knew very well what it meant to have 10% less food.

Because such things often happen in the army, it is actually very normal. After all, at that time, everything had to be captured by oneself.

It is normal to be hungry and cold. At this time, if the food supply is reduced by 10%, you can imagine what it would be like.

"It looks like something really went wrong."

Ye Xin asked at this time: "Is it that serious?"

Li Jiayi nodded quickly and said, "Mom, yes, it's definitely very serious."

"Okay! It's none of my business anyway."

"Uh!"

Li Jia was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his mother had such a sense of humor.

Is this something she can control?

"Okay, son, go back to your room and sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow." Ye Xin said.

"it is good."

Li Jiayi went upstairs, locked the door from the inside, and then entered the space.

Now all the farms in the space are planted with food, and nothing else is grown.

Even the menu includes winter melon and pumpkin because they have higher yields.

She is not planning to feed it to pigs, but to eat it.

It’s just a pity that the farm in the space is only six acres. It would be great if it could be increased to sixty acres.

But this is impossible. From the time the space was obtained to now, there has been no change in the space.

In other words, this is not a space for growth, at least so far.

After collecting what he needed to collect, Li Jiayi took a shower and went to bed.

Silent all night.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to do some boxing and then take a shower.

When Li Jiayi came out of the space refreshed, he just started to eat breakfast.

After dinner, Li Jiayi took a coat and put it on because it was cold on the way to school.

"Big sister, this is the kettle for you. Second sister, this is yours." Li Jia handed the kettle to his two sisters.

The kettle is filled with spiritual spring water! The same is true for Li Aimin and Ye Xin's kettles.

"Come on, little brother, let's go first." The eldest sister said after taking the kettle.

"Ok!"

"By the way, sister, can you ride a bicycle?"

"Yes! What's the matter?"

What Li Jiayi asked was nonsense. His family had a bicycle, so how could anyone in his family not know how to ride a bicycle?

Just find some time to practice and you will probably be able to do it in a few days.

"If you can, then I'll buy you a women's bicycle on Sunday, and you have to take me to school every day from now on."

"Uh!" Li Jiaqi was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Jiayi and asked: "Brother, you are not going to buy a bicycle just because you don't want to walk, right?"

"What's the matter? What's the problem?"

Yes! What's the problem? It's not like he can't afford it, nor does he have a ticket. In that case, why not buy one for everyone to ride?

"Brother, Mom doesn't have a bicycle yet! Even if you want to buy one, you should buy one for Mom first."

"Then just buy two, one for you and one for my mother."

Li Jiayi's words left Li Jiaqi speechless.

This is about buying a bicycle, not going to the vegetable market to buy cabbage.

A women's bicycle costs more than two hundred yuan, and two bicycles cost at least four hundred yuan. Yet she bought them without hesitation for so much money.

To be honest, Li Jiaqi knew that his brother was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so rich.

"Sister, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

"It's okay, hurry up, the bell will ring soon."

"it is good."

After rushing and hurrying, I finally entered the school before the bell rang.

"Li Jiayi, here."

As soon as he entered the school, he heard the little black fat boy calling him.

He quickly turned his head and saw the little black fat man waving at him.
