Chapter 175: Labor Reform, Four-Cornered Board
"Big sister, go back to class first. I want to see what Fatty wants me to do!"

"Well! You should go back to class early too."

"understood."

After the eldest sister left, Li Jiayi walked up to the little black fat man and asked, "What did you call me for?"

"Li Jiayi, I want to ask you, are you going to join the group that the teacher mentioned yesterday?"

"You are talking nonsense, aren't you? Of course I will join."

"Ah! You want to join! But you have to pay to join!"

"I know! It's not a lot of money. For you, the monthly group fee is not even enough for a day's pocket money."

At that time, junior high school students could join the league, and after joining they would be issued a membership card. The membership fee was only one dollar and twenty cents a year, or ten cents a month.

You can pay in advance or once a month, that is, pay one dollar and twenty cents at a time and you don't have to worry about it for a year.

In fact, normally speaking, he is not qualified to join the party. As for why he is not qualified, it is because he is not yet twelve years old.

Normally, those under the age of twelve can only be Young Pioneers, and only those over the age of twelve can become members of the Communist Youth League.

But he is in junior high school now and has the qualifications. Since he is qualified, why not join?

"Well, since you want to join the group, I'll join too."

"That's right. With this, it will be good for you in the future."

Joining the group is not compulsory, it is entirely up to personal will. Some people do want to join, but the one or two cents group fee keeps them out.

One dollar and twenty cents is nothing to Li Jiayi and the little black fat man, but to many people, it is a considerable sum of money.

Of course, you can also ask your family for money. Some families will give you the money without hesitation.

But some families would say: Why buy that thing? It is not suitable for eating or drinking.

But as a person of later generations, Li Jiayi knew very well that with a League membership card, he could join the Party in the future.

"Li Jiayi, how many people do you think will join the group?"

"How would I know that? Even someone like you who is not short of money doesn't want to join, so I guess there won't be too many!"

"All right!"

Li Jiaqi is a member of the group. He joined last year. The annual membership fee of one yuan and twenty cents is nothing for his family.

"By the way, Li Jiayi, it's getting hot now. I saw watermelons are already on sale in the market. When will your watermelon juice start to be sold?"

"Watermelon juice?"

Li Jia was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this before, because he had never thought about selling watermelon juice this year.

After all, watermelon is cheap!
If you want to sell something, sell something expensive.

But since the fat black guy mentioned it, I can sell some of them. At least I can earn some pocket money.

The most important thing is, there are ice cubes in his space! He can make some iced ones to sell, which should sell better!
"Yes! Watermelon juice."

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "I haven't contacted them yet. How about this, I'll contact them and see."

"Okay, I'll wait with everyone else."

"Ok!"

"Let's go back to class first."

Then the two of them returned to the classroom, and before they sat down, the class monitor came over.

"Li Jiayi, Guo Detie, have you two decided to join the group?"

"Squad leader, let's both go in." said the little black fat man.

"Well, I'll give you some writing paper so you can write your application to join the group."

"Ah! Do I still have to write an application?" The little black fat man frowned.

You can let him spend money, or even let him do anything, but just don't let him write.

This kid is a good student, but he can't write essays.

"Of course I have to write it!"

"Monitor, can I not write it?" asked the little black fat boy.

"That's definitely not possible." The squad leader shook his head and said.

Li Jiayi pulled the little black fat man and said, "The application form for joining the party is a template. When I finish writing it, you can just copy it. You just need to change the name."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the little black fat man's eyes lit up and asked, "Really?"

"Nonsense, of course it's true. Of course, you can change it a little bit."

"No need to change it, just change the name."

After the squad leader handed out the letter paper, Li Jiayi lay down on the table and started writing.

The application to join the Youth League was not as complicated as the application to join the Party, so Li Jiayi wrote it quickly and handed it to Guo Detie.

"Thank you." Guo Detie patted Li Jiayi on the shoulder.

"You're welcome. Hurry up and copy it! Class is about to start."

"Ok!"

Of course copying is faster. Anyway, he finally finished writing it before class, and then Guo Detie handed it to the class monitor.

All you have to do next is wait for the membership card to come out and then go and pay the tour fee.

Unfortunately, the tour fee can only be paid for one year at a time, otherwise Li Jiayi planned to pay for two or three years first.

At that time, you can write an application to join the party.

"stand up."

Just when Li Jiayi was thinking about something, the squad leader shouted.

"Hello teacher."

"Hello, students. Please take a seat."

After everyone sat down, the teacher picked up the textbook and said, "Students, today we will talk about..."

It's another boring day. Of course, this is what Li Jiayi is talking about. The reason why he is bored is that what the teacher talks about is too childish for him.

Who wouldn't be bored if they had to listen to the whole thing again when they already knew the answer? Anyway, this day was enjoyable, after all, there were so many classmates to play with.

The things we played in that era were very simple, such as sandbags, shuttlecock kicking, and skipping rope.

Boys like Li Jiayi basically play with four-corner boards, which are made of folded books.

It can be played by two people or by many people. Everyone puts the square board on the ground and then plays rock-paper-scissors.

Whoever wins gets to hit first, which is to throw the square board hard on the ground to create a stream of air.

Blow over other people's square boards. As long as they turn over, you win.

The more you flip over, the more you win. Li Jiayi is a master at this game!

You know, he played every day when he was a kid in his previous life! Sometimes he even tore up books and made square boards out of them.

But he doesn't need it in this life, he just needs to borrow one from the little black fat man.

During each fifteen-minute break, Li Jiayi could win at least twenty or thirty points, sometimes even more.

I don't know if this can be considered as bullying the weak.

But looking at these classmates, they seem to be much older and taller than him.

The school bell rang, and the teacher stopped teaching, closed the textbook, and said, "Okay, students, school is over now. If you have time after you go back home, please review what you learned today."

"Good teacher."

After the teacher left, everyone started packing up their books.

"Li Jiayi, I want to discuss something with you."

Just when Li Jiayi put away his books and was about to go out, the little black fat man called him.

"what's up?"

"Can you lend me some quads?"

"Borrow the square board! I thought it was something else."

Li Jiayi put his schoolbag on the desk, opened it, grabbed a few handfuls from it, handed them over and said, "These are for you. Tell me if there are not enough."

For Li Jiayi, this thing is just for fun. To say how interested he is in it, it's not like he's really that interested in it.

He was just looking for some memories. Although he was only an eleven-year-old child, he had the heart of an adult.

Yes, it is the core.

"Thank you. I will definitely return it to you when I win." After saying that, he took the square board and ran outside.

Looking at his back, Li Jiayi shook his head.

This is the mentality of a gambler! Most gamblers are like this, but they will only lose more and more.

But Li Jiayi didn't care. They were just some square boards. He didn't take them seriously and he didn't even have the intention of coming back.

Because this thing is completely useless to him, even if he takes it apart and uses it to wipe his butt, he finds it too uncomfortable.

Only the little black fat boy regards these things as treasures.

Of course, in reality, it wasn’t just the fat black boy who was like this, but all the male students were like this.

After arriving at the gate and meeting up with the eldest sister, the two of them walked back.

"Sister, the day after tomorrow is Sunday. Let's go to the department store to buy bicycles then."

"Yeah! I get it, but I don't know if I can take you."

"It's definitely no problem."

Li Jiayi still has confidence in this.

My eldest sister is thirteen years old this year. Maybe it’s because she developed early! Or maybe it’s because she ate better in the past year or so.

She is growing very fast and is now almost 1.55 meters tall, which is above the average height for women of this era.

With a height of 1.55 meters, there is definitely no problem for her to ride a women's bicycle and carry someone with her!
"Yeah!" The eldest sister nodded.

We chatted and laughed along the way and soon returned to the gate of Yard No. 7.

Just then, two police officers came towards us. They seemed to be coming to Yard No. 7 as well.

Li Jiayi pulled his elder sister and let the two police officers go in first.

Watching the two police officers go in, Li Jiayi quickly pulled her elder sister and said, "Sister, let's go in and watch the excitement."

"What are you looking at?" the eldest sister asked in confusion.

"You'll know right away."

Just as Li Jiayi thought, as soon as the two men walked into the front yard, they saw two police officers standing at the door of the Shi family.

Shi Shangfei and his wife Tao Huiyun stood opposite the two police officers.

"Are you Zhen Xiang's family members?" asked a police officer.

Zhen Xiang is Shi Zhen's real name, and the police will not call her by her husband's name.

What era is it now? How can we still have the things from the past?

"Yes, Public Security Comrade, I am her son."

"Okay, we are here to inform you that Zhen Xiang stole someone's food and was sentenced to three months of labor reform and must pay two yuan in compensation to the person whose food was stolen."

"Okay comrade, we will definitely actively compensate you."

He actually wanted to be passive, but if he did that, Shi Zhen might have to do labor reform for a few more months.

This is no joke. As long as Shi Shangfei dares not to pay compensation, no matter who in Cheng Qiaoyun's family goes to the police station and reports it, Shi Zhen will have to do labor reform for a few more months.

"Okay, the verdict has been delivered, hurry up and send her a quilt."

"Ok."

Now in labor reform, everything you wear and use must be sent by your family.

After the police left, Shi Shangfei hurried back to the house and took out two dollars to compensate Cheng Qiaoyun's family.

　PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
