Chapter 179: Old Li's Good Parenting
He didn't expect that Li Jiayi still had some in his hands, and it seemed like a lot.
If there are fewer, it would be impossible to buy two bicycles of the same brand at once.
"Son, would you like some tea?"
"No, I'm going upstairs first."
Li Jiayi didn't give Li Aimin any chance to speak and ran upstairs directly.
Li Aimin downstairs shook his head and said, "This kid runs really fast."
How could he not run? If he didn't run, he would be eaten up. How could he not run?
If it were someone else, they would probably run faster.
After lunch, Li Jiayi left home and went straight to his master's house.
I haven't been to Master's house for a while, and I don't know how Master and Sister are doing now.
It just so happens that I'm not going to Pigeon Market today, so I came over to take a look and give something to Master.
Without a sled, Li Jiayi had to walk wherever he went, which wasted a lot of time.
Look, it took him more than 40 minutes to reach the destination, which was supposed to be a journey of more than ten minutes.
He could take the bus, but taking the bus is not necessarily faster than walking.
The main reason is that there is no direct bus to here, and you have to transfer and it will be a long detour, so you can only walk here.
When he arrived here, Li Jiayi entered an alley next to it, and when he came out he was carrying a lot of things in his hands.
Now that the weather is hot, he didn't bring much meat, just two pounds of pork belly and a white-striped chicken.
This was all the meat he brought for his master today.
You can’t bring too much meat, but you can bring other things!
A bucket of Golden Rooster biscuits, two pounds of peach cakes, a can of White Rabbit milk candy, and a bottle of royal jelly.
Five pounds of apples, five pounds of peaches, five pounds of tangerines, and five pounds of walnuts.
He didn't bring any rice or flour this time because he brought a lot last time, and there were only him and his senior sister at the master's house, so they couldn't finish it.
Don't forget that Master and Senior Sister already have a quota. Even if they don't have a quota, the rice and flour he sent over would be enough.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Li Jiayi pinched the door knocker and knocked a few times.
The door opened quickly and it was my senior sister who opened it.
"Hey, Junior Brother, it's you! Come in quickly."
"Senior sister, you are beautiful again."
"Go, smooth talker."
Only Li Jiayi can say this, no one else can.
Others say that's being a hooligan, but he says others just think he's cute.
Yes, it’s because of his age. When a ten-year-old kid says this, who would think he is being a hooligan?
"Is Master here?"
"Yes, today is Sunday, how could he not be here?"
"That's right." Li Jia nodded.
Then I followed my senior sister into the house, where my master was sitting drinking tea.
"coming?"
After asking, he saw the large and small bags that Li Jiayi was carrying, frowned and said, "Why did you bring so many things again?"
"Master, not much."
"Not much yet!" Li Shugen shook his head and said, "Take the food back. There is still a lot left from what you brought last time!"
"Master, I brought it all here, why am I taking it back? How about this, I won't bring it next time."
"Oh! You can take these things back and feed your family!" Li Shugen said helplessly.
"Master, my family doesn't lack these things."
"Uh!"
Li Shugen didn't know what to say. Yes! Li Jiayi could bring so many things, could his family be short of them?
"Okay, just this once and for all."
"I understand, Master."
Li Jiayi thought to himself, it probably won’t take long, and if I don’t send it to you by then, you might still come to me.
Of course, he wouldn't say this out loud, as long as he knew it in his heart.
Li Jiayi put all the things on the eight-immortals table, just enough to fill up the entire table.
Although there aren't many things, they all take up space.
"What's the matter with you coming here this time?" Li Shugen asked.
"It's okay! Isn't today Sunday? I haven't been here for a while, so I came to see you and Senior Sister."
"I see! I thought you came here for something."
"It's okay, what can I do?"
"Since everything is fine, don't leave this afternoon and have dinner here tonight."
"Master, this may not work. I came to your place for no reason. I just wanted to see you and my senior sister, but I have other things to do."
Hearing him say this, Li Shugen shook his head and said, "You are just a little kid, what important things do you have to do?"
"Master, it's not important, I just have to go see another elder."
"Uh!"
Li Shugen didn't know what to say. Could he say that visiting the elders was not important? Of course not.
"Okay, in that case, Master won't keep you for dinner."
"Ok!"
After chatting with his master for about half an hour, Li Jiayi came out of his master's house.
Then he walked towards the military compound.
Fortunately, Master’s house is not far from the military compound, only about ten minutes’ walk away.
The guards were still the same people as before. When they saw him coming, they let him in directly, which saved a lot of trouble.
Li Jiayi came directly to the door of Old Li's house with a lot of bags. As soon as he arrived, Li Jiayi saw a fight scene.
Just look at Li Kang holding a stick and chasing Li Jian to beat him.
Old Li was sitting at the door of the building, watching, and even yelling, "Look how stupid you are, kid. Give him some dirty tricks."
"You kid, swing the stick in a round shape, don't let him get close to you."
"Right, that is it."
"You little bastard, don't you know that an inch longer is an inch stronger? You have a stick in your hand, so what are you afraid of?"
"Yes, hit him on the head and defeat him with one move."
To be honest, Li Jiayi felt ashamed when he heard what Lao Li said!
No wonder Lao Li was so fierce in fighting. When the two brothers were fighting, he not only did not care, but also stood by and gave advice.
"Old Li, what a refined taste! You are bringing the fighting styles you learned in the army to your home."
"Hey, hey, that's it. Why are you here at this time?"
"Come and see you! See if you are still full of energy?"
"Of course. Old Li is always full of energy."
"Okay, you're awesome."
"Come on, go inside."
"Then the two of them..."
"Don't worry about them. These little bastards are full of energy. Just let them fight! Nothing serious will happen."
"Uh!"
Nothing serious will happen, but you will definitely get bruised and battered.
I just don’t know if Aunt Tian is at home. She probably isn’t, otherwise this wouldn’t happen.
"You are still so polite." Old Li said as he looked at the things Li Jiayi placed on the coffee table.
"You can't come here empty-handed! It's just a worthless thing, don't mind it."
"Fuck you, you are slandering me! These things are not worth much."
Old Li didn't know what to say. There were Golden Rooster biscuits, White Rabbit milk candies, apples, peaches, walnuts, and so many chestnuts.
Yes, Li Jiayi did not bring any tangerines for Lao Li.
This is because the sugar oranges were taken back from here, and then Li Jiayi planted a handful of seeds, and only then did the sugar oranges appear in the space.
No tangerines were used, but Li Jiayi filled a large net bag with chestnuts.
Of course, meat is also essential, two pounds of pork belly, and a goose, because Mr. Li’s family is large, and one chicken might not be enough.
"It's not worth anything in the first place!" Li Jiayi said, spreading his hands.
To him, these things were indeed worthless. Except for the Golden Rooster biscuits and White Rabbit milk candies, the rest were taken out from the space. What was their value?
"Okay! You are a local rich man. In your eyes, these are really worthless."
Of course, this is just a metaphor. In Lao Li's eyes, the local rich are the richest.
At this moment, the two brothers Li Jian and Li Kang came in from outside. Just as Li Jiayi thought, both of them had bruised faces and noses.
Although Li Jian was a few years older than Li Kang, Li Kang had a stick in his hand, so Li Jian couldn't get close to him at all.
"Are you done fighting?" Old Li asked when he saw the two brothers coming in.
The two brothers lowered their heads and said nothing, but their meaning was very clear, that is, the fight was over, otherwise they would not have come back.
"After the fight, stand over there. I won't let you move. No one is allowed to move." Lao Li said, pointing at a wall.
The two brothers walked over obediently and stood straight facing the wall.
"You little bastard, if you don't punish him for three days, he will tear the roof off the house."
Li Jiayi is speechless! You didn't care when we were fighting, and you were still there to give advice. Now that the fight is over, you start to interfere again.
However, judging from the movements of Li Jian and Li Kang, they must do this often, otherwise they wouldn't be so skilled.
"Xiao Li, do you know about the reduction in grain production?" Old Li turned around and asked.
"Yes! I know!" Li Jia nodded.
"I think you should know whether we should stock up some food?" asked Lao Li.
"I have stockpiled a lot of it. If you need it, I can get some for you."
"No, there is enough food at home for now."
"Well! Tell me when you don't have enough to eat."
As a person from later generations, he knew very well what happened to Old Li later.
In 1959, Mr. Li's ration was reduced to 27 kilograms per month.
The rations for the family members were also reduced accordingly. You know, there is a mother named Zhang in their family who has no ration!
In order to save food for Aunt Zhang, Lao Li set his own ration at twenty-one kilograms.
Old Li, who could originally eat four steamed buns in one meal, reduced his food ration to half a pound a day and drank water when he was hungry.
When I joined the army, I would feel black and see stars after climbing a small hill.
This makes him look weak every day.
After Zhang Ma found out about this, she went on a hunger strike, which scared the Li family.
You know, Zhang's mother has been in their family for more than ten years! She is not much different from her own family.
Finally, the four members of the Li family knelt on the ground and asked Li Jian and Li Kang to recognize Zhang Ma as their grandmother. Only then was Zhang Ma able to eat and survive.
It can also be seen from here how serious the food shortage is.
But that won’t happen in this life. As long as Li Jiayi is around, the Li family will never go hungry.
Li Jiayi can't help everyone, but it's no problem for him to help some people around him.
There's nothing he can do about it, since his farm is so small, with only six acres of land.
In fact, even if the farm is big, he can't help everyone, he can't help everyone.
Li Jiayi is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person.
