Chapter 201 Taking Grandpa Out for a Ride

"Grandma, my brother is so partial. He usually doesn't even want to give me these Golden Rooster Biscuits."

Grandma laughed and said, "I won't give you any food, grandson. It must be because you are too greedy."

"Grandma, why are you like this?" Li Jialin stamped her feet and said.

"What's up, granddaughter? Did grandma say something wrong?"

Ye Xin added, "Mom, you're right, this girl is just greedy."

Soon all the things on the tricycle were unloaded, and just when the old man sat on it and was ready to leave, my uncle and his family came over.

I must have heard from others that they were coming, so I came to take a look.

"Second brother, is your sister-in-law back?"

"Big brother."

"Uncle!"

"You're all back." The uncle said to Li Jiayi and his three siblings with a smile.

"Yes uncle."

After everyone greeted each other, the uncle asked, "Where are you going?"

"Uncle, grandpa is going to try out my tricycle. I'm going to take him for a spin in the commune."

"To the commune?"

According to my uncle, if he went to the commune at this time, he would probably come back in the afternoon.

"Ok!"

"Brother Jiayi, I also want to go to the commune." Cousin Li Jiafen came over and took his arm and said.

"Okay, get in the car!"

"I want to go too." Li Chenghou also hurried to the car.

Next is Li Chengqian.

"Dad, let's go then. You can chat with uncle."

"Got it, come back soon."

"it is good."

Li Jiayi kicked the tricycle and drove outside.

Li Aiguo pointed at the departing tricycle and asked in surprise: "Aimin, this one runs on oil!"

"Yup!"

"You did it?" Li Aiguo thought that only his younger brother had this ability.

"How can I do that? This is Jia Yi's doing."

Hearing what Li Aimin said, the uncle shook his head and said, "Jiayi is such an amazing kid."

At this time, Ye Xin said, "Mom, it's getting late. My sister-in-law and I are going to cook. You can rest here."

"Let's do it together! I'm tired enough from running so far, and now I want you to help with the cooking."

"Mom, I'm not tired. Why should I be tired from riding in a car?"

As for Li Jiayi, he took his grandfather, two cousins ​​and one cousin and headed towards the commune.

As for the eldest and second sisters, they did not come along. For them, there was nothing fun in the commune.

And my eldest sister has to stay and help with cooking.

"Wow! Jiayi, this tricycle runs so fast." Li Chengqian shouted loudly.

"Brother, sit tight and don't fall down."

"understood."

"Grandson, how long does it take to get from home to the commune?" asked the old man.

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "About twenty minutes!"

"So fast?" the old man asked in surprise.

You know, it takes more than two hours to take a bullock cart, but this tricycle can get there in just 20 minutes.

"Grandpa, you can't compare this with a bullock cart, it's so fast!"

The old man nodded and said, "That's true."

Just as Li Jiayi said, we arrived at the commune in about twenty minutes.

Li Chengqian is better off because he is currently studying in the commune and is relatively familiar with it.

Even Li Chenghou had been to the commune before, but Li Jiafen was different, as it was his first time to come to the commune.

Everything feels so fresh and better than what it looks in the village.

Just at this time, there was a shop selling jelly in front, and Li Jiayi drove his tricycle over.

"Give me five bowls of jelly."

The jelly at this time is similar to the cold noodles of later generations, but also different.

The jelly at this time is made from real pea flour, combed into strips with a comb, and can be eaten directly with salted garlic paste.

It tastes really good and the jelly is chewy, making it a rare snack.

It is only available in rural communes, and you would never even think of it in the city.

And because it is made by ordinary people at home, no tickets are required. It’s just not cheap, costing 20 cents a bowl.

Of course, the main reason is that the bowl is bigger, unlike the small bowl.

Soon the shop owner prepared five bowls and poured mashed garlic on them.

"Come on, Grandpa. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to eat pea jelly? How about trying it?"

"Okay, I'll try it."

Then Li Jiayi also sat down and took a bite. It tasted really good.

"Brother Jiayi, it's delicious."

Li Jiayi touched the little girl's head and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. If it's not enough, ask for another bowl."

"Enough is enough."

Soon, several people finished eating the jelly. Li Jiayi paid one yuan, turned around and asked, "What else do you want to eat?"

"No need, brother Jiayi." Li Chengqian said quickly.

You know, the jelly he just ate cost 20 cents. If he had known it was so expensive, he would not have eaten it.

Two cents may mean nothing to Li Jiayi, but to his two cousins, it is a considerable amount of money.

"It's okay, big brother. Just tell me what you want to eat. I have money." "Grandson, I remember there is a dog meat shop at the east end of the commune. Go buy some! But I'll pay for it."

"No need, grandpa. Let me give it to you!" After saying that, Li Jiayi started the tricycle and drove towards the east end of the commune.

But I looked around and didn't see it.

"Grandpa, no!"

“Maybe it’s closed!”

"possible."

After failing to buy dog ​​meat, Li Jiayi did not go back directly, but wandered around the commune.

Unfortunately, I went around the whole place and didn't find anything delicious.

Finally, Li Jiayi parked the tricycle in front of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Jiayi turned around and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want? I'll go buy some for you."

"No, I don't want anything. I'd like to see what your brother and sister want. Can you help buy them some?"

"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded and got off the tricycle.

"Brother, brother, sister, let's go! Let's go in and take a look. Just tell me what you want."

"No, I don't want anything." Cousin Li Chengqian shook his head and said.

"I don't want it either."

"It's okay, I have money."

"Add one brother, we really don't want it."

Not only the two cousins, but even the cousin Li Jiafen looked conflicted. She did have something she wanted, but she didn't want her brother Jiayi to spend money.

Li Jiayi saw through it, so he picked up his cousin and said, "Since the eldest and second brothers don't want it, let's go, Brother Jiayi will buy it for you."

The two of them came to the supply and marketing cooperative, and looking at the dazzling array of things inside, Li Jiafen was a little dazzled.

It was the first time she saw so many things for sale.

"Jiafen, what do you want?"

"Brother Jiayi, I want a hairband."

"You want a hair tie? No problem."

Li Jiayi turned around and asked the salesperson: "Auntie, do you have hairbands for sale?"

"Yes, what color do you want?"

“Are there a lot of colors?”

"Yes!"

"Then get a few of each color."

"Brother Jiayi, just one will be enough." Li Jiafen quickly pulled Li Jiayi's hand and said.

"It's okay. When you buy it back, put it away and take it out when you need it."

"But……"

"It's okay, Brother Jiayi has money."

In the end, Li Jiayi not only bought her a hairband, but also a hairbrush and a comb, and even two handkerchiefs.

Although handkerchiefs required cloth coupons, this was nothing to Li Jiayi.

He had no shortage of these things, and in the end he bought her a lot of snacks, basically the kind that didn't require tickets.

Because those who need tickets already have them at home, such as White Rabbit Milk Candy and Golden Rooster Biscuits.

Of course, Li Jiayi did not forget the old man and bought him a few packs of Qianjin cigarettes.

These cigarettes are cheap, so no ticket is needed. As for those that require tickets, he has a lot in his space, and he brought some with him this time.

It’s a pity that the old man couldn’t bear to smoke good cigarettes, which is why he bought a few more packs of Qianjin cigarettes.

Of course, he did not forget his two cousins ​​and bought them a lot of pens and notebooks, so at least he didn't need to buy them when he went to school.

In the future, if you gave these things to others, they might hate you for the rest of their lives, but in this era, there is no student who doesn't like these.

After paying the money, Li Jiayi held the things and said to his cousin who was holding a hairband and a hairpin and grinning, "Let's go!"

"Okay, Brother Jiayi."

When he got back to the tricycle and saw what Li Jiayi had bought, the old man said, "You little bastard, you only know how to spend money. Why did you buy so many things?"

“Grandpa, it didn’t cost much!”

"You!"

He had already learned from his second son that his eldest grandson was very capable and could spin in circles, so Li Laogen didn't say much.

He finally realized that his eldest grandson was not only good at making money, but also good at spending money.

These things cannot be bought without spending ten or eight dollars.

For Li Laogen, spending ten or eight yuan just to go out on the street is really unacceptable.

It is not easy for rural people to make money! After working hard for a year, in addition to earning some food, it is already a lot to earn a few dozen yuan.

And these dozens of dollars need to be saved for future use, so it can be said that not much money will be spent throughout the year.

For example, my eldest grandson earns ten or eight yuan for each trip to the street, and the money he earns in a year is not enough to pay for the trips.

"Brother, does my hairband look good? Brother Jiayi bought it for me." Li Jiafen said with concern.

"It looks good." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Li Jiayi knew that within a day, the whole village would know that he bought a hairband for the little girl.

This thing is nothing to city people and doesn't cost much, but it is very precious to rural children.

Because few people in rural areas spend money to buy hairbands for their children, so just find anything to tie them on.

"Grandpa, do you want to buy anything else?" Li Jiayi asked.

"There's nothing to buy, go back quickly!" The old man was really afraid that his eldest grandson would spend money again!

"Well, since there's nothing to buy, let's go back. I guess the meal will be almost ready by the time we get back."

"Well! Let's go."

Li Jiayi started the tricycle and rushed back. At this time, Li Laogen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he has a good heart, otherwise he would have had a heart attack.
