Chapter 202: Tangled, Shocked
Chapter 202: Tangled, Shocked
Twenty minutes later, Li Jiayi drove a tricycle into the yard.
There are only two brothers, Li Aiguo and Li Aimin, in the courtyard, and Li Jialin.
The two brothers were chatting, and Li Jialin was sitting next to them eating melon seeds.
As for the old lady, mother, aunt and elder sister, they were cooking in the kitchen.
As soon as the tricycle came to a complete stop, Li Jiafen ran down from it and went straight into the kitchen, shouting, "Mom, Brother Jiayi bought me a hair band, a hairbrush, and a handkerchief."
"Really? Then did you thank Brother Jiayi?"
"Of course I thanked him, but Brother Jiayi said no, because I'm the younger sister, so there's no need to thank me."
"Xiao Xin! You need to take care of Jiayi. He spends money too lavishly." said the old lady.
"Mom, we want to control him too! But this kid is better at making money than spending it. A few hundred dollars is nothing to him."
"What? He makes money?" the old lady asked in surprise.
"Yes, and he never asked us for money. Sometimes he even gave money to his family. I have more than a thousand yuan from him, and Aimin has borrowed several hundred yuan from him."
"Hush, wait, so you didn't give him any money when he came here last summer?"
"No! He doesn't ask his family for money! He earns his own money."
"Oh my goodness, so the money he gave your father last year was all his own."
"Give my dad money?" Ye Xin asked doubtfully.
"Yes! He asked your father to buy food and store it. He gave your father more than a thousand yuan! He asked your father and your eldest brother to buy food."
"Ah! I don't know that!"
"This kid even told us that he asked you for the money, but it turned out to be his own money."
"should be."
"No, this money must be returned to my eldest grandson in the future. If your father and I can't pay it back, you must pay it back too."
Li Jiaqi, who was cooking, said, "Grandma, my little brother has money. I guess he doesn't take the money I gave you seriously at all."
"So don't even think about paying it back. If he asks you to pay it back, you probably won't give it back."
Others may not know how much money Li Jiayi can earn in a day, but Li Jiaqi knows something about it.
It's just that she kept her mouth shut and never told anyone, including her parents.
Ye Xin looked at Li Jiaqi and asked, "Do you know something?"
"Mom, what do I know? I know nothing, just like you."
Thinking of her eldest daughter's character and the fact that she never lied, Ye Xin didn't ask any more questions.
I guess she would never have thought that Li Jiaqi was not lying, but it depends on who this person is.
She would not tell anyone about her younger brother's affairs, including her parents.
"Forget it, since it's the child's own money, let him spend it!" said the old lady.
"Mom! Aimin and I never did anything about it, and we couldn't do anything about it. He gave his eldest sister and second sister pocket money, and they were all five or ten yuan."
"How much?" the old lady asked in surprise.
Five or ten yuan, she doesn't spend five or ten yuan a year! This includes the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home.
Ye Xin pointed at Li Jiaqi and said, "Sister-in-law, just ask this girl and you'll know. Adding one to her gives her the most."
Seeing that the question was directed to him, Li Jiaqi didn't even raise his head and started to concentrate on cooking.
On Li Jiayi's side, after parking the tricycle, he came to his father and uncle, picked up a clean enamel pot, put a handful of tea leaves from the tea can into it, and then poured boiling water on it.
Seeing his action, not only the old man's mouth twitched, but also Li Aimin and Li Aiguo.
This is good tea! Every time the old man brews tea, he always takes a little bit, and of course they do the same.
How could Li Jiayi not know that this was good tea? Of course he knew, because this tea was the spiritual tea he gave to the old man.
In the past, because there was less, we had to drink it sparingly, but after a year of picking.
In addition to what was drunk, there were still fifty or sixty kilograms of fried food left in the static space.
Although only two taels of this magical tea can be fried from the tea picked in one day, it is still a lot in a year!
Even this is the amount he used to give away, otherwise there would be much more. Now, except for the spiritual spring water he drinks when he goes out, all he drinks at home is spiritual tea.
Of course, the amount used is also quite a lot.
"Son, why don't you put less? Look how worried your grandfather is." Li Aimin glanced at his father and said to Li Jiayi.
"It's okay, Grandpa. I'll give you two more cans later."
"Hahaha, it's okay, my eldest grandson can drink if he likes it." The old man said happily.
"Son, I don't have much tea left, do you think..."
"Dad, wait until you finish drinking."
"Uh!"
How can they be treated differently? Shouldn't they be given two bottles in return?
Li Jiayi turned around and said to his uncle: "Uncle, I will give you a can later."
"Okay, okay, thank you, my nephew."
"Need not."
"Nephew, this tea tastes so good, it must be expensive, right?" Li Aiguo asked.
"It's not expensive, a few hundred yuan per pound!"
"How much... how much?"
"Several hundred yuan a pound! What's the matter?"
"Grandson, how many hundred yuan do you think this tea costs per pound?" asked the old man.
"Yeah! What's the matter?" "Prodigal son!"
Li Aimin was so shocked that he was speechless. Although he knew that the tea was good, he never expected it to be so expensive.
In fact, Li Jiayi said that a few hundred yuan per pound was too little. If it were really sold out, it would probably be snatched away by others at a few hundred yuan per pound.
This is especially true for people who have been drinking for a period of time.
You should know that this thing has the same effect as spiritual spring water!
The reason why their family didn’t notice anything was mainly because they had been eating and drinking spiritual spring water.
The same goes for grandpa. Although he hasn't come here many times in the past year, when he was here, everything he ate and drank was spiritual spring water!
Otherwise, my grandparents wouldn’t be in such good health.
My grandparents have always thought that their health improved because they ate better this year, but that’s not the case.
Grandpa came up and picked up the tea can, saying, "From now on, you two are not allowed to touch my tea leaves."
Of course, these words were directed at Li Aiguo and Li Aimin.
"Dad, you are too stingy! I just drank some tea from you, didn't I tell you to add one more can? I will give you two cans later."
"What two cans?"
After he finished speaking, Li Laogen turned around and said, "Grandson, don't buy this tea in the future. If you drink this expensive tea, you will be struck by lightning."
"Uh! Grandpa, it's not as serious as you say. Although this tea is expensive, it is good for your health. Haven't you noticed that you and grandma have been getting better and better in the past year?"
"What! Are you saying that your grandma and I are getting better and better because of this tea?"
"Otherwise!"
"This……"
Li Laogen is very conflicted! On one hand, his eldest grandson has to spend hundreds of yuan to buy a kilogram of tea, and on the other hand, he has to worry about his health.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'm not short of money! It's just some tea."
"My dear nephew, forget about my tea leaves. I am still young and in good health. I don't need them for the time being."
"It's okay, uncle. It's just a can of tea."
Li Laogen glanced at his eldest son and said, "Just take it. It's a gift from your nephew."
"Oh!"
"Hehehe, forget it. There's never a shortage of tea at home." Li Aimin said.
But what he said was true. Although Li Jiayi didn't give him much tea, there was never a shortage of tea at home!
Because Li Jiayi's tea leaves are always kept in the living room, anyone who wants to drink can make some.
I didn’t know this before and often treated others to tea. Now that I know, I have to lock up the tea in the office.
In fact, it was because of this that Li Jiayi did not give him so much.
Otherwise, he would invite people to drink tea every day! If that were the case, no matter how much money he made, it would not be enough.
This is a magical tea! No other kind of tea can compare with it, and as for its value, it can be said to be priceless.
Li Laogen took the tea can into the house and put it away. He came out, walked up to Li Jiayi and said, "Grandson, you made so much tea, share some with grandpa."
Li Jiayi helplessly poured the tea water into his grandfather's jar and refilled it with boiling water.
"Grandpa, this thing is not that precious. Just drink it when you need it. If you don't have it, I'll give you more."
"I know, but I'll save as much as I can."
"All right!"
At this time, the second sister came over and said, "Brother, let me drink some of your tea."
"Uh! Second sister, don't you dislike drinking tea?"
"Can't I drink now?"
"Okay, drink it!" Li Jiayi handed over the jar, then took the kettle and took a few sips.
The kettle is filled with spiritual spring water, which is no different from drinking spiritual tea.
The reason why he brewed tea was because he wanted to drink it, not because the spiritual spring water was inferior to the spiritual tea.
"Hey, this tea is really delicious!" said Li Jialin.
In fact, this is just a psychological effect. If it really tastes so good, why didn't she drink it before!
Whenever he was at home, he would brew tea in a large enamel mug, but he never saw her drink it once.
Li Jialin was seen eating melon seeds and drinking tea, looking very comfortable.
Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "Second sister, you should eat less melon seeds! You may get angry."
It is true that eating melon seeds can easily cause getting a sore throat, especially in summer.
"Why are you so angry about eating melon seeds?"
"Uh!"
If she hadn't drunk spiritual spring water every day, she would have gotten a sore throat long ago, given the way she was eating melon seeds.
"My daughter! Your brother is right. Eating melon seeds can easily cause getting a sore throat," said Li Aimin.
"Okay then, I'll eat less next time."
Just at this moment, grandma came out of the house carrying a pot of food.
Normally, we don’t use basins at my grandma’s house, but today there are too many people and the plates are too small.
In fact, it’s because there are not many dishes, only two, and if they are not cooked enough, they will not be enough to eat.
However, both dishes contain meat, which is the bacon and pickled meat brought today. Grandma was willing to give it away today and cut off two large pieces.
