Chapter 211: As long as the old man is there, the home is there

"Grandma, I didn't bring anything. Everything is needed."

"You don't have much, kid? Are you planning to move your family here?"

"Grandma, stop talking and take the things inside! It's hot outside."

"Yes, yes, take it in first."

At this time, Li Laogen was so happy that his teeth were exposed.

Because he saw wine and tea, which were his favorite things!

As for cigarettes, although he also smokes, he is not interested in them, mainly because they are too expensive.

Even if he had it, he couldn't bear to smoke it, especially two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, which cost six dollars and fifty cents a pack!

Unfortunately, what Li Laogen didn’t know was that these two packs of cigarettes were not 6.5 yuan per pack, but 7.5 yuan per pack.

Because this is Greater China, it is one dollar more expensive than a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes.

"Grandson, why did you bring so much meat?" grandma asked at this time.

"I didn't take much! Just 20 kilograms."

"You kid, aren't chickens, ducks, and geese meat?"

"Uh!"

Well, if you count chickens, ducks and geese, there are indeed quite a lot.

"Grandma, if you can't finish it, pickle it. If that doesn't work, air-dry it. It can be kept for a while."

"That's the only way. I'll give half of the pig fat to your aunt and let her take it back to make oil."

"Grandma, you should let Auntie refine the oil here and then take it back."

"Yes, yes, yes. If we take it back to refine oil, our neighbors will know about it."

"Ok!"

"Grandson! Is this the tea you brought for grandpa?" Li Laogen held the three cans of tea and couldn't let go.

"Yes, but there is one can that I promised to give to my uncle."

"What for him? He can't drink tea."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and looked at the old man speechlessly.

"You old man, you even steal your son's things." The old lady patted Li Laogen and said.

"I didn't steal it. It's in my hand!"

The old lady ignored him and turned to look at Li Jiayi and said, "Grandson, you must be tired after running so far! Go and have a rest first. Grandma will make you something delicious later."

"Yeah! Thank you grandma."

Li Jiayi's way of resting was to sit down and drink tea, but the way he drank tea made Li Laogen's heart tremble.

There's nothing we can do! This kid drinks tea by grabbing a handful of tea leaves with his hands.

This much tea is enough for him to drink for two days. I feel so sorry for it!

Just as my grandparents had put away their things, my uncle and his family came over.

Because of the drought, there is not much work in the countryside at this time, otherwise it would be the busy farming season.

"Mom, I'll help you cook."

"Okay, I just need to make some delicious food for my eldest grandson, and I can't handle it alone."

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the little girl Li Jiafen and asked, "Granddaughter, how are you doing at your brother Jiayi's house?"

"Grandma, I'm doing well. My elder sister and second sister take me out to play every day, and my brother buys me lots of delicious food."

"In addition, Auntie also made me a lot of delicious food, all of which I had never eaten before."

"Hahaha, that's good."

"Dad, can I have a can of tea?" At this time, the uncle saw three cans of tea on the table and quickly picked up one and said.

I was busy bringing other things into the house and forgot to leave the tea outside.

Li Laogen snatched the tea leaves away and said, "What do you mean your tea leaves? These are given to me by my eldest grandson."

Uncle glanced at Li Jiayi.

Li Jiayi spread his hands helplessly to him. What else couldn't his uncle understand? The old man was going to take away his tea!
But he had no choice. He couldn't snatch it from his father. He could only go back and find a way to take it away.

"Brother, when the holidays come, can I come to your house to play?" my second cousin came over and asked.

"Uh! Sure!"

Needless to say, my second cousin must have had this idea because he heard Li Jiafen talk about how things were in the city.

"Really?"

"Bullshit." The uncle slapped the second cousin on the back of the head and said, "How old are you? You still want to be like your little sister."

“I…” The second cousin rubbed the back of his head, not knowing what to say.

He knew that this would not work, but he was attracted by the various kinds of delicious food that his little sister mentioned.

According to my younger sister's description, my uncle's house was a place he would never dare to dream of.

"It's okay, uncle. If second brother wants to go, I'll pick him up during the holidays. Anyway, there's a place to stay at home."

"Why are you going? I heard from others that life in the city is very difficult now, and it's not as good as in our village."

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi didn't know how to respond to his uncle's words, because what his uncle said was right. Given the current situation in the city, it was indeed not as good as Lijia Village.

But Li Jia's family was an exception! And he knew that the reason why his uncle said this was because he didn't want to cause trouble for his family.

"It's okay, uncle. You know the situation in my family. It's different from other families. If you want to go, then go."

"I want to go too." The eldest cousin scratched his head in a naive manner.

"You want to be punished, you little brat?" The uncle glared at the eldest cousin. "Go if you want to go. To be honest, I want grandpa and grandma to go!" Li Jiayi glanced at the old man and the old lady.

"Let it go for us. We are fine here and won't cause you any trouble," said grandma.

"Grandma, how can you and Grandpa be a nuisance? We are so happy that you and Grandpa are gone."

Respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

A home is only a home when there are elderly people. Can it still be called a home without elderly people?

For example, in their home, they would come back so many times because of the two elderly people there.

If the two old people were really gone, no matter how good the relationship between the two brothers Li Aiguo and Li Aimin was, it would be impossible for them to come back so many times.

If that's really the case, Li Jiayi would be lucky if he could come back twice a year.

It’s not that he doesn’t like his uncle’s family, it’s just that they don’t have the comfort they have now.

With his grandparents around, he felt comfortable and at ease when he returned.

Therefore, the elderly are the bond that maintains family ties and the soul of the family.

As the saying goes, an old person in the family is like a treasure. They have two old people in their family, which means they are two treasures.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. We are still in good health now. When we really can't walk anymore, we will definitely go then."

"All right!"

When grandma said this, Li Jiayi knew that she and grandpa really didn't want to go to the city.

This is normal. It is hard to leave one's hometown. Besides, one is familiar with everyone in the village. When one goes to the city, one is unfamiliar with the place and always feels inconvenient.

Li Jiayi also knew this, so he didn't check. He just needed to come back a few more times.

There was no way before, but now he can come back whenever he wants, and sometimes he doesn’t even need to tell his parents.

"Okay, you guys talk outside for a while, we'll go cook." After saying that, grandma pulled her eldest daughter-in-law into the kitchen.

The good thing about grandma is that she treats both daughters-in-law the same, just like her own daughters, and she never shows favoritism.

After grandma and aunt went to the kitchen, uncle came over with a teacup and said, "Dad, can you give me some of your tea?"

The old man looked at him, pinched a little with three fingers and put it in the teacup for him.

"Dad, that's all! It doesn't even have any taste."

"That's already a lot, how much more do you want?"

"Uh!"

Uncle looked at his own teacup, then looked at Li Jiayi's teacup. There was no comparison at all!

The amount of tea leaves in my teacup is probably not even one-tenth of the amount in my nephew's teacup.

Seeing his eldest son staring at his eldest grandson's teacup, the old man's mouth twitched.

"My nephew, please give me some tea!" said Li Aiguo.

"Oh! Sure, just pour it!" Li Jiayi said as he pushed the teacup over.

"Hehehe, my nephew is still the best."

Originally, the eldest cousin and the second cousin also wanted to drink, but after seeing this situation, the two of them didn't dare to speak.

They could only drink boiled water and didn't even dare to mention the tea. Their own father was treated like this, let alone the two of them.

At noon, the family had a happy meal together, and the ingredients they used were all brought by Li Jiayi today.

Knowing that her eldest grandson didn’t like to eat pickled meat and bacon, the old lady didn’t even make them.

But in fact, this is not the case. Li Jiayi has never said that he doesn't like eating pickled meat and bacon.

It was my second sister who said that the reason why he didn’t eat much last time was because he wanted his two older cousins ​​to eat more.

After all, he doesn't need that meal, but the two cousins ​​are different!

If Li Jiayi didn't come, they might not be able to eat meat for half a month.

They could come to their grandparents' house to eat, but their uncle and aunt wouldn't let them.

After resting for a while after dinner, Li Jiayi left because he had something to do in the afternoon and had to go back early.

More than two hours later, Li Jiayi returned to the city, and it was not yet four o'clock.

Li Jiayi did not go home either, but drove his tricycle directly to the courtyard.

I left early in the morning and didn't even wait for the little black fat guy to come over.

As soon as the tricycle arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the gate opened.

"You're good, kid. You don't even have to knock on the door now." Li Jia nodded.

"Hehehe, of course, your tricycle is the only thing here that makes any noise."

"That's true."

This place is quite remote, few people come here, let alone cars!

After parking the tricycle, the two men came into the house.

"Add one, and I'll give you yesterday's money first." After saying that, he took his schoolbag and took out the money from yesterday's sales.

"By the way, Li Jiayi, after school starts, do we not have the ability to sell anymore?" asked the fat man.

"It's not that we can't sell it, for example, after school, or on Sundays, but I don't know if everyone is willing to do so?"

"Of course I would! Even though I can only sell it once a day, I can still make a lot of money! Who wouldn't want to?"

"Fatty, you should ask first. If everyone is willing, then go ahead. If not, forget it."

"Yes! I'll ask them later."

"it is good."
