Chapter 229: Concept of Time, Surrounded by People

"Old Li! This is incomparable. Not to mention children, even among adults, how many are more capable than Little Li?"

Old Li nodded in agreement and said, "Old Zhao, you are right."

As for Li Jiayi, he went straight home after leaving the military compound.

As the saying goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. He came back just in time for dinner.

The meal was prepared by Liao Kai. Today is also a celebration, of course, to celebrate Xu Wenwen’s official employment at the bakery!
"Jiayi is back. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." Liao Kai said hurriedly when he saw him come back.

"Uncle Liao, have you completed the employment formalities?"

"It's done, just like you said, and it didn't delay my work."

"That's great." Li Jiayi shrugged and said.

"It's pretty good."

"By the way, Uncle Liao, what job did Auntie arrange for you?"

In any factory, position is the most important thing. It not only depends on whether the job is easy, but also whether there is room for advancement.

There are some jobs that are easy but the salary is very low, and it is even difficult to get a raise.

"Your aunt's position is pretty good. She's doing quality inspection."

"Hey, this is pretty good! There is room for promotion, and it's also relatively easy." Li Jiayi said, touching his chin.

"Yes."

After washing their hands, the two men came into the house. Everyone was already seated and all they had to do was eat.

Liao Kai took out two bottles of Moutai and said, "Brother Li, I'm happy today. Let's drink together."

"Okay! But Xiaokai, you can do this! Where can you get two bottles of Moutai?"

"Brother Li, what can I do? Compared to Jiayi, my situation is nothing."

You know, Liao Kai was not idle today! He almost ran through the entire wool spinning factory leadership office.

Hard work pays off! He finally got two bottles of Moutai liquor tickets from the secretary, and bought them after get off work.

"Come on, let's eat, it will get cold soon."

The weather is getting cold now. Although it is not time to light the fireplace yet, if we prepare the food and eat it a little slowly, the food will have to be cold, even if we eat it indoors.

Li Jiayi drank a small bowl of chicken soup first before starting to eat.

"By the way, auntie, when will you go to work?"

"Let's go tomorrow." Xu Wenwen said with a smile.

She was very happy today too! The bakery had originally given her a few days to finish her housework before returning to work.

But she told the personnel department that she could start work tomorrow.

Of course the personnel department knew that she got the job at the bakery through connections, so they had no choice but to agree if she went tomorrow.

As for registering her household registration, she had already done it this morning. In other words, Xu Wenwen now has a household registration in the imperial capital, and will be able to eat commercial grain in the future.

"By the way, Jiayi, speaking of this, Uncle Liao needs your help."

Li Jiayi picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"It's like this, your aunt is going to work now, the woolen mill and the bakery are not in the same direction, and I can't take your aunt to work, so I want to buy your aunt a women's bicycle."

In terms of location, the woolen mill was northwest of where they lived, while the bakery was southwest, so they were indeed not in the same directions.

"Uncle Liao, do you want a bicycle ticket?"

"Yes."

"No problem! It's just a bicycle ticket. When do you want it?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Of course the sooner the better! It's even better now that we have it."

Hearing what Liao Kai said, Li Jia put down his chopsticks, walked to the clothes rack, took out a handful of tickets from his schoolbag, and pulled out one.

"Here you go, Uncle Liao. This is a 26 Phoenix bicycle ticket. It's a fixed ticket and will expire in about half a year."

"Okay, okay, it won't take half a year. I'll go buy it this Sunday."

"Well! You decide for yourself."

"Jiayi! How much is the ticket? I will pay you back slowly after I go to work." Xu Wenwen looked at Li Jiayi and asked.

"Auntie, it's just a bicycle ticket, forget the money, just consider it as congratulations on your joining us."

Xu Wenwen quickly shook her head and said, "That won't work. Although I haven't been in the capital for long, I know that the bicycle ticket is not cheap."

Liao Kai turned around and said, "Wenwen, this is not a matter of whether it's cheap or not, but it's not necessarily possible to buy it even if you have money. It's just one more. It's very difficult for others to get one."

"Yes! That's why I know this, so I'll add one cent." Xu Wenwen said.

"Forget it Wenwen, this guy won't take your money."

"Big sister, pass me a steamed bun."

"Okay." Li Jiaqi quickly stood up, took a steamed bun and handed it to Li Jiayi.

Li Jiayi looked at Li Jialin again and asked, "Second sister, I haven't asked you this before. After you entered junior high school, did you find the courses difficult?"

"It's difficult, much more difficult than elementary school." Li Jialin shook her head depressedly.

"Alas!" Li Jiayi sighed and said, "My eldest sister and I took after him! I don't know who my second sister takes after."

"Hahaha, who else can I follow? Of course I should follow you." Li Aimin laughed.

Hearing what he said, Ye Xin looked at him speechlessly.

Li Aimin hadn't reacted yet at this time, but when he saw that everyone was holding back their laughter, he quickly reacted.

"You're scolding me, aren't you, brat?"

"Dad, is this a good place to put a question mark?"

"You little brat." Li Aimin was left at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing what Li Jiayi said.

Ye Xin said at this time: "I think Jiayi is right. You are really stupid. It took you a long time to react."

After dinner, Ye Xin and Xu Wenwen cleaned up the round table and then went to the kitchen to clean up.

After finishing the cleaning, Liao Kai took Xu Wenwen home, and Li Jiayi also went upstairs to sleep. Back in the room, Li Jiayi locked the door from the inside and entered the space directly.

After harvesting the fish in the pond, I went to harvest the fruits.

The crops and vegetables grown in the farms and vegetable fields are not yet ripe.

Li Jiayi started slaughtering pigs and cattle.

Finally, he collected the tea leaves from the Lingcha tree and went to the back mountain.

Ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum are growing well, and now the entire back mountain is full of these two things.

Some of them are planted at the beginning, and the rest grow again after they bloom and bear fruit and fall to the ground.

And now we have ginsengs of all ages, but the oldest one is only more than 30 years old.

The same goes for Polygonum multiflorum.

These things are not of much use for the time being, but Li Jiayi has no plans to sell them now.

Let’s talk about it later. Anyway, we can’t escape in space.

After collecting some Ganoderma lucidum and saffron, Li Jiayi returned to the courtyard.

Take a shower, then go to bed.

Silent all night.

The next morning after breakfast, the three siblings rode their bicycles to school.

A Sheng and A Quan followed behind. As for A Cai, he was still guarding the house.

Li Jiayi came early today because when he arrived at the class, there were only five or six people in it.

And he didn't see the little black fat man, so he guessed that guy hadn't come over yet.

Yes, he came here on a bicycle, so he must be faster than the little black fat guy walking.

Six or seven minutes later, the little black fat boy came in with his schoolbag.

"Boss!" the little black fat man shouted after sitting down.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yeah!" The little black fat man nodded.

"what's up?"

"Do you have time tonight?" the little black fat man looked at him and asked.

"What time in the evening?"

Li Jiayi basically doesn't have a lot to do now. He has figured out the pattern of when the black market asks for food, which is basically once every three days.

In addition to this, his classmates are still helping him sell peanuts, melon seeds and beef jerky.

This is nothing to worry about. It's cold now, so you don't have to worry about the peanuts and melon seeds peeling in a few days. You can take out more at once.

"After 7pm, it will take about an hour and a half."

Li Jiayi turned his head and looked at the fat black boy and asked, "What are you doing? It takes so long?"

After seven o'clock, it will take another hour and a half, so it will probably be nine o'clock by the time I get home.

He didn't care how long it took, but the main thing was that the time was not well chosen and his family would worry.

But who made this person a fat black guy? Li Jiayi had no way to refuse.

Besides, he has a dog, so he doesn't need to worry about the arrangements. It should be fine if he just tells his parents.

"Tell me! What do you want me to do?"

"Boss, this is what I want you to do, to help deliver some food to my grandparents."

"Send food?"

"Ok!"

In the opinion of the little black fat man, Li Jiayi has a tricycle, which is powered by gasoline and runs quite fast.

The most important thing is that Li Jiayi has something he wants to give to his grandparents.

"Do you have food?" Li Jiayi asked.

"I don't have any, but you do, boss! Don't worry, I will pay you every penny you deserve."

"Okay, write me a list later. It would be better if you also specify the quantity so that it will be more convenient for me to prepare it."

"Don't worry, Boss. I will write it clearly."

"Well! Just concentrate on your studies!"

"Okay boss."

The class passed quickly, and when the bell rang, Li Jiayi and the fat guy came out of the classroom.

"Boss, I've already written the order. Should I give it to you now or..."

"Give it to me now!"

"okay."

Li Jiayi took it, took a look at it, then put it away and actually put it into the space.

"Let's go, Boss. We need to move faster, or we won't be able to make it in time."

There was only fifteen centimeters of space between classes, and because the toilet was far away, we had to run to the toilet.

"Why are you in such a hurry? There is enough time." Li Jiayi said, pulling the fat man.

Others ran because they lacked a sense of time, but Li Jiayi was different! He had a pocket watch and could check the time at any time.

The two of them quickly arrived at the toilet, but Li Jia was stunned because the toilet door was surrounded by people.

At first Li Jiayi thought that there were too many people going to the toilet and everyone was queuing up, but he soon found out that this was not the case. These people were gathered here to watch the fun.

"Make way, everyone, let us go to the toilet." Li Jiayi shouted to the crowd.

　PS: Love is always there, can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
