Chapter 237 Meeting Lin Ling'er Again

"Take your time! After all, you have just joined the factory. It takes two or three years for others to become a master."

"Yes! I know this. My master told me."

They all learned from a master, but Xu Wenwen was different from the others.

Because others are apprentices and she is a regular employee, by the time others become regular employees, she will probably already have a work grade.

Li Jiayi came out of the back door and drove his sled out of the city. As the weather got colder, people had a greater demand for food.

Because consumption is greater in winter.

After a few months, one-fifth of the people in Courtyard No. 7 alone suffered from edema.

Even Cheng Qiaoyun and her two other families, who had stockpiled some food in advance after being reminded by Li Jiayi, are now starving.

One can imagine what other families are like. Of course, there are also some people in the courtyard who have had a better life, such as Hai Dafu.

Hai Dafu was alone and he was very good at talking. He could eat the entire person's quota and still sneak some back from outside.

There is absolutely no problem with eating, and he often follows the factory leaders around, and when he eats out he doesn't eat his own ration.

So Hai Dafu was extremely wealthy. He didn't even eat coarse grains, but only fine grains.

Li Jiayi drove a sled to Pigeon City. Although it had just snowed, there were still many people in Pigeon City.

There is no way, now everyone is looking for food everywhere.

After arriving at Pigeon City, Li Jiayi opened the box on the sled, took out a bag of sweet potatoes and started selling them.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. Fresh sweet potatoes are only ten cents a pound."

"Sweet potatoes, I want a bag."

"I want a bag too."

Soon, Li Jiayi's sled was surrounded by a crowd of people, and even Li Jiayi's shouting to line up was unsuccessful.

There's nothing I can do! I'm so hungry.

Li Jiayi was also willful for once. He did not move and kept selling as long as someone wanted to sell.

As for whether the box can hold so much, or whether it is reasonable, I can’t care about that at this point.

Now, if we sell one more bag, we can help a family, and those who come to Pigeon City to buy sweet potatoes are all ordinary people.

Because rich people would try every means to buy white flour or rice, and even if they couldn't buy these, they would at least buy cornmeal.

Li Jiayi didn't know how many bags of sweet potatoes he sold throughout the morning because he didn't count them. When there were no more in the box, he took some out from the space.

At this time, who would help him count? Those who bought the tickets left immediately, and those who didn’t buy the tickets stayed nearby.

Li Jiayi didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the last person left with the sweet potatoes on his back.

In this situation, there is only so much he can do.

There was no one in Pigeon City. Li Jiayi collected the remaining sweet potatoes in the box and drove the sled back to the city.

Because of the snow, the roads were icy and very slippery, so there were very few people riding bicycles.

People who are in a hurry either take the bus or tram, or walk. Even tricycles are hard to see.

The main reason is that this is the first day after school was suspended. I guess there will be no problem in a few days and I can ride a bike then.

Li Jiayi did not go home, but went to the courtyard. Today was Sunday! The peanut and sunflower seed business had not stopped.

He was delivering food to the little black fat guy Guo Detie, but of course, he also needed to eat.

There was no fireplace in the courtyard, but there was a stove in the house, and it was a big one.

So as long as you don't go out, the house is still very warm.

"Boss, you came a little late today! I thought you were not coming."

Yes, he did come a little late today. Usually, when he went to the Pigeon Market to sell things, he would sell until a little after eleven o'clock at most. But today, when he came back from the Pigeon Market, it was already past twelve o'clock.

After dinner, Li Jiayi left. At other times, when the weather was warm, he could lie on the small bed in the house and take a nap.

But it’s cold now! There’s no blanket or anything. If I really take a nap on the small bed, I’ll be freezing.

So Li Jiayi planned to go out, find a small woods or something, drive the sled in, and then enter the space to take a nap.

Yes, he was planning to sell sweet potatoes in the afternoon, but he only had one day and he didn’t want to waste it.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Li Jiayi had just walked out of the courtyard and had not walked far when he passed by a supply and marketing cooperative when he was stopped by someone.

The one who stopped him was a quirky and extremely pretty little girl, who looked young, probably about the same age as himself.

But he is much taller than me, and it is obvious that he has never lacked food, clothing, and nutrition since childhood, otherwise it would be impossible for him to grow so tall.

Why is the average height of people nowadays so short? To put it bluntly, it is because of lack of nutrition. If the nutrition is sufficient, it is impossible for them to be so short.

Li Jiayi quickly stopped the sled and asked, "What do you want?"

"Huh, you actually lied to me." The little girl said with a pout.

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, looked at the little girl and asked, "Do I know you?"

"Okay! Just pretend you don't know me, right?" the little girl asked, her hands on her hips.

Li Jiayi said helplessly: "I really don't know you! Why are you pretending?"

How could he not be clear about his own affairs? He went to school every day, and when he had time, he would go out to buy or sell things.

In his memory, there was no impression of this little girl at all, this was absolutely correct.

"Are you still pretending not to know me, Wu Chiren?"

Wu Chiren, wait, Li Jiayi seemed to have some impression. Could this be the little girl he sent home from the cinema that night?

But how did she recognize me? You have to know that I didn't even see what she looked like at that time. Then she couldn't have seen my appearance clearly!

Also, he was driving a tricycle at that time, but now he is driving a sled.

"How is it? Did you remember it?"

"I have some impression of you. You are the little girl I sent home that night, right?"

"That's right!"

Li Jiayi touched his chin and asked, "What I don't understand is how you recognized me. I'm sure you didn't see my appearance clearly that night."

Lin Linger glanced at Li Jiayi and said, "You're right. I didn't see your face clearly, and I didn't recognize you, but I recognized it."

Following Lin Ling'er's finger, Li Jiayi saw Asheng and the others.

Li Jiayi patted his head. He did bring Ah Sheng with him that day, but a dog as big as Ah Sheng would probably be hard to find in the imperial capital!

People didn't recognize him, but recognized Ah Sheng.

"Okay, but what I don't understand is, why do you say I lied to you?"

"Humph, you still said you didn't lie to me, Wu Chiren, didn't you just say there is no such person?"

"Oh! I really didn't lie to you. My name is indeed Wu Chiren. Wu is the Wu of Dongwu, Chi is the Chi of Mercedes-Benz, and Ren is the Ren of benevolence and righteousness. I didn't bring my household registration book with me, otherwise I would have let you see it."

"Ah! Your real name is Wu Chiren?"

"Yes!" Li Jiayi nodded seriously.

"But your name is too imprecise, isn't it? Who gave you the name?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it was given by my parents. Besides, isn't this a good name?"

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Lin Linger thought about it and realized that it was true. If his name was really Wu Chiren, it was a good name.

The most important thing is that this name is easy to remember and the kind that you will never forget once you hear it.

"I'm sorry! I misunderstood you. I thought you deliberately said a fake name!"

At the same time, Lin Ling'er also blamed her father in her heart. It was all because of her father that made her think that others were deceiving her.

"It's okay, just make it clear."

"Yeah! By the way, is this your sled? Why is it so big?"

"It's a sled. It will become bigger if it is made bigger." Li Jiayi said.

"Huh!" Lin Ling'er was stunned.

Yeah! The size of the sled depends on how big you make it.

Many people try to make their sleds as small as possible because the smaller they are, the easier they are to use.

"Wu Chiren, where are you going on this sled?" Lin Linger asked.

"Not going anywhere, just wandering around."

"Ah! Then can you take me home?"

He was originally going to refuse, saying he had something to do, but he was just wandering around after saying that, and it would be too fake to say he had something to do at this time.

"Okay, come on up!"

After Lin Ling'er came up, Li Jiayi drove the sled towards her house.

"By the way, isn't your home in Ciqikou? Why are you here?"

Lin Linger just came out of the supply and marketing cooperative. She must have gone there to buy something.

But can Ciqikou be without a supply and marketing cooperative? Of course it can’t be without one! And there are several supply and marketing cooperatives in that area!

"I came out to eat with my dad, and my dad and his friends were drinking, so I left first. I was planning to take the bus, but then I ran into you!"

"I see! I thought you couldn't possibly go so far just to buy something!"

The sled was moving very fast, mainly because Asheng and his friends were very strong, and pulling the sled was like a piece of cake for them.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is ice on the road. You don’t need to exert much effort at all. If there is no ice, you can try it.

Soon the sled arrived at the gate of Lin Ling'er's villa.

Li Jia stopped the sled and said, "We're here."

"thank you!"

"You're welcome."

"This is for you. Consider it the fare for your return trip." Lin Ling'er handed Li Jiayi an oil-paper bag.

Needless to say, this should be what Lin Ling'er bought at the supply and marketing cooperative just now.

Although he didn't know what was in the oil paper bag, Li Jiayi still said, "No need, take it back and eat it yourself!"

"I have some more here. I bought a lot. This bag is for you."

After saying that, he put the oil paper bag on the sled and ran back home. Li Jiayi had no way to refuse.

Li Jiayi shook his head, picked up the oil paper bag and put it into the space.

Then he drove the sled towards the outside of Jianguomen.

At the same time, Lin Linger also returned to the villa.

"Hey, why did you come back alone?" Mother Lin asked when she saw Lin Ling'er coming back alone.
