Chapter 240: Alternative Mutual Assistance, No Omissions

"Who is it?" Grandpa Sun's weak voice came from the house.

"Uncle Sun, it's me."

Soon the door opened and Grandpa Sun appeared in front of Li Jiayi.

"It's Jiayi! What's the matter with you coming here so late?"

"Uncle Sun, let's go in and talk!"

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

After entering the house, Grandpa Sun looked at what Li Jiayi was holding and asked, "Jiayi, what are you doing..."

"Uncle Sun, you should already know that because I beat Hai Dafu, Director Xu from the Street Office punished me to clean the yard."

"Yeah! I know." Grandpa Sun nodded.

"It's like this, I have to go to school every day, so I don't have time, so I just want to trouble you to do me this favor."

"Hey, I thought it was something else! I clean every day anyway, so it's just a side job."

"Well! These are my rewards for you, please accept them."

"No, I can't take this. Add one! You've helped our family a lot. This time I'm helping you."

"Uncle Sun, you must accept this. I am not asking you to clean for one or two days, but for a year. From now on, I will give you 20 catties of flour, 2 catties of pork and 2 catties of eggs every month."

"Oh, this is absolutely not allowed! Add one! Uncle Sun really can't take these things! If others knew that I took so many things from you just for helping you clean the yard, they would definitely poke me in the back!"

"Uncle Sun, you should know your family's situation better than I do. Do you think you can really survive if you don't accept these things?"

"This……"

"Okay, Uncle Sun, you can keep these. Besides, I don't just want you to help me clean. You only need to clean the backyard in the future. I will ask others to help with the front and middle yards."

"Ah! That's all I get for cleaning the backyard, plus one! Aren't you asking me, Grandpa Sun, for help? You're helping us!"

Grandpa Sun was not stupid. When he heard that someone else was needed to clean the front and middle yards, he understood what was going on.

Needless to say, the front yard must be Cheng Qiaoyun's home, and the middle yard must be Xu Guafu's home.

"Uncle Sun, I'm just asking for your help. Everyone's situation is different. You may feel that cleaning a house is not worth so many things, but for me, cleaning the backyard is a bit too little."

"Ah! This..."

What Li Jiayi said is true! People are different. A big boss with tens of millions of yuan a day and a worker with more than 100 yuan a day have the same time, but the value is different.

Can the time value of Li Jiayi be the same as that of Grandpa Sun? Of course they are different!

"Okay, Uncle Sun, it's settled. I still have to go find Aunt Cheng and Aunt Xu."

"Plus one, I...I...thank you."

Uncle Sun looked at me for a long time, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only say thank you.

"No, we are helping each other."

After leaving Grandpa Sun’s house, Li Jiayi came to the central courtyard.

At the same time, at Grandpa Sun’s house, Grandpa Sun walked into the bedroom with tears in his eyes, carrying things.

"Old Sun, what's wrong with you?" asked Aunt Sun.

"Look." Grandpa Sun picked up the thing.

"Meat, eggs, where... where did these come from?" asked Aunt Sun.

"Jia Yi sent it here." Grandpa Sun said as he wiped his tears.

"Jia Yi sent it over?"

"Yes! There are still twenty catties of flour."

"So many! Why did he send such things to our house?" asked Aunt Sun.

Although Li Jiayi had helped their family by asking her to apply for household registration, asking them to stock up on food, and even giving them some pork fat when distributing meat, he had never sent anything to their family.

"It's like this, Hai Dafu, wasn't he punished by Director Xu to clean the yard for a year? He asked me to help, and this is the compensation he gave me. And this is only for one month, and it will be this much every month in the future."

"Hey Old Sun! You're not asking for our help! You're helping us! You're just finding an excuse."

"I know, and he gave me so many things just to ask me to help clean the backyard. I'll ask Widow Xu for help in the middle yard, and Cheng Qiaoyun for help in the front yard."

"That's right, he's just looking for an excuse to help us."

"Yeah!" Grandpa Sun nodded.

Aunt Sun thought for a moment and said, "I suspect that he did this on purpose by cleaning the compound for a year."

"What do you mean?" asked Grandpa Sun.

"Think about it! When has Jiayi been punished for cleaning up the people in the yard? Why was he punished this time? And he was punished for cleaning the yard. Doesn't Director Xu know that he is in school? He has no time to clean at all."

"Now that you put it, it's true. Maybe the beating of Hai Dafu was intentional. Otherwise, with Jiayi's ability, no one would know it was him who beat him."

"Yes!"

The two people thought a lot. Others might not know the relationship between Li Jiayi and Director Xu, but Grandpa Sun knew!
You know, Grandpa Sun works in the cleaning team of the street office! I don't know how many times I have seen Li Jiayi go to Director Xu's office.

On Li Jiayi's side, he also gave two bowls of noodles, meat and eggs to Widow Xu.

When it comes to having a hard life, Widow Xu's life is even harder than that of Grandpa Sun's family.

Although neither of them had a job and Grandpa Sun had a lame leg, there were at least two adults in the family.

And Widow Xu is the only adult in her family!

"Aunt Xu, I'll have to trouble you with the hygiene of the middle courtyard from now on."

"Add one! Don't worry, leave the sanitation of the middle courtyard to me! I will make sure it is cleaned every day."

"Yeah!" Looking at Li Jiayi's leaving back, Aunt Xu wiped the corners of her eyes. She also knew that Li Jiayi was helping her family.

But the difference is that she did not refuse like Uncle Sun, because she knew very well the situation in her family.

With these things, plus their family ration, she and her child could survive.

I can only keep this kindness in my heart and repay it even if I have to work like a horse or an ox.

Li Jiayi came to the front yard again, came to the door of Cheng Qiaoyun's house and knocked.

"Who?"

"Grandpa Shao, it's me."

The door opened quickly, and Grandpa Shao appeared in front of him and said, "Jia Yi! Come in quickly."

"Ok!"

When we came into the house, Cheng Qiaoyun also came out of the room.

"Gain One is here?"

"Yes, Aunt Cheng."

"What are you doing here at this time?"

"It's like this, Aunt Cheng. I was punished by the street office to sweep the yard! But I don't have time, so I want to ask Grandpa Shao to help me."

Cheng Qiaoyun still has to go to work! Of course she doesn't have time to help him sweep the yard, but her father-in-law has nothing to do!
I used to be in poor health, but after such a long period of recuperation, plus the fact that I eat much better than before, my body has almost recovered.

Cleaning the yard is definitely no problem.

"Jia Yi! You want me to help you clean the yard, right?" Grandpa Shao asked.

"Yes, Grandpa Shao."

"Hey, what's the point? Just leave it to me."

"Grandpa Shao, you can just help me sweep the front yard. Aunt Cheng will help in the middle yard, and Grandpa Sun will help in the back yard."

"It's just sweeping the yard, why do we need so many people?" said Grandpa Shao.

"Dad, please stop talking." Cheng Qiaoyun took a look at what Li Jiayi was holding in his hand and seemed to understand something.

"Grandpa Sweeper, you are old, so I cannot ask you to sweep the whole yard. You only need to sweep the front yard. If you help me clean the yard, I will give you 20 catties of flour, 2 catties of pork and 2 catties of eggs every month."

"Ah! This... this is not allowed! I'm just sweeping the yard, how can I take your things?"

"Yes, Jiayi, you have helped our family a lot. We can't accept these things." Cheng Qiaoyun said.

"Auntie Cheng, let me tell you the truth! This situation cannot be resolved in three to five months. It may take one to two years, or even two to three years. Are you sure there is no problem?"

"Ah! This..."

"Okay, Aunt Cheng, please accept the food. Grandpa Shao and Grandma Shao are not in good health. The meat and eggs will help them replenish their bodies."

Cheng Qiaoyun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, plus one, I'll take these things. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

"Okay, if I need your help, I'll be happy to help you."

"Yeah! Thank you plus one."

"Auntie Cheng, you are too polite. Well, it's getting late. I'll go back and rest."

"Okay, walk slowly."

"Ok!"

When Li Jiayi returned home, Li Aimin and Liao Kai were still sitting there drinking tea, and Ye Xin and the others had not finished steaming.

"Son, where have you been?" Li Aimin asked.

"Dad, it's nothing. I'm going to find someone to help me clean the yard."

"Oh! Who are you looking for?"

Li Aimin originally thought that he and his family would get up a little earlier every morning and clean the yard together.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiayi had already found someone to clean up.

"I'm looking for Grandpa Shao in the front yard, Aunt Xu in the middle yard, and Grandpa Sun in the back yard."

"Uh!" Li Aimin was stunned for a moment. He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know where.

Liao Kai looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Are you helping them?"

"Hey, it's not a big deal. They're helping me clean the yard, so I'm bringing them something."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin knew where the problem lay.

"Son, what are you going to give them?"

"Every month, each family will have 20 catties of flour, 2 catties of pork, and 2 catties of eggs."

Li Aimin thought for a moment and asked, "Are these enough?"

Before Li Jiayi could speak, Liao Kai said, "Brother Li, they already had a fixed quota, and with this 20 catties of flour, it is equivalent to the level before they reduced the quota."

"That's it!"

"And for every pound of pork and eggs you get, this is more than the previous ration!"

Before the difficult period, each person had a ration of three taels of pork per month, but none of the three families had a ration of less than two catties of pork per month.

Not to mention that Li Jiayi also gave eggs.
