Chapter 249: Bickering, Lao Li is defeated
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the children were all very excited.

The fact that they are still being set off after such a long time shows that the firecrackers are very long. The longer they are, the more there are that will not explode.

And I can enter the East Cross Courtyard, which is unimaginable under normal circumstances.

In the entire No. 7 Courtyard, only a few people have ever entered the East Courtyard.

Soon the firecrackers were over, and a group of children rushed in and started scratching around on the ground.

At this time, Ye Xin came out with a winnowing basket with melon seeds in it.

"Come on, kids, take some melon seeds back."

Although their family has a bad relationship with most of the families in the yard, this only applies to the adults.

These children can be said to be innocent, and Ye Xin is a kind-hearted person, otherwise she would never come out of the house with melon seeds in her hand.

"Thank you, aunt!"

"Thank you, ma'am!"

"You're welcome. It's getting late. Let's go back!"

Everyone got some melon seeds and the kids ran out immediately.

After they left, Li Jiayi went over to close the door, came back and gave Ye Xin a thumbs up and said, "Mom, this is you."

"Son, you won't blame me for giving them melon seeds, right?"

"No." Li Jiayi shook his head firmly.

"That's good, come on, let's go back to the house."

"Ok!"

Back in the house, Li Jiayi poured himself another cup of tea from the large enamel mug.

At around ten o'clock, Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen went home to rest, and only Li Jiayi's family was still keeping watch.

Actually, I just couldn’t sleep. Since it was vacation and I had nothing to do, I slept a lot every day.

It was not until after twelve o'clock that Li Jiayi went out and set off three firecrackers, and then the family went into the house to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Jia got up and ate the noodles and dumplings cooked by his mother, then drove the sled out of the house.

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year! It is the day to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. There are no elders in their family in the city, so they don't need to go anywhere.

But Li Jiayi had somewhere to go! The first place he had to go was, of course, his master's home.

When going to his master's house, Li Jiayi did not bring any miscellaneous things, including food and meat.

Because it was not necessary. He brought enough before the Chinese New Year. It was estimated that even for the master and the senior sister, it would take more than a month to finish it.

Of course, he couldn't bring nothing, so he prepared two large boxes of Beijing Eight Pieces, two bottles of Maotai liquor, two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, and two cans of spiritual tea.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Li Jiayi knocked on the door knocker several times.

The door opened quickly and his senior sister appeared before him.

Seeing that it was Li Jiayi, the senior sister was not surprised, because she knew very well that the junior brother would come today, but she didn't know what time.

"Junior brother, come in quickly."

"Okay senior sister."

Li Jia drove the sled into the yard, carried the things and followed his senior sister into the house.

"Are you here?" asked the master with a smile, taking a sip of tea.

"Yes, Master. Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. I came to wish you a happy new year."

"You are a good kid. You still remember to wish your master a happy new year."

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Master, I may not remember anything you said, but how can I forget to wish you a happy new year?"

"You are such a smooth talker, come on, go outside and practice with the master and see if you have made any progress in this period of time."

"Okay, Master."

The two men came to the yard, warmed up a little, and then started practicing against each other.

At the beginning, Li Shugen didn't react much, but as the fight went on, Li Shugen was surprised.

This guy is simply a martial arts genius! Li Shugen wondered how many years it took him to reach Li Jiayi's level.

But after thinking about it, I still couldn't remember it. It took me many years anyway.

At noon, Li Jiayi did not leave, but had a meal with his master and senior sister.

After the meal, Li Jiayi received a big red envelope, a real big red envelope.

Li Jiayi didn't even need to take it out to look at it. He could tell by just touching the thickness that it was definitely no less than one hundred yuan.

In fact, in this era, the New Year’s money is very little, normally only one or two cents.

Even if grandparents give their grandchildren New Year’s money, it’s only fifty cents or one yuan.

But Li Jiayi was different. He received every red envelope.

For example, last night, my parents gave me a red envelope of fifty yuan.

The red envelope given by Liao Kai was sixty-six yuan and sixty-six cents, which means good luck.

These two red envelopes alone are equivalent to several months' salary for an ordinary worker.

I didn’t expect that the master gave me another one today, and it was the biggest one.

After dinner, I drank tea and chatted with my master for a while.

It was not until about two o'clock that Li Jiayi came out of his master's house.

However, he did not go home, but went directly to the military compound to wish Old Li a happy New Year.

As for the gifts he brought, they were exactly the same as the ones he brought to his master's house. He had prepared them in advance.

Ten minutes later, Li Jiayi arrived at the military compound. He originally wanted to go to the service center to buy something, but he didn't expect the service center to be closed.

There’s nothing I can do but come back next time and talk about it.

After driving the sled to Old Li's house, Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.

The front door is not like the room door. You can just knock on the room door gently a few times, because you can hear it, but if you knock on the front door, the sound may not be heard inside the house.

"Here it comes!" Aunt Tian's voice rang out.

The door opened, and it was Auntie Tian who opened it. "Jia Yi is here."

"Yes, Auntie Tian, ​​I'm here to wish you and Lao Li a happy new year."

"Then come in quickly."

"Ok!"

He drove the sled into the yard and untied Ah Sheng and the others from the sled.

Then he went into the house carrying the gift.

Old Li was reading a newspaper with a pair of reading glasses on. When he heard footsteps, he put down both the glasses and the newspaper.

"Are you here to wish me a happy new year?"

Li Jiayi handed the gift to Aunt Tian, ​​then sat opposite Old Li and crossed his legs.

He said, "What else? If I don't come to wish you a happy new year, should I come to drink at your wedding?"

"You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about! Why are you drinking at a wedding?" Old Li glanced at Aunt Tian nervously.

"Mr. Li, aren't you still strong and healthy? What kind of wedding wine do you want to drink?"

"You little bastard, you want to lead me into trouble!"

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "The ditch is too shallow, I don't think I can fall there. If you want to take me, take me into the abyss."

"You little brat, I'm afraid of you, okay?"

Li Jiayi took a clean teacup and put a handful of tea leaves from Lao Li's tea can into the cup.

"Can you be more frugal, kid?" Old Li said, covering his chest with one hand.

"I say, Lao Li, can you please stop being so stingy? Don't forget, this tea is a gift from me to you."

"I know you gave it to me, but with the way you drink it, I don't think I can finish this can of tea for more than a month."

Auntie Tian put down the gift and walked over to say, "Xiao Jiayi, come to dinner at home tonight. Auntie will make you something delicious."

"Okay Auntie Tian, ​​I didn't plan on leaving now."

"You kid."

"Xiaotian! This kid is like this, he speaks very directly." said Lao Li.

"Yes, it's just a little too direct."

Li Jiayi didn't feel anything, he was just telling the truth.

In the evening, Aunt Tian and Aunt Zhang prepared a meal. Although it was not very rich, it was definitely acceptable.

Li Jiayi didn't drink, and only Lao Li was drinking, so dinner was over quickly.

It was already six o'clock, and seeing that the time was almost up, Li Jiayi stood up and said, "Lao Li, Auntie Tian, ​​it's getting late. I'll go back first and come back when I have time."

"Okay, it's really getting late, you should go back early and be careful on the road."

"Ok!"

"By the way, this is for you." Aunt Tian took out a red envelope and handed it over.

Li Jiayi didn't hesitate to take it and said, "Thank you, Auntie Tian."

"You little brat, I gave you the red envelope, aren't you going to thank me?"

"What's wrong with what you wrapped? It's not given to me by you." After saying that, he walked out.

Seeing him like this, Lao Li shook his head helplessly.

When arguing with this guy, I seem to have never gained the upper hand.

When Li Jiayi returned home, the whole family, including Liao Kai and his wife, were there, and it seemed that they had just finished dinner.

"You little rascal, you ran away for a whole day on New Year's Day." Li Aimin scolded him when he saw him come back.

"I told my mother that I'm going to visit my master and another elder today."

"Huh! How come I didn't know?" Li Aimin asked.

"You shouldn't ask me this. You should ask my mother why she didn't tell you."

Li Aimin glanced at Ye Xin and said nothing more.

"Son, how is your master?" Ye Xin asked.

"My master is doing well, in good health, and he enjoys everything he eats."

"That's good. I originally wanted to have your master and senior sister come over to celebrate the New Year together, but I thought your master might not come, so I didn't mention it."

"Mom, it's better if you don't mention it. My master won't come."

What Li Jiayi said was right. He knew his master very well. His master was a person who didn't want to trouble others.

"By the way, son, did you bring a gift for your master?"

"Of course I brought it. My master also gave me a red envelope." After saying that, Li Jiayi took out the red envelopes given by his master and Lao Li.

"Hey, why are there two?" the second sister asked in surprise.

"Your brother went to another elder's house to pay New Year's greetings today. This should have been given by another elder." Ye Xin said.

"Yes, this one was given by the master, and this one was given by another elder."

After saying that, Li Jiayi opened the red envelope given by his master and counted it. There were ten big black tens in total, which means one hundred yuan!
"Brother, your master is really generous. He gave you a hundred yuan as a New Year's gift."

"Of course." Li Jiayi said proudly.

"There's another one! Don't you want to open it and take a look?" asked the second sister.

"Go ahead! Second sister, please help me open it!" Li Jiayi said as he put the money back into the red envelope.

"Yes! I'll help you."

"Hiss!" When the second sister opened the red envelope, she took a breath of cold air.

Because this red envelope not only contains one hundred yuan, but also special Moutai liquor tickets and special Great China cigarette tickets.

In addition to these, there are five sets of clothing coupons, which can be used to pick up clothes directly at the service center!

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