Chapter 251 Visiting Relatives and Bringing Food
Li Jiayi rubbed the little girl's head and said, "You're welcome."

Li Jiayi still likes this cousin who is two years younger than him very much.

Well-behaved and sensible.

At this time, the eldest cousin Li Chengqian came over, pulled Li Jiayi aside and asked, "Jiayi, we have nothing to do today, let's go for a walk in the mountains!"

"Don't go."

"Uh! What's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked in confusion.

"Brother, do you want to go to the mountains to hunt wild boars?"

"Yes!" Li Chengqian nodded.

"Brother, you only need to do this once. Don't think about doing it often, because good luck won't always follow you."

"But……"

"Don't say but, it's Chinese New Year, why don't we celebrate together as a family? Why do we have to run to the mountains?"

"OK then."

In fact, Li Chengqian just wanted to go to the mountains to hunt wild boars for fun. Of course, it would be better if he could catch one.

"By the way, brother, how is your school going?" Li Jiayi asked.

"That's it! Besides, fewer and fewer people go to school now."

"Less and less? What do you mean?"

"It's the classmates in the class. Before, there were more than 50 students in our class, but when the winter vacation started, there were only more than 20 people."

"Ah! What about those students before?" Li Jiayi asked.

"I don't know. The teacher went to those students' homes to look for them, but we didn't know what happened, so the matter was dropped. The teacher also didn't say what happened."

"All right!"

Others may not know what’s going on, but Li Jiayi knows!
They must not have enough food to eat, or even no food to eat, and cannot go to school.

Are you kidding? I can't even eat, so why go to school? Isn't it better to stay at home? Not being active can also reduce consumption.

This situation exists not only in rural communes, but also in cities.

Many students who used to be very active now stay in the classroom obediently.

It can be said that if you can avoid moving, then do so. Some students even asked for leave. Li Jiayi didn't know how long this class could last.

He doesn't care, he can go to school every day, but many teachers and students have become listless.

Especially teachers, many of them can't even last a single class.

You know, teaching is also a physical job! Walking around the podium, writing and drawing.

"By the way, brother, after you graduate from junior high school, do you plan to go to high school or technical secondary school?"

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "I won't go to anything."

"why?"

Li Chengqian said helplessly: "With my academic performance, I have no chance of getting into either technical secondary school or high school, so forget it!"

"All right!"

Li Chengqian's words forced Li Jiayi to consider some things.

If my cousin only finished junior high school, I would have to find a job for him.

Although my eldest cousin doesn't need to go to the countryside like the city kids, he can eat commercial grain as long as he has a job!
It will be much easier to find a wife in the future. Besides, even if I go to the city, it is not far from home.

Also, graduating from junior high school is already very good, considering that many people don’t even finish elementary school.

With a junior high school diploma and my connections, it was easy to find a formal job for my cousin.

Even if you don’t have a junior high school diploma, it’s not a problem, but it’s a bit difficult to get an administrative level.

Li Jiayi turned his head and looked at his second cousin, feeling a little helpless. His second cousin was two years older than him and would not be able to enter junior high school until this fall.

Li Jialin asked her elder sister, second sister and cousin, "Eldest sister, second sister, are you still having classes at school?"

"Come on! What's the matter?"

“We may not be able to hold classes at school.”

"Why?" asked the second sister.

"I don't know either. I just heard from the teacher that it seems like we're going to have a holiday."

"Have a holiday?"

"Ok!"

"It's okay, just take a holiday, you can study at home then."

"Big sister and second sister, if it's holiday, can I study with you?"

Hearing the little girl's question, Li Jiaqi thought for a moment and said, "It depends on whether we have a holiday. If we don't have a holiday, you won't be able to study with us!"

"Yes!" The little girl wrinkled her nose in distress.

"Okay, after your school is on vacation, you can write a letter to your elder sister. If your elder sister is also on vacation, she will come to pick you up then." Li Jiaqi said, touching the little girl's head.

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded.

Before we knew it, it was already noon and grandma and the others had already prepared the meal.

The meal was very sumptuous. In Li Chengqian's words, it was better than what he had eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Of course, the New Year he was talking about was not now, but the night of the 30th.

Whether in the countryside or in the city, the most important day of the Chinese New Year is the 30th, and the night of the 30th is the most important.

This is normal. Although the night of the 30th is very important and is a reunion dinner, their family is not reunited. Only today is the real reunion.

The old man was also very happy today! He even took out two bottles of the good wine that his eldest grandson had given him. You know, this is something that he would never even think about at other times.

You know, all the good wine that his eldest grandson sent him was hidden by him and he was reluctant to drink it.

"Brother, it seems that Dad is very happy today! He took out all the good wine." "Of course, today is our family reunion! How can he not be happy?"

"Alas, it seems that I am taking advantage of you, my second brother. Normally, I can't even see you drink, let alone see you."

"Brother, you can do it now! I heard that most of the good cigarettes Jiayi gave to our father were given to you."

"Of course not! I can only get a box from time to time, and most of them are for me to smoke." Li Aiguo curled his lips.

"Uh! All right!"

"Come here, grandson, this chicken thigh is for you." The old lady put a chicken thigh into Li Jia's bowl.

"Grandma, just eat by yourself, don't worry about me, I can do it myself."

"Well! Grandma will only give it to you this time, you can do it yourself later."

"it is good."

Then grandma picked up another chicken thigh and said to Li Jiafen, "Come here, girl, this one is yours."

"Thank you grandma."

There were two chicken thighs in total, which were given to the two youngest children in the family. In this way, no one could say anything.

No one will say anything because they are used to it.

In the Li Jia family, Li Jiayi has always been the most precious one in the family. No matter what delicious food it is, it must be given to Li Jiayi.

Similarly, in my uncle’s family, cousin Li Jiafen is also the most beloved one, and her two cousins ​​will not compete with her for anything.

"Come, eat some food." The old lady picked up some food for her two daughters-in-law.

"Mom, we can do it ourselves, you can eat too."

"Okay, eat them all."

The family finished their lunch in this warm atmosphere.

After dinner, my mother Ye Xin and my aunt Liu Xiaocui went to clean up.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Li Jiayi went out to play with his two cousins.

Of course, we just played in the village. In Lijia Village, Li Jiayi was very popular.

No matter where he went, people would greet him, even those who were older than him.

Of course, Li Jiayi is not an impolite person, he just says whatever he needs to say.

"Brother, that's Sixth Grandpa's house in front, right?" Li Jiayi asked, pointing to a small courtyard.

"Yeah!" Li Chengqian nodded.

"Big Brother, go play somewhere else first. I'm going to visit Sixth Grandpa's house."

There was no other way! He had to get his two cousins ​​out of the way, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get anything out of the space.

"Giant One, let's go with you!"

"No, I just want to chat with Sixth Grandpa, so don't follow me. I'll come find you later."

The two cousins ​​were young at heart and didn't like chatting with old people, so they nodded and said, "Okay, let's go find Goudan and Erhu, you can come over later."

"it is good."

After his cousin and his friends left, Li Jiayi found a place where he could hide from others. He flipped his hand and found a net bag in his hand.

There are two pounds of pork, two pounds of pork fat, two pounds of sesame paste, and two pounds of sesame salt in the net bag.

In addition to these, there are also two bottles of Moutai, two bottles of Xifeng liquor, and two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes.

Li Jiayi did not take more, not because he was reluctant, but because Sixth Grandpa was the only one there.

Two pounds of pork is enough for him to eat for several days. As for two pounds of pork fat, the oil refined from it will be enough for him to eat for half a year.

The way people eat oil nowadays is very different from later generations! Many people just dip their chopsticks in it.

As for why he only took good wine, there was no other way, because there was no bad wine in his space!
It seems that I need to buy some Erguotou and put it in the space later.

Li Jiayi didn’t know whether Sixth Grandpa went to the commune today. If he did, he could only come back in the evening.

Arriving at Sixth Grandpa’s house, Li Jiayi knocked on the door.

Although Sixth Grandpa lives alone, he lives in three main rooms and a side room.

It’s just that he lived in an unfinished house, and the roof was covered with thatch instead of tiles.

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

"Sixth Grandpa, it's me."

The door opened quickly and Sixth Grandpa appeared before him with a smile on his face.

"It's Xiao Jiayi! Come in quickly."

"Sixth Grandpa, why didn't you go to the commune today?" Li Jiayi asked as he walked into the house.

"Alas, it's a good time now, and no one visits relatives during the New Year. Why should I go to the commune?"

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi had not expected this, but it was true. One cannot visit relatives empty-handed! But in this year, there was nothing to bring with him.

In that case, it’s better not to leave.

Besides, you always have to eat when visiting relatives, and they don’t have anything to treat you, so if you go, it will be a burden to them.

Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, when a girl goes to her parents' home, she has to bring food rations with her.

There is no way around it. The food is fixed. If you take your children to have one meal, your mother's family may go hungry for several days.

Because it will take you a few days to save up the food you eat, otherwise you won’t be able to get more.

When he came into the house, Li Jiayi put the things he had brought on the eight-immortal table and said, "Sixth Grandfather, I don't have anything else to bring you, so I brought you these."
