Chapter 253 Arriving in the city, Director Xu's awakening
Chapter 253 Back in the city, Director Xu's awakening
The same goes for bicycles, they are all loaded onto tricycles, but even though they are loaded, the doors cannot be closed.
It doesn’t matter, it’s not very far anyway.
As for smashing the stamp, I couldn't do it because I didn't bring my household registration book. I could only ask my grandfather or uncle to come and smash it.
When he came here, Li Jiayi also wanted to take the household registration booklet with him, but he was afraid that his grandfather would not let him buy it after he knew about it, so he planned to act first and ask for permission later.
"It might be a bit cold, sit closer to the front." Li Jiayi turned his head and said.
"It's okay, just drive." said the eldest cousin excitedly.
Because he knew that this was the bicycle his cousin bought for his grandfather.
But if I learn it myself, there is no way my grandfather will refuse me if I want to ride him.
"Then I'll start."
"open it!"
Li Jiayi started the tricycle and drove towards the village. He arrived a little late, so he did not stop.
Otherwise, I have to go out for a walk on the street to see if there are any good snacks.
Li Jiayi always said that his second sister was a foodie. In fact, he was the same, or even worse.
It's just that he has no shortage of food, so he hasn't been exposed. If he were to be like his second sister, he would probably be worse than her.
More than twenty minutes later, the tricycle drove into the yard again.
As soon as the car was parked, my eldest cousin got out and shouted to the house, "Grandpa, come out quickly, Jiayi bought you a bicycle."
When they came back, their family members didn't react, but when Li Chengqian shouted, everyone came out of the house.
At this time, my eldest cousin had already unloaded the bicycle from the tricycle.
"Grandson, did you just buy this bicycle?" The old man came over, looked at the bicycle and asked.
"Ok!"
"Kid, why did you buy this thing?" The old man almost stamped his feet.
"Grandpa, you are only in your fifties. In the city, there are people in their sixties and seventies riding bicycles."
Li Aimin nodded and said, "That's true."
"I don't care how old they are when they ride bicycles. This bicycle is so expensive! Why did you buy it?"
"Uh!"
"Grandpa, now that you have a bicycle, once you learn how to ride it, you can take grandma to the commune when you have nothing to do."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the old man was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the old lady.
"Hahaha, okay, not bad, not bad, it's a good buy." The old man said with a big laugh.
The change between now and then is so huge, it's as if they are not the same person.
"Oh, Grandpa, because I didn't bring my household registration book, my bicycle hasn't been stamped yet. Here's the ticket for buying the bicycle. Take it and you'll need it when you get the stamp."
This ticket is not only used for stamping, but also serves as proof of buying a car before the stamp is applied.
"Okay, I understand." Li Laogen nodded, took the ticket and put it in his pocket.
"I originally wanted to buy two, but there is only this one Phoenix bicycle." Li Jiayi said when seeing his uncle's envious look.
"Why buy two?" asked the old man.
"Buy one for uncle!"
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the uncle quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I don't want it."
"It's okay, uncle. It's just a bicycle and not much money." Li Jiayi said indifferently.
"Yes, brother, this guy is rich, you don't have to be polite to him." Li Aimin said.
"Really? Besides, I already have one! If I need one, I can just come to my dad's place and ride it."
"Yes, yes, yes!" the old man nodded quickly.
"By the way, grandson, I heard that you need a ticket to buy a bicycle. Where did you get the ticket?" asked the old man.
"Dad, this kid is not only not short of money, but also not short of tickets." Li Aimin said.
"Uh!"
In fact, what Li Jiayi wanted most to buy for his grandparents was a radio, but unfortunately, Lijia Village was not located too close to the mountains, so the radio could not find any channels.
He heard this from his grandfather.
The team leader did not buy a bicycle before, but bought a radio. Unfortunately, it was of no use when he got it back. He had no choice but to exchange the radio for a bicycle ticket from someone else.
Of course, Li Jiayi believed that it would not take many years before Lijia Village would be able to receive the signal.
The fact that the radio cannot find any stations now is only temporary.
In the next two days, grandma's house became lively and everyone rushed to learn how to ride a bicycle.
No one expected that the slowest learner was not the old man, because he learned it in less than two hours.
On the contrary, Li Aiguo was the slowest learner. Although he was very tall, he was the slowest learner. It took him more than a day before he could barely ride a few steps.
It seems that learning to ride a bicycle has little to do with height, but rather with balance.
Of course, it cannot be said that there is no relationship at all. Being tall does have certain advantages.
For example, when my uncle learned to ride a bicycle, he would sit on the bicycle first and then pedal.
Although he learned slowly, he never fell because when he put his feet down, they touched the ground and it was impossible for him to fall.
It was not until the fifth day of the New Year that Li Jiayi and his colleagues returned to the city. There was no other way because the woolen mill had to start work the next day.
Ye Xin and Li Aiguo have to go to work tomorrow, otherwise they can stay for a few more days. But this is enough, this year is the longest year they have lived here in recent years.
Because I came back in the afternoon, it was already past four o'clock when I got home.
It was already this late and Li Jiayi had no plan to go out again.
Because they have to start work tomorrow, they need to have something good to eat in the evening, so Li Jiayi called Liao Kai over.
After Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen came over, Liao Kai was responsible for making the pot base, while Ye Xin, Xu Wenwen and eldest sister Li Jiaqi were responsible for washing the vegetables.
Yes, we are going to have hotpot in the evening. In order to have this hotpot, Li Jiayi took out five or six kinds of vegetables!
This is basically impossible in winter, especially in the imperial capital.
But Li Jiayi did it. In addition to vegetables, Li Jiayi also took out a lot of bean curd sheets.
This is not the kind of blinds that are made with technology and hard work, but are cleaned by hand.
After Liao Kai prepared the base of the pot, Li Jiayi took out the beef and mutton and asked Liao Kai to cut them.
The hotpot dinner that night was so delicious that needless to say, Li Aimin and Liao Kai drank too much again.
Seeing his mother and Xu Wenwen start to clean up, Li Jiayi went upstairs.
Back in the room, Li Jiayi locked the door from the inside and entered the space directly.
After completing tomorrow's procedures, Li Jiayi took a shower and went to bed.
Because Li Aimin and Liao Kai were both drunk, they did not take a sauna at night.
Silent all night.
After breakfast the next morning, Li Aimin and Ye Xin went to work, leaving him and his two sisters at home.
"Big sister, I'm going out for a while."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Li Jiayi did not drive the tricycle, but asked Asheng and the others to pull the sled out.
They don't have any relatives in the city, so there's no need for them to leave.
But Li Jiayi has somewhere to go!
So, Li Jiayi came out of his house and went to Director Xu's house.
Before coming, he had already asked at the street office. Today was not Director Xu's shift. During the New Year period, there were three shifts on duty, and today happened to be Director Xu's turn to rest.
"Knock knock knock!" Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly and Director Xu appeared in front of Li Jiayi.
"It's you, kid! Are you back from your hometown?"
"Yes, Director Xu." Li Jiayi nodded with a smile.
When Director Xu saw what Li Jiayi was holding, he said, "You little bastard, what are you doing? Are you trying to bribe me?" Director Xu asked jokingly.
"Aunt Xu, look at what you said. I'm visiting relatives, so it's only right for me to bring some gifts when visiting relatives!"
"You really can't help being amused, can't you tell it's a joke!"
"I see." Li Jiayi nodded and said.
"You still say that even after you see that?"
"Aunt Xu, I was just kidding!"
"You! You won't take any loss at all."
Director Xu, her daughter-in-law and her children are the only ones at home. As for Director Xu's wife and son, they are probably at work.
The two chatted for a while, and Director Xu suddenly asked, "By the way, you asked me to punish you to clean the yard, but you asked others to do it for you."
"Director Xu, whether I clean the yard or ask someone else to do it, I want to ask you, is our yard No. 7 clean enough?"
"It is clean, but..." At this point, Director Xu suddenly reacted, then looked at Li Jiayi and said, "I seem to understand why you asked me to punish you to clean Yard No. 7. You are great." Director Xu gave Li Jiayi a thumbs up.
"I didn't do anything, I just helped as much as I could."
Since Director Xu knew that Li Jiayi asked others to help with cleaning, he must also know who helped with the cleaning.
Director Xu knew better what was going on with the families who were helping him clean.
"You kid, I was wondering why you insisted on making me clean the yard, so this is the reason!"
"Aunt Xu, just keep this to yourself, don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry! I won't tell anyone about this, but you are capable! At this time, you can still help others."
“It didn’t help much.”
"Oh! You asked someone to clean for you, what did you give?"
Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "Two catties of pork, two catties of eggs, and twenty catties of flour every month."
"Hiss! Boy, this isn't much help. How much more can you help?"
Director Xu didn't want to bother with this guy anymore. You know, this amount was for one family, but Li Jiayi gave it to three families!
In total, it means six kilograms of pork, six kilograms of eggs and sixty kilograms of flour per month.
You have to know that as a director, her monthly ration is less than 30 kilograms! Only 27 kilograms.
Of the twenty-seven pounds, five pounds and four ounces are white flour, two pounds and seven ounces are rice, eight pounds and one ounce are cornmeal, and the rest are all miscellaneous grains.
From her, we can see what 20 jin of flour means.
What is two-he flour? It is a mixture of white flour and corn flour, which is the two-he flour in the imperial capital.
In addition to two-grain flour, there is also three-grain flour, and even four-grain flour, which is made by adding sorghum flour or sweet potato flour.
PS: Love is always there, can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
