Chapter 276 62 years
Chapter 276: Year
There is really no harm without comparison! And it is extremely insulting.
Before I was ten years old, although the food was not very good, I never went hungry!
From the time he was ten years old until now, in the past three years, who has eaten better than him? Even among his peers, he is considered tall.
But compared to Lin Ling'er, he is nothing.
"By the way, Li Jiayi, can you do me a favor?" Lin Ling'er asked after setting up the stall.
"What favor? Please buy me some meat. Don't worry, I will pay you a penny." Lin Ling'er said quickly.
Li Jiayi knew that it was not Lin Ling'er who wanted to buy the meat, but probably his parents asked her to buy it.
Lin Ling'er had eaten at his place so many times, it was impossible for her not to tell her family.
This meat is something that no one else can buy, but Li Jiayi eats it every day, so he must be able to get it.
"How much?"
Li Jiayi didn't care. He could sell it to others, so it didn't matter if he sold some to Lin Ling'er.
"Twenty kilograms of pork, ten kilograms of beef, and ten kilograms of mutton." Lin Ling'er said and looked at him nervously.
This is the difference between ordinary people and capitalists. If ordinary people buy meat, they will definitely buy pork because pork contains oil.
But the capitalists also want pork, beef and mutton.
"If there aren't that many, a little more doesn't matter." Lin Ling'er continued.
"The things are fine, but how are you going to take them back? I also have chickens, ducks, and geese here, do you want any?"
"Yes, the more the better. If you can't finish it, you can put it in the refrigerator and eat it slowly."
After that, he looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Can you help me deliver these to my home?"
"can."
"How much? Just tell me the amount and I'll bring it to you later."
The price of grain is outrageous now, but the price of meat is not that high. For example, rice and flour cost four or five yuan per pound.
But the price of pork is only about ten yuan on the black market, it’s just not easy to buy.
In fact, it is very normal. You can not eat meat, it won’t kill you anyway, but not eating food will really kill you!
"Let's go by the market price! Pork, beef and mutton are all ten yuan a pound. Chickens are relatively large, a white-striped chicken weighs five pounds or more, so it's twenty yuan a piece. Ducks are thirty, and geese are fifty. It's up to you what you want."
"We need five chickens, ducks and geese, and everything else remains the same." Lin Ling'er said quickly.
Li Jiayi thought to himself: Damn, this is a rich person!
You know, these things cost 900 yuan! He didn't even blink an eye.
Li Jiayi didn’t know how big Lin Ling’er’s business was in the past, but considering the villa she lived in, this amount of money seemed just enough for her family.
"Okay, I'll go with you tonight and deliver the things."
"Uh-huh!"
The afternoon passed quickly. Li Jiayi sold a lot of fruit juice during the afternoon. I wouldn’t say how much, but some sold for three or four hundred US dollars.
After closing the stall, the two men came to the courtyard again and asked Lin Ling'er to wait here for a while. Li Jiayi went out and brought back some lunch boxes.
The three of them ate and drank their fill, and the sky gradually darkened.
"Let's go! I'll take you back."
"Oh! That thing?"
"It's ready." Li Jiayi said, pointing to the carriage.
"Uh-huh!"
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Lin Ling'er's villa.
Li Jiayi did not go in, but just parked the tricycle in front of the villa.
Then he said to Lin Ling'er: "Go in and ask someone to come and get the things!"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right out."
Lin Ling'er went in quickly and came out quickly, and several servants and nannies came out too.
It happened to be dark at that time, and if you didn't go close, you couldn't see clearly what they were holding.
Lin Ling'er's parents did not come out, which was better for Li Jiayi.
After picking up all the things, Li Jiayi said, "I'll go back first."
"and many more."
"What's the matter?" Li Jiayi stopped and asked.
"I haven't given you the money yet!" Lin Ling'er said with a smile.
"It's okay. You can give it to me later."
"That won't work. My dad said that we should keep things separate." After saying that, he stuffed a bunch of money into Li Jiayi's hand.
Looking at the unopened bundle of big black ten, Li Jiayi said, "This seems to be too much."
"I know. My dad said the extra money is the shipping fee you paid for sending it here."
Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "The shipping fee you gave is really not low."
"Okay, just take it! I might buy from you again in the future, so just consider it a deposit."
"You can have this."
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was September and Li Jiayi started school.
Yes, he went to a technical secondary school.
Just like college, students in technical secondary schools need to go to school for classes.
Only elementary schools, middle schools and high schools have holidays.
I had to go to school, so I couldn't sell juice anymore. But this didn't stop Li Jiayi from making money, at least he could still make money by delivering goods to woolen mills and bakeries.
Of course, the black market is the same as Master Wu’s, except that what they make is not money, but yellow croakers of all sizes and antiques.
Then there is the little black fat boy. With his academic performance, there would be no problem for him to go to a technical secondary school.
However, the suspension of classes caused his academic performance to decline significantly, so he was only able to pass high school.
But since I won’t be attending high school, I guess I won’t be able to even think about getting into college when the time comes. It would be good enough if I can just get a high school diploma.
Xicheng District Secondary Vocational and Technical College is where Li Jiayi is going to study.
After breakfast, the eldest sister brought him here on her bicycle.
Yes, my eldest sister also goes to school here, one grade higher than him.
"Come on, little brother. I'll take you to register and then divide you into classes."
At that time, technical secondary schools and universities were free, and there were subsidies every month.
The monthly subsidy for technical secondary school students is 18 yuan, and for university students it is 25 yuan.
Now is a difficult period and there is no food coupon subsidy. Otherwise, people like Li Jiayi who go to technical secondary school would still receive more than 20 kilograms of food coupon subsidy every month.
With the help of the elder sister, Li Jiayi completed the formalities quickly and then came to the class.
Li Jiayi did not apply for a technical job, such as machinery or manufacturing, but instead applied for a Russian language major.
There are many things you can learn in a technical secondary school, including medical care, manufacturing, maintenance, etc.
Of course, there is also Russian, which Li Jiayi reported, and there are quite a few people learning this.
There are four classes in the Russian major. Li Jiayi's class has about fifty people. As for the other classes, he doesn't know.
However, it can also be seen from here that Russian is still a popular major.
To be honest, Li Jiayi really didn't understand what was so good about learning Russian. If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't just a technical subject, he wouldn't have signed up.
Because this thing will be of no use in the future!
Originally, Li Jiayi thought this was just like going to junior high school, where he would drink after receiving his textbooks on the first day. However, he didn't expect that it was not the case, but that he would go straight to class.
It was also from this day that Li Jiayi's secondary technical school course began.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is May of 1962, more than half a year has passed.
Li Jiayi was also very busy. He not only had to send wild boars and eggs to others, but also meat and food.
I also had to go to the trust store to buy things on Sunday. Anyway, I rushed and finally spent all the cash in the space before May.
Yes, just spend it all.
Now in the space, apart from US dollars, there is not even a thousand RMB.
Even now, he spends all the cash he receives each week on Sunday.
There is no way, the three-year difficult period is about to end.
Now we just have to wait for the summer harvest. Once the harvest is over, the grain supply will be restored immediately.
By that time, whether it is old furniture, antiques, or even large and small yellow croakers, there will be a surge in price.
In that case, why keep so much cash?
The reason for this is that there are no high-priced grains anymore. If grain prices recover, then other commodities will definitely increase in price!
However, after these three years, ordinary people have little money left.
That afternoon, Li Jiayi had just returned from school when the little girl Liao Qingxue ran over staggeringly and hugged his legs.
"elder brother!"
Li Jiayi quickly squatted down, picked up the little girl and asked, "Why did you come out alone?"
Li Jiayi looked around but did not see Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen.
Needless to say, this girl must have come out alone to wait for him, but Uncle Liao and Aunt Wenwen were too confident!
"Eat candy."
"Okay, have some candy." Li Jiayi took out a White Rabbit milk candy, opened it and handed it to her, then carried her into the yard.
As soon as I entered the front yard, I saw Xu Wenwen coming out in a hurry.
Seeing Li Jiayi coming in holding the little girl, he was obviously relieved.
"You little girl, how dare you run outside alone?" Xu Wenwen shouted at the little girl angrily.
"Auntie, don't you know she's coming out?"
"How would I know? I just got back from get off work! I was preparing dinner and I couldn't find you anymore."
The little girl seemed to know that she had done something wrong. She lay in Li Jiayi's arms and did not dare to look up.
"I thought she went to your house and went to see if there was anyone there. Now I know he is at the door."
Hearing what Xu Wenwen said, Li Jiayi tapped the little girl on the head and said, "Don't come to the front door from now on. If you want to find your brother, come home. If you come to the front door again, I won't give you any candy anymore."
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded quickly.
This girl is now over one year old. She can understand a lot of things, but she just can't speak.
"Okay, auntie, go back and cook! I'll take care of this girl."
Seeing that the little girl had no intention of coming down, Xu Wenwen said helplessly: "Okay then! I'll pick her up later."
"No need to answer it, let her eat at my house tonight, and then take her back when it's time to go to bed!"
"All right!"
When he got home, Ye Xin was picking vegetables in the yard. Seeing him carrying the little girl in, she asked, "Did this girl go to the gate to pick you up again?"
"Yes! It scared Auntie."
"Just now, your aunt Wenwen came to look for her, and I knew she must have gone to the front door."
"This girl is very smart! She knows who can give her delicious food." Li Aimin said with a smile.
