Chapter 277 The difficult times are coming to an end

"I give her a lot of food! Why doesn't she come to me?" Li Jialin said as she came out of the house.

"And I, too, often give her delicious food." Li Jiafen continued.

"I don't know about that. Maybe the extra one is more." Ye Xin said.

Did Li Jiayi give this girl a lot? It seemed that it was not much, just a piece of candy or a piece of dessert, such as peach cake or something.

In terms of giving a lot, it was definitely not as much as her second sister Li Jialin, because Li Jialin gave this girl candies in handfuls.

As for why this girl is so attached to Li Jiayi, to be honest, Li Jiayi doesn't know what's going on.

"Son, why did you come back alone? Where is your elder sister?"

"My sister and her class followed the teacher to the factory today, so they may be back a little late."

"All right!"

In technical secondary school, it was normal to go to the factory with the teacher. Even Li Jiayi, a first-year student in technical secondary school, had been there several times.

In the teacher's words, it is theory plus practice. You can't just learn, you also have to do it yourself.

As for why Li Jiayi, who studied Russian, went to the factory, it was not for random reasons.

Because most of the machines used in factories now are all produced by the Russians, the workers who return to the factories know nothing about the Russian language.

This is when students who are learning Russian come in handy.

Of course, it is mainly the teachers who do the translation, and they watch and learn from the sidelines, and can also tell the workers what they know.

Anyway, I'm not going to the factory to play.

"Come here Qingxue, let your sister hold you." The second sister stretched out her hand and said.

Unfortunately, when the little girl saw her reaching out, she went straight into Li Jiayi's arms.

"Qingxue, go and let your second sister hug you first. I'll go wash my hands and hug you later."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, the little girl reluctantly handed over her hand.

"Hahaha, look at this little girl, she looks reluctant." Li Jialin said with a smile.

"Qingxue, come here and let me hug you. I'll give you some candy." Li Jiafen took out a White Rabbit milk candy and coaxed her.

When the little girl saw the White Rabbit milk candy, her eyes lit up and she quickly reached out her hand.

"How about it, second sister? Now I'm letting you hold me."

"Tsk, it's just bribery." Li Jialin said with a pout.

"Come back and play in the house!" Ye Xin felt a headache when she saw the children quarreling.

"Oh!"

After the second sister and cousin carried the little girl back to the house, Li Jiayi went over to wash his hands and returned to the house.

"Brother, do you guys from technical secondary school often go to work in factories?" the second sister suddenly asked.

Li Jiayi glanced at her and quickly understood what was going on.

You know, she's going to take the technical secondary school entrance exam this year! If she really works in the factory often, she may not go to the technical secondary school.

"Who told you that we were going to work in a factory? We were going there to practice, which was actually learning."

"You're really not going to work?"

"Of course not! For example, when our class went to the factory, it was basically the teacher who translated the Russian on the machine for the factory workers, and we learned by the side. If we knew them, we could also speak to the workers."

"I see! I thought I was going to work in a factory."

There are indeed people who go to work in factories, such as those who study mechanics and those who study manufacturing. When they go to factories, they have to practice, which to put it bluntly means they work.

"How can there be so much work for a student like you? If that's the case, what's the point of having workers?"

"That's true." Li Jialin nodded.

"Brother, hug me." The little girl Liao Qingxue stretched out her hand again.

Li Jiayi could only helplessly take the little girl from his cousin.

"By the way, why hasn't my brother come back?" Li Jiayi looked into the house and asked.

Since Li Chengqian came to the city to work, he basically stays here except for sleeping.

It's time to get off work. Li Aimin and Ye Xin are both back, so it's impossible for him not to be back.

"Brother went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. He should be back by now."

"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things? Is there anything our family lacks that we need to buy from the supply and marketing cooperative?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.

"Go buy some soy sauce and Erguotou."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment. He could understand buying soy sauce, but what did this mean by buying Erguotou?

Li Jialin smiled and said, "Dad said that my eldest brother is working now and can learn to drink. So my eldest brother is going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Erguotou and come back to learn to drink from Dad."

Li Jiayi asked in confusion: "Do we need wine at home? Why do we need to buy Erguotou?"

"I know, I know," the cousin shouted, raising her hands.

When Li Jiayi looked over, the girl said, "My eldest brother said that he just learned to drink and can't drink good wine. If he gets spoiled, he won't have wine to drink in the future."

"All right!"

This is indeed true. People who are just learning to drink should not drink too good wine. As long as it is pure wine, it is fine.

As for the price, it really doesn’t matter. If you want to drink good wine, you’d better wait until you learn how to make it.

"Aunt, I bought the soy sauce." The eldest brother's voice came from outside.

“Just put it in the kitchen.”

"Ok."

A minute later, the eldest brother returned to the main room with a few bottles of Erguotou.

"Is Jiayi back?" Li Chengqian walked into the house and saw Li Jiayi and asked hurriedly.

"Hey! Big brother, why did you buy so much wine?" "Learn slowly!"

Li Chengqian is very comfortable working in the city! He doesn't have to spend a penny on meals.

Apart from paying one yuan in rent to the street office every month, he can keep the rest.

So he had money in his hands, and of course, sometimes he would mail money home, but there was no place to spend the money at home.

Let's put it this way! After working so long, he had about two hundred yuan in his hand, not to mention the extra money.

"Brother, if you want to learn how to drink, tell me! I'll bring you some wine."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Chengqian quickly said, "Forget it, you brought back good wine, I dare not drink it."

"You can have Erguotou if you want it! With the little money you make, it's probably not enough to drink Erguotou every day."

"Uh!" Li Chengqian felt offended, but he had to admit that his cousin was right.

His current salary is definitely not enough for him to drink Erguotou every day.

Although Erguotou does not require a ticket, it still costs 70 cents a bottle!
Of course, this refers to the price under normal circumstances. During the three difficult years, all the wineries in the capital basically stopped production and sold their inventory.

Therefore, during the three difficult years, Li Jiayi hardly bought any wine. Even if he did, he would buy the special supply from the military compound because the price of the special supply did not increase.

Although the Erguotou sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives is still 70 cents a bottle, it is really hard to buy.

Because they are basically out of stock.

"Brother, you bought this at a high price, right?" Li Jiayi asked, glancing at the wine in his arms.

"How do you know?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Is this hard to guess? You can't buy cheap wine at all, so you can only buy it at a high price."

Yes, if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Erguotou, you won’t be able to buy it at a reasonable price, but you can still buy it if you pay a high price.

"How much did these bottles of wine cost?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Eight dollars."

"Huh! Eight yuan for four bottles of Erguotou?" Li Jiayi asked speechlessly.

"Yes! They are all the same price."

"Bullshit, do you believe it? I can buy a bottle at the supply and marketing cooperative for 70 cents."

"This……"

If someone else said this, Li Chengqian certainly wouldn't believe it, but since it was Li Jiayi who said this, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Forget it, I've already bought it, I can't return it! Just don't buy it next time."

"All right!"

Actually, it doesn’t matter, because it won’t be long before the price returns to its original price, and you won’t be able to buy such expensive Erguotou in the future.

Just when Li Jiayi was chatting with his eldest brother in the main room, his eldest sister came back on a bicycle.

Just at this time, Ye Xin had almost finished cooking the meal.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, with chicken, fish and meat, and the staple food today was steamed buns.

As soon as they finished eating, Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen came over.

When she came in, she saw Ye Xin feeding Liao Qingxue egg custard with a spoon. Xu Wenwen hurried over and said, "Sister-in-law, let me do it!"

"Okay, this girl has eaten a lot, just feed her a little more and it will be enough. Don't feed her too much at night, it will cause indigestion."

"Okay sister-in-law."

Liao Kai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two, and handed one to Li Aimin.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as not smoking in front of children, and no one mentions this.

After lighting up his cigarette and taking a few puffs, Liao Kai turned to Li Jiayi and said, "Bring back some flour tomorrow. We don't have much food at home."

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"One hundred and fifty kilograms of flour and fifty kilograms of rice."

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Uncle Liao, there is no need to store food in the future, just make something to eat first."

"What do you mean?" Liao Kai asked in confusion.

"Summer harvest is coming soon. There is no shortage of rain this year, so we will have a bumper harvest."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kaiteng stood up and asked, "Are you saying that the difficult times are over?"

Li Jia nodded and said, "You can understand it this way. I guess the summer harvest is also the time to restore the quota."

"Great."

Liao Kai has not had a good time in recent years, not at home, but at the factory.

When the workers don't have enough to eat, they not only blame the factory leaders, but also the chef!

Although they didn't curse him to his face, he knew that others cursed him. Sometimes the workers were so hungry that they would even resort to violence.

"Plus one, does that mean the factory will resume supply soon?"

"Yes."

"Will you send wild boars to the factory in the future?"

"We will deliver it. The grain supply will be restored soon, but if the meat processing plant wants to supply meat to the factory, it will probably take at least a year or two."

"why?"

Xu Wenwen put down the bowl and spoon and said, "Are you stupid? Can a pig grow up in one day? Even if we start raising pigs now, it will take several months for them to grow up."

Liao Kai scratched his head and said, "That's right! And it's impossible to raise a lot when we just start breeding."
