Chapter 307: You can’t stand me but you can’t kill me

However, this does not include Li Jiayi's family, because after breakfast in the morning, Li Aimin and Ye Xin went to work.

Moreover, Li Jiaqi, Li Jiayi's child, was not told to buy the food back.

Are you kidding? There are so many people queuing up, I don’t know how long it will end. His family is not short of food, why should he join in the fun?
Li Jiayi was driving his tricycle on the street and saw people everywhere.

I just don’t know how low the price of meat will drop now that the rationing has been restored.

Needless to say, grain prices will definitely return to their previous prices. Now it all depends on the price of meat.

The quantitative recovery mentioned now only refers to grain, and there is no meat because meat coupons have not yet been issued.

If there was meat this month, the meat coupons would have been distributed last month, but they were not, which means there was no meat.

In fact, this is very normal. Even if we have food now, if we want to raise pigs, we can’t do it without a year or half a year.

However, now that the food ration has been restored, the Pigeon Market should be open again. I'll go to the Pigeon Market to take a look later.

After wandering around outside for a whole day, Li Jiayi did nothing because he basically went out to buy food. Except for the grain station, many other things were deserted.

"Son, take your grain book and go buy grain tomorrow." Ye Xin said to him when they returned home.

"Okay mom, I'll go buy it tomorrow."

Li Jiayi agreed very well, but he would not actually go to buy grain. It would be better for him to exchange the ration on the grain book for grain coupons.

Why buy it if no one will eat it? It would be better to exchange it for food coupons and then sell it.

Also, Li Jiayi is short of food coupons! Yes, all the food coupons he got before were sold during the three difficult years.

So he is very short of food coupons now, but what he lacks is not local food coupons, but national food coupons.

This thing will still be very useful to him in the future, and he can use it when he goes out.

Of course, this does not refer to its use in the imperial capital, but in other places.

Just as Li Jiayi was about to walk into the house, Liao Kai ran in hurriedly.

"Plus one, you know what? The sea..."

Just when Liao Kai was about to say something, he saw Li Aimin and Ye Xin were nearby and stopped immediately.

"Xiao Kai, what did you want to say just now?" Li Aimin asked.

"Brother Li, it's nothing. I want to talk to Jiayi about something."

Li Aimin looked at the two people suspiciously and did not ask any more questions.

Then Liao Kai pulled Li Jiayi aside and whispered, "Did you know? Hai Dafu is looking for the Housing Management Department to help him find a house."

"Oh! Really? That's great. When he returns the house, you can ask the Housing Management Department to issue you a certificate."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kai scratched his head and said, "This may be a bit difficult."

"Why? Won't there be an empty house by then?"

"Plus one! You don't know, housing is in such short supply right now. I still have a house to live in, but there are still many people who don't have one yet!"

"Uncle Liao, do you want me to find someone to help you get the house?"

"No, no, I want to ask you to see if you can directly contact the street office to rent the house to me, and I will pay for the rent of the other room myself."

You can rent a house from the housing management department of the factory. The factory provides subsidies. For example, for Liao Kai’s current house, he only needs to pay 50 cents per month, and the factory subsidizes one yuan.

If he moved to the two rooms in the west wing, he would have to pay the full rent himself, which was three yuan per month for two rooms, because he did not have a certificate issued by the factory.

But one thing is, in that case, the house he lives in now will still be his and he can continue to rent it.

"Uncle Liao, why waste that money? How about this? When Hai Dafu moves out, I'll go to the factory and tell them. I just don't know if you still want the room you're renting now?"

Liao Kai scratched his head and said, "If the factory wants to issue a certificate, why do I need this room?"

"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me! If I don't have time, I will also write a letter to Director Qiao."

"can."

"Of course, Uncle Liao, if you want to keep the room you're renting now, you don't have to go to the factory, you can rent a room directly from the street office. But in that case, there will be no subsidy for these two rooms."

Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Liao Kai looked at him and asked, "Jiayi, what do you think is more appropriate?"

Of course Li Jiayi knew what would be the most appropriate approach, which was to rent all three rooms.

You have to know that in a dozen years, houses like this that are not privately owned can be bought outright, and at a very cheap price.

Of course, this also has a prerequisite, that is, you have been renting, you can't buy the house that others are renting!
This can be bought out, but is only limited to the house you live in at the time.

"Uncle Liao, if I were you, I would rent all three houses."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, although Liao Kai didn't understand why, he already had a plan in mind.

You don’t need to look at others for this! Just look at Li Jiayi and you will know.

Li Jiayi has more houses than he can live in now, but he still rented the west wing of Courtyard No. 5.

Moreover, after renting the house, or even after the renovation, no one has lived in it, which makes people feel that they have wasted so much money on renting a house.

But even so, Li Jiayi still rented it. What does this mean? It means that this house will be useful in the future!

"Okay, I'll rent all three rooms as you said."

"Well, that's easy. I'll take you directly to see Director Xu later."

It’s only three dollars a month. Even if you rent it for more than ten years, two rooms will only cost a few hundred dollars. You can then spend some money to buy it out. It’s such a good deal!

The two of them chatted for a while, and then Liao Kai went back. It was a bit early to say this now, and Hai Dafu hadn't left yet. The next morning after breakfast, Li Jiayi came out of the house with the grain book.

When I arrived at the grain station, I saw that there were still so many people there. Well, there were so many people lining up yesterday, so some people must have not been able to buy anything.

It’s not that the grain station has no grain, it’s just that the good-looking ones have been closed before we can buy them.

State-owned units like this won't let you work overtime because you get the same salary whether you work overtime or not.

If that's the case, who would work overtime? Unless their head is squeezed by the door.

This is why so many state-owned enterprises went bankrupt in the 1990s!

This was also the drawback of state-owned units at that time. Many state-owned units were closed down by individual businesses.

Especially state-owned stores, state-owned department stores and so on.

Of course, it is absolutely fine now! Because now you can only buy it here, and you can't buy it anywhere else.

With so many people queuing up, Li Jiayi certainly wouldn't just wait there like an idiot!
Anyway, he is not in a hurry, so just do what he needs to do.

Just then, Li Jiayi drove a tricycle to the military compound.

Coming here was no different from going home, and no one even stopped him for inspection.

That’s right. In the past few years, Li Jiayi has come here so many times that no one would check on him!

After entering the military compound, Li Jiayi drove the tricycle directly to the door of Old Li's house. Seeing that the gate was open, he drove in.

"Is Xiao Li here?" Hearing the noise, Aunt Zhang came out of the house.

"Auntie Zhang, are you home alone?" Li Jiayi asked.

"No, Chief Li is also at home?"

The Chief Li that Zhang Ma was talking about was of course Old Li.

"Hey, this old Li is so arrogant! He didn't even come out to greet me when he saw me coming."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "We have guests."

"Uh! All right!"

"Come here, Aunt Zhang, help me get something." Li Jia started to take things down from the tricycle.

Although the ration has been restored now, he still sent some rice and flour over.

Not much, fifty kilograms of rice and fifty kilograms of noodles, and of course, meat! In addition, there are ten kilograms of pork and ten kilograms of pork fat.

In addition to these, there are some fruits, sesame paste and sesame salt, and a few big watermelons.

After Aunt Zhang had taken in the lighter items, Li Jiayi went in carrying a bag of rice and a bag of noodles, only to find that the customer was a woman in her forties.

Li Jiayi had never seen this lesbian before. This was the first time he met her.

"You little brat, don't you know how to say hello?" Old Li said when he saw Li Jiayi coming in.

"Come here, hold these things and say hello so I can see. Hey, Old Li, where do you get so many bad habits?" Li Jiayi said as he put the things down.

"You brat."

Old Li was ready to pretend! Unexpectedly, he failed to pretend. He also didn't expect that this guy would not give him face in front of outsiders.

"Mr. Li, who is this beautiful auntie...?" Li Jiayi came over, looked at the female comrade and asked.

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "I didn't ask! I was helping Auntie Tian keep an eye on you to prevent you from making mistakes."

"What are you talking about, you little brat! I think you deserve to be punished."

Li Jiayi curled his lips. Although Lao Li was indeed very powerful when he was young, he is old now. If a real fight were to break out, it's not certain who will win!

"Brother Li, who is this young comrade?" asked the middle-aged female comrade.

"This is Li Jiayi, a disrespectful brat."

"Jiayi, this is your Aunt Chen, the lover of one of my comrades."

"Hello, Aunt Chen. I'm used to joking with Lao Li. Please don't mind."

"No, I can tell by looking at the two of you," said Aunt Chen.

"Hey, I'm used to it. I can't change it in a short time, even if Auntie Tian is here."

"This is good. I've never seen Brother Li do this with anyone else."

"That's right. If someone else dared to do this, I would have killed him long ago." Old Li said to Li Jiayi.

"I say, Lao Li, if you don't like me, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush. I should be the other person you are talking about!"

Old Li curled his lips and said, "It would be better if you were someone else."

"Old Li, I actually like your current expression. You can't stand me, but you can't get rid of me."

"Go away."

"Hahahaha!" Aunt Chen burst out laughing when she saw Mr. Li getting humiliated.
