"Okay, go play!" Li Jiayi put the little girl on the ground.

"Yes!" The little girl nodded, ran to her elder sister, handed her a White Rabbit candy and said, "Sister, have some candy."

"Sister doesn't want to eat it, you eat it yourself!" said the eldest sister, shaking her head.

"Oh!" The little girl then handed the candy to Zheng Lingling and said, "Sister, have some candy."

Zheng Lingling also shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat it, you eat it yourself!"

The little girl looked at Li Jiaqi, then at Zheng Lingling. She must have been very confused!

Why don’t the sisters eat candy?

Li Jiayi went over and brewed a large enamel pot of tea, then moved over a recliner and lay down.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. One day, Li Jiayi took his family's grain book to the grain station and exchanged the ration on the book for tickets.

Then we went to Pigeon City for fun. Yes, we went to Pigeon City for fun.

Although the price of pigeon meat is still very high in the market, Li Jiayi has no plans to sell it.

There is no way. There is not much pork in stock, and now we can only meet the demand of the black market and people like Wu Ye.

Besides, Li Jiayi doesn’t need much money now, so he should try to exchange it for antiques and gold.

Of course, he didn't just play for fun. If he came across national food coupons for sale, he would buy them.

The main thing is that this thing is not worth much, only 25 cents per pound. Even if you buy 10,000 pounds, it will only cost 2,500 yuan.

This amount of money is nothing to Li Jiayi.

Unfortunately, there are very few national food coupons for sale in Pigeon Market, at least not yet. Also, the ration has only been restored for more than a month.

There aren't that many people with extra tickets.

However, in the past few days, he also bought about 100 kilograms of national food coupons, but he bought them from a ticket scalper.

He didn't buy even a kilogram from an individual, which is understandable.

When I returned home in the evening, I found that there was a guest at home. The guest was He Yuzhu, who was standing in the yard.

"Brother Zhuzi." Li Jiayi greeted He Yuzhu.

"Yeah!" He Yuzhu smiled and nodded.

"Let's go inside and talk!" said Li Jiayi.

"Ok."

"You little brat, you don't even say hello to your father." Li Aimin shouted when he saw Li Jiayi walking into the house.

Li Jiayi turned his head, rolled his eyes at him and said, "Dad, I'm back."

"Ugh! This..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Li Jiayi brought He Yuzhu into the house.

"Brother Zhuzi, have you thought about it?"

"Yeah!" He Yuzhu nodded and said, "It's mainly because the old lady said that if I continue to live in that courtyard, there will be a lot of mess in the future."

Li Jiayi smiled and said, "The old lady is a sensible person! So are you planning to move here?"

"Yes."

"Well, let's do this! I'll get the job done for you first, and you can take this opportunity to get your chef certification."

"Yeah! I thought so too, and I have already signed up for the exam, which will be this Friday morning."

"Okay, great."

"By the way, Jiayi, where do you plan to let your sister Meilian work?"

"Brother Zhuzi, I can't help Meilian find a job at the Second Steel Rolling Mill, so Meilian has to go to either the wool spinning mill or the bakery."

"Then let's go to the woolen mill! It's a big mill anyway."

"Okay, I see."

He Yuzhu didn't stay here for long. After finishing his work, he rode away on his bike.

The house here is ready and can be occupied at any time, so he will be very busy these days.

Not only am I busy with exams, I'm also busy with getting married, and I also have to rent out the house over there.

The next morning, Li Jiayi came to the machine repair factory. He just happened to arrive there to deliver meat.

The machine repair shop is now very wealthy! It needs 1,000 kilograms of pork at a time. Although pork is cheaper now, it still costs 7.5 yuan per kilogram!

This was his third time delivering meat to the machine repair shop today, so he was pretty familiar with the route.

After delivering the meat to the canteen, Li Jiayi did not rush to collect the money, but went directly to the factory director's office.

"Knock knock knock!" Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

When I pushed the door open and went in, I saw Liu Feng sitting in the office looking at materials.

"Director Liu." Li Jiayi shouted.

"Hey, Xiao Li, please take a seat." Liu Feng quickly stood up and walked out from behind the desk.

"Why are you here?" Liu Feng picked up an enamel pot and asked while pouring water.

"I came to see you for something!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Feng put the enamel pot filled with water in front of Li Jiayi and asked.

"It's like this, I want Director Liu to do me a favor."

"Oh! You said, I will definitely not refuse if you can help me." Liu Feng said.

"It's like this, I have a relative who is a chef. As for his skills, let's put it this way! He is definitely not worse than Nan Yi, and he is good at Tan's cuisine and Sichuan cuisine."

He Yuzhu is not worse than Nan Yi! If they were really compared, He Yuzhu might even be better.

There is no way, because Nan Yi’s cooking has limitations and he is good at local cuisine.

"Jia Yi! Do you want him to come to work in our factory?"

"Uh! Director Liu, no, I don't plan to let him come here to work."

"We don't allow him to work in our factory, so what do you mean by telling me this?" Liu Feng was a little confused.

"Director Liu, you should know a lot of people in the Second Steel Rolling Mill! You may even know the director."

"Ah! After all this time, you want me to recommend him to the Second Steel Rolling Mill?"

"Yes! I don't know if I can."

"Of course you can, but you have to tell me about his situation, otherwise how can I tell others!"

"Of course I have to say this. His name is He Yuzhu. He is currently working as a chef at the Third Steel Rolling Mill. He..."

"Wait, who are you talking about?" Liu Feng interrupted Li Jiayi and asked before he could finish.

"He Yuzhu! Oh! By the way, everyone calls him Shazhu."

"What? Stupid?"

"Yes! Director Liu knows him?"

"I know it very well. There are many factory managers in the capital who don't know Sha Zhu."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, but also a little speechless.

It can also be seen from here how many people have eaten at the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

"Jia Yi! If he is Sha Zhu, why did you ask me to introduce him to the Second Steel Rolling Mill? Why not just come to our factory directly?"

Li Jiayi scratched his head. He didn't expect this to happen, but he still said, "Director Liu, Sha Zhu is now a level three chef!"

Although He Yuzhu has not taken the exam yet, Li Jiayi believes that he will definitely be able to pass the third level.

"Level three?"

"Yes, next year it might be level two. It seems that there is no way to arrange it for me to come to the machine repair shop?"

The machine repair shop is relatively small. We already have Nan Yi, so adding He Yuzhu would be a bit too much.

The most important thing is that there is no position for He Yuzhu.

Let me put it this way! If He Yuzhu didn't have a chef's license, then everything would be fine.

Even if he is promoted to level six, it would be fine, but he currently has a level three chef certificate, so another position should be arranged for him as compensation.

Moreover, this position must be related to the canteen. Nan Yi was just arranged to the position of deputy director of the canteen some time ago, but now there is no position for him.

"Okay, I'll take some time off at noon to go to the Second Steel Rolling Mill. I don't think I need to introduce myself too much. As long as I say I'm Sha Zhu, people will know who I am."

"Yes! By the way, Director Liu, Sha Zhu is going to take an apprentice with him, so you should also let him know."

"Okay, I see."

After coming out of Liu Feng’s office, Li Jiayi went to the finance department to collect the money, and then went to the cafeteria.

Nan Yi was not here just now and he didn’t see him. He should be back by now!
It's still early for noon, but the cafeteria is very busy. I guess except for the chef Nan Yi, everyone is busy.

When Li Jiayi came in, he happened to see two people carrying vegetable washing water to pour it out, so he asked, "Is Master Nan back?"

"Director Nan is back. Please wait a moment. I will call him for you right away."

"Okay, thank you."

The two people poured the vegetable washing water outside and went in to help him call for help.

Li Jiayi had never expected that it had only been a short time, and Nan Yi had already become the canteen director. He just didn't know if he was the director or the deputy director. He should be the deputy director!

Unless he is no longer a chef, those who are still working as chefs usually have a deputy position as compensation from the factory.

"Jiayi, didn't you leave?" Nan Yi asked after coming over.

"No, you were not here when I came just now. Look, you are here again after collecting the money."

"That's it!"

"But Director Nan, you can do it! It's only been a short time! You're the director now."

"Deputy, to be honest, I was able to become the deputy director probably because of you."

"Because of me?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.

"Yes, I guess the factory wanted to use me to win you over, so they gave me the position of deputy director, otherwise why didn't they give it to me before!"

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Maybe you couldn't meet the standards before."

"impossible."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Now that you are the deputy director, that Cui Da hasn't made a fuss, right?"

"What a fuss! He was transferred to the warehouse to work as a porter."

"Uh! No way! Would he be willing to do that?"

Nan Yi shrugged and said, "What can I do if I don't want to? It's up to the factory leader to decide where to transfer you to, and you have no choice but to go."

"That's true." Li Jiayi nodded in agreement.

Factories cannot fire employees at will, but there is a prerequisite, which is that they must do their job well.

What is your job? It is whatever the factory asks you to do.

You say you don't want to do it, that's fine! If the workers don't work, then it's okay to fire you, right?

Don't talk about Cui Dake! He Yuzhu is such a troublemaker. He was transferred from the kitchen to the workshop. He had to do the job anyway.

As long as you work hard, the factory cannot fire you no matter how well you do.

"But Master Nan, that kid is not a good guy, you still have to be careful."

"Ok, I know."

To be honest, Nan Yi is not safe now. Let's put it this way! As long as Cui Dake stays in the factory for one more day, he will not be safe.

You have to know that people like Cui Dake are particularly good at scheming. As long as you give him the opportunity, he will rise again.

Especially during the ten-year period, he was an active figure.

"By the way, Master Nan, have you taken the chef certification exam?"

"Take a chef's license exam? What's the point of taking that exam?" Nan Yi said indifferently.

Li Jiayi patted his forehead. Needless to say, Nan Yi's thoughts were exactly the same as He Yuzhu's.

They are people who value craftsmanship and don't care about certificates or anything like that.

"Master Nan! You are different now. If you were just a chef, it wouldn't matter whether you took the exam or not. But now you are the deputy director, so you must be compensated to prevent others from doing bad things behind your back. It's better for you to take the exam."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "You are right. It's hard for others to say, but Cui Dake will definitely do something bad."

"Then you'd better take some time today to sign up, because the exam will be on Friday. For those who are taking the exam for the first time, you can directly take the Level 3 chef certificate."

"Well! In the afternoon, let's go! I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I'll take a leave and go over there."

"it is good."

Li Jiayi did not get involved in Nan Yi's emotional issues, because in his heart, he was more inclined to Liang Ladi.

Liang Ladi may not be a good woman in the traditional sense, but she is definitely a good wife and a good mother.

To be honest, Li Jiayi admires such a woman.

Both are women, both are widows, and both are mothers, but Qin Huairu and Liang Ladi are definitely two extremes.

One could even say that the two people are simply not comparable. Most people admire Liang Ladi for what she did.

Looking at what Qin Huairu did, most people gritted their teeth and wished they could kill her.

After chatting with Nan Yi for a few more words, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle away from the machine repair shop.

After leaving the machine repair factory, Li Jiayi went to the woolen spinning factory. There should be no problem with He Yuzhu.

After all, He Yuzhu was famous! He was poached by many factories, but at that time, He Yuzhu didn't go anywhere.

When he arrived at the woolen mill, Li Jiayi thought for a moment and then went straight to the office of Director Qiao Xinrong.

It's better not to bother two people with the same matter. Since I got the quota from Director Qiao before, I'll go to him this time.

Let me put it this way! If Li Jiayi went to the deputy director's office now, whether he could get a quota or not, Director Qiao would definitely think twice if he knew about it.

This is human nature. If it were him, he would probably think of something else.

"Knock knock knock!" Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Director Qiao." Li Jiayi pushed open the door and shouted with a smile.

"Li Jiayi, why are you here? Please take a seat."

"Ok!"

After Li Jiayi sat down, Director Qiao said, "Today is not the day for delivering meat! Are you here for something else?"

"That's right." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "I want to ask you for two more job vacancies."

Li Jiayi is still very direct. Besides, even if he beats around the bush, he still has to say it in the end.

"We need two places! What is the educational background?"

“They all graduated from junior high school.”

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Director Qiao opened the drawer, took out two employment forms and placed them on the desk.

"That's just you. I won't give it to you no matter what others say, but these are the only two we have this year."

"I understand, Director. Don't worry! I won't ask for it again this year."

The number of job vacancies is limited, even for the factory director Qiao Xinrong, it is impossible for him to have so many vacancies.

"It's good that you know it. Also, you can't say outside that it was me who gave it to you."

"Got it. I won't tell anyone else."

"Ok!"

"By the way, you will graduate in two years, and you must come to work right after graduation."

"understand!"

Are you kidding? Qiao Xinrong went through so much trouble just to get Li Jiayi to come to work in the factory.

"Also, next time you come to deliver meat, come to my office. Your rank should be raised."

For unplanned buyers, if they can exceed their targets for three consecutive months, they will basically be promoted one level.

But it’s not easy to exceed the target! And for three consecutive months.

You have to know that for an unplanned purchaser, even if he can complete the task, let alone exceed the target, he is already outstanding.

This is not the case when there is a natural disaster. Let's put it this way! For most buyers, it would be good if they can complete their tasks in one-third of the months of the year.

"Ah! Upgrade! I like this."

"You kid." Qiao Xinrong shook his head.

But then again, it is really unreasonable for Li Jiayi not to be promoted, because he has not only exceeded the quota.

Although he does not come to work in the factory, isn't this the privilege of an unplanned materials purchaser?
"By the way, you are still at administrative level 30, right?"

"Yes, Director."

"Okay, I see."

Since joining the company, Li Jiayi has not been promoted. According to normal regulations, he could have been promoted several levels, but unfortunately he is just a non-staff member.

After getting two employment forms, Li Jiayi left. It was still early, so he went to Pigeon City.

He was not selling anything now. When he arrived at the Pigeon Market, he parked his tricycle outside, locked it, and then went into the Pigeon Market.

"Young comrade, are you buying or selling tickets?" As soon as I entered, a middle-aged man came up to me and asked.

Generally speaking, people who ask this question are ticket scalpers. If not, they will ask you what kind of tickets you want to buy or sell.

The question is single-minded. For example, if the other party wants to buy food coupons, he will ask you: "Do you sell food coupons?"
"Do you have national food coupons?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Yes, but not much."

"It doesn't matter. I'll take as many as you have."

"Okay! I have twelve kilograms of national food coupons here. If you want them, I'll give them all to you."

"Okay." Li Jiayi took out a three-yuan note from his pocket and handed it over. Li Jiayi had quite a few of these three-yuan notes, not because he was planning to keep them for appreciation in the future, but mainly because they were relatively rare.

The one he took out now was not exchanged from the bank, but the money he received from selling things, and it was quite worn out.

Li Jiayi has a complete set of the second series of RMB, and all of them are in bundles with consecutive numbers.

They were all taken out from the bank and put directly into the space, so it can be said that there is no wear and tear at all.

He kept these for his collection, and when the third set came out, he exchanged a lot of them.

When the third set first came out, you just deposited the money into the bank and then took it out.

All the money you withdraw is in the brand new third set of RMB, and you can also specify the denomination you want.

For people with little money, it is difficult to exchange them all one by one, but for Li Jiayi, it is as easy as pie.

After the transaction, the middle-aged man asked, "Do you want other tickets?"

"Yes! Do you have cloth coupons? Tobacco and alcohol coupons, non-staple food coupons, and sugar coupons are all fine."

"Oh! Comrade, the tickets you want are in great demand! Sorry, I don't have any."

"Forget it if there's nothing. I'll take another look."

"it is good."

There are really few tickets nowadays. Not only are there few food coupons nationwide, but tobacco and alcohol coupons are even harder to come by, not to mention sugar coupons and non-staple food coupons.

Of course, cloth coupons and cotton coupons were also in great short supply, but Li Jiayi no longer needed cotton coupons.

He has planted cotton in the space several times, and now there is a lot of this stuff in the space.

At noon, Li Jiayi did not go home. Instead, he took his food to the courtyard and had a meal with the fat man.

After staying in the courtyard until about two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the machine repair shop.

At this time, Liu Feng should have returned from the Second Steel Rolling Mill, so he wanted to go and see the results.

After arriving at the machine repair factory, Li Jia went straight to Liu Feng's office.

After knocking on the door and entering, Liu Feng saw that it was him and said quickly, "Hurry up and sit down."

"Director Liu, how is it?"

Liu Feng took out two employment forms and handed them over, saying, "Go back and have them fill them out, and then go directly to work."

"Just give it to you directly?" Li Jiayi picked up the employment form, looked at it and asked.

"Of course, plus one! You still don't know much about Shazhu! Otherwise, there would be no need to worry."

"I wasn't worried, I just didn't expect it to be done so quickly."

"By the way, after Shazhu arrived there, he served as the chef squad leader of the First Canteen, with a work grade of Level 6. He also served as the deputy director of the First Canteen."

"That's fine! In this case, I can make around 70 or 80 yuan a month!"

"almost."

"That's good. I thought it would take two or three months to get it up!"

Liu Feng shook his head and said, "Others may need it, but Shazhu doesn't."

"All right!"

"By the way, Sha Zhu's apprentice was also given a position as a level 10 cook at the Second Steel Rolling Mill."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment. Ma Hua should have only been working for a short time!

Normally, it takes at least three years of apprenticeship before one can become a full-time employee.

Yes, the position of level 10 cook is not recognized outside, and this level only exists in factories.

It is equivalent to an apprentice becoming a regular employee, and the monthly salary is 27.5 yuan.

In addition to the tenth-level cook, there is also a ninth-level cook, which is equivalent to the third or fourth stove position in the factory canteen.

I can already cook on my own, and my salary is 31.5 yuan, which is the highest among all employees at this level in the factory canteen.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise for Ma Hua! They were about to lose even their master, but unexpectedly they were promoted to full-time employees. How can they justify this?

"Director Liu, thank you."

"You're welcome, and I recommended Sha Zhu to the Second Steel Rolling Mill, and they treated me well. Not only did they treat me to good wine, but they also prepared a very sumptuous meal for me."

After hearing what Liu Feng said, Li Jiayi realized how famous He Yuzhu was.

And this name was given to him by the Third Steel Rolling Mill. If it weren't for the extravagant and drinking culture at the Third Steel Rolling Mill, he wouldn't have been so famous.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Liao Kai and Nan Yi. Their skills are no worse than He Yuzhu’s, but in terms of fame, it is estimated that the two of them combined are not even one-tenth as famous as He Yuzhu.

After receiving the employment form, Li Jiayi chatted with Liu Feng for a while before leaving the machine repair factory.

Although it was still early, he had no plans to go to Pigeon City again, but went straight home.

When I got home, my eldest sister was giving Jiafen extra lessons with Liao Qingxue.

My second sister and her three best friends are playing poker.

"Lingling, stop playing for now and go home to call your elder brother over." Li Jiayi said to Zheng Lingling.

"Okay, brother Jiayi." Zheng Lingling put the cards on the table and ran out.

"Second sister, go see if Sister Meilian is at home. If she is, ask her to come over."

"Okay! I'll go take a look." The second sister also put the cards on the table and ran out.

Soon Zheng Changrong came over and asked, "Jiayi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Here you go. After you fill it out, go directly to the woolen mill to start work."

"Ah! This... this is..."

"Yes, this is the entry form. Just fill it out according to what is said on it. It's not bad. It's a clerk system. Once you are hired, you will be a formal employee."

"Same as my sister." Sun Qingmei said.

"That's right. Last time there were only two spots, and I gave them to your sister first. This time we just happened to get two more."

"Plus one, thank you!"

"You're welcome. Okay, go back and fill out the forms! As for when to go and apply for employment, that's up to you."

"Yeah! Thank you plus one."

"Okay, I already thanked you just now, don't say thank you to me again, I can't hear it."

"Okay! Then I'll go back and tell my mom."

"Go!"

"Xiao Jiayi, why did you call me over here?" Qian Meilin asked after coming in.

"Sister Meilian, take a look at this." Li Jiayi said as he handed over a piece of employment form.

"It's an employment form, or an employment form for the woolen mill?" Qian Meilin said in surprise.

"Yes, this is what I promised Brother Zhuzi. I will help you get a job. This is a formal job!"

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you plus one."

No one knows how Qian Meilian managed to get by doing odd jobs over the years. Only by experiencing this can one know what this job means.

"Okay, Sister Meilian, don't thank me anymore. By the way, you need to inform Brother Zhuzi. I have two employment forms here, one for Brother Zhuzi and his apprentice."

Qian Meilian was stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked, "Jiayi, does He Yuzhu also work in the canteen of the wool spinning factory?"

"No, didn't Brother Zhuzi tell you?"

"No, he just told me that he was going to work here and live here."

"Well, Brother Zhuzi doesn't work at the wool spinning mill, but at the Second Steel Rolling Mill, as a Level 6 cook and also serves as deputy director of the canteen."

"What?" Qian Meilin looked at Li Jiayi in surprise.

"Sister Meilian, you heard me right, so I'd like you to notify Brother Zhuzi and ask him to come over."

"Okay, I got it. Lend me your bike and I'll go tell him right now."

"Okay, the bike is outside, you can ride it at will."

After Qian Meilin left, Li Jiayi also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it was really tiring to look for a job with others.

The second sister and her friends continued playing cards. Li Jiayi was afraid of the noise, so he went upstairs.

Li Jiayi locked the door from the inside, entered the space, and continued to cook sorghum.

Yes, he is still brewing wine now, but unfortunately it takes a lot of time to burn the wine vats at the pottery factory, otherwise he could brew wine in large quantities.

But it’s pretty good now. It’s not that tiring. I just steam some every day, take it out for fermentation, and then distill it into liquor.

At around five o'clock, Li Jiayi came down from upstairs and saw He Yuzhu as soon as he came down.

Needless to say, He Yuzhu got off work early again and came here. Probably because he was sleeping, no one called him.

"Brother Zhuzi, when did you come?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Around four o'clock! I don't know the exact time."

When Li Jia heard him say this, he shook his head, then went over and took out two employment forms from his schoolbag.

"Brother Zhuzi, take a look yourself and see if there is anything wrong. Oh, the other one is from Ma Hua."

He Yuzhu didn't even look at it and said directly: "What's the problem with this?"

"Plus one! I heard from your sister Meilian that the No. 2 Steel Rolling Mill gave me a level 6 cook, right?"

"That's right! In addition, there is also the deputy director of the cafeteria, which is considered as compensation for you."

"Hahaha, okay, I'll move here after I get married, and then go to work."

"Well! Anyway, there's no specific time, so you can decide for yourself."

"That kid Ma Hua also got a level 10 cook. If he knew about this, he would be so happy." He Yuzhu said with emotion.

How could he not be happy when he had almost three years of apprenticeship shortened? Even if he learned slowly, he would at least be a level nine cook after three years!

"Brother Zhuzi, there's no need to ask Ma Hua to come over. Just take him back."

"Well! Leave this to me."

"it is good!"

Just when He Yuzhu and Qian Meilin were about to get married, a major event happened in Courtyard No. 7.

That means Peng Zhanquan's family in the backyard moved away, but no one in the yard knew where they moved to.

But the people who moved here surprised Li Jiayi for a long time and he was a little bit unbelievable.

Because the person who moved here was none other than Nan Yi. Yes, it was Nan Yi. This was why Li Jiayi was surprised.

But he soon remembered that Peng Zhanquan seemed to be working in the machine repair factory!

Needless to say, it was related to him again, because he seemed to have said at the time that someone in the hospital worked in the machine repair factory.

Li Jiayi was very happy when Nan Yi came, because he was alone, so that night, Li Jiayi called Nan Yi to his home and asked Nan Yi to cook a table of dishes.

Since it is a celebration, of course Liao Kai’s family cannot be missing!

However, from beginning to end, Liao Kai did not help. It was not that he did not want to help, but that he was not allowed to help.

After all, what everyone wants to taste is Nan Yi's cooking. If Liao Kai goes to help, the dishes will be messy.

Now it was perfect for Nan Yi. He lived in three rooms by himself, and they were all the same size as the main house.

In fact, it is quite suitable. Don't forget that there will be quite a few people in Nan Yi's family in the future! At least more than Liao Kai's family.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the month. He Yuzhu and Qian Meilin had already gotten married and were now living in Li Jiayi's house.

Moreover, He Yuzhu not only brought his sister, but also brought the deaf old lady.

As for the houses over there, they have all been rented out, and the rent there is just enough to pay the rent here.

But the place is much bigger! Not only that, there is a bathroom in the room, and most importantly, it is a small courtyard.

He Yuzhu can not only walk out from Courtyard No. 5, but also go through the newly opened moon gate to Li Jia's family and walk out from Courtyard No. 7.

From this day on, two more people came to cook for Li Jia's family.

Now you can even order dishes. There are three chefs here. Not all dishes can be prepared, but they are pretty close.

Li Jiafen's admission has also been completed and she can go to school directly in two days.

All schools in the entire imperial capital have resumed classes.

No matter what others say, it is impossible for my second sister to sleep in anymore. Even if primary and secondary schools do not resume classes, she cannot sleep in because she has to go to technical secondary school!
In the blink of an eye, it was June of 1963. A lot of changes had taken place in that year.

Although we started paying back our debt to the Russians in early 1963, we have now started supplying pork after such a long period of recovery.

However, the supply was very small, with only two taels of fresh meat per person per month. Although it had not returned to the standard before 1958, it had finally started to be supplied.

Also because of this, the price of pigeon meat has also dropped, and pork has finally returned to one yuan per catty.

Now if you go to the pigeon market, you can buy chickens if you are lucky, and eggs are often available.

The pork ration has not returned to its previous level, probably due to debt repayment.

This year, Li Jiayi was relatively honest and hardly went out. Even his peanut, melon seeds and beef jerky business came to a halt.

He no longer needs to sell peanuts and melon seeds to accumulate funds. At the moment, he has no need for any money at all.

Besides, everyone has started school now, and he doesn't want his brothers to focus all their energy on this.

You still have to go to school. Even if you can't get into college, you have to finish high school.

What's more, even if he doesn't sell peanuts and melon seeds, he still has ways to make money. Don't forget that he has not lost the black market, including that of Master Wu.

And for various reasons, whether it is the black market or Mr. Wu, he now starts to accept cash.

There was no other way because he had collected too many antiques and yellow croakers of all sizes. It was very troublesome to find these things either on the black market or from Master Wu.

In the words of Black Market Dragon Lord: All I have now is money, nothing else.

What else could Li Jiayi say when things had come to this? He could only start accepting cash.

Cash will still be usable after 1966, but it is of no use now.

After dinner that night, Li Jiayi called the family together, then looked at the eldest sister and asked, "Sister, have you thought about where you are going after graduation?"

Yes, my eldest sister is about to graduate. After she finishes her exams, she will truly graduate and it will be time to assign her a job.

"Where are you going? Isn't it an assignment?" The eldest sister looked at Li Jiayi puzzledly and asked.

"Sister, you are right. It is indeed an allocation, but if there is a place to accept it, you can send a letter to the school."

"Ah! Is this possible?"

"Yes, so have you decided where to go?"

Li Jiaqi thought for a while and said, "I don't know either. I've never thought about it before. I was thinking about going wherever I was assigned to!"

"No! The places assigned by the school are usually not very good. You should think about where you want to go!"

Li Jiaqi looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Little brother, you are smarter than my elder sister. Where do you think my elder sister should go?"

"Uh! This..." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Forget it, sister, I'll tell you a few places, you can choose!"

"Uh-huh!"

"The first place is the Ministry of Light Industry, and most likely the Municipal Light Industry Bureau under it."

"This place is nice!" Ye Xin nodded.

"That's good. Besides, sitting in the office, you can avoid being blown by the wind and rain. How great is that!" Li Aimin nodded in agreement.

Li Jiayi ignored his parents' words and continued, "The second place is the District Public Security Bureau."

“This one is also good.”

"Yes, it's just more tiring, not as comfortable as the Light Industry Bureau."

"The third place is the army. However, the army is not like a unit. You have to start from scratch, but promotion will be no problem."

"Jiaqi, tell me what you think. I think these three places are all good, especially the Light Industry Bureau."

At that time, the Light Industry Bureau was directly under the Ministry of Light Industry! It was a bureau-level unit.

It is even possible to go directly to the Ministry of Light Industry.

Li Jiaqi thought for a moment and looked at Ye Xin and said, "Mom, I don't want to sit in an office for the rest of my life. That's too boring."

"Ah! How nice it is to sit in an office! Look, Mom sits in an office."

Li Jiaqi shook her head and said, "But I don't want to sit in the office."

"Okay then! Then it's the District Public Security Bureau and the army."

Li Jiaqi looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Little brother, I want to go to the district public security bureau. Is it possible?"

Hearing her elder sister's choice, Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Of course it's possible!"

If we talk about the place where Li Jiayi has the strongest connections, it is definitely Lao Li, but there is no way, the eldest sister did not choose the unit.

Apart from the army, there is the district public security bureau, which is much tougher than the Ministry of Light Industry.

Because he wanted to use his connections to the Ministry of Light Industry, he needed the help of Factory Director Qiao Xinrong.

In general, there was a turn in the middle. Although there is no problem, it also depends on how much effort Director Qiao Xinrong puts in.

But it’s different with the District Public Security Bureau. This is Li Jiayi’s own relationship. You know, he has been sending meat and snacks to the District Public Security Bureau for several years!
This relationship is so strong that it can be said to be harder than steel. Even now, Li Jiayi is still delivering meat and food to the district public security bureau.

It can be said that this is also the reason why Li Jiayi has had such an easy life in recent years.

Basically, his case came to an end when it reached the district public security bureau.

“Little brother, if you can, then go to the District Public Security Bureau.”

"Okay, I'll take care of this. You just need to focus on the exam and don't worry about anything else."

"Ok!"

"Son, is it okay for your elder sister to go to the district public security bureau?" Ye Xin asked at this time.

"What is the problem?"

"Son, I'm not asking whether you can go or not. I'm saying that being a police officer is very dangerous."

The eldest sister said at this time: "Mom, I am not afraid of danger. Besides, the really dangerous things may not happen to me."

"Mom is just worried, Jiaqi, don't think too much about it." Ye Xin said quickly.

"Mom, don't worry, I can arrange for me to go in directly. I'm sure they have a good relationship with me and they will take good care of me."
