Chapter 320 Changes, Children Can't
Not long after, Liao Kai came over on a bicycle and stopped next to Li Jiayi.

"Let's go, Uncle Liao."

"Aren't you waiting for your parents to come over?"

"No wait."

"Wait, that's not right, Jiayi. Today doesn't look like Sunday! Your school isn't on holiday today. You're skipping school."

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "You know it, but you're still asking. Let's go."

"Okay!" Liao Kai shook his head and could only follow Li Jiayi back first.

Not long after returning home, Li Aimin and Ye Xin also came back. Seeing Li Jiayi at home, Ye Xin was stunned for a moment.

"Son, why did you come back so early today? Why didn't you come back with your elder sister and second sister?"

"Mom, I didn't go to school today."

"You didn't go to school, you little brat, did you skip school again?" Ye Xin asked speechlessly.

"I went to help my eldest sister with something, and also went to ask for a job for my second brother."

"Uh! Has your eldest sister's business been settled?" Ye Xin hurriedly came up and asked.

"Of course it's done. I sent a letter to the school this morning. There's absolutely no problem with my eldest sister's matter."

"All right!"

At this time, Li Aimin came over and asked, "Son, what's the matter with what you just said about asking for a job quota for your second brother? Your second brother hasn't graduated yet!"

"I know! I just need to come here early. When my second brother graduates, I can fill out the employment form and start working."

"You are really an outrageous kid now. You always ask for job quotas, and they are almost all coming." Li Aimin shook his head speechlessly.

Even though he is now a deputy section chief at level 17, it is estimated that even if he goes, he will not be able to get a job.

Of course, if someone knows his identity and has the money, they will definitely give it to him, but this is based on his own ability.

There are only two job vacancies, there is no need to refuse them.

"Two? Not one?" Li Aimin asked.

"I wanted one, but before I could say anything, Director Qiao handed me two employment forms. I couldn't refuse them. If I did, wouldn't that be a disgrace to him?"

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin and Ye Xin looked at each other and then ignored him.

Because what this guy said was really infuriating! Others wanted it but none of them, but when it came to him, he gave two places before they even asked for them.

Finally, Ye Xin couldn't help but ask, "Who are you going to give the extra spot to?"

"Quota? What quota?" He Yushui came over from the East Courtyard and just happened to hear the word quota and asked.

"The rain is coming, and it's about job vacancies," Ye Xin said.

"Oh!"

He Yushui was born in 1944 and is 19 years old this year. He used to work in a textile factory. Because it was far away, even though he still lived in the original courtyard, he could only go home on Sundays.

Now that he has moved here with He Yuzhu, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. He has actually been hired as an announcer at the Second Steel Rolling Mill.

This has nothing to do with Li Jiayi, but He Yuzhu himself went to their factory director to ask for it.

But she gave her own position to someone else, so it could be considered a trade! However, He Yuzhu gave up his position directly.

Let’s consider it as compensation to Director Yang!

This is He Yuzhu. If it were Li Jiayi, he would definitely sell the job. Even if he didn’t sell it, he would give it to someone else.

Everyone said that Director Yang was good to Sha Zhu, but to be honest, Li Jiayi didn't feel that.

If he was really good to him, He Yuzhu would not have been just an eighth-level cook until now.

He relies on He Yuzhu's craftsmanship to pave the way for himself every day, but he refuses to be promoted. Don't say that he can't be promoted. As a factory director, it is not easy to promote someone.

Besides, if he couldn't be promoted, why would his stupid nephew become a factory cadre when he arrived at the factory? You have to know that he is just a high school student and does not meet the standards to become a cadre.

If you want to work in a factory and become a cadre, the minimum requirement is to graduate from a technical secondary school; high school students are not eligible at all.

It would be really strange if Director Yang didn’t have any influence on this.

So, he deserved the suffering he endured during the ten years.

He always makes big promises but does nothing. In this respect, he is far from Deputy Director Li.

Although Deputy Factory Director Li is not a good guy, he is really generous to his subordinates!
"By the way, Yushui, how is your partner doing? When do you plan to get married?"

According to the current marriage law, men can get married when they are 20 and women can get 18. Yu Shui is already 19 years old, which is the age for marriage.

"How can it be so early? His family seems a little unhappy."

"Not happy? Why?"

He Yushui said dejectedly, "Because I have no father or mother, and I heard from somewhere that my brother is a fool."

"What! You said Zhuzi is a fool? Where did you hear this?" Ye Xin asked speechlessly.

Others didn't know, how could Ye Xin not know! In the past year of contact, everyone in her family knew who He Yuzhu was.

He Yuzhu is not stupid at all, but very smart. He just values ​​friendship and loyalty too much, but in the eyes of some people, he seems to be stupid.

"Sister Yushui, please break up as soon as possible! A person like this is not worthy of entrusting your life to." Li Jiayi said.

"I thought so too, but my brother doesn't seem to care what others think of him."

"Sister Yushui, Brother Zhuzi doesn't care, but you can't not care! I only have one brother, and as for my husband, it can be Zhang San or Li Si."

"You little brat, what are you talking about?" Ye Xin patted Li Jiayi on the head and said.

"Aunt, Jiayi is right." When He Yushui heard what Li Jiayi said, she suddenly seemed to understand.

"Sister Yushui, I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it! If I'm picky about you now, what will happen after you get married?"

"Jia Yi is right." At this moment, the old lady's voice came from the Moon Gate.

"Grandma, are you feeling better?" Ye Xin hurried over to support the deaf old lady and asked.

The old lady caught a cold two days ago and had been lying in the house for two days. Now she can walk around, which means she is well again.

"Thanks to the ginger soup you brought me, I'm fine now." The old lady patted Ye Xin's hand and said.

"It's good that it's okay."

"Grandma, you don't agree either?"

"That's right, I didn't think highly of you from the first time I met you." The old lady looked at He Yushui and said.

"Why? That should have been the first time you met him, right?" He Yushui was a little confused.

"You should never marry a man who says "mother" in every sentence."

"Every sentence has the word 'mom' in it! Isn't this a mama's boy?" said Li Jiayi.

The main reason is that Li Jiayi has never met He Yushui's girlfriend, so he doesn't know her, but He Yushui's words just now made him not optimistic about this person.

Now when I hear the old lady say this, the phrase "mama's boy" comes out of my mouth.

"That's a good point, Jiayi. I think he's just a mama's boy."

"What is a mama's boy?" Ye Xin asked.

Seeing that no one answered her, she looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Son, why don't you explain to Mom?"

"Mom, what do you want me to explain?"

"Mama's boy! Isn't that what you said?"

"Uh! Okay! Actually, a mama's boy listens to his mother in everything. He always says "my mother says", "my mother allows", "my mother doesn't" and so on."

"Isn't this good? What's wrong with a child listening to his mother?" Ye Xin asked.

"Mom, there's nothing wrong with him listening to you when he was little, but he's an adult now and he should have his own ideas."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Ye Xin thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother!"

"Mom, these are two different concepts. Mama's boys are terrible. They lack self-confidence and everything is centered on their mothers, even their wives. If the mother doesn't like it, then he doesn't like it. Anyway, no matter what happens, the mother is right."

"Oh no!"

"Of course, that's the kind of person a mama's boy is." Li Jiayi said and spread his hands.

"There are still men like this! If his mother did something wrong, would it be right in his eyes?"

"Of course it's right. No matter what the fuck he does, it's right anyway."

"Oh, this is too scary, the rain! Stop it quickly! You can't marry someone like this." Ye Xin said hurriedly.

"I understand, Auntie."

"How about this! There are quite a few good guys in our factory. I'll introduce one to you later."

"Mom, you're just worrying about nothing. Sister Yushui is a broadcaster now. I guess there are a lot of people chasing after her in their factory. You don't need to worry about this."

"Uh! That's right!"

He Yushui is not bad looking and now she is a broadcaster. She is beautiful and has a good job, so how could there be no one pursuing her?

"Aunt, let's talk about this later! Tomorrow I'll be clear and cut off all ties."

"Yeah! By the way, you'd better call your brother."

"Why are you calling me brother?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will get angry and attack you?" Ye Xin asked.

"As for him, he wouldn't dare to do it even if I gave him two guts."

He Yushui is not a weak girl, which can be seen from her physique.

Besides, weakness is not in their genes.

If you think this girl is easy to bully, you are wrong. If a real fight breaks out, I guess one or two men would not be her match.

"Mom, your worries are unnecessary. Brother Zhuzi is such a good fighter, how can Sister Yushui be any worse?"

"Uh! Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. Although I haven't seen Sister Yushui's boyfriend, I dare say that Sister Yushui would have no problem beating up both of them."

Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Ye Xin looked at He Yushui and asked, "Yushui, is that so?"

"Li Jiayi..." He Yushui shouted through gritted teeth.

Li Jiayi quickly hid behind Ye Xin and said, "Sister Yushui, I'm just telling the truth."

"Oh! I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy!"

"Aunt, don't listen to Jiayi's nonsense. I'm not that violent." He Yushui said embarrassedly.

"Oh! What's wrong with violence? People who use violence won't be bullied." Ye Xin said while pulling He Yushui.

"Hahaha, that's right." said the old lady happily.

"Hey, why is it so lively?" He Yuzhu also walked over from the Moon Gate.

"Brother Zhuzi, have you cooked?" Li Jiayi asked.

"I just got back and haven't done it yet! What's the matter?"

"Oh! That's perfect. Let's cook it at my house today. I want to eat Sichuan cuisine."

"sure!"

After nearly a year of contact, everyone knows what Li Jiayi is like, so there is no need to be polite.

"Son! It's not enough to just cook Sichuan cuisine." Ye Xin said quickly.

Although she also likes Sichuan cuisine, she really can't eat it.

Ye Xin is a native of this country and cannot eat anything that is too spicy.

"It's okay, call Uncle Liao and Uncle Nan over and do it together."

"This works."

When the Chinese New Year was approaching last year, Li Jiayi had the kitchen remodeled, and now there is no problem for three people to cook together.

The reason for the renovation is because there are too many people cooking at home.

"Then I'll go call Uncle Liao and Uncle Nan."

"Go!"

Li Jiayi ran out and quickly called Liao Kai and Nan Yi over.

Of course, Xu Wenwen and Liao Qingxue also came along. As for Nan Yi, he is still single.

"We're all here today!" Nan Yi said when he came in and saw so many people in the yard.

"What are you talking about? There are still some who haven't come back yet!"

As soon as Liao Kai finished speaking, he heard Li Jiafen shouting from the Moon Gate: "I'm back."

"Girl, you're back. Put your schoolbag down and go wash your hands." Ye Xin said.

"Okay aunt."

"By the way, whose dish will be the main dish today?" Nan Yi asked.

"Let's focus on Zhuzi's Sichuan cuisine! Jiayi likes Sichuan cuisine." Ye Xin said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you really know how to spoil your children." Nan Yi shook his head and said.

"Uncle Nan, if you say that again, do you believe I will let you walk to work tomorrow?"

"Uh!" Nan Yi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "No more, no more, I'm a bad mouth."

"Little guy, I can't deal with you yet." He Yuzhu said to Nan Yi.

"What does it have to do with you? Go away."

He Yuzhu pulled his collar and stood up and said, "I am the head chef today, and you two are the second and third cooks."

"cut!"

"cut!"

Liao Kai and Nan Yi curled their lips in disrespect.

Ye Xin went over to help the deaf old lady and said, "Since we are eating together today, let's go inside first!"

"Okay, okay! Come in."

The old lady likes to eat meat because she has never eaten anything good in her life.

Now that we are old, it is normal to be a little greedy.

It just so happened that the thing that Li Jia's family had the most was meat.

But the happiest ones should be Li Jiayi's family, as three chefs cooked for them at once! Most importantly, it was free.

Although some ingredients were mentioned, it meant nothing to Li Jiayi!

He Yuzhu and the other two had just entered the kitchen to cook when their eldest and second sisters came back from school.

But there is still one person who has not returned, yes, it is the eldest brother Li Chengqian.

Needless to say, he is probably in Courtyard No. 15 right now.

The three of them cooked very quickly and the meal was ready in more than half an hour. Just at this time, the eldest brother came in from outside.

Because there were so many people, two octagonal tables, one large and one small, were placed in the main room.

The eldest brother, eldest sister, second sister, Li Jiafen, Liao Qingxue, Li Jiayi, and He Yushui were all eating at the small table.

This is what is commonly known as a kids table.

The food is the same anyway, so it doesn’t matter where you sit.

"Nan Yi, let me tell you, you should also go to that table." Liao Kai said before they started eating.

"Why?" Nan Yi asked in confusion.

"Because you are not married yet! Look at who is sitting at this table?" Liao Kai said.

"Uh! I..."

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Tsk, aren't you just married? What's there to be proud of?" Nan Yi said with a curled lip.

"You also said that I'm married, and that's what I'm bragging about! If you have the guts, you can marry one too."

"Me! Humph!"

"You boys, do you still want to eat? But Nan Yi, what he said is right. You are not a child anymore. Hurry up and find a wife. Then you can have a few big fat boys to make me happy."

"Old lady, Uncle Nan actually already has someone." Li Jiayi said at this time.

"what?"

"Jiayi, what nonsense are you talking about?" Nan Yi was anxious.

"Uncle Nan, I'm not talking nonsense. Also, Dr. Ding is not suitable for you. Don't look at her young age, but she is too ambitious."

"Son, do you know something?" Ye Xin asked.

"Yeah! Jiayi, tell everyone what you know."

Li Jiayi glanced at Nan Yi and said, "Let's wait until Uncle Nan thinks it through before we talk about this! Now is not the right time yet."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, everyone stopped talking and looked at Nan Yi.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you still going to eat?"

"Eat, eat quickly."

Everyone enjoyed the meal, especially Li Jiayi, because most of the dishes were his favorites.

After dinner, Li Jiayi brought out a watermelon, and then everyone started eating the watermelon.

"Brother, this is for you." Li Jiayi said as he handed over a piece of employment form.

"what is this?"

"The employment form is for my second brother. Take it first. When he graduates, you can give it to him."

"Oh! OK, I understand."

"Son, don't you still have an employment form? Who are you going to give it to?" Ye Xin asked.

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "It seems that no one needs us for the time being."

"Yes."

"Is there anyone closer to the village?" Ye Xin turned around and asked Li Aimin.

Li Aimin spread his hands and said, "I don't know that either! I know about my generation, but I don't know about the next generation."

What Li Aimin said is correct. He has been out for more than ten years. Although he goes back occasionally, he doesn't recognize many of the younger generation.

"Cheng Qian, you should know this!" Ye Xin said.

"Aunt, there are many people my age, and they are also from the same sect, but none of them are in junior high school."

In fact, this is very normal. Not to mention others, even Li Chengqian and Li Chenghou, if Li Jiayi hadn't insisted on letting them finish junior high school, they probably wouldn't have gone to junior high school.

Even many children in the city do not enter junior high school until they are in their teens, let alone those in rural areas.

In rural areas, a teenager is already a laborer at home. Many are not allowed to go to school and have to help with housework. "Mom, forget it! You can't do it without junior high school. This job application is for clerks, and the minimum requirement is junior high school graduation."

"All right!"

In fact, it’s not that Li Jiayi is unwilling to help the villagers, but there are too many people and he simply can’t help them all.

Although young people from the village cannot work as clerks when they come to the city, they can still work as workers.

But who should be allowed to come and who should not be allowed to come? There will definitely be conflicts at that time.

To say we can get them all here is a joke. With so many people, it's simply impossible.

Also, because of their educational background or the number of people, so many people come here just as apprentices.

Not to mention the problem of food and drink, even housing is a big problem.

You know, apprentices cannot get housing, so it would be too troublesome for them to rent a house by themselves.

Housing is so difficult in the capital now, where can I find so many houses?

Three or five people could still solve the problem, but three or five people are too few for the village.

"Son, what are you going to do with this quota?" Ye Xin asked.

"Mom, I plan to give this spot to Shao Jianjun."

"Shao Jianjun? Oh! That kid is the same age as your eldest sister. He's seventeen this year and has just graduated from junior high school."

"Ok!"

"Grandpa and Grandma Shao are in poor health and have been seeing doctors and taking medicine. Although Aunt Cheng has a job, the family conditions are not good. If Shao Jianjun goes back to work, then things will definitely be much better."

"Yes."

"In that case, give it to Shao Jianjun!"

"Hey, has Jiayi always been like this?" He Yuzhu touched Liao Kai and asked.

"Of course. Several families in the hospital that are in particularly difficult situations have been able to hold on over the years because of Jiayi."

"All right!"

Qian Meilian said at this time: "In the past, there were three families in our courtyard who were in particularly difficult circumstances. They were the Shao family in the front courtyard, the Zheng family in the middle courtyard, and the Sun family in the back courtyard. Now, with the help of Jiayi, these three families have all undergone great changes."

"How can he help? He won't find a job for them, will he?"

"Yes! Sun Qingmin from the Sun family, Zheng Changrong from the Zheng family, and now Shao Jianjun from the Shao family, they already have a job quota, and they are all clerks."

"He Yuzhu, don't be ungrateful. Didn't your daughter Meilian also find a job for you at Jiayi?" Liao Kai said.

"Go away, you're still blaming me. Aren't you the same? Even your wife was found for you by Jiayi, otherwise you would still be a bachelor now!" He Yuzhu said with a pout.

"Yeah! I didn't say it wasn't."

"Ugh!" He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment and felt like he had punched cotton.

"He Yuzhu, everyone knows this about me, but you may not know it yet! You were able to marry Meilian because of Jiayi. If it weren't for Jiayi, you probably wouldn't be much better than me."

"What do you mean?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Ask your Meilian."

Then He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at Qian Meilian and asked, "Wife, is that so?"

"Yeah!" Qian Meilin nodded.

"What's going on?" He Yuzhu was a little confused.

"I'm telling you, He Yuzhu, Meilian was able to marry you because Jiayi calculated everything step by step, and then he said a lot of good things for you. Do you think it's all Wang the Matchmaker's work? Your real matchmaker is actually Jiayi."

"Wife, is what this guy said true?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Yes! It's true. From the time Matchmaker Wang came to our house, to..."

Qian Meilin told the whole story from beginning to end, including what Widow Qin and Yi Zhonghai were going to do behind the scenes.

After hearing what Qian Meilian said, He Yuzhu laughed and said, "I didn't expect that my matchmaker is here! I'm so sorry, I didn't know it before."

"Come on, Brother Zhuzi, I don't intend for you to repay me, so what does it matter whether you know it or not."

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said, "But I can't not express my opinion! Otherwise it would be too unreasonable."

"Just cook a few more meals for me."

"Huh! What kind of statement is this? It seems like we are still getting the advantage." He Yuzhu said.

"What do you mean by taking advantage of others? I don't need this little food."

"That's true."

"Okay, you guys chat! I'm going to go to Aunt Cheng's house."

"Okay, go ahead!"

After leaving home, Li Jiayi came to the front yard and then walked to the door of Aunt Cheng's house.

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

"Who?"

"Aunt Cheng, it's me."

The door opened quickly and Cheng Qiaoyun appeared in front of Li Jiayi.

"Come in and add one. Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together."

"Auntie Cheng, please stop busying yourself. I've already eaten. I came here today to talk to Jianjun about something."

"Looking for me?" Shao Jianjun was eating. When he heard Li Jiayi looking for him, he quickly put down his bowl.

"Yes." Li Jia nodded.

"Jiayi, what do you want to talk to me about? Is there anything you need me to do? Just tell me."

"You don't have to do anything. Here, this is for you." Li Jia handed over the employment form.

"what is this?"

"You'll know if you take a look."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Shao Jianjun quickly took a look and asked in surprise: "Is this the employment form for the wool spinning factory?"

"Yes, aren't you going to graduate from junior high school this year? Of course, if you pass the exam, then forget it, you can give this employment form to others. If you don't pass the exam, then go to work in the woolen mill! This is a clerk position."

"Oh! Jiayi, this...thank you so much." Cheng Qiaoyun said quickly.

Cheng Qiaoyun was worried! With Shao Jianjun's grades, it was impossible for him to be admitted to a technical secondary school or high school.

There is no way. It’s not that Shao Jianjun is not a good student, but he wasted too much time during the three difficult years.

It was vacation time at that time, and everyone was studying except the children who didn't like studying.

Shao Jianjun actually liked studying, but he had no time to do it. Every day he either went outside the city to chop wood, or helped with housework at home, such as making matchboxes, which delayed his studies.

She originally thought about retiring and letting Shao Jianjun go to work, but if she did that, she would lose a lot of income every month.

Now, with the job opportunity given by Li Jiayi, everything is solved.

The most important thing is that this is still a clerk position. You have to know that if you are a clerk, you are a formal employee when you enter the factory! You can get 27.5 yuan per month.

Otherwise, you can only work as an apprentice in the factory, with a salary of 18.5 yuan per month. Unless you can pass the exam in advance, it will take three years for an apprentice to become a formal employee.

"Auntie Cheng, you are too polite. It was just a coincidence. I went to the factory to ask for a job for my second cousin, but I didn't expect the factory to give two. Now there is one extra."

Although Li Jiayi said so, neither Cheng Qiaoyun nor the Shao family thought so.

They know how to be grateful. Even if there are extra places, they can be given to others! Why give it to their family?

"Add one! Don't worry, I'll give you the money later."

"Auntie Cheng, there's no rush. Just do the same as Uncle Sun and Auntie Xu's family. Just give it to me over five years, ten dollars a month."

"Ah! This..."

Before Cheng Qiaoyun finished speaking, Li Jiayi interrupted her and said, "Okay, Aunt Cheng, it's settled."

"Add one! This is a clerk position! Isn't six hundred yuan too little? And it's paid over five years."

Yes, Cheng Qiaoyun thought that six hundred yuan was too little. You know, a clerk position, even in a small factory, cannot be obtained without a thousand yuan.

In a large factory like a woolen mill, the salary for a clerk is at least over a thousand yuan, and it is not certain that you can even buy one.

"Auntie Cheng, I'm not a seller of quotas, so the amount doesn't matter. The reason I want this money is that I don't want others to gossip about me."

"Add one! Of course this lady knows, but she always feels that 600 yuan is too little."

Five dollars a month, what difference does it make whether you give it or not? Over the years, Li Jiayi has helped their family with more than five dollars every month.

Especially during the three difficult years, we gave their family food and meat every month with various excuses.

You have to know how much food and meat cost per pound at that time! Even if they only gave us two liters of flour, it was still more than three yuan per pound!
Twenty kilograms every month, so food alone costs sixty or seventy yuan a month, not including meat and eggs. If you count everything, it will definitely be more than one hundred yuan.

And this is just for one month, what about a year! Even if it wasn’t that expensive in the first two years, it’s still a lot!
"Okay, Aunt Cheng, your family will have a better life with this job, and I will have less to worry about."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. All right, you guys continue eating. I'll go back first."

"Ok!"

After Li Jiayi left, Cheng Qiaoyun looked at Shao Jianjun and said, "Remember, you must repay the Li family's kindness no matter what in the future."

"I know mother."

"This Jiayi is really capable! He can come to your factory to ask for a quota!" said Grandpa Shao.

"Others may not be able to do it, but he can," said Cheng Qiaoyun.

"Is it because Li Aimin is a leader in your factory?"

"Dad, this has nothing to do with his dad. This is his own ability."

Few people in the woolen mill didn't know that the meat eaten in the factory was sent by Li Jiayi, but not many people would talk about it outside.

Some people are tight-lipped, like Cheng Qiaoyun, who doesn't even tell her family.

"Jiayi is a promising kid! He will definitely be something great in the future. Jianjun must learn from him in the future."

"Grandpa, I can't learn Jiayi's skills. He is two years younger than me and will graduate from technical secondary school next year."

"You kid, who told you to learn this from him? I told you to learn how to behave and other things from him."

"Oh!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat. Once you get your diploma, fill out the employment form and go to work."

"I know mother."

"By the way, mother, which department should I go to then?"

"How would I know? Just look at the assignment. Go wherever you are assigned. If you can choose, go to the Security Department! Isn't Jiayi's eldest cousin working in the Security Department?"

"understood."

On Sunday morning, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to Pigeon City.

He drove the tricycle to a less crowded place in Pigeon City and opened the box.

Yes, Li Jiayi also came to exchange things today, but he used meat. What he mainly exchanged were national grain coupons, sugar coupons, and non-staple food coupons.

As for the wine ticket, he has never changed it since he started brewing his own wine.

He even said he didn't want the cigarette coupons anymore, as they were useless. The cigarettes in his space were enough for him to smoke even in ten lifetimes.

In this case, why do we need cigarette tickets? Of course, he doesn’t want to give up all of them. If there are special supplies for him, he will still take them.

After all, this thing is relatively rare. Although there are a lot of them in his space, who would complain about having too much of this thing!

If you can’t finish smoking them yourself, you can give them as gifts to others. After all, the rarer something is, the more precious it is.

Before, Li Jiayi had been spending money to buy it, but the efficiency was very low. He might not be able to buy 30 or 20 kilograms of national food coupons after working out for a whole morning.

One time, he had a sudden idea to exchange meat for tickets. Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, he got more than 300 kilograms of national food coupons, as well as more than ten kilograms of sugar coupons and more than ten kilograms of non-staple food coupons.

Li Jiayi, who has tasted the sweetness, comes to exchange tickets every Sunday.

After opening the box, Li Jiayi took out a board from it.

It says what needs to be replaced and the price.

National food coupons: four jin for one jin, sugar coupons: one jin for one jin, and non-staple food coupons: two jin for one and a half jin.

"Do not miss passing through."

"Fresh pork has arrived. You can exchange it with grain coupons, sugar coupons, and non-staple food coupons. Come quickly if you want to exchange it."

"I have ten kilograms of national food coupons. Give me two and a half kilograms."

In fact, someone followed Li Jiayi as soon as he came in, because it was not the first time he changed.

So some people who often come to Pigeon Market almost all know him, and many people even try their best to find national food coupons, sugar coupons, and non-staple food coupons just to exchange them for meat with him.

"Okay, here, your two and a half pounds of meat." Li Jiayi took the food coupon, looked at it, and handed over the pork.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

"I have two kilograms of sugar tickets, exchange them for two kilograms of pork."

"no problem."

"I have 20 kilograms of national food coupons, which I can exchange for 5 kilograms of pork."

"Okay, give me the ticket."

The national food coupons that were previously nowhere to be found are now delivered to your doorstep and everyone is scrambling to get them.

"Young comrade, I don't have a ticket. Can you sell me two pounds of pork?" an old man came over and asked.

Li Jiayi scratched his head. This was very difficult for him! After all, he was here to exchange tickets. If he sold them, what would happen if everyone bought them with money?

"Uncle, I'm just exchanging tickets. How about this, since you are older, I'll ask everyone."

"Good good."

Then Li Jiayi said to the people who gathered around him, "Everyone knows that I am exchanging tickets and not selling pork, but this old man has said it. You decide whether I should sell it to him or not."

"Sell it to him."

"Sell it to him."

"Okay, since you guys said so, I'll make an exception, just this once."

"can."

"Okay, uncle, everyone asked me to sell it to you, so I'll sell it to you two pounds."

"Thank you, little comrade."

"You're welcome." He took the two dollars and handed over the two pounds of meat.

Next, Li Jiayi started exchanging tickets again, but no one asked him to buy meat anymore, which made him feel relieved.

It’s not that no one wants to do it, but no one does it. After all, they are not old people.

After a quick morning, Li Jiayi had reaped a lot, including more than 600 kilograms of national grain coupons, 22 kilograms of sugar coupons, and even 13 kilograms of non-staple food coupons.

It was almost noon, so Li Jiayi put the board into the carriage, covered the box, and drove the tricycle out of Pigeon City.

However, he did not go home because he had something to do in the afternoon, so he just found a small forest and drove the tricycle into it.

He came into the woods, looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he put the tricycle into the space and followed him in.

After arriving at the space, Li Jiayi took a shower first. He had been in Pigeon City for the whole morning and was sweating all over!

I don't know how many times my clothes have been soaked with sweat, and now I feel very uncomfortable.

After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Li Jiayi came to the living room and with a wave of his hand, several dishes were placed on the eight-immortals table.

They were all cold dishes, including braised beef in soy sauce, shredded chicken, shredded pig ears, and finally a spicy cabbage.

Then he took out a large enamel jar of beer.

But this beer was not made in the tavern, but brewed directly by him. This thing is much simpler than white wine.

After putting some ice cubes about one centimeter in size, Li Jiayi picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

There was no staple food, and he didn't need it. It would be enough for him to finish eating these dishes and drinking the beer.

As for the staple food, forget it. Not to mention that he is alone in the space, even at home, he rarely eats staple food now.

After dinner, Li Jiayi went to the toilet and then lay down on the bed.

When he woke up, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. He quickly changed his clothes and came out of the space.

With a wave of his hand, a tricycle appeared beside him. After getting on, it drove towards Beihai Park.

Yes, he made an appointment with someone to come here and play in the afternoon, which is why he didn't go home at noon.

When they arrived near Beihai Park, Li Jiayi found a relatively secluded place to put away the tricycle.

There was no other way, he had to go in! Although a tricycle could be driven in, he couldn't drive a tricycle while playing.

As for putting it outside, that's even worse. What if someone steals it?

He has no other means of transportation right now! And it must be a means of transportation that can carry things.

After putting away the tricycle, Li Jiayi had an extra net bag in his hand.

There were not only apples, peaches and oranges, but also three oil-paper packages.

The oil paper bags contain beef jerky, peanuts and melon seeds.

Although these things are no longer for sale, he still has them in his space! And there are still quite a few of them.

"Li Jiayi, here."

As soon as I entered the park, I heard someone calling me.

When I turned around, I saw Lin Linger, but she didn't seem to come alone.

Because there were two girls of about her age next to her.

"Come here quickly!"

"Oh! Here we come."

"Come on, Li Jiayi, let me introduce you to these two, they are my classmates, this one is Tao Wenwen, and this one is Zhou Liying."

"Hello."

"Hello there!"

"Let's go boating." Lin Ling'er said.

"Oh!"

While the two girls were walking in front, Lin Linger quickly said to Li Jiayi, "I'm sorry! They insisted on following me, and I couldn't refuse."

"It's okay." Li Jiayi said indifferently.

"You won't be angry, will you?"

"No! Why are you angry?"

"I'm glad you're not angry." Lin Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed.
