Chapter 328: Let’s talk about whether it’s awesome or not

"That's right. I don't think it's okay. He doesn't even ask and just starts attacking." said the second sister.

"That's not right! Doesn't Zhuzi have a bicycle? Besides, Zhuzi comes back with Meilian every day. How could something like this happen with Meilian around?"

"Sister Meilian was not feeling well that day and came back early, so Brother Zhuzi came back on foot."

He Yuzhu's family only has one bicycle, and He Yuzhu rides it to and from get off work every day, taking Qian Meilin with him.

As for He Yushui, when he worked in a textile factory, because the distance was far, he always rode the factory's bicycles to go home.

But now she no longer works in the textile factory, so of course she has to return the bicycle.

"What happened next? Didn't Brother Zhuzi deal with the police?" Li Jiayi asked.

He didn't believe that He Yuzhu would just let it go. You know, He Yuzhu is a firecracker! He explodes as soon as he is ignited.

"Of course not. If there weren't two police officers holding him back, it would be strange if Brother Zhuzi didn't beat him to a pulp."

"Then let this matter go?"

"How is that possible? That police officer has been suspended. Even if he returns to the police station, he will probably be demoted."

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "How can a local police officer be demoted?"

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi touched his chin and said, "I think Brother Zhuzi did the right thing. You should never marry someone like that. Big sister, please persuade Sister Yushui later."

"Okay, I got it. I'll tell you when we chat later."

"Yes! But be tactful and don't let Sister Yushui have a rebellious mentality." Li Jia nodded and said.

"Yes, that's true." The eldest sister agreed.

After about half an hour, Mom and Dad prepared the meal, and my eldest sister and brother hurried over to help serve the dishes.

The eldest brother went to get a few more glasses of white wine, but Li Jiayi still drank beer.

The meal was quite enjoyable, with three kinds of meat dishes: pork, beef and chicken.

We could have had fish, but Li Jiayi doesn’t like fish, so now no one in the family eats fish much.

Only during the Chinese New Year, we have to cook a fish, but basically no one is willing to eat it.

You know, it's not just Li Jiayi's family! During the Chinese New Year, Liao Kai's family also celebrated together!
For example, now, when Liao Kai came to him to get nutritional supplements for Xu Wenwen, he mentioned all kinds of meat and vegetables, but not fish.

I don’t know if this can be considered as being led astray by Li Jiayi.

After eating and drinking, the eldest sister made tea and the family sat in the living room to drink tea.

After thinking for a while, Li Jiayi stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to go out for a while."

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

Coming out of the house, Li Jiayi took out two packs of peach cakes and two packs of glutinous rice sticks from the space.

He Yuzhu likes to drink and eat peanuts, so Li Jiayi took out a bag of spiced peanuts.

Carrying these things, Li Jiayi came to the East Courtyard, where He Yuzhu's family had just finished their meal.

"Jiayi is here, please sit down." Qian Meilin saw Li Jiayi first and quickly stood up and said.

"Okay, Sister Meilian."

"Just come if you want to, kid. And bring something with you." He Yuzhu said as he stood up.

Just as he finished speaking, the old lady hit him with her cane and said, "You idiot, people are being polite, do you think everyone is like you?"

"Grandma, it's okay. This was not prepared for him. It is prepared for you, Sister Meilian and Sister Yushui." Li Jiayi said as he put the things on the eight-immortals table.

"Xiao Jiayi is very thoughtful." said the deaf old lady.

"Jiayi, why are you staring at me?" He Yushui asked casually when she saw Li Jiayi staring at her after putting down his things.

"Sister Yushui, I heard that you have a new boyfriend. Is that true?"

"Bullshit boyfriend." Before He Yushui could say anything, He Yuzhu said it.

"Oh! So this is true?" Li Jiayi asked He Yuzhu.

"We did talk about it, but if I don't agree, then it's not a relationship," He Yuzhu continued.

"Sister Yushui, to be honest, this kind of person is really not good. I heard from my eldest sister that he has been suspended from his post. Even if he returns to the police station, he will be like that for the rest of his life."

"Really?" He Yuzhu asked with his eyes lighting up.

"Yes! This matter is so serious that it must be dealt with!"

"That's great. Just suspending him from his job would be too easy for him. What kind of person is he! He takes action without knowing anything." He Yuzhu said with a sneer.

"Hahaha, this is the first time I heard that Brother Zhuzi was beaten up." Li Jiayi said with a smile.

"Are you here to laugh at me?" He Yuzhu asked speechlessly.

There was nothing he could do, because he himself felt ashamed that he, the god of war, was beaten by someone.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm not here to laugh at you. I'm just here to see Sister Yushui."

"Why are you looking at her? She's a worry to me all day long." He Yuzhu said with a pout.

"Brother Zhuzi, you can't blame Sister Yushui for this! She didn't know the other person was that kind of person."

"Humph!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu stopped talking, Li Jiayi turned his head and looked at He Yushui and asked, "Sister Yushui, what do you think?"

"Plus one, the old lady has already told me that I will have nothing to do with him anymore."

Hearing what He Yushui said, Li Jiayi glanced at the old lady and thought that it was true that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure.

Having such a sensible old man around can help young people avoid many detours.

Li Jiayi looked at the deaf old lady and said, "Old ladies can see people more clearly."

"No, I'm just older and more people see me."

The deaf old lady is no longer deaf now, because she is not in the Qinman Courtyard, so she can hear and see clearly now.

"Hahaha, old lady, you are too modest. With you here, Brother Zhuzi can avoid a lot of trouble."

The old lady smiled and nodded, admitting it, which was indeed the case.

Although He Yuzhu used to listen to the old lady very much, there were villains causing trouble, so he didn't listen to everything.

Now, there are four of them living in this small courtyard, so he listens to the old lady's words 100%.

"Xiao Jiayi! Go back and talk to your mom and ask her to introduce someone to Yu Shui. Anyone else's recommendation is unreliable."

"Old lady, do you think I am reliable?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Needless to say, you are of course reliable." The old lady nodded.

"Then what do you think? If I introduce someone to Sister Yushui, will that be okay?"

"That's great! That's great." said the old lady happily.

"Jiayi, do you want to introduce someone to your sister Yushui? Who?" He Yuzhu asked hurriedly.

"my classmate."

"What the hell? Your classmate, I said plus one, that's a bit unreliable. How old is your classmate?" He Yuzhu shook his head and said.

"Zhu Zi, shut up." The old lady poked the ground with her cane and said.

"Uh! Old lady, what are you doing..."

"You droopy boy, have you forgotten where Jiayi went to school?" The old lady glared at He Yuzhu.

Li Jiayi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuzi, my classmates are at least two or three years older than me, and there are even many who are four or five years older than me."

"Uh!"

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment before he remembered.

Li Jiayi is a genius! He started school at the age of six and never failed a grade. Not only that, he even skipped a grade. Now he is fifteen and will soon be in his last year of technical secondary school.

He started school at the age of six, while others basically started school at the age of eight, and he skipped a grade. That is to say, even if others did not repeat a grade, they would still be two or three years older than him. If they repeated a grade one or two more times, they would be four or five years older than him.

Li Jiayi is fifteen this year, and some of his classmates are even over twenty years old, older than He Yushui.

"Sister Yushui, how about it? Do you need me to introduce you to someone? He will graduate next year and will be a cadre whether he works in a factory or an office."

"I need it! Add one! Hurry up and introduce one to your sister Yushui." He Yuzhu shouted anxiously before He Yushui could speak.

"Brother Zhuzi, this requires Sister Yushui's consent."

"Okay! Then introduce one to me!" He Yushui said.

She also figured it out. Those she found herself were not reliable. It was better to be introduced by acquaintances, because at least they knew the person well.

"Okay, since you agree, Sister Yushui, and we start school the day after tomorrow, I'll introduce one to you then."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi doesn't know what's going on. He is now particularly keen on matchmaking for others. He doesn't know if this means he has the potential to be a matchmaker.

The matter was said and done, and the ensuing chat was very pleasant. It was a pity that He Yushui had let go of the worry, and she also felt much happier.

It was not until after eight o'clock that Li Jiayi returned home, and then he went upstairs to rest.

After breakfast the next morning, Li Jiayi drove out on his tricycle. Today was the last day of the holiday and school would start tomorrow.

Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the department store, parked and locked the tricycle, then walked inside.

He didn't stay on the first and second floors because everything sold on the first and second floors required tickets.

He went straight to the third floor, and just like before, he was stopped as soon as he stepped out of the stairs.

He was well prepared and just took out a US dollar, and the staff let him in.

After coming in, Li Jiayi did not go to look at home appliances or anything like that, because he had already bought everything he needed.

Those that I didn't buy were those whose voltage couldn't be supported by them, such as box air conditioners and refrigerators.

"Hello! Where is the milk powder?" Li Jiayi asked a salesperson.

"Go forward and turn right and you will see it."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

The salesperson is very polite to the customers who come here, but then again, the customers who come here are either foreigners or people who can get US dollars.

Not to mention foreigners, how many ordinary people can get US dollars in the country?

So they are just treating people differently based on their situation, which is unimaginable on the first and second floors.

The notice on the counter prohibiting customers from being beaten without reason is also serious. It means that they can beat them as long as it is not without reason. However, it is up to them to decide whether it is without reason or not.

Following the salesperson's instructions, Li Jiayi soon saw the milk powder. Seeing the milk powder, Li Jiayi was surprised.

I didn’t expect there are so many milk powders here, and there are so many brands, but these brands are all foreign.

Ordinary people can’t even buy a bag of ordinary milk powder, but there are so many imported milk powders here.

The most important thing is that many of these milk powders are the same as those in his space, all packed in iron boxes.

Yes, the milk powder here is sold in cans instead of bags, and most importantly, the price is not cheap.

In fact, in this era, domestic Red Star milk powder is not expensive, only eight or fifty yuan a bag.

The weight is 400 grams, but there is one thing: you must have a ticket to buy Red Star milk powder. Without a ticket, we will not sell it to you no matter how much money you pay.

This is still the case even though it is the time to recover funds, as milk powder is not on the list of products sold at a premium.

The main reason is that there is less milk powder in this era, and there are only a few types of domestic milk powder.

Currently, there are only two types of brands on the market: Hongxing and Wandashan. Feihe was just established last year and is not yet available in the capital.

However, the most popular brand sold in the capital is Red Star, and few people buy Wandashan, mainly because Wandashan is much more expensive.

This resulted in a very strange phenomenon: the cheap ones were all gone, but the high-priced ones survived.

The more conscientious a company is, the harder it is to survive. Companies that can survive for a long time are not conscientious companies.

I wonder if this has a lot in common with the saying that good people don’t live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years.

Although Red Star milk powder still exists in later generations, it is rarely seen in supermarkets or milk powder stores.

Anyway, Li Jiayi has never been seen in supermarkets or milk powder stores in later generations, and can only be found by searching on the Internet.

Looking at the cans of milk powder on the shelves and the prices on them, Li Jiayi was speechless.

Any can of milk powder costs dozens or even hundreds of US dollars. No wonder it is not sold to ordinary people.

This stuff is simply unaffordable! An eighth-level worker can't even buy a can of milk powder with a month's salary.

Who among the common people can afford such a price?

After looking around, Li Jiayi went out without buying anything.

I got back on the tricycle, thought about it, and then drove the tricycle to the Pigeon Market outside Jianguomen.

He is not exchanging tickets today. School starts tomorrow and he plans to sell pork.

Of course, he didn't sell pork to make money, he just wanted to improve other people's meals.

You know, he is not short of money now! There are more than 6 billion US dollars in the space.

Although the amount of RMB is not much, it is still several million.

As for antiques, he himself doesn't even know how many he has.

There were more than 223,700 large yellow croakers and more than 1,376,000 small yellow croakers.

Of course, it looks like a lot, but actually in terms of weight, there is not much, only about 100,000 kilograms.

If calculated by tons, it would be only about one hundred tons. If calculated by the price of gold, even at its most expensive time in later generations, it would only be worth a few hundred billion.

This thing still can't be compared with antiques, because you don't need too many antiques worth tens of billions.

Soon Li Jiayi arrived at the Pigeon Market outside Jianguomen and found a place to park the tricycle.

Li Jiayi opened the lid on the carriage and took out a board.

Of course the prices are written on the board. He not only sells pork, but also chickens and ducks.

A chicken is 1.5 yuan, and a duck is 2 yuan, sold exactly according to market price.

As soon as Li Jiayi took out the board, the tricycle was surrounded by people.

If Asheng and the others hadn't been there, they would probably have surrounded the tricycle.

Because of the intimidation of Ah Sheng and the others, even though people gathered around, there was still an open space in front of the tricycle.

"Everyone line up. We won't be exchanging national food coupons today. We'll only sell them for money. I won't start unless you line up!"

"Yes, yes, everyone, get in line."

"Get in line."

Soon the line was formed and Li Jia started selling.

"I want five pounds."

"okay!"

"I want ten pounds and two chickens."

"No problem, thirteen in total."

It is still easier to sell for money. If you want to exchange for tickets, few people want five kilograms because people don’t have that many tickets.

But the situation is different when selling them. Not to mention five kilograms, there are many that weigh more than ten kilograms.

"Comrade, give me ten pounds too."

"Okay, ten pounds for ten dollars."

"Comrade, I'm from the light bulb factory. Can you sell me 100 kilograms?" asked a middle-aged man.

"Of course, I can, but can you lift 100 kilograms?"

"No problem. I have a bicycle and can use it to carry the load."

"Okay, I'll give you 100 kilograms."

Since they were carrying it on a bicycle, they certainly couldn't give him a small piece, so Li Jiayi directly took out a whole piece from the space, exactly one hundred kilograms, no more, no less.

"for you."

"I'll give you the money first, and then you put it on my shoulders."

"Row."

Li Jiayi took the money and counted it. It was exactly one hundred yuan, so he put the meat on the middle-aged man's shoulder.

Although it was very strenuous, the middle-aged man still carried it along.

Needless to say, this middle-aged man should be from the purchasing department or purchasing section of the light bulb factory.

This depends on the level of the light bulb factory. If it is a low level, there will only be a purchasing department, and if it is a high level, there will be a purchasing department.

For example, a woolen mill has a purchasing department, which has three sections under it, and he is the person in the purchasing section three.

"I want five pounds and a chicken."

"Okay, that's six dollars and a half."

"I want ten pounds."

The buyers are very aggressive! The lowest price is five catties, or ten catties.

It’s still easier to sell for money, and there’s rarely any change.

Soon the morning passed and the long line of people buying meat disappeared. After giving the meat to the last person, Li Jiayi took the money and left.

There was no way. The sales in the morning were so crazy that I didn’t even count the quantity. Anyway, I sold a lot this morning.

Fortunately, everyone left after buying the meat, and there were people surrounding him who were buying meat, so others didn’t know how much he sold.

After leaving the Pigeon Market outside Jianguomen, Li Jiayi did not go home. Anyway, there were meat and vegetables at home, so he didn't need to send anything home.

The main reason is that he doesn’t want to eat the food cooked by his second sister anymore, so Li Jiayi now prepares the meat and vegetables in the morning.

Since he wasn't going back, he had to find a place to eat something. After thinking about it, Li Jiayi thought of the machine repair factory.

He was not at home during this period of time, and even after he came back, he did not go out. Except for a gathering when he just came back, he hadn't seen Nan Yi for a few days.

Li Jiayi drove his tricycle straight to the machine repair factory and arrived there very quickly. When he arrived, it was just time for lunch at the machine repair factory.

He parked the tricycle in front of the canteen entrance without even locking the chain, and went straight into the canteen.

Then I saw Nan Yi serving meals to the workers in the machine repair factory. He didn't shout, but just stood by and watched.

"Nan Yi, two dishes, four steamed buns, and three wowotou."

Hearing this, Li Jiayi looked over quickly. This was a young woman who looked less than 30 years old. Her face was not big, but very delicate. She was definitely pretty, of course, for someone of this age.

"Eating steamed buns again?" Nan Yi asked without even raising his head.

“The wo wo tou is pretty good.”

Looking at Nan Yi again, he took the lunch boxes, clanged two large spoons, and filled the two lunch boxes.

Then he handed over four steamed buns and three wowotou.

You can order more vegetables, but not steamed buns. There are only a limited number of them, and there are so many people watching.

"Master Nan, when can I have so many dishes in one serving?" an employee queuing behind asked jokingly.

"You! You should reincarnate as a woman first, then maybe that will be enough." A co-worker joked.

"Go away."

"Hey, do you still want to eat?" Nan Yi asked.

"Eat, eat, eat. Of course you have to eat. If you don't eat, you won't have the energy to work!"

When others serve food, they don’t get so much, but it’s not less either, because Nan Yi doesn’t shake the spoon when serving food.

Although it cannot be compared with the previous two dishes, it is definitely what every employee deserves, which is why no one said anything.

Anyway, I have given enough, so it doesn’t seem to matter to me whether you give more or less to others.

Li Jiayi saw that the young woman did not eat in the cafeteria, but left the cafeteria with her lunch box and steamed buns.

If I'm not mistaken, this woman should be Liang Ladi, Nan Yi's future wife.

Li Jiayi was not optimistic about He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, so he tried to change the ending.

But he was optimistic about Nan Yi and Liang Ladi! After all, Liang Ladi gave birth to a child for Nan Yi.

Besides, Liang Ladi also educated her children very well.

This is enough, which shows that Liang Ladi is not sucking Nan Yi's blood, nor is she making Nan Yi a scapegoat.

Soon the meal was served, and Nan Yi looked up at the cafeteria, then saw Li Jiayi.

"Hey, Jiayi, when did you come?" Nan Yi asked.

"I've been here a long time ago, planning to have a meal at your factory, but it looks like I won't be able to." Li Jiayi said, looking at the empty vegetable bowl.

"Hey, no one else is here, so why should you be here? Come in first, I'll go to the warehouse to get some meat and vegetables, and then fry two for you."

Are you kidding me? Who is Li Jiayi? He just came to the factory to have a meal! I guess the factory director would treat him if he knew about it.

So when he said he was going to the warehouse to get some meat and vegetables, he was not just saying it, he really went to get them.

"Okay." Li Jiayi was not polite. He didn't need to be polite because he came here to eat.

When I arrived at the kitchen, several canteen staff were eating, including Nan Yi’s two apprentices.

"Hey, Li Jiayi, why are you here?"

"I'm here to eat for free!"

"No way! You come here to eat for free?" one of Nan Yi's apprentices asked in disbelief.

Others may not know what Li Jiayi’s situation is, but how could he not know!
Have you eaten too much delicious food, so you come to the factory to try some simple meals?
But soon he stopped thinking so, because he saw Nan Yi coming in with a chicken and a piece of meat.

This is not just eating too much delicious food! This is to taste his master's cooking.

People are so irritating!
"Plus one, maybe it will have to wait until later, you sit down and take a rest first."

"I'm fine. I'm not tired from walking around all day long."

"Yes! I'll do it for you right away. It will be ready in a moment."

Nan Yi didn’t cook much, just a chicken, two meat dishes, and a vegetarian dish, and he didn’t even make soup.

But this is enough. After all, there are only two people eating. If you make too much, it will exceed the standard. He is following the standard completely.

After arriving at the private room, as soon as the two of them sat down, Nan Yi asked, "Why did you want to come to my place?"

Nan Yi knew very well that the dishes he cooked were not Li Jiayi’s favorite, so he asked.

"I have nowhere to go! So I can only come to your place."

Hearing Li Jiayi's words, Nan Yi said speechlessly: "You make me really sad."

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "No way, just tell the truth."

Nan Yi also knew that Li Jiayi was not interested in the Second Steel Rolling Mill. Even if He Yuzhu worked there, he would not supply meat to the Second Steel Rolling Mill.

As for the woolen mill, it was probably because Li Jiayi ate too much that he came to him.

But that's fine! When Li Jiayi comes, he can also improve the food, after all, it is in accordance with the reception standard.

Yes, every time Li Jiayi came here to eat, he followed the reception standards, including when he went to the warehouse to get the ingredients, he did so according to the reception standards.

"The one who ordered two dishes, four steamed buns and three wowotou before was Liang Ladi, right?"

Li Jiayi had never met Liang Ladi, mainly because he rarely came to the machine repair factory.

Of course, this does not apply to the situation where someone comes to deliver something. As for delivering something, it is always during working hours, and they leave as soon as they arrive.

"how do you know?"

"Those two dishes took up two lunch boxes, but other people can fit two dishes into one lunch box."

"Uh!" Nan Yi blushed.

"Okay, Uncle Nan, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, but shouldn't you work harder?"

"How can I help more? I can only help a little when serving food, I can't help with anything else even if I want to!"

"Uncle Nan, you can't say that. You have to take the initiative, and it's best to start with the child."

Nan Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I tried, but it didn't work. Her children are different from other children."

"That's because you haven't found the right method. You can start with the food."

Although Liang Ladi's salary was not low, her family's ration was not much, after all, the ration for the children was too little.

Children don’t eat less than adults, which is why Liang Ladi scoured for food everywhere.

"In terms of food?"

"Yes! When you have nothing to do, send some food to her family. Don't send too much at one time, send it several times."

Nan Yi shook his head and said, "But even if I send all my rations over there, it won't be enough for her family to eat!"

"Uncle Nan, are you stupid? Why didn't you come to me when you had no food?"

Nan Yiteng stood up and said, "Yes! How could I forget about you."

After that, Nan Yi patted his head and said, "Jia Yi, find a way to get me some food."

"Sure, how about 100 kilograms of flour and 100 kilograms of cornmeal?"

"Uh!" Nan Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Can you make so many?"

"Uncle Nan, are you stupid? You must have eaten a lot at my house! Have you ever seen my family eat coarse grains?"

Nan Yi shook his head and said, "It seems not."

"That's right. We don't have any coarse grains at home."

Now only Liao Kai asked Li Jiayi to help get meat and food, while Nan Yi and He Yuzhu only asked Li Jiayi to get meat and eggs.

The main reason is that the two of them don’t know whether Li Jiayi can get food.

Yes, if no one tells you about this, no one else will know about it.

"Plus one, actually Liang Ladi and I have not made any progress, mainly because someone is sabotaging us."

"Someone is sabotaging? Is it Cui Dake?" Li Jia thought of this person instantly.

"That's right. That guy has been transferred to the warehouse to work as a porter. There is no way to deal with him anymore, so he is fearless now."

Yes, we are all porters. As long as we don’t make mistakes at work, we can have nothing to fear.

"Oh, is it?"

"Yeah!" Nan Yi nodded.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him for now. Let's eat. I have something to do after dinner."

"Okay, let's eat."

After dinner, Li Jiayi left the machine repair factory and went to the pigeon market outside Deshengmen.

I sold meat here for the whole afternoon and didn't go home until after five o'clock.

When they were almost at the doorstep, there were some more things in the carriage, including the meat and eggs that He Yuzhu wanted, and the milk powder that Liao Kai wanted.

Of course, the white flour and cornmeal prepared for Nan Yi were also placed in it, but he would have to wait until dark before giving it to him.

Two hundred kilograms of food! The amount is a bit too much, and it would be bad if others saw it.

When he got home, everyone in the family had already returned. As soon as Li Jiayi parked the tricycle, his second sister ran over.

"Brother, did you bring anything delicious?"

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Second sister, why do you ask for delicious food every day? Have you finished the food you were given?"

"No!"

"You want more without it?"

"That's right, who complains about delicious food?"

Hearing what his second sister said, Li Jiayi was speechless, because she was right! Who would complain about having too much delicious food?

"Look at Jialin, this foodie. Who would dare to marry her in the future?" Ye Xin shook her head and said to Li Aimin.

"My daughter is so beautiful, but I'm afraid no one would want her. Even if someone wants her, she still has to pass my test!"

"Come on! With her current condition, are you sure anyone would dare to want her?" Ye Xin asked with a pout.

"Uh! This..." Li Aimin also lost confidence.

How could he not know what his own daughter is like? Even if he knew, he would not have confidence.

Li Jiayi took out a net bag from the carriage and handed it over, saying, "Give this to Brother Zhuzi."

"You didn't bring any delicious food, and you still asked me to help you with the work." Although she said that, she still took it and walked towards the east courtyard.

"Son, what are you doing..." Li Aimin asked Li Jialin who was going to the East Courtyard.

"Oh! Brother Zhuzi asked me to help buy that."

"That's it!"

At this time, the eldest brother came over, took out a handful of money from his pocket, handed it over and said, "Add one, this money is for you."

"Brother, why are you giving me money?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.

“Money for shopping!”

"Hey, no, it's not a big deal, you should just take it back!"

Although my brother has been working for more than two years, he doesn't earn much money.

Although he didn't have to spend money on food and could even sell his rations, how much money could he make in a little over two years?

Don't forget that he also gave a portion to his family. Let's put it this way, even if his salary has increased now, he only has three or four hundred yuan in total.

What can you do with this little money? There will be more places to spend money after you get married.

"Jia Yi, this won't do. How can I, as your brother, spend your money?"

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother, it's good enough. You haven't spent enough of my money!"

"Uh! I..."

Li Chengqian then remembered that all the food and things he had used in the past two years were paid for by Li Jiayi.

"Okay Cheng Qian, put the money away. You don't have much money on you, and you will have a lot of places to spend money after you get married. Your brother has money, so it's okay to spend some of his money." Ye Xin said with a smile.

"Auntie, I..."

Before Li Chengqian could finish his words, Ye Xin interrupted him and said, "Okay, no need to say more, it's settled."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" Liao Kai came in from the Moon Gate and asked casually.

"Uncle Liao, why are you here?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Uh! I..."

"Just kidding, I've got the things back for you, but I only got two cans." Li Jiayi said as he took out two cans of milk powder from the car.

"This...is this imported?" Liao Kai looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and asked.

"Well! Domestic milk powder requires tickets, and I don't have any at the moment, so I went to a foreign-related store and got two cans."

"This...this costs a lot of money, right?"

If you really buy it in a foreign-related store, it will cost you a lot of money! And you have to pay with US dollars.

"It's not much, okay, take it back and give it to Auntie to drink!"

"Well! Jiayi, just wait. Uncle Liao will definitely bring you something good this Sunday."

"Uncle Liao, no need, I..."

Before Li Jiayi finished speaking, Liao Kai interrupted him and said, "Jiayi, you don't have to say anything, just listen to Uncle Liao!"

After saying that, he turned and left without even giving Li Jiayi a chance to speak.

Li Jiayi glanced at his parents, then shrugged helplessly.

"Son, this milk powder is not cheap, right?" Ye Xin asked.

"Well! It's not cheap. It costs about 100 US dollars in foreign-related stores."

Li Jiayi only said that it was sold for so much money in a foreign-related store, but he did not say that he bought it in the foreign-related store.

"Ah! So expensive?" Ye Xin asked in surprise.

"Yes! But no matter how expensive it is, it is not as good as fresh goat milk, so you should continue to drink fresh goat milk!"

Li Jiayi was right. Milk powder is easy to preserve, but it can never be compared with pure goat milk.

"You kid, I didn't say I wanted to drink milk powder, I just thought it was too expensive."

"Mom, this is normal. You know, this is shipped from abroad! The shipping cost may be higher than the value of the milk powder itself."

"That's right. The shipping cost must be expensive."

This is not just the shipping cost! There are also customs duties and so on. It would be strange if the price is not high.

After dinner, it was already past seven o'clock. Li Jiayi drank a cup of tea, stood up and said, "Mom! I'm going out for a while."

"Well! Go ahead! Come back soon."

"understood."

Knowing that Li Jiayi always went out to do serious work, Ye Xin never stopped him.

This was the case when Li Jia was in his teens, let alone now that he has grown up.

Yes, Li Jiayi has grown a lot in the past two years! Although he is only fifteen years old, he is already 1.68 meters tall.

Although he is not even 1.7 meters tall, he is only fifteen years old!

Besides, in this era, 1.68 meters is not short, it is already above the average height of an adult.

In this era, the average height of adult men is 1.65 meters, and the average height of adult women is 1.51 meters.

Li Jiayi, who is 1.68 meters tall, is 3 centimeters taller than the average adult male.

And he believed that by the time he was eighteen years old, his height would definitely exceed the 1.75 meters he had in his previous life.

In later generations, 1.75 meters may not be a big deal, after all, the average height of adult men in later generations is 1.7 meters.

But in this era, a height of 1.75 meters is definitely considered relatively tall.

For example, He Yuzhu is only 1.7 meters tall, Nan Yi is only 1.7 meters tall, and Liao Kai is even shorter, the same height as Li Jiayi, 1.68 meters.

To be honest, there are not many people like Li Aimin who are 1.75 meters tall in the entire woolen mill.

After leaving home, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to Xizhimen.

There are many pubs throughout the imperial capital, including one in Xizhimen, and Li Jiayi is going to come here.

After lunch today, he asked the people at the machine repair shop and found out that Cui Dake liked to go to the pub for a few drinks when he had nothing to do in the evening.

In the past, he might not have gone to the pub to drink when he was in the cafeteria. After all, he could just take some food home after get off work and drink.

But now he was transferred to work as a porter, so it was normal for him to go to the tavern and have a drink after a tiring day.

Arriving at the tavern, Li Jiayi drove the tricycle into an alley and then put the tricycle into the space.

After coming out of the alley, Li Jiayi went into the tavern.

Cui Dake knew Li Jiayi, and this guy also knew Li Jiayi.

So when he walked in and took a look, Li Jiayi saw Cui Dake sitting at a table drinking.

Li Jiayi walked to the counter, took out a dollar and put it down, saying, "One beer, and the rest you can order."

"Ok."

Soon the waiter poured Li Jiayi a beer and then gave him four side dishes.

But none of these four dishes has meat, no wonder there are four of them. To be honest, it’s a bit not worth it.

But Li Jiayi didn't care. He brought four side dishes to a table in two batches, and then came over to bring the beer.

We sat down and started eating and drinking. Although there were no meat dishes, the four side dishes tasted good.

Maybe what is sold here is just the same flavor.

Time passed minute by minute, and just when Li Jiayi finished his third beer, he saw Cui Dake stand up.

He knew that Cui Dake was about to leave.

The money for the next two beers had already been paid, so less than a minute after Cui Dake went out, Li Jiayi followed him out.

When I came out of the tavern, I saw Cui Dake walking towards the machine repair shop.

There is a residential area next to the machine repair factory. Nan Yi used to live there. As for Cui Dake, who came from the countryside, he also lived there.

Li Jiayi did not follow from behind, but turned and entered an alley.

As soon as he entered the alley, Li Jiayi started running. When he came out from the other end, he kept running west.

Cui Dake had drunk a lot and couldn't walk fast, so Li Jiayi walked through several alleys and then turned back through an alley.
