Chapter 333 Li Jiayi is good at coaxing people, Nan Yi gets married
Anyway, there is no one at home now, so it doesn't matter how I take it. This is what I promised my eldest and second sisters this morning.

First he took out a bunch of random snacks, and then he took out a few boxes of chocolates.

After thinking about it, Li Jiayi took out some fruits and of course, meat and ribs.

The ribs that Li Jiayi took out were different from those in the butcher shop.

Those ribs sold in butcher shops can no longer be called ribs. To be precise, they should be called bones because the meat on them has been removed cleanly.

What Li Jiayi took out were exactly the same as those in later generations, and they were all carefully arranged.

After taking out all the things, Li Jiayi went over to light the fireplace.

Because it was burning firewood, the temperature rose quickly and the room became warm in just a few minutes.

"Brother Jiayi, you're back?" Li Jiafen came in from outside carrying her schoolbag.

"Yes! By the way, look at the things on the table and take whatever you like."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Jiayi."

"You're welcome." Li Jiayi rubbed her head and said.

"Brother Jiayi, why did you bring back so many delicious foods this time?"

In the past, he would take things down from the tricycle and put them in a net bag, but of course he couldn’t hold much!

This time was different. This time there was no one at home, so he just took things directly from the space, and he could take as much as he wanted.

If the octagonal table wasn't too small to hold so much, he would probably have taken even more.

But these are enough. If only my second sister and cousin eat them, it will be more than enough for ten days or half a month.

Of course, not all of this was for the two of them, everyone had to give some to their colleagues.

"You know that my second sister is a foodie. This amount won't be enough for her to eat for long."

“Hahaha!” Li Jiafen laughed and said, “Brother Jiayi, only you dare to say that to my second sister. My eldest sister doesn’t even dare to say that.”

Li Jiayi curled her lips and said, "Eldest sister is just giving in to her and not arguing with her."

My eldest sister has a very good physical condition. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water over the years, her body is much stronger than that of an adult man.

To be honest, what Li Jiayi most hopes is that his elder sister will go to the army.

But everyone finally chose to go to the district bureau, and Li Jiayi also respected his eldest sister's choice.

This is good. No matter how healthy you are, you will still have to endure hardships in the army. In this case, it would be better to go to the district bureau.

Moreover, with my elder sister's skills, there will be no danger in the district bureau.

You should know that spiritual spring water can transform the human body in all aspects, not only the physique, but also the five senses and so on.

Soon the elder sister came back, took off her police uniform after entering the house, and said, "Little brother, you came back early today!"

She could feel how warm the room was; the fireplace must have been lit long ago.

"I just came back not long ago."

"That's it!"

Then he saw the snacks on the Eight Immortals Table and asked, "Are these the snacks you brought back?"

"Well! Big sister, you take some first! Otherwise, when the second sister comes back, she will take everything away."

Thinking of what her sister looked like, Li Jiaqi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take some and put them in my bag first."

My eldest sister also carries a military backpack when going to and from get off work, which is mainly used to carry things, such as lunch boxes.

Of course, this is only when she is commuting to and from get off work. She won't carry a bag during work hours.

The eldest sister took the schoolbag, put some of the things into it, and hung it on the clothes hanger.

He turned around and looked at the pile of snacks on the eight-immortal table and said, "Little brother, you just spoil your second sister too much."

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do! If I don't spoil my own sister, how can I let others spoil her?"

Hearing him say this, Li Jiaqi shook his head helplessly.

In fact, she knew very well that her younger brother not only spoiled her younger sister, but also spoiled her, the eldest sister.

"Brother Jiayi, will you spoil me or not?" Li Jiafen suddenly asked.

Li Jiayi rubbed her head and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Jiafen nodded heavily and said, "He must be spoiled."

"You know, but you still ask."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" Ye Xin came in from outside and asked casually.

"Nothing? Mom, are you back?"

"Ok!"

Not only did mom come back, but dad, and my older brothers also came in from outside.

Today, the eldest and second brothers did not go back to Yard No. 15 first, but came back here directly.

Yes, now that it's cold, of course they would rather come here! There's a fireplace here!
Back at Yard No. 15, I would feel cold if I didn't get into bed. It's not as comfortable as here.

"So many snacks?" The second brother said in surprise, looking at the eight-immortal table.

In fact, my second brother is the same age as my eldest sister and is only seventeen years old this year. In later generations, he would still be a child in the eyes of his parents.

A seventeen-year-old child is, of course, an age when he is greedy.

"Brother, if you want to eat, pack some up first, otherwise there won't be any for you when Sister comes back."

"It's okay, I'll just eat a little, and leave these to Jialin and Jiafen!"

Children of this generation are very sensible. Even though Li Chenghou is only seventeen years old, in his opinion, he is an adult since he is already working.

How can adults snatch food from children?

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "You decide for yourself!"

"By the way, Jiayi, I heard that your salary got another raise?" the second brother suddenly asked.

"Hey, how did you know?" Li Jiayi looked at Li Cheng in surprise.

Li Chenghou scratched his head and said, "Jiayi, have you forgotten where I work?"

"Huh!" Li Jiayi scratched his head and then he remembered that his second brother worked in the factory office!
"Son, have you had another salary increase? How much did it increase this time?"

"It hasn't increased much. Now it's administrative level 22."

"Administrative level 22, that would be 56 yuan a month?" Ye Xin said in surprise.

"Ok!"

"That's great. Your father worked there for many years and was also an administrative level 22."

At this time, Li Aimin couldn't listen any more and said, "Don't just blame me! You have been working for so many years and you are not at this level yet!"

"What did you say?" Ye Xin asked with wide eyes.

"Uh! No, nothing!" Li Aimin was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was a little too proud of himself and dared to say anything.

Ye Xin snorted and ignored him. Instead, she looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Son, your current salary is higher than your father's."

Ye Xin remembered that her son had another salary at the district bureau! And it was also fifty-six, which was higher than the salary of a sixteenth-level section chief.

A section chief at level 16 only earns one hundred and ten yuan and fifty cents a month.

The total salary of Li Jiayi and his two salaries was one hundred and twelve yuan, with one dollar and fifty cents more.

Administrative level 16 can be either a section chief or a deputy director.

The same applies to administrative level 15 or administrative level 14, both of which are deputy director or section chief.

When you reach level thirteen, you will be at the deputy director or director level.

In fact, if we only count the salary, Li Jiayi earns more than 112 yuan. Don’t forget the Fifth Steel Rolling Mill and Hongye Steel Plant!
Although the wages in these two places are not high, they add up to 54 yuan.

All in all, Li Jiayi earns 166 yuan a month.

It is higher than the 155.5 yuan of administrative level 13 and lower than the 172.5 yuan of administrative level 12.

And this is just the salary, don't forget that Li Jiayi also has rewards! This is the most.

However, the bonus cannot be counted as salary, and his salary is actually just 166 yuan.

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Yes, he is a little taller than my dad."

"This is not just a little bit! It's more than ten yuan higher!" said the second sister Li Jialin at this time.

Li Jialin had been back for a while and had been standing at the door listening, and just happened to pick up on this conversation.

As soon as the second sister finished speaking, Li Aimin patted her on the head and said, "You are everywhere."

"Uh!"

"Very good, very good. Son, keep working hard and try to be twice as good as your father." Ye Xin said.

Li Jiayi touched his chin and said, "If it's just twice as much, I can achieve it without any effort."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, do you know what it means to be paid twice as much as I am? You really dare to say anything."

More than double his salary, that is 198! You know, the 11th level administrative salary is only 195.5 yuan a month!
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Is it difficult? My current salary is 166, and if it increases by more than 30, I will surpass you."

"One hundred and sixty-six? Son, what's going on? Even if you include the money from the district bureau, isn't your salary only one hundred and twelve yuan?" Ye Xin asked.

"That's right, Mom! I also get a salary from the Fifth Steel Rolling Mill and the Hongye Steel Mill, but it's relatively low. I only get 27 yuan from each of these two mills."

"What, you are receiving four salaries now?" Ye Xin looked at Li Jiayi in surprise.

I thought: Is this still my son? This is too much! Four salaries!

"Yes! It is indeed four salaries." Li Jia nodded.

"Hahaha, my good son, your salary is almost as much as mine and your father's combined."

"Brother! When my second sister starts working, can you help her get some salary?"

"Pull her aside." Ye Xin pushed Li Jialin aside.

Because Ye Xin knew very well that this was impossible. There must be a reason why her son could get four salaries.

It is simply impossible to get a salary for no reason.

"Okay, you brothers and sisters, chat, I'm going to go cook. We want to celebrate today, so I'll make a few more dishes."

"Mom, let me help you." Li Jiaqi quickly stood up and said.

"No, let your dad go and boil the pot."

"Oh! All right then."

Mom and Dad went to the kitchen to cook, and suddenly the whole living room became lively.

"Brother, how did you get four salaries? Teach me!" said the second sister.

"Second sister, don't even think about it. The only reason I get four salaries is because I earned it through hard work."

"Earned income?"

"Yes! I purchased supplies from them! And even so, I'm just a temporary worker."

"Temporary workers? How can temporary workers get such high salaries?"

Generally, temporary workers only earn twelve to fifteen yuan a month.

For example, Grandpa Sun, who works as a cleaner in the street office, is a temporary worker and earns 15 yuan a month.

There are also some temporary workers who get even lower wages, only twelve yuan a month, and they work for a shorter period of time.

As a temporary worker, Li Jiayi received the highest salary among temporary workers.

Although temporary workers' wages are low, they are more than enough to support two or three people.

You have to know that here in the capital, the average income per person is five yuan, which does not make us considered poor!

Even if the salary is only twelve yuan, it will be no problem to support three people if you work hard.

As long as there is a quota, buying food doesn't cost much money at all.

White flour costs a little over 10 cents per pound, corn flour costs 7 cents per pound, corn flour costs 5 cents per pound, and coarse grains are even cheaper.

Even if you buy all corn flour, one hundred kilograms would only cost seven yuan.

Besides, this is simply impossible because the ration of coarse grains is only 30%.

Ten percent is rice, twenty percent is flour, and after removing thirty percent of coarse grains, the remaining forty percent is miscellaneous grains.

So, if you just want to survive, the temporary worker salary of twelve yuan can definitely support three people.

"The reason why my temporary worker salary is so high is because it includes meal allowance and transportation allowance."

"Meal allowance and car allowance? Do temporary workers get these benefits?" The second sister asked the eldest sister.

"I don't know about that, probably not!" said the eldest sister, shaking her head.

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at his second sister and said, "My temporary job is a buyer. The other two or three certainly don't have this benefit."

"Uh! Is that so!"

"Every unplanned purchaser in the factory has this benefit, and it is directly calculated into their salary."

"So that's how it is! What you said makes me want to be a buyer." said the second sister.

"Forget it! Just sit in the office and don't think about those trivial things." Li Jiayi shook his head.

Letting my second sister be a buyer, isn't that a joke! If she really became a buyer, she would just sleep at home every day.

For the next period of time, Li Jiayi had nothing to do except delivering things to these factories and attending classes at school every day.

Moreover, he has already agreed with Teacher Wang that he will no longer translate materials in the future, as it is too boring.

But the weather was getting colder and colder, and my second sister was so cold that she didn’t want to go to school.

Unfortunately, she is not Li Jiayi, so it is impossible for her not to go to school.

But it was only cold outside. The house was very warm. Not only was there a fireplace, but the stove was also lit when we went to bed at night.

There's nothing we can do. It's not even December yet and the temperature has already reached -6 degrees Celsius.

Of course, this is at night, but the highest temperature during the day is only two or three degrees, and this is around two or three in the afternoon.

At other times, the temperature is basically below zero, especially in the morning and evening, around minus four or five degrees Celsius, which can be said to be extremely cold.

Fortunately, the Li Jia family had no shortage of cloth or cotton. As for Li Jiayi, he would start making goose down jackets whenever the weather got cold.

Because his body grows every year, he has to make two sets of clothes to change into.

So no matter how cold the weather is, Li Jiayi doesn't feel anything.

In 1958, the coldest year, Li Jiayi made leather jackets. It’s not that cold now, so he doesn’t make them again.

In fact, the goose down jacket made by Li Jiayi is warm enough to be worn inside.

A pair of goose down pants used for inner wear uses three to four hundred grams of goose down.

A goose down jacket for inner wear requires four to five hundred grams of goose down. This is because the weather is quite cold now, but if it were in later times, people would probably still sweat!
That evening, Li Jiayi and his second sister had just returned from school when they heard bursts of laughter coming from the house.

After tying up the bicycle, I returned to the house.

"What are you so happy about?" Li Jiayi asked while hanging his schoolbag.

"Your Uncle Nan is getting married."

"What?"

"You kid, your uncle Nan is getting married."

"With whom?"

"You unlucky child, of course you're with your Aunt Liang! Who else can you be with?"

"Hahaha, then congratulations, Uncle Nan." Li Jiayi walked up to Nan Yi and said.

"Don't congratulate me yet, kid. I still need your help with something!" Nan Yi said.

"You said it, as long as I can do it, I will absolutely do it without hesitation." Li Jiayi said, patting his chest.

"Help me get some ingredients, everything you want, do you think you can get it?" Nan Yi looked at Li Jiayi and asked.

"Hey! I thought it was something else! Isn't it just getting some ingredients? Do you need me to get you some Moutai?"

Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Nan Yi grabbed Li Jiayi's arm and asked, "Can you get it back?"

"No, Uncle Nan, you are stupid! You can buy Moutai anywhere now."

"Uh! Can I?"

"Of course, it's 16 yuan a bottle, you can buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Pfft! Come on! Do I look like the Maotai that costs 16 yuan a bottle?"

Just kidding, a bottle costs sixteen dollars. If you really put this thing on the table, I guess people will drink some even if they can't drink.

In that case, how much wine would be needed for this banquet? Even if he took out all his savings, it probably wouldn't be enough.

He thought Li Jiayi could help him get cheap Moutai!
But cheap Moutai requires tickets!
"Then there's no other way. I think you should just use Erguotou! That thing doesn't require a ticket and it's cheap."

"That's all I can do, but you have to prepare the ingredients for me."

"The ingredients are definitely fine, but Uncle Nan, when are you planning to host it? Also, how many tables do you plan to host?"

Hearing Li Jiayi's question, Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know many people in our hospital, but there are a few that we want to invite, and then there are my co-workers here, and your Aunt Liang's co-workers."

After saying that, he thought about it again and said, "About five or six tables!"

"Five or six tables, right? Okay, I got it. I'll prepare ingredients for eight tables for you."

"Okay. Also, it'll be held this Sunday."

"Sunday? This Sunday?"

"Yeah! What's the matter?"

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "I don't have time on Sunday!"

"Ah! What should we do?"

"Uncle Nan, did you do this on purpose? You knew I was going out on Sunday, and then you held a banquet?"

"I……"

"Okay, I'll prepare everything for you, but I can't attend your wedding."

"Ah! You can't participate? I thought you didn't have time to prepare the ingredients!"

Nan Yi's words hurt Li Jiayi very much. It turned out that the food was much more important than his attending the wedding.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry, Jiayi. I really didn't know you were going out on Sunday. How about this! I'll make it up to you when you come back."

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "Uncle Nan, what are you trying to give me? Are you planning to get married again?"

"Get lost! Who wants to get married again? I'm just giving you a make-up banquet."

"I owe you this meal!"

The most exciting part of a wedding is not the feast, but the participation.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Nan Yi shrugged and said.

"By the way, who are you going to ask to prepare the wedding banquet for you?"

"Who else could it be? It must be Sha Zhu and Liao Kai! There are two chefs living in this courtyard. I can go outside to find someone else!"

"That's right." Nan Yi got married too quickly. From what Li Jiayi knew, it was only three days before he got married.

It's really a bit hasty, but it's normal. The weather is getting colder and colder. It's better to get pregnant now than in the cold winter.

And the reason why Nan Yi got married now is probably because it’s cold! Burning two fires is different from burning one fire!

With the coal coupons issued by the street office, it is definitely not enough to burn two stoves, but it is more than enough for one stove.

Although Nan Yi is the only person, the number of coal tickets is the same. This is not based on per capita, but on household.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, there are more large households, but in the entire No. 7 Courtyard, there are no two households that can be considered large households.

I guess Liang Ladi didn't want her child to suffer in the cold for another year, so she married herself to Nan Yi.

This is good, the yard will be more lively in the future.

In fact, there is more than one happy event. He Yushui is also engaged. Yes, it is Qin Han who was introduced to her by Li Jiayi.

However, we have to wait until Qin Han graduates to get married, but it is still a happy event.

Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye. Needless to say, Li Jiayi skipped classes in the afternoon.

After returning home, I drove my tricycle to the Pigeon Market and sold fish for the whole afternoon before going home.

There are too many fish in the space now, and the factories are unwilling to accept them. Well, there is pork, who would want fish!

Look, recently Li Jiayi would go to the Pigeon Market to sell fish whenever he had nothing to do.

Although the number of people who buy this stuff is not as many as those who buy pork, there are still quite a few.

After all, it’s meat! It’s better than nothing!

The main reason is that Li Jiayi’s fish is relatively cheap. A six-pound fish only costs two yuan without a ticket.

You have to know that in a seafood store, this fish costs one dollar and eighty or ninety yuan even if you buy it with a ticket!

Yes, the fish in the seafood shop is sold at 30 cents per pound, but you still have to use a ticket. So when you calculate it this way, it’s much cheaper.

However, Li Jiayi had to deal with these fish, so it didn't matter if it was cheap. It was better than throwing them in a static space.

But even so, I only made more than a thousand yuan in the afternoon, which is nothing compared to selling pork.

This is not about how much stuff is sold, but how much money is sold for.

Halfway through the journey, Li Jiayi put the things he prepared for Nan Yi into the carriage.

He prepared a lot for Nan Yi! A total of eight carps, eight chickens, and eight pork elbows.

In addition to these, thirty kilograms of pork, ten kilograms of beef and ten kilograms of mutton were also prepared.

The rest are vegetables, mainly radishes and cabbages, as well as potatoes, onions, carrots, garlic sprouts, etc.

He didn't take out anything else, but this was enough, at least there was some garlic sprouts as a vegetable.

In fact, Li Jiayi still has vermicelli in his space! But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

Even if he didn't take it out, Nan Yi would go to his house to get it, because Nan Yi knew that he had it at home.

You can take it home when the time comes.

Li Jiayi came back late, and as expected, he was surrounded as soon as he entered the yard through the back door.

"Uncle Nan, do you think it's that serious? How could I forget it?"

"Oh! Plus one! Uncle Nan doesn't mean I don't believe you. I'm just looking to see if there's anything missing and then think of a solution."

"Jiayi, what did you bring back?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Are there any vegetables?" Liao Kai also asked.

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Uncle Liao, what are you thinking? For so many people, I have to prepare green vegetables! But I am not without them, do garlic sprouts count?"

"Yes! Why not?"

"Then there is."

Li Jiayi took out the things quickly. Even He Yuzhu took a breath when he saw what Li Jiayi took out.

Apart from anything else, those eight big elbows are eye-catching!
Liao Kai looked at these things, turned his head and said to Nan Yi: "These are basically enough."

"Is this basically enough? What do you want to do?" He Yuzhu asked with an inexperienced look.

"Zhu Zi! Nan Yi said it was a big event, how can we just be perfunctory?"

"It's enough to hold all these grand banquets! I haven't prepared such a lavish banquet in all these years."

Nan Yi turned his head and looked at Ye Xin who was standing next to him and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to borrow some vermicelli from your house."

"What do you want to borrow? Go to the side room and get as much as you need."

Li Jiayi doesn’t eat vermicelli much, so he can’t eat much of the vermicelli from his shop.

Li Jiayi brought back 20 kilograms of vermicelli in early October. It has been almost two months, and there are probably more than 10 kilograms left.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. How about this? I can't make vermicelli either. I'll give you the money later!"

"No, it's not worth much money." Ye Xin shook his head and said.

Li Jiayi originally thought that they would have to start working tomorrow morning! Unexpectedly, the three of them started working right after they got the things to Nan Yi's house.

That’s right. If you work harder today, you’ll have a lot easier tomorrow. These jobs are theirs anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether you work early or late.

Moreover, if we do it today, Nan Yi will help. But if we wait until tomorrow, it will be the job of Liao Kai and He Yuzhu alone.

Who would go to work on their wedding day? And before the wedding.

At around five o'clock the next morning, Li Jiayi came out of the space.

I originally thought he got up early enough, but when I got downstairs I realized that he was quite late.

Not only my parents have gotten up, but even my older sister, younger sister, and cousin have all gotten up.

What made Li Jiayi feel most incredible was that his eldest brother and second brother also came.

But he soon understood what was going on. Nan Yi was getting married today, and not only did his eldest and second brothers have to go to pick up the bride, but they also had to work when they came back.

As for the eldest and second sisters, they were probably just there to watch the fun and help out.

"Why are you all up so early?" Li Jiayi asked.

"It's the same for you," said the second brother.

"Of course it's different! I got up because I'm going back to the village today."

"Ah! Jiayi, are you going back to the village?" asked the second brother.

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are asking even though you already know the answer. Which Sunday do I not go home?"

"No, of course I knew I went back before, but why are you going back now when it's so cold?"

"He's not cold." Li Aimin added.

After hearing what his uncle said, Li Cheng thought about it and realized it was true. After the weather got cold, Li Jia installed a glass compartment when he went out.

With the current weather, it is indeed not too cold as long as you are not blown by the wind.

"Mom and Dad, why are you up so early too?"

"Nan Yi, do you have any relatives here? Your father and I will go and help."

"All right!"

In fact, not only his parents went to help, but Xu Wenwen, Qian Meilin and He Yushui also went to help.

There are also the two sisters Sun Qingmin and Shi Qiaomei. This was all discussed in advance, but Li Jiayi didn't know about it.

Nan Yi is getting married today. This is the only one of his kind this year. Next year there will be two in this courtyard.

The first one is of course Li Chengqian and Sun Qingmin, because Li Chengqian got married as soon as he reached the age.

As for He Yushui, she has to wait until Qin Han graduates. Even if they want to get married, it will be after July.

It’s definitely not as early as Li Chengqian’s birthday, which is in April.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving first."

"Son, don't you want to eat something before leaving?" Ye Xin asked.

"No, I'll just have some breakfast outside later."

"OK then!"

"Jiayi, when I came over just now, I saw Brother Zhuzi was making soup. He said it would be easier to work after drinking the soup. Why don't you go and take a look?" said the eldest brother.

Li Jiayi thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Li Jiayi hurriedly passed through the moon gate and came to the backyard of Yard No. 7. As soon as he arrived there, he saw He Yuzhu holding a bowl, drinking something and eating steaming steamed buns.

"Hey, Jiayi is here?"

"Brother Zhuzi, what are you doing?"

"I made some hot and sour soup. Would you like some? I'll serve you a bowl." He Yuzhu put down the bowl and said.

"Well! Give me a bowl! I'll just drink it and then go out."

He Yuzhu picked up a bowl, filled one up and handed it to Li Jiayi.

Li Jiayi took a look and found that there were not only eggs in the soup, but also day lily.

Li Jiayi was not polite and directly picked up a steamed bun and took a sip and a bite.

I finished a bowl of soup and two steamed buns. To be honest, this is much better than having breakfast.

This hot and sour soup suits Li Jiayi's taste very well because he likes spicy food!
"Hahaha, how is it? My soup is delicious, right?" He Yuzhu asked.

"It's good."

"Would you like another bowl?"

"No need, Brother Zhuzi, everyone hasn't eaten yet!"

As soon as Li Jiayi finished speaking, he heard Liao Kai say, "You two can do it! Start eating first."

"Uncle Liao."

"You haven't left yet?"

"Let's go. Shouldn't we eat something first?"

"That's great. I don't have to eat breakfast outside."

"Yes." Li Jia nodded.

"Have you finished eating Zhuzi?" Liao Kai asked.

"what?"

"When you're done eating, go call everyone over to eat! Then start working."

"Okay, I'll go get someone, you can eat!"

After He Yuzhu went to call for help, Li Jiayi said to Liao Kai, "Uncle Liao, I'm leaving first."

"Go ahead! Be careful on the road."

"know."

As soon as Li Jiayi returned to the East Courtyard, he started the tricycle and left the yard.

It wasn't cold at all driving the tricycle, it was even a little warmer than staying in the yard.

Yes, there is wind in the yard, but there is no wind in the car.

But this time when I go back I have to tell the villagers that if it snows on Sunday next time, they should not kill the pigs.

Because he was afraid that he would not be able to get through at that time. This was normal. His tricycle would not be able to run if there was even a little snow.

He could use a sled, but that would have to wait until the snow stopped!
There is no shed for sledding! If you run on a snowy day, you probably won’t be able to see anyone when you get there.

We had already finished our meal, so there was no need to stop. We headed straight to Lijia Village once we left the city.

There is no problem at all for the tricycle to take the small road, as it is quite close.

Even though the weather was quite cold, he still arrived at Lijia Village at around eight o'clock.

It was still the same tune as before, and screams could be heard from the village no matter how far away I was.

It is estimated that many people will slaughter pigs today. Yes, not only Li Jiayi thought about the snow, but the villagers also thought about it.

Everyone knows that the road is difficult to travel after it snows, so it is estimated that Li Jiayi can only come here on a sunny day.

In this case, it is better to kill the pig in advance and keep the money in your own pocket for safety.

Li Jiayi still did not go to the village, but went directly to his grandmother's house.

Although the door was open today, my grandparents were not in the yard but in the house.

Yes, it’s not warm today!

However, when she heard the engine sound, grandma still came out of the house.

"Come here, grandson, come into the house and warm up." Grandma came up and took Li Jiayi's hand and said.

"Okay grandma, but wait a moment."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, grandma asked, "You brought something again?"

"Yes! I brought some pork fat, and also some sesame paste and sesame salt."

When she heard that it was pork fat, sesame paste and sesame salt, grandma didn't say anything else.

Because these are all needed, but Li Jiayi brought more than just these, he also brought some vegetables for his grandparents.

Tomatoes, garlic sprouts, spinach, beans, cucumbers, eggplants, etc.

Except for spinach, there is no problem keeping other ingredients for three to five days.

In this weather, as long as it is not left outside to freeze, it will be fine even if it is kept for ten or eight days.

"Kid, why did you bring so many dishes again? We haven't finished the ones we brought last week."

"Grandma, you and Grandpa should eat more vegetables to supplement your vitamins. If you can't finish them, you can give some to your uncle's family."

"I've already given it to you. Otherwise there would be even more left over. How much can your grandfather and I eat? You gave me so much at once."

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Then I'll send less next time."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi forgot to calculate the number of people, so he delivered food based on a week's supply for the family. It was impossible for grandparents and uncle and aunt to finish it.

When he came into the house, Li Jiayi saw his grandfather lying on a recliner smoking, and there was a fireplace in the house.

This fireplace was also repaired in 1958. Because the house is small, the fireplace is also small.

But even so, the room is very warm.

"Sure, Grandpa, the fireplace is lit."

"Of course, if you have it, why not use it?"

"Too."

In order to burn the fireplace in winter, my grandfather would go to the back mountain to collect firewood when he had nothing to do.

Now there is not only a lot of firewood piled up in the yard, but also a lot piled up outside the yard.

I guess it will be fine if it burns for a few years.

"Grandpa, when will we slaughter the other pig?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Wait a little longer! Then you can recognize it as long."

Grandma's family has three pigs. According to my grandfather's idea, they were supposed to be slaughtered and eaten during the Chinese New Year.

After Li Jiayi's persuasion, one was kept and the other two were killed and sold for meat.

One was killed some time ago, and now there is one left.

"That's fine. It's up to you."

Li Jiayi didn't care. Even if he didn't sell a single one, he would still have to rely on his grandparents for money.

Many elderly people have the idea of ​​saving money for retirement, but grandparents don’t.

It’s not that grandparents don’t save money, but they don’t save money for their retirement.

"Come here, grandson, have some tea to warm yourself up." Grandma poured a pot of tea and handed it over.

"Grandma, I can do it myself, you sit down and have a rest!"

"Grandma isn't tired."

"By the way, grandson, the eggs collected this week are all in the west room. Take a look later."

"Grandma, why are you looking at it? Just put it on when you leave."

It is becoming increasingly difficult to collect eggs now, mainly because many chickens no longer lay eggs.

There are a lot more chickens and ducks than before. I guess they are killed when they stop laying eggs.

In the countryside, as long as there are chickens, there will be no shortage of chicks because everyone hatches them themselves.

Some old hens that lay eggs will sit on a nest and hatch some chicks when they are no longer laying eggs.

So just kill them, and wait until the chicks have been raised for more than half a year, then they can start laying eggs.

Of course, people will not kill all the old hens, but only kill some of them. After all, it takes some time for the chicks to grow up.

"By the way, grandson, what do you want to eat for lunch? Grandma will make it for you."

"Grandma, I'll eat whatever you cook. I love everything you cook."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, grandma was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Only the grandfather curled his lips, but he had to admit that his eldest grandson was really good at coaxing people with his mouth.

Now all the adult pigs in my uncle's family have been sold, so he basically has nothing to do, except for helping out when others are slaughtering pigs.

In this way, when it’s time to harvest the meat, grandpa and uncle will help, so grandma and aunt can cook.

Sure enough, just after nine o'clock, my uncle and aunt came over.

"Dad, Mom." Uncle and aunt came in and said hello first.

"Are you done?" Grandpa asked.

"Well! Now all that's left is to clean up." Uncle nodded.

My uncle went to help others kill a pig. The pig had already been killed and all that was left was to clean up. I guess others knew he was coming over to help, so they let him come over first.

"Uncle and aunt." Li Jiayi also quickly stood up and greeted them.

"Sit down and talk, why are you standing up?" The uncle pushed Li Jiayi down on the chair and said.

"Jia Yi, aren't Cheng Qian and Cheng Hou going to take a break today?" asked the old lady.

"My eldest and second brothers are both resting today, but an uncle in the hospital who I have a good relationship with is getting married, so they went to help."

"That's it!"

I guess the old lady asked this because she saw Li Jiayi driving back in a car with a canopy.

Unfortunately, what the aunt didn’t know was that even if he was driving a tricycle with a canopy, Li Jiayi would not allow his eldest and second brothers to follow him.

Unless he didn't come back to collect things, how could he put these things into the space!
"Jiayi, who are you close to in your courtyard? Isn't Liao Kai married?" asked the grandfather.
