Chapter 334 I took on all the responsibility

“Grandpa, it’s Uncle Nan Yi who’s getting married.”

"Oh! I see. It's the cook who moved to your courtyard not long ago."

"Yes." Li Jia nodded.

"We should help." The old man nodded.

Although the old man had never been to the city, he was very familiar with the yard.

The main thing is that every time he comes over to chat, he would talk about things in the courtyard, and the old man has a particularly good memory.

"Jiayi, you should be graduating after the Chinese New Year, right?"

"Yes uncle."

"So how much salary can you get after you start working?" The uncle was still quite concerned about this.

"I don't know either. Let's see how much the factory will give us when the time comes!"

"During the National Day holiday, your eldest brother came back and told me that your current salary is 43 yuan per month. Once you start working in the factory, it will be even higher."

"Uncle, you are talking about the past. I am now an administrative level 22, and my monthly salary is 56 yuan."

"What? Fifty-six dollars. I remember your dad worked for so many years and his salary was only fifty-six dollars."

"Yeah! It just went up a while ago." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.

"Kid, your salary is more than your two brothers combined."

"No way! My eldest brother is now an eighth-level clerk, and his salary has increased to thirty-three."

"Ah! Your brother's salary also increased?" the aunt asked happily.

"Yeah! It was just raised a while ago, too. It was raised one level."

"I don't know when your second brother will be able to be promoted." The old lady muttered.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How long has Chenghou been in class? How could he be promoted?"

"Yes, Auntie. My eldest brother also got promoted one grade after one year of study. Now he has been promoted two grades after two years."

To be honest, the reason why Li Chengqian was promoted so quickly was entirely because of Li Jiayi. Otherwise, he might not have been promoted to the next level even if he had studied for two years.

You should know that according to normal procedures, it takes at least three years for a clerk to be promoted from level ten to level seven.

To go from Level 7 to Level 4, it takes at least four years to advance one level.

It takes five years to advance from Level 4 to Level 1, and that's assuming good work performance and no mistakes.

"I...I didn't mean that. I just said it casually." The old lady said quickly.

Li Jiayi knew that the old lady didn't mean that! He just wanted to know when Li Chenghou would be promoted.

It was just that the uncle was making a fuss out of nothing, probably because he was afraid that Li Jiayi would misunderstand, so he scolded the aunt.

"Auntie, I know. Don't worry about uncle. He is just like that. We are a family and there is nothing we can't say."

"Uh-huh!"

"But uncle and aunt, I also want to tell you that it is a great favor for my brother to be promoted one level every year. According to the normal process, it would take at least three years for my brother to be promoted one level."

"Ah! It takes three years to advance one level! Add one, did you spend money to find someone?" the old lady asked.

"It is true that it takes three years to get promoted to level one. My dad worked for so many years before he was promoted from level six to level four."

"But I didn't spend money to find someone, nor do I need to spend money to find someone. As long as I am still in the factory, they will give me some face."

Li Aimin is at the administrative level, but if I tell this to my uncle and aunt, I have to explain it again, so I just tell them according to the clerk level.

Yes, when Li Aimin entered the factory he was at administrative level 24, which was equivalent to a clerk level 6.

After working in the factory for eleven or twelve years, he was promoted from level 24 to level 22, the same level as Li Jiayi's current level.

"At least I didn't have to spend any money to find someone." The old lady said with a sigh of relief.

The old lady's worries were unnecessary. Even if the money was really spent, that little bit of money was nothing to Li Jiayi.

"By the way, Jiayi, Cheng Qian and Qing Min are getting married soon. Do you think your uncle and I should go meet the in-laws?"

"Auntie, this is for sure! How can the children get married but the in-laws haven't met yet? But don't worry about it, let's wait until after the Chinese New Year!"

"That's fine. I just happen to be visiting your house during the New Year, so I might as well meet you while I'm here!"

"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded.

You have to know that my uncle and aunt have never been to the city. It’s not that they don’t want to visit Li Jia’s family during the New Year, but it’s mainly because it’s too troublesome to go from the countryside to the city.

So we didn't let them come. Besides, wouldn't it be better for them to come back to the village and get together during the New Year?

There is no need for family members to be so distant from each other.

At around ten o'clock, someone finally brought the meat over, and Li Jiayi, his grandfather and his uncle began to collect the meat.

After the meat was collected, it was thrown into the carriage. In terms of size, this carriage with a shed was much larger than the one with only one box.

"Brother San, you should keep the pig for a while longer before killing it. It's a bit early now."

A pig weighs only about 120 pounds of pork. You don't even need to look at the meat to know that the pig was not big when it was slaughtered.

"I originally wanted to raise it until the end of the year before killing it, but your nephew is getting married, so I killed him early."

"Uh! All right!"

Even though Li Jiayi is called the third brother, he is several years older than his uncle!

He is the third elder brother and has two daughters and two sons. The eldest daughter and son are both married.

There is a son and a daughter left, and now the youngest son is getting ready to get married.

"Third brother, I think you did it on purpose. You just pretended to be poor in front of your in-laws. When they come back, you will say that you sold all the grown pigs you raised at home."

"That's right. Even if others don't know, how could we not know? This is the fourth pig you've sold! You can't be short of this little money for the wedding."

"Oh, what do you know? The third brother is right to do this. His in-laws are not easy to deal with. If they knew that the third brother is rich, they would ask for a lot of money!"

"Why, Lao Wu, do you know Lao San's in-laws?"

"I don't know them, but I know people from their village. I heard about them when we were chatting."

The third brother sighed and said, "Old Five is right. My in-law is not a good person. He has three daughters and one boy. The eldest was sold by him. Although the second was not sold, it was almost the same. The one my boy married is the third daughter."

"If it's not the third brother, then your nephew can't find a wife? Why did you find him such a father-in-law?"

Lijia Village is now a wealthy village! Although outsiders don't know, it's still no problem to find a wife.

The third brother shook his head and said, "Although her father is not a good person, the child is good! She is filial and kind."

"Uh! Is that so!"

"The third brother is right. Although her father is not a good person, his three daughters are all good children. Only his son is not a good person."

Hearing their conversation, Li Jiayi got a headache. He had a good-for-nothing father and a good-for-nothing brother. He knew he would be in trouble in the future.

"Third brother, have you paid the betrothal gift?"

The third brother shook his head and said, "Not yet."

"How much do you want as a gift?"

"Fifty."

"How...how much more?" A group of people looked at the third brother in disbelief.

You have to know that in this era, especially in rural areas, the bride price is usually just a few yuan, and if the conditions are particularly good, ten or eight yuan will be given.

Some families with poor conditions even give a two-yuan dowry. Under normal circumstances, the dowry is basically five yuan.

You have to know that it is a collective system now. A family, after working hard for a year, only gets some food and a dozen yuan.

And these ten or so dollars are almost enough to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for the next year.

The man asked for a dowry of fifty yuan, which is very little even in the city. You should know that even in the city, the dowry is only ten or eight yuan, and at most two bags of snacks and two kilograms of fruit candy.

"I say, Third Brother, do you agree to all these conditions?"

"What if I don't agree? My boy has fallen in love with this girl." The third brother said helplessly.

"Third brother, there must be a reason for asking for so much dowry, right?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Yes! There is a saying, that is, we will not have any contact in the future."

The fifth brother then shouted, "They are selling the third daughter again."

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi was also stunned for a moment. If what his third brother said was true, the other party really sold his daughter. No wonder he wanted fifty yuan.

In this era, fifty yuan may not be a lot in the city, but in the countryside, it is definitely a lot of money.

A family gets about ten dollars a year, and it will take three or four years to save up fifty dollars.

Don't forget, this is talking about three or four years without spending a penny.

But is this possible? No lights! No salt!

In fact, even in the city, it is a considerable amount of money for most families.

These fifty yuan are really nothing for a well-off family, but how many well-off families are there in the city?

For most families, the salary they earn is just enough to cover the family’s expenses. After all, you have to spend money everywhere in the city!

In the countryside, food is distributed, so it doesn't cost much, but in the city, everything costs money.

Let’s talk about Courtyard No. 7 where Li Jia’s family lives. About 60% of the families in Courtyard No. 7 have a balanced income and expenditure.

This is even with the help of Li Jiayi, such as Cheng Qiaoyun's family, Aunt Xu's family or Uncle Sun's family.

Otherwise, it would not be just 6% of households that have a balanced income and expenditure, but more than 10% of households would have expenses exceeding their income.

With the help of Li Jiayi, they now have surplus money every month.

Otherwise, in the entire No. 7 Courtyard, only about 20% of the families have surplus.

Surplus and affluence are two different concepts. In the entire No. 7 Courtyard, there are probably only two wealthy families, Li Jia's family and Liao Kai's family.

Even Nan Yi and He Yuzhu didn't dare to say that they were from a wealthy family.

Of course, the Li Jia family is wealthy because of Li Jiayi, otherwise, they would also be a wealthy family.

Courtyard No. 7 is a microcosm of the entire imperial capital. Just as Courtyard No. 7 is like this, so is the entire imperial capital.

"Third brother, I advise you to ask the other party to write a letter of severance when you give the money." Li Jiayi said.

In later generations, laws were talked about everywhere, and even a letter of severance of relationship was useless. But in this era with imperfect laws, this thing was particularly useful.

"That's right, Third Brother. I think Jiayi is right."

In fact, Li Jiayi is the youngest of his generation. In the past, his name would definitely be similar to his grandfather's.

Either they were called Lao Gen or Lao Yao. There was nothing we could do about it. There was no culture in the past.

The names are whatever they want, such as Goudan, Shiluo, Niucao, Tiechui, etc.

"Well! I'll discuss it with my daughter-in-law later. If she's willing, then I'll write it."

Hearing what the third brother said, it seems that the third brother is also very satisfied with this daughter-in-law! Otherwise, he would not have discussed it with her.

In this day and age, if a girl has a father like this, her life is basically over.

Although free love was vigorously promoted in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, arranged marriages were not allowed.

But the effect is not good. Not to mention in rural areas, even in cities, marriages are basically arranged by parents and matchmakers.

As for the rural areas, it goes without saying that people there don’t even know what love is, and love is not allowed.

If you dare to fall in love, I will say you are a hooligan.

People at this time are very conservative. Not to mention kissing or hugging, even holding hands can accuse you of being shameless or even of being a hooligan.

In the 1950s, men and women could finally walk side by side and pass small notes to each other at close range. This was called holding hands.

In the 1960s, men and women shyly held the two opposite corners of a handkerchief together, which was called holding hands.

In the 1970s, men and women would each put their little fingers together and hook them together, which was called holding hands.

In the 1980s, a woman would hold a man's fingers so that they could meet acquaintances and let go at the right time. This was called holding hands.

In the 1990s, when a man walked with his head held by a woman's hand, it was called holding hands.

At the beginning of the new century, when a woman put her arm around a man, almost hanging on him, it was called holding hands.

After 2010, a man's arm struggled to cross half of a woman's back and hug that half of her waist even though she was thousands of miles away. That was called holding hands.

The phrase "holding your hand and growing old together" used to be extremely sacred, but it has become a joke since the beginning of the new century.

We worked and chatted at the same time, and finally finished collecting the crops at around eleven o'clock.

There are relatively few chicken and duck eggs now. The ones collected today, plus the ones collected by my grandmother before, are less than two thousand in total.

Today we harvested more than 2,300 kilograms of pork, more than 310 white-feathered chickens, and 120 ducks.

Although Li Jiayi has harvested a lot during this period, there are more chickens, ducks and pigs in Lijia Village than before.

Of course, this is talking about quantity.

Li Jiayi also told the villagers not to raise too many chickens at once. For example, each household should raise a few chickens every month.

The same goes for pigs and ducks.

It is best to plan your breeding so that you will have pigs to slaughter every month. Otherwise, if you drive them all to slaughter at the same time, you may not have any pork to harvest for a long time.

When Li Jiayi finished his work, his grandmother and aunt had already prepared the meal.

While eating, grandma asked, "I just heard you say that Xiao San's kid is getting married?"

"Yes, mother." Uncle nodded and said.

"I didn't expect that Xiao San's kid is already married. I remember he is two years younger than Cheng Qian, right?"

"Ok!"

"Grandpa and grandma, girls from our village marry outside, and girls from other villages marry into our village, why don't you find a partner in the village?"

"Add one! We all have the same ancestor, how can we find it in the village?" said the uncle, shaking his head.

"Why not? Many are beyond the fifth mourning period. As long as you are beyond the fifth mourning period, you can get married."

"Uh! This..."

You should know that in later generations, the law clearly stipulates that direct blood relatives within three generations cannot marry, but they can marry if they are more than three generations, that is, if they are more than three generations apart.

To put it bluntly, no one started it. If there was one, there would be many more.

"Jia Yi! When will you bring me a granddaughter-in-law?" Grandma asked with a smile.

"Grandma, I'm only fifteen, it's still a long way to go before I can get married! It'll take at least four or five years."

"Mom, the city is different from the countryside. In the city, boys must be over 20 years old." said the uncle.

"Why do you have to stipulate this? When I married your father, I was only fifteen years old."

The aunt said at this time: "Mom, I was also fifteen years old when I got married."

"Yeah."

This was very normal before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and some people even got married at a younger age. The main reason was that there was no regulation on the age at which people could get married at that time!
You should know that there are some wealthy families who find a teenage wife for a boy as soon as he is born, and hold a wedding for the boy when he is seven or eight years old.

This was a normal thing in the past.

Things like child brides can be seen in many books or TV dramas in later generations!
"Mom, things are different now. If Jiayi wants to get married before he turns 20, he can only give up his city hukou and return to the village."

"Forget it, it's better to wait a few years! Isn't it good to eat commercial grain and earn a salary in the city? Why do you want to go back to the village to farm?"

After dinner, Li Jiayi did not leave immediately, but stayed to chat with his grandparents.

When the weather was hot, we were afraid that the meat would go bad. Now that the weather is cold, the meat won’t go bad at all, so of course we can’t leave so quickly.

Of course, uncle and aunt didn't go back either. There was nothing to do if they went back, so they might as well stay and chat.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Li Jiayi had to leave. It was not summer now!
It gets dark early now, around five o'clock. If he doesn't leave now, it will probably be dark before he gets back to the city.

His tricycle has every feature good except that it has no lights. If it was in the city it would be fine, but outside the city, it is very likely that the tricycle would be driven into a ditch.

At about 4:30, Li Jiayi finally returned to the city.

There's nothing to worry about. There's no way to collect the money today anyway, so just send the things over.

It doesn't matter if I go back late.

So, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle directly to the district bureau.

The canteen of the district bureau is very different from the canteen of the factory!

They don't cook anything except breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes even extra meals at night.

Of course, not everyone is present for this evening meal. Only two people are needed to stay and work overtime.

"Unloading time." Li Jiayi arrived outside the district bureau cafeteria and shouted inside.

Soon, squad leader Wang came out and looked at Li Jiayi and said, "You're a little late today!"

"I can't help it, Uncle Wang. The days are so short now! I left home early in the morning and I just hurried back."

Li Jiayi pretended to be very hard-working.

Seeing him like this, squad leader Wang was also helpless. He knew that the day was short, but he didn't believe that Li Jiayi was rushing.

No matter what others say, he will definitely believe it, but Li Jiayi is too smart.

"Uncle Wang, you don't believe me. In that case, I will take a day off next week, then recuperate and go again the week after next!"

"No! When has Uncle Wang ever stopped trusting you? Let's put it this way! From now on, no matter how late you come back, Uncle Wang will wait for you."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Uncle Wang, how could he lie to you?"

"Okay! Then please ask someone to unload the goods quickly! I'm still waiting to go home for dinner!"

"Okay, wait."

After Uncle Wang said this, he turned around and shouted to the cafeteria, "What are you all dawdling about for? Come out quickly and unload the things."

"coming."

People from the cafeteria ran out one after another and started moving things inside.

"Hey, it's so cold, but the meat is not frozen?" said a cafeteria employee.

"Is it hard to understand? My car has a canopy, and it's not as cold inside as outside."

After hearing what he said, everyone looked at his tricycle, and then saw the glass on it, and they began to believe it.

"Okay, hurry up and take your things in. Do you still want to get off work?" Squad Leader Wang shouted.

When they heard that it was time to get off work, the cafeteria staff immediately sped up their pace.

Who doesn’t want to get off work early?

Soon all the things on the tricycle were unloaded. Some people were weighing the eggs, some were counting the eggs, and some were loading the empty egg trays onto Li Jiayi's tricycle.

The things delivered today included 900 chicken eggs and 400 duck eggs.

There were 2,300 kilograms of pork, 310 chickens, and 120 ducks. He didn't even take out the remaining items.

He will make up the difference next time he collects some. If it’s still not enough, he will wait until the next time. He doesn’t like difference anyway.

Because it’s troublesome to calculate.

Soon Li Jiayi got the ticket issued by Squad Leader Wang.

"Uncle Wang, I'm leaving first."

"Okay, go ahead! Don't forget to collect the money later."

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang. Even if you forget to go to bed at night, I won't forget to collect the money."

"You little bastard, I think you deserve to be punished."

Unfortunately, he couldn't catch up with Li Jiayi at all. When he reached the entrance of the cafeteria, Li Jiayi had already started the tricycle. He just smiled at him and drove away on the tricycle.

Looking at the back of the tricycle, squad leader Wang smiled, shook his head and said, "This kid is becoming more and more disrespectful."

"Master Wang, you didn't really forget to go to bed tonight, did you?" another chef asked jokingly.

"Go away, you forgot to go to bed."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"That's right, Master Wang. Don't be impatient."

"I think you guys are about to learn bad habits from Li Jiayi."

"Master Wang, Li Jiayi is a good kid, you can't frame him like this."

"That's right, Master Wang."

"I don't want to bother with you." After saying this, Master Wang shook his head and went in.

Li Jiayi hurried and finally returned home before dinner.

And at this time, it was already six o'clock.

After parking the tricycle, Li Jiayi returned to the house.

"Little brother, are you back? Are you cold?" the eldest sister came up and asked.

"It's not cold." Li Jiayi shook his head.

"Sit down and have some tea." After the eldest sister said this, she hurried to pour tea for Li Jiayi.

"Thank you, sister." Li Jiayi said as he sat down.

The eldest sister had already handed him the tea and asked, "Why are you back so late today?"

"I spent about two hours chatting with my grandparents, uncle and aunt at noon, so I came back late."

"So this is ah!"

"Jiayi, how is home?" asked the eldest cousin.

"Everything is fine at home! Your big pigs have been sold, and your uncle and aunt are at home now without any work."

"That's good." The eldest brother nodded.

"But brother, uncle and aunt also raised a lot of chickens and ducks! You will have a feast when you go home for the New Year this year."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, neither the eldest brother nor the second brother felt anything.

No matter how many chickens and ducks you raise at home, if you want to enjoy delicious food, it’s still here!

No matter how good the conditions at home are, they can't be as good as here.

This is not to say that they don't want to go back. To be honest, they have wanted to go home for a long time.

So we can only say that Li Jiayi missed the point.

"Oh! By the way, big sister, this ticket is for you. Please help me get the money back when you go to work tomorrow."

"Hmm!" The eldest sister took it, looked at it and said, "It's quite a lot this time!"

"It's quite a lot indeed."

"By the way, it's time to get your salary. Aren't you going to get your salary this time?"

"No, just bring it back for me."

"OK then."

Not to mention the wages prepared by the District Bureau, even the wages for the Fifth Steel Rolling Mill and the Hongye Iron and Steel Plant were collected when he delivered the materials there.

He would not make a special trip just to collect that little salary. In his words, it was not even enough to pay for the gas.

Soon my mother came in with the food, followed by my father.

"Mom and Dad."

"Well! Are you cold?" asked my mother.

"not cold!"

"Son, when the weather gets colder, will you go back to pack up your things?" Mom asked again.

"Harvest it! Why not? As long as it doesn't snow, I'll keep harvesting it."

Li Jiayi went back to Lijia Village to collect things, not to complete his mission, because his mission did not require collecting supplies to be completed.

The main reason he did this was to help Lijia Village.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be good for him to just sleep at home every day? Why would he make this trip?

"Oh! By the way, is today's wedding lively?" Li Jiayi asked with shining eyes.

"It's quite lively. Many people came to the machine repair shop."

"Oh! It's a pity that I didn't catch up." Li Jiayi said helplessly.

"If you can't make it, then you can't make it! Oh! By the way, your uncle Nan gave me the money for the ingredients. I'll give it to you later."

"Mom, no need, just keep the money!"

"Okay!" Ye Xin did not refuse. It was not that she wanted to stay, but she knew that her son would not even consider this little bit of money.

"By the way, are all of Aunt Liang's four children here?"

"Of course!" The second sister took over and said, "Especially the little girl named Xiu'er is so cute."

Hearing what his second sister said, Li Jiayi said, "Let's eat first! I'll go over and take a look later."

"Ok!"

Then, with the help of my eldest sister and eldest brother, the food was quickly put on the table. Tonight's meal was particularly sumptuous.

"Cheng Qian!" Li Aimin shouted.

"Okay uncle, I'll go get some wine right away." The eldest brother stood up and ran out with three wine glasses.

Li Jiayi glanced at his father, then at his elder brother's back, and thought: Is it so complicated now?

One only needs to call the name, without even saying what to do.

The other one only knows what to do when he hears his name being called.

"In that case, I have prepared some things as well." After saying that, Li Jiayi ran upstairs.

The second sister's eyes lit up and she hurriedly followed him, but unfortunately she was locked outside before she could enter the house.

If she hadn't stopped in a hurry, she would have been hit on the nose by the door.

"Humph!"

This was all she could do to vent her dissatisfaction, and she then turned and walked downstairs.

Just as she turned around and took a few steps, Li Jiayi opened the door with a few bottles of red wine in his hand.

These bottles of red wine are particularly famous in later generations: Lafite, Screaming Eagle, and Romanee-Conti.

"Hey, second sister, why are you here?"

"You brat, just wait for me."

Li Jiayi touched his nose innocently and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

This is really not Li Jiayi's fault! Because he didn't even know that his second sister was following him.

After coming downstairs, Li Jia handed Ye Xin a handful of red wine and said, "Mom, drink this."

"Is this wine?" Ye Xin asked.

"You can say that, but this is red wine, drinking it is good for your health." After saying that, Li Jiayi took out a corkscrew and opened a bottle of Romanee-Conti.

Li Jiayi has never been stingy with his family members. Not to mention a bottle of wine, he would be willing to give away even the most valuable things.

Although this thing will be very valuable in the future, does he need that little money?

Besides, other people spend so much money to buy it and drink it anyway. So why can’t my mother drink it?

"Thank you son."

"You're welcome."

After Li Jiayi finished speaking, he poured a cup for his mother, about three taels.

"Brother, give me some to try."

"Go away! Wait until you are an adult. You can't drink now."

Li Jialin was speechless! I don't understand why you have to drink it when you are an adult.

"Sister, would you like some?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Sister is not an adult yet! Why can she drink?" Li Jialin asked Li Jiayi.

"Sis, you're almost an adult, so it's okay to drink less."

"you……"

Although she was very angry, Li Jialin had no choice.

He didn't dare lose his temper with Li Jiayi, especially when his parents were around.

Otherwise, he would be punished immediately. Even if he wasn’t punished, he probably wouldn’t be able to have a peaceful meal.

"I'd rather not drink it. Just some juice will be fine." said the eldest sister.

"All right!"

Just at this moment, the eldest brother came back with some wine and put the full glass in front of Li Aimin.

When he was about to put another glass in front of Ye Xin, he saw that there was already wine.

"Just put it aside! We'll divide it between us later."

"Okay uncle."

Today's meal is quite rich, with not only spare ribs, but also stewed chicken, braised pork and beef brisket stewed with tomatoes.

Although Li Jia's family is not short of these things, it is not very common for them to eat so much meat in one meal.

It's only once or twice a week at most. Usually there are three or four dishes, and two of them are vegetarian.

"Come on, eat quickly!"

Fortunately, there is a fireplace in the house, otherwise the food would have gotten cold after such a delay.

It’s different with a fireplace! It’s not as hot as when it was first brought in, but it’s not much different.

It took about half an hour for Li Jiayi to finally eat and drink his fill.

He stood up, wiped his mouth and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to visit Uncle Nan's house."

"Well! Go ahead! Come back soon."

Although Nan Yi was married, Liang Ladi was not married for the first time and had four children, so there was no wedding prank at night.

Li Jiayi came over just to take a look. After all, it was a bit unreasonable for him not to be at home for such a big event as Nan Yi's marriage.

You know, the reason why the two of them were able to get together so quickly was all because of Li Jiayi!
Maybe it's the butterfly effect! Without Nan Yi to go to the countryside to pick up sheep, Liang Ladi's four children are still there.

"Jia Yi is here, come in quickly."

The door of Nan Yi's house was not closed. You know, in this kind of weather, every household has installed door curtains.

The reason why Nan Yi's house has the door open is because he is getting married today. He will probably hang up the door curtain tomorrow!

Since the door is not closed, Nan Yi can of course see Li Jiayi when he comes over!

"Uncle Nan, Aunt Liang."

Hearing Li Jiayi call her Aunt Liang, Liang Ladi quickly asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Ate."

"You don't have to worry about him. Anyone can go hungry, but this kid never will." Nan Yi said.

"Sit down now."

"Okay Aunt Liang."

"Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao, Xiu'er, come here and call me brother."

"Brother Jiayi!"

"Brother Jiayi!"

"..."

"Yeah!" Li Jiayi smiled and nodded.

Then he said to Nan Yi and Liang Ladi, "Uncle Nan, Aunt Liang, I'm really sorry. I had to go out for something today and couldn't attend your wedding."

"It's okay. I heard from Nan Yi that you went out early in the morning."

"Ok!"

"I say, little guy, things are different now than before. Before you could call her Aunt Liang, but now you have to call her Aunt." Nan Yi said.

"Uh!"

Liang Ladi glared at Nan Yi and said, "Don't pay attention to him, just call me aunt."

"Okay, Aunt Liang." Li Jiayi touched his nose and shouted.

Li Jiayi's calling her Aunt Liang made Nan Yi realize that it would be difficult to change his ways in the future.

After staying for about ten minutes, Li Jiayi left.

The first reason is that Nan Yi’s house is too cold.

The second reason is that Nan Yi just got married today! He can’t delay her from entering the bridal chamber!

Fortunately, Nan Yi's family has three houses, which can be said to be fully equipped for living.

Xiu'er is still young and can live in the same room with her brother.

When he got home, the tea was already brewed. Li Jiayi picked it up and poured himself a cup.

"Son, you're back so soon?" Li Aimin asked.

"Uncle Nan's house is too cold."

"It's normal. He's getting married today. You can't block the door!" Li Aimin nodded.

After drinking tea for a while, Li Jiayi went upstairs to rest. Of course, the family members did the same because they had to go to work tomorrow!

After returning to the room, Li Jiayi locked the door and went straight into the space.

I went through the daily routine first, and then went to pick a lot of Ganoderma lucidum and saffron.

Then I took a shower and went to bed.

Yes, we didn’t have a sauna at home today. It’s not particularly cold now, so there’s no need to have a sauna every day.

Silent all night.

At around five o'clock the next morning, Li Jiayi opened his eyes, got up from bed, and went to the yard to practice boxing.

An hour and a half later, Li Jiayi, who was sweating all over, first drank a glass of spiritual spring water to replenish his energy, and then brushed his teeth and washed his face.

Finally, I took a shower, changed clothes and then came out of the space.

When he came downstairs, it was exactly seven o'clock in the morning, and his eldest sister, second sister and cousin were all up.

"Brother Jiayi."

"Yeah!" Li Jiayi rubbed his cousin's head.

"Little brother, are you going to school today?"

Li Jiayi thought about it and thought that he didn't have anything to do today, so he said, "We should go!"

"The holidays are not far away, so try not to skip school," said the eldest sister.

"I understand, sister."

At this time, the second sister curled her lips and said, "It would be strange if he didn't skip school."

"That's all because of you. There's no more snacks for this week."

"Ah! Don't do that! Brother, can you just pretend that I didn't say anything?" Li Jialin said with her hands clasped together.

"But you've already said it, and Big Sister and Jiafen heard it."

"Then the second sister is wrong."

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. If it happens again, I'll stop giving you snacks for a month."

"Yeah! There definitely won't be a next time."

Hearing his second sister say this, Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at her.

Li Jiayi knew exactly what kind of person his second sister was.

I guess she'll have it again within a day.

Soon the eldest and second brothers came over, and breakfast was ready, so the family started to eat breakfast.

After dinner, Li Jiayi and his second sister rode their bicycles to school.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to really come to school today?" Li Jialin said on the way.

"Is it weird that I came to school?"

"Isn't it strange? How long have you not been to school?"

"Sister, are you mentally ill? I'm still in school on Saturday!"

"Uh! Really?"

"I don't want to bother with you. Did you forget that we were going home together on Saturday?"

"forget."

"All right!"

Since she said so, what else could Li Jiayi say?

"But brother, you have indeed been skipping classes quite a lot recently."

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Do you think I'm willing to do that? Teacher Wang insisted on finding some information for me to translate. What am I waiting for if I don't skip school?"

"Ah! Aren't you going to stop translating?"

Li Jiayi said helplessly: "Maybe Teacher Wang saw that I had nothing to do, so he found something for me to do."

"I see! I was wondering why you kept skipping school recently, and it turns out it's because of this."

"What else do you think it was because of?" Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at his second sister.

During this period, Li Jiayi had nothing to do. He delivered things to several factories at least once every two weeks.

So he didn't have any reason to skip school. In the past, at most he would skip classes for one or two days when he needed to deliver something.

He usually goes to school obediently. Although he basically sleeps on his desk when he gets to school, he still comes to school.

I don't know what's wrong with Teacher Wang, but he wants him to find some information for translation. Li Jiayi really doesn't want to do this, so he can only skip school.

It is very troublesome to translate materials outside, and if he translates them in the space, it will delay his sleep time.

He agreed to Teacher Wang's request because he wanted to make some visible money, but he doesn't need visible money now!
Under such circumstances, how could Li Jiayi still do it?

"Oh! When can I go to work and earn money?" the second sister sighed.

"Second sister, your Russian is not bad, how about I talk to Teacher Wang and ask you to translate?"
