Chapter 359 Next Stop

Although it is a courtyard, there are only three main rooms, but there are two side rooms on the east and west sides.

After Director Wu pushed the bicycle in, Li Jiayi drove forward a little, then backed up with the rear of the jeep facing the gate.

This makes unloading more convenient, and most importantly, no one else can see you while you are unloading.

"This... so many things?" Mine Director Wu looked at Li Jiayi in shock.

Not to mention the white flour, ten bags in total, and the main thing is those pieces of bacon. Adding them together, there must be at least four or five hundred kilograms!
You know, even though he is the mine manager, his monthly ration is limited! The whole family can only eat meat twice a month at most.

And they can't eat as much as they want. The most they can eat is some meat. This amount of meat is probably enough for their family to eat for a lifetime.

"Director Wu, you can keep half of these things, and use the remaining half for my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Although Li Jiayi was just discussing something, what he said could not be questioned because he had the confidence to do so.

"Director Li, please rest assured about this."

"Yes! Oh! By the way, I brought two jars of wine this time, a total of 200 kilograms. If you want to drink some, you can, but you have to send half a kilogram to my father-in-law and mother-in-law every day."

"Ok."

After the things were unloaded, Li Jiayi also discussed with the mine manager Wu that there was no need to send anything at noon. Every night, he would send over a meat dish, three or four white flour buns, a portion of peanuts and half a pound of wine.

In this way, the things Li Jiayi sent over will be enough for half a year, and he can come and send them again after half a year.

In front of Director Wu, Li Jiayi wrote another letter to his father-in-law and mother-in-law and asked Director Wu to take it over.

As for the content of the letter, of course it said that there was no way they could meet again, at least not this time, and then he also wrote about the things he entrusted to the mine director Wu.

This is also a time when there is no other way. As of now, Li Jiayi has no way to take his father-in-law and mother-in-law away.

After all, it's just the beginning now. If it were a few years later, he would definitely have a way to bring the person back.

"Director Wu, I can't stay here for long. I'll leave my father-in-law and mother-in-law in your care."

"Please rest assured, Director Li, I will definitely do the job you tell me to do."

"Yes! I believe you." Li Jiayi nodded heavily.

There is no way to not believe it! For now, I can only choose to believe it.

Of course, Li Jiayi thought that he was pretty good at judging people, and that Director Wu didn't seem like the kind of person who didn't keep his word.

Besides, it’s not like he can’t see his father-in-law and mother-in-law anymore. They’ll know everything the next time they meet.

"Oh, Director Wu, here are 200 kilograms of national food coupons, and another 200 yuan for you to take."

Seeing the things Li Jiayi handed over, Mine Manager Wu asked in confusion: "What are you..."

"It's like this. If the food is gone and I can't get there in time, I'll use these to fill the gap."

It’s a pity that the meat coupons are not nationwide, otherwise Li Jiayi would have kept some.

"Is that so? Okay, I'll keep it for now. If I don't need it, I'll return it to you later."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi left, but he did not return to the city. Instead, he took a detour and rushed to Qinhuangdao.

Of course, he wrote the letter of introduction himself this time, because Lin Linger's brothers and sisters were in a different situation from her parents.

Her parents are working, while her brothers and sisters are undergoing re-education. Although they both have to work, the nature of their work is different.

Her brothers and sisters also get food and money for their work. It may not be much, but it is enough to support themselves.

Moreover, her brothers and sisters are all free. Except for not being able to leave that place, no one cares what they do.

To put it bluntly, it is the same as going to the countryside to receive re-education through labor, except that one is in the countryside and the other is on farms.

After work, you can also go to the commune or the county town to attend the market.

The distance from Datong to Qinhuangdao is not short! It is much farther than to the capital.

After Li Jiayi left, Director Wu's wife came over and said, "He has so many things. This guy is really capable!"

Hearing his wife say this, Director Wu glared at him and said, "Don't think about these things. Since you know he is capable, you should have thought about the consequences."

"I'm just talking, why are you so anxious?"

"Humph! Let me tell you, even though Director Li said that we can use these things, we can only use one third at most, and two thirds of them must be used on the father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"understood."

To be honest, mine manager Wu was also shocked by Li Jiayi's ability. In just one night, he managed to get 500 kilograms of flour, 500 kilograms of bacon, and even 200 kilograms of raw peanuts that were nowhere to be bought. Is this someone a mere mine manager like him could afford to offend?
As for the 200 kilograms of wine, as well as the quilts, bedding, sheets, quilt covers, cloths and various daily necessities, he didn't dare touch them at all.

Before, Li Jiayi told him that he would take care of the supplies. Mine Director Wu thought it would probably be just some food or something, but he never expected that it was not what he thought at all.

This guy is so capable, this isn't the imperial capital! It's not his territory, but he still managed to get these things, you can imagine how powerful he is.

If you ask him to do these things, he won't be able to do it in one night, let alone one month.

The main thing is that this is not used in mines, but for individuals. It will be useless even if you beg for help.

Also, these people were sent here in secret, but now they have come to us. You can imagine how much energy this requires.

It would be easy for such a person to deal with a small mine manager like him.

Thinking about the 18-year-old director-level official, Mine Director Wu felt a little frightened.

Because the distance was quite far, it took Li Jiayi three days to drive to Qinhuangdao.

When he arrived here, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon. He asked someone and found out that Brother Lin Ling'er was some distance away from where he was now.

But after thinking about it, Li Jiayi decided to go there now, because this place is different from the Red Star Coal Mine.

When Li Jiayi drove to the place, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost December!
At five o'clock, it was almost dark.

Li Jiayi drove the car directly into the village, which was a residence specially prepared for people working on the farm.

When the jeep came, it quickly attracted a lot of onlookers, because in this place, it is rare to see cars, let alone jeeps.

"Hello! May I ask where Lin Side lives?"

"Lin Side?"

"Yes." Li Jia nodded.

"The couple and their child live at the easternmost end." said a young man.

This young man is the same as Lin Side, and even everyone living here is the same as Lin Side.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Li Jiayi drove the jeep to the easternmost end. He thought it would be difficult to find, but when he got here he found that the easternmost end was really the easternmost end.

There are five rows of houses here, and he is now in the first row, the easternmost end of the first row.

Li Jiayi stopped the jeep, went up and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened and a woman in her thirties came out of the house.

"Who... who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, does Lin Side live here?"

"Yes, but he's out buying salt."

"Then you are Xu Xi's sister-in-law, right?" Hearing Li Jiayi calling her name, Xu Xi asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Hello, sister-in-law! My name is Li Jiayi."

"Li Jiayi? Are you Ling'er's friend?"

"Yes, you know me?"

"I heard Ling'er say that." After saying that, he finally reacted and asked quickly, "Why are you here? Ling'er is looking for you?"

"Sister-in-law, can we go in and talk about that?"

"Ah! Excuse me, please come in."

When I came into the house, I found that there were only two rooms, one was a living room and kitchen, and the other was a bedroom.

The fire was still burning on the stove in the kitchen, as if something was cooking. Needless to say, Xu Xi was cooking.

"Please take a seat." Xu Xi handed over a low stool and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a decent chair at home."

"It's okay, sister-in-law."

"mother."

Just at this moment, two children, a boy and a girl, ran out of the bedroom.

"This is Lin Cong and Lin Rong, right?" Li Jiayi asked, looking at the two children with a smile.

The two children seemed a little shy, and one of them held one of Xu Xi's legs. This was normal. For children who came here with their parents, this behavior was not surprising at all.

"Yes." Xu Xi nodded, and then said to the two children, "Call me uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

"Okay." Li Jiayi quickly opened his schoolbag, took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and handed them over.

The two children did not answer, but looked up at Xu Xi.

"My uncle gave it to me, take it!"

Lin Linger had told Xu Xi a lot about Li Jiayi, and knew that Li Jiayi had no shortage of these things, so she let the child continue.

Just at this moment, a young man ran in in a panic. When he saw the situation in the room, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jiayi stood up immediately and said to the young man, "This is my eldest brother, right?"

"May I ask you are?"

"Side, this is Li Jiayi, Ling'er's friend."

"Ling'er's friend?" Lin Side asked puzzledly.

It seems that Lin Linger has never mentioned Li Jiayi to this eldest brother before, which is normal. There are some things that you can tell your sister-in-law, but not your brother.

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Li Jiayi, and I am Ling'er's husband now."

"What, you...you married Ling'er?" Xu Xi asked in surprise.

The person who was most shocked was Lin Side, but before he could say anything, his wife asked first.

However, the two people's reactions were very different. Xu Xi was just surprised because she knew that Ling'er was interested in Li Jiayi.

"Yes, sister-in-law."

Originally, Lin Side wanted to say something, but thinking about the current situation of their family, this might be the best outcome for his sister!
"Please sit down." Lin Side said to Li Jiayi.

"Well! Thank you, brother."

After sitting down, Lin Side asked, "How did you find this place?"

"It's getting cold! Ling'er is worried about you, so I asked someone to find out about your parents and you."

"Have you heard about your parents?" Lin Side asked quickly.

"Yes, I just came from my parents' place."

"You went to see your parents. How are they? Are they healthy?"

"Brother, don't worry. Mom and Dad are fine. However, due to some special reasons, I can't see them like I did with you and sister-in-law, but I did meet them once, and I also asked someone to take care of them."

"That's good, that's good." Lin Side said with a sigh of relief.

"You haven't eaten yet! Wife, make more food. I want to have a drink with my brother-in-law tonight."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Wait sister-in-law, I brought you something, you should bring it in first."

It happened to be dark at this time. Someone was looking over here just now, but when they saw the person go into the house and didn't come out, no one looked at him anymore.

Li Jiayi brought his eldest brother out of the house and opened the back of the jeep.

The moment the back of the jeep opened, Lin Side took a breath and looked around quickly.

There were so many things, bags of flour and pieces of bacon.

Both of them knew it very well, so no one made any noise and they just moved straight into the house.

It took several trips to move all the things into the house.

At this time, Xu Xi was a little dumbfounded. There was too much of this thing. It might take a year to finish it.

"This...this is too much."

"Brother, sister-in-law, here are 500 kilograms of flour, 500 kilograms of bacon, 200 kilograms of raw peanuts, 200 kilograms of liquor, and some daily necessities, snacks, and White Rabbit candies."

"Brother-in-law! This is too much. Why don't you take some back or give it to my parents?"

"Brother, you should keep these things! I know a little bit about the situation here. As for my parents, don't worry about them. I have left so much for you."

"That's good, that's good. But how do we put so many things?" Lin Side asked worriedly.

"Brother, these are all bacon. Not to mention a year or two, even a year or two will be fine. The main thing is these noodles. They are fine now, but they will probably go bad when the weather gets hot."

“This is easy. Just steam them into buns and then dry them. They can be kept for a long time,” said Xu Xi.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Go cook. My brother-in-law and I will have a couple of drinks tonight."

"Oh! Okay."

After Xu Xi went to cook, Lin Side said awkwardly: "To be honest, brother-in-law, I was just thinking about what to treat you."

Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Brother, here we have something."

"Yeah."

"By the way, big brother, take these food coupons."

"No, no, no, we don't want these. You sent so much this time that we can't finish it in a year! You should take these food coupons back!"

"Brother, listen to me. These are national food coupons. There is no time limit. You can use them for emergencies when the time comes."

"But……"

"Don't worry, big brother. Here is also a universal bicycle ticket and 500 yuan. Keep them all. It will be more convenient for you to buy a bicycle later."
