Chapter 360: Finished, Back to the Capital

"Brother-in-law, this won't do. I can't accept this no matter what."

"Brother, listen to me. You and sister-in-law are here. I know what's going on. If you keep these banknotes, Ling'er and I will feel more at ease."

"This……"

"Okay, big brother, these things are nothing to me. If the conditions here were not allowed, I would like to bring you more things."

"No, no, these are enough."

"Then take these notes as well. This way Ling'er and I will feel at ease."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Lin Side thought for a moment and said, "Okay then! I'll take it."

"now it's right."

"By the way, brother-in-law, do you know where Sibo and Sisi are?" Lin Side asked.

The Sibo and Sisi he was referring to were of course Lin Linger's second brother and sister.

"I know! I was planning to go see them after I leave you!"

"Ah! You know all this?"

"Of course. When I asked, I asked about everything at once. How could I not know?"

"Thank you, brother-in-law. Although I don't know what the situation is with them, it shouldn't be easy."

"Alas! There is nothing we can do about it. But don't worry, brother. There is always a rainbow after the storm."

"Ok, I know."

"That's good, so stay here for a few years! I will also find a way."

"Thank you!"

"Don't be polite with me, big brother."

"I see."

The two chatted for a while, and then sister-in-law Xu Xi prepared the meal. Originally, they were just planning to make some cabbage porridge.

But Li Jiayi sent so many things, how could he let his brother-in-law eat cabbage porridge with him?

I fried some bacon, then some cabbage, and of course, fried peanuts.

Xu Xi also took the risk and baked a few oil-baked buns with white flour. There was no shortage of white flour, but there was a shortage of oil!
"Come on, brother-in-law, I'll give you a toast."

"And me." Sister-in-law Xu Xi also picked up the wine glass and said.

"Brother and sister-in-law, forget about the toast, let's toast together."

"Okay, touch one."

After a few drinks and a bite to eat, seeing the two little guys cowering, Li Jiayi quickly picked up some bacon for them.

"You are growing, so eat more meat."

"Why don't you thank your uncle-in-law quickly?" Xu Xi said.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Thank you, uncle."

Li Jiayi rubbed the two little guys' heads and said, "You're welcome."

"Brother, sister-in-law, do you need anything here? If you do, I will think of a solution tomorrow."

"We have everything. With these flour and bacon, we will live well in the coming year." Sister-in-law Xu Xi said quickly.

"Yes, brother-in-law, there are so many things, how could there be anything missing?" Lin Side also said quickly.

"Brother and sister-in-law, there's no need to be polite to me. I came here in a hurry, so some things are not fully prepared. Please see if there is anything missing and I will find a way."

"Brother-in-law, I really don't need anything. These are more than enough."

"OK then!"

Lin Side drank a lot today, at least 700 to 800 grams, but his alcohol tolerance is at most half a catty.

In other words, Lin Side drank too much.

He was drunk, but he had a good drinking tolerance. After drinking, he just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Li Jiayi also drank a lot, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, please take care of my brother. I will stay in the city first and come to see you tomorrow."

Sister-in-law Xu Xi knew the family situation very well, so she did not let Li Jiayi live at home because there was no place for them to live.

"Well! Then drive slowly."

"understood."

After leaving Leng Linside's house, everyone in the village had already rested, so Li Jiayi drove towards the city.

Luckily, this place was not far from the city, and there was no snow, so he arrived in the city in less than half an hour.

Of course, this was just entering the city.

He had no plan to go far, so he just found a hotel to stay in.

Li Jiayi had a letter of introduction and his own rank was not low, so he was able to get a single room.

Yes, it is not easy to live in a single room in this era. You have to reach a certain level, otherwise you can only live in a room with multiple people.

If you live in a slightly higher-class room, you can stay in a four-person room with two bunk beds.

If you are an ordinary person, the living conditions are even worse, basically you have to sleep in a large dormitory bed.

After paying the money, he came into the room with a thermos.

It was called a hotel, but it was not even an inn of the past two thousand years. There was only a bed, a washstand and a porcelain basin in the room.

There was a table and a chair at the head of the bed, and nothing else.

Li Jiayi brought over a thermos of water to conceal his whereabouts, so after entering the house, he locked the door from the inside and went directly into the space.

After arriving at the space, Li Jiayi first went through his daily routine, then washed up, took a shower, and went straight to bed.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Li Jiayi came out of the space, opened the door and went out.

I checked out of the room first and then came to the hotel yard.

He had already eaten in the space, so he had no plans to go out for dinner.

When he drove out and saw the state-owned breakfast shop, Li Jiayi thought about what his brother-in-law and his family needed.

Oil!

Parking the car in front of the breakfast shop, Li Jiayi shouted, "Give me two pounds of fried dough sticks and ten big buns."

"Okay." Looking at the national food coupons and money handed over by Li Jiayi, the dough stick fryer agreed.

He didn't buy the meat buns, and he had no choice because he didn't have the meat ticket here.

As for fried dough sticks, the national food coupons already include oil, so there is no need for separate coupons.

The master wrapped the buns and fried dough sticks in oil paper, gave the ticket and money, and Li Jiayi drove away.

When they were almost there, Li Jiayi took out about 30 kilograms of pork fat from the space, as well as two large jars of peanut oil.

After thinking about it, I took out some sesame salt and sesame paste, as well as a few chickens and ducks.

The chickens and ducks he took were alive! If they were kept, they could lay eggs.

Maybe they knew Li Jiayi would come today! Lin Side and Xu Xi did not go to work.

This doesn't matter. There is no difference between here and the countryside. You don't have to work, but you will have no income.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

"Come on, come in."

"Okay! Wait for me to get the things down." Li Jia nodded and said.

"You brought something again?" Lin Side asked after a moment of surprise.

"Yes, I brought some."

Just then, two little guys ran out of the house. Li Jiayi waved at them and said, "Come here."

"Little uncle."

"Here, this is for you." Li Jia handed over a handful of fried dough sticks and buns. Seeing the fried dough sticks, the two little girls swallowed their saliva. These are fried dough sticks!

Although I just ate bacon last night, fried dough sticks are still very tempting!

"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry to make you spend money again." said sister-in-law Xu Xi.

"Sister-in-law, this is such a waste of money!"

After Li Jiayi finished speaking, he opened the back door of the jeep and took out the pork fat.

Seeing the pork fat, not only Xu Xi, but even Lin Side didn't know what to say.

My brother-in-law is really capable. He just arrived at this place and is unfamiliar with the place, but he was able to get so much lard.

"Brother, take these in first. There are also some other things." Seeing Lin Side standing there in a daze, Li Jiayi said hurriedly.

"Oh! Okay."

Then Li added a handful of oil, sesame salt, sesame paste, and several kinds of chicken and duck.

"Brother-in-law, this... this is too much." Xu Xi even stuttered a little.

"Sister-in-law, these chickens and ducks can be raised to lay eggs and provide nutrition for the two children."

"Yes! Thank you, brother-in-law."

Li Jiayi didn't stay here for too long. He gave Lin Side a drink at noon and left in the afternoon.

Then he wrote himself a letter of introduction and went to his second brother.

I spent a week visiting my second uncle and eldest sister-in-law.

Similarly, each family sent 500 kilograms of flour, 500 kilograms of bacon, a few chickens and ducks, 30 kilograms of pork fat, two cans of peanut oil, sesame paste, and sesame salt.

Since we all have children, we also brought some snacks and White Rabbit milk candies.

In addition to these, there are various daily necessities.

Originally, Li Jiayi told Lin Ling'er that it would be a week faster and half a month slower, but when he left his sister-in-law, half a month had already passed.

Fortunately, I have visited everyone and delivered all the gifts. Now I just need to go back to the capital.

Two days later, Li Jiayi drove a jeep back to the capital, but he did not go home directly. Instead, he went to the factory first.

After all, the letter of introduction to Datong was issued by Director Qiao, so now that I'm back, I have to tell Director Qiao about it.

Li Jiayi's jeep was also registered at the woolen mill, so there was no need for inspection and he drove straight in.

After parking the jeep in front of the office building, Li Jiayi entered the building.

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

"Enter!"

"Director, I'm back." Li Jiayi said as he pushed open the door.

"You're so good at coming back! I thought you were missing and almost called the police."

Director Qiao was joking of course, but it can be seen that he really cares about Li Jiayi.

The main reason was that Li Jiayi was gone for a long time. Although the imperial capital is a bit far from Datong, with such a short distance, not a lot of things could be done in a week!

This is mainly because Director Qiao didn’t know that Li Jiayi had gone to other places.

"This has to be arranged! If it's not arranged, how can I come back?" Li Jiayi said helplessly.

"You kid!" Director Qiao shook his head, not knowing what to say.

"Is it going well?" asked Director Qiao.

"Don't worry, Director. It's going very smoothly."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Director Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as it goes well."

Others may not know what is going on, but Director Qiao must know! He is really worried that something might go wrong.

"Okay, you've been out for such a long time, go back and have a rest!" Seeing Li Jiayi's tired appearance, Director Qiao knew he was back and came straight over.

"Okay, director."

"By the way, take a good rest at home for a few days. There is nothing to do at the factory right now."

"Yeah! I understand."

What could possibly happen in the factories now? When he left, he prepared a month's supply for each factory.

Even if supplies are to be delivered, it will be ten days later, so that he can really have a good rest for a few days.

After coming out of the office building, Li Jiayi did not go to see his parents, as he could see them in the evening anyway.

When he got home, Lin Ling'er was sitting alone in the main room reading a book. When she saw him come back, she didn't react for a moment.

After reading for a long time and blinking, he put down the book, ran over and asked, "When did you come back?"

"just came back."

"Tired?"

Li Jiayi smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I don't have to walk. What's there to be tired about?"

"Did this business trip go well?"

Li Jiayi pulled Lin Ling'er to sit down and said, "I'm not on a business trip this time."

"Not on a business trip?"

"Yeah! Actually, I went to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as my eldest brother, second brother and sister."

"What? You...you mean..."

"Yes, the reason I didn't tell you was because I was afraid you would worry. You won't blame me, right?"

Lin Linger shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "No, I know you are doing this for my own good. How are my parents?"

"It's fine, and I've arranged for someone to take care of them, so don't worry."

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Ling'er didn't expect that Li Jiayi had done so much for her. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched.

"My eldest brother and the others..."

"They are all very good. I not only gave them white flour, but also a lot of bacon, pork fat and peanut oil."

"Thank you plus one."

"Okay, let's not be polite. They are not only your brothers and sisters, but also my brothers and sisters."

"Ok!"

"By the way, you can write a letter and I'll mail it to you later. I left in a hurry this time and forgot to bring some photos with me. When I send the letter, you can put a few photos with it."

There are a lot of photos at home, especially photos of Lin Ling'er, because they have a camera at home!
"Yes! I'll write the letter now." After saying that, he ran upstairs.

"Slow down, don't be in a hurry." Li Jiayi shook his head helplessly.

But he could also understand that if his parents were like this, he might be even worse than Lin Ling'er!

After watching Lin Linger go upstairs, Li Jiayi added some firewood to the fireplace and then went to make a pot of tea.

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Lin Ling'er came down from upstairs.

"Are you hungry? I'll go make you some food."

"Have you finished writing the letter?"

"No, I'll cook for you first, and then you can write in the afternoon after dinner." Lin Ling'er shook her head and said.

"Ok!"

Under the guidance of the three chefs, Lin Linger is now quite good at cooking.

I won’t say how delicious it is, but it’s definitely not bad.

Yes, if there are enough ingredients, it is very quick to learn how to cook.

Of course, Li Jiayi had no intention of letting Lin Ling'er be a housewife. He was trying to find a job for Lin Ling'er.

With a job, I won’t have random thoughts at ordinary times. When I’m working, I can also put aside my longing for my family.
