Chapter 361: 1 piece of news, a big surprise
Chapter 361 A piece of news, a big surprise
But there is no need to rush for now. You know, it’s not easy to find a job for Lin Linger!
Although she was fine, her identity was still a problem.
Lin Ling'er quickly prepared the meals: stir-fried pork with garlic chives and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It seems that for people who have just learned to cook, scrambled eggs with tomatoes is the most common dish, and basically everyone who has just learned to cook can do it.
Lin Ling'er didn't make rice, but steamed buns. But that was fine as there were only two of them having lunch.
"Try it and see if it tastes good." Lin Ling'er looked at Li Jiayi coquettishly and said.
"Okay, I'll try it and see if your cooking skills have improved in the past period of time." Li Jiayi picked up a steamed bun and put an egg in it.
After trying it, what can I say! For someone who has only been learning cooking for a while, the requirements cannot be too high.
"Well! Very good, there has been progress." Li Jia nodded.
"Really?"
"real."
"Great, then you should eat more. You must not have eaten well during this period."
Lin Ling'er was totally wrong to think so. Li Jiayi had been eating very well during this period.
Because he basically eats in the space, and there is nothing in his space!
Plus, Li Jiayi’s cooking skills were not bad, so he had delicious food and drinks every day.
Sometimes I even have a few drinks. Although drinking alone is boring, there is nothing I can do about it!
"You eat too."
"Ok!"
There were only two dishes, and the meal was finished quickly, and all the dishes were eaten up cleanly.
After finishing her meal, Lin Ling'er quickly cleared the table and went to the kitchen to clean up.
Li Jiayi first added some firewood to the fireplace and then made a pot of tea.
Just at this time, Lin Ling'er also cleaned up the kitchen.
Seeing Lin Linger sitting down and pouring herself a cup of tea, Li Jiayi asked, "Aren't you going to write a letter?"
"Write it in the evening. There's no rush now."
"That's true. Anyway, I can't send it out today."
"Ok!"
Lin Linger took a sip of tea, then held the cup with both hands and said, "Tell me about my parents and my brothers and sisters."
"Okay, then I'll tell you, first..."
Li Jiayi told everything he knew, including what he saw, from beginning to end.
He did not report only good news and not bad news, nor did he add anything. He just told the truth.
Because there is no need, let's put it this way! With the Lingquan wine he sent over, as long as I drink a little every day, even if I still don't eat enough like before, my body will not collapse.
By the time Li Jiayi finished speaking, it was already past three in the afternoon.
"Thank you."
"Okay, why are you being so polite to me? You are my wife." Li Jiayi said with a smile.
"Yes! I know. I'm thanking you on behalf of my parents, brothers and sisters."
"No need, no need, we are all family."
"By the way, the subdistrict office came to our hospital to inform us that there seem to be people in our hospital who are of the right age to go to the countryside."
"So fast?"
If Li Jiayi remembered correctly, it didn't seem to be that fast.
"Why so fast?" Lin Ling'er asked in confusion.
"Oh! Nothing!" Li Jiayi quickly covered it up.
"Build the motherland on your own initiative."
"All right!"
Hearing Lin Ling'er say this, Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no deviation.
It’s still entirely voluntary now. This has been in place for a long time, but the publicity may be more vigorous now.
"Is there anyone from our school who has signed up?"
"I don't know." Lin Ling'er shook her head.
"Forget it, this has nothing to do with our family, and it's not something we can worry about."
Everyone in Li Jia's family has a job. Although Lin Ling'er doesn't have a job, she is married.
There is no need to go to the countryside if you are married.
At around five in the evening, when his family members come home from get off work, his house becomes lively.
In order to ensure Li Jiayi's safe return from his business trip, He Yuzhu was specially called over to cook.
Because Li Jiayi likes spicy food! And the Sichuan cuisine made by He Yuzhu is more suitable.
The next morning after breakfast, Li Jiayi came out of home with four letters.
Letters to Lin Ling'er's elder brother, second brother and elder sister can be sent directly to them. Letters to her parents should be sent to Director Wu and asked to pass them on.
After sending the letter, Li Jiayi had nothing to do, so he planned to visit his master's house.
The jeep soon stopped at the door of the master's house. Li Jiayi got out of the jeep with some meat and pork fat in his hands.
He arrived at the door, pushed it, locked it from the inside, and then he picked up the door knocker and knocked it a few times.
"Here it comes." The master's voice came from inside.
Soon the door opened and Li Shugen appeared in front of him.
"Master, why do you keep the door locked at home?"
"What do you know, little brat? I just find it troublesome."
"Uh! All right."
After Li Jiayi came in, Li Shugen locked the door again and asked, "Why did you come here today?"
"I just came back from abroad, so I came to see you!"
"Back from out of town? Did you go out of town?"
"Uh!" Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Didn't I tell you?"
"When did you tell me?" Li Shugen asked speechlessly.
"Okay! Maybe I forgot. Oh, my master's wife isn't here?"
"Nonsense, it's working hours now, how could your mistress be here?"
"All right!"
"Do you have something to do?" Li Shugen asked.
"Nothing, just went to see my father-in-law."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Shugen glanced at him and said, "Take it easy, kid."
"Don't worry, Master. I know what's going on."
"That's good."
"By the way, Master, is Junior Sister satisfied with her work?"
Yes, it was Li Jiayi who arranged the job for my junior sister. It was not in the woolen mill, but in the bakery.
It’s not that I can’t arrange to work at the woolen mill, it’s just that the distance is a bit far, while the bakery is closer to my master’s home.
"Very good! She seems very happy every day, so she should be quite satisfied."
"Okay then!" Li Jiayi heaved a sigh of relief. Let's put it this way! If this was a senior sister, Li Jiayi would never do this, but this is a child brought over by the master's wife, the situation is different.
After chatting with his master for more than an hour, Li Jiayi left.
However, he did not go home or to the factory, but went to Liulichang.
Yes, Liulichang is very deserted now. All the antique shops are closed, but there are a few places that are still open.
One of them is the Trust Antique Shop, a purely state-owned store.
In this situation, the Trust Antique Shop has a lot of antiques, so he plans to go over and take a look.
In less than twenty minutes, Li Jiayi drove the car here, found a place to park the car, and went in.
Li Jiayi was speechless when he saw that many shops that used to be very busy were now closed.
A few minutes later, Li Jiayi arrived at the Trust Antique Shop. It was quite lively here with many people coming in and out.
But these people are here to sell antiques, or have them sold through antique shops.
Yes, at this time, not many people are stupid enough to buy antiques. Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
Li Jiayi also followed others in. When he got inside, he found that there were quite a few antiques on the antique display cabinet, but they were all ordinary goods.
This made Li Jiayi speechless. Shouldn't there be a lot of good things at this time!
But when I think about the nature of the trust antique shop, I think this is normal.
Because the trust antique shop is originally a place to collect cultural relics for the country, the good things will definitely not be sold!
The things that can be sold are definitely ordinary ones.
"Master Li!"
"Uh! Master Wu, you are here too?"
Yes, I just took a look and met Mr. Wu. I guess he had the same plan as Li Jiayi.
"I just got here too. Are you here to see antiques?" asked Mr. Wu.
"Yes, why, you're not."
"Master Li, you must be joking. How could I come here to look at antiques? I have some antiques that I want to sell, so I came here to take a look."
"Oh! I see."
Li Jiayi thought that Mr. Wu was the same as him, but he didn't expect that he was not.
That’s right, there probably aren’t many people buying antiques at this time.
Actually, it's not a lot! Twenty is not even enough. Who dares to buy this thing at this time? That would only make things difficult for yourself.
"Master Li, let's go and talk outside." Master Wu had already seen that Li Jiayi came to see the antiques, but he didn't like any of them.
"Okay, let's go out and talk."
The two men came outside, and Master Wu looked around and said, "Master Li, are you here to collect the goods?"
"I did have this plan, but I'm very disappointed." Li Jiayi shook his head and said.
"That's normal. The good ones have definitely been put away. The ones displayed outside are just ordinary goods."
"What's the matter? Master Wu, do you have something unusual to sell?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Indeed, a little, but this is not the most important thing." Uncle Wu looked at Li Jiayi and said.
"Oh! What's more important?" Li Jiayi asked in confusion.
"It's like this. Some old brothers are going out and have a lot of things to deal with. I wonder if Master Li has any intention of doing so."
Hearing what Master Wu said, Li Jiayi's eyes lit up and asked, "What do you want to deal with?"
"That's a lot. It depends on what Master Li likes!"
Li Jiayi was itching inside! He liked everything!
"Master Wu, as you know, I have good teeth, so I'm not picky. As long as I like it, it's fine."
"The house, the antiques, and some old furniture, I wonder if Master Li can eat them?"
"Master Wu, you're wrong to say that. Although I'm not picky, I still have to see how many there are!"
"Yes, yes, this is my fault. I didn't explain it clearly. As of now, five or six old brothers are leaving. They have more than a dozen houses and a lot of antiques, but they want yellow goods."
"Big or small yellow croaker?"
"Yes, big or small yellow croakers are fine, as long as they are yellow croakers," said Grandpa Wu.
"That's no problem. You know I don't lack these." Li Jiayi said indifferently.
Master Wu shrugged and said, "Of course I know you don't need these, otherwise I wouldn't tell you."
"So are they planning to attack as a whole or one by one?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Of course we should attack as a whole. This way it will be faster and they will be more anxious."
Especially when talking about urgency, Mr. Wu emphasized his tone.
This ordinary person might not be able to hear anything, but who is Li Jiayi? How could he not hear it?
"Master Wu, how about this! You help me pull the strings. Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain."
"No, no, this is also because my old brother asked me for help, otherwise I wouldn't care about these things."
"It doesn't matter. I don't need that much. So, Master Wu, please help me ask around. If there is anyone who wants to make a move, please help me take a look."
"Of course that's no problem!"
Li Jiayi is not just doing this for himself. Don't forget, he has more than thirty brothers.
Li Jiayi had already planned to help all his brothers get a house within ten years.
Now is the right time.
Of course, he needs it too.
"By the way, Master Wu, do you have the title deeds and property deeds for these houses? I don't want them without them."
Are you kidding? Without the land deed and the house deed, it would be like buying it for someone else. He would never do such a stupid thing.
Of course, we have all the land deeds and house deeds.
"That's good. If there are both land deeds and house deeds, I can take them all. I can even take as many as I can get."
"Okay! Well, I'll go back and confirm it today. If you have time tomorrow, you can come to my house and we can talk slowly."
"Okay, I don't have anything to do these days. I'll go to your house tomorrow at noon."
"can."
After confirming the time, Li Jiayi did not stay in Liulichang for long, as he would not be able to find any good stuff here anyway.
In that case, I might as well go home and wait until tomorrow to see what's going on.
This was the beginning of the ten-year period, and many people went abroad at this time.
There may be more and more in the future, and this is also a good time for Li Jiayi.
At the very least, he can buy a lot of houses. If these houses are already occupied, he won't care. If no one lives there, he will find a way to rent the houses to the street office and collect a small amount of rent.
Then it is rented out in the name of the street office. It is impossible to leave the house empty, and it is not allowed. In any case, don't even think about it before the reform and opening up.
After the reform and opening up, he can take the land deeds and house deeds to collect the houses, and then these houses will be his personally.
Not to mention that you can collect some rent, it’s okay even if you let people live there for free.
As for whether you are worried about not being able to get the house back in the future, this is completely unnecessary. How can you not get your own house back?
When Li Jiayi got home, Lin Ling'er was cooking. When she saw him come back, she hurried out of the kitchen.
"You're back? Why are you back so late?"
When Li Jiayi went out, he just said that he was going to mail a letter and didn't say he was going anywhere else, so Lin Linger asked this.
"I went to my master's house, and then went to see my friends."
"Is that so? Then come in! The food will be ready soon."
