Chapter 366: No more room for advancement, reunion
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said, "It's a big house, but it's not a big house in the city."
"Oh!"
"By the way, brother and sister-in-law, there is one thing I forgot to tell you." Li Jiayi said while driving.
"what's up?"
"I have already taken my parents over. From now on, you, your eldest sister-in-law, your second brother, and your elder sister will all live with them."
"What! You brought your parents back?" the eldest brother asked in shock.
Not only the eldest brother, but also the eldest sister-in-law is the same. Others don’t know what’s going on, but they know it very well!
They knew that Li Jiayi had great power, but they didn't expect it to be so great.
"Yes, big brother. After I send you back, I will go pick up my second brother and the others."
"Plus one! I don't know what to say, thank you!"
"Brother, what are you doing? This is what I should do, and Ling'er doesn't know yet! I plan to take you all back and give her a surprise."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the eldest brother and his wife looked at each other, and the eldest brother asked, "Are you sure this is a surprise and not a shock?"
"Ugh! What do you mean?"
"Nothing, just do as you say!"
The eldest brother-in-law and his wife could already imagine how Lin Ling'er would look when she saw them.
It took Li Jiayi more than a day to drive the jeep back to the imperial capital.
However, Li Jiayi did not go into the city, but went directly to Lijia Village.
When we arrived at Lijia Village, we saw that the vacant land on the east side of my grandfather's house was bustling with activity.
Some people were digging the foundation, while others were supporting the house. Although it was an adobe house, the lower part was still made of bricks.
There is no way, adobe cannot withstand being soaked by rain, so bricks are still needed underneath.
At least the foundation and one-third of the walls must be built with bricks.
As for why Li Jiayi didn't just build a brick and tile house, it was not that he didn't want to, but he just didn't want to be different.
Because up to now, there is no house in the entire Lijia Village that is made entirely of bricks and tiles. In this case, he certainly cannot do this.
Besides, adobe houses are good, warm in winter and cool in summer.
In fact, the reason why people in Lijia Village do not build brick and tile houses is not because they cannot afford it. Nowadays, any family in Lijia Village can be considered rich if they go to other villages.
The reason why everyone doesn’t build it is, again, to keep a low profile. Besides, isn’t it better to keep the money in hand?
Now everyone has enough food and clothing, and life is getting better day by day, so there is no need to cause trouble for yourself.
"Brother-in-law, is this Lijia Village?" asked the eldest brother-in-law.
"Yes, do you see that place? That's where you and your parents will live in the future." Li Jiayi said, pointing to the construction site.
"Uh-huh!"
Soon Li Jiayi drove the jeep to his grandfather's house.
As soon as the jeep stopped, my father-in-law and mother-in-law ran out of the yard.
They must have heard the engine sound, and they also knew why Li Jiayi went out this time! How could he not come out?
"Dad, Mom!" my uncle shouted, and his eyes turned red instantly.
"Hey! I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back."
"Dad, Mom!" The eldest sister-in-law also shouted and came over.
The mother-in-law quickly let go of her brother-in-law, went up to hold her daughter-in-law's hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"Mom, it's not hard."
After the eldest sister-in-law finished speaking, she quickly called the two little ones over and said, "Call grandpa and grandma quickly."
"grandparents!"
"Oh! Good, you've grown so big." The father-in-law and the mother-in-law quickly picked up the two little ones in their hands.
When they separated, the two little ones were five and seven years old. When they met again, they were seven and nine years old. Of course, they had changed a lot.
"Mom and Dad, let's go in first!" Li Jiayi said at this time.
"Yes, yes, yes, come in first. You must be tired after the journey," asked the mother-in-law, looking at Li Jiayi.
"It's not tiring. We just drive and don't have to walk." Li Jiayi said with a smile.
After entering the house, his father-in-law and his family were talking to each other from the bottom of their hearts, and Li Jiayi came out of the house tactfully.
He was accompanied by his grandparents and aunt.
Grandpa went to the construction site on the east side, while grandma and aunt went to the kitchen to prepare some food.
Li Jiayi also followed his grandfather to the construction site to take a look. The land was very large, so the house being built was certainly not small.
Li Jiayi took a look at the area and found that it was more than twice the size of where his grandfather lived now.
After looking at the foundation, I realized that they were going to build seven rooms! Yes, if they built fewer, there really wouldn't be enough space for this large family.
There are seven rooms, one of which is the main room, which is also the living room, and the remaining rooms are six.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law occupy one room, the eldest brother and his wife occupy one room, the second brother and his wife, and the sister and brother-in-law each occupy one room.
In this case, we will have to occupy four rooms. Don’t forget, my eldest brother and his wife, my second brother and his wife, and my sister and her husband all have children!
Therefore, not only seven main rooms need to be built, but also several side rooms.
It’s okay now, but in a few years when the children grow up, it will be impossible for several people to live in one room.
"Grandpa, isn't this building a little too big?" Li Jiayi asked.
Because there are only three residential plots in the village, and this one has seven, which is more than twice the size of a normal residential plot.
"It's okay. This is a special grant from the village. No one will say anything."
"OK then!"
Li Jiayi felt relieved when he heard that it was a special approval. Besides, with his current reputation in Lijia Village, he estimated that no one would say anything.
After a while, the old lady came over and called him to eat. Li Jiayi was indeed a little hungry, so he hurried back.
At this time, my father-in-law and his family had finished their chat and were sitting at the table waiting for dinner.
"Jiayi is back, please sit down and have a rest." Mother-in-law said hurriedly when she saw him come in.
The mother-in-law likes her son-in-law Li Jiayi more and more.
"Okay mom!"
At this time, grandma came in with a porcelain basin, which of course contained food.
Because there were so many people, grandma directly stewed two chickens. And in order to let them eat earlier, she didn’t prepare too many dishes, just this one.
"You must be hungry! Eat quickly." Grandma put down the porcelain basin and said.
"Thank you, old aunt." My father-in-law quickly stood up and said.
"No, we are all family, this is not allowed."
"Yes Yes Yes."
After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi left. It was still early and he could drive some distance.
In this way, I can reach my second uncle's place before the night of the day after tomorrow, otherwise I can only arrive the day after tomorrow.
In order to finish the work as soon as possible, Li Jiayi didn't even have time to rest.
If it is done early, my daughter-in-law can reunite with her family sooner.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week passed, and both my second uncle and sister's families were taken back by Li Jiayi.
Of course, Li Jiayi also paid a price, especially his second uncle. The price of bringing him back was more than that of his eldest brother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law combined.
But it didn’t matter to Li Jiayi, as long as he let the person go.
Because the house would take a long time to build, my second uncle's family was arranged to live in someone else's house. My eldest sister-in-law's family was temporarily arranged to live in my eldest uncle's house. This was the only way for the time being until the house was ready for occupancy.
Li Jiayi was very happy to see the family reunited. He drove to the city without even eating.
Yes, he wants to bring his daughter-in-law over and reunite her with her family.
When he returned to the city, it was already dark and his family had already eaten.
Fortunately, he was well prepared and stopped for a while to eat something in the space before entering the city.
The meal was over, but the family did not rest. They were still in the main room, drinking tea with the fan on.
At the same time, I was waiting in line to take a shower.
It’s summer now! I can’t fall asleep without taking a shower every day, because I always feel sticky after a busy day.
"Is my son back?" Mother asked hurriedly when she saw Li Jiayi coming in.
"Yes mom!"
"You kid, every business trip takes such a long time." Mom said helplessly.
"I can't help it! I'm a buyer, and it takes time to go out and buy things."
After Li Jiayi said this, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Linger who was sitting there looking at him.
Lin Linger really wanted to come up at this time, but seeing her mother-in-law was talking to her husband, she could only wait.
Before his mother could say anything else, Li Jiayi said quickly, "Mom, I just got back. I'll go upstairs and take a shower first, and then I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, let's go!"
After getting his mother's permission, Li Jiayi hurried upstairs.
Just as Li Jiayi went upstairs, Lin Linger also quietly stood up and followed him upstairs.
"You're back?" After Lin Ling'er came in, she went up to hug Li Jiayi and asked with her head raised.
"Well! Did you miss me?" Li Jiayi asked while hugging Lin Ling'er.
"think."
"Just think of me. Okay, I'm going to take a shower first, and we'll talk later."
"Ok!"
"By the way, I'm going to Lijia Village tomorrow. You can come with me!"
"Okay! I haven't visited my grandparents for a while, and I just missed them."
"Yeah! That's why I plan to take you there!"
After chatting for a few more words, Li Jiayi went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Li Jiayi is not afraid of cold, so he can take a shower in the bathroom, but Lin Ling'er can't!
Seeing Li Jiayi enter the bathroom, Lin Linger hurried downstairs and waited to take a shower.
Mom is really considerate! When she saw her daughter-in-law coming down, she immediately put Lin Linger in the front.
"Thank you, Mom!" Lin Ling'er thanked in a low voice.
"Thank you for everything, we are all one family."
"Ok!"
Li Jiayi entered the bathroom, but he did not wash in the bathroom, but entered the space.
Because not only does he have to take a shower, he also has to go through his daily routine and then brush his teeth and wash his face.
When Li Jiayi came out of the bathroom, Lin Linger just came in after taking a shower.
Lin Linger turned on the electric fan in the room, then sat on the bed, wiping her hair with a towel, and asked, "Did you complete the mission smoothly this time?"
"It went smoothly and the mission was successfully completed."
"That's good!"
"I heard from my parents that you seem to be upgrading again."
"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment.
He hasn't been promoted for almost two years. It's not because he is not qualified, but because he has almost run out of room for promotion.
The reason why it has not been upgraded in the past two years can be said to be that it has been suppressed.
There is no way, he is only 20 years old! If he is promoted again, he will be the 12th level deputy department level, although it is the lowest level of deputy department, but it is still a deputy department!
Let me put it this way! With this level, it would be no problem for him to be the director of the second, third or fifth steel rolling mill.
Of course, this only refers to the level.
In fact, Li Jiayi is just a figurehead. He has the rank but no real power.
For example, even though he has been promoted, he is still the deputy section chief of the third purchasing section and the deputy director of the logistics department.
At most, a deputy hall will be added in the brackets at the end, and there will be no change.
"What, you don't know?"
"I don't know! I just came back and haven't even been to the factory yet, how can I know?"
"Okay! You're the only one who's so careless that you don't even care about getting a promotion."
"Why should I care? It should have been promoted a long time ago, it's just been suppressed. Otherwise, maybe in a few years, there will be no more room for promotion."
"Okay!" Lin Ling'er thought about it and realized it was true.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to bed early because we have to get up early tomorrow." Li Jiayi said.
"Ok!"
Silent all night.
The next morning, Li Jiayi got up very early. He couldn't sleep because something was on his mind.
After getting up, Li Jiayi began to pack his things, mainly Lin Linger's clothes.
This time, Lin Ling'er will definitely stay there for a while, so of course I have to pack some extra clothes for her to take with her.
When Lin Linger woke up, she saw Li Jiayi packing her clothes and asked, "Why did you take so many of my clothes?"
"I plan to stay in my hometown for a while this time, so I packed some clothes for you."
"Stay for a while?"
"Yes."
"Why are they all my clothes? Why don't you take them?"
"Yes, a lot of my clothes are in the car, so I don't need to pack them from home."
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Lin Linger thought about it and realized it was true. Li Jiayi was on a business trip for more than half a month, so how could he not have clothes in the car.
There were indeed clothes in Li Jiayi's car, but they were just used to conceal their identities.
There is a box in the trunk, but there are only a few pieces of clothes in it. The clothes that are actually worn are placed in the space.
"Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face! Let's go after breakfast, or we'll miss lunch."
What Li Jiayi said was nonsense. It would only take more than two hours to drive a jeep from here to Lijia Village.
Don’t even think about setting off right after breakfast. Even if you set off at ten o’clock, you won’t be able to miss lunch time!
In fact, Li Jiayi just wanted his daughter-in-law to meet his father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law as soon as possible.
"Okay! I'll get up right away." After saying that, Lin Ling'er quickly took off her pajamas and started changing clothes.
At this time, Li Jiayi had already packed Lin Linger's clothes. There weren't many, just five or six sets of clothes.
After packing, Li Jiayi closed the suitcase and placed it on the desk beside the bed.
"I'll go downstairs and see if the meal is ready. You wash up first."
"it is good."
Li Jiayi came down from upstairs and saw his mother and elder sister cooking in the kitchen.
Yes, mom didn’t ask Lin Ling’er to help with cooking today because Li Jiayi just came back last night!
