Chapter 367 It's all worth it
"Are you up?" asked the mother who was cooking when she saw Li Jiayi coming.

"Ok!"

"Why don't you sleep more?"

"I'm awake now. After dinner I'm going to take Ling'er back to Li Village."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, my mother asked in surprise: "Why do you want to go back home at this time?"

"I haven't been back for a while, and I want to go back and take a look."

It’s not that Li Jiayi didn’t want to tell his mother, he was worried that after he told her, Lin Ling’er would know about it soon.

Normally, it wouldn't matter if Lin Ling'er knew about it at this point, it would definitely be a surprise. However, this surprise might make Lin Ling'er leave without even eating breakfast.

Even if I wanted to eat, I probably wouldn't be in the mood to eat. I would want to fly over there right away!

"Okay! It's true that you haven't been back for a while." Mom nodded.

"Ok!"

"By the way, after you come back from your grandma's house, you have to go to the factory."

"okay, I get it."

Needless to say, it must be a promotion. In the past, it only required notification, but now it is different.

Because when you reach the deputy director level, you are no longer an ordinary cadre! You must be present.

Moreover, at this level, you basically no longer have to accept your fate from the factory, but from your superiors.

When Lin Linger came down from upstairs, breakfast was just ready and the family sat at the octagonal table to eat breakfast.

Maybe he was really hungry! Li Jiayi ate a lot today, six steamed buns, two eggs, and two bowls of millet porridge.

After eating and drinking, Li Jiayi rubbed the reader's (belly) and said, "It's still more comfortable to eat at home."

"Okay, stop sighing. Aren't you going to your grandma's house? Let's go quickly." Mom patted him and said.

"Yes, yes, we need to leave quickly."

Li Jiayi went over, picked up the suitcase containing Lin Linger's clothes, and then walked out.

"Mom and Dad, we'll leave first." Lin Ling'er greeted them quickly.

"Go ahead! You can stay there for a few more days."

"Ok!"

When Lin Ling'er came out, Li Jiayi had already started the jeep and was waiting for him to come over.

"Let's go." Lin Ling'er said after entering the passenger seat.

"it is good."

A few minutes later, the jeep left the city from Deshengmen and soon arrived at the Gezishi intersection.

Looking at the people coming and going, Lin Linger said, "I didn't expect there are still so many people in Pigeon City now."

Li Jiayi glanced at the Pigeon City and said, "It's normal. No matter what time it is, there are always people who want to eat better."

In fact, there is one more thing Li Jiayi didn’t say, which is that no matter what time, there will always be people who don’t have enough to eat.

Exchange good things for ordinary things, such as exchanging fine grain coupons for coarse grain coupons or miscellaneous grain coupons.

Many people even took out their meat tickets and sold them.

Anyway, there is always business to be done in Pigeon Market no matter what time it is.

This is also the meaning of the existence of Pigeon City.

"You should come to this place often, right?" Lin Ling'er asked with a smile.

"I used to come here often, but I haven't been here for a long time recently."

Li Jiayi was telling the truth. In the past, he often came here to sell the supplies in the space.

But now he has no shortage of money, and he has no worries about not being able to sell his supplies, so he basically never comes here again.

“I’ve been here before.”

"You've been here too." Li Jiayi looked at Lin Ling'er in surprise.

Because in Li Jiayi's imagination, how could a young lady like Lin Ling'er come to such a place.

Even if they were to come, they would be the servants at home! You know, even during the three difficult years, Lin Linger did not dismiss the servants!
"Yes! My servant and I have been here before, and we have been here many times, but unfortunately we never bought anything every time we came."

"This is normal." Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "Not to mention you, even people who come to Pigeon City frequently sometimes can't buy the supplies they need."

"Yeah! I haven't been here since you delivered the supplies."

"All right!"

It turns out that Lin Linger was talking about the three difficult years, when it was even more impossible to buy supplies.

If he hadn’t come to sell pork, the entire Pigeon City might not even see a piece of pork, so how could it be possible to buy supplies?

The two of them talked all the way and arrived in Changping in about an hour.

Arriving here means you have walked most of the way. The rest of the road is worse, so although the road is shorter, the time taken is about the same.

"Aren't we going to bring something for Grandpa and Grandma?" Lin Ling'er asked hurriedly as she saw the jeep about to turn west.

Because if you turn west, you will be out of the county town! It will be difficult to buy anything afterwards.

"I've already brought it. When we get back to Liucun Commune, I can buy some peach cakes or something if I want." Li Jiayi said, pointing to the trunk.

"Ok."

Come to think of it! Li Jiayi never comes here empty-handed, so how could he not bring anything this time?

In fact, Li Jiayi really didn't bring anything. There was no need to bring meat now, as there was no shortage of meat in Lijia Village.

Not to mention food, so you should bring some cigarettes, alcohol, or candy and snacks.

He had already put two jars of wine in the trunk, both of which were 100-jin bottles, and he also brought a few cartons of cigarettes.

More than half an hour later, the jeep arrived at Liucun Commune, and Li Jiayi parked the car directly in front of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Let's go in and buy something."

"Well! Let's just buy some peach cakes! Forget about the candies, grandpa and grandma don't eat them much."

"Let's buy some candy!"

"Huh! Why are you buying candy?" Lin Ling'er asked puzzledly.

This made Li Jiayi say, should he tell her that your nephews and nieces are here and they should eat!
"Oh, just listen to me! Just buy one can. I don't need these tickets."

"OK then!"

After the two people arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, they directly bought ten kilograms of peach cakes and then asked for a can of White Rabbit milk candy.

After paying the money and tickets, the two men took their things and got on the car, then headed for Lijia Village.

When passing by the west end of the commune, Li Jiayi saw Sixth Grandpa chatting with those ox cart drivers from other villages.

Li Jiayi smiled, but did not stop.

"Sixth Grandpa is really good at talking." Lin Linger said with a smile.

"That's right. He doesn't have to worry about food or clothing now, and he lives a comfortable life, so of course he can talk about it."

In the past, when I was hungry, I didn’t even want to move, let alone talk!
Things are different now. Every household in Lijia Village lives a very good life. Sixth Grandpa, an elderly widower, is well taken care of by the villagers and can be said to have nothing to lack.

Soon the jeep arrived at Lijia Village.

Before they even got there, Lin Linger said, "Why is there a house being built next to grandma's house?"

"Isn't it normal to build a house!" Li Jiayi shrugged and said.

"That's true." Lin Ling'er said with a smile.

Just as the car passed by, Lin Linger suddenly shouted, "Stop."

Li Jiayi braked the jeep and turned around to ask, "What's the matter?"

Lin Ling'er rubbed her eyes and looked out the car window, then opened the door and ran out.

Li Jiayi took a look over there and understood what was going on. It turned out that his father-in-law was at the construction site.

So he got out of the car quickly.

At this time, Lin Linger had already run to her father-in-law and shouted in disbelief, "Dad."

Hearing the voice, the father-in-law quickly turned his head and saw his daughter standing in front of him. "Ling'er."

"Dad, it's really you! Why are you here?"

"Uh! Didn't your son-in-law tell you? Your mother, your eldest brother, second brother and sister were all brought here by your son-in-law."

"What? They were all taken here?"

"Yup!"

Just at this time, Li Jiayi also came over and shouted to Lin Gucheng, "Dad."

"Son-in-law! Didn't you tell Ling'er that we are here?" Lin Gucheng asked.

"Not yet. I'm planning to give her a surprise!" Li Jiayi said, touching his nose.

Lin Linger turned her head and glared at Li Jiayi and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm just afraid that you'll worry! So I plan to tell you after I bring my parents back."

"Okay, okay, let's go back first. Your mother is at your grandmother's house now." Lin Gucheng said.

"Uh! I'll go see my mom first!" Lin Ling'er said and ran to her grandmother's house.

Li Jiayi shook his head helplessly and said to his father-in-law, "Dad, why are you here?"

"I'm fine! I just came to check on you."

"Let's go then."

"it is good."

It was only a few steps away, so of course my father-in-law couldn’t take a car, so he went back first.

Li Jiayi got into the car and drove to his grandmother's house.

Because they were relatively close, by the time he started the car, his father-in-law had already entered the yard of his grandmother's house.

Li Jiayi drove the car forward a few steps and arrived at the gate of his grandmother's house.

I stopped the car, opened the back door, and started moving things downstairs, the first things being two jars of wine.

Only Li Jiayi can move this thing. Even his uncle has a hard time moving it, let alone others.

Only Li Jiayi didn't take the weight seriously.

When I came into the room with a jar of wine, I saw Lin Ling'er and my mother-in-law talking with red eyes.

My grandparents sat nearby and watched, and so did my father-in-law.

"Grandson, just put the wine in the main room." Seeing Li Jiayi still going to the west room, the old man said.

"Uh!" Li Jiayi then remembered that his father-in-law and mother-in-law now live in the west room, and it is no longer a room for storing things.

"Okay grandpa."

There are more people in my family now, so the demand for wine is also greater.

"Go and call all the children over." Li Jiayi's mother-in-law said to his father-in-law as soon as he put down the wine.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Dad, take a rest. Wait for me to bring the things in and then I'll go call you."

"No, it's not far, I'll go and call!"

My father-in-law has had nothing to do all day since he came here. He was so happy that he could find something to do.

"OK then!"

After his father-in-law left, Li Jiayi hurried out to move things.

There weren't many things, so they were all brought in quickly.

"Jiayi! Thank you." The mother-in-law turned and said to Li Jiayi.

"Mom, why are you talking about this? We don't need it as a family."

"All right!"

Li Jiayi poured himself a cup of tea and sat down.

Before he finished his cup of tea, his father-in-law came in from outside.

Following behind were my eldest brother-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, second uncle, second sister-in-law, as well as my sister and brother-in-law.

"Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law." Lin Ling'er called everyone quickly.

"Ling'er."

"Sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Auntie!"

Several children hurried over. When they separated, they were already grown up, so they were not unfamiliar with Lin Ling'er.

Li Jiayi stood up at this time, opened a can of White Rabbit milk candy, took out a handful and said, "Here, have some candy."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Thank you, uncle."

The children are now very familiar with Li Jiayi and no longer feel the strangeness they did when they first met.

The conversation got out of hand! It was already 11:30 and no one had moved.

Li Jiayi looked at his watch and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, it's already half past eleven. Should we cook first and then talk after dinner?"

"Ah! It's already half past eleven?" said the mother-in-law.

"Yup!"

"Then I'll go cook." The mother-in-law quickly stood up and said.

"Mom, let me help you." The eldest sister-in-law stood up and said.

"I'll help too." The second sister-in-law did the same.

It's easier to work with more people! At about twelve o'clock, a large table of dishes was ready.

Because there were too many people, the children couldn't sit at the table. Fortunately, there was a kang table at grandma's house, so the children had to eat on the kang table.

Maybe it was because I was in a good mood! My father-in-law and my brother-in-law drank too much at noon.

However, Li Jiayi thought that his father-in-law and brother-in-law were just greedy and drank as much of his good wine as possible.

Otherwise, why didn’t my grandfather and second uncle drink too much, and even my uncle who came later was the same.

Over the next few days, Li Jiayi and Lin Ling'er stayed there for about a week.

At this time, Li Jiayi had to go back to the city, because he had to deliver supplies to the factory!

It took more than half a month to bring my father-in-law and his family back home, and now they have been staying for another week, so he has to go back.

"How about you stay here for a few more days?"

After Li Jiayi told Lin Ling'er about returning to the city, Lin Ling'er decided to go back with him.

"No, it's not like we won't see each other anymore. Besides, my parents will live here from now on, so you can come anytime you want to see them."

"But you've been separated for such a long time, and you're going back after just a few days. Your parents won't have any objections, right?" Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.

"What can I say? You have something important to do."

Li Jiayi said helplessly: "I'm talking about you."

"What's wrong with me? I'm married to you now, so of course I'll go wherever you go!"

"Okay! Then explain it to your parents."

"Ok!"

I don’t know what Lin Ling’er said to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but the two of them went back to the city together in the afternoon.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Li Jiayi feels that Lin Linger has changed a lot after she came back.

At least he became much more cheerful, with a constant smile on his face, as if he had become a completely different person.

To be honest, seeing her like this, Li Jiayi was really happy and felt that everything he had done was worth it.
