Chapter 376 The current situation is strict
Chapter 376 The current situation is strict
"You don't have to explain for her. She is my daughter. How could I not know her situation?"
"Uh! This..."
What else can Li Jiayi say? That's right! How could parents not know what's going on with their children?
"Okay, stop talking! Jiayi is here to pick her up!" said the mother-in-law.
To be honest, Li Jiayi could understand Lin Ling'er's situation very well, because if he saw it, he would also feel sorry for the child.
But he knew very well that this was not good, so he would endure it and even pretend not to see it.
But Lin Ling'er can't do that! She is not as ambitious as Li Jiayi.
I guess every mother is like this! Li Jiayi is not careless. As a person who traveled through time from the future, he knows very well that children should not be spoiled.
"Jiayi! Let's have lunch here at noon! Call your grandparents over later." said the mother-in-law.
"Okay?"
Originally, Li Jiayi didn't plan to stay because he didn't want to see the child for the time being.
The main reason was that he was afraid that his mother-in-law would feel soft-hearted after seeing the child, but his mother-in-law had already said it, and he couldn't just leave like that.
"Okay then, I'll go get ready, you can have tea with your dad!"
"it is good."
After his mother-in-law left, his father-in-law looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Aren't you afraid of being soft-hearted when you see your child?"
"It's okay, Dad. Don't worry. I will never be soft-hearted. Just leave the child here. I will take Ling'er back to the city after dinner."
"All right!"
"Come, Dad, I'll pour you some tea."
"I can do it myself." The father-in-law said and went to get the teapot.
"How can I let you pour it yourself? Let me do it!" Li Jiayi said as he hurriedly helped his father-in-law pour the tea.
"Oh, right! What are my eldest brother, second brother and brother-in-law doing now?" Li Jiayi asked after looking around the yard.
Not only were my eldest uncle, second uncle and brother-in-law not there, but even my two sisters-in-law and eldest aunt were not there.
"What else can I do? It's not the busy farming season, and I'm teaching my kids in school."
"That's good too. It's much better than doing nothing. When people are busy, they won't have random thoughts."
"Yes! I just don't know when it will end." The father-in-law shook his head helplessly.
"Dad, don't worry. It will only take a few years at most. There will definitely be changes. Just stay here for a few more years."
In fact, there are only a few years left! At most, it will take two years, and then the reform will be implemented. As for the change, it has already begun.
It’s just that it’s not so clear at the moment, so it’s best to wait and see until everything changes completely.
"I don't mind. Your mother and I are used to this kind of life now. Maybe we will live here in the future."
"Ah! No way! You don't plan to go back to the city in the future?" Li Jiayi asked his father-in-law in surprise.
"Why go back to the city? It's so nice to stay here! If you want to eat something, just grow it yourself. If you want to eat meat, raise it yourself. It's much more comfortable than in the city."
"Then you just..."
"I mean your brother and sister. Your mom and I can get used to living here, but it won't be that easy for them to get used to it!"
"Yeah! That's true." Li Jiayi nodded in agreement.
Although my brother-in-law and his family seem happy every day and sometimes work in the fields, it is probably not easy for them to stay in Lijia Village forever.
"Dad, don't worry! My eldest brother and the others will definitely have a chance to get out."
"Ok!"
My eldest brother is already in his forties and his son is already seventeen years old. If they were in the city, they would probably have gone to the countryside.
But you don’t need that here. Not only do you not need that, but you’ve also been studying all the time. I think there will be no problem for you to take part in the first batch of college entrance examinations.
Not only him, but also his sister, and even his second uncle and eldest aunt's children were able to take the college entrance examination.
Although they are young, they have been going to school since they came to Lijia Village and have sufficient knowledge.
Of course, the same goes for the children in Lijia Village. While other children are playing at home or even running around in the streets, the children in Lijia Village are studying hard in class.
It is estimated that at least dozens of people from Lijia Village will take part in this first batch of college entrance examinations.
This is because some children are too young or have not learned that much knowledge.
If we wait a few more years, there would probably be even more, but unfortunately that is not possible.
Because soon Teacher Wang and Teacher Liu will also leave. Yes, perhaps Teacher Wang and Teacher Liu will leave before the reform and opening up and the start of the first batch of college entrance examinations.
Li Jiayi did not force this. When he helped Teacher Wang and others, he did not think about any reward.
"Add one! What do you think your eldest brother and others can do in the future?" asked the father-in-law.
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Dad, how would I know that? It depends on what my brothers like to do."
Just kidding, there will be policies for famous businessmen like my father-in-law after the reform and opening up.
Not only will their houses and belongings be returned to them, but they will also receive a certain amount of compensation.
Although there are only a few, they do exist!
With the background of my father-in-law's family, there is nothing we can't do when the time comes!
"If, I mean if! If your elder brother and the others can return to the city, you have to help them then."
"Dad, don't worry about this. I will definitely help you if I can."
Li Jiayi understood what his father-in-law meant. He was not asking him to help with money. His father-in-law was not short of money at all. He probably wanted to use his connections.
This was not a problem for Li Jiayi at all. Not to mention using his connections, even spending money wouldn't matter.
Does Li Jiayi lack money? Of course not, he has plenty of money. Although he can't compare with those hidden families or big families, in terms of personal wealth, he is really not afraid of anyone.
It is estimated that at this time, the world's richest man does not have one-tenth of his wealth.
If in a few years he could withdraw the wealth from the Japanese country, he would dare to touch even some hidden families in terms of wealth.
It's just wealth. He doesn't have the foundation to compete with the hidden families. You have to know that those hidden families have more than just wealth!
Whether it's connections or background, Li Jiayi can't compare to him.
Time passed by, and when Li Jiayi was chatting with his father-in-law, his mother-in-law came out of the kitchen and said, "Jiayi! Stop chatting, go tell your grandparents not to cook."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Jiayi stood up, said something to his father-in-law, and walked towards his grandmother's house.
When Li Jiayi arrived at his grandmother's house, his grandmother was just about to cook. His eldest grandson had arrived, and his grandmother was thinking about making a good meal for him!
"Grandma, are you ready to cook?"
"Yes! If you come here, grandma will make you something delicious."
"Grandma, please don't do it. My mother-in-law said that we will eat at the East Courtyard today. You and Grandpa can go together."
"Oh, look at me. Now that you're here, your mother-in-law must make you something delicious."
In fact, it doesn’t matter whose house we eat at, because we are a family. My grandparents eat at least half of the time every year at my mother-in-law’s house.
My father-in-law likes to drink, and every time he drinks he will come over and call the old man. Now that the old man has gone, it is impossible for the old lady to cook alone!
Besides, when the old man and the old lady were having dinner at their father-in-law’s house, the food they were eating was not Li Jiayi’s.
Yes, because my father-in-law’s family did not have any land in Lijia Village, everything they ate and used was prepared by Li Jiayi.
So when the old man and the old lady eat at my mother-in-law's house, they are actually eating Li Jiayi's food.
"Grandma, it's all the same, call Grandpa and let's go over there!"
"Row."
Li Jiayi hurried to the main room to call the old man out, and then they walked towards his mother-in-law's house together.
He said he was going to his mother-in-law's house, but actually he was going to Li Jia's house, because the house where his father-in-law and mother-in-law currently live belongs to Li Jiayi.
"Uncle, aunt, please take a seat." Seeing them come in, the father-in-law quickly stood up and said.
"You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." The old lady said. "Okay, auntie."
After grandma went to the kitchen, my father-in-law poured a cup of tea for the old man and said, "Uncle, have some tea."
"Well! You sit down too!" said the old man.
"it is good."
In fact, the old man is not much older than my father-in-law. You know, my father-in-law is now in his sixties.
The old man is only in his seventies now.
To put it bluntly, the old man got married early.
In this era, it is not uncommon for four generations to live under the same roof, and there are even many cases of five generations living under the same roof.
This is unimaginable in later generations. In later generations, it is still possible to see four generations living under the same roof, but five generations living under the same roof is almost non-existent.
In this era, most people get married in their twenties, and many even get married before they are twenty.
But in later generations, many people in their thirties are still unwilling to get married, and even if they do get married early, they still get married in their twenties.
Li Jiayi glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time to go home from school!"
After hearing what he said, his father-in-law looked at his watch and said, "It's about time for you to come back."
Sure enough, within a few minutes, Lin Linger was seen coming back with a few younger ones, followed by a few older ones.
"Dad!" When daughter Li Ying saw Li Jiayi, she hurried over.
"Oh! My baby daughter." Li Jiayi picked up the little girl.
"Dad, when did you come?" asked his daughter Li Ying.
"I came here in the morning!"
"So you're here to see me?"
"Yup!"
After chatting with his daughter for a while, Li Jiayi turned around and looked at his two sons and said, "You two boys, why don't you say anything when you see your dad?"
The two boys were a little afraid of him, and when they heard him ask this, they quickly hid behind Lin Ling'er.
"dad!"
"dad!"
"Ok!"
"Why are you here at this time?" Lin Ling'er came over and asked.
"I'll come and take you back."
"Ah! It's only been a few days!" Lin Ling'er looked at her daughter, then at her two sons and said.
"You can do it now. What did you promise me before? How come you forgot it when you got here?"
"Ah! I..." Lin Ling'er blushed and didn't know what to say.
"Okay, I don't blame you. I'm doing this for their own good, especially these two guys."
For Li Jiayi, he can be a little more lenient with his daughter, but must be strict with his son.
"Hi uncle!"
"Hello, uncle!"
"Well! Okay, how is your study going?" Li Jiayi nodded and asked the children.
"pretty good."
"That's good. I heard that the college entrance examination will be resumed in two or three years at the latest, so you must study hard."
"What, uncle, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, I can't lie to you about this."
"Son-in-law! You just said that the college entrance examination will be resumed in the next few years?" The father-in-law looked at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Yes, father-in-law."
"Is this news accurate?"
"I'm 100 percent sure. I learned about it when I was chatting with a few old men."
The old man Li Jiayi was talking about was not considered by his father-in-law to be an ordinary person.
Let me put it this way! In my father-in-law's opinion, the old man who could chat with Li Jiayi was definitely not an ordinary person.
Also, since the college entrance examination has been resumed, it won’t be long before the past is restored.
"Okay! Hahaha, did you guys hear that? You must study hard and take the college entrance examination when it is resumed."
"I know, Grandpa."
"I understand, Grandpa."
After a while, my uncle and his family also returned home one after another. They are now teaching the children in school.
It’s just that they are not real teachers, they just teach students in lower grades.
Because they are not real teachers, they teach very carefully and seriously, which is just enough to enlighten the children.
My second uncle moved a table out of the house and brewed a pot of tea.
In this way, the old people can talk to each other, and the young people can sit together and chat.
"Brother-in-law! What's the situation in the city now?" asked the eldest brother-in-law after sitting down.
"It's stronger than before, but it's not over yet. But it won't be far away. Please be patient for a while."
"We are not in a hurry. It's good to be here now. We just want to know some of the situation in the city."
My brother-in-law is right, he is indeed not in a hurry.
Compared to what they had before, this place is simply paradise. If it weren’t for Li Jiayi, they wouldn’t know what the situation is now!
"Brother, don't worry! As long as the situation in the city gets better, I will come and tell you immediately."
"Ok!"
Next, Li Jiayi told them about the current situation in the city.
He was telling the truth! Since we were all family, there was no need to adulterate.
"Okay, let's stop chatting and quickly clean up and eat." Mother-in-law came out of the kitchen and said.
"coming."
Because there were so many people, only one table for adults and one table for children could be arranged, and Lin Ling'er was assigned to the children's table.
This was not about asking her to go, but she wanted to go on her own. Seeing her like this, Li Jiayi shook his head.
The meal at noon was particularly sumptuous. It could be said that every time Li Jiayi came over, the meal was sumptuous.
Even Lin Ling'er couldn't compare to this, let alone my brother-in-law and even my sister-in-law's family.
"Come and have a chicken leg." Mother-in-law said as she put a chicken leg in Li Jia's bowl.
"Thanks, Mom! I can do it myself, you can eat too."
"Brother-in-law! You still have to drive when you get home, so don't drink. Just drink tea instead. I'll toast you."
"Brother, stop being disrespectful and clink glasses together."
"Okay, touch one."
The meal took more than an hour. If the children hadn’t had to go to school in the afternoon, it would probably have taken even longer.
