Chapter 379: 77 years, resignation

Chapter 379: Resignation
After the earthquake, reconstruction began everywhere because many dilapidated houses collapsed.

After Li Jiayi finished his work at the factory, he immediately drove Lin Linger to Lijia Village.

Arriving at Lijia Village, before entering the village, Lin Linger looked around the village, turned around and said, "It seems like nothing is happening in the village!"

"What could be the matter? Look over there, are they your parents?" Li Jiayi asked, pointing ahead.

"Yeah! It's mom and dad."

Li Jiayi quickly parked the car in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

How could my father-in-law and mother-in-law not see a car coming? Besides, there was only one jeep coming to the village.

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing here?" Lin Ling'er asked.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law had already leaned over the car window. When they heard Lin Linger's question, they said, "It's okay. We came out for a walk. Why did you come here at this time?"

"I'm worried about you guys! So I came to check on you."

"We have nothing to worry about. The house is not damaged at all."

"Let's go home quickly."

Lin Linger quickly got out of the car, opened the back door and said, "Mom and Dad, get in the car first, let's go back together."

"Hey, it's just so far away, why bother getting on the bus?"

"Mom, let's get in the car. It looks close, but it will take at least ten minutes to get there."

Of course, Lin Ling'er was talking about walking back, not driving. If you drive, even if you go slower, it will only take about three minutes.

"Fine!"

After his father-in-law and mother-in-law got in the car, Lin Ling'er also got in, and Li Jiayi drove home.

Soon the jeep arrived at the door of my father-in-law's house, or to be more precise, at the door of his own house.

But he doesn't live here, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law live here, so it's not wrong to say it's in front of his father-in-law's house.

After getting off the car, Li Jiayi said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to go see my grandparents first and come back later."

"Okay, go ahead! Ling'er will go with you."

To greet the elders, of course everyone should go! The father-in-law and mother-in-law are both sensible people, so how could they let Li Jiayi go alone?

"Okay! Mom and Dad, we'll come over later." Lin Ling'er nodded and said.

"Go ahead! It doesn't matter if you don't come, we're next to each other anyway." said the father-in-law jokingly.

Li Jiayi brought Lin Ling'er to grandma's house quickly. Grandma was picking vegetables in the yard. When she saw two people coming, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Why are you two here?"

"Grandma, Jiayi and I came to see you and Grandpa."

"Hey, what's so good about us? We can eat, sleep and are healthy," said grandma.

"Grandma, it's good to be healthy! That way we can feel at ease." Lin Ling'er said.

In fact, for children, the greatest happiness is for their elders to be healthy.

"Grandma, why are you home alone? Where is Grandpa?"

"Your grandfather is obsessed with chess now. I don't know who he is playing chess with in the village right now!"

"Ah! My grandpa can also play chess?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.

Because from childhood to adulthood, he has never seen the old man play chess!

"How can he play chess? He just learned from your father-in-law for a few days, so he thinks he is invincible and plays chess with people in the village every day."

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said, "My grandfather still has this desire to win!"

"That's not."

"Hahaha!" Lin Ling'er also laughed after hearing this.

"Playing chess is a good thing! It can prevent Alzheimer's disease, which is good." Li Jia nodded and said.

I didn't know that the old man liked to play chess. If I had known earlier, I would have gotten him a good chess set no matter what.

But it’s not too late now. You’ll know now. Next time you come, you should prepare a set.

"The children are in class now, haven't you gone to school to check on them?" asked grandma.

"No, I came here directly. Besides, the children are still in class now, so I won't go over. I can see it after school."

"That's right. Let's eat here at noon. Grandma will make delicious food for you."

Before Li Jiayi could say anything, Lin Linger said, "Okay, grandma, I'll help you."

"Hahaha, that's great. How about this, ask your parents to come over for lunch together."

"Okay, I'll let Jiayi tell them later." After saying that, he started to help grandma pick vegetables.

In this situation, Li Jiayi felt sorry for the old man for three minutes helplessly, because they were having lunch here at noon, and the old man must have made a lot of good wine.

But the old man probably wouldn't care, because he wouldn't worry about not having wine to drink.

"Ling'er, help grandma pick vegetables first. I'll go tell my parents-in-law, or they should be cooking over there."

"Well! Go ahead!"

Li Jiayi came out of his grandmother's house and went straight to the east yard. His father-in-law was drinking tea alone in the yard.

"Hey, why are you here alone? Isn't Ling'er here?" asked the father-in-law.

"Dad, grandma said that we'll have lunch over there, so she asked me to come over and tell you and mom not to cook lunch."

"Sure! Ask your mother to come over and help."

Just at this time, my mother-in-law came out of the house, heard them talking, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over first."

In fact, it doesn’t matter where we eat, since it’s our own home anyway, so my mother-in-law went straight there without saying a word.

"Come, son-in-law, drink some tea with me first, and we'll go over later."

"Sure, my grandpa isn't at home." Li Jiayi smiled, of course he was thinking of his old man playing chess with others.

"Your grandfather moved a stool and chess set out early in the morning. He must be playing chess with others in the village."

"Yes! Grandma has already told me."

After they finished their pot of tea, they prepared to go to the west courtyard. Before leaving, each of them moved an octagonal table.

There was no other way. There was only one octagonal table in my grandfather's house, and it wasn't very big. If we moved one table over, it wouldn't be enough to accommodate everyone, so we had to move two.

As for the benches, there is no need to move them yet. Just wait until my brother-in-law and his family come back and ask them to move them over.

When Li Jiayi and his father-in-law came over, cooking had already begun, and the position of chef was of course Lin Ling'er!

If we talk about who cooks the best food at home, it must be Lin Ling'er without a doubt.

All these years of learning cooking skills are not in vain, let's put it this way! If a chef assessment can be carried out now, Lin Linger can at least pass the second level.

Although he cannot be compared with Nan Yi, Liao Kai and He Yuzhu, he is definitely much better than ordinary chefs.

Li Jia placed an octagonal table directly in the yard, and then quickly went into the house and moved out two chairs.

"Dad, please sit down first. I'll go make a pot of tea."

"Okay, try your grandfather's good tea."

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi suspected that his father-in-law was implying something about him, because Li Jiayi did not give his father-in-law the spiritual tea.

If my father-in-law wants to drink the magic tea, he can only come to my grandfather's place.

There is nothing we can do about it, because my father-in-law and his family all like to drink tea, and if we give them spiritual tea, they will definitely need a lot.

Li Jiayi touched his nose and did not respond to his father-in-law's words. He went into the house, picked up the purple clay teapot, poured some of the old man's spiritual tea, and then filled it with boiling water.

Then he took two cups and came outside, placed them directly in front of his father-in-law and said, "I'll pour you a cup first."

"Come on, pour it." Li Jiayi first poured a glass for his father-in-law, and then poured himself a glass.

The father-in-law picked it up, smelled it and said, "This tea is still the best!"

"Dad, the tea you drink is not bad! I spent a lot of money to buy it. It's really not easy to make. How about this, I'll get you a pound later."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! How could I lie to you?"

"Hahaha, that's such a good feeling!"

Li Jiayi was speechless! But it didn't matter, it was just a pound of spiritual tea.

Besides, my father-in-law knows that this magical tea is not easy to make, and it is probably not easy for my brother-in-law and others to drink it even if they want to.

It's not that Li Jiayi is stingy, it's mainly because there are too many people! Just like the old man and, just the old man, grandma basically doesn't drink tea water.

But my father-in-law's family is different! The whole family drinks tea, so they need a lot of tea leaves a year!

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, the old man came in from outside carrying a stool.

Li Jiayi and his father-in-law stood up quickly.

"Sit down. Why are you standing up? We're a family and there's no need to be so polite." The old man put down the stool and said.

"Grandpa, let me get you a cup."

"it is good."

Li Jiayi quickly ran into the house to get a cup, then poured a cup for the old man.

At this time, Li Jiayi heard someone talking in the East Courtyard, but he didn't sit down and said, "Grandpa, Dad, I think my eldest brother and the others are back. I'll go call them over."

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Jiayi walked out quickly and soon arrived at the East Courtyard.

In fact, when my brother-in-law and his family saw the jeep and went home and saw that no one was at home, they knew that the person was in the west yard.

"father!"

Before Li Jiayi could speak to his brother-in-law and others, his daughter Li Ying came running over.

Li Jiayi quickly squatted down, picked up the little girl and asked, "Do you miss your dad?"

"Have."

"Hahaha, that's fine as long as you have it."

"Brother, we'll have dinner in the west courtyard today. Please carry your stools to the west courtyard."

"Okay, let's go."

"Sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, brother-in-law, sister." Li Jiayi greeted them hurriedly.

"Dad." The eldest son Li Zhe came over and called out first.

Li Jiayi nodded to him and said, "Let's go to the west courtyard."

"it is good."

"Dad!" the youngest son Li Fan called out timidly.

"What's with that expression on your face, kid? Can I eat you? If you greet your own dad like this, how will you treat others?" Li Jiayi said with a glare.

"Brother-in-law, he is only like this with you, not with others." The eldest brother-in-law came over and said.

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi scratched his head, glanced at his youngest son Li Fan, and thought: Am I too strict?
But that's not right! Since I came to Lijia Village more than a year ago, I have basically not seen him many times, and I have never cared about him at all.

"Let's go first." said my brother-in-law.

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi was walking in front, holding his daughter and brother-in-law, followed by a group of people, most of whom were carrying benches.

"Grandpa."

"Grandpa."

"Hey! Come here quickly and let Grandpa take a look."

Li Jiayi also put the little girl down at this time.

"Mom!" As soon as the little girl's feet touched the ground, she ran towards the kitchen.

At noon, the whole family had a meal at grandma's house. After the children went to school in the afternoon, the couple drove back to the city.

Yes, this time Lin Ling'er did not stay because she had just returned not long ago.

Besides, if she stayed, it would be difficult to manage the children.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was September of 1978.

At this time, news about the college entrance examination was everywhere, and even people in the countryside knew about it.

Because it is the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the time is December.

Also, because it was the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, everyone could take it. So if Li Jiayi wanted to, he could also take the college entrance examination.

Of course, this is impossible, he doesn't need it at all. For him, there is no difference between going to four years of college or not.

You have to know that he is already 29 years old this year. If he goes to college for another four years, he will be 33 years old when he graduates. It can be said that it is meaningless.

With these four years, he didn't know how much he could do.

But this is good news for others!
Especially for Teacher Wang and Teacher Liu, if they return to the city now, not only can they resume their jobs immediately, but they can also get back pay for these years of work.

But they did not leave for the time being because the college entrance examination was about to begin, and many of the students they were teaching now had to take the college entrance examination.

This has been discussed with Li Jiayi. They will go back after these children take the college entrance examination.

As for the remaining children, they will go to school in the commune.

By this time, Li Jiayi had already cleaned up the house.

In last year's earthquake, some of the houses he bought were also destroyed.

Now, the houses that need to be rebuilt have been rebuilt, and those that need to be repaired have been repaired.

Especially the storefronts, which have basically been renovated. There are several particularly large two-story and three-story shops, which have been finely decorated.

And it was decorated completely according to his wishes.

Yes, Li Jiayi’s first step was to open four restaurants.

As for what to do next, we will talk about it later. At least it’s a bit early to talk about it now.

The college entrance examination hadn’t even started yet! Li Jiayi found Liao Kai first.

"Jia Yi, are you asking me to resign?"

"Yes, Uncle Liao."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kai scratched his head, wondering what Li Jiayi was thinking.

"Uncle Liao, don't worry. I'm going to arrange a job for you. As for the salary, let's put it this way. One month's salary is at least equivalent to what you earn in a year now."

"What! One month's salary is equivalent to one year's salary now?" Liao Kai looked at Li Jiayi in surprise.

Whether it is Liao Kai, Nan Yi, or even He Yuzhu, their monthly income is now around one hundred and twenty yuan.

Of course, this is still the income they make from preparing meals for others on weekends. As for salary, it is only about 90 yuan.

Even if it was one hundred and twenty, twelve times it would only be more than one thousand four hundred yuan, which was not a high price for them.

"Yes, and this is the lowest. It may be higher than this."
