Chapter 407:

"That's true. I can go back and see her parents."

"Ok!"

"Hey, you too, why are you in such a hurry? You can't wait until Sunday! In that case, I can go back with you." Dad said at this time.

"Uh! Do you want to go back too?" Mom asked Dad.

"Of course!"

"Mom, why don't we go back on Sunday? It's only two days away anyway."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, my mother thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, then on Sunday, but then we'll have to drive two cars."

To be honest, there was no one checking cars at that time, so it would be fine even if I drove one, but there were too many people and it was too crowded and uncomfortable to sit.

"Just drive two cars. We don't need that little bit of gas money." Li Jiayi said indifferently.

"You little brat, I know you're rich, but you don't have to talk about it every day."

Although Li Jiayi is now in his thirties, in his mother's eyes, he is still a bad boy.

That's right. Don't say that he is only 34. Even if he is 60, he is still a child in his mother's eyes, and a bad boy.

"I don't think I said anything!" Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.

"I haven't said anything yet! I'm tired of hearing you say you have no shortage of money every day." said my mother.

"Uh! All right!"

After dinner, the family watched TV in the house. At around 7:30, Lin Ling'er returned home.

Now that the hotel is back on track, she doesn't need to stay there late.

She came back at around seven o'clock today, which is considered very late, considering that she usually goes home for dinner.

"Why did you come back so late today?" Li Jiayi asked.

Lin Linger poured herself a cup of tea first, and after drinking it, she said, "I was delayed by something at the hotel today, so I came back after dinner."

She knew it would be a little late to go home for dinner, so after finishing her work, she would have a meal before coming back.

"What is it that needs you, the general manager, to handle?"

You know, every hotel has a general manager, and Lin Ling'er, the general manager, is from the head office.

"It's not a big deal. I just did some tax calculations today, so I'm a little late."

"Oh! It's tax time again!"

The companies under Li Jiaming have to pay taxes every month, and he attaches great importance to this.

Anyway, he earns a lot and the money comes quickly, so he has to pay taxes.

The most important thing is that Li Jiayi will not try to evade taxes reasonably. He will pay exactly what he should pay, not a penny less.

"Yeah!" Lin Ling'er nodded.

"By the way, Mom is retiring today, so she wants to bring her son and daughter back home. What do you think?"

"Ah! Do you know?" Lin Ling'er asked in surprise.

As a parent, who doesn’t want their son or daughter to be around?

There was no way before and no one to take care of him, but it’s different now. Now there are people to take care of him and there are people to pick him up, so we must bring him back!
"Of course. Mom originally planned to let me take her there tomorrow morning, but Dad wanted to go too, so we changed it to Sunday. You should get ready as well."

"Yeah, I'll make arrangements tomorrow and we'll go together on Sunday."

After finishing speaking, Lin Linger turned around and walked to her mother and asked, "Mom, why did you retire suddenly?"

My mother was absorbed in watching TV, but she still answered, "You can retire when you get old enough."

"Ah! You retired because you reached your age! I thought you retired early."

The reason why Lin Linger thought so was mainly because her mother did not look like she was of retirement age.

Although my mother is actually 55 years old, she doesn't look like she is 40 years old.

So she often ignores her mother's age, otherwise she wouldn't ask.

Not to mention my mother, she herself is the same. You know, she is the same age as Li Jiayi! She is also 34 this year.

But judging from their appearance, they are no more than 24 or 25 years old, let's put it this way! When Lin Linger takes her eldest son out, people often mistake them for siblings because of their appearance.

Of course, the same goes for Li Jiayi. Judging from his appearance, he is only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

Not only that, he has maintained this appearance for several years. He has looked like this a few years ago and he still looks like this now. I guess there will be no difference in a few years.

Around nine o'clock, my mother turned off the TV, and then the family went back to their rooms to rest.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was Sunday.

Early in the morning, my mother and Lin Ling'er got up to cook. Since they had agreed in advance that they would go back today, they started cooking especially early.

After dinner, Li Jiayi and Lin Ling'er drove to Lijia Village in separate cars.

Dad sat in his car and Mom sat in Lin Linger's Lincoln.

More than two hours later, the two cars arrived at Lijia Village.

Nowadays, people in Lijia Village basically don’t take cars seriously because they have seen so many of them.

This is different from other villages. In other villages, many people may never have seen a car in their entire lives.

Because it was Sunday and the children didn't have to go to school, as soon as Li Jiayi parked the car, the children ran out from the yard.

"Mom and Dad."

"grandparents."

"Hey!"

Soon after, my father-in-law and mother-in-law came out. They are also at home taking care of the children on Sundays.

"The in-laws are here."

"Yes."

"Come in and sit down."

"Wait a minute, let's go to the west yard first and come back later."

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain." said the father-in-law, patting his forehead.

"Mom and Dad, let's go over and take a look first and come back later." Lin Ling'er also said quickly.

"go quickly!"

The old man and old lady live in the west courtyard! When they come here, they must go to the west courtyard first.

Besides, Li Jiayi had also prepared a lot of things for his grandparents, which also had to be sent over first.

"Dad, Mom, we're here." Dad and Mom shouted as they entered the yard.

Of course, my parents also took a lot of things.

As for Li Jiayi, there is no need to mention it. He carried the most things because he was so strong!
Lin Ling'er didn't take anything because the three little guys followed her in.

"grandparents."

"grandparents."

"Come on, come in." said the old lady with a smile.

The old man and the old lady were very happy that they came. Also, the older they get, the more they want their children to stay around them.

"Great grandpa and great grandma." The three little ones also shouted.

"Oh, my great-great-grandson is here too."

"Why are you all here today?" grandma asked after sitting down in the house.

"Mom, this is what happened. I'm retired now, so I wanted to bring Li Zhe and the other two to the city."

"Take the three of them to the city?" "Yes! Let them go to school in the city, too."

Hearing what my mother said, my grandfather nodded and said, "It's time to go back to the city to go to school."

You know, Li Zhe is in the third grade of junior high school now! When Qiuli comes, he will be in the first grade of high school.

There is no high school here, including in Liucun Commune. If you want to go to high school, you have to go to the county town.

In that case, it would be better to go back to the city. At least I can go to high school in the city and be close to home.

There was no end to the conversation, so they didn't go to the East Courtyard, but Li Zhe ran over and called his grandparents over.

Now only my father-in-law and mother-in-law are left here, so I plan to have lunch in the west courtyard.

In fact, Li Jiayi also thought about asking his father-in-law and mother-in-law to move back to the city, but maybe they have become accustomed to living here and they are not willing to go back at all.

That’s right. Even if she returns to the city, she will live with her son and it is impossible for her to live in his house.

But to be honest, it’s pretty good to live in the village. At least there are not so many worries.

Here you don’t have to worry about food and clothing. When you have nothing to do, you can grow some vegetables or walk around the village.

Let me put it this way! If he wasn't busy and had things to do, Li Jiayi would also like to live in the village.

It's a pity that he has this idea but not the fate to do it, because there are many things waiting for him to do every day.

If you want to live in the village, you probably have to wait until you retire.

While eating, Lin Linger told her father-in-law and mother-in-law about taking the children back to the city.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law did not object, but agreed to bring the children back to the city.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when the family drove back.

As for the transfer certificate, the village has already issued it. The eldest son Li Zhe’s certificate was also issued when he passed by Liucun Commune.

Although there was no one in the school on Sundays, Liucun Commune was not that big, so it was still easy to find someone.

But even so, it still wasted a lot of time. By the time the family returned to the city, it was almost seven o'clock.

"Son, let's go directly to the restaurant. Our eldest grandson and his family are coming back today, so don't go home to cook. Let's go directly to the restaurant for a meal." The father said to Li Jiayi who was driving.

"Okay dad."

Yes, if I go home and cook now, it will probably take at least eight o'clock for the food to be ready.

If that were the case, it would be too late. It’s different at a restaurant, as they will give priority to the food there, so it won’t take long before you can eat.

Li Jiayi was driving in front. Although he didn't tell Lin Ling'er and his mother, they still followed the jeep to the hotel.

They went to the main store of Qiurizhai because the chef here is He Yuzhu.

The family asked for a small private room, told the waiter to let her talk to He Yuzhu, ask He Yuzhu to cook a few dishes, and then wait.

They didn't have to wait long before the food was served.

"Come here, grandson, eat some meat." Mom started to pick up some food for her grandchildren.

"Thank you grandma."

"You're welcome. Eat more meat and grow taller. Then you'll be as tall as your dad."

"Yeah! I want to surpass my dad." said the eldest son Li Zhe.

"Okay, okay, I must surpass Dad!"

The meal was very warm and cozy as the family served food to the children.

When I got home after dinner, it was exactly eight o'clock. If I had cooked at home, the meal would probably have just been ready by then.

As for where the children will live, that has also been arranged.

My mother has been very busy these two days and has already cleaned up the room.

The eldest son Li Zhe and the youngest son Li Fan live in the room that was originally occupied by the eldest and second sisters.

My daughter Li Ying lives in the east room upstairs.

Because I came back late, I just took a shower and went to bed.

The next morning, Li Jiayi was supposed to take the children to school and arrange for them to go to school.

But my mother stopped me because she wanted to deliver it herself.

Since that’s the case, Li Jiayi doesn’t care anymore. It doesn’t matter who goes.

Prepared in Xinjiekou Street, my mother is still very famous.

It can be said that no matter which unit you go to, people will give you face.

Come to think of it, my mother was at the deputy director level before she retired, and when she retired she was promoted half a level and enjoyed the treatment of a deputy bureau level official.

Even if he didn't get promoted by half a level, he was still higher than the heads of various units! You know, the director of the subdistrict office is only at the department level.

The house has become lively since the children returned to the city.

Especially after school every day, my home almost becomes a children's playground.

Don’t forget that He Yuzhu, Nan Yi, and Liao Kai’s family also have several children of similar age!

Before, Li Zhe and his family didn’t come back, and the children didn’t come over. Now that they’re back, they all come over to play.

In fact, the main reason is that they have a lot of delicious food, including various fruits.

Another thing is that their color TV is relatively large, which makes it more comfortable to watch.

In the summer of 1984, fourteen-year-old Li Zhe was admitted to the computer science major of Huaqing University with excellent grades.

You have to know that at that time, the subject of computer science had not been offered for many years, and it could be said to be an absolute ace major.

In 1987, her fourteen-year-old daughter Li Ying was admitted to the Department of Economics and Management of the Imperial University with excellent grades.

The youngest son, Li Fan, was also admitted to the Finance Department of Huaqing University this year.

It can be said that the three children in his family all went to college at the same age, fourteen.

This is a good thing. When others graduate from college, they at least have a master's degree.

Even if you get a PhD, you will only be a few years older than other university graduates.

It was also in this year that many large shops throughout the capital were undergoing renovations.

Moreover, when the house was being renovated, a fence was put up outside, so we had no idea what was being renovated inside.

Yes, these places were all set up by Li Jiayi. As for what they were, of course they were supermarkets.

That’s right, it’s the supermarket. Some newly built four- or five-story commercial buildings are also being renovated.

These newly built commercial buildings also have supermarkets on the first floor and shopping malls on the second floor and above.

As for why Li Jiayi started opening a supermarket only now, there is a reason for this.

Because it was only in 1988 that the market economy was implemented, and it was no longer the previous planned economy.

During the planned economy era, there was no point in opening a supermarket. To put it bluntly, purchasing goods was a hassle.

Although private business has been allowed since the reform and opening up, the real large factories are still basically state-owned.

Factories like the one jointly opened by Li Jiayi and his elder and second uncles are extremely rare in the country.

But starting next year, things will be different, it’s a market economy! Goods will no longer have fixed prices.

Moreover, there will be more and more large private enterprises, and the prices of goods will be determined entirely according to the market.

That’s why he waited until this time to start thinking about opening a supermarket.

Similarly, after the market economy, as private enterprises increase in number, a wave of layoffs in state-owned enterprises will also begin.

The iron rice bowl is no longer an iron rice bowl. Not to mention ordinary workers, even some factory leaders will be laid off.

In the same year, commercial housing within the second ring road of the capital cost about 1,000 yuan per square meter.
