Chapter 124 Mom’s Wish
“You mean to unload things here?” Wobo looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and asked.
"Yes, someone will come and take him away in a while." Li Jia nodded and said.
"That's it! That's ok."
It's fast to unload things, and you don't have to walk, just put them directly on the ground, so it's finished quickly.
Although he didn't go far, Li Jiayi still gave Wobo 50 cents at the previously agreed price.
To be honest, it’s not easy to be a coward, and doing this is not considered work at all. As long as there is a job, it is impossible to do this.
The job of serving people is never easy. It’s windy and rainy outside every day. Sometimes I even run out for a whole day and can’t even pick up a few people.
You must know that it is very cheap to attract people. A dime at a time will cost you a lot of distance.
Unless it rains or snows, the price may be higher, but then it is raining and snowing.
It's like saying that all you earn is hard-earned money.
Li Jiayi is not a good person, but he will never care about the poor.
After Wo Bo'er left, Li Jia sent Asheng to wait at the entrance of the alley and put all his things into the space.
At this time, Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief. He would never buy so many things again next time.
Even if you make a few more trips.
Of course, he won't buy from this place next time.
There are so many supply and marketing cooperatives in the imperial capital, why do we have to go to one place?
When he arrived at the entrance of the alley and saw that no one was there, Li Jiayi took Asheng and the others into the space, and then ran home.
He had no intention of going through the back door this time, he had no choice, because he had to bring something home.
If it is something else, forget it, but what you bring today must be seen.
Yes, he wants to bring some pork suet home. This thing is not like other things. If it is pork head meat or something, he can just take it home and eat it.
But this thing needs refining, and the entire No. 7 Courtyard will know about it by then.
In this case, it is better to take it back openly.
Otherwise, someone will definitely report it, which would be too embarrassing.
Before returning to the entrance of the courtyard, Li Jiayi took out a large piece of pork suet, weighing about ten kilograms.
There was also a large piece of pig head meat, but he didn't take it out, but put it in his schoolbag.
Other than these, I didn’t bring anything else because I didn’t need it. There was no difference between putting it in the space and taking it out.
Carrying a large piece of pork suet, Li Jia went straight back to the courtyard.
Today is Sunday. Although it is a bit cold, everyone is sitting in the yard.
Although it is cold, there is sunshine! There are no tall buildings nearby to block the sun, so it is very comfortable to sit in the yard and bask in the warmth.
"Jiayi is back?" As soon as he entered the gate, he met Cheng Qiaoyun.
"Yes, Mrs. Cheng, you are doing laundry!"
"Well! I have a rest today, so I will take out what needs to be washed and wash it."
Actually As soon as Li Jia came in, Cheng Qiaoyun saw the pig suet in his hand.
But she didn’t say anything. Currently, her family is not short of oil. Some time ago, Li Jiayi distributed the pork suet to several of them.
Don't say there is no shortage of oil. Even if there is a shortage, she won't say anything because she is not someone who takes advantage at all.
"Aunt Cheng, you are busy first, I will go home first."
"Well! Go back quickly!"
Ying Jiasheng was still there when he came in just now , just as he was talking to Cheng Qiaoyun, Ying Jiasheng went back to the house. He didn't want to see Li Jiayi.
His wife and daughter-in-law were there, but they did not talk to Li Jiayi.
Then Li Jiayi will not pay attention to them.
In addition, he also saw Shi Shangfei. This man did not return to the house, but he also ignored Li Jiayi.
After talking to a few other people living in the front yard, he walked to the middle yard.
"Hello, Aunt Xu."
"Hello, Uncle Wang."
"Okay, plus one."
"Okay, little plus one, I can get such a big piece of pork suet." Uncle Wang said with a smile.
This uncle Wang’s name is Wang Debiao. If this happens in later generations, it is estimated that this standard will definitely be changed to Biao.
Uncle Wang lives in the east wing of the central courtyard, and the entire three rooms are their home, mainly because he has a large family.
With his parents, wife and children, there are about ten people, making them the most populous family in No. 7 Courtyard.
"It's not like I went to the pigeon market and met someone selling this, so I bought it." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.
"You guys are so lucky! I've been there several times without encountering him."
"Uncle Wang, this is different. You went there, I guess. I'll just stay for a while and then leave. I've been here since morning."
"Uh! This..." Wang Debiao thought about it. He went to Pigeon Market to buy something. The maximum stay is no more than an hour.
And Li Jiayi, if he goes there from the morning and stays until three or four in the afternoon, he will definitely encounter good things!
After all, people who go to Pigeon Market to sell things don’t have to go in the morning, they can do it at any time throughout the day.
And you don’t have to worry about not selling the good stuff, so you can go anytime.
"Add one! Did you buy this pork suet at the Pigeon Market over at Jianguomen?" Wang Debiao asked. "No, Uncle Wang, I went to Jianguomen today and met him there."
"Okay!"
Wang Debiao was also helpless! There are four huge pigeon markets in the imperial capital. Who knows where the sellers go!
If you want to buy good things, it can be said that it all depends on luck, and Li Jiayi is the one with better luck.
After chatting for a few more words, Li Jiayi walked home. As soon as he passed through the middle courtyard and entered the moon gate of the backyard, he met Liao Kai.
"I said you are really good. Are you going to Pigeon Market again?" Liao Kai asked.
"Uncle Liao, there's no need to ask, you'll know just by looking at this." Li Jia picked up a handful of suet and said.
In fact, Liao Kai asked him if he had gone to the pigeon market when he saw the pig suet.
"You're really good."
"By the way, Uncle Liao, what are you doing?" Li Jiayi asked, seeing Liao Kai holding a nail and hammer in his hand.
“I’m planning to build a coal shed in this corner!” Liao Kai said, pointing to the corner between his house and the wall.
"Uncle Liao, I think it's better for you to put the coal in the house."
Although Li Jiayi didn't say it clearly, Liao Kai understood what he meant after thinking about it.
He nodded and said, "You're right, I'd better put it in the house!"
The corner Liao Kai mentioned was actually between his home and the wall of the east cross courtyard.
You can see it here from Zhongyuan. It can be said that there is no insurance at all.
It's okay now, but when more coal is needed in winter, it won't be the case.
"It's up to you, I'll go home first."
"Go back! By the way, don't forget to bring some lard for me next time."< br>
“No problem.”
If it were someone else, he would definitely not agree, but it would be different if this person was Liao Kai.
Returning to Dongkuayuan, Li Jiayi immediately took out two packages of peach cakes, a box of Golden Rooster biscuits, and a can of White Rabbit toffee from the space.
Of course these are prepared for my sister. As for the glutinous rice sticks, we will talk about that later.
Anyway, it is in the space and can be taken out at any time.
I have no choice, it’s not that I don’t want to take it out, it’s just that I can’t take it. There are too many things I brought back this time.
"Mom, I'm back." Li Jiayi shouted as soon as he arrived at the door of the main room.
"You brat, you ran away for another day." My mother's voice came from the house.
The second sister is always the first to run out, because she knows very well that as long as her brother goes out, he will definitely bring delicious food when he comes back.
"Brother, are you back? What delicious food did you bring?" The second sister ran over and asked.
"Here you go." Li Jia handed over a handful of golden chicken biscuits, white rabbit toffee and peach cakes.
It happened that he didn’t have to take it himself. Even if he brought it into the house, the second sister would still take it away.
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods, and there are even golden chicken biscuits." The second sister said in surprise.
She knows about Golden Rooster Biscuits! Because she had seen her classmates eat it, but it was too expensive.
Although there are sometimes enough coupons for non-staple food at home, I still don’t want to buy them. My mother buys peach cakes at most.
"Okay, take it in and share it with the eldest sister."
"I understand, won't you eat it?" asked the second sister.
"Don't worry about me, I can eat whatever I want." Li Jiayi shrugged.
"Okay!"
Dad also came out of the house at this time, looked at Li Jiayi and asked: "Son! There is something wrong with you, how can you just I prepare some for your eldest sister and second sister, but you don’t know how to prepare some for dad?”< br>
Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "Then don't eat the pig's head meat in my schoolbag."
"Pig's head meat?" Li Aimin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly came over and said, "Come on, let me Dad, look how much you bought.”
It's a pity that Li Jiayi didn't let him put his hand into his schoolbag, and directly handed over the pig suet in his hand and said: "Take this."
"Pig suet." Li Aimin's eyes lit up again.
This is also a good thing! For the family, this is much better than pork head meat.
Just this large piece of pork suet, if refined, can feed the family for several months, and there will also be oily residue.
“Where is the pork suet?” Mom also came out of the house.
In fact, Ye Xin had wanted a piece of pork suet for a long time. The last time the meat was divided in the yard, she wanted a piece.
But her son was given to several needy households in the courtyard, so she couldn't say anything.
But she still wanted pork suet very much, and she had even wanted to ask her son if she could get it.
But I didn’t want to cause trouble to my son, so I never said anything. I didn’t expect my son to buy it back today.
“Here.” Li Aimin handed the suet to Ye Xin and said, “This piece weighs about ten kilograms! It can refine a lot of oil.”
"Great, with this piece of pork suet, I won't be short of oil during the Chinese New Year."
At this time, Li Aimin said: "In this case, can I have oil residue to make dumplings at night? "
"You stay here for a while. Didn't my son buy pig head meat? ? If you have pork head to eat at night, why should you eat dumplings?”
“Well, this…”
“Okay Dad! I bought more pig head meat today. You can eat it as much as you want.” , as for the oil residue (oil residue), I think it is better to make buns. ”
"Okay! It's good to have pig head meat. You can have two drinks in the evening. By the way, son, is there any good wine?"
