Chapter 126 Winter is really coming
But there is really no way for him to take the exam next year. It’s not that he can’t pass the exam, but that starting from next year, the three-year period will begin, and no one will care about this at all. .
It is estimated that if Liao Kai wants to take the exam, he can only wait until the end of the three-year period.
Of course, Li Jiayi will not tell him this now. He will naturally know it by then.
Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting colder and colder. It is also November, and it is normal for it to be cold.
But this is a hardship for Li Jiayi and other school students. They get up early in the morning and run to school after eating.
When we arrived at the school, everyone was as cold as a grandchild. The most important thing was that the school had no heating.
Even the windows are open for ventilation. There is not much difference between class in class and outside.
For example, the second sister caught a cold yesterday and took a day off to rest at home today.
In previous years, when it was so cold, it was usually around November and a half, but this year it was more than half a month earlier.
Although it is only more than half a month ahead of schedule, the gap is huge. If you don't pay attention, you will be like the second sister.
But he didn’t plan to put on the goose down jacket. He would just wear the goose down jacket at this time. What would happen when it gets really cold?
So he is wearing cotton clothes and trousers, which my mother made for me this year.
In previous years, the cotton-padded clothes and trousers I wore before were made larger, and the sleeves were made shorter and longer.
There is no shortage of cotton and fabrics at home this year, so I made a few new ones, even my parents did the same.
"Dong dong dong!"
I am thinking about something! There was a knock on the door, and then the eldest sister's voice came in and asked: "Brother, have you slept?"
"You haven't slept yet, eldest sister, what do you want?" Li Jiayi asked, walking over. Open the door.
"Mom made ginger soup and asked you to drink a bowl before going to bed to prevent a cold." The eldest sister stood at the door holding the ginger soup and said.
“Oh!” Li Jia took the bowl, tested it to see if it was not very hot, and drank it directly.
The eldest sister smiled and took the bowl and said: "Okay, you can rest! I will bring a bowl to your second sister."
Many people don't like to drink ginger soup, especially this pure ginger soup. But Li Jiayi can't.
He likes it very much. This may be because he prefers ginger. For example, their pickles contain a lot of shredded ginger.
Both the eldest sister and the second sister will pick out the ginger slices, but Li Jiayi likes to eat them.
It can be said that he ate all the ginger shreds in their pickles.
Although the ginger soup was not very hot, after a bowl of ginger soup, Li Jiayi soon felt warm all over his body.
It even feels like sweating.
He quickly lay down on the bed and entered the space covered with a quilt.
As soon as I arrived in the space, I immediately started sweating. I couldn’t help it, the temperature in the space was much higher than outside.
The main thing is that the space is like spring all year round. No matter what time, it is 25 or 6 degrees inside.
It's such a temperature, he just drank ginger soup, and the most important thing is that he is still wearing cotton clothes and trousers.
He quickly took off his cotton clothes and trousers, and then he felt better, but he still went over and drank a few sips of spiritual spring water.
After collecting what should be collected in the space, Li Jiayi started making spicy strips, and this time he made more.
No way, after the weather gets colder, many people prefer to eat spicy strips, so they need a lot more.
After finishing the spicy strips, Li Jiayi went to collect some royal jelly and planned to give some to his second sister tomorrow morning.
I've been coughing for a day, so I'm trying to use royal jelly to see if it can moisturize my throat.
Then Li Jiayi went to bed.
No words for a night.
Get up the next morning and start punching in the space. After punching, drink some spiritual spring water, and then come out of the space.
As soon as he came out of the space, Li Jiayi felt that it was a little colder today than yesterday.
Fortunately, he came out wearing a cotton coat and trousers, otherwise it would have been very cold even under the quilt.
I lifted the quilt and got off the bed. There was an enamel jar in my hand, which contained spiritual spring water and royal jelly.
In fact, royal jelly can also be used. After all, in terms of size, even queen bees may not be as big as them.
When he came downstairs, Li Jiayi went over and knocked on the door.
"Sister, are you up?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Get up."
Hearing the eldest sister talking, Li Jia opened the door and went in.
The eldest sister got up, but the second sister was still lying in bed and wrapped herself tightly.
"Little brother, what are you..."
"The special medicine prepared for the second sister, be sure to drink it after it is finished."
"What special medicine is so effective?" the eldest sister asked in surprise.
"You will know after you let the second sister drink it." Li Jia smiled and said nothing else.
Of course, although the water he used was spiritual spring water, it was not cold water, but hot water, which had been heated in the space.
Otherwise, with her cold body, drinking a glass of cold water would probably make her condition worse, even if it was spiritual spring water.
"Come to Jialin, let's see if this special medicine that I have given you is working?" After saying this, the eldest sister took the enamel jar and went to help the second sister.
"Can it really be okay?" The second sister looked up at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Don't worry! It won't be more serious than it is now."
Hearing what he said, Li Jialin thought about it for a while, this is hot water, even if it cannot cure the disease, it can It can't be more serious.
As soon as she took a sip, Li Jialin's eyes lit up, she quickly took the jar and drank it in just a few sips. "It's so sweet! It tastes very delicious," Li Jialin said.
Just kidding, this is royal jelly! And it uses spiritual spring water, so it’s strange that it doesn’t taste good.
"Hey, Jialin, are you really well?" Li Jiaqi asked doubtfully.
"Are you ready?" Li Jialin asked doubtfully.
Li Jiaqi looked at her and said, "You don't even cough anymore."
You must know that even when she was asleep, Li Jialin was coughing all the time, but after drinking the jar of water, she suddenly No cough either.
"It's really good! Brother, what kind of medicine is this?" Li Jialin asked.
"What kind of medicine is that? It just adds some royal jelly."
Li Jiayi didn't say anything about royal jelly, and I guess the eldest and second sisters don't know what it is.
"Royal jelly? Can royal jelly also cure colds?" Li Jialin looked at him doubtfully and asked.
Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "I don't know if it can cure a cold, but I know this thing can soothe your throat. No, you don't have a cough anymore."
"That's right!"
After saying that, he looked at Li Jiayi in confusion and asked: "But I don't feel so cold anymore, and I'm sweating. Why?"
"Maybe it's because you drank hot water! Didn't dad say that? ! Hot water cures all diseases."
Li Jialin gave him a look and said, "You are the only one who believes this."
"I don't believe it!" It’s right to drink more hot water.”
"That's true."
Anyway, let's say it anyway! Li Jialin no longer coughs, and I don’t know if her cold is getting better.
"Okay, get up quickly! It's time to eat." As soon as Li Jia finished speaking, he walked outside.
When we came outside, my mother had indeed prepared the meal, and Li Jiayi had already finished washing.
So I sat down directly and said, "Mom, I think it's going to snow today."
"No way! The weather forecast didn't say there will be snow!"
They have a radio at home, and my mother listens to the weather forecast every day.
“Who knows if the weather forecast is accurate? Anyway, I think it’s going to snow.”
Actually, Li Jiayi didn’t know when the snow in 1958 started to fall. He just knew that the snow was falling very hard.
Especially here in the Imperial Capital, many houses collapsed and many people were injured.
It's a pity that he couldn't tell it in advance, which was also the most helpless thing for him.
Let’s not talk about whether it can be said out loud. Even if it can be said, someone has to believe it. It is estimated that 99% of people will not believe it.
"No way! I think the weather forecast is quite accurate!"
Mom is really true, not to mention this era, even in future generations, I dare not say that the weather forecast is accurate.
The weather can change at any time, and who can say it accurately? Anyway, in later generations, Li Jiayi encountered inaccurate weather forecasts many times.
"Okay, let's ignore the weather forecast and get ready to eat quickly."
"Mom, I've finished washing and I'm just waiting to eat!" Li Jiayi stretched out his hand for his mother to take a look.
"Okay, you eat first."
"No, let's wait until my dad and the eldest and second sister come over!"
Although their family is not that kind Although he behaves well, he starts eating before his parents sit down. Li Jiayi cannot do such a thing.
"Son, it's okay, you can eat first!" Dad came out of the house and said.
"No, I'm not very hungry yet, let's eat together!"
Soon the eldest sister and the second sister came out of the house. They should have been washing just now, otherwise the eldest sister would have come out long ago.
At this time, dad also came in from outside, holding some firewood in his hand.
"Dad, why are you holding firewood?" Li Jiayi asked.
"It's too cold today. I plan to light the fireplace when I get back in the afternoon." Dad pointed to the fireplace in the main room and said.
This fireplace is placed in the main room, and it only warms the living room, and is of no use to the room.
But Li Jiayi was just about to install all the stoves, and if it didn’t work, he lit the stove.
The chimney has been arranged, and now we just have to install the stove. But in that case, winter will really come.
"Dad, there is no use burning the fireplace now, and there is no holiday. Our family rarely spends time in the living room except when eating."
"Uh!" After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin thought about it and it was true.
In fact, the reason why Li Jiayi installed this fireplace was that he planned to use it when the family stayed in the space after the holidays.
As for the stove in the room, it should be turned on when sleeping, so it will be warmer at night.
It is not necessary or even useful to burn the fireplace now.
Those who work during the day go to work, and those who go to school go to school. There is no one in the living room, so why burn it?
Besides, the fireplace cannot burn coal, it can only burn chopped wood. If no one is there, it will burn out in less than an hour at most.
After all, splitting firewood cannot be like coal. It can burn for several hours. If you put in a little more, it can actually burn all night.
After eating, Li Jiayi and his eldest sister went to school. As for the second sister, they still stayed at home.
She wants to go to school after she has completely recovered from the cold, and the teacher is very happy because the teacher is also afraid that the cold will be transmitted to other students.
