Chapter 136: There are indispensable people in Pigeon Market
The people waiting in line to buy groceries were Wu Laowai and her eldest son Wu Zhiyi.
"Yes! Aunt Han, but we went earlier and queued up at three o'clock."
Li Jiayi deliberately moved the time earlier to avoid others' suspicion.
“What, we arrived at three o’clock, isn’t that midnight?”
At this time, Liao Kai went on to say: "There is no way, I still have to go to work, I can't do it early! What if the worker brothers can't eat."
Han Li really wanted to say, who doesn't go to work! Her Wu Laowai also has to go to work!
Wu Laowai is a Level 5 forger in the Second Steel Rolling Plant. He was previously Level 4. He took the assessment some time ago and was promoted to Level 1.
It is considered a high-income family in No. 7 Courtyard, with sixty-one dollars and seven per month, which is more than enough to support a family of six.
Soon the cart returned to the backyard. It first unloaded Liao Kai's fifty pounds, and then went to the east cross courtyard.
"Son, why are you back so soon?" Li Aimin was shoveling the snow in the yard and asked in surprise when he saw them coming back.
"The cabbage has been bought, why don't you come back?"
"Uh! Okay! I'll open the cellar, you guys help me pass it down."
"Dad , you should wait a moment and unload the cabbage first, the master has to do some work!”
“Yes, yes”
There were only more than two hundred kilograms of cabbage in total, which was not much at all, and it was quickly unloaded on the ground.
Li Jiayi took out two cents and handed it over and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"No, no, then I'll leave first." Wo Bo'er took the money and said.
"Well! You walk slowly."
Yes, it's two cents for this trip, don't look at it much, you know it's very close!
And no time was wasted whether loading or unloading the truck. If it was like this, he could make dozens of trips a day.
At this time, Li Aimin had opened the cellar and was preparing to put cabbage into the cellar.
Liao Kai came over at this time and said: "Jiayi, did you give the money?"
"Yes, Uncle Liao, what's the problem?"
"No problem , but I should give this money.”
"Hey, I thought what's going on? It makes a difference who gives the two cents!"
To be honest, Li Jiayi really hasn't thought about this, because to him, two cents is the difference. Money really doesn't mean anything.
"That's right, Xiao Kai, it doesn't matter who gives it." Li Aimin said.
“Okay!”
“Uncle Liao, have you put all the cabbage in the cellar?”
"Yes! Put it in." Liao Kai nodded.
Fifty pounds of cabbage, less than ten heads, is not easy to store in the cellar.
The cellar where Liao Kai keeps cabbage is shared with others. There are two cellars in the backyard, and they are basically used nearby.
Only Li Jiayi and his family share a cellar.
Dongkuaoyuan did not have a cellar in the past. The family dug the cellar themselves.
With Liao Kai's help, their cabbage was soon put into the cellar.
After covering the cellar and washing his hands in the past, Li Aimin said, "You guys are so fast. I thought I wouldn't be able to come back until about ten o'clock."
"Normally speaking, it's almost the same. That's when." Liao Kai said.
“What do you mean?” Li Aimin asked doubtfully.
Liao Kai glanced at Li Jiayi and said: "We have to thank Jiayi for not only letting us come back early, but also buying first-class cabbage. The most important thing is that everyone bought two more Ten pounds.”
Hearing Liao Kai's words, Li Aimin glanced at Li Jiayi in surprise and asked: "What's going on?"
There was no other way, Li Jiayi could only tell the story in detail.
"Hahaha, my son is doing well." Li Aimin patted Li Jiayi on the shoulder after wiping his hands.
"Dad, you can't say this when you go out. Although we paid for it, it's not good for people to know."
"Bad boy, your dad and I are not stupid. , how could you go out and talk nonsense?”
Li Jiayi shrugged and said: "I didn't say you were stupid, I just wanted to tell you."
"You..." Li Aimin was speechless! We can't keep this son, it's best to give him away.
"Okay, come over and eat quickly, Xiaokai should eat too! After eating, go to work."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, then I'm welcome." Liao Kai said .
"You're welcome, it's a little late for you to cook at this time." Ye Xin said indifferently.
"Yeah!"
While eating, Li Jiayi asked: "Mom, it's so cold now, doesn't your factory have a holiday?"
Ye Xin works in the publicity department, right? He knows more about things in the factory than others.
"Don't think about it. The tasks are heavy now, and I don't even know if I can have a holiday during the New Year."
"Ah! Sister-in-law, isn't it?" Liao Kai asked in surprise.
"What, you want to take a vacation too?"
Liao Kai scratched his head and said: "Who doesn't want to take a vacation! It's too cold today."
Li Aimin said at this time: "It's cold too. Don’t worry about you! The kitchen is so warm!”
This is true, even if Ye Xin is sitting in the office, there is no way to compare with the kitchen.
There is no heating in the office, only a stove that burns briquettes, and it doesn’t care about anything. "Brother Li, it's cold on the road! From home to the factory, my whole body is frozen. Even if I get to the kitchen for a long time, I can't recover."
"Is it so cold?" Li Aimin felt that Liao Kai's words were a bit exaggerated.
There is no way, because he has no idea what the situation is. If you ask him to take off the goose down jacket he is wearing, you will see what he will say.
"Why not? It's more than 20 degrees below zero. If Jiayi hadn't found me a coat to wear today, I don't know if I could have lasted until dawn."
"Jiayi gave me a coat. The coat you are looking for?" Li Aimin asked.
"Yes! This is the one I took off just now." Liao Kai said, pointing to the military coat hanging on the hanger.
Li Aimin turned his head and looked at Li Jiayi at this time.
"Dad, what do you think I'm doing? You don't need this thing at all. Just the clothes you're wearing, let alone twenty degrees below zero, you won't feel cold even if it's thirty degrees below zero. "
"Uh!" Li Aimin was stunned and asked: "Son, are you telling the truth?"
Li Jiayi said helplessly: "How do you feel at work these days? Is it cold yet?”
"That's not true." Li Aimin shook his head.
"That's it, so you can't use this coat."
Liao Kai asked at this time: "Jiayi, didn't you borrow this coat from someone else?"< br>
"Uncle Liao is so stupid. Who would lend a coat to others in such a cold weather!" Li Jialin said with a smile.
"Uh! Okay! I am indeed quite stupid." Liao Kai admitted helplessly.
yes! Who would be stupid enough to lend someone their coat in this weather?
"Uncle Liao, just wear this coat! It was originally prepared for my dad, but he doesn't need it, so you can just wear it to and from get off work."
"Ah! This is But no, this coat looks new, I can’t have it,” Liao Kai shook his head.
"If you don't want it, no one in our family will wear it! Otherwise, when you are free, help me buy some gadgets."
"Knickknacks?" Liao Kai asked. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Wait for me."
After that, he walked outside.
In just four or five minutes, Liao Kai came over again, holding two things in his hand, one was a jade Guanyin, and the other was a cricket jar.
"I give this to you, just think of this coat money and that cricket pot as promised to you last time."
"Uh! Uncle Liao, you..."
“Okay, take it! I went to Liulichang to buy this Jade Guanyin on Sunday. It didn’t cost much.”
When he heard that he got it from Taobao, Li Jiayi stopped being polite and said: "Okay, in that case I'll accept it."
"Well! I still take advantage of this." Liao Kai said with a smile. .
Actually, he said this on purpose. No matter how much money he spent to buy this thing, he might not be able to buy this coat for the money.
But the real value of this jade Guanyin pendant is definitely much more valuable than the coat.
He knew this, so he said that.
However, no matter how valuable the jade Guanyin pendant is, it does not block food or clothing, so it is not as reliable as a military coat.
The most important thing is that you can’t buy this thing even if you have money. Although it is sold in department stores, they are imitations.
Li Jiayi gave him this. It was a genuine military coat, and it had a layer of sheepskin with wool inside.
It feels really warm when you wear it!
"Uncle Liao! If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will get it for you. Just help me buy some gadgets when you have nothing to do."
"Hahaha, no problem."
In fact, Liao Kai also likes these gadgets, otherwise he wouldn't go shopping for them during his break.
But since Li Jiayi likes it, he will search for a few more pieces, which means more time for him.
After dinner, my parents went to work, and Li Jiayi also ran out of the house.
This is his privilege, and he is the only one who can run around in the house.
Li Jiayi came to the lake near Xizhimen again, the same place as yesterday. He collected the snow at the entrance of the cave and got in.
Then the hole was sealed.
Just as he thought, the place where the ice cubes were collected yesterday was frozen again today.
What made him feel even more strange was that the newly frozen ice was not much different from yesterday.
Even the position is only slightly lower than yesterday. You must know that the ice cubes he took away yesterday were thirty to forty centimeters!
Could it be that the water in this lake can still grow? Otherwise there is no way to explain it! Anyway, he didn't understand what was going on.
But now is not the time to think about this, Li Jiayi started smashing the ice again.
During this period, he also took out the water from the spiritual spring and the pool to freeze outside.
November has passed in the blink of an eye, and December has entered, and it’s not long before the Chinese New Year.
In previous years, school would have been going on at this time, but this year students have been at home for more than a month.
There were two days in between, but in just two days, several people in Li Jiayi's class had high fevers.
There is no other way, the school can only close classes again and have a holiday.
And Li Jiayi is very bored now! It's freezing and snowy outside, so there's no way to go out and play.
For this period of time, he has been doing nothing but freezing ice. He doesn't even know how much ice there is in the space now, but there is a lot of it anyway.
But there is also good news, that is, the Pigeon Market will be open soon. Although it is still ice and snow outside the city, the area of the Pigeon Market has been stampeded by people.
No, Li Jiayi is preparing things, how can Pigeon City be without him.
