Chapter 143: Gloating
"After it is cleared out, not only can the villagers go to the commune to attend the market, but I can also come here! If it is not cleared out, how can I come here."
The old man nodded and said : " That's true."
"Old man, go and call all the old people over, make something delicious for lunch and feed the children."
"Grandma, I'll go. ! The road is slippery. ”
In fact, the old man is only in his fifties and is a farmer. It can be said that he is in good health.
"Okay, you can go, but be careful not to fall."
"Don't worry, grandma, I know."
"Yeah! Go! Go back quickly."
Li Jiayi came out of grandma's house and went straight to his uncle's house.
Although it's not close, it's in the same village, no matter how far it can be.
In just a few minutes, Li Jiayi arrived at the door of his uncle's house, went up and patted the door and shouted: "Uncle."
Soon the door opened, and the uncle was wearing a blue coat. An old-fashioned coat appeared before him.
He showed a surprised expression and asked: "Jiayi, when did you come?"
"I just arrived. Grandma asked me to call you and ask you to take your aunt back. Both my brother and sister will go there.”
"Okay, okay, you come in first."
"Yes!"
Li Jiayi followed the uncle into the house. The uncle's house has also been renovated, and even the houses in the village have been renovated. Pass.
The heavy snowfall this time did not have much impact on the village, and because of the preparations in advance, it can be said that there is a lot of firewood used at home.
When Li Jiayi came in, both the aunt and the cousins were all staying on the kang.
Because the kang is burning! The kang is very warm. In this case, no one would stay on the kang.
I guess I only get up from the kang when I’m eating!
And looking at the pile of firewood in the house, this must have been the case for some time.
“Jiayi is here?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
"Would you like to come and stay on the kang?"
"No, aunt, grandma asked me to call you over."
"Oh! I'll get up right now."
"Brother."
"Brother."
The cousins also hurriedly greeted Li Jiayi, especially the cousins, who all came out of bed.
"Get up quickly! Grandma will make delicious food for lunch today. Let me call you over to eat."
As soon as I hear that there is delicious food, whether it is two cousins or Cousins, both have shining eyes.
During this period, although they were not hungry, they only ate ordinary meals every day.
Wootou, pickles, sometimes fried radish or cabbage, and occasionally eat white flour steamed buns.
Don’t think about meat. Heavy snow has sealed the mountains, doors and roads. You can’t go anywhere.
Especially in the mountains where you can get some meat, don’t even think about it, the snow inside is thicker than people.
As for the pigs and sheep in the village, don't even think about it. They have all been registered. One or more of them are missing, which is a big deal.
It can be said that they are already very greedy. Now that they heard that there is delicious food, they don’t care whether it is cold or not!
"Wear thicker clothes, don't freeze." The aunt arranged for the three of them.
"I understand, Mom."
Perhaps due to the influence of Li Jiayi's family, my cousin and cousin are also called Mom, unlike other children in the village who are called Niang.
At this time, the uncle finally intervened and asked: "Jiayi, how did you get here with such heavy snow? Is there a bus?"
"Uncle, there is a bus. I don’t know if the car is accessible. , I made a sled myself and asked Asheng and the others to pull it over.”
The bus from the city to Changping County is open, but the bus from Changping County to Liucun Commune is. He really didn't know whether it was possible or not.
Anyway, he didn't see the bus when he passed by Liucun Commune.
You must know that under normal circumstances, there will always be a bus parked there in the commune.
After all, they run on opposite sides. If one bus goes from the commune to the county town, then one bus from the county town will also come.
In other words, there are two trips a day, which is actually one round trip per car.
"You are really brave, you dare to come here with a sled by yourself." The uncle shook his head and said.
Is Li Jiayi brave? With Asheng and the other seven here, no one would really dare to take a chance on him.
Let alone a human being, even a tiger, Asheng and the others could be torn alive. This is no joke.
With Asheng's physique and the transformation of Lingquan water, even Li Jiayi doesn't know how strong their fighting power is.
Soon, the aunt and cousins all got dressed, and then the group rushed to grandma’s house.
Back at grandma's house, when he saw Asheng and the others, the uncle finally understood why Li Jiayi was so bold.
If it were him, he would be bold. With these seven giant dogs around, he wouldn't dare to go anywhere!
“Here, Xiaocui is going to cook with me.” Grandma said as she watched them coming.
The Xiaocui my grandma mentioned is my aunt’s name. Her full name is Liu Xiaocui, a simple and kind-hearted farmer.
“Okay mom.”
Grandma and aunt went to cook, and Li Jiayi and uncle came to the main room.
When they saw the pile of things on the ground, the eyes of the two cousins lit up!
Even the uncle looked shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face. "Brother Jiayi."
Seeing his cousin's expression, Li Jiayi still didn't understand what was going on.
“It’s almost lunch time, so don’t eat the cookies and eat some toffee!”
"Yeah!" The cousin nodded.
Li Jiayi went over to open the toffee can, grabbed a handful of toffee from it, handed it to his cousin and said, "Give it to the eldest brother and the second brother to eat together."
"Thank you Jiayi Brother."
"No, I brought these toffees and biscuits for you anyway."
"Are there no cigarettes and wine?" The uncle suddenly asked at this time. .
Of course there are tobacco and alcohol! But he was released by the old man.
"What does it have to do with you whether you have tobacco or alcohol? That is my grandson's filial piety to me." The old man said at this time.
"Uh! Dad, I just wanted to ask." The uncle touched his nose awkwardly.
“Hmph, I tell you, don’t try to get me to smoke or drink, otherwise your legs will be broken.”
Looking at his father’s defeat, his cousin and the others all looked like The expression of gloating over one's misfortune is probably something that is often said.
At this time, grandpa had already lit the small fireplace in the living room.
Yes, there is also a fireplace here, but it is relatively small, mainly because the rooms in this kind of house are inherently small.
Originally, the old man refused to allow it to be repaired, but Li Jiayi insisted on repairing it, so he repaired it.
But it seems that it has not been used. This is normal. There is a kang in the room. Burning the kang and lying on it is no better than staying in the living room.
There are only two grandparents at home, how can we sit in the living room and stare at each other all the time?
However, there were many people today, so it came in handy. When the fireplace was lit, the living room immediately became much warmer.
"Dad, this fireplace is so warm, why don't you usually light it?"
After a while, everyone felt that it was getting hot. The uncle asked while taking off his coat.
"Why burn it? It's very warm lying on the kang."
"Uh! Okay!"
Li Jiayi also took off his leather jacket and goose down jacket. He couldn't do it without taking it off! The temperature is too high.
As for the two cousins and the cousin, they also took off their thick cotton clothes.
Because Li Jiayi got a lot of special cotton coupons before the weather got cold, Li Aimin bought them and gave them to him.
Although this year’s weather is a cold winter that only happens once in a century, it did not freeze them.
The thick cotton-padded clothes worn by each of them are made of special-grade cotton, which is enough even to make cotton-padded clothes for adults.
While Li Jiayi was chatting with his grandfather and uncle, his grandma and aunt had already prepared the meal.
Because there were so many people, grandma stewed a big goose directly, as well as fried eggs with tomatoes and fried meat with peppers.
The staple food is rice. This is the polished rice brought by Li Jia, and it smells delicious.
Originally grandma planned to make white flour steamed buns, but she didn’t have enough time, so she had to make them at night.
Northerners still prefer to eat pasta, especially steamed buns.
But even this is already very good, this is polished rice! The nutritional value may not be comparable to brown rice, but the taste is several times better than brown rice.
While eating, the two cousins suddenly evolved into rice cooks, which may be the reason why they haven’t seen meat and fish for a long time.
Fortunately, this is stewed with goose, and the oil and water are incomparable with pork. Otherwise, it would be strange not to have diarrhea if we eat it this way.
I finished the meal very quickly, whether it was rice or vegetables, I ate them all.
“You two look like you are useless.” The uncle said, glaring at the two cousins.
After hearing what the uncle said, grandma was not happy and said, "I don't think you are much better than them."
Guarding calves has always been grandma's patent.
"Mom, I just asked them to learn from Jiayi. Look at them now, they probably can't stand up." The uncle said aggrievedly.
"My eldest grandson is not short of money and money. How can they compare? Do you have the ability to make them not short of money and water?"
"Uh! I..." The uncle didn't know what to say. .
The uncle did not drink wine during the lunch meal, mainly because the old man did not drink either.
Although there is good food, the old man does not have the habit of drinking at noon.
Grandpa made a large enamel jar of tea at this time, using tea leaves brought by Li Jia.
After brewing, Li Jiayi poured an enamel jar out and started drinking it himself.
As for the uncle, he did not have this kind of treatment. He could only brew an enamel jar of jasmine tea.
But this is already a good thing for him, you know, the old man is usually reluctant to drink it!
Now that there is a better one, he can drink this, otherwise he won’t even have this.
"You two brats, stand up and walk around." The old man shouted to the two cousins.
The living room was very warm, so the uncle and the others did not go back after dinner.
I have to eat here at night anyway, so why go back?
Grandma said at this time: "When you go back, take some of the pork suet and meat back."
"Ah! Mom, we can't have this. It's okay to eat some here, eat and take. It doesn’t make sense no matter what.” The aunt shook her head and said.
"How come you can't explain it?"
"Mom, these are Jiayi's filial piety to you and dad. What's going on if we take them back?" The aunt shook her head again.
PS: Brothers and sisters, please get some monthly passes! Thanks!
