Chapter 157 Children, don’t be greedy, it’s the New Year after Laba
“Second sister, you are so good, you can eat the leftovers from me.”
“Che, since childhood When you get older, should I eat less of your leftovers?”
It seems right to hear her say that!
Li Jiayi has been the treasure of the family since he was a child, and he always sticks to him for all the delicious food.
Sometimes there is leftover food that is too much to finish. The eldest sister is reluctant to eat it, so it falls into the mouth of the second sister.
So she doesn’t dislike it at all. She has been used to it since she was a snack.
Soon, half of the peach was eaten by the second sister. Then she looked at Li Jiayi and asked: "Brother, are there any more?"
"Yes! What are you doing?"< br>
"Where is it?" After saying that, he quickly started flipping through the pages.
"Okay, don't turn it over. It's gone today. I'll bring you a bag tomorrow so you can eat it well."
"Really?" the second sister asked with shining eyes.
"Of course."
"Hahaha, I know my brother is the best to me, thank you brother."
"You're welcome."
"Then I'm going down, you can have a good rest!"
After saying that, the second sister Li Jialin walked out, taking away half a bucket of Golden Chicken biscuits.
Li Jiayi shook his head, took out another bucket of golden chicken biscuits and placed it on the spot, then took out another peach and started to nibble on it.
In a daze, Li Jiayi fell asleep. He was woken up by his mother because he wanted to have lunch.
By the time he washed his face and came downstairs, everyone had already sat down and was waiting for him alone.
Needless to say, lunch was pork ribs, fresh pork ribs, stewed in a large enamel basin.
There is also an enamel basin of tomato and egg soup.
The staple food is steamed buns. To be honest, under normal circumstances, Li Jiayi prefers rice for such a dish.
But in the north, pasta is the main food, so basically every meal is steamed buns. Even if you don’t have the conditions, you will still eat steamed buns.
Although Li Jiayi was not from the South in his previous life, he was the type who could handle both rice and noodles.
It’s okay to eat noodles for ten and a half days in a row, and it’s okay to eat rice for ten and a half days in a row.
Li Aimin took out a bottle of fine wine, opened it, poured a glass for Liao Kai and said: "Xiao Kai, you have worked hard today, you have to drink a few more glasses."
"Okay. Brother Li, as long as you don't feel bad about your good wine."
"It doesn't matter. I'll ask my son for how much we drink today." Li Aimin looked indifferent.
This left Li Jiayi speechless. What does it have to do with me if you two drink.
But he soon understood that it was equivalent to his father and Uncle Liao working for him today!
The food and drink are not his own, so it is normal for his father to ask him to make up for the wine.
But don’t think about it, why do you work? It’s not just because there’s delicious food.
But although Li Jiayi knew it, he didn't say anything because it didn't matter to him.
Even if his father and Uncle Liao don't help him with the work, he can still eat and drink, but the wine he drinks is still his own.
"By the way, son, this is the money Director Xu paid for buying pork." Mom took out a wad of money and handed it over.
"Mom, just keep this money! Buy whatever you like later, and treat it as my filial piety to you."
Hearing Li Jiayi's words, Ye Xin was stunned for a moment , this is one hundred and fifty yuan!
It was higher than her three-month salary. She knew that her son had some money, but she really didn’t know how much.
But the one hundred and fifty yuan made her know that the money in her son's hands was far more than what she thought.
At this time, Li Aimin, who was sitting opposite him, said, "Son! If you don't want this money, you can give it to me and I'll hold it for you."
"You stay aside." Ye Xin He glared at Li Aimin.
"Son, are you sure you want to give me this money? Do you still have a lot of money?"
"Don't worry, Mom, although I don't have much money, it is definitely enough. , just take it and use it!”
One hundred and fifty yuan is not a small amount to anyone, but to Li Jiayi, it is really nothing.
If you just go to the pigeon market, you don't know how many hundred and fifty you can get.
"Okay, mom will save it for you and use it to get a wife later."
If someone else said this, they would definitely be lying to children, just like the money an adult uses to coax children during the Chinese New Year. Same.
But when it came out of Ye Xin's mouth, it was absolutely true. She would really help Li Jiayi save it.
Li Jiayi is the only boy in the family. Not to mention the money, it is the money she and Li Aimin earn from working, and it will also belong to Li Jiayi in the future.
You know, since childhood, only Li Jiayi has received the New Year's money by himself. The two sisters' New Year's money has been taken away by their mother under various excuses.
"Come on, son, Mom will serve you a bowl of ribs."
"Mom, you eat yours, don't worry about me, I will do it myself." Li Jiayi quickly picked up the bowl said.
"Okay, you can serve it yourself!"
At this time, Liao Kai and Li Aimin clinked a glass. After drinking, he put the glass down and asked: "Plus one! What about those sewage and pig heads? Everything is sorted out, what are you going to do?”
"Uncle Liao, you can just braise it. If the pot is not big enough, use our pot, braise it and we can eat it together."
"Okay, I understand." After three rounds of wine and food, Wuwei, Li Aimin drank a little too much and went back to the house to rest.
Knowing that there was still work to do in the afternoon, Liao Kai did not drink much.
The pig offal and pig heads are braised at Li Jia’s family. This is because the pot at Liao Kai’s family is relatively small and cannot be braised so much.
Unless you do it twice or three times.
That would be more troublesome. Fortunately, Li Jiayi and his family have a large family, and the big pot inside is relatively large, so they can finish the stew in one go.
The most important thing is that there are still people lighting fires. Yes, both Li Jiaqi and Li Jialin can light fires.
This way he can relax a lot. In fact, the most important thing is that no one will come over to Li Jia's family.
If this happened at his house, there would probably be a lot of people hanging around in front of his house to see if they could do anything good.
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and at this time, it was already January 6, 1959.
Although the New Year has not yet been celebrated, it has already arrived in the era of 1959.
Ye Xin had already gotten up before dawn. In future generations, this day of Laba may not be a big deal.
But at this time, Laba is a very important day.
The reason why Ye Xin got up so early was, of course, to cook Laba porridge for her family.
In the north, the day of Laba is very important. When some old people coax their children, they will say, "Don't be greedy, my child. After Laba, it will be the New Year."
On Laba Day, we not only make Laba porridge, but also Laba noodles and Laba garlic.
Of course, this is only talking about the north, and the south will basically not take it seriously.
Today’s Laba porridge has a complete set of ingredients, because these were all prepared by Li Jiayi.
Compared with previous years, it is completely different. In previous years, Laba porridge had at most two or three ingredients, but this year there are seven or eight.
However, the ingredients for the Laba porridge were prepared by Li Jiayi, even the ingredients for the Laba garlic to be pickled.
Laba garlic is a good thing! Sterilize and disinfect, if pickled well, it will come out green.
Actually, Li Jiayi has already marinated a lot in the space. He used the glass jar of White Rabbit toffee to marinate three jars.
There is also sugar garlic. To be honest, Li Jiayi likes this very much, so he also pickled some.
Anyway, he is not short of garlic, there are piles of it in the space.
Don't think that garlic is easy to buy. This thing is also rationed and the quantity is very small.
However, the ticket for buying garlic is not called a garlic ticket, but a green onion ticket. With the ticket, you can buy a small amount of onions, ginger and garlic.
You can buy them both, or you can buy one of them, but the weight is the same.
You can imagine how difficult life is at this time. Even onions, ginger, and garlic are rationed, not to mention anything else.
But Li Jia’s family doesn’t need it. He just takes out some and it is enough for the family to eat for a long time.
Especially green onions, Li Jiayi always brings them out in bundles, which is enough for making dumplings and steamed buns.
Pork scallions, beef scallions, or mutton scallions are all great.
Some people eat a green onion for several days, cut a little and put it in when cooking, but they actually use it for stuffing.
Because of Laba, Li Jiayi had no intention of going out and was lying in bed under the covers at this time.
Then I heard a knock on the door.
"Brother, get up quickly. Mom has cooked Laba porridge for you to get up and drink."
Fortunately, he would lock the door when he went to sleep, otherwise the second sister would dare to come in and lift his quilt.
"I know, get up now."
"Oh!" Li Jiayi sighed and said, "I can't even sleep for a little longer."
He quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and then walked downstairs.
As for washing up, he had already finished washing up in the space. Not only that, he also took a shower.
He didn't want to get up, but he knew that if he didn't get up again, the second sister would come and call him.
I have to get up anyway, so I might as well get up early to save myself the trouble.
When he came down from upstairs, a half-enamel basin of Laba porridge was already placed on the table.
There are also steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables and small pickles. Of course, boiled eggs are also included.
This is not the previous small egg, not much bigger than a quail egg, but a large egg that Li Jiayi took out from the space.
In the past, eggs weighed thirteen or four per catty, but now these eggs weigh up to seven or eight per catty, and some even weigh six or seven per catty.
"Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while." Ye Xin said when she saw him coming down.
If there is no fireplace, this is really the case. Now that there is a fireplace in the house, the smell is more than 20 degrees, how can it get cold so easily!
However, Li Jiayi agreed, filled a bowl with Laba porridge, and sat down to eat the vegetables and drink the porridge.
January 16, 1959, is a Friday, which means we have truly entered the year of 1959.
Of course, this is based on the solar calendar. In fact, people still calculate according to the lunar calendar. For example, a child born now will be born on December 8, 1958, not January 16, 1959. Number.
Although your zodiac sign does not change, many people become one year older for no reason. Even if you register in future generations, your zodiac signs will also change.
Because your date is December 8, 1958, he will calculate it for you according to the solar calendar. There is no way, it will be like this in future generations.
Of course, this is only part of it, there are many people born in the middle of the year, both in the same year according to the lunar calendar or the solar calendar.
PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
