Chapter 169 Time flies by
After lunch, Li Jiayi didn’t go out again, not because he didn’t want to, but because he was restrained by his grandma.
Not only that, grandma is still sitting at the door. He can't even go out and still wants to play.
The day passed quickly. Although I stayed here for two nights, I only stayed here for one day.
After breakfast early in the morning, I said goodbye to my grandparents and walked to the entrance of the village to get there early.
Otherwise, Grandpa Six would drive away without seeing anyone. In that case, he might have to stay here for another day.
Although they only stayed for one day, the grandparents were still very happy, and they also knew that Li Aimin and Ye Xin had to go to work.
There is no way, the wool spinning factory has a heavy workload, and the New Year holidays are all under pressure.
Not long after arriving at the entrance of the village, Grandpa Six drove the ox cart over here.
There were already several people on the oxcart. When the car stopped, Li Jiayi and his family quickly got on the oxcart.
"Why don't you stay a few more days before leaving?" Grandpa Six asked.
"Uncle Liu, we can't live here anymore, the factory will start working soon." Li Aimin said helplessly.
"Starting work so soon?"
"Yes! The tasks in the factory are relatively heavy."
"Okay, the work is important."
More than two hours later, the bullock cart arrived at Liucun commune. Li Aimin gave money, but Grandpa Six said he didn't want anything.
There was no other way, Li Aimin could only put the money on the bullock cart and leave.
Anyway, driving oxcarts is Grandpa Six’s business. Since it is a business, there is no reason not to pay him.
If you don’t give money, how can Grandpa Six drive the bullock cart?
Because we arrived early, it would take some time for the bus to leave, so it didn’t matter.
Anyway, there was no problem at all when I got home today.
More than half an hour later, the bus started. After another few hours of bumpy ride, we finally returned to the city.
At this time, it was not far from dark, and the family hurried home.
When they got home, Liao Kai was cooking in the kitchen.
"Brother Li, sister-in-law, I knew you would be back today." Liao Kai said.
Although the family went to visit relatives these two days, Liao Kai still ate at his house.
This was a New Year celebration that we had agreed upon before, so Liao Kai had not prepared anything. If he didn’t eat here, he really had nowhere to go.
“Thank you for your hard work, Xiaokai.” Ye Xin said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I am a chef, and cooking is my job."
"Okay."
"Brother Li, sister-in-law, you must be tired after riding in the car all day. Go wash up and rest for a while. I'll be fine here soon."
"Okay."
"Uncle Liao, today What are you cooking for?" Li Jialin quickly came up and asked.
During the past two days at grandma’s house, she didn’t eat much.
This is normal. Whether it is grandma or mother, including aunt, there is no way to compare with Liao Kai in cooking!
I don’t know if it’s because I kept it in my mouth, but Li Jialin always felt that it wasn’t delicious, so she didn’t eat it properly.
"Tell Uncle Liao what you want to eat?" Liao Kai looked at Li Jialin and asked.
“I want to eat braised pork.”
“No problem, we’ll make arrangements and I’ll make sure you have braised pork after dinner.”
“Yeah! Thank you, Uncle Liao." Li Jialin nodded her thanks.
"Uncle Liao, are there any more big river shrimps?" Li Jiayi came over and asked.
"Yes! I froze all the leftovers from the year before. What, you want to eat shrimps?"
"Hmm!"
"Okay, Leave it to me."
"Okay."
Had a nice dinner, then sauna and bath.
It can wash away all the fatigue.
As soon as Li Jia returned to the house, the first thing he did was to open the door and enter the space.
Collect what needs to be collected, slaughter what needs to be slaughtered, and then send it to the still space.
The next morning, Li Jiayi told his parents and came out of the house. He was going to his master's house.
Of course, he couldn't go to Master's house empty-handed, so he prepared a lot of things. To be honest, it was really a hassle to have so many things.
But he has a sled! He took out the small sled, tied the things he brought behind, and drove the sleigh to the master's house.
Ten minutes later, Li Jiayi arrived at the master's house, got off the sled, went up and patted the door.
The door opened quickly, and senior sister Li Wanting appeared in front of her.
“Hey, why is it you, junior brother?”
"Senior sister, if it's not me, is there someone else here?" Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"That's not true, I just didn't expect it to be you."
"Okay, by the way, is Master here?"
"In the house."
As soon as Li Jia drove the sled into the yard, he began to move things into the house.
"You brat, why did you bring so many things here?" Li Shugen came out of the house and asked.
“Master, we don’t have much, just some food, and there are also tobacco and alcohol prepared for you.”
“You kid, you are emptying out the supply and marketing cooperative. Are you ready?" Li Shugen was speechless as he watched Li Jia move things down one by one.
"No! I didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative. I got it from home."
Li Shugen still didn't understand that he said this on purpose, because he didn't want to raise the issue of the quantity of the things.
Li Wanting smiled at this time and said: "I guess my family won't need to buy anything for half a year."
Of course this is an exaggeration, but Li Jia did bring a lot of things.
Twenty pounds of white flour, twenty pounds of rice, five pounds of pork, five pounds of beef, five pounds of mutton, and five pounds of suet. In addition to these, there are also one chicken, duck and goose each, two bottles specially for Zhonghua, and two bottles specially for Maotai.
When Li Jia took all these down and came to the house, Master asked: "Is everything okay at home?"
"Master, my family is doing well. I just came back from my grandparents' house yesterday. They are also in good health."
"That's good."
"How is your health? "Li Jiayi looked at him up and down when he said this.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm in good health."
"Okay then!"
Li Jiayi didn't leave at noon, not because he didn't want to leave, but because the master wouldn't let him.
I had no choice but to stay and have a meal. Of course the meal was cooked by Master.
The senior sister can also do it, but her skills are obviously not as good as the master’s.
If it’s just the two of them eating, it doesn’t matter who does it, isn’t Li Jiayi here today! So the master cooks by himself.
To be honest, Master's skills are not bad, almost as good as his mother's. He probably got them from so many years of practice.
You must know that the senior sister was still young a few years ago and it was definitely impossible to cook for him, so he had to cook it himself.
After eating, he chatted with his master for a while before Li Jiayi left.
Time flies by, and it’s March in a blink of an eye. The weather in March has begun to warm.
Of course, this warmth is just that the temperature is not that low, and the ice and snow are starting to melt.
In the past two months, Li Jiayi sometimes went out to smash ice, and sometimes went to the pigeon market to sell some meat.
And Li Jiayi and the others have also started school. Yes, school will start after the weather gets warmer.
It’s not that cold now when we go out. Even Li Jiayi has taken off his goose down jacket.
To be honest, Li Jiayi still likes going to school, at least he doesn’t have to do nothing every day.
After eating in the morning, Li Jiayi and his eldest sister rushed to school.
As for the second sister, she also went to elementary school with the two sisters Sun Qingmin.
"Sister, you just need to prepare some vegetables for lunch. I have prepared other dishes." Li Jiayi said at the school gate when they were about to separate.
"I know, go to class quickly! We are a little late today."
"Well! I will go back to class first."
"Go Let’s go!”
When Li Jia came to the class, he was the only one missing in the class.
The fat little black guy was winking at him, and it looked like he hadn't held in his fart well.
"Li Jiayi, you came a little late today?" As soon as he sat down, the little black fat man said.
"Is it late?"
"Late!"
"Is there class now?" Li Jiayi asked with a smile.
"Uh! That's not true." The fat little black man shook his head.
"Since there is no class, why am I late?"
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the little black fat man patted his forehead and said: "That's right! If you don't have class, it doesn't count as coming. It’s too late!”
“Okay, stop playing tricks and tell me! Do you need help?”
When he first came in, he knew that this kid was not holding back. fart.
The fat little black man scratched his head and said: "It's not a big deal, I just want you to do a little favor."
"Let it out."
"Okay, that's it, ask. You eat pig head meat every day, do you have any way to buy it? "
You need to know that even to buy pig head meat, you need a ticket, and one or two tickets can only buy one or two pig heads? Meat.
If this is the case, why do people still buy pig head meat? Wouldn’t it be delicious to buy pork directly?
One thing to be clear about is that pork is raw and pork head meat is cooked. You must know that the meat will shrink after being cooked for a while.
Normally, one pound of meat can only be cooked for seven taels, sometimes even less than seven taels.
If you calculate it this way, it will be more cost-effective for future generations to buy pork head meat.
Don’t just think that pork head meat doesn’t have much oil and water. In fact, pig head meat has a lot of oil and water.
Anyone who has eaten pork head meat knows that there is not much lean meat at all, most of it is fat.
"No way." Li Jiayi shook his head.
“Impossible, how many meat stamps can your family have to allow you to eat pig head meat for lunch every day?”
“I really have no way. As for the pig head meat, I asked someone to help me. "It's marinated."
"Help me marinate it?" The little fat man looked at Li Jiayi in surprise.
"Well! That's it. I've known a hunter for a long time. Every time he hunts a wild boar, he sells it to me, so I can eat pig head meat every day."
< br>
"No, you can buy wild boars, and they come out every once in a while?" The little black fat man was even more surprised this time.
"That's right."
"Why don't I have such good luck?" the little black fat man scratched his hair and said.
“Fat man, it’s useless even if you are lucky.” Li Jiayi said with a smile.
“Why?”
"Because you have no money! You must know that hunters need cash! Do you have the money to buy a wild boar?"
"Uh! This..."
Does the little black fat man's family have money? Lack of money, and this guy also has a lot of pocket money.
But no matter how much it is, it is just pocket money. Let alone buying a wild boar, I probably won’t even be able to buy a pig head.
Can't even buy a pig tail.
PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
