Chapter 176 You are really my father!
Two yuan doesn’t seem like much, but don’t forget, cornmeal only costs seven cents a pound.
These two yuan can buy almost thirty kilograms of cornmeal.
Of course, just having money is not enough, you also need to use food books or food stamps.
If you include the price of food stamps, these two yuan can only buy a little more than ten kilograms of cornmeal.
Cornmeal is a coarse grain, but coarse grain stamps also cost ten cents a pound.
And the price is still the same now. It is estimated that it will not be long before the price of even coarse grain stamps will increase several times.
Passing through the moon gate in the middle courtyard, Li Jia turned his head and said, "Sister, you go back first, I'll go to Uncle Liao's place."
"Yes! Go ahead."
After the eldest sister returned home, Li Jiayi came to the door of Liao Kai's house, because Liao Kai now commutes by bicycle and will come back earlier than him.
Just like before, he pushed the door open directly, and Liao Kai was cutting vegetables. He knew it was Li Jiayi without even turning his head.
"What are you doing here?"
"Uncle Liao, if you say that, I will leave."
"Uh!" Liao Kai quickly raised the knife Put it down, turned around and looked at him and said: "No! Sit down quickly."
"That's pretty much it."
After speaking, Li Jiayi pulled up a bamboo chair and sat down. He placed his schoolbag on Xiao Baxian's table and took out a cloth bag from his schoolbag.
“Don’t tell me, kid, are there peanuts in this?” Liao Kai said in disbelief as he looked at the bag.
"That's right, the peanuts you want are not much, only ten pounds."
"Hiss!" Liao Kai took a breath and said, "You kid can do it! Come back with so many peanuts.”
Peanuts are a good thing! And peanut stamps are harder to get.
Ordinary people can only buy half a pound of shelled peanuts with a voucher during the Chinese New Year.
You can see from here how difficult it is to get this peanut ticket.
Of course, this is only for ordinary people. For some people, this peanut ticket is just that.
"How about it? Is it enough for you to drink for a while?"
"That's enough, that's enough." Liao Kai nodded quickly.
Just kidding, this is ten pounds of peanuts! Even if you drink one drink and eat two taels, that's enough to drink fifty times.
"That's enough, tell me when you don't have any more."
"Yeah!"
Neither of the two asked for money, because there was no need. Even if Liao Kai gives money, Li Jiayi will not take it.
Despite this, Liao Kai will not let Li Jiayi suffer. It is estimated that he will go to Liulichang again this Sunday.
This didn't matter to him. Anyway, if he didn't help Li Jia dig out the antiques, he would come over directly.
He only has this little fun now. He paid for it anyway, so it doesn’t matter if others find out.
Of course, this is talking about now. In a few years, no one will care whether you bought it yourself.
After leaving Liao Kai’s house, Li Jiayi returned home.
First say hello to Ma Li who is cooking in the kitchen, and then enter the main room.
Li Aimin was the only one sitting there drinking tea in the main room. When he saw him coming back, he waved to her quickly.
"Dad, what are you doing again?"
Li Jiayi is now used to it. As long as his father waves to him, nothing good will happen.
"You kid, I asked you to sit down and drink tea."
Li Jiayi curled his lips and didn't believe what he said at all, but he sat down anyway.
Anyway, whether he sits or not, the end result is the same.
Li Jiayi took the enamel jar handed over by Li Aimin and said, "Tell me! What happened this time?"
"Son, the radio tickets and sewing tickets in your hand are Isn’t that much?”
Sure enough.
He knew that there was absolutely no good thing coming from his father.
"Dad, is the son of one of your comrades getting married this time?" Li Jiayi asked speechlessly.
"No, no, this time someone asked me to buy a ticket, so I asked you."
Li Jiayi frowned and asked: "I said dad, why are others looking for you?" You bought the ticket! You didn’t say anything to others, did you? ?”
Li Aimin reached out and hit Li Jiayi on the head and said, “Do you think I am such a stupid person?”
Li Jiayi didn’t answer him, just stared at him. Look, the meaning is obvious, that is, it is almost the same.
"You brat, that's not true. I don't know who spread the news about buying radios and sewing machines for our family. My colleagues asked me where I got the tickets, so..."
< br>"So you told others about my exchange of tickets from Pigeon Market?"
Hearing Li Jiayi's words, Li Aimin scratched his head in embarrassment.
"But that's not right! Even if you tell others this, they won't ask you to buy tickets?"
Li Aimin said weakly at this time: "I'll tell them that , you will get more tickets in return.”
"Pfft!" Li Jiayi spit out all the tea he had just taken into his mouth.
"You are really my father." Li Jiayi said speechlessly.
Actually, Li Jiayi was not angry. Anyway, his tickets were all exchanged, so there was no problem.
And some of them have expired. If someone really wants to buy them, some of them can be sold.
"Son, do you still have some? Give me a few if you have them, and I will give you the money later."
"You can pull it off and give me the money later. I guess I gave you the return ticket and I can't see the money."
It can only be said that Li Jiayi knows his father very well and thinks about it all day long. Hiding private money. Unfortunately, after hiding it for a while, my mother will find it and confiscate it all.
Forget it once or twice, I don’t know how many times, but he still hides, and he never tires of it.
This makes people speechless. Do we have to compete, or do we have to win once before we can give up?
"Son, what do you mean by this? Is your father and I like this?"
This time Li Jiayi did not give him face and said directly: "You are."
" You..."
"Okay, you can get a ticket if you want, just give me the money first, and then I'll give you the ticket."
"Son, you hurt my heart so much. ”
Li Jiayi didn't answer him, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, okay, I agreed, you tell me the price of the ticket, and I will let them get the money later."
Li Jia glanced at Li Aimin and said: "I'll give you the bicycle ticket." I won’t say it anymore, you know the price.”
“Yes!” Li Aimin nodded.
“The price of sewing tickets is from 50 to 70. Different brands have different prices. You have to ask them what brand they want.”
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow."
"The watch tickets are all the same. There's no difference between this one. The prices are all 40 yuan each."
"The last thing is the radio ticket. This one is the same as the one for the radio ticket." The price of a watch ticket is fifty-one.”
Although the price of radios varies, there is no special ticket. As long as you have a ticket, you can buy any brand you want.
The same applies to watch tickets.
There is only a difference between a bicycle ticket and a sewing ticket, and naturally, the price is also different.
"Well, after you say hello and give me the money, I will give you the ticket."
"No problem."
Look at how excited he is , Li Jiayi knew that he would never work in vain.
Not to say 100%, but at least 80 or 90% sure, he benefited from it.
But it doesn't matter to him, as long as he gets his share.
As for the suggestion that his father engaged in reselling, that does not exist at all.
This is just a transfer. Even if the price is higher, it is normal. After all, things are in short supply!
If you don’t give me more money, who will transfer it to you? What a joke!
"Dad, do you have anything else to do?"
"It's gone."
"Since it's gone, I'll go upstairs to have a rest and come down for dinner later."
"Go!"
Go back upstairs , Li Jia locked the door from the inside and entered the space.
Take out some watermelons from the still space and make watermelon juice.
And this time he also plans to make iced watermelon juice. Anyway, there are a lot of ice cubes in his space, so he can just consume some of it.
However, the price of this ice cream can’t be the same as before. At least it’s a dime more per pot, right?
Ten minutes later, Li Jia sent a handful of prepared watermelon juice into the still space and came out of the space.
At this time, the meal was ready. I pretended to wash my hands in the room and came downstairs.
"Son, have you washed your hands?" Ye Xin asked when she saw him coming down.
"Just washed."
"Then sit down and eat."
"Yeah!"
After taking a few bites, Li Jiayi felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. , because he saw that his father did not eat, and he looked troubled.
"What are you doing? Why don't you go?" Ye Xin looked at Li Aimin and asked.
"Mom, what did you want my dad to do?" Li Jiayi asked confused.
"Brother, didn't you say that our family should eat outside like others? And we should eat the same as the people in the courtyard."
"Yes! What's wrong? ”
“Mom said that going out all of a sudden would make people feel uncomfortable. Adapt to it. After all, our family rarely goes out to eat, so let dad take the lead and take our time.” Eating outside with a bowl in hand probably makes people more suspicious.”
"Hmm!"
The next thing is that the whole family looks at Li Aimin.
This made Li Aimin very uncomfortable, so he had to take the only two hard wobou heads in the basin, and then went out with half a bowl of water spinach without any oil or water.
Yes, this half bowl of water spinach was specially prepared by Ye Xin, without adding a drop of oil!
After Li Aimin went out, Ye Xin said: "Okay, let's eat! Just leave some for your dad. I guess he won't be able to eat much when he comes back."
This is true. Two steamed buns and half a bowl of water spinach will definitely fill you up.
If this were the case before, if this little thing had entered Li Aimin's belly, it would have been nothing.
But after almost a year of good food and good food, there is already a lot of oil and water in my stomach, and I can't eat much at all.
I didn’t notice that five people in their family used to cook a large pot of vegetables, but now five people cook only half a pot.
This is the difference between having oil and water and not having oil and water. If there is enough oil and water, you will be full after just eating. Without oil and water, no matter how much you eat, you will feel full.
PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
