Chapter 216 Helping the Street Office Solve Problems
It took Liao Kai more than two hours to read through these two packages, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Three of the bottles and jars are real, including the previous one, two of the calligraphy and paintings are real, and there are also three or four trinkets that are real.
The rest were all fake, which made Li Jiayi speechless. He didn’t expect that so many things, only these few were real.
The proportion of fakes was too high, more than 90% fakes, which made him wonder, could he buy things on the black market?
Fortunately, these things were not bought with tickets or money, otherwise he would be heartbroken.
Although some are genuine, most of them are not of high value. If placed in an antique trust store, they will basically be exchanged for foreign exchange.
"Uncle Liao, thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, why is this so hard?" Liao Kai said indifferently.
“Here, you have a cigarette.” Li Jia took out a box of the special Zhonghua and handed it over directly.
This made Li Aimin's mouth twitch. He now knew that this cigarette was a good thing.
It's a pity that it's too late. He has already finished what Li Jiayi gave him, and he won't give it to him if he asks for it again.
Unexpectedly, I gave Liao Kai a pack today.
If it were anything else, Liao Kai would definitely be humble, but this made him unable to be humble or refuse.
After Liao Kai left, Li Jia really picked it up and walked upstairs.
As for the fake ones, just throw them back into the yard. Some of them can even be placed in the house as vases.
"Son!"
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then stopped and asked in confusion: "Dad, what else do you want?"
"That son! Do you still have the cigarettes you gave your Uncle Liao just now? Give dad a pack."
Li Jiayi shook his head, took out a pack from his pocket and threw it over.
"Save your cigarettes, this is one less cigarette."
"Hey, hey, I got it, don't worry, son, I promise to smoke this pack of cigarettes for three months."
"Three months?" Li Jiayi looked at his father in surprise.
Smoking one cigarette in three days won’t last three months!
Li Jiayi shook his head, said nothing, and went upstairs to rest with his things.
Because tomorrow is Sunday and he doesn't have to go to school, he doesn't go to bed that early.
Entering the space and going through the daily process, Li Jiayi started to make something again.
But this time I am not making spicy strips or peanuts and melon seeds, but I am planning to make a batch of beef jerky.
The main reason is that there is too much beef in the space. For such a long time, the pork has been sold, but the beef has not been sold.
In this case, he is going to make beef jerky from the beef. In this era of meat shortage, this thing is definitely easy to sell.
After working for more than two hours, Li Jiayi took a shower and rested.
But the biological clock still made him wake up at 5:30, punch Taizu Changquan ten times in the space, drink some spiritual spring water to replenish his energy, and then take a bath.
Putting on clean clothes, Li Jiayi came out of the space.
"Good morning, eldest sister."
"Good morning, little brother. Why do you feel that you are a little different today?" The eldest sister asked doubtfully.
"What's the difference?"
"In the past, when you woke up in the morning, you could only call me "sister" to say hello. What happened today?"
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned. After thinking about it for a while, it’s true.
"Sister, I am happy because of today."
"Happy? What is there to be happy about?"
"Sister, you forgot, those things last night..."
The eldest sister said as if she suddenly understood: "Oh! I understand, okay, I'll go cook with mom."
>"Yeah!"
After breakfast, Li Jiayi drove a tricycle out of home. Although he didn't go to school today, he had no plans to go to the pigeon market or sell juice.
He wanted to walk around the Forty-Nine City today. It has been more than eleven years since he came to this era, and he has not really seen the Forty-Nine City.
Especially in the current Sijiu City, it is a pity that there are no cameras or video recorders, otherwise the imperial capital at this time must be recorded.
After arriving on the street, Li Jiayi obviously noticed that there were many more people wearing rags.
Actually, there were already many of them a few months ago, but there were not that many of them. Especially in recent times, there have suddenly been many such people in the Imperial Capital.
Others may not know what happened, but Li Jiayi knew that this was someone who had escaped from famine.
Maybe it was because he walked around the street specifically today that he thought it was a little more.
These people who escaped from famine are also suffering people. Although Li Jiayi sympathized with them, he had no intention of helping.
It’s not that he is cruel, but he can’t help at all, there are too many people!
This still requires the country to take action. No matter how capable an individual is, he cannot be stronger than the country.
The morning passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Jiayi actually wandered outside all morning, which was impossible before.
Because he has this time, he will make some money no matter what.
Unknowingly, Li Jiayi drove a tricycle to the street office.
The subdistrict office now is different from before. In the past, apart from the staff, there were very few people here.
But now, the entire street office is full of people, but they are basically people who have fled.
I guess Aunt Xu is exhausted every day now! With so many people coming in from outside the city, it’s impossible to drive them out!
It is even more impossible not to give them food. No matter how poor the food is, there must be some. At least they cannot starve to death, otherwise they will be in big trouble.
Seeing this, Li Jia thought for a moment and drove his tricycle toward the street office.
"Uncle, I'm looking for Director Xu." Li Jiayi said, passing a cigarette to the gatekeeper. "Go in! Director Xu is in the backyard."
"Okay."
The front yard is where the office is, and the back yard is just some empty rooms. Of course, this means It was before.
Li Jia drove his tricycle directly to the backyard and suddenly felt a little numb.
Because the entire backyard is full of sheds, some with plastic sheets and some with torn canvas.
Director Xu is arranging for people to cook porridge.
"Director Xu." Li Jiayi shouted.
"Jiayi, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"Something happened."
"Okay, I understand. Just wait for me. I'll be right over."
"Yes!" Li Jia nodded.
Li Jia drove his tricycle to the front yard, parked it and waited at the door of Director Xu's office.
About ten minutes, Director Xu came over in a hurry.
While opening the door, he asked: "What do you want from me?"
Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to help you solve the problem."
"To solve the problem, You?”
“Why, it doesn’t look like it?”
“You are here to entertain Aunt Xu, right?”
"Aunt Xu, what I said is true. I am really here to help you solve your problem."
"Okay, then tell me how you can help me solve the problem?"
"Aunt Xu, Are there many women among these people who came here to escape the famine? "
"That's right!" Director Xu nodded and said, "They all live in the house in the backyard."
The sheds in the backyard are all for men. The woman and children lived in the house in the backyard.
"Do the women in the industry basically have no family or relatives?"
"Yeah!"
"There are a lot of children, right? And many of them have no parents."
"Yes!" Director Xu nodded again.
“Aunt Xu, how many bachelors are there in our Xinjiekou street who have not married a wife?”
"Uh! There are many."
"Tell me, how many families without children are there in our street? I'm talking about the kind that can't have children."
Hearing this, Director Xu His eyes lit up, he looked at Li Jiayi and said, "I'm going to tell you how your kid's head grew."
At this time, if Director Xu still doesn't understand what Li Jiayi is talking about, I mean, her job as director was in vain.
“Aunt Xu, I only remembered it after seeing so many people. It’s nothing.”
"What's not to say? You have helped Aunt Xu a lot."
"By the way, Aunt Xu, are there any young and beautiful people who have escaped from famine?"
" Brat, what are you doing?”
Looking at Director Xu’s expression, Li Jiayi still didn’t know what she was thinking. He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and said, “Aunt Xu, what are you thinking? I’m still a child.”
"Then why do you ask this?"
"Oh, isn't this my Uncle Liao! He's already twenty-seven and he still doesn't have a wife. I'm wondering if I can help him choose one."
"Are you talking about Liao Kai?"
“Yes, Aunt Xu, you also know what Uncle Liao is like. Normally, it might be difficult for him to find a wife, but you and I both understand what’s going on and what Uncle Liao is like. "
Director Xu frowned and said: "This is true, but there is no way, the policy above is like this."
"But Uncle Liao's conditions are good. ! As the saying goes, a cook will never die of hunger. Anyone who follows him will definitely enjoy good fortune, and marrying someone who has escaped from famine can neutralize his status. ”
"In this way, you can go to the backyard with me to see if there is anything suitable. If so, I will tell you about it here and leave it to you over there."
"Okay." Li Jiayi He nodded quickly.
Li Jia and Liao Kai are looking for a wife, and they must find a good one! And it's the first choice.
As for the latter, Director Xu will definitely bring the bachelors on the street over and let them choose. As long as the woman agrees, then there will be no problem.
As soon as Li Jia followed Director Xu to the backyard, he opened the door of the first room.
As soon as the door opened, everyone in the room looked over.
There were many people, including women and children. There were more than twenty people in just such a house.
There are no beds or anything like that, they are all on the floor.
When these women and children looked over, Li Jiayi also looked at these people, and then shook his head at Director Xu.
The meaning is obvious, it is not taken lightly.
Then Director Xu took Li Jiayi to open the second, third, and fifth rooms. When he saw a young girl with red lips and white teeth in the crowd, Li Jiayi's eyes lit up.
This girl looks to be in her twenties. Although she is dressed in tatters, she looks very clean.
PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
