Chapter 251 Visiting relatives and bringing food rations
Li Jiayi rubbed the little girl’s head and said, “You’re welcome.”
For this cousin who is two years younger than him, Li Jiayi Still like it very much.
Be well-behaved and sensible.
At this time, cousin Li Chengqian came over, pulled Li Jiayi to the side and asked: "Jiayi, there is nothing to do today, let's go for a walk in the mountains!"
"I'm not going."
"Uh! What's wrong?" Li Chengqian asked without knowing why.
"Brother, do you want to go to the mountains to hunt wild boars?"
"Yes!" Li Chengqian nodded.
"Brother, just do this once. Don't think about doing it often, because good luck will not follow you all the time."
"But..."
"Stop it, it's the New Year, why don't we celebrate the New Year together as a family? Why are we running into the mountains."
"Okay then."
Actually, Li Chengqian just wanted to go hunting wild boars in the mountains. Of course, it would be better if he could catch them.
"By the way, brother, how are you going to school?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Just like that! And there are fewer and fewer people going to school now."
"Fewer and fewer? What do you mean?"
"They are the classmates in our class before. There are more than fifty students, but by the time of winter vacation, there are only more than twenty people. "Ah! What about those students before?" Li Jiayi asked.
“I don’t know, the teacher also went to those classmates’ homes to look for them, but he didn’t know what was going on, so he left it alone, and the teacher didn’t say what was going on.”
"Okay!"
Others may not know what's going on, but Li Jiayi knows!
I definitely don’t have enough to eat. I even say that I can’t go to school because I don’t have enough to eat.
Just kidding, why should I go to school if I can’t even eat? Isn't it good to stay at home? Inactivity can also reduce consumption.
This is the case not only in rural communes, but also in cities.
Many students who used to be particularly active now stay in the classroom.
You can say that you can stay still as long as you can. Some students even asked for leave. Li Jiayi didn't know how long this class could last.
He doesn't care, he can go to school every day, but many teachers and students have become weak one by one.
Especially for teachers, there are many who cannot even persist in a single class.
You must know that teaching is also a physical job! Walking around the podium, writing and drawing.
"By the way, brother, after you graduate from junior high school, do you plan to go to high school or technical secondary school?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "I won't go to anything."
"Why? ? "
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "With my academic performance, it is impossible for me to pass the exam, whether it is a technical secondary school or a high school, so I might as well forget it!"
" Okay!”
Li Chengqian's words made Li Jiayi have to think about something.
If my cousin has only finished junior high school, then he must find a way to find a job for him.
Although my cousin will not give it to children in the city, they need to go to the mountains and countryside, but if you have a job, you can eat commercial food!
It will be much easier to find a wife in the future. Besides, even if you go to the city, you are not far from home.
Also, graduating from junior high school is already very good. You must know that many people have not even finished elementary school.
With a junior high school diploma and my connections, it was easy to find a formal job for my cousin.
Even if you don’t have a junior high school diploma, it’s not a problem, but it’s a bit difficult to get to the administrative level.
Li Jiayi turned his head and looked at his second cousin, a little helpless. His second cousin was two years older than him and would only enter the first grade of junior high school this fall.
At the side of the eldest sister, second sister and cousin, Li Jialin asked: "Eldest sister and second sister, are there still classes in your school now?"
"Come on! What's the matter?"
"Our school may not be able to hold classes."
"Why?" asked the second sister.
“I don’t know, I just heard what the teacher said, it seems like there is a holiday.”
“A holiday?”
“Yeah!”
"It's okay. It's a holiday. You can study at home."
"Big sister and second sister, if it's a holiday, can I study with the eldest sister and second sister?"
>Hear Xiaoya When the head asked, Li Jiaqi thought for a while and said, "It depends on whether we have a holiday. If we don't have a holiday, you won't be able to study with us!"
"That's right!" The little girl wrinkled in distress. Wrinkled his nose.
"Okay, after your school vacation, you will write to the eldest sister. If the eldest sister also has a vacation, she will come to pick you up then." Li Jiaqi touched the little girl's head and said.
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded.
Unknowingly, it was noon, and grandma and the others had already prepared the meal.
The food was very sumptuous, and in Li Chengqian’s words, it was better than the ones eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Of course, the New Year he is talking about is not now, but the night of the thirties.
Whether it is rural or urban, the most important day of the New Year is the 30th, and the night of the 30th is the top priority.
This is normal. Although the evening of the 30th is very important and belongs to the reunion dinner, their family is not reunited. Only today is the real reunion.
The old man is also happy today! He also took out two bottles of the good wine given to him by his eldest grandson. You should know that he shouldn't think about it at other times.
You must know that the eldest grandson sent all the good wine, but he hid it all and drank it without giving up.
"Second brother, it seems that dad is very happy today! He brought out all the good wine." "That's right, today is our family reunion! How can we not be happy."
"Oh, it seems that I have taken advantage of you, my second brother. Don't talk about drinking, you can't even see it."
"Brother, you can do it! I heard that plus one is given to our father. I got a lot of good cigarettes, and you smoked most of them."
"Yes! I can only hold a pack from time to time, and I smoked most of them." Li Aiguo curled his lips.
"Uh! Okay!"
"Come on, grandson, I'll give you this chicken thigh." The old lady put a chicken thigh into Li Jia's bowl.
"Grandma, just eat it yourself. Don't worry about me. I'll do it myself."
"Well! Grandma will pick it up for you this time, and you can pick it up yourself later."
"Okay."
Then grandma picked up another chicken thigh and said to Li Jiafen: "Come on, girl, this is yours."
"Thank you, grandma."
A total of two chicken thighs were given to the two youngest members of the family. In this case, no one could say anything.
No one will say anything because they are used to it.
In the Li Jia family, Li Jiayi has always been the most precious one in the family. No matter what delicious food, Li Jiayi must be kept close to him.
Similarly, in the uncle's family, cousin Li Jiafen is also the most precious one, and the two cousins will not argue with her.
“Come, eat vegetables.” The old lady took vegetables to the two daughters-in-law.
"Mom, we can do it ourselves, and you can eat too."
"Okay, eat them all."
The family finished lunch in this warm atmosphere.
After dinner, my mother Ye Xin and my aunt Liu Xiaocui went to clean up.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Li Jiayi ran out to play with his two cousins.
Of course, we just play in the village. In Lijia Village, Li Jiayi is very popular.
No matter where he goes, someone greets him, even those who are senior to him.
Of course, Li Jiayi is not an impolite person, and he will shout whatever he needs to say.
"Brother, is Grandpa Six's house in front of you?" Li Jiayi asked, pointing to a small courtyard.
"Yes!" Li Chengqian nodded.
"Big brother and second brother, you go somewhere else to play first. I'll go to Grandpa Six's house to have a look."
There's no way! He had to keep his two cousins away, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get things out of the space.
"Jiayi, let's go with you!"
"No, I'm just chatting with Grandpa Six, so don't follow me. I'll go find you later."< br>
The two cousins were young at heart and didn't like chatting with old people, so they nodded and said, "Okay, let's go find Goudan and Erhu. You can come over soon."
"Okay."
After his cousin and the others left, Li Jia found a place to carry people, turned his hands, and found an extra net bag in his hand.
There are two pounds of pork, two pounds of pork suet, two pounds of sesame paste, and two pounds of sesame salt in the net bag.
In addition to these, there are two bottles of Maotai liquor, two bottles of Xifeng liquor, and two cigarettes at Daqianmen.
Li Jiayi didn’t take more, not out of reluctance, but because Grandpa Six was alone.
Two kilograms of pork is enough for him to eat for a few days. As for the two kilograms of pork suet, the refined oil will be enough for him to eat for half a year.
People today’s consumption of oil is different from that of later generations! Many are dipped with chopsticks.
As for why he got all the good wine, there is no way, because there is no bad wine in his space!
It seems that I will buy some Erguotou or something to put in the space in the future.
Li Jiayi didn’t know if Grandpa Six went to the commune today. If he did, he would have to come back at night.
Arriving at the door of Grandpa Six's house, Li Jiayi patted the door.
Although Grandpa Six is alone, he lives in three main rooms and a side room.
It’s just that he lives in a rough house, and the roof is not made of tiles, but of thatch.
"Who is it?" Grandpa Six's voice came from the house.
“Grandpa Six, it’s me.”
The door opened quickly, and Grandpa Six appeared in front of him with a smile on his face.
"It's little Jiayi! Come in quickly."
"Grandpa Six, why didn't you go to the commune today?" Li Jiayi asked as he walked into the house.
“Well, now in Nianjing, there are no relatives to visit during the New Year. Why should I go to the commune?”
“Ugh!”
This is something Li Jiayi didn't expect, but it's true, you can't go empty-handed when visiting relatives! But in this age, there is nothing to take with you to visit relatives.
In this case, it is better not to leave.
And when visiting relatives, you always have to eat, and they don’t have anything to entertain you. If you go, it will be a burden to them.
Not only in the countryside, but also in the city, girls have to bring food rations with them when they go to their parents' home.
There is no way, they all eat rations. If you take your children to have a meal, your parents may be hungry for several days.
Because it takes a few days to save what you eat, otherwise you won’t be able to renew.
When he came into the room, Li Jia put the things he carried on the Eight Immortals table and said, "Grandpa Six, I didn't bring anything for you, so I brought you these."
PS: Love is always the same across thousands of rivers and mountains. Can I give you a monthly pass?
