Chapter 253 Back in the city, Director Xu’s awakening
Even the bicycles were loaded onto the tricycle, but they were mounted, but the door could not be closed.
It doesn’t matter, it’s not very far anyway.
As for smashing the steel seal, since I didn’t bring my household registration book, I couldn’t do it. I had to go back and ask my grandfather or uncle to come over and smash it.
When he came over, Li Jiayi also wanted to take the household registration book, but he was afraid that his grandfather would not let him buy it if he knew about it, so he planned to kill it first and then explain it later.
"It might be a bit cold, sit closer to the front." Li Jiayi turned his head and said.
"It's okay, just drive." The cousin said excitedly.
Because he knew that this was the bicycle his cousin bought for his grandfather.
But if you learn how to do it yourself, you won’t be able to refuse if you want to ride Grandpa.
"Then I'll open it."
"Let's drive!"
Li Jia started the tricycle and drove towards the village. He arrived a little late, so he didn't stop.
Otherwise, you have to walk around the streets to see if there are any good snacks.
Li Jiayi has always said that his second sister is a foodie. In fact, he is the same, and even worse.
It’s just that he didn’t lack for food, so he wasn’t exposed. If he were to be the same as the second sister, he would probably not be as good as the second sister.
More than twenty minutes later, the tricycle drove into the courtyard again.
As soon as we parked the car, the cousin got out of the car and shouted into the room: "Grandpa, come out quickly, Jiayi bought you a bicycle."
They There was no reaction from the family when they came back, but when Li Chengqian shouted, everyone came out of the house.
At this time, the cousin had already unloaded the bicycle from the tricycle.
"Grandson, did you just buy this bicycle?" The old man came over and looked at the bicycle and asked.
"Hmm!"
"You kid, why did you buy this thing?" The old man almost didn't stamp his feet.
"Grandpa, you are only in your fifties. In the city, there are people in their sixties or seventies riding bicycles."
Li Aimin nodded at this time and said: "This is true. ”
“I don’t care how old they are when they ride a bicycle, this bike is so expensive! Why did you buy it?”
"Uh!"
"Grandpa, with the bicycle, when you learn how to do it, you can take grandma to the commune when you have nothing to do."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the old man was stunned. After a moment, he turned to look at the old lady.
"Hahaha, okay, not bad, not bad, a good buy." The old man said with a smile.
The change from one to the next is too great, as if they are not the same person.
"By the way, grandpa, because I didn't take the household registration book, the bicycle has not been stamped with the steel seal yet. This is the ticket for buying the bicycle. You can take it and use it when you go back to smash the steel seal."
This ticket is not only for smashing the steel seal. Before the stamp is stamped, this is also the proof of buying a car.
"Okay, I understand." Li Laogen nodded, took the ticket and put it in his pocket.
“I originally wanted to buy two, but this is the only Phoenix bicycle.” Looking at his uncle’s envious eyes, Li Jiayi said.
"Why buy two cars?" the old man asked.
"Buy one for the uncle!"
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the uncle quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I don't want it."
"It's okay, uncle, one It’s just a bicycle, and it doesn’t cost much,” Li Jiayi said nonchalantly.
"Yes, brother, this guy is rich, you don't have to be polite to him." Li Aimin said.
“It’s really not necessary. Besides, there is one right here! If I need it, I can just come to my dad’s place to ride it.”
"Yes, yes!" The old man nodded quickly and said.
"By the way, grandson, I heard that you need a ticket to buy a bicycle. Where did you get the ticket?" the old man asked.
"Dad, this guy is not only not short of money, but also not short of tickets." Li Aimin said.
“Uh!”
In fact, what Li Jiayi wanted to buy most for his grandparents was a radio. It’s just a pity that Lijia Village is too close to the mountains and the radio is not at all I can't find the station.
He still heard this from his grandfather.
The captain did not buy a bicycle before, but bought a radio. Unfortunately, it was of no use at all. He had no choice but to exchange the radio for a bicycle ticket with someone else.
Of course, Li Jiayi believes that it will not take many years for Lijia Village to receive the signal.
It is only temporary that the radio cannot find the station now.
In the next two days, grandma’s house was very busy, and everyone was rushing to learn to ride a bicycle.
No one expected that the slowest learner was not the old man, because he learned it in less than two hours.
On the contrary, Li Aiguo was the slowest to learn. Even though he was very tall, he was the slowest to learn. It took him more than a day before he could barely ride a few steps.
It seems that learning to ride a bicycle has little to do with height. It should be about balance.
Of course, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it. Being tall also has certain benefits.
For example, when my uncle learns to ride a bicycle, he first gets on the bicycle and then pedals.
Although he was a slow learner, he never fell because when he put his feet down, his feet hit the ground and it was impossible to fall.
It was not until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that Li Jiayi and the others returned to the city. There was no other way, the woolen mill would start working tomorrow.
Ye Xin and Li Aiguo have to go to work tomorrow, otherwise they can stay for a few days. But this is enough, this year is the longest year I have lived in these years.
Because I came back in the afternoon, it was already after four o'clock when I got home.
It's already this point, and Li Jiayi doesn't plan to go out again.
Because I have to start work tomorrow, I want to eat something good at night. No, Li Jia called Liao Kai over.
After Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen came over, Liao Kai was responsible for making the bottom of the pot, while Ye Xin, Xu Wenwen and the eldest sister Li Jiaqi were responsible for washing the vegetables.
Yes, I am going to have hot pot in the evening. In order to eat this hot pot, Li Jiayi brought out five or six kinds of vegetables!
This is basically impossible in winter and in a place like the Imperial Capital.
But Li Jiayi did it, not only green vegetables, but also a lot of louvers.
This is not the kind of louver made by technology and hard work, but the kind of louvers that have been cleaned manually.
When Liao Kai finished cooking the bottom of the pot, Li Jia took out a handful of beef and mutton and asked Liao Kai to cut it.
The hot pot meal in the evening was really enjoyable. Needless to say, Li Aimin and Liao Kai drank too much.
Seeing his mother and Xu Wenwen starting to clean up, Li Jiayi went upstairs.
Back in the room, Li Jia locked the door from the inside and entered the space directly.
After going through the process for tomorrow, Li Jiayi took a shower and went to bed.
Because both Li Aimin and Liao Kai drank too much, they did not take a sauna at night.
No words for a night.
After dinner the next morning, Li Aimin and Ye Xin went to work, leaving him and his two sisters alone at home.
"Sister, I'm going out for a while."
"Okay, you go!"
Li Jiayi did not drive a tricycle, but asked Asheng and others to pull a small sled out.
Their family has no relatives in the city, so there is no need to leave.
But Li Jiayi has somewhere to go!
No, as soon as Li Jia came out of the house, he went to Director Xu's house.
Before coming, he had already gone to the sub-district office and asked that today was not Director Xu’s class. During the Chinese New Year, there were three shifts of people on duty. It happened to be Director Xu’s turn to take a break today.
"Dong dong dong!" Li Jia went up and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly and Director Xu appeared in front of Li Jiayi.
"It's your boy! Are you back from your hometown?"
"Yes, Director Xu." Li Jiayi smiled and nodded.
Seeing what Li Jiayi was carrying again, Director Xu said, "You brat, what are you doing? Are you here to bribe me?" Director Xu asked jokingly.
"Aunt Xu, as you said, I am visiting relatives, so I should bring some gifts when visiting relatives, right?"
"You kid can't help but be funny, you can't tell the joke. Ah!"
"I see it," Li Jia nodded.
"You saw it and you still said that?"
"Aunt Xu, I was joking too!"
"You! You don't suffer at all."
She, her daughter-in-law, and their children were the only ones at Director Xu's house. As for Director Xu's lover and son, they were probably at work.
The two chatted for a while, and Director Xu suddenly asked: "By the way, you asked me to punish you for cleaning the yard, but you asked others to clean it for you."
"Director Xu, whether I clean it or I ask someone else to clean it, I just want to ask you, is our No. 7 courtyard clean?"
"Clean is clean, but..." At this point , Director Xu reacted suddenly, then looked at Li Jiayi and said, "I seem to understand why you asked me to punish you for cleaning No. 7 Courtyard. You are good." Director Xu gave Li Jiayi a thumbs-up and said.
"I didn't do anything, I just helped as much as I could."
Since Director Xu knew that Li Jiayi asked others to help clean, he must also know who helped clean.
As for the situation of the families who helped him clean, Director Xu knew better what was going on.
"You kid, I asked you why you had to let me punish you for cleaning the yard. It turns out that's the reason!"
"Aunt Xu, just know this and don't tell anyone."
>"Don't worry! I don't care about this matter. I won’t tell you, but you are capable! You can still help others at this time.”
“It doesn’t help much.”
“Oh! You ask others to clean for you. What was given?”
Li Jia spread his hands and said: "Two pounds of pork, two pounds of eggs, and twenty pounds of noodles every month."
"Hey! You kid, this hasn't helped much? How much can you help?”
Director Xu didn’t want to talk to this guy anymore. You must know that this amount is for one family, but Li Jiayi gave it to three families!
That’s six kilograms of pork, six kilograms of eggs and sixty kilograms of noodles in one month.
You know, as a director, her monthly ration is less than thirty kilograms! Only twenty-seven pounds.
Of the twenty-seven kilograms, there were five kilograms and four ounces of white flour, two kilograms and seven taels of rice, eight kilograms and one tael of cornmeal, and the rest were all miscellaneous grains.
You can see from her what the concept of 20 pounds of noodles is.
What is 2-Hop Noodles? It is white flour and cornmeal mixed together. It is the 2-Hop Noodles here in the Imperial Capital.
In addition to Erhe noodles, there are also Sanhe noodles and even Sihe noodles, which are added with sorghum noodles or sweet potato noodles.
PS: Love is always in love across thousands of rivers and mountains, can you give me a monthly pass? Thanks!
