Chapter 277 The difficult period is about to end
"I didn't give her less food! Why didn't she come to me?" Li Jialin came out of the room and said.
"And me, I often give her delicious food." Li Jiafen also continued.
“I don’t know, maybe adding one gives more.” Ye Xin said.
Did Li Jiayi give this girl a lot? It doesn't seem like much, just one candy or a piece of snack, such as peach cake or something, every time.
In terms of how much she gave, it was definitely not as much as what her second sister Li Jialin gave her, because Li Jialin always gave this girl candies in handfuls.
As for why this girl is so clingy to Li Jiayi, to be honest, Li Jiayi doesn’t know what’s going on.
"Son, why are you coming back alone? Where is your eldest sister?"
"My sister and her class went to the factory with the teacher today, so they may have to come back later."
< br>"Okay!"
In technical secondary schools, it is normal to go to factories with teachers. Even Li Jiayi, a first-year technical secondary school student, has been there several times.
In the words of the teacher, it is theory plus practice, not optical, but also hands-on.
As for why Li Jiayi, who is learning Russian, went to the factory to do it, it was really not a blind move.
Because most of the machines used in factories now are produced by Lao Maozi, the workers who return to the factory know nothing about Lao Maozi's writing.
At this time, students like them who are learning Russian are used.
Of course, it is mainly the teachers who do the translation. They watch and learn from the side. They can also tell the workers what they know.
It’s not like going to a factory anyway.
"Come Qingxue, let my sister hold me." The second sister stretched out her hand and said.
Unfortunately, the little girl saw her reaching out and went straight into Li Jiayi's arms.
"Qingxue, go over and let the second sister hug you first. Brother, go wash your hands and hug you later."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the little girl reluctantly handed over her hand.
"Hahaha, look at this little girl's unwillingness." Li Jialin said with a smile.
"Qingxue, come let me give you a hug, and I'll give you candy." Li Jiafen took out a White Rabbit candy to coax her.
Seeing the white rabbit toffee, the little girl’s eyes lit up and she quickly reached out her hand.
"How about second sister? Let me hug you now."
"Tch, it's not just buying things." Li Jialin curled her lips and said.
"Come back, go back to the house and play!" Ye Xin felt a headache as she watched several children arguing.
“Oh!”
After the second sister and cousin returned to the house with the little girl in their arms, Li Jiayi went over to wash his hands and returned to the house.
"Brother, do you often go to the factory to work in your technical secondary school?" the second sister suddenly asked.
Li Jia glanced at her and quickly understood what was going on.
You must know that she will also take the technical secondary school entrance examination this year! If she really works in a factory often, she will most likely not go to a technical secondary school.
"Who told you that we are going to work in a factory? It is to practice, but in fact it is to learn."
"Really not to work?"
" Of course not! For example, when our class goes to the factory, the teacher basically translates Russian into the machine for the factory workers, and we study next to them. If we know each other, we can also talk to the workers.”
"That's it! I thought I was going to work in a factory."
There are indeed people who go to work in factories, such as those who study mechanics and those who study manufacturing. When they go to the factory, they have to practice. To put it bluntly, Just work.
"How can there be so much work for you as a student? In that case, why do you need workers to do it?"
"That's true." Li Jialin nodded.
"Brother, hug me." The little girl Liao Qingxue stretched out her hand again.
Li Jiayi had no choice but to take the little girl from his cousin's hand.
"By the way, why didn't the eldest brother come back?" Li Jia looked at the room and asked.
Since Li Chengqian came to the city to work, he basically stayed here except for sleeping.
It's time to get off work now. Li Aimin and Ye Xin are both back. It's impossible for him not to be back.
“My eldest brother went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. It’s probably time to come back.”
"Going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things? Is there anything else our family lacks that we need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy?" Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"Go buy soy sauce, and Erguotou."
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment. He could understand the meaning of buying soy sauce and Erguotou.
Li Jialin smiled and said: "Dad said that the eldest brother is now working and can learn to drink. No, the eldest brother will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Erguotou and come back to learn to drink from dad."
Li Jiayi asked in confusion: "Is our family short of wine? Why should we buy Erguotou?"
"I know, I know," the cousin shouted, raising her hands.
As soon as Li Jia looked over, the girl said: "The eldest brother said that he has just learned to drink and cannot drink well. If he keeps it in his mouth, there will be no wine to drink in the future."
"Okay!"
This is indeed true. People who have just learned to drink should not drink wine that is too good. As long as it is pure wine, you can drink it.
As for the price, it really doesn’t matter. If you want to drink good wine, you should wait until you learn how to drink it.
"Auntie, I bought the soy sauce." The elder brother's voice came from outside.
"Just put it in the kitchen."
"Okay."
A minute later, the eldest brother returned to the main room holding several bottles of Erguotou.
"Jiayi is back?" Li Chengjin saw Li Jiayi in the room and asked quickly.
"Well! Brother, why did you buy so much wine?" "Learn slowly!"
Li Chengqian is very comfortable working in the city! It didn't cost him a penny to eat.
Except for paying a dollar of rent to the street office every month, he can keep the rest.
So he has money in his hands. Of course, sometimes he also sends money home, but there is no place to spend money at home.
Let’s put it this way! After working so long, he had almost two hundred yuan in his hand.
"Brother, if you want to learn to drink, just tell me! I'll bring the wine back."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Chengqian quickly said: "Can you pull it down? Well, what you brought back is all good wine, but I don’t dare to drink it. "
"You can have Erguotou if you want! With the amount of money you make, you probably won't be able to drink Erguotou every day."
"Uh!" Li Chengqian felt offended. But he had to admit that his cousin was right.
His current salary is indeed not enough for him to drink Erguotou every day.
Although Erguotou does not require a ticket, a bottle costs 70 cents!
Of course, this is the price in normal times. During the three-year difficult period, all the wineries in the imperial capital basically stopped production and sold all their stocks.
So during the three difficult years, Li Jiayi didn't buy much wine. Even if he did buy wine, he would buy it from the military compound, because the price of the special product did not increase.
Although the Erguotou sold in supply and marketing cooperatives is still 70 cents a bottle, it is really difficult to buy.
Because they are basically out of stock.
"Brother, you bought it at a high price, right?" Li Jia glanced at the wine in his arms and asked.
"How do you know?" Li Chengqian asked.
“Is it hard to guess? You can’t buy affordable wine at all, so you can only buy it at a high price.”
Yes, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Erguotou, you can’t buy it at affordable prices. Not much, but you can still get it if you pay a high price.
"How much did these bottles of wine cost?" Li Jiayi asked.
“Eight yuan.”
“Uh! Just eight yuan to buy four bottles of Erguotou?” Li Jiayi asked speechlessly.
"Yes! It's all at this price."
"Bullshit, do you believe it? I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it now, and I can buy a bottle for 70 cents."
"This..."
If someone else said this, Li Chengqian certainly wouldn't believe it, but it was Li Jiayi who said this, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"Forget it, I bought everything, I can't give it back! Just don't buy it next time."
"Okay!"
It doesn't really matter. , because it won’t take long for things to return to their original prices, and it will be impossible to buy such expensive Erguotou in the future.
While Li Jiayi was chatting with his eldest brother in the main room, the eldest sister came back on her bicycle.
At this time, Ye Xin had almost finished cooking.
Dinner is quite sumptuous, with chicken, fish and meat. The staple food today is steamed buns.
As soon as their family finished eating, Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen came over.
When I came in, I saw Ye Xin feeding Liao Qingxue egg custard with a spoon. Xu Wenwen hurriedly came over and said, "Sister-in-law, let me do it!"
"Okay, this girl hasn't eaten enough. Just feed her a little more and she'll be fine. Don't feed her too much at night, as it's easy to accumulate food."
"Okay sister-in-law."
Liao Kai came from the pocket He took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled out two cigarettes, and handed one to Li Aimin.
In this day and age, there is no such thing as not smoking in front of children, and no one mentions it.
After lighting up the cigarette and taking a few puffs, Liao Kai turned to Li Jiayi and said, "Bring some flour back tomorrow. We don't have much food at home."
"Okay, how much do you want?"
"One hundred and fifty kilograms of white flour, fifty kilograms of rice."
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Uncle Liao , There is no need to save food in the future, just grab some and eat it first.”
“What do you mean?” Liao Kai asked confused.
"The summer harvest is about to begin. There is no shortage of rain this year, so we will have a bumper harvest."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kaiteng stood up and asked: "You mean the difficult period is over?"
Li Jia nodded and said: "You can understand it this way, I guess Xia Shuang's It’s time to resume rationing.”
“Great.”
Liao Kai has had a hard time in the past few years, not at home, but in the factory.
The workers didn’t have enough to eat. They didn’t just scold the factory leader, but he, the chef, was also scolded!
Although he said he didn't scold him face to face, he also knew that others scolded him, and sometimes workers would even take action when they were hungry.
“Plus one, so the factory will resume supply soon?”
“That’s right.”
“Then will you send wild boars to the factory in the future? "
"Send it, the food supply will be restored soon, but it is estimated that it will be impossible for the meat factory to provide meat to the factory for another year or so. "
"Why?"
Xu Wenwen put down the bowl and spoon at this time and said, "Are you stupid? Can a pig grow up in a day? Even if we start raising pigs now, it will only take a few months to grow up?"
Liao Kai scratched his head and said: "That's right! And it's impossible to raise many at the beginning of breeding."
