Chapter 331: See through but don’t tell, strive for benefits
"Xiao Kai, if you ask me this, you might as well ask Plus One!"
Although Ye Xin and Director Xu are now very familiar with each other, they have not met each other recently due to work commitments.
"Yes! Why did I forget about Jiayi." Liao Kai looked at Li Jiayi after finishing speaking.
And Li Jiayi is also very helpless! He really doesn’t know this, and he can’t help it, because he doesn’t care!
How could he know something he didn't care about, otherwise he would have asked already.
What kind of dishes are not available in Li Jiayi’s space? So he didn't care about storing vegetables for winter at all.
"Uncle Liao, don't look at me, I don't know either." Li Jiayi shrugged after finishing speaking.
"You don't know either?"
"Yes! I have been in school during this period and have never been to the street office. How could I know."
"Uh! Okay."
In fact, during the three-year difficult period, there were also winter vegetables, but because of the drought, there were not many winter vegetables.
Even the amount is getting less and less year by year, but after the three-year difficult period is over, the amount of winter vegetables has returned to the previous amount.
Let’s put it this way! The vegetables stored for winter every year, if not wasted, can be enough for every household to last through the winter.
It just depends on how you say it is not wasted. If you eat cabbage three times a day, it will definitely not be enough.
"Uncle Liao, why are you in such a hurry! The street office will definitely notify you when the winter vegetables are here."
"Aren't I afraid that others will finish picking all the good cabbage?" Liao Kai said, scratching his head.
"No." Li Jiayi shook his head.
Winter vegetables are also graded, with first-class, second-class and third-class.
The number of first-class cabbage is very small, and they are basically the victims of the supply army.
Ordinary families can only buy second- and third-class food, and what everyone is grabbing is second-class cabbage.
Of course, winter vegetables also cost money, and only the families of military martyrs do not need to spend money.
Moreover, it is said that they are military martyrs, but in fact they are just martyrs and do not spend any money.
This is a kind of care for the bereaved families, because the bereaved families are basically orphans, widows, mothers and the elderly.
"Son, do we still want the cabbage this year?" Ye Xin suddenly said.
You must know that their family rarely buys vegetables for winter storage. Even if they buy them back every year, they give them to others.
Li Jia thought for a while and said: "Mom, you still want it, otherwise what will others think?"
Hearing what his son said, Ye Xin nodded and said: "That's right, then let your dad get up and buy it early!"
"Aren't you going to add one this year?" Liao Kai asked.
The reason why he asked this today was actually to tell Li Jiayi that the winter vegetable storage was about to begin.
Let Li Jiayi prepare in advance, because as long as he follows Li Jiayi, he can buy the best winter vegetables.
This is the best, not second-class! But wait.
Hearing what Liao Kai said, Li Jiayi understood what was going on, smiled and said: "Okay, Uncle Liao, let's do this! After the winter vegetable storage is over, I will give you another two hundred kilograms of high-quality cabbage."< br>
There are mountains of cabbage in Li Jiayi's space, and they are all the best cabbage, which is much better than the first-class cabbage brought back from the street office.
Just kidding, the products produced by the space must be of high quality, how can they be compared to the kind of cabbage grown outside.
Liao Kai knew that Li Jiayi had the ability to bring back good food! You can even get vegetables back.
"Hahaha, okay, if that's the case, then we won't grab it this year, and we will get what we are given."
"Yeah!"
There are some things that I really can’t help but think about. That night, the sub-district office came to the courtyard to inform me that I would start buying winter vegetables from the sub-district office this Sunday.
Buying vegetables for winter storage does not end in one day. Because of the large quantity, it basically takes more than three days to complete.
But this has nothing to do with Li Jiayi, because he has no intention of grabbing vegetables for winter storage.
After drinking tea for a while, Li Jiayi went upstairs to rest.
The weather this year is colder than last year. It is expected to be another good harvest year, and a good harvest year means heavy snow.
Of course, it's not the kind of rare heavy snow, like the heavy snowfall in 1958, which is rare in a hundred years.
It was no longer a year of good harvest, but a year of disaster. Let’s not talk about whether there was a good harvest or not. Wouldn’t it still be considered a disaster if houses collapsed?
Back in the room, Li Jia closed the door and entered the space.
It’s better to go through the daily routine first, then take a shower and go to bed.
A night of silence.
After dinner the next morning, Li Jiayi and his second sister went to school.
But Li Jiayi stayed at school all morning. Yes, Li Jiayi skipped school. Because he had lunch with his second sister at school, Li Jiayi left school.
Not only that, he hasn't told the teacher yet.
This may be troublesome for others, but for Li Jiayi, it is like a daily routine.
It's not his first time.
The reason why Li Jiayi skipped school was because he had to deliver meat and eggs to several factories today.
But now Li Jiayi does not use his tricycle to deliver meat to the woolen mill.
No, Li Jiayi drove a tricycle to the woolen factory and went directly to the car class.
He parked the tricycle in the open space next to him and entered the bus class office.
"Monitor Huang."
"Hey, Li Jiayi, is it time to deliver meat today?" Squad Leader Huang asked.
"Yes."
"Great, there will be meat to eat again tomorrow." Squad Leader Huang punched the palm of his left hand with his right hand and said.
"Give me the key!"
"Here you go." Squad Leader Huang took one of the keys from the row on the wall and handed it to him.
"Well! Then I'll leave first."
"Wait!"
"Uh! Monitor Huang, what else do you want?"
"That's Jiayi! How about discussing something with you?" Squad Leader Huang came over and hugged Li Jiayi's shoulders and said.
"Monitor Huang, you have something to say."
Squad leader Huang let go of Li Jiayi's shoulders, rubbed his hands and said, "That's it. Can you help me get some meat? Don't worry, it's as much or as little as you want, or even higher."
Hearing what Squad Leader Huang said, Li Jiayi turned around and looked at him and asked: "Can I ask, what do you want meat for?"
Li Jiayi will not agree to others easily. There is no way, there are so many people, who can you agree to but not who?
If you open the door, everyone will come to you for meat. What will you do?
However, he is not an unkind person. If he really needs it, he will help him if he can, which is why he asked this.
"It's like this plus one. My wife's brother is getting married in a few days. Everything is ready now, but the meat for the wedding banquet is not yet available."
"You also know, where can an ordinary citizen get so much meat? No, they found me, but I am just a small car squad leader, what can I think of."
"I have been to the pigeon market several times. Although there is some meat in the pigeon market, I can't get it at all. There is nothing I can do."
"It turns out that the wedding banquet requires meat! Squad leader Huang, I have helped you with this. Tell me what you need and I will prepare it."
"Ah! This..."
Squad leader Huang did not expect that Li Jiayi would agree so readily, and it seemed that he would not only help him get meat, but also help him get other things.
"What's wrong, Squad Leader Huang, is there any problem?"
"No, no, I just didn't expect you to agree."
Li Jiayi looked at Squad Leader Huang speechlessly and said, "Am I so unhuman in your eyes?"
Monitor Huang scratched his head and said, "Didn't I see that you have rejected many people?"
"This is different. The reason why I rejected them is because they want the meat to eat themselves, and you are hosting a banquet, which is what you really need."
"That's it."
"Okay, Squad Leader Huang, can you tell me what you want first? I can prepare it for you!"
"That's all the stuff at the wedding banquet! Chicken, fish, and meat are essential, and nothing else."
“How many tables are there?”
"There are not many relatives. Most of them are my father-in-law's co-workers. I also have my wife's and her brother's co-workers. There are about six tables."
Li Jia thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this! I'll prepare seven chickens, seven fish, twenty pounds of pork and ten pounds of beef for you. What do you think?"
"Ah! Li Jiayi, you...are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true! I'll bring it to you when I return the car, but you can't tell others about this."
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else, oh! By the way, can you please don't give it to me in the factory? I'm afraid that bad words will spread if others see it."
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside the factory after get off work in the evening."
"Yeah! Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
"Oh, by the way, do you need a chef? I can introduce you to one."
"Ah! Chef! I have already made an agreement with Master Liao from our factory."
Hearing what Squad Leader Huang said, Li Jia patted him on the shoulder and said, "The person I was going to introduce to you was Uncle Liao."
"Uh!" Squad Leader Huang patted his forehead and then remembered that Liao Kai and Li Jiayi had a particularly good relationship.
After driving the truck from the woolen mill, Li Jia walked around and then went to the machine repair shop, because the machine repair shop was very close!
Li Jiayi's delivery of meat now is different from before. In the past, he would deliver meat once a week, a few hundred kilograms at a time, or a thousand kilograms at most.
Of course, this is talking about the machine repair shop, because there are few people in the machine repair shop, but after knowing that the machine repair shop has a cold storage, he will send at least 5,000 kilograms at a time.
In this case, he can save a lot of trips.
No, this time he sent 6,000 kilograms of pork to the machine repair shop. Now that the weather is cold, he will have to make as few trips as possible.
But if you send so much, you can't send it to the canteen, but directly to the warehouse, because the cold storage is also here.
As soon as Li Jia parked the car, he didn't even get out of the car. He rolled down the window and shouted directly inside: "The goods are unloaded."
Soon a person ran out of the warehouse. When he saw it was Li Jiayi, he shouted excitedly inside: "Everyone, come out."
After shouting, he quickly ran to the car and asked: "Plus one! How much did you give away today?"
"Lao Du! I sent you six thousand kilograms today. How about it? Is it enough?" Li Jiayi asked jokingly.
Lao Du is the warehouse supervisor of the machine repair shop. The two of them are now familiar with each other. It can be said that it is normal to make jokes or something.
"As I said, who can have too much meat? Don't say six thousand jins, I won't be too much even if you send 60,000 jins."
"You are so beautiful, you still have 60,000 jins! Why don't you say 600,000 jins?" Li Jiayi gave Lao Du a roll of his eyes.
Lao Du touched his nose and said, "Aren't you asking me if it's enough?"
"I'm asking you if you have enough, not asking you to make a wish."
Just at this time, the managers and porters in the warehouse came out.
The two of them stopped joking and started unloading the meat.
Li Jiayi doesn't need to intervene at all. They can unload and weigh it themselves. Li Jiayi only needs to wait to get the strips.
It’s easy to work with so many people! Moreover, they were whole fans of pork, so the unloading process was of course very fast. It was all finished in less than ten minutes and the weight was weighed.
"Here, add one, and I'll give you the vote."
Lao Du opened the ticket and handed it over.
"Well! I'll leave now and come back in a month."
"I said add one! It's Chinese New Year soon, can't you give me more?" Lao Du asked.
"As you said, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and other factories need a lot! So there's nothing we can do."
I will definitely give more during the Chinese New Year! This has been agreed upon in advance because benefits are being distributed, but isn’t it still early before the Chinese New Year!
"That's right." Lao Du nodded.
He also understood what was going on now. Every factory sent people to the meat factory to guard the meat factory every day.
Just thinking that the meat factory can allocate more meat to them.
But there is nothing the meat factory can do! They also collected them from various communes below.
If you collect more, you can distribute more. If you collect less, you can distribute less. They don't know how to make their own meat.
Lao Du's level is still too low! Little did he know that Liu Feng had already ordered a batch of meat from Li Jiayi.
Taking the ticket issued by Lao Du, Li Jia came to the finance department and took out the money smoothly.
Then Li Jiayi went to the bakery again. He didn't just deliver meat to the bakery! Also give eggs.
Now the bread factory has grown from five hundred kilograms per day to one thousand kilograms per day.
Also, now that rationing has been restored, the bread factory's production volume will definitely increase. In fact, the main reason is that the bread factory has expanded.
Let’s put it this way! Li Jiayi is indispensable for the expansion of the bread factory. Other bread factories stopped during the three-year difficult period, but only this one continues to produce.
And there are huge profits, which makes the boss very happy.
Therefore, the bakery was promoted from deputy director level to full director level.
Even though it is only half a level, this is a huge change for a factory.
Of course, because of this promotion, Li Jiayi got five job quotas, but he couldn't use them for the time being, so he didn't use them.
It doesn’t move, it doesn’t move, but the quota is always there! He can come and get the job slip anytime.
Li Jiayi first sent 6,000 kilograms of meat to the bakery, and then sent three carts of eggs.
This is enough for the bakery to last for a while.
After taking the ticket and collecting the money, Li Jiayi prepared to deliver meat to the woolen mill.
When it comes to welfare benefits, there is really no way for a wool spinning factory to compare with a bakery factory, or even with a machine repair factory.
There is nothing we can do about this. There are too many people in the woolen mill! Fifteen to six thousand people, how can you compare with others!
For example, a machine repair shop! There are only a thousand people in the house, but they consume five to six thousand kilograms of pork a month.
To meet this standard, a wool mill would need nearly 100,000 kilograms of pork a month, which is simply impossible.
This is not to say that the wool spinning factory has no money. If it really wants to make money, it is estimated that even thirty machine repair shops cannot compete with the wool spinning factory.
But this is not a matter of more money or less, but a factory that consumes more than 100,000 kilograms of meat every month. What do you want your superiors to think?
This is the real reason. The imperial capital is not a large factory without tens of thousands of people.
Others are similar to you. They consume less than 10,000 jins of meat a month, while you consume over 100,000 jins.
Someone has said it, but as long as no one says it, who knows!
Just kidding, paper can't contain the fire. If you want to keep a factory with more than 10,000 people secret, it's simply impossible.
In this day and age, anyone who eats meat in a factory will not be told when they go home.
Pulling a cart of meat, Li Jiayi arrived at the woolen mill, and then came to the No. 1 canteen.
Yes, the woolen mill here still sends it to the canteen, because there are many canteens in the woolen mill, and because the canteens are far away, each canteen has a cold storage.
When Li Jia delivers the meat to the No. 1 canteen, it is equivalent to delivering it to the factory.
If you use meat in other canteens, you have to go to the first canteen to pick it up. Of course, you can also pick it up in advance and put it in the cold storage of each canteen.
But this has nothing to do with Li Jiayi, he just needs to deliver the things. As for the rest, the directors of each canteen can discuss it themselves.
Because of Liao Kai's status, he was only the chef of the No. 1 canteen and did not hold the position of deputy director of the canteen, so he was not responsible for the meat.
"Come out and unload the goods." Li Jiayi arrived at the canteen and shouted inside.
Soon a person ran out of the canteen, an employee in the canteen.
"Wait a moment, I'll call the director."
Li Jiayi only waited for four or five minutes before Director Liu ran out.
Yes, it's still Director Liu from before. The first time Li Jiayi delivered meat to the woolen mill, he was the director of the No. 1 canteen.
"Director Liu...uh! No, it should be Section Chief Liu." Li Jiayi said with a smile.
Yes, although Director Liu is still the director of the canteen, he also has another identity, that is, the deputy section chief of the Materials Section of the Logistics Department.
You must know that the woolen mill is a department-level unit! The deputy section chief here is a serious deputy section chief!
Unlike some other factories that have the title of section chief, they are actually a full-stock company.
Like Director Liu, he used to be the canteen director. After being the canteen director for so many years, he was only a full-time employee.
If it weren't for Li Jiayi, he would probably still be at the top level now, and he might even be like that until he retires.
You must know that from section member to deputy section member, this is a hurdle! More than 90% of people will never reach the minor level after working for a lifetime.
This is just like many workers in towns and villages in later generations. It is impossible for them to be deputy mayor or deputy mayor until they retire.
At most, when you retire, you will enjoy associate-level treatment.
However, although Director Liu is now the deputy chief of the Materials Department, his main office is still in the No. 1 Canteen.
Of course, there is also his office in the Materials Department, but the Materials Department is just a department under the Logistics Department.
With the section chief and other deputy section chiefs here, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not, and the materials department doesn't have much to do, so it's better to be comfortable here in the cafeteria.
At least he is the boss here! And because of his high position, other canteen directors have to say hello first when they see him.
"I said Li Jiayi, can you stop teasing me? Otherwise I will tell your dad and ask your dad to deal with you."
It is estimated that Director Liu does not know Li Jiayi's status in the family, otherwise he would never say this.
"I don't dare to tease you. Besides, aren't you the deputy section chief now?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Uh!" Director Liu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"Okay, Section Chief Liu, let's have the meat unloaded first! I still have to return the car to the bus class!"
He wasn't just going to return the car, he was mainly going to collect the money. If he was delayed for a while, the finance department would be off work, and he didn't want to make another trip.
"Yes, yes, unload the meat." After speaking, Director Liu ran into the cafeteria.
Soon everyone from the canteen and the warehouse here was called over.
"Plus one, how many did you send this time?" Director Liu asked.
"Twenty thousand catties."
"Ah! It's only twenty thousand kilograms! Is it a little less?"
"This is half a month, and there is another trip this month."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Director Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
Although the woolen mill is a large factory with 15,000 to 6,000 people, the meat factory only provides less than 10,000 kilograms of meat every month.
The meat joint factory allocates meat to each factory on a per capita basis, with each person receiving half a catty per month. Although this amount is already more than the Imperial City household registration quota, and factory workers still have a Imperial City household registration quota when they return home.
But don’t forget that most people who work in factories do manual labor!
Soon the meat was unloaded, and Director Liu gave Li Jia a handful of tickets. As soon as Li Jia drove the car, he came to the finance department.
"Hey, Jiayi came here again today to deliver meat?"
The finance department is very familiar with Li Jiayi, and no one in the entire finance department doesn't know him.
"Yes, you can eat meat tomorrow."
"That would be great."
"Okay, it's almost time to get off work. I won't talk to you for now. I'll go get the money first and we'll talk about it next time I come over."
"Well! Go quickly!"
Li Jiayi quickly went over and pushed open the door of the director's office.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
She probably heard his voice, so when Li Jiayi came in, the director was looking at him with a smile.
"Here you go, give me your ticket!"
"Okay."
The director helped Li Jiayi with the application and said, "I'll go to the factory director's office later. The factory director has something to do with you."
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is the factory director looking for me at this time?"
"How did I know this! I just received the call."
"Okay, I get it."
Li Jiayi frowned and thought: The factory director won't find trouble for me again, right?
The formalities were quickly completed, and Li Jiayi went to the factory director's office. The financial department and the factory director's office were in the same building, so there was no need for him to run back and forth.
Arriving at the door of the factory director's office, Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Director, are you looking for me?" Li Jiayi asked after opening the door.
"Come and sit." Director Qiao pointed to the sofa and said.
"Director, you'd better tell me what you want to do with me first! Otherwise, I won't dare to sit down."
"It's nothing, I just thought that you have done well these days and it's time to give you a raise." Director Qiao stood up with a smile and walked to the sofa and said.
Li Jiayi curled his lips. He didn't believe this. If it was just to raise a level, there would be no need to call him over.
"Sit down!"
"Okay!" Li Jiayi walked over and sat down.
"Plus one! Are you at the administrative level 24 now?"
"Yes, director."
"How about I give you Level 22?" Director Qiao asked with a smile.
"Twenty-two?" Li Jiayi looked at Factory Director Qiao in disbelief.
You must know that level 22 is equivalent to the salary of a college student after becoming a full-time student!
It's the same as the salary given to him by the district bureau, except that this is real, while the district bureau's salary is just imaginary.
In other words, from today on, Li Jiayi is the real administrative level 22, which is equivalent to a fourth-level clerk.
You must know that his father Li Aimin was already thirty years old when he reached this level.
And it's because someone is taking care of it, otherwise it would probably have to wait a few more years.
But Li Jiayi is no ordinary person! He knew that the greater the benefits, the greater the interests of Factory Director Qiao.
"Director Qiao, just tell me! What do you need me to do?"
"It's okay. These are not my two old comrades. I heard that our factory always has meat to eat, and then they found me. I couldn't refuse, so..."
Hearing what Director Qiao said, Li Jiayi smiled bitterly and said, "Director, aren't you? You will really cause trouble for me."
The reason why Li Jiayi stopped at the black market and Master Wu was because he didn't want to collect so many RMB.
And he plans to save more meat and exchange for more antiques and old furniture in ten years.
"Plus one! I can't help it, people are coming to my door, and I can't refuse."
Seeing Director Qiao acting like this, Li Jiayi knew that he was in trouble too!
What people like Factory Director Qiao fear most is that their old comrades will come to their door.
"How much do they want?"
"I don't know about this either." Director Qiao shook his head and said.
"They are also factories, right?"
"Yes, one is Hongye Steel Plant and the other is the Fifth Rolling Mill."
"Uh! I know the Fifth Steel Rolling Plant. Where is this Hongye Steel Plant?"
There are seven steel rolling mills near the imperial capital, from number one to seventh, but this is the first time he has heard of Hongye Steel Mill.
"This Hongye Steel Plant was built after liberation. It is in the west, about ten kilometers away from our factory."
"So far."
No wonder I haven't heard of it. It's only ten kilometers away from the woolen mill, so it's more than twelve kilometers away from the city.
In this era, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a suburb within a suburb.
"It's really far away."
Li Jiayi gave Factory Director Qiao a speechless roll of his eyes and said, "Is this too far?"
"Plus one! Don't worry, I have also obtained benefits for you, and I am not letting you work in vain."
"Oh! What's the benefit?"
Li Jiayi's eyes lit up. It would be very good if he was given a few job quotas.
"They each give you a temporary worker status."
"Pfft!" Li Jiayi looked at Factory Director Qiao speechlessly and said, "What kind of benefit is this! Am I missing the job of a temporary worker?"
Temporary workers are not included in the establishment. Every factory has some, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Due to job quota restrictions, many factories are short of manpower and can only recruit temporary workers.
If Li Jiayi wanted it, let alone one or two, he could get it even if it was a hundred and eighty.
"Plus one! This temporary worker quota is not the same as for other temporary workers. This is for you."
"Give it to me? What do you mean?"
"It means that you are a temporary worker in two of their factories, they will pay you, and your job is procurement. You must know that there is a reward mechanism for unplanned material procurement. Our factory also has it, but you don't have it yet. Officially working, it hasn’t started yet.”
"Reward mechanism?"
"Yes, this incentive mechanism is available to every factory with unplanned purchasing rights."
"How to reward?"
"First you have to complete the task. After the task is completed, for every 100 yuan more supplies you purchase, you will be rewarded with 1 yuan in money and tickets."
"What?" Li Jiayi looked at Factory Director Qiao in surprise.
"Don't be surprised, that's it."
"Oops! I've suffered a big loss. How many supplies have I sent to the woolen mill for so long! How much reward can I get for so many supplies?"
Factory Director Qiao did not pay attention to Li Jiayi, but asked: "How about it? Is the benefit I got for you okay?"
"Director, that means that if I send them supplies, I will be rewarded?"
"Yes, because you are a temporary worker, there are no restrictions. As long as you send it, they will activate the reward mechanism, and there will also be a temporary worker salary."
"The salary doesn't matter, as long as there are rewards."
"Don't you feel like you're at a loss now?" Director Qiao asked with a smile.
"It's not a loss. What I got in the woolen mill was the salary of a regular worker, and I also had an establishment."
"Graduate quickly! When you actually go to work in the factory, the reward system will be activated."
"It's okay, it's only a matter of a few months, I'm not in a hurry." Li Jiayi said nonchalantly.
"Then when are you going to deliver meat to them?"
"Director, how many people do they have in both factories?"
"There are more people in the steel plant, eight to nine thousand people, and the fifth rolling mill has four to five thousand people."
Li Jia thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it. I'll go over there tomorrow and have a look, but I'll need to use the truck for a day."
"You can use it as you like. I'll just call the bus team later."
"Yeah!"
Factory Director Qiao also understands that to deliver meat to the steel plant, trucks must be used because the road is too far and the road is not good.
"Director, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll leave first."
"Go!"
As soon as Li Jia came out of the office building, he got into the truck and put the money he just received in his schoolbag into the space.
Start the truck and drive to the bus squad, where squad leader Huang is already waiting for him.
"Jiayi, the factory director has already called me, please drive away."
"Yes!" Li Jia nodded, and then whispered: "I'll wait for you outside the gate."
"Okay." Squad Leader Huang smiled and nodded.
If you drive the truck, the tricycle will have to stop here first.
After driving the truck out of the factory area and driving forward for almost two hundred meters, Li Jiayi stopped.
In just ten minutes, Squad Leader Huang came over on his bicycle.
Li Jiayi had already prepared the things and placed them in the carriage.
Li Jiayi got down from the cab, climbed into the carriage, and handed the things to Squad Leader Huang one by one.
After squad leader Huang put everything on the bicycle, he took out a handful of money from his pocket, counted out seven big unity cards and stuffed them into Li Jiayi's hand.
Then he got on his bike and ran away.
"Uh! Squad Leader Huang, you gave me too much." Li Jiayi shouted.
"You can save the extra to buy candies."
"Pfft!" Li Jiayi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and cursed: "You fucking treat me like a child?"
It's a pity that Squad Leader Huang has long disappeared.
But it can also be seen from this that Squad Leader Huang is a very particular person. For things that cost up to sixty yuan, he directly gave him seventy yuan.
In fact, it is normal. In this era of relatively scarce supplies, money is more important than supplies!
Let’s put it this way! If squad leader Huang's wife's brother hadn't gotten married, Li Jiayi wouldn't have gotten him these supplies even if he'd been given 100 yuan, let alone 70 yuan.
After getting in the car again, Li Jia glanced at his watch. It happened to be five o'clock, which was the time to get off work.
Yes, Li Jiayi no longer uses pocket watches. He used to use pocket watches because he was too young and wearing a watch was too ostentatious.
Now that he is fifteen, he is about the same height as most adults, and he is not so ostentatious wearing a watch.
Since he had finished get off work, he drove home.
When driving a truck home, it is impossible to take the back door because the road to the back door is narrow.
Drive the truck to the entrance of Courtyard No. 7, which is the main entrance. The road here is relatively wide. Not to mention one truck, even four or five trucks side by side will be fine.
Because this is the main road! Of course, Li Jiayi could not park the car on the road, but parked it on the right side of the gate of No. 7 Courtyard.
There are open spaces on both sides of the gate of No. 7 Courtyard, so there is no problem in parking a few cars.
When Li Jiayi returned home, no one was at home, not even Li Jiafen, who was closest to home, came back.
The first thing I did when I got home was to light the fireplace. Although it was said that there was no need to light the stove at night, the fireplace still had to be lit.
Although it is not dark yet, the temperature is already very low, almost freezing at this time.
As soon as the fireplace was lit, Li Jiafen came back on his bicycle. When he saw Li Jiayi at home, he was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Jiayi, why are you at home?"
You must know that Xicheng Intermediate Vocational and Technical College is far away from home. Even if you ride a bicycle back, it will take about half an hour.
"What's all the fuss about, I skipped school."
"Ah! Brother Jiayi, are you skipping school again?"
Li Jiayi looked at his cousin speechlessly and said: "I'm just skipping school, don't be surprised."
"Oh!"
A few minutes later, my parents came back on their bicycles. When they entered the house and saw Li Jiayi, Ye Xin said, "Son, are you playing truant again?"
Li Aimin said: "This guy is delivering meat to the factory today."
"Oh! That's it!"
Li Jiayi looked at Li Aimin and asked: "Dad, how did you know that I was delivering meat to the factory today?"
You must know that Li Jiayi does not deliver meat to the factory regularly, but depends on the situation.
"When I passed by the bus station in the afternoon, I saw your tricycle, and just now I saw the truck at the gate."
"Wait, son, why did you drive the truck back from the factory? Are you still skipping school tomorrow?" Ye Xin asked.
"Mom, don't play truant. I'm just doing business. Besides, it's called truancy if the school doesn't allow it. I'm doing this with the school's permission."
"Allow or not, I'm still playing truant."
"Uh! Okay!"
My parents went to the kitchen to cook, and Li Jiayi and Li Jiafen were the only ones left in the main room.
"Brother Jiayi, you can't escape your reputation as a truant." Li Jiafen said with a smile.
Li Jiayi picked up an apple and pressed it on her mouth and said: "Eat an apple and block your mouth."
"Oh!" Li Jiafen took the apple and ate it.
Li Jiayi also picked up an apple and gnawed it.
Before I finished eating an apple, the eldest sister and second sister came back one after another, and then the eldest brother and the second brother.
The reason why the eldest and second brothers came back so late was because they went back to Courtyard No. 15 first.
When the eldest sister came back, she went to help in the kitchen. With the eldest sister's help, dad would have nothing to worry about.
"Son, burn the sauna room tonight." Li Aimin returned to the main room and said to Li Jiayi.
"I know, I'll burn it as soon as I finish eating."
"Well! You can take a sauna today."
Li Cheng has steamed it many times before, which is nothing unusual, but Li Cheng has never steamed it once!
"Plus one, what is a sauna?"
"Just take a shower."
"Ah! No, why do you need to take a shower when it's cold?"
Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "You'll know later whether it's cold or not."
Just kidding, the sauna is still cold after steaming it! It's so hot that I can't even breathe.
But Li Jiayi had a headache when he thought of taking a sauna. This was not the case before. In the past, it was just their family, plus Liao Kai.
The men steamed once and the women steamed once, but now! Men need to be steamed twice, and women need to be steamed three times.
There is no way, the sauna is too small to accommodate many people at one time.
Fortunately, except for Li Jia's family, everyone else is not steaming every day. In this case, it is still the same as before.
But this is the first time to steam in winter, so no one should be left behind! So it was quite busy at night.
"Brother, go and tell Uncle Liao and Uncle Nan to take a sauna tonight."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Second brother, go and tell Brother Zhuzi to take a sauna tonight."
"Oh!"
Soon dinner was ready and the family started to eat. Before they could finish the meal, Liao Kai came over with his wife and children.
When it comes to who is the most active person in sauna, it is definitely Liao Kai. During the coldest five or eight years, Liao Kai got here by using sauna once a day.
So he fell in love with saunas. In winter, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't take a sauna every day.
"Uncle Liao, are you here so early?" Li Jia put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked.
"Steam early and go back to rest early!"
"You can pull it down! I think you're afraid that you won't be able to steam it?" Li Jiayi said, giving him a roll of his eyes.
"Hey, hey, if you don't tell me clearly, it won't be interesting if you tell me clearly."
"Eat more." Li Aimin looked at Liao Kai and said.
"No need, Brother Li, I..."
"Okay."
Before Liao Kai finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice. He didn't even need to look, because the voice was his daughter Liao Qingxue.
The little girl was not polite, at least not polite to Li Jia's family. She ran directly to the table and looked at the food on the table.
"Here, eat a chicken drumstick." Ye Xin gave the little girl a drumstick.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Li Jiayi quickly finished all the meat and vegetables in the bowl and said: "I'm full, let's go to the sauna."
"Come on, Xiaokai, don't eat and drink some wine with me. I still need a while in the sauna."
"You can have this." Liao Kai went over and sat in Li Jiayi's seat.
"I'm going to get a drink." Li Chengqian put down his chopsticks, picked up a cup and went out.
Soon Li Chengqian came back with a glass of wine and handed it to Liao Kai.
Liao Kai took it, took a sip, put it down and said, "Brother Li, where did this boy Jiayi buy this wine? He didn't tell me after asking him several times."
