Chapter 330 Why is the gap between people so big
"Grandma, I didn't say anything!" He Yuzhu said aggrievedly.
Seeing the aggrieved look on his face, Li Jiayi was surprised. This was the first time he saw He Yuzhu like this.
But it can also be seen from here that He Yuzhu has changed a lot since moving here.
Also, he now has an old man above him, a sister below him, and a wife in the middle. Of course, it cannot be the same as before.
However, sometimes when my stubborn temper comes up, I will say some stupid things, but the old lady suppresses them.
"Okay, let's talk about this later!" the old lady said.
"Okay! I listen to grandma." He Yuzhu said quickly.
He was really afraid of the old lady hitting him with her cane! It was really painful, and I couldn't hide because I was afraid of dodge the old lady.
"Old lady, in this case I will go back first. I will go back to the countryside tomorrow."
"Okay, you go back and rest!" the old lady said with a smile.
To be honest, it can be said that she is able to live such a life now entirely because of Li Jiayi.
Although she lived in the original place and there were a lot of people around her, it was not as good as now!
After Li Jiayi returned home, the eldest sister was cleaning up the Eight Immortals table, pouring the tea leaves and wiping the Eight Immortals table clean.
"Sister, I'm going up first, and I have to go back to my hometown tomorrow."
"Well! Go! Get some rest early."
"Okay."
Tomorrow is Sunday, and no one in the family has to go to work. To be honest, it is thanks to Li Jiayi that I can not go to work on Sunday.
You should know that others basically work shifts, or take turns on duty, but their family members have never had this.
The same goes for the eldest sister who just started working. You must know that the Public Security Bureau is very busy, and it is not easy to get to Sunday to rest.
Basically, everyone only takes a day off when there is nothing else to do in the bureau. It is basically impossible to take a rest on Sunday.
When he came upstairs, Li Jiayi noticed that someone had been in the house, and he knew it was his second sister without even thinking.
Because some of the things in his house are missing, if the eldest sister comes in, she will never touch the things in his house.
This may be the reason why he took fruits from upstairs to downstairs in the morning.
Li Jia smiled and entered the space without paying attention.
After entering the space, Li Jiayi first went through his daily routine, then took a shower, and then went to bed.
A night of silence.
He got up early the next morning, and he didn't box yet. He just took a shower and changed clothes.
When he came downstairs, it was not yet six o'clock. Just as he came down, his mother also came out of the room.
My family didn't go to work or go to school today, so my mother got up a little late.
I usually get up at half past five. After all, it takes a lot of time to make so many breakfasts.
"Hey, son, did you get up a little early today?" Ye Xin asked when she saw Li Jia coming up.
"Mom, today is Sunday, I want to go back to my hometown."
"Oh! That's right, Mom forgot, you're not having breakfast at home, right?"
"Yeah! I'll just have some breakfast outside later."
"Okay, remember to eat, don't forget."
"Got it."
After coming out of the house, my mother went to the kitchen, while Li Jiayi drove a tricycle out of the house.
He said he was eating breakfast outside, but he didn't say he was going to the breakfast shop. Last time he had breakfast at the breakfast shop, Li Jiayi prepared some in the space.
To be honest, those things that were served earlier were really unpalatable, especially the fried dough sticks.
This era is not like that of later generations. The oil for frying fried dough sticks should be changed when it is almost used.
In this era, the oil will not be changed. At most, you will add more oil later when it is low.
You can imagine what it will be like. If you look into the pot, you will find that the oil is dark.
Li Jia drove his tricycle and quickly left the city. As soon as he passed the road trodden by people at the turn toward Pigeon City, he stopped.
Then he took out the steamed buns and fried dough sticks from the space and started eating. Of course, how could you eat these without soy milk?
After eating two big meat buns, two fried dough sticks, and a glass of soy milk, I felt that it was almost done, so I started the tricycle again.
Two hours later, at around 8 a.m., Li Jiayi arrived at Lijia Village.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he heard pigs braying one after another.
Needless to say, this was a pig killing in the village, and there were more than one, otherwise it wouldn't sound so chaotic.
Not only that, he also saw that the villagers were busy, killing chickens and ducks, and helping to carry water and firewood.
But this had nothing to do with Li Jiayi. He just came to collect things, so he drove to grandma's house.
When I came to grandma's house, the door was open. I guess my grandparents got up very early today.
Li Jia drove the tricycle directly into the courtyard, and sure enough he saw his grandparents sitting in the courtyard.
"Grandma, grandpa!"
"My eldest grandson is here, are you tired?" the old lady came over quickly and asked.
"Grandma, I'm not tired."
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Grandma, don't worry about it after you eat. Sit down and have a rest!" Li Jiayi got off the tricycle and supported his grandma and said.
"Yeah!"
When they came to the Eight Immortals Table, Grandpa handed Li Jiayi an enamel jar of tea and said, "I collected some eggs this week, but not many."
"It's okay, Grandpa, it's only been a week, not much, it's normal."
"That's right."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to take things down." Li Jiayi stood up quickly after finishing speaking.
"You kid, why did you bring something here again? There is nothing missing at home." Grandma said quickly.
"Grandma, I didn't bring any meat or food. I brought some fruits for you and grandpa."
"Fruit! That's okay."
Grandma is right, he doesn't need to bring meat or food here at all now.
Because he comes here to collect things once a week, and the things he collects will definitely leave some for the grandparents.
There is also food. Now each family grows their own land. Except for the public grain that the village must hand over, the rest belongs to their own family. There is no shortage of food at all.
The only things Li Jiayi needed to bring over were oil, sesame salt, and sesame paste.
But grandma still has a lot of these things at home, so there is no need to send them away for the time being.
Li Jiayi came to the tricycle and took out a large net bag from the carriage. The net bag contained various fruits.
He can be carried in a net bag and weighs about thirty or forty pounds. There are a lot of fruits in the space!
This bit of fruit is nothing compared to the piles of fruits in the space.
"Grandson, what kind of fruit is this?" After Li Jia put the net bag on the Eight Immortals table, grandpa touched a grapefruit and asked.
"Grandpa, this is grapefruit."
"I said oranges are not that big!"
Grandpa looked at the fruits and didn't recognize many of them, so he quickly asked them one by one.
Not only did he ask what kind of fruit it was, but he also asked how to eat it.
Until about ten o'clock in the morning, people began to come one after another.
Some come to sell killed chickens and ducks, some come to sell pork, and of course, some sell eggs and duck eggs.
Fortunately, the uncle and aunt came over at this time. The uncle's family also killed a pig today.
Now every household has a surplus of food, especially sweet potatoes, which are basically used to feed pigs.
Not to mention that every household now raises pigs, that’s pretty much it.
I was busy until after eleven o'clock, and then I finished my work. This was much faster than last time.
In fact, it's normal. Last time, he asked the captain to inform people after he came over.
Today, everyone had already started before he came. It is estimated that when he came out of the city, someone had already started.
After finishing their work, Li Jiayi, his grandfather and uncle loaded things into the tricycle, while grandma and aunt went to the kitchen to cook.
Just as the loading was finished here, lunch was ready over there.
"Wash your hands and eat quickly." The aunt came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes and said.
While eating, the uncle said: "If you want to make money, you have to raise something."
"Yes! I used to work for a year, and apart from some food, I could only get more than a dozen yuan," said the aunt.
In the past, it was a collective. After the grain was harvested, the public grain had to be paid first, and then the grain and money were divided according to work points.
After a year of hard work, it’s not just a small share of things.
Now, it's okay. The land is divided according to the head, and then you can grow it yourself. How much food you harvest depends entirely on whether you are diligent or not.
There is no comparison at all. Although this is very unfriendly to those second-rate people, no one dares to say anything.
Unless you no longer want to stay in this village, this is the benefit of people of the same surname. Although they all live their own lives, in general, they are still one family.
"Uncle, how many pigs do you have at home?" Li Jiayi asked.
"There are still two big ones, which will be sold after a while, and there are four small ones, which are still little piglets at the moment."
Originally, the uncle's house only had three pigs, just like grandma's house, but after Li Jiayi came over to collect the things last time, the uncle brought back four more piglets.
Grandpa glanced at his uncle and asked, "Are you still planning to sell them all?"
"Uh! Dad, what's wrong?" the uncle asked.
"What else is going on? They won't come back before the New Year! Why don't you kill one and keep it to eat?"
"Dad, you can't use one! Just keep some for the New Year and sell the rest."
"I think you are obsessed with money. Both Cheng Qian and Cheng Hou are working to make money. You are still short of that!"
"Okay, Cheng Qian is about to get married, so he might as well save some money." Grandma said.
"Yes! Grandpa, aren't you still planning to kill the pig? Can you still have no meat to eat during the Chinese New Year?"
"That's right." Grandma said.
"Grandpa, actually you can just keep one end, it will be enough for the New Year, and sell the remaining two ends."
"Sell whatever you want. You have many family members. When the time comes, I will kill you and take one of you back to the city."
"Pfft!" Li Jiayi looked at his grandfather speechlessly and said, "Grandpa, do you think our family will be short of meat? And it's not worth bringing it so far to the city."
"Why is it not worth it? You buy other people's goods for free?" Grandpa glared at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Uh! Grandpa, you are right, it does not cost money."
"No money?" Grandpa turned his head and looked at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Yes, our family doesn't spend money to eat meat, so there is no need to take it from here to the city."
Just kidding, there’s no meat in his dimension! There is no need to bring meat back from grandpa's house to eat.
And the meat in the space is even more delicious than the meat outside.
"In this case, when you come over next time, kill two of them and save one for the New Year."
"Yeah!"
After finishing the meal, it was about half past twelve.
Li Jiayi wiped his mouth and said: "Grandpa and grandma, it's hot now, so I won't stay any longer."
"Well! Go back quickly! The meat will go bad after a long time."
"Yes."
"Grandson! You go back alone and carry so many things. Please pay attention to safety on the way." Grandma said.
"Now that you know grandma, don't worry."
In the past, Li Jiayi brought Asheng and the others here, but now there is no need at all.
Putting aside his own force value, don’t forget that he also has all the weapons from a large weapons store in his space!
Not only that, he always had two AK47s and two pistols in the living room with the safety on.
These four guns can be taken out for use at any time, and more than a dozen spare magazines are prepared.
If he was really in danger, Li Jiayi wouldn't care so much and would definitely use it directly.
The first thing to ensure is his own safety. As for the consequences, he doesn't care at all.
Li Jiayi is not that pedantic. Besides, the dangers that can arise are basically in places where there are few people.
There can't be any danger on the street! In this case, what is he afraid of?
Even if he uses these weapons, he will not let anyone know that he used them!
After saying goodbye to his grandparents and uncle, Li Jiayi drove a tricycle and left.
Some distance away from the village, Li Jia stopped the tricycle, put away all the things in the carriage, and then started the tricycle again.
More than two hours later, Li Jiayi returned to the city and went straight to the district bureau.
"Uncle Wang, come out to receive the goods." When they arrived at the door of the district bureau canteen, Li Jiayi shouted inside.
"Coming, coming." Soon Uncle Wang came out with a big spoon.
"Why is it so early today?" Uncle Wang asked as he walked towards the tricycle.
"I went early today. I left at around five o'clock in the morning and didn't come back until now."
In fact, at this time, the district bureau had just started working. Of course, this was during working hours.
As soon as Li Jia opened the lid of the carriage, Uncle Wang came up to take a look and said quickly: "I will ask someone to come and move it."
"Yeah!"
Uncle Wang returned to the canteen and shouted, and soon everyone in the canteen ran out.
Then I started moving things inside. The first thing to move was of course eggs and duck eggs.
There are no salted eggs or salted duck eggs today, all are fresh eggs. Similarly, there are not many eggs and duck eggs today.
All together, there are only about 4,000 pieces, which is actually quite a lot.
The pork brought back today is about the same as last time, about 1,900 kilograms.
But there are a lot of chickens and ducks today, especially chickens, there are about 150 of them, and that’s just a few left for grandma.
Even there are seventy or eighty ducks.
But whether it’s a chicken or a duck, it’s basically all male, because the female is still left to lay eggs.
Because there were so many people, they all moved in quickly. After counting and weighing, Uncle Wang wrote a ticket for Li Jiayi.
"Uncle Wang, thank you. I'll go get the money first."
"Get the money? I guess you can't get it today." Uncle Wang shook his head and said.
"Why?" Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"You kid, it's Sunday today!" Uncle Wang said helplessly.
"We don't have a day off on Sunday."
"Plus one! You are right, but there is no break. The main departments, such as finance, archives, and household registration, are still on normal breaks."
"Well, it seems I can only ask my eldest sister to pick it up for me when she goes to work tomorrow."
"That's the only way, otherwise you have to make a trip yourself."
"Uncle Wang, I will go to school tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Since he could not receive money, Li Jiayi did not stop and drove a tricycle home directly.
When I got home, except for the eldest brother and the second brother, everyone in the family was staying in the living room.
Sundays in this era are really a day of rest, unlike in later generations where we are busier than other times during the week.
Either go here or there.
In fact, to put it bluntly, there is nowhere to go in this era.
Even if ordinary people want to go out for a walk, there is no place to go. For example, going to a department store requires a ticket!
Why don't you go shopping without a ticket? You might as well stay at home.
"Hey, son, why did you come back so early today?" Ye Xin asked when she saw Li Jiayi coming back.
"When I went there today, the village was almost ready, so I came back early."
"That's it!"
"By the way, son, how are your grandparents?"
"It's very good! I feel better and feel better when I eat."
"That's good! It's a pity that we only have one day's rest, so we can't get there." Ye Xin said helplessly.
"It's okay, Mom! It will be National Day in a while, you and Dad can go over and take a look."
"Yes! It's only until November."
Time flies by, and two months pass in the blink of an eye. During these two months, Li Jiayi returns to his hometown on time to collect his things every Sunday.
It has now entered November, November in the imperial capital, and the weather has turned cold.
Even in later generations, global warming will cause the heating here in the imperial capital to turn on around November 15th.
Not to mention this time.
The temperature in this era was several degrees lower than in later generations. Although it was just November, I had already put on cotton-padded clothes when I went out.
It's just that I don't wear thick cotton clothes. As for the temperature, it is already between five degrees and minus five degrees.
Yes, the highest temperature during the day is only five degrees, and it's still at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
It is minus 2 to minus 3 degrees Celsius in the morning and evening, and the coldest time at night is minus 5 degrees Celsius.
You know, it’s just November! In later generations, at least December is expected to be this cold.
In the past two months, Li Jiayi has cut off transactions with the black market, including Master Wu.
As for the reasons, there are many. In Li Jiayi's words, people's lives have basically recovered now, and they no longer continue to supply him, so he is helpless.
The reason why all supplies were cut off was because he had no way to get antiques and large and small yellow croakers from the black market and Master Wu.
There are no antiques and large and small yellow croakers, only money transactions, which can no longer arouse Li Jiayi's desire.
It can be said that what he lacks most now is money.
So far, the only ones still supplying are woolen mills, bakeries, machine repair shops and district bureaus.
As for the Shichahai Police Station that used to supply supplies, they no longer supplied supplies when rationing was restored.
In the past two months, nothing happened at home.
If there is any change, it would be He Yuyu and Nanyi. More than a month ago, Li Jia introduced Qin Han to He Yuyu, and then the two became officially acquainted.
Now whenever it's Sunday, the two of them go out together, and it seems like there's basically no problem.
The same is true for Nanyi. Probably because without Cui Dake's trouble, Nanyi and Liang Ladi are making rapid progress.
Now when I have nothing to do, I bring my child to the house for dinner, because she only comes to eat and leaves after eating, so no one in the courtyard will say anything.
As for how many times Liang Ladi has come, probably no one knows it better than Li Jiayi, because every time Liang Ladi comes here, Nan Yi will come to him to borrow something.
For example, today, Li Jiayi just came back from school on his bicycle and saw Nan Yi at home.
"Uncle Nan." Li Jia didn't forget to say hello when he parked his bicycle.
"Jiayi is back. I have something to do with you."
Li Jia parked his bicycle and walked over and said, "Uncle Nan, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"Help uncle get a chicken, a carp, and some pork and beef."
"Uh! Uncle Nan, are you asking for a treat?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Nanyi had only brought things from him before, but every time he wanted a chicken or a piece of meat, at most he asked for a chicken or an extra piece of fish.
I want so many things today, this is not a treat.
"Oops! No, today is my child's birthday, so I want to prepare a few more dishes."
"Okay, Uncle Nan, he is a child now. Didn't you always call Liang Ladi's child before?"
"You're joking, right?"
"No, no, but for a birthday, isn't it too little to prepare just these things?"
Nan Yi directly gave Li Jiayi a look of contempt and said: "You think everyone is like your family! I have prepared so much, and I am already much better than many families."
He was right no matter what he said. How many people in this era would celebrate their children’s birthdays!
If conditions are good today, I will cook a bowl of longevity noodles for my children and put two poached eggs on it.
If the family conditions are not good, boiling an egg for a child is considered a birthday. Many families even do not have eggs.
"Okay, do you want to wait here? Or should I send it to you later?" Li Jia nodded and asked.
"I'll go back and prepare first! Just get the things back later and send them over to me."
"Okay."
It doesn't matter, there's nothing I can't agree to, I just don't know which of Liang Ladi's children has a birthday.
"Mom and Dad, let me go out for a while."
"Go!"
Li Aimin and Ye Xin already knew what Li Jiayi was going out for, so of course they couldn't stop him!
"Yeah! I'll be back in a minute."
Li Jiayi did not drive a tricycle this time, but went out on a bicycle.
Fortunately, it hasn't snowed yet, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ride this bike.
If the snow falls a little heavier, even a tricycle will be unable to drive.
After riding his bicycle around for a while, Li Jiayi rode his bicycle into an alley.
When he came out of the alley, there was a chicken, a fish, and two pieces of meat hanging on the bicycle handlebar.
These are the ones Nan Yi asked for. In addition to these, Li Jiayi also took out some vegetables and put them in a net bag.
This season, there are basically no green vegetables in the Imperial Capital. The only green vegetable is cabbage.
And what Li Jiayi brought out were all out-of-season vegetables at this time.
Not only that, Li Jiayi also took out two cakes that were not very big from the space.
Yes, it's a cake, and it's a cake he made himself.
At that time, when I was shopping for zero dollars in the United States, several large shopping malls had cake shops.
So there are a lot of raw materials in it, and when Li Jiayi was in college, he worked in a cake shop during the winter and summer vacations.
When it comes to making cakes, as long as it's not too fancy, there's no problem at all.
I made a few before when I had nothing to do, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy now.
The reason why I took out two of them was that one was given to Nan Yi, and the other one was of course taken home to eat!
Li Jiayi was given boxes for both cakes, so he tied himself to the back seat of the bicycle.
After being out for almost an hour, Li Jia hurried home.
Fortunately, it was relatively close, and within five or six minutes, Li Jiayi returned to the yard.
No one in the courtyard said anything when they saw the things hanging on the handlebars of Li Jiayi's bicycle.
The first is that Li Jiayi and the others cannot afford to offend him.
The second thing is that he is used to it. Li Jiayi often brings something back, but what he brought today is quite small.
But so what, Li Jiayi has already started making money before he graduates. Not only does he earn salary, but he also makes money by translating materials for factories at school.
In other words, people are not short of money at all. Since they are not short of money, it is not normal to go to Pigeon Market to buy something and come back.
If this were me, I would probably be the same.
It’s a pity that I am short of money! With a monthly salary of just that much, after purchasing the ration, and excluding household expenses, there would be no money left at all.
"Jiayi is back?"
When passing by the middle courtyard, I happened to meet Aunt Xu coming out of the house.
Seeing Jia Yi, Aunt Xu quickly said hello.
You must know that their family's current life is basically due to Li Jiayi's help.
I don’t know how much he has helped overtly and covertly over the years. Not only that, he also helped his son get a job quota.
It was still a job quota established by the clerk, which suddenly changed her family's life.
"Yes, Aunt Xu, have you finished your meal?"
"I haven't eaten it yet, but it will be ready soon."
"Well! Then I'll go back first."
"Okay, go back quickly! Your family will probably have dinner soon."
"Yes."
Li Jiayi pushed his bicycle to the backyard and directly to the door of Nan Yi's house.
"Uncle Nan." Li Jia called into the room.
The door opened quickly, and it was not Nan Yi who opened the door, but Liang Ladi.
"Plus one is here?"
Because Liang Ladi had been here several times, she was familiar with Li Jiayi.
"Aunt Liang."
Li Jiayi shouted first, and then said: "These are the things Uncle Nan asked for, I brought them over."
"Well! Thank you for adding one."
"You're welcome."
Li Jiayi first handed over the ingredients, then tied up the bicycle and untied the cake behind it.
One of them mentioned it and said, "Aunt Liang, I don't know whose birthday it is, and I don't have any preparations. This cake is just a gift from me."
"Ah! How can this be done? You should take it back plus one!" Liang Ladi said quickly.
"Take it, Aunt Liang, I have another one here."
"This..."
"Okay Aunt Liang, even Uncle Nan wouldn't be polite to me."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liang Ladi took the cake and said, "Thank you! Jiayi."
"You're welcome, I'll go back first."
"Well! Go back quickly!"
As soon as Li Jia carried the cake and pushed the bicycle, he headed home.
Seeing Li Jiayi leaving, Liang Ladi turned around and entered the house.
When Li Jiayi returned home, it was almost time for dinner at home.
"Brother, is this the cake from the movie?" The second sister saw what he was carrying and quickly came up to take it and asked.
Of course, this kind of thing won't appear in domestic movies, but the cinema shows not only domestic movies, but also some movies by Lao Maozi.
This cake appeared in Lao Maozi's movie, so Li Jialin asked.
"Second sister, you are right, this is the cake."
"I said, brother, you can do it! You can even get a cake. Next time it's my birthday, you must prepare one for me."
"Second sister, are you stupid? If it's your birthday, it's my birthday. You still need to say this."
"Uh!" Li Jialin was stunned for a moment, it was really true!
Yes, although Li Jiayi knew that his birthday was one day later than Li Jialin, he still celebrated his birthday with his second sister.
It's just a birthday, it doesn't matter if it's one day earlier or one day later.
At this moment, Liao Qingxue ran in from outside, and after entering, she stared at the cake in Li Jialin's hand.
Needless to say, this little girl probably saw Li Jiayi giving Liang Ladi a cake just now.
And I also heard the conversation between him and Liang Ladi and knew it was a cake.
You know, the west wing where Nan Yi lives is very close to Nan Yi’s house!
What's more, the two people were still talking at the door. It would be strange if they couldn't hear them.
"Hey, Qingxue, why are you here?" Li Jialin asked quickly when she saw the little girl.
"Sister Jialin, are you holding the cake?"
"That's right! Your brother Jiayi just got it back."
"Can Qingxue eat it?" Liao Qingxue bit her finger and asked.
This girl is not yet three years old, so it can be said that she is in the prime of eating.
I used to come to Li Jia's family often to have a meal, not to mention now, I come here almost every three to five.
"Of course Qingxue can eat it, but I have to wait until after dinner to eat the cake. Does Qingxue want to stay for dinner?" Li Jialin asked.
"Yeah! Qingxue wants to stay for dinner."
"Okay, wait until I put the cake down, and I'll take you to wash your hands." Li Jialin said, touching the little girl's head.
No one would say anything about Liao Qingxue coming to the house to have a meal. After all, this girl is just a child.
As for Li Jiayi and his family, they all like children very much. Liao Qingxue laughed a lot more when she stayed at his house.
"Brother Jiayi, give me a hug." When Li Jialin went to put the cake, the little girl stretched out her hand to Li Jiayi.
"Okay! Do you want Brother Jiayi to help you wash your hands?" Li Jiayi asked, tapping the tip of the little girl's nose.
"No, I want to wash it with Sister Jialin."
"Okay then!"
Soon Li Jialin put down the cake and came over, taking the little girl from Li Jiayi's hand.
"Let's go, sister will take you to wash your hands."
"Yeah!"
"Brother, you'd better get married as soon as possible! Once you have children, your family will be more lively." Li Chenghou said suddenly at this time.
His words not only stunned Li Chengqian for a moment, but even Li Jiayi almost turned his head and glanced at him.
I don't understand why he said this.
"Get out of here." Li Chengqian kicked him and cursed.
"I'm not wrong." Li Cheng later muttered aggrievedly.
In fact, Li Chengqian's marriage has been put forward, and now he can get married when he reaches the age requirement.
Because the betrothal gift and so on have already been given, and the marriage has been set.
Although all necessary procedures have been completed, we still have to wait a few months to get married.
At this time, Li Jiayi looked at Li Cheng and said: "Second brother, you're almost done. I guess it will be your turn to get engaged next year."
Li Chenghou curled his lips and said: "I'm only seventeen. Even if I'm engaged, I'll have to be nineteen! How can it be next year."
"Who said you can't get engaged at the age of 18? As long as you don't get married, you can get engaged at any age."
"Uh!" After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't even have a partner, so why should I get engaged?"
Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "Don't you have anyone you can introduce? I'll tell my mother in the future and ask my mother to talk to the matchmaker."
"Don't! Brother, you are my biological brother, you must not do this." Li Cheng said begging for mercy.
"What's wrong, second brother, I'm just introducing someone to you. I'm going to scare you."
Li Chenghou said with a sad face: "But I don't want to get married so early! Get married at the age of twenty, and I'm still a child!"
"Twenty-year-old child, you really haven't grown up." Li Chengqian said.
"What's wrong with the twenty-year-old? It's not like there aren't any." Li Cheng then gave his eldest brother a roll of his eyes and said.
Li Jiayi scratched his head at this time, looked at Li Cheng and said: "Second brother, if you are a child, then I am a baby."
"Pfft!" Li Cheng later almost choked on his saliva and said, "Just you, give me back the baby. Whose baby is so big?"
"My home! Besides, I'm only one year and one hundred and seventy-two months old, so why am I not a baby anymore."
"A baby one year and one hundred and seventy-two months old?" The second sister came in after helping Liao Qingxue wash her hands, and heard Li Jiayi's words, followed by another sentence.
Li Jiayi is now fifteen years and four months, and fourteen years and four months is exactly one hundred and seventy-two months.
Li Jiayi turned his head and looked at the second sister and asked: "What, is there a problem?"
"No, no problem, but if you calculate it this way, then am I not the same as you?"
Li Jiayi curled his lips and said: "Second sister, we are different. I am one year and one hundred and seventy-two months old, and you are fifteen years and four months old. How can it be the same?"
"So you are the baby and I am the adult, right?"
"Yes! Who makes you my sister? You can't be younger than me!"
Just at this time, Ye Xin came in from outside with food. Li Jialin quickly ran over and said, "Mom, my brother said he is still a baby."
"You kid, what are you talking about? Your brother is already fifteen, how can he still be a baby?" Ye Xin put the dishes on the table and tapped Li Jialin's forehead.
"Mom, this is not what I said, but what my brother said himself."
"How is it possible? How could your brother say that? I think you girl said it yourself." Ye Xin obviously didn't believe that his son would say that.
"Mom, what I said is true. My brother said he is one year and one hundred and seventy-two months old."
"Pfft!" Ye Xin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Jiayi, stretched out his thumb and said, "Son, there is nothing wrong with what you said."
Ye Xin's reaction made Li Jialin very hurt. It was too obvious!
What she said was nonsense, but if it had been her brother who said it, there would be nothing wrong with it.
Why is there such a big gap between this person and other people?
"Mom, you..."
Before Li Jialin could finish speaking, Ye Xin interrupted her and said, "Okay, hurry up and help serve the food. Do you want to eat yet?"
"Eat, I'll eat." Li Jialin said suspiciously.
"Just go and bring it after you eat it."
"Oh!"
Seeing the second sister going to serve the food, the eldest brother Li Chengqian quickly took a few cups to the side room to get some wine.
The family had a clear division of labor, and soon the food was placed on the Eight Immortals table.
Of course, wine and juice can’t be missed either!
"Come Qingxue, come to Auntie, and Auntie will feed you." Seeing Liao Qingxue clinging to her son, Ye Xin said quickly.
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded and ran over quickly.
She picked up the little girl and gave her a piece of ribs. Then she looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Is it cool for you and Empress Cheng to live in that house?"
"Auntie, it's not cold now."
"Yeah! Let me know when it gets cold, and I'll bring two more quilts over there then."
"Okay aunt."
"By the way, go back and move the stove over and install it, and then transport some coal over. It can be burned at any time."
"Yeah! I know."
Of course Li Jiayi had prepared the stove, and it had been prepared a long time ago, but it had never been moved.
The meal lasted for more than half an hour, and everyone was full and drunk. The eldest sister Li Jiaqi made a pot of tea before starting to clear the table.
Then the family drank tea around the Eight Immortals Table.
At this moment, Li Jialin quickly went over to take the cake and opened it.
Since no one had a birthday, we just cut it open and gave everyone a piece.
Fortunately, the cake was not big, otherwise I would not have been able to finish it, after all, I had just finished eating.
"What time is it, girl, and you still haven't come home?" Liao Kai's voice came from outside the door.
Soon Liao Kai also came into the room.
"Uncle Liao, you're late, we just finished eating the cake." Li Jialin said jokingly.
"Dad." The little girl ran over quickly.
One look at this girl's bulging belly, and Liao Kai knew that she had eaten a lot.
"You girl, it's not like you don't have food at home."
"Eat the cake."
Hearing what the little girl said, Liao Kai understood why the girl ran over.
When Li Jiayi was talking to Liang Ladi, Liao Kai also heard it.
"You're just greedy." Liao Kai clicked on Xiaoya's head and said.
"Xiao Kai, since you are here, sit down and drink some tea."
"Okay Brother Li."
When he heard about tea, Liao Kai did not refuse, because the tea Li Jia and his family drank was really good! It's impossible to drink it outside.
When Liao Kai sat down with the little girl in his arms, the eldest sister had already poured the tea for him and handed it to him.
"Thank you Jiaqi."
"Uncle Liao, you are so polite."
Liao Kai took a sip and put down the quilt, then looked at Ye Xin and asked: "Sister-in-law, you are familiar with Director Xu. Have you heard from Director Xu, when does the winter vegetable storage start?"
