Chapter 338 No one can be left behind
"He works as the logistics director at the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant. What, you want to work with him?"
Li Jiayi shook his head and said: "What should I do with him?"
With his ability, how could he possibly go to Li Huaide to do something? Li Huaide was just as good as him.
Also, Li Jiayi took He Yuzhu away from the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant! Fortunately no one knew it was him.
You must know that this Li Huaide is a lover of food! I wonder if someone has been found to take over He Yuzhu's position now.
But this had nothing to do with him. The main reason why he asked the captain was because the captain had mentioned to him once before that there was a person in the village who worked as a logistics director in the city.
I just didn't expect that this person was really Li Huaide from the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant.
After the captain left, the old man asked: "Grandson, why did you think of asking Goudan?"
Of course Goudan is Li Huaide's nickname. The old man used to call him that, so of course he couldn't be called by his current name.
"No, the captain told me once before, but he didn't say who it was, so I just asked casually."
"I see, but don't ask him to do anything. This man only cares about money."
"Uh! What's going on?" Li Jia was stunned and asked.
"Someone in the village came to him before and wanted to work in the city. He didn't say he wouldn't help, but he needed money. You also know what our village was like before. How could we have so much money to buy a job?"
< br>
"That's it." Li Jia nodded.
"Since entering the city, his family has never returned to the village once, and even his family members have not interacted with him."
Hearing what his grandfather said, Li Jiayi shook his head and said: "It is really a failure to be like this."
No matter when, although it is said that there are close personal relationships, if even people from my own family are like this, then this person will be like this.
"He has been like this since he was a child. I am a few years younger than him, but I have known him since I was a child and know what kind of person he is." The uncle said.
"Well! Our family doesn't need his help anyway, and what he does has nothing to do with us."
Although they are all from the same ancestor, they are still far away from each other. Li Jiayi's sect is far away from them.
It is estimated that the old man and his father are within the fifth server, and he and his uncle are outside the fifth server, not to mention Li Jiayi and his children.
"Hurry and wash your hands and eat." Grandma came into the house with dishes and said.
"Okay."
Whether it is grandpa or uncle, the one holding the basin takes the basin, the one pouring the hot water pours the hot water, and soon they wash their hands and start eating.
Lunch was very rich, including chicken, duck, and braised pork.
Anyway, it’s all ready-made, so you can eat whatever you want.
After eating, Li Jiayi did not stay. He went back late last time, and there was still some snow on the road.
Even in places where there is little snow, the road is a bit slippery, otherwise it would not have taken so long when Li Jiayi came.
Of course, when he left, Li Jiayi also left a lot of things for his grandparents, including chickens and ducks, and a piece of meat.
As for the uncle's house, there is no need for this. Since the second brother also came to the city, the grandparents and the uncle and aunt have eaten together.
Of course, we only eat together when we eat, and we usually live on both sides. There is no other way, how can we live together when we have so many things?
Besides, grandma’s house can’t accommodate so many people! Unless the West House is vacated.
But in that case, we have to find a place to put food and other things.
This is not a problem. Don’t forget that grandma’s house has a cellar for storing food! It's just a little troublesome.
In fact, it's quite good now. When it's time to cook, the aunt comes over to help cook, and after dinner, you can go back to work.
Hurrying slowly, I finally returned to the city before four o'clock in the afternoon. After delivering the things to the district bureau, Li Jiayi went home with the ticket issued by Squad Leader Wang.
When I got home, my family was all here, and today was Sunday! You finally have a day off, why don’t you stay at home?
"Son, the exam will be in a few days. You must go to school well starting from tomorrow."
"I know, Mom!" Li Jiayi said helplessly.
Thinking about it, it is indeed time to go to school. Although the exam is not difficult for him, he still has to go and have a look!
Also, there will be nothing to do after the exam is over, until school starts on March 1 next year according to the Gregorian calendar.
In the meantime, you can't just play whatever you want.
And after finishing the exam this time, he will graduate in the next semester, and then he will go to work in the factory.
Others need to report every day when they go to work, but he doesn't need to at all.
The reason why others go to report is to go to the finance department to collect money and go to the countryside to collect supplies!
But he always delivers the supplies and then collects the money, but this is different.
Of course, others can also do this, that is, advance the money themselves first, and then receive the money after the materials are delivered to the factory.
But few people would do this. As for the reason, Li Jiayi really didn’t know.
Because this is a normal thing for him, he doesn't understand why no one does it.
"By the way, son, are everything okay back home?" Ye Xin asked.
“It’s all good.”
"That's good. We have been in the city these years, and your grandparents have been in the countryside, so you can't stay with them. Fortunately, you can go back often."
"Well! After I graduate, I can go back at any time, or even live in my hometown for a while."
His job is to complete the task every month, which is difficult for others, but for him, there is nothing easier than this.
Not only that, he exceeds his mission every month.
"Hahaha, that's right! Your job is different from others."
"Oh! By the way, my uncle is now the captain of the production team."
"Captain of the production team? When did our village have a production team?" Li Aimin asked.
"Isn't this what the above requires? Each brigade must have at least five production teams, so the brigade leader found my uncle."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin thought for a moment and said, "I guess your uncle doesn't want to be the captain, right?"
"I really don't want to be the captain, but it's the right time to go as captain! It happened to be when my uncle was at my grandpa's house."
You don't need to think about it to know that the captain did it on purpose. He usually doesn't know when Li Aiguo will pass by, so he doesn't take any action.
This time Li Jiayi went to the village to collect supplies, and Li Aiguo would definitely go to help! So it was blocked.
"Your uncle is not lazy, but he doesn't want to meddle in so many other things. The main reason is that he doesn't want to cause trouble for you."
"Looking for trouble for me? What trouble are you looking for for me?" Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"You!" Li Aimin shook his head and said, "If your uncle is not the captain, then he doesn't have to worry about anything. But if he becomes the captain, when everyone comes to him to help, do you think he will help or not?"
"What help can they ask my uncle for?"
"You! You have brought your two cousins to the city. Is this because of your ability? When their children want to work in the city, will they ask your uncle for help?"
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment. Don't tell me, this is really possible.
"But this is what my grandfather agreed to! My grandfather wouldn't have thought of this, right?"
Li Aimin shook his head and said: "Then I don't know."
"By the way, Dad, do you know Li Huaide?" Li Jiayi looked at his father and asked.
"Li Huaide? Who is it?"
"Uh! It's just a dog egg."
"Goudan? Why did you remember to ask him? He has moved to the city for more than ten years and has never returned to his hometown."
"Well! His name is Li Huaide now, and he works as the logistics director at the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant."
"What, it couldn't be the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant where Zhu Zhu worked before, right?" Li Aimin asked.
"Are there several third rolling mills in the imperial capital?" Li Jiayi asked, scratching his head.
"Uh! Just one."
"That's it, it's the third rolling mill, and Li Huaide and Brother Zhuzi still haven't dealt with it."
"Son, please stop dealing with this man. Who can imagine what will happen to a man who can even lose his ancestors?"
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't deal with him. Besides, he's just the director of the logistics department, and I don't like him either."
Hearing Li Jiayi's words, Li Aimin was speechless!
Even the director of the logistics department looks down upon him, and he, the deputy section chief, looks down upon him even more.
"What's wrong, Dad? What's your expression?"
"Son, you can do it now! Even the director of the logistics department looks down upon me, so do you look down upon me, the deputy chief of the warehousing department, even more?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm talking about an outsider, what does it have to do with you?"
Li Jiayi looked at his father helplessly, not understanding what kind of logical thinking he was thinking.
However, Li Jiayi was right. The third rolling mill is currently only a division-level unit.
A director of the Logistics Department, even if he is highly qualified, is at most deputy director level, and probably at the department level.
Even if he is at the deputy director level, it doesn't matter to Li Jiayi, who are all the people he knows!
Director of the First Woolen Textile Factory, director level, secretary, director level, several deputy directors, deputy director level, director of the machine repair shop, director level, director of the Fifth Steel Rolling Mill, director level, Hongye Iron and Steel Works Director, deputy director level, bread factory director is the lowest level, that is also deputy department level! Moreover, he is still the head of a factory.
In addition, Director Hu and Political Commissar Huang of the District Bureau are all at the deputy department level, and even several deputy directors are at the division level.
So Li Jiayi was right when he said that he looked down on Li Huaide, the director of the logistics department.
You must know that in the No. 1 Woolen Textile Factory, any department director is at the senior level!
In particular, the director of the Logistics Department is also a high-level deputy department, including the general director of the workshop, who is also a deputy department.
"That's right, Dad, you think too much." The eldest sister said with a smile.
When his eldest daughter said this, Li Aimin felt his face get a little hot. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
But think about it! As a deputy section chief, it is true that he is not on the stage. The most important thing is that he was promoted as a deputy section chief for the sake of his son.
Otherwise, he might not be able to become a deputy subject until he retires, and he is still a seventeenth-level deputy subject.
You must know that at the next level, at least it is a full-time department, and it may also be a deputy department.
Yes, the sixteenth level is the deputy department and the main department, but even the deputy department is the lowest administrative level.
But having said that, the deputy director with the lowest rank is also a deputy director! At least he is one level higher than Zhengke in terms of position.
"Okay, I think you're just looking for trouble. Come on, come cook with me." Ye Xin said.
"Oh!" Li Aimin agreed and followed Ye Xin to the kitchen.
"By the way, eldest sister, I heard that you have been promoted?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Hey, how do you know? Oh! I forgot, you are more familiar with me in the district bureau." The eldest sister blushed and said.
No one would believe it if I told him that he was not as familiar with the place where he worked as his younger brother.
My younger brother can name anyone in the district bureau by name and position, and he knows more than a dozen colleagues in the department.
There were also the director and the political commissar, and that was because the director and the political commissar asked her to come over and talk.
Of course, this was said to the outside world, but in fact it was not the case. It was just that the director and the political commissar asked her to come over and say a few words.
And this is also because of her younger brother, otherwise the director and the political commissar would know who she is!
For example, for this promotion, to be honest, normally, it would not be her turn anyway. She has only been working for a few months!
Looking at the colleagues in the department, some have been working for a year and have just been promoted to full-time jobs, but she was promoted to a full-time job just after she arrived. She has only been working for half a year and has been promoted to another level.
You must know that according to the normal process, it will take at least three years to upgrade after becoming a regular!
Even though it's only one level, it's the administrative level 25, which is equivalent to a college student working.
A technical secondary school student who has been working for half a year is equivalent to a college student working.
She didn't dare to think about it, so she didn't tell anyone, including her colleagues in the department, and she didn't even tell her family when she came back.
"Sister, don't think so much, I haven't gone to work yet! If I don't still get the twenty-fourth level salary, it will be one level higher than you!"
Yes, Li Jiayi is now at the 24th level of administrative level, which is equivalent to a college student becoming a full-time employee. There is no room for justification.
"Can you be the same as me? You have grades, and you level up based on your grades, while I level up based on your performance. These are two different concepts."
"Whether it's gluing or grades, just mention it. Why do you care so much?"
"Aren't I afraid that my colleagues will gossip? They don't know about my promotion yet. If they knew, they would definitely gossip."
"It's okay. I'll tell Director Hu later and ask him not to tell anyone, but when you get your salary, it's best to go alone."
"Uh!" The eldest sister was stunned for a moment and said, "Everyone gets paid on that day. Even if I go alone, there are colleagues from other departments."
"It's okay, then you can get it one day later."
"Is that okay if I wait a day later to get it?"
"Others don't know if it can work, but you can definitely do it, and I will ask Director Hu from the finance department to say hello and tell them not to tell anyone."
"Yeah!" The eldest sister nodded.
"But eldest sister! As the saying goes, paper can't contain the fire. Sooner or later, people will know about you."
"It's okay, you will know one day at a time."
"Okay then!"
To be honest, Li Jiayi was a little confused and didn't understand what the Hu Bureau was doing. The eldest sister could become a full-time employee directly after arriving at the district bureau, which was a year faster than others.
And just after working for half a year, he was promoted to another level. You must know that this is not his request!
When the eldest sister was going to the district bureau, Li Jiayi just said that she could become a full-time employee as soon as possible and did not mention the promotion.
He was transferred as soon as the news was reported, which was considered to have met his requirements. Li Jiayi was not dissatisfied.
In other words, this promotion was the intention of Bureau Hu and Political Commissar Huang and had nothing to do with him at all.
But Li Jiayi knew that this could be regarded as compensation for him. After all, if he sent so many things to any factory, Li Jiayi could make a lot more money.
Since there is no way to increase Li Jiayi's salary for the time being, he can only upgrade his eldest sister.
"Sister, work hard, maybe you can catch up to my level when I graduate."
Li Jiayi is currently at the twenty-fourth level of administration, and the eldest sister is at the twenty-fifth level, which is just one level behind.
At this time, Li Jialin walked up to Li Jiayi and asked: "Brother! Do you think I can advance to a higher level by then?"
Li Jiayi shrugged and said: "How do I know that? It depends on you. If you do well, you will be promoted. If you are not good at it, you will take your time."
"No! Sister can do it, why can't I?"
"Because the eldest sister is the eldest sister, and you are just the second sister, there are only so many differences."
"Uh! You..."
"Okay, you're still early! Why are you in a hurry!" Li Jiayi said helplessly.
"Okay!"
Thinking that this was indeed the case, Li Jialin did not continue.
"By the way, the exam will be in a few days. Do you have any questions?" Li Jiayi looked at the second sister and asked.
"No problem, at least it's no problem if you pass the test."
"That's good."
If you go to technical secondary school, as long as you pass the exam, there will be no problem. Of course, the more scores you get, the better.
You must know that some people will compete for some good grades.
In this era when there are very few college students, technical secondary school students are highly educated!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to work as a cadre.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day of the exam. Li Jiayi has been in school these days.
There are a lot of things to learn in technical secondary schools, so the exams are held over three days, which happens to be Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Li Jiayi is very relaxed now, and so are his family members. Now is not the entrance exam! So no one cared at all.
Especially Li Jiayi, whether he is his father, mother or eldest sister, it is extremely relaxed because his job has been fixed.
As long as you get your diploma, you can start working immediately, and you don't even need to be assigned by the school.
However, it is impossible for the school to allocate Li Jiayi to Li Jiayi. The woolen mill has already distributed it to the school.
It can be said that as soon as Li Jia was confirmed to work in the woolen mill, the beginning of the woolen mill began.
Three days of exams passed by in a flash, and Li Jiayi completely relaxed. Tomorrow is the day to return to his hometown to collect supplies.
That night, Li Jiayi's family was very lively. In order to celebrate Li Jiayi and Li Jialin's successful completion of the exam, Ye Xin called Liao Kai's family, He Yuzhu's family and Nan Yi's family over.
As for Li Jiafen, there is still some time before the exam. Technical secondary schools are similar to universities, and exams and holidays are relatively early.
As for cooking, of course it falls on the three chefs.
Now Liao Kai has obtained the first-level chef certificate, and He Yuzhu and Nan Yi are currently third-level chefs.
There is no way. Although it is their first time to take the exam, they can only pass Level 3 at the most.
If you want to take the Level 2 exam, you have to wait until next year. As for Level 1, it can be in the second half of next year or the year after.
Don't worry about this for now. You must know that the grading examination was stopped after six or six years, and it was stopped for ten years.
Of course, this is only for ordinary employees and has no impact on the administrative level and clerk equivalence.
During the ten years, many people were promoted, but only ordinary employees were evaluated during the ten years.
For example, six or six years ago you were a first-level fitter, electrician, blacksmith, or eighth-level cook, etc., and you were still at this level until 1976.
Because there were too many people, the two Eight Immortals tables for Li Jia's family, one large and one small, were simply not enough. They had no choice but to move the Eight Immortals tables from He Yuzhu's family.
As for Liao Kai and the others, they really showed off their talents today! Because Li Jiayi prepared all the ingredients.
You can have whatever you want, as long as they can make it.
And what He Yuzhu cooked today was his specialty! Tan's cuisine, He Yuzhu wouldn't be able to cook it in normal times! Lack of ingredients.
The ingredients used in Tan's cuisine are relatively high-end, such as sea cucumbers, abalones, etc., which are basically impossible to find.
But Li Jiayi is not lacking in space! He emptied out five large shopping malls. Similarly, he also emptied out five large supermarkets, which will be the supermarkets of later generations.
Of course, He Yuzhu also cooks some relatively simple Tanjia dishes, and many Tanjia dishes take a long time. Some even have to start preparations one or two days in advance. There is not so much time for him, so he can only do some simple things.
After more than an hour, we started eating, but the three Eight Immortals tables were all full.
To say who is the happiest today, it is definitely not Li Jiayi and Li Jialin, the two people who have passed the exam, but a few children.
Including the Damao brothers and sisters, and Liao Qingxue.
Because there are many things that he or she has never eaten before, and even apart from these, they are all chicken, fish, meat and eggs!
Who doesn’t like to eat children? Especially the delicious ones, there is no resistance at all.
"Jialin, plus one, congratulations on successfully completing the exam." Liao Kai said, raising his glass.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Li Jiayi and his second sister quickly picked up the juice.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As soon as Liao Kai put down his glass after drinking, Nan Yi also picked up the glass and said, "Congratulations on the end of the exam."
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
After Nan Yi congratulated, it was He Yuzhu, then Liang Ladi, Xu Wenwen, Qian Meilian, He Yuzhu, and even the old lady took out the juice and congratulated.
Not to mention the children, congratulations over and over again, just like fun, made Li Jiayi dumbfounded.
The meal lasted for more than an hour. Of course, I also drank a lot of wine. I don’t know how much white wine I drank because I drank it from a wine vat, but I drank two bottles of red wine.
Everyone was happy except the kids.
"Plus one! Go and fire up the sauna. I'm going to have a sauna today." Li Aimin said.
"I know dad! I'm going to burn it right now."
As soon as Li Jia came to the sauna, he first heated the sauna and then boiled the water.
The water is used later, so there is no need to burn it first.
After everything was cooked, Li Jiayi returned to the house. The table had been cleared and everyone was drinking tea.
"Are you ready?" Li Aimin asked when he saw him coming in.
"Yeah! It's done."
"Then let's go wash first." Ye Xin stood up and helped the old lady out.
There were too many people, so Li Jiayi didn't plan to steam. He could just take a shower in the space.
So after his mother went out, Li Jiayi went upstairs.
After locking the door from the inside, he entered the space.
I'd better walk through my daily journey first, then take a shower, and then go back to my room to sleep.
There is no way! He has to get up early tomorrow, so of course he has to go to bed early.
A night of silence.
At 5:30 the next morning, Li Jiayi came out of the space. At this time, it was still dark outside.
It's normal. The weather in December is dark all day long, not to mention after 5 o'clock, even after 6 o'clock.
When we came downstairs, no one in the family had gotten up yet. It was too early to get up at this time.
Especially the second sister, who loves to sleep in, is on vacation now and probably won't get up.
Li Jia opened the door, but he was a little dumbfounded because there was a vast expanse of white outside.
Without even thinking about it, he knew it was snowing again, which made him speechless. If he had known it was going to snow, why would he have come out of the space so early?
It seemed that there was no way to go to the village to collect supplies today, so Li Jiayi went over to light the fireplace.
If you don’t go back to the village and don’t go to school, then the most likely option is to stay at home.
Even if he doesn't stay at home, the second sister still has to stay at home!
Now that he has come out of the space, it is impossible to go back in, so Li Jiayi took a shovel and shoveled the snow outside.
Less than a third of the entire yard was shoveled before my mother came out of the house.
"Hey, why is it snowing again?" Mom said in surprise.
Then Ye Xin saw Li Jiayi, and her mother asked: "Son, why did you get up so early?"
"Originally I planned to go back to the village, but when I got up I found it was snowing, so I had to shovel the snow."
"That's it! Then you shovel slowly! I'm going to cook. You don't have to go to school now. Your dad, your sister and your two cousins and I still have to go to work."
"Well! Go ahead! With this little snow, I'll finish shoveling it before you can finish the meal."
In this era, it is normal to snow in November, and it often snows in December, which will not be imagined in future generations.
You must know that in future generations, it may not snow even once in December.
Just as Ye Xing entered the kitchen, Li Aimin also came out of the house.
"Hey, son, you are very diligent today! You even knew how to shovel the snow."
Li Jiayi gave Li Aimin a roll of his eyes and said, "When did I stop being lighthearted?"
"Okay, okay, you are diligent. The person who doesn't know how to help the oil bottle when it falls down actually says that he is diligent."
Hearing what his father said, Li Jiayi was speechless. He didn't know how to pay when the oil bottle was empty!
It's just that he can't touch the oil bottle at all.
His mother wouldn't let him enter the kitchen at all, so he wouldn't touch the oil bottle.
It was exactly what he thought. He had just finished shoveling the snow and piled it under the wall of the front room. His mother had also prepared the meal.
The eldest sister and cousin have already gotten up, and even the eldest and second brothers have come over.
But he didn't see the second sister. Needless to say, the second sister slept in again today.
"Okay! Plus one, I finished shoveling the snow so quickly, and I even asked to come over and help you shovel it together!" said the second brother.
Li Jia gave him a straight look and said: "You can pull it off! If you really wanted to help me shovel the snow, you wouldn't have come so late."
After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment.
It's not that he didn't want to help, it was mainly because he started shoveling the snow as soon as he got up, and just finished shoveling the place where he lived.
As for the eldest brother, he went to help others shovel the snow early in the morning. As for who he helped, of course it was Sun Qingmin!
"Okay, go wash your hands and eat." Ye Xin said to Li Jiayi.
"Okay."
"Have you two washed up?" Ye Xin looked at the two cousins and asked.
"Aunt, we have finished washing up."
"Now that you're done washing up, go in and eat quickly. If you don't go to work today, just stay at home."
"Hmm!"
When Li Jia entered the room and washed his hands and came out, the food had been placed. As soon as Li Jia sat down, he served himself a bowl of millet porridge.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of millet porridge, I picked up a steamed bun and started eating.
If you eat steamed buns in the morning, it goes without saying that there must be meat and vegetables. If it is steamed buns, there will be no fried meat and vegetables.
It took Li Jiayi ten minutes to finish the meal.
After finishing the meal, Li Jia thought for a moment and added some firewood to the fireplace.
At this time, he remembered that today seemed to be Sunday and he didn't need to go to work at all.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going out for a while."
"Why are you going there in such heavy snow?" Ye Xin asked.
"I went to see Fatty to play. I've been busy during this period and haven't seen each other yet. I just have nothing to do now. I'll go over and have a look."
"Okay, go ahead and come back early at noon."
"Got it."
Yes, Li Jiayi wanted to go out. You must know that high school has finished its exams and is on vacation.
He could just go to his younger brothers and ask them to help him buy wine from the supply and marketing cooperative.
It had just fallen snow and he couldn't use the sled yet, so he had to walk out.
Li Jia didn't take his dog with him when he went out. In the past, when his eldest sister went to work, he would ask Ah Sheng or Ah Quan to follow her.
But the eldest sister felt that the impact was not good, so she stopped taking it with her. Also, as a public security officer, she still takes a dog with her to and from get off work. What should ordinary people do?
After coming out of Courtyard No. 7, Li Jiayi walked to Fatty's house.
The fat man's family also lives in a courtyard house, and they live in three main rooms.
When Li Jiayi came over, Fatty and his parents were there, and they were also resting today.
It's just that Fatty is still under the covers. When they see Li Jia coming, Fatty's parents are very enthusiastic.
Yes, you must know that Li Jiayi helped their family a lot!
During the three difficult years, if it weren't for Li Jiayi, their family would really be struggling.
In three years, the grain they bought from Li Jiayi was definitely no less than two thousand kilograms.
And this is really food, not counting all kinds of meat. If they were all included, it would be a lot.
There are so many things that made it easy for their family to live during the three difficult years.
Although it cost a lot of money, no one else had the money to buy it.
"Come and drink some tea." Father Guo personally made a cup of tea for Li Jiayi and brought it over.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Why are you so polite? This is the tea someone gave me. How do you like it?"
"Hmm!"
Dad Guo is the workshop director of the meat joint factory. Nowadays, many factories have connections in the meat joint factory, just to get more meat.
As the workshop director of the meat factory, of course there are people who are fawning over him! But it doesn't seem to be of any use.
After all, the meat in the meat joint factory is distributed, and he, the workshop director, is not in charge.
Li Jia took a sip and said, this tea is not bad.
Of course, this means that it is pretty good among ordinary teas, but there is no way to compare with the spiritual tea in his dimension.
But it's still good tea. It seems that the people who come to him for help have also taken the trouble.
"Little bastard, have you gotten up? How long will Jiayi wait for you?" Father Guo shouted into the room.
"Get up." Fatty's voice came from the house.
Sure enough, in less than three minutes, the fat man came out of the room, wearing a thick cotton coat and holding his hand.
"Li Jiayi, why are you here?"
This was at home, so the fat man called Li Jiayi by name. If he was outside, he would directly call him boss.
"I came over to play with you! I have been too busy these days and have no time to meet."
"Yes! We used to see each other on Sundays, but now you go to the countryside to collect supplies and you can't even see them on Sundays."
"Yes, but it won't happen anymore. Our school has been on vacation until March 1 next year."
The fat man rubbed his hands and said, "That's just like our school."
"Yeah! Except for junior high schools and elementary schools, other schools are pretty much the same."
"Yes."
Li Jiayi stayed and drank two cups of tea with Father Guo, chatted for a while, and then left with the fat man.
Arriving outside the courtyard, the fat man asked: "Boss, you didn't just come to play with me today, right?"
"Well! Let's go to the courtyard first."
"Okay."
Because they were walking there, the two of them walked for almost half an hour to get there.
Li Jia opened the door, and the two of them came to the courtyard and took out the key to open the door.
After entering the house, Li Jia said to the fat man: "Turn on the stove."
"Okay boss."
The fat man went to the yard to move firewood, while Li Jiayi took a tin bucket and a shovel to shovel coal.
Although it is snowing, there is no problem at all with the stack of firewood in the yard, mainly because it is covered with a layer of canvas.
Not to mention snow, even if it rains it won't be a big problem.
After chopping firewood and carrying it into the house, the fat man started to light a fire.
Soon the wood was chopped and burned, and Li Jiayi also came to the house carrying coal.
You can't add coal yet. You have to burn the firewood for a while before adding coal. That way it will be easier to ignite.
After chopping firewood and burning it, the room became much warmer, at least warmer than Fatty's house.
After all, the fat man's family is not willing to burn it like this, whether it is coal or wood.
Li Jiayi pulled up two chairs, handed one to the fat man and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, boss."
"You're so polite!"
"Hehehe." The fat man chuckled and scratched his head.
"Fat man, I called you here today because I want you to gather the brothers."
"Ah! Boss, are you planning to sell peanuts and melon seeds again?" the fat man asked with his eyes shining.
"No." Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "I plan to buy some wine, but the quantity is a bit large, so I want my brothers to help."
"Hey, boss, I'm just buying a drink. Don't worry! I'll take care of these things." The fat man patted his chest and said.
Li Jiayi gave him a look and said: "Go away, I want to buy a lot."
"Uh! Then boss, how much do you plan to buy?"
Li Jia thought for a while and said: "I don't know the exact amount, but it's a lot anyway. Tell your brothers, I will give you 20 cents for every bottle of wine you buy."
Two cents may not seem like much, but it is actually quite a lot. You must know that a person carrying two schoolbags can buy more than a dozen bottles in one trip.
At the end of the day, one or two hundred bottles is not a problem at all, including the time it takes to send the wine back.
"Isn't that right, boss? If you buy a bottle of wine, you'll be charged two cents for running errands? Isn't that too much?" the fat man asked.
"Not much. This is calculated. Anyway, just tell your brothers that you can come if you can. If you can't come, don't force it."
"Don't worry, boss, I'm sure everyone is willing to come."
Just kidding, it costs two cents to buy a bottle of wine! It’s not even dozens of times in one day!
The most important thing is that everyone has been holding it in for so long and can finally come out and wander around.
"Boss, when will I inform everyone?"
"If we can notify you now, then we won't delay coming over tomorrow to pick up my schoolbag and go out to buy wine."
"Okay, then I'll go now."
The schoolbags used to sell peanuts and melon seeds were kept here, but now they are just in use.
This kind of military school bag can be packed very well, and now there is no box outside the wine.
A military schoolbag can hold a dozen bottles without any problem.
What we have to consider now is whether it can be carried on the back. There should be no problem with this!
After all, they are all adults. It should be easy for adults to carry dozens of kilograms of stuff!
Of course, it’s just that the road is a bit far, because it’s impossible for everyone to buy alcohol in one place.
Let’s not talk about whether it will attract other people’s attention. How can the supply and marketing cooperative have so much wine for you to buy?
After the fat man left, Li Jia added a handful of coal to the stove, then took out the peanuts and melon seeds, sat in the yard and started eating them.
Li Jiayi didn't go back at noon, so he just ate something casually in the small courtyard.
Fatty didn't come back either, because it would take a lot of time for him to notify everyone.
It wasn't until after three o'clock in the afternoon that people started coming over one after another. The fat man must have calculated the time in advance.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came to the courtyard, including the fat man.
Sure enough, it was just like what the fat man said, no one was missing, all of them were present.
"Fat man, give everyone schoolbags first." Li Jiayi said.
"Okay boss."
"By the way, you have one too."
"Ah! Boss, should I buy it too?"
"Well! More people bring more strength. I'll stay here for the time being. Why do you stay here?"
"I understand, boss."
A light-haired schoolbag is not enough! Li Jiayi also wants to distribute money to everyone.
After everyone was given five hundred yuan, Li Jiayi said: "Tomorrow you will disperse and go to various supply and marketing cooperatives to buy wine. Remember, each of you can only buy eleven bottles of wine from each supply and marketing cooperative."
"Boss, what kind of wine should we buy?" asked a boy.
"Top ten famous wines, plus a bottle of Maotai, for a total of eleven bottles. When the time comes, you will see if a schoolbag can hold eleven bottles. If you can, go to the next supply and marketing cooperative. If you can't, see if you can still hold it. How much, you don’t need to go to other supply and marketing cooperatives, you can just replenish it directly at this supply and marketing cooperative.”
"I understand, boss."
"Oh! By the way, because I don't have a ticket, I buy premium wine, so the price will be higher."
