Chapter 355: Holding a big seat, the next step
"No, I..."
Before Lin Ling'er finished speaking, Li Jiayi interrupted her and said, "We are still young now, but don't worry, you are my wife, and you will be my wife for the rest of your life."
"Thank you!"
"No need to say thank you to me, no need to say it." Li Jia turned his head and looked at her and said.
"Yeah!"
"Okay, go to bed! You'll wake up early tomorrow."
"I know."
On the first day after marriage, I must have gotten up early, and I went there to pay my respects to my parents-in-law.
There are not so many rules now, but getting up early is a must. Of course, it is only now that there is no such thing in the future.
Yes, the wedding night, but both of them did nothing.
This is not to say that Li Jiayi doesn't want to, but that neither of them is ready.
Anyway, Li Jiayi was also a person who came here in later generations. For him, it was a bit too early to get married at the age of 18.
You should know that he was in his thirties in his previous life and was not married yet!
The two of them just lay down like this all night.
The next morning, the two of them woke up, and Lin Ling'er blushed and said, "I'm awake."
"Yeah!"
"Then let's get up quickly!"
"Okay."
Li Jiayi took a set of clothes into the bathroom and changed the clothes in the bathroom.
By the time he came out, Lin Ling'er had already changed her clothes.
The two of them came down from the upper floor together and happened to meet Ye Xin and came out of the room.
"Why are you two getting up so early?" Ye Xin asked.
"Mom, good morning." Lin Ling'er didn't know how to answer and shouted quickly.
"Good morning."
"Mom, it's time now, it's time to get up." Li Jiayi said with a smile.
"Okay!"
My mother was going to go to the kitchen to cook, and Lin Ling'er hurriedly followed and said, "Mom, I'll help you."
"You?" Ye Xin asked in confusion: "Do you know how to cook?"
You must know that Lin Ling'er is a young lady! Her five fingers are not touched by the spring water, which is what she is talking about.
"Mom, I can learn!"
"Okay! Then you can help me cook first. When you learn how to cook, you can help me cook."
"Okay mom."
Looking at Lin Ling'er's well-behaved appearance, Li Jia smiled, but he did not stop Lin Ling'er.
Lin Ling'er has no job now, so if she doesn't find something for her, she will probably be bored!
If you really learn how to cook, it would be pretty good. The whole family is at work and she can help cook at home.
This does not mean that Li Jia married a wife to cook, but it is called each having his own duties.
Li Jiayi couldn't go to the kitchen, and he didn't know how his mother taught him. Anyway, when the meal was ready, Lin Ling'er ran out with a dark face.
This dark face is really black, and the face is full of ashes.
"Hahaha! Are you burning the fire or going to burn the fire?" The second sister asked with a smile when she saw her like this.
"Second sister, isn't this the first time I'm burning a fire? But I've learned it." Lin Ling'er said.
"Just learn it."
I knew that Lin Ling'er was learning to cook, so my second sister didn't go into the kitchen after she got up.
After dinner, everyone in the family went to work, and there were only two people left in the family, Li Jiayi and Lin Ling'er.
"Don't you have to go to work?" Lin Ling'er asked.
"No, I have very free time. I just need to complete the tasks every month and don't need to go to the factory."
"Oh! That's pretty good."
"How are you? What do you think of burning fire for the first time today?"
Hearing Li Jia's question, Lin Ling'er said with a bitter face: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to burn fire."
"This is normal. After all, it's your first time burning the fire. Remember to burn it next time, don't add so much fire. As long as there is fire, add a little more, see if the fire is small."
"Hey, you can burn the fire?" Lin Ling'er looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and asked.
When Li Jiayi heard Lin Ling'er's words, he had a black line on his forehead. How did he say this? Is it strange that he would burn fire?
"No, my elder sister and second sister told me that my mother would not allow you to enter the kitchen, so you have never entered the kitchen since you were a child."
"I have never entered the kitchen, but this has nothing to do with whether I will burn the fire. I cook all the sauna and bathing at home in winter."
"Uh! So that's it."
"Okay, there's nothing to do today, I'll take you out for a walk!"
"Yeah!"
The two of them came outside, and Li Jia opened a jeep, asked Lin Ling'er to sit in the passenger seat, and then drove out of the city.
Yes, Li Jia wanted to take Lin Ling'er out of the city.
Of course, Li Jiayi also held a camera, and throughout the morning, Li Jiayi took Lin Ling'er to take pictures.
Although she also has a camera at home, she has never taken photos like this.
There is no need to worry about film at all, and you can take as much as you want.
There are photos of Lin Ling'er sitting in the jeep, and there are photos of Lin Ling'er carrying a jeep.
There are even photos of Lin Ling'er sitting on the jeep engine cover.
Of course, there are all kinds of landscape photos.
At noon, Li Jiayi and Lin Ling'er had a meal outside, then went to the Forbidden City for a walk, and also took a lot of photos.
In a blink of an eye, it was the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month. Today, Li Jiayi was going back to Lijia Village. Not only that, he also brought Liao Kai, Nan Yi and He Yuzhu with them.
Because the wedding will be held in my hometown tomorrow, we need to prepare in advance today.
As for my parents, my elder sister and the second sister, I plan to go there tomorrow morning.
As for how to get over, don’t there be a truck at home!
I have two cars at home. For such a long time, whether it is the eldest or second brother, I have learned to drive it.
After breakfast in the morning, Liao Kai and the other three came over, and each of them brought their own guys.
In this way, there is no need to prepare at that time, and every chef can use his own things easily.
"Let's go and add one."
"Okay Uncle Liao."
With a promise, Li Jiayi shouted upstairs: "Ling'er, are you ready?"
"Here you come."
I have to stay in the countryside for two days, of course I have to prepare some clothes, and they are going to hold a wedding! You must prepare wedding dresses.
"Son, you go here and prepare today. We will go there early tomorrow morning."
"Yeah! By the way! I'll give you the car key first." After Li Jia finished speaking, he handed over the key on the truck.
The truck was filled with oil, and it was only a long distance, and there was no problem running back and forth between two rounds.
"Okay."
Soon Lin Ling'er came down with a big bag, which contained her and Li Jiayi's clothes.
"Let's go Uncle Liao."
"Okay."
The five people came outside, Li Jia opened the back, put the bag in, and then helped Lin Ling'er pull the co-pilot away.
At this time, Liao Kai and the other three had already gotten in the car.
"I didn't expect it! I can still enjoy this treatment in my life." Liao Kai said with emotion.
"You can't help it! It seems like you have never taken a jeep with one more time. The three of us are the most you have taken." He Yuzhu said.
"Uh!" Liao Kai was stunned for a moment and said, "I said Zhuzi, can't you let me sigh?"
"Okay, okay, you feel moved, continue to feel moved."
"Well, there is no such atmosphere."
"Gee!"
Lin Ling'er laughed, and she felt that these three uncles were quite interesting.
But she would not underestimate Liao Kai and the others, because she knew that these three people were all chefs!
Even before, their family invited the chef to cook at home, his father was very polite.
"Uncle Liao, Uncle Nan, and Brother Zhuzi, when you arrive, I will arrange your place to live first, and then you can see what you need to prepare so I can do it."
"Add one! Don't worry about living in a place. We are not that slutty and can just find a place to deal with it."
"That's right, add one, let's prepare first!"
"That's not possible. Forget it, you can just follow my arrangements."
"Okay then!"
More than two hours later, the jeep came to Lijia Village.
"Add one, your hometown is ahead, right?" Liao Kai asked.
"Yes, this is Lijia Village."
"This place is good! It's suitable for retirement, like a paradise."
"It's okay!"
If the three of them were asked to walk around the village, they would probably feel more.
You should know that Lijia Village is living better than in the city. At least, there is no shortage of food or clothing.
Every household in the village raised pigs, chickens, ducks, etc., and some villagers even raised sheep.
The grain is planted by oneself, and I can’t finish the grain produced every year.
As for being honest, let alone the villagers don’t have cloth tickets, but Li Jiayi has it!
Sometimes villagers would use supplies to exchange tickets for Li Jiayi, and there were all kinds of tickets.
However, there is one thing that the villagers did not ask him to exchange for his bicycle ticket. This is not that he does not want to exchange it, but that he is not allowed to exchange it.
In the words of the branch secretary, our Lijia Village should be low-key and not let others know that we are rich, so we cannot ask for those things that show off our wealth.
So far, there are still only two bicycles in the village, one of which is the old bicycle of more than ten years old by the branch secretary.
There is another one that Li Jiayi bought for his grandfather, but the bicycle is basically ridden by his uncle now.
Now my uncle is the captain, and sometimes he has to go to the commune to have a meeting, or something else is used for it.
The jeep quickly drove to my grandfather's doorstep. Yes, the wedding place was at my grandfather's house.
And grandma also vacated the house and cleaned up their room into a new house.
As for where grandparents live for the time being, of course they live at their uncle’s house!
Besides, Li Jiayi and the others only stayed at home for one night, so after they returned to the city, their grandparents could move back.
When the jeep arrived at my grandma's door, my grandparents were already waiting at the gate.
But they are not waiting for Li Jiayi! Instead, wait for the grandson-daughter-in-law.
Yes, Li Aimin still wrote a letter to his family about Li Jiayi's marriage, and it was urgent.
So grandparents knew that they were coming today, so they were waiting at the gate.
In fact, it is not only grandparents, but also uncle and aunt who are waiting.
Li Jia parked a jeep and got out of the car.
"Grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt."
Unfortunately, everyone ignored him and walked over to Lin Ling'er who had just gotten out of the jeep.
"Oh! This girl is Ling'er! She is so beautiful." Grandma said.
Li Jiayi touched his nose awkwardly.
Just at this time, Liao Kai and the other three got out of the car. Seeing him like this, He Yuzhu said, "How to add one, you're out of favor!"
"Go and go, you are the same." Li Jiayi rolled his eyes to He Yuzhu.
In the past, the deaf old ladies spoiled He Yuzhu a lot! But since He Yuzhu got married, the deaf old lady has put her love on Qian Meilian.
"You kid, you still won't lose at all."
At this time, grandpa and uncle also saw Liao Kai and the other three, and hurried over.
Grandpa and uncle know Liao Kai and the other three! Because when my elder brother got married, the three of them made the seats.
"Oh! Why did you three invite?" Grandpa hurriedly came up and asked.
"Old man, we did this one, there is nothing we don't want to invite you. Are you in good health?"
"It's very good, it tastes good when you eat it."
"That's good."
"Quick, please come inside."
"Don't, old man, you'll ruin us like this." Liao Kai said hurriedly.
"Hahaha, that's OK, then sit in the room."
"Okay."
When he arrived in the yard, Li Jiayi saw that there was a stove in the yard. Needless to say, it should be something that my uncle asked for.
Grandma and aunt also pulled Lin Ling'er into the house from left to right.
"Grandpa, uncle, how many tables do you want to make this time?"
Li Jiayi had never prepared, just to know how many tables he had to set up, because he didn't know before that.
"At least, it's forty tables!"
"Ah! So many?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.
"Just say less, it's best to prepare for the fifty table." said the uncle.
"No, uncle, there are so many tables, Liao Kai and the other three are too busy!"
"You kid, you don't know that your popularity in the village will definitely come here!"
"This..."
"Don't worry! If you have any help, your Uncle Liao and the others only need to cook, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
"Uncle Liao, how about it? Can you be busy?" Li Jia turned his head and asked.
"If it's just cooking, the three of us should be fine."
"Yes, add one." Nan Yi nodded.
"Well! Then tell me how much you need to prepare fifty tables, and then write me a list and I'll get it back."
"Okay, let's discuss it and then give you the order."
"Okay."
After some discussions between Liao Kai and the others, Li Jia gave him one by one.
When Li Jiayi saw the things on the list, he was speechless! This requires too much.
It's just him. There's no way to change someone. I guess even the director of the Meat and Meat Factory has no way.
Fifty chickens, fifty elbows, fifty fish.
There are 300 kilograms of pork, 200 kilograms of beef, and 100 kilograms of mutton are also needed. In addition, eggs, various green vegetables, even green onions and garlic sprouts are needed.
Holding the order, Li Jiayi asked, "Uncle Liao, do you need to do something else besides these?"
"What else? What else?"
"For example, old turtles, lobsters, crabs, etc."
Hearing Li Jiayi's question, Liao Kai asked, "Can these be obtained?"
"Of course."
"Add one! If that's the case, it would be even better. I just happened to be studying a dish that is made with chicken and old turtle."
"Uh! That's the Farewell My Concubine."
"Farewell My Concubine, this name is good!" Liao Kai said with his eyes lit up.
In later generations, this dish was basically available in every restaurant, but in this era, it seems that this has not been done yet.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
In fact, this is normal. Many dishes from later generations were explored bit by bit, and there were very few dishes at this time.
"Okay, then I'll go and prepare, I can get it before noon."
"Yeah!"
Li Jiayi came out of the yard, drove into the jeep and left directly, without even saying anything to Lin Ling'er.
But it doesn't matter. With grandma and aunt around, Lin Ling'er will not be without people to speak.
Li Jiayi drove a jeep around the commune, then found a place to rest for a while, and then drove back.
When I was in the village quickly, Li Jia stopped a jeep and started putting things into the jeep.
The rest were those written by Liao Kai and the others, and then Li Jiayi took out more than fifty old turtles weighing three or four pounds.
There are more than fifty lobsters and five or six hundred crabs.
After reading it, I didn't miss anything, so I drove into the village.
There are so many things, not only are they filled with the back, but even the red row seats are full, otherwise they would not be able to hold them at all.
Parked the car at the door of my grandfather's house, and Li Jiayi shouted inside, "Uncle Liao, Uncle Nan, Brother Zhuzi, come out and unload things."
When Li Jiayi shouted, a group of people soon emerged from the yard.
Yes, it was just a group of people. It turned out that the uncle asked for help had come over, and they were all from the village.
"Yes, add one, get married so soon."
"Brother, why are you here too?" Li Jiayi asked.
"I'll help!"
How easy it is to work for people! There were so many things, and everyone took them off without much use.
At this time, the stove in the yard had already burned.
Seeing this, Li Jiayi knew that nothing would happen to him next.
So he went back to the house.
When I got to the house, I found that there were many people in the house, most of which were called by him by his sister-in-law, and of course, there were also niece-in-laws.
"The eldest grandson is back? Are the things ready?" Grandma asked when she saw him coming back.
"Yes, grandma, everything is ready, including all kinds of seasonings."
"That's good."
In fact, these sisters-in-law and niece-in-law also came to help. They had nothing to do just now, so they talked in the house. Now the things have been shipped back. So, I went out to help.
"How is it? Are you not used to it?" Li Jiayi asked at Lin Ling'er.
"No." Lin Ling'er shook her head and said, "I feel pretty good. I didn't expect that someone would call me aunt, and she was so old than me."
"This is normal, because my grandfather is the youngest in his generation, so my seniority is relatively high in the village."
"So that's the case! OK!"
"By the way, you ran so far to pull things back, you're thirsty! I'll pour you water."
"No, I'm not thirsty, are you thirsty?"
"Yeah! Something."
"Then wait, I'll make tea for you. Grandpa has good tea here! I don't let my uncle drink it."
"Ah! That's not necessary."
"It's okay, you drink as much as you want. At worst, I'll give my grandpa some after finishing drinking."
"Ah! Did you give this tea to grandpa?"
"Yes!"
"Then why don't you give me some?" Lin Ling'er asked.
"I gave it to you, but the uncle himself was reluctant to let him drink it. He always came to Grandpa for free with tea."
When Lin Ling'er heard Li Jiayi say this, she smiled and said nothing.
At noon, Liao Kai and the other three each cooked a few dishes, and they all had a meal together.
This meal helped me so well. They never thought that the food could be made so delicious.
At the same time, I don’t understand. They are all the same things, and the taste is so bad.
All afternoon, everything that should be packed is already packed, and tomorrow will be much easier.
After dinner in the evening, my uncle took Liao Kai and the other three to leave, and grandparents also left together.
Originally, Li Jiayi thought about the things in this yard and he couldn't watch them!
Unexpectedly, my grandfather had already arranged for people to sleep in the yard, so he didn't need to worry about this.
No words all night.
Early the next morning, before Li Jiayi woke up, the yard was already lively.
At around eight o'clock, my elder brother drove back in the truck.
My parents, elder sister and second sister, second brother and cousin, of course, my sister-in-law Sun Qingmin also came back with me.
At this time, I saw that the villagers were also rushing here, and many of them were moving the Eight Immortals Table.
There are also some people carrying long benches.
My uncle also asked someone to move the school benches over, but even so, there were only more than 30 large eight-immortal tables.
It seems that it is impossible to finish sitting in one go, so I can only let some people eat first.
The village accountant came here early in the morning, moved a small eight-immortal table by himself, then asked the old man for red paper and got an account book.
At this time, Li Jiayi changed into a new Zhongshan outfit, and Lin Ling'er also changed into a red wedding dress.
"Li Jiayi, congratulations."
"Uh! Teacher Wang, why are you here?" Li Jia hurriedly went up and asked.
"You little brat, I'm in the village. How could I not come if you get married so much?"
"No, I mean, I haven't invited you yet!"
Of course Li Jiayi knew that Teacher Wang was in the village! Because he sent Teacher Wang here.
Originally, Li Jiayi planned to come over and invite Teacher Wang over after a while, but he didn't expect Teacher Wang to come over by himself.
"Hey, you are so busy today, why are you going to invite me? I'll just come by myself."
"Li Jiayi, congratulations!"
"Teacher Liu."
In fact, it was not only Teacher Wang and Teacher Liu, but all the teachers he sent here came here at this time.
"Dear teachers, I'm really embarrassed. I originally planned to wait a while to invite you, but I didn't expect you to come here by yourself."
"It's all the same, it's all the same, we don't need to ask."
"Then please sit down first." Li Jia hurriedly took Lin Ling'er to ask all the teachers to sit down.
Of course, an introduction must not be missed.
"You boy are lucky! I found such a beautiful wife." Teacher Liu said jokingly.
"Teacher Liu, you are also very beautiful." Lin Ling'er said.
Lin Ling'er is not polite, because Teacher Liu is already pretty and definitely a big beauty when she was young.
"No, I'm old now."
"You are not old at all."
Hearing Lin Ling'er say this, Teacher Liu smiled and said, "This little mouth is so sweet."
At this time, the elder brother and second brother, as well as the elder sister and cousin, were putting peanuts, melon seeds and candies on each table.
They came back to help, and of course they were asked to do these small things.
As for my sister-in-law, I was talking to my aunt and grandma at this time.
They are all grandchildren, and old ladies cannot favor one or the other. The old ladies do this very well.
This is how it is in this era. Many things are borrowed, and Li Jia doesn’t need to borrow them even.
It was the villagers who brought the bowls and plates themselves.
This is probably his only one, and this is Li Jiayi’s reputation in the village.
In addition to him, even if he is the village party secretary, he will have to come to borrow the seat in person.
At around eleven o'clock, more than thirty tables were already full, and the table began to start.
Because Li Jiayi had to drive, although he drank wine, he sipped it.
If he drinks a glass at each table, even if he can drink it, he will probably have to get drunk after this round.
Everyone understood, so no one pulled him to drink.
But even so, Li Jiayi drank about two drinks in this lap.
Rural people eat quickly, and the rice they cooked was delicious with two pieces, so they finished it in less than half an hour.
Then someone started to clean the table and went on the second time.
The tables are not in the yard, and there are so many tables in the yard, they are all on the road outside.
Sure enough, the second seat was still made more than a dozen tables. Fortunately, the old man asked him to prepare fifty tables, otherwise it would not be enough.
After everyone finished eating and left, Liao Kai and the other three started working again because their own family had not eaten yet! The same goes for help.
But even so, it was past one afternoon after dinner.
Fortunately, it is summer now, the sky is long and the night is short, and it is dark at around 7 o'clock in the evening.
In this case, there is no rush. After dinner, everyone sits in the yard to have tea and chat.
As for those tables, chairs, benches, etc., they don’t need to worry about it at all. They will come to move it themselves, including bowls and plates.
It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the time was almost over, so the family rushed to the city. There was no way, and they had to go to work tomorrow.
On the way back, Lin Ling'er turned her head and looked at Liao Kai and the other three and said, "Uncle Liao, Uncle Nan, Brother Zhuzi, can you teach me how to cook when you look back?"
"Uh! Why are you thinking about learning to cook?" Nan Yi asked.
"I want to cook for my family!"
"If you want to learn, please add a handful of ingredients and we can teach you anytime."
If someone else wants to learn cooking from them, at least he has to have a disciple banquet or something, but Lin Ling'er doesn't need it.
Because she just wants to learn to cook, not to be a chef.
"Yeah! Thank you Uncle Liao, thank you Uncle Nan, and thank you Brother Zhuzi."
"No."
More than two hours later, the group returned to the city. At this time, many people in the yard had just returned from get off work.
"By the way, Uncle Liao, Uncle Nan and Brother Zhu Zi, I still have to do it in the Twelve, but it's just a small area, and it's only four or five tables at most."
"We already know this, your dad has told us."
"Yeah!"
After returning home, my mother handed a box to Lin Ling'er and said, "This is for you."
"Mom, what is this?"
"I received gifts today!"
"Ah! Why give me the gift money I received?" Lin Ling'er was a little confused.
"You will certainly give you the gifts you receive!"
"I don't want this, mom, you'd better put it away!" Lin Ling'er shook her head and said.
"You're sure you don't want it. This gift is a lot of money!" Ye Xin said with a smile.
"No." Lin Ling'er shook her head this time.
How much does it cost to hold a banquet in rural areas? Life in the countryside is so hard now.
One thing Lin Ling'er didn't expect was that Lijia Village was not hard, and she was even very wealthy.
Also, this banquet was held by Li Jiayi, and Lin Ling'er didn't know Li Jiayi's reputation in the village.
"Mom, how much gift did you receive in total?" the second sister asked at this time.
"The total amount of more than 1,000 yuan was charged."
"Ah! So much!"
Even Lin Ling'er was stunned for a moment and did not react for a moment.
You know, this is a countryside! Does a village have so much money?
"Every household receives gifts, and at least ten yuan is available, and there are twenty more."
In fact, it is normal. Li Jia gave the village a quota of work once or twice, and also helped the village sell pork, chickens and ducks.
It is estimated that those who are free of charge are all the children who come to work in the city, and those who pay ten yuan are free of charge. Although the children do not come to work in the city, they all live a good life because of Li Jiayi and the others.
Of course, this is just Li Jia's banquet. If it is someone else, it will only cost one or two yuan if it is too much, and even three or two cents if it is too little.
"Sister-in-law! More than one thousand yuan! Do you really want it?" asked the second sister.
"No, just give it to mom! Let mom keep it for use."
"Mom! Since Ling'er doesn't want it, otherwise give it to me!" said the second sister.
"Stay on my side, you will be there everywhere." My mother patted her second sister's head and said.
Lin Ling'er has seen money. Although more than one thousand yuan is not enough, it has not yet reached the point where she is moved.
And she knew that the family was not short of money at all. Not to mention anything else, she just said that the banquet I held today cost more than I received.
Also, although she didn't know how much money Li Jiayi had, she knew that Li Jiayi was not short of money.
If she really uses money, Li Jiayi will definitely give it to her.
"Son, since Ling'er doesn't want it, then I'll hand it over to you." Ye Xin turned her head and said to Li Jiayi.
"No need, mom! Didn't Ling'er say it! You can use this money. Since that's the case, you can collect it!"
"Okay, you don't need money anyway, so mom will take it for you. Just ask me for it when you need it."
"Yes!" Li Jia nodded.
I thought to myself, I guess I will never be able to ask you for money in my life.
I ate too much at noon, so everyone was not very hungry. My mother just made a little casually and everyone got off after dinner. I was really tired today.
The two of them were lying on the bed, the electric fan was blowing, and they didn't feel the heat at all.
Li Jiayi turned over and asked Lin Ling'er, "Are you tired today?"
"It's okay, it's not very tired." Lin Ling'er also turned over and said to him.
"That's good, I thought you would be very tired today!"
"It's okay!"
As we chatted, the two of them fell asleep. In fact, they were still a little tired, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen asleep so quickly.
(This chapter ends)
