It was not until a muffled "bang" was heard from Li's house that the jar was considered to be put into place.
"Are you okay?" Old Li looked at his son with a worried look on his face and asked.
"It's okay, it's really okay, don't worry."
Li Ming shook his head. Now his physical fitness has been developed to 42%. He can be called a small Li Yuanba. This weight is really not a problem.
"By the way, didn't the three of you go out together?"
Li Ming found that only his father had returned, but his mother and sister had not come back with him, so he couldn't help but ask.
Seeing that his son was fine, Father Li waved his hand calmly and lit a cigarette for himself, "Well, the two of them went to the department store."
"Nowadays, many things cannot be bought even if you have money and tickets, so it's better to go shopping in a department store. You never know what you can buy for your home."
In the 20s, the Sijiucheng Department Store underwent a major renovation that transformed the building into a modern shopping mall. During that period, the Sijiucheng Department Store became one of the leading department stores in China and has remained so ever since.
Li understood and nodded without taking it too seriously. His family was not short of money or tickets, but the current situation was indeed no different from what his father had said.
"What's for lunch?"
"Wait until your mother comes back to do it."
"Okay, I'm going to go get some sun."
"go Go."
Li Ming took a stool and found a suitable place in the front yard. The weather was good today and not too cold. It would be much more comfortable to bask in the sun.
In the middle courtyard, the Yi family.
It has been more than a month since Jia Zhang made the request and asked Jia Dongxu to come to find Yi Zhonghai. Jia Zhang has not seen any action from Jia Dongxu, and there are indeed not many vegetables left at home. The food can still last for a while, but the whole family cannot eat rice and noodles for every meal.
Today, Jia Zhang brought Jia Dongxu to Yi Zhonghai.
"Sister-in-law Jia is here! Go get her a glass of water!"
When Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Zhangshi, he cursed her in his heart for bad luck. It was not a good thing for this fat old woman to come to his house. However, for the sake of his No. 1 pensioner Jia Dongxu, he could only behave in a bit of hospitality.
Not long after, the aunt poured two cups of hot water and handed them to the two uninvited guests from the Jia family.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law Jia?"
Jia Zhang nudged Jia Dongxu, and Jia Dongxu finally came to his senses. Jia Dongxu was not willing to come, but there was indeed not much food left in their house. Although Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu's master, for some reason, Jia Dongxu could not save face in this regard.
"Hey, Master, we don't have much food at home, so I thought I'd ask you if you could help me with something."
In other words, it was a little embarrassing to open my mouth at the beginning, but once I opened my mouth, the rest was not embarrassing anymore. After all, as a man who is used to his nicknames of "mama's boy" and "cuckold", he doesn't really care about his face.
Yi Zhonghai felt relieved when he heard about this. Asking for food and other things was easy, just don't mention borrowing money.
"I did stock up on some winter vegetables last time, but I didn't buy a lot, just enough for me and your aunt." First act embarrassed and explain your situation. No matter whether it is really difficult or not, it is right to do so.
"But it's enough for now. I'll ask your aunt to get you some from the cellar. You guys can make do with it for now."
Jia Dongxu blushed when he saw Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma, but there was nothing he could do. In contrast, Jia Zhang had no expression on her face, as if she was already familiar with Yi Zhonghai's actions.
"Thank you, Master. Don't worry, I will return it to you as soon as possible."
Yi Zhonghai saw that his performance had received feedback from Jia Dongxu, and he immediately laughed, "I am your master, you have come to me for help, how can I, as your master, ignore you?"
"Wait a moment, your aunt will be here soon, take the food and eat first."
"I will ask around for you during this time to see when the second batch of winter vegetables will be available."
"Okay, our family will definitely buy more this time." Jia Dongxu nodded in response with emotion, handed Yi Zhonghai a cigarette and lit it for him attentively.
"Yeah, you have to be careful next time, otherwise it will have a huge impact." Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, "Your aunt is here, go get the food quickly."
Yi Zhonghai pointed at a middle-aged woman carrying two bags and said to Jia Dongxu.
"Auntie, let me do it." Seeing this, Jia Dongxu hurried over and took the two bags of vegetables. "Then I'll go back first, Master. My family is still waiting for the vegetables."
Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile, looking extremely kind, "Go ahead."
Chapter 100: Another General Meeting
"My dear, we don't have a lot of food at home."
The aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai with a happy face and couldn't help but say that it was pure wishful thinking to use the amount of food in their family that could feed three people to support the whole Jia family.
Yi Zhonghai suppressed the smile on his face and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I won't give all our things to the Jia family."
Yi Zhonghai tapped his fingers on the table. "Next time they come, we won't have any."
"Then what do you do?"
Auntie is more worried about the connection between their family and Laoyang No. 1, and hopes it will be severed because of this incident.
"Okay, I'll just go and ask. There's no way I can get anything out of this by going to the street office, but I can ask the Li family's wife."
"What are you going to do? Don't forget the boy in their family!" The aunt mentioned Li Ming intentionally. She had not forgotten the yellow bullet that she threw into Yi Zhonghai's pocket last time.
Yi Zhonghai's fingers continued to tap the table unconsciously. "If it doesn't work, we can hold a meeting of the whole courtyard. Besides, aren't other neighbors in the courtyard also worried about this matter? As the eldest uncle of our courtyard, I still have to take this matter to heart."
"Okay, as long as you have an idea."
Auntie did not refute Yi Zhonghai's method. It would be best if she could get something out of him. Even if she couldn't get anything out of him, it would at least further sever the relationship between the Jia and Li families.
. . . . . .
In the evening, Yan Fugui's voice appeared again in the front yard, and there was another meeting of the whole courtyard.
Li family.
"This is really annoying. Where do all these problems come from? We have to hold a meeting of the whole institute every day!"
Li Ming's family had just finished their meal and were enjoying the warmth brought by the fireplace in the house. When they heard that they had to go to the central courtyard to attend a meeting in the cold wind, they were full of resistance.
"Dong dong."
"Come in."
Father Li shouted weakly.
Yan Fugui came in and asked, "Uncle, what can I do for you?"
"Well, nothing. It's just that there's a general meeting of the whole hospital this time. Old Yi told the daughter-in-law of the Li family to remember to attend, so he asked me to come and tell your family."
"I guess there's something I need to ask."
Li Ming laughed when he heard this. It seemed like that damn Yi Zhonghai was planning to cause trouble for their family.
It seems that the little treasure given to Yi Zhonghai last time failed to make him restrain himself, or it involved Yi Zhonghai's retirement, which made him continue to cause trouble for the Li family without any regard for the consequences.
"Okay, got it." Father Li obviously guessed it roughly, and greeted Yan Fugui casually.
Mother Li had already put on her coat. "Let's go and see what Yi Zhonghai is planning to do."
"Mom, when I went to the middle courtyard for a stroll at noon, I saw Jia Dongxu taking Jia Zhangshi to Yi Zhonghai's house to get cabbage. Is there any connection?"
Li Rui blurted out what she saw at noon.
"Then you should ask your mother about the winter vegetables. You will know after you go and take a look."
Father Li said calmly that there would be no winter vegetables this year anyway, anyone with a discerning eye could see that, except for a certain family of fools who couldn't see it, or maybe their family was collectively foolish because they failed to buy winter vegetables last time.
"Yi Zhonghai should be planning to ask your mother about this. After all, no one would complain about having too much food at home this year."
Middle Court.
The octagonal table has been set up, and the three managers have also sat down one by one in order. No matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, as long as there is a meeting of the whole hospital, this octagonal table must be present. It is really a punishment.
"Hey, everyone is here, right?" Liu Haizhong stood up with her belly bulging with pregnancy results and asked a question even a blind person would know.
"All done~"
"Hurry up."
"Don't waste time in such a cold day!"
Liu Haizhong looked at the neighbors who didn't give him face at all, and the fat on his face twitched. "Okay, let the old man explain the situation first."
Yi Zhonghai then stood up, cleared his throat and spoke.
"Actually, this time I'm mainly asking about the storage of the winter vegetables you bought last time. Do you have enough winter vegetables?"
When everyone heard Yi Zhonghai talking about things related to their actual interests, they began to agree with him one by one.
"It's enough for now, but it would be best if I could buy it again."
"Yeah, if you save a little, you can have enough to eat until the New Year."
"Those of us who bought cabbage are fine, but we don't know what will happen if we don't."
"No hurry, there's still food to eat."
The three people from the Jia family looked worse as they listened to the increasingly deviant topic. Aren’t they talking about the Jia family?
The last time they bought winter vegetables, they didn’t even get a single cabbage stalk!
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. Huairu went to the street office last time to ask about this matter that everyone is concerned about. However, the street office doesn't have any specific information. If you plan to buy some more winter vegetables, you probably have to wait."
Yi Zhonghai first asked the neighbors to quiet down before he continued speaking, but what he said was obviously nonsense. The Li family members also understood that the main part of the drama should be coming soon, but Li Ming had no intention of indulging Yi Zhonghai.
Even if it's you who arranged the plot, I will make you take a few more detours and put in some effort!
"It's no use talking like that! It's so cold, you might as well go home."
Li Ming responded directly without giving Yi Zhonghai any leniency. When Yi Zhonghai heard what Li Ming said, he subconsciously looked over, but after finding out it was Li Ming, he turned his head back.
"That's right, why are you saying this useless thing in such a cold weather!"
"Why not go back to the house and warm yourself by the fire?"
"Everyone knows that the winter vegetables are in bad condition this year. It's useless to hold a meeting all day long!"
Look, although there are many beasts in the courtyard, it is undeniable that the beasts are all intelligent. I am afraid that the only ones with low IQ in the courtyard are Sha Zhu and the "green hat brother" who was hung on the wall at the beginning of the plot.
Father Li gave his son a thumbs up. Well done! How could he make Yi Zhonghai so smooth? Impossible, no room for negotiation!
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. The daughter-in-law of the Li family in our courtyard works at the street office. Why don't we just ask her?"
Tsk, here comes the main part. But if you ask seriously there is no problem. Everyone knows it anyway. Those who don’t know it usually have a poor brain.
"What our neighbors said just now is quite right. Anyway, the street office has not received any corresponding notice yet."
Mother Li stood up and spread her hands. Since she was from the street office, she couldn't tell anyone the definite news, and this was the best she could say.
In fact, having said that, it is basically confirmed that there will be no winter vegetables before the New Year at least, so the Jia family can stop dreaming.
Chapter 101 The Jia Family is Looking for Trouble
After hearing what Li's mother said, everyone started discussing again. In fact, they already had an idea in their minds. It was more or less useful to get such information from the street office clerk at this time.
At least for the next period of time, everyone can give up this worry and focus on other aspects, such as stocking up more food, which is better than relying on winter vegetables.
"No! You have to tell us clearly whether it is there or not!"
A piercing voice came, and Li Ming turned his head to look at Jia Zhang and the lame man beside Jia Zhang. Oh, since Brother Dongxu was discharged from the hospital last time, he has been a little lame, but it is not very obvious in winter.
The voice just now was obviously from Jia Zhang. Li's mother's face turned cold. Not only was Jia Zhang used as a gun, but she was also looking for trouble. This was really unheard of.
Li Ming saw that his mother looked unhappy, so he spoke directly, "Old thing, are you stupid or deaf? Can't you understand what people say?"
"Didn't you hear what my mom said just now? The street office didn't notify us. What does it mean that you don't know what didn't notify us?"
"You want my mom to confirm something that even the neighborhood office doesn't know? Who do you think you are?"
After saying this, Li Ming had already arrived in front of the Jia family. He looked at the three beasts of the Jia family with a playful face, waiting for their answer.
Jia Dongxu subconsciously took a step back. Qin Huairu, who was standing by, couldn't help but shiver when he saw Li Ming's expression. Only Jia Zhang continued to bark wildly.
"I don't care. Your mother works in the street office. I want to know today whether there will be a future or not!"
"Yes, Mingzi, the sister-in-law of the Jia family is not clear about this, so it's better to make it clear."
Yi Zhonghai's annoying voice sounded. Li Ming turned his head and looked at Yi Zhonghai viciously, then continued to look at Jia Zhang.
"Old man, you really don't understand?"
Jia Zhang's neck stiffened, "I don't understand!"
She wanted Li Wu to say this today. Anyway, her family and the Li family had broken up a long time ago. If she dared to say this today, Jia Zhang would go out and spread rumors tomorrow!
