Jiang Yi carried a bamboo basket and delivered yam glutinous rice cakes door to door according to the address written by his sister.
At this time, everyone had just finished their meal and was tidying up and getting ready for bed.
Jiang Yi brought some snacks over, just enough for them to have a midnight snack.
Some people cannot even get enough food, so they use these exquisite and delicious snacks to fill their stomachs.
Jiang Yi was very polite when he came, and everyone received him warmly.
Jiang Yi sent his children to five or six families in a row, and walked all the way to the captain's house.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm Jiang Yi. I'm here to bring you some snacks. Please open the door!"
"Hey, here I come!"
Yao Qiaoyun responded crisply. She quickly came over to open the door and enthusiastically invited Jiang Yi into the house.
"Auntie, after delivering to your house, I still have several more houses to deliver to. I have to do homework when I get home soon, so I really can't stay here for long."
Following his sister's instructions, Jiang Yi brought two large bags of snacks to the captain's home.
This was specially prepared by my sister. The captain's family helped them a lot, and my sister has always been grateful. This time she made snacks and gave the most to the captain's family.
"There are only two of us in our family. We can't finish all the food you give us. Why don't you take some home and eat it yourself?"
When Yao Qiaoyun looked at the two large bags of snacks, she felt Jiang Li's heavy desire to repay her.
In fact, they also had selfish motives in helping Jiang Li's family.
Especially her husband always felt that one of Jiang Li's children was his biological mother.
Isn't it natural for a son to help his mother?
However, they had kept this little secret very well hidden, and Jiang Li had never noticed it, so she thought they were being particularly nice to her.
"My sister said she made a lot, and this snack is really delicious. If she can't finish it today, she can steam it on the stove tomorrow and it will be as good as freshly baked."
Jiang Yi had already prepared his speech, and Yao Qiaoyun couldn't refuse, so she could only nod.
"Thank you so much, you can go back if you want to do your homework. Come to my house when you have time, and I'll make you something delicious!"
Jiang Yi nodded and left, then went to deliver pastries to other people's homes.
Most of the people living in the village are from rural areas. They usually can’t even get enough to eat, and even if they have some spare money, they save it. Who would be willing to eat this stuff?
However, they helped Jiang Li, and Jiang Li delivered snacks to their homes. Everyone remembered her kindness and knew that she was a grateful person, so they were more willing to help her in the future.
"This Jiang Li is quite nice. He even made some snacks and sent them over late at night."
"This snack is really exquisite and tastes great. Jiang Li is a thoughtful girl who knows how to be grateful. It's worth helping her."
"Old man, you have to be more proactive when Jiang Li's family has something going on. Go out with them more often. If you build a good relationship with them, you won't suffer any loss in the future."
After Jiang Yi delivered his visit to the last household, he was just about to walk out when he felt his face was wet. When he looked up, he saw a drizzle falling from the sky.
He quickly put his hands on his head and ran home quickly.
…
Although the clothes had many patches, they were indeed washed very clean and fit him well. The most important thing was that Shen Changan felt a lot warmer.
"It fits perfectly, thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll clean your suit for you and have Jiang Yi bring it to you later."
"Don't bother with the suit. Just throw it away for me when the time comes."
Shen Changan had never worn clothes stained with feces and urine. He had a lot of clean and fitting clothes at home, so this one was not a big deal.
"How can that be? That suit of yours looks very expensive. We can't afford it given our financial situation."
Jiang Li folded his hands together, feeling a little nervous.
Her mind was working fast, and she kept calculating.
She did make some money recently, but she also spent a lot. She only had a few dozen dollars on hand, and Shen Changan's handmade custom suit cost more than that.
If Shen Changan really asked her to compensate, she would probably be bankrupt.
When Jiang Li thought about how he would become poor again overnight and return to the time before liberation, he began to regret asking Shen Changan to help take care of the children.
If I had known earlier, I would have let him see the child and not let him hold him.
Shen Changan enjoyed some intimate parent-child time, but it was a pity that she had to pay for his suit.
Looking at this nervous little woman, Shen Changan laughed.
"I didn't say I'd ask you to pay for it."
"That's good, that's good."
Jiang Li patted his chest and was obviously relieved. Shen Changan took out a wallet from his trouser pocket.
There is not only a lot of cash in it, but also stacks of tickets.
Jiang Li stared with his eyes wide open, feeling extremely envious.
These days, having money is nothing, having tickets is what matters.
Especially those bicycle tickets, industrial tickets, etc. that are difficult to get.
It takes a lot of effort to buy a sewing machine or a bicycle.
Jiang Li took out a few bills from his wallet and handed them over.
"Teacher Shen, what are you doing?"
Jiang Li knew that he was giving her a ticket, but she didn't know why he was giving her a ticket?
"These are some milk powder coupons. I don't have any children at home, so I can't use them. Since you have two children, you'll definitely need milk powder, so I'm giving them to you."
Milk powder tickets are very expensive and hard to get.
However, milk powder is in short supply, and even if you have a milk powder ticket, you may not be able to buy it.
Jiang Li had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative several times before, but they always said they were out of stock.
Given her current family situation, it is unlikely that she can go to a department store in the provincial capital.
Jiang Li wanted it a little, but was also a little embarrassed.
She hesitated to reach out to take it, so Shen Changan could only stuff the milk powder ticket into her palm.
"Take it. I don't need it, and you just happen to need it. It would be a waste to keep it with me."
"Yes, thank you, Teacher Shen. I just want to ask, besides the supply and marketing cooperative, where else can I buy milk powder in Baiyun Town?"
Jiang Li seldom went to Baiyun Town and was not particularly familiar with the terrain there. Unless it was specifically mentioned in the TV series, she was completely in the dark.
Although Shen Changan has done a lot of work in the town, he has never paid attention to this problem because he doesn’t like to drink milk powder.
"I don't live here all the time, so I'm not very familiar with the situation here."
Jiang Li nodded gently. She had originally thought that Shen Changan was knowledgeable and knew everything, but it seemed that she had thought too much of him.
When Jiang Li asked this, Shen Changan, who had a very sharp mind, reacted quickly.
Rain boots are hard to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative, and milk powder is also hard to buy.
Although he gave the milk powder coupons to Jiang Li's family out of kindness, perhaps the coupons would not be used at all.
"Do your two children need to drink milk powder now?"
"It's not necessary for now, but as they grow older and their milk supply increases, they may need it later."
Jiang Li also told the truth, without hiding or exaggerating.
After listening to this, Shen Changan nodded thoughtfully.
