“Auntie, I don’t have anything to bring, so I brought you some red wine and white wine.” Nie Weiwei said.

“You two kids, just come if you want to! And bring something with you.”

At this time, Cheng’s father said, “If you don’t want it, I will take it all.”

Dad Cheng likes wine! He likes white wine, red wine and white wine. Of course, he is talking about old wine.

“Go away, don’t you see that these two children are brought to me?” Mother Cheng rolled her eyes at Father Cheng and said.

Although Mother Cheng doesn’t like wine very much, she still likes Li Le’s red wine and white wine very much.

You know, this is a good thing that money can’t buy.

“Is there any for me?” Cheng Fei asked, scratching his head.

“Get out of here. You don’t have a share.” Dad Cheng kicked Cheng Fei and said.

Because Dad Cheng had already seen clearly that the boxes that Li Qingcheng moved were all white wine, needless to say, these were prepared for him.

“If there’s no, there’s no. It’s as if you’re saying there’s something missing.” Cheng Fei curled his lips.

Well, he has plenty of brothers, so how could he be short of this stuff? If he doesn’t have it, he can just go and get a few bottles.

In the eyes of others, it may be regarded as a treasure, but in Li Le’s eyes, he really doesn’t care.

It can be said that as long as he has time, or as long as he doesn’t go out, Li Le will have a few drinks, and this is what he drinks.

He never kept this thing to sell for money just because one bottle could sell for hundreds of thousands or even millions.

For him, selling this stuff might make a lot of money, but that is not as important as drinking it himself.

Li Le would never do such a thing as to sacrifice himself for a little bit of money.

Arriving at the living room, Mother Cheng quickly pulled Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei to sit down.

As for Li Le, of course he was chatting with Cheng’s father and Cheng Fei. As for what they were talking about, of course it was about Cheng Fei’s marriage.

Not long after, Chen Ying also came back from the company and joined Cheng Ma and the others.

At nearly seven o’clock, the nanny came in from outside and said to Cheng Ma: “Madam, the food is ready. Shall we eat now?”

“Let’s eat. Tell the chef to eat when it’s ready.”

“Okay ma’am.”

In fact, Cheng Fei’s house is not bad. At least, you don’t need to cook for yourself at Cheng Fei’s house.

For example, Cheng’s mother and Chen Ying. Although Cheng’s mother does not work and is basically at home all day long, she is not required to cook.

As for Chen Ying, she does go to work, but as soon as she gets home, she can eat hot meals.

After the nanny left, Cheng’s mother said, “Let’s go, let’s eat.”

Then Cheng Ma took Li Qingcheng and the others to wash their hands, and Li Le did the same.

After washing their hands, Dad Cheng took out two bottles of wine, old wine, and Mom Cheng also took out two bottles of red wine.

By the time they sat down at the table, the nanny had almost arranged the food.

Dad Cheng opened the wine and poured a glass for Li Le himself.

“Uncle, I can do it myself.”

“No, sit down, uncle will pour you this glass of wine himself.”

To be honest, it is really wrong to let the elders pour the wine, but he couldn’t disobey his father.

So I could only thank you quickly.

“Thank you uncle.”

As for Cheng Fei, he didn’t have this treatment and could only fall on his own.

After everyone had a glass of wine, Father Cheng raised his glass and said, “It’s a rare opportunity for us to get together today. I suggest we clink glasses.”

Since Father Cheng said so, Li Le would certainly not refuse, and the same went for Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei.

“Come on, touch one.”

“Cheers.”6
“Hahaha, what a refreshing drink.” Dad Cheng said with a smile after he finished drinking.

“Let me tell you! This is Xifeng! You drank it in one gulp?” Cheng Fei asked speechlessly.

You know, usually when Dad Cheng drinks this wine, he takes small sips. This is the first time he has seen someone drink it all in one gulp.

“What do you know? I’m happy today.”

Dad Cheng was indeed very happy because no one came to visit their home during the Chinese New Year every year.

Except for his subordinates. Besides, he doesn’t allow subordinates to come. Even if someone comes, they will just put down their things and leave.

But Dad Cheng knew that he was not happy just because of this.

There were quite a few happy things last year, the first of which was that my son finally got married.

Then the company became one of the large construction companies in the imperial capital.

Yes, after receiving 5 billion in aid from Li Le, the company developed from a medium-sized construction company to a large construction company.

Once the project is completed, even if Li Le’s money is repaid, the company’s market value will increase several times.

Because at this time, it has nothing to do with how much money you have, but rather the company’s qualifications and scale.

Yes, construction companies do attach great importance to qualifications. Only with high qualifications can they take on bigger projects.

If you don’t have enough qualifications, you won’t be able to take on a project even if one is available. I’m not kidding.

“Come, eat the food first.” After drinking, Cheng’s mother said hurriedly.

“Yes, yes, eat the vegetables.”

Today’s meal is very sumptuous, including Australian lobster, king crab, and seven abalones.

As for the rest, they are all home-cooked meals, but the home-cooked meals made by the chef are not ordinary meals.

After eating and drinking, Li Le said goodbye to Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei and left.

Today is Saturday!

Moreover, ten months have passed since I got the system, ten months in the real world, and three and a half years in the world I traveled through.

In the world we travel through now, it is already July of 1954.

After returning home and taking a shower, the three of them went to sleep. Of course, this “sleep” does not mean falling asleep, but lying in bed.

Li Le worked until almost eleven o’clock and finally subdued Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei.

Similarly, the two of them fell asleep quickly.

When it was almost twelve o’clock, Li Le got up from the bed, went to the west room to change his clothes, and came to the east room.

Just at twelve o’clock, Li Le was in a trance and arrived at the time-traveling world.

“Hiss! Damn, it’s really hot.”

Yes, Li Le has not yet adapted to the summer from the cold.

In fact, it was mainly because it was too hot. You have to know that there was no air conditioning in that era and there were only fans at home.

In fact, air conditioners are not uncommon abroad. In the United States, they are even used in cars.

However, there was no air conditioning in China. The country only started to study air conditioning in the mid-1960s.

And it is a window unit, which means it does not have an indoor or outdoor unit. It is a whole unit with one end inside the house and the other end outside.

Sucking in air from outside and blowing cool air into the house, this is domestic air conditioning, and it was used until the 1990s.

Li Le didn’t even need to change his clothes. He entered the room and lay directly on the bed.

In the morning, Li Le was awakened by a scream. The scream was not because of fear, but because Li Le was back.

You know, Li Le was out for several months this time! Unexpectedly, he came back suddenly, how could Yanran and Yanhan not scream. “What are you doing?” Li Le asked helplessly.

He was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by Zhao Yanran and her sister.

“I’m sorry, Lego, we just…”

“Okay, I don’t blame you. Now that you can’t fall asleep even if you want to, just get up!”

Hearing that Li Le was about to get up, Zhao Yanran and her sister hurriedly got up first because they were going to cook.

By the time Li Le got dressed and came out of the house, Ma Feng and the others had also gotten up.

“Brother, are you back?”

“Yeah!” Li Le nodded and asked, “How was your time during this period?”

What Li Le asked was not how the family was doing, because there was no need to ask that. Even if he was not at home, life at home would not be bad.

Because every time Li Le left, he would leave all his money behind.

He was afraid that if he could not come back, this money would become the foundation for Zhao Yanran and her sister to survive.

Of course, it was useless for him to take it away, because when he returned to the real world, he would not be able to use his space at all.

No matter what is placed in the space, he cannot take it out.

Ma Feng of course knew what Li Le was asking. He scratched his head and said, “Not bad! Better than before.”

“That’s good.”

Now people use food stamps to buy food outside, and Li Le’s family doesn’t have to worry about food problems at all.

Their family is not worried, but others are! So some people are already trying to find ways to get food.

Of course, these people are all rich people, so it’s useless for ordinary people to try.

After Li Le and the others finished washing up and chatted for a while, Zhao Yanran and her sister had already prepared breakfast.

Millet porridge, steamed buns made of two grams of flour, and some pickled vegetables.

Li Le frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

You should know that Li Le’s family has a lot of food, but it is all rice and flour, and there is no such thing as cornmeal.

But this steamed bun is made of white flour and corn flour.

“Brother Le, everyone has started eating steamed bread now. I think our family can’t just eat rice and flour! It’s not good to be discovered, so…”

Li Le shook his head, looked at Zhao Yanran and said, “You! Our house is a private house. As long as you don’t tell anyone, no one will know.”

“Uh, this…”

“Okay, it seems good to eat this occasionally, but you can’t eat it all the time.”

In fact, most people in the entire imperial capital used to eat steamed corn bread, before food coupons were implemented.

Although there was no limit on food at that time, not everyone could afford fine grains.

Let me put it this way! If you only eat whole grains, a person can spend less than 30,000 yuan a month. (Three yuan in the second set of RMB)

If you eat a mixture of coarse grains and fine grains, 50,000 yuan a month would be enough for one person.

But if one only eats fine grains and not coarse grains, not counting the purchase of vegetables and meat, the cost of food alone would be 60,000 to 70,000 yuan per person per month.

You should know that a pound of flour costs 1,420 yuan, while a pound of rice costs more than 1,800 yuan.

The price of coarse grains is less than half of that of fine grains. Cornmeal is only 700 yuan per catty, and sweet potatoes are even cheaper, at 200 to 300 yuan per catty.

Now you buy with tickets, which are actually grain coupons, and there is a fixed quantity. No matter whether you are rich or poor, everyone is the same.

Each person weighs 42 kilograms per month, and this is for adult men. Adult women weigh 36 kilograms per month.

With so much food, only 20% is fine grains, and the rest is all coarse grains.

As for how the food coupons came about, it is actually very simple. People who work in factories receive food coupon subsidies every month.

Men were given nine kilograms of food coupons, and women were given six kilograms. These food coupons were issued together with their wages, so that they could be exchanged for meal coupons in the factory, and then they could have lunch in the factory at noon.

You also have to choose not to eat at the factory. In this case, you can take your food coupons home and buy food at the grain station.

Another way is that if you cannot use up all the food in the grain book, you can also exchange it for grain coupons at the grain station.

The same applies when you use the food coupons to buy food later. Similarly, whether it is the food book or the food coupons, they do not expire and become invalid within the same month.

This is the origin of food stamps, but it is rare to exchange the ration on the food book for food stamps.

Because there was not enough food, only those who did not eat the food on the food list would exchange it for food coupons and then sell them to others.

Both food coupons and food books are valid for the current month, but there is one exception, which is the national food coupons.

There is no expiration date for national food coupons and they can be used at any time and anywhere.

However, it is not easy to get national food coupons. Only when you go on a business trip to other places and apply to the higher authorities will you be issued national food coupons.

Of course, this is only possible for the public, so individuals should forget about it.

If an individual wants to get national food coupons, he can only buy them from others.

Some people go on business trips and save money, so they have some extra national food coupons, which they sell when they come back.

“Brother Le, what should we do with the food in our two books? Don’t we buy it?” Zhao Yanran asked.

Li Le originally wanted to say he didn’t want to buy it and was going to exchange it for food coupons, but after thinking it over he decided not to.

That would be too obvious.

“Buy it, why not? Where will you put it after you buy it? There will definitely be people who don’t have enough food. You can sell it then.”

You can sell it by exchanging it for food coupons, and you can also sell the food you buy back, but this is different.

If you don’t buy food from the grain station, people will definitely be suspicious.

Just like everyone else, I bought them all. Even if I don’t eat them, no one will know.

“Brother, there are a lot of people buying food now. Even sweet potatoes are being snapped up by people.” Ma Feng said at this time.

“That’s right, big brother.” Li Daila also nodded.

They were out and about every day, so of course they knew the situation outside very well.

“Well! You guys pay attention, we won’t eat the coarse grains we buy. If we see someone buying them, we’ll sell them secretly.”

“Okay big brother, this is easy.”

“Be careful and don’t let anyone find you.”

“Don’t worry, big brother. We know this.”

Li Le was still very confident in Ma Feng and his team’s work. These guys had been collecting junk for the past few years and were all very shrewd.

“By the way, Brother Le, here is a letter for you. I’ll give it to you.” Zhao Yanran suddenly said.

“Letter, what letter?” Li Le frowned.

“I don’t know either. It was delivered last month, and there’s no indication of who wrote it.”

Soon Zhao Yanran brought the letter over. Li Le took it and looked at it. The envelope was blank, and even the recipient was not written on it.

“Okay, I get it. Let’s eat first, and I’ll watch it after dinner.”

Although Li Le didn’t know what was written inside, he already knew who wrote the letter to him.

I guess there would be no one else except Lou Bancheng.

Because the public-private partnership has been going on for some time now, Lou Bancheng can no longer hold on.

In fact, Li Le had thought about this a long time ago. If it weren’t for the New Year in the real world, he would have gone to find Lou Bancheng a long time ago. (End of this chapter)
