This was the first time Shiyue and Uncle Lü had met since she left last time.
Upon seeing him, Shiyue's first impression was that Uncle Lü had lost a lot of weight!
Uncle Lu was originally a very thin old man, but in the past six months, no one knows what he has been through, he has become so thin that his cheekbones are protruding and his cheeks are sunken.
Moreover, what was originally just a few stray white hairs has now grown to more than half, making him look several years older than when Shiyue last saw him.
Shiyue suddenly felt sad.
She immediately said, "Uncle Lü, you've lost so much weight!"
Hearing her say that, Lü Wensheng just smiled and said, "You've not only lost weight, you've also aged, haven't you? Your Uncle Lü is getting old."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanbai retorted, "Old? What do you mean, old? You're half a year younger than me. I haven't even said you're old, so how dare you say that?"
Perhaps because life has been going well since he arrived at the food factory, and with two doctors taking care of him, Shen Yuanbai's complexion is now even better than when Shiyue was there.
Standing next to Lü Wensheng, she looked several years younger than him.
Anyway, if he hadn't said it, Shiyue wouldn't have been able to tell that he was older than Uncle Lü.
As they were talking, the two reached out to take Shiyue's things.
The man on the tricycle delivered the items to Shiyue and then left, leaving a pile of things at her feet.
The three of them had to make two trips to carry all those bags and packages to Shiyue's room.
"Good heavens, how much stuff did you buy? Did you empty this department store?" Lu Wensheng couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the pile of stuff.
“It’s a rare opportunity for me to come here, so I collected all the wages and ration coupons for my family. Besides ours, I also collected a lot of things for Sister Cui and Sister Mei Ying.”
The current supply tickets all have expiration dates, and they become invalid after the expiration date.
Although they are on the island and their situation is special, and they really cannot leave the island within the specified time, the supply staff will find a way to use their tickets to buy things and send them to the island.
But what someone else buys for you is still not quite the same as what you choose yourself.
So when people learned that Shiyue was coming to Nanping, many asked her to help them bring things back home.
These are just some of the things she bought today; she had already put other items for her family into her storage space beforehand.
The main thing is that these things need to be made public so that everyone can see them.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even need to hire a car; she could just cram everything into her own little house, which would save her a lot of trouble.
After tidying up their things a bit, Shiyue sat down with the two elders and quickly got down to business.
Shen Yuanbai returned the wooden box that Shiyue had entrusted to him for safekeeping to Shiyue, and then told her that they could keep the photos.
If you need the original, you can contact her later; it's not necessary for now.
Lu Wensheng also promised Shiyue that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and give her a result, so she shouldn't worry.
Lu Wensheng also told Shiyue not to worry about the house, and that he would send a letter to the county in the name of the army, asking the county to investigate who the people spreading the rumors were and what their motives were.
With the military involved, the local government will definitely take this matter very seriously, and it will ultimately prevent it from escalating.
In addition, he said that once he has more comprehensive evidence, he will launch a full-scale attack!
At that point, the other party will definitely have no time to cause trouble for her family anymore.
After all, the evidence had already been exposed, and there was nothing left to find in the house, so they would inevitably give up.
Both Lü Wensheng and Shen Yuanbai meant the same thing: to let Shiyue go back first and wait patiently.
At this point, Whale Island felt safer to her.
Besides this incident, Lü Wensheng also brought up the previous matter of food shortages on the island.
The military took the matter very seriously, believing that there had been insufficient preparation beforehand and that they had not anticipated such an unexpected incident.
They are currently working to improve the situation by building a granary on the island, which must be able to store enough food for the island's residents for a year, and then be replaced annually.
Lu Wensheng promised that this situation would never happen again.
Shiyue was naturally very grateful after hearing this.
Shen Yuanbai also brought Shiyue some things that his wife and daughter had asked him to deliver.
Qiao Yamin brought all sorts of pills.
She was worried that it would be inconvenient for Shiyue to find herbs here, so she specially found the herbs herself and brewed them according to the proportions.
They brought ten large bags in total, some for her and some for her mother-in-law.
Although those things looked ordinary, Shiyue knew how difficult it was to collect them.
My aunt doesn't have her group-buying group, and many traditional Chinese medicine shops in the provincial capital have been vandalized.
My aunt must have gone to great lengths and begged countless people to get these pills.
Shen Ningning prepared various over-the-counter medicines for Shiyue. These were mainly for preventing heatstroke, cooling down, and repelling mosquitoes, and she prepared a large bag of them.
Shiyue accepted them all.
Shiyue also brought gifts for Uncle Shen's family.
She prepared two things: pure wool yarn and cotton fabric that she had dyed herself.
She bought the yarn through a group purchase in the group chat.
Although it is still very hot in Nanping, it is actually almost December, and northern cities have already entered winter.
The majority of items being sold in the group right now are winter protection products.
Although she doesn't need it for the time being, Shiyue still can't help but stock up on things that are particularly good and practical. And sure enough, they came in handy very soon.
She prepared a total of six and a half pounds of yarn for the Shen family, in colors of maroon, off-white, navy blue, and dark gray.
