After returning home in the afternoon, Zong Li came back from the cafeteria with lunch. Su Jin ate lunch tiredly and told Lu Shiyi about what happened at school. Due to the unstable situation, the students were also panicking.
Liu Chuchang went directly to the classroom to arrest people, causing panic among the students.
"The Fan family is a traitor, and Fan Rusen at school is just the tip of the iceberg." Lu Shiyi introduced the situation of the Fan family. "Ke Ying brought the things to Grandpa. Grandpa Ke will come here to recuperate at the latest the day after tomorrow."
"Will Grandpa and Grandma come with you?" Su Jin only spoke to the elders of the Lu family on the phone. "If Grandpa and Grandma come, you must tell me in advance. I need to prepare a welcoming banquet."
Lu Shiyi shook his head: "Grandma was worried that you would be tired, so she asked me to look after you."
He picked up some food for Su Jin and told her to rest in the afternoon and not to move any heavy objects.
"Ayi, can grandpa and grandma come too?" Su Jin asked directly, stopping Lu Shiyi from nagging. "It would be better if you just said it directly. Fetch all the elders tomorrow."
"Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa Ke and Grandma Ke have all found houses in the General Building behind our yard. Those are where the elderly come to recuperate." Lu Shiyi told Su Jin, "Grandpa and Grandma will arrive tomorrow, and we will have dinner with them."
"Let me prepare some. We'll make six dishes and one soup. Do we want to have meat dishes?" Su Jin looked at the fact that April was still two days away, and wondered if the old men had any taboos.
The two put down their chopsticks, and Lu Shiyi cleaned up the dishes. The old men came here by jeep, a journey of one day and one night, so they needed to rest for two or three days.
"Grandpa and the others are coming here by car. Let them rest at home for three days first." Lu Shiyi prepared to settle the elders first. "After lunch, let's go over to see Grandpa and Grandma. Don't eat over there."
Su Jin followed his instructions and thought about what gift to prepare for the old people.
"Don't prepare anything. Just bring the chili sauce and beef sauce tomorrow." Lu Shiyi received a call from Ke Ying this morning. The beef sauce he brought was confiscated by Grandpa Ke.
"If I get the chance, I'll bring a few more bottles to Ke Ying." Su Jin chuckled.
After they bought the beef, she cut it up during the Chinese New Year. Except for the brisket and shank, she made the rest of the beef into beef jerky and beef sauce.
"I'll take a few more bottles. Luckily, I've saved up quite a few empty ones," Su Jin said, taking empty bottles from the supermarket in the space. After Lu Shiyi's transformation, they were similar to canned fruit. "I'll take some more empty bottles back. The toon in the yard can also be picked. I'll pick them all and make toon jam."
Su Jin was once keen on making various sauces and found many recipes on the Internet.
"Xiao Jin, I'll help you pick some Chinese toon when we have a day off on Sunday!" Su Jin's sauces were liked by everyone. The beef sauce he brought to the office was almost eaten by several leaders.
"Ayi, this mixed noodles is delicious." Su Jin likes her current life. She cooks every day and is busy taking care of the vegetable garden. She lives a fulfilling life every day, and the situation in the village has improved a lot.
Lu Shiyi cleaned up the dishes and handed her a cup of warm water.
"Is Xiaojin here?" Wang Dahua called Su Jin at the door. She was always panicked and worried that something had happened to Wang Dahong.
"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?" Su Jin came out alone and opened the gate.
"Xiao Jin, can you help me contact Dahong? I want to meet Dahong!" Wang Dahua had never been to the Fourth Brigade and wanted Su Jin to take her there.
Lu Shiyi stood in front of the door of the living room and listened to the conversation between the two. He didn't want Su Jin to go back, but he couldn't force her to stay at home. Dr. Yang said that it is best to keep pregnant women in a good mood.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry. I'll take you there now. My eldest sister should be busy working in the village." Su Jin hurriedly comforted Wang Dahua. "I'll go back and get the house key. Please wait a moment."
Su Jin turned around and went back into the house, reaching out and poking his chest.
"Do you need to go back to the village to get something?" Su Jin asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law is feeling anxious and worried that something happened to my elder sister in the village."
"Take your sister-in-law back, and call Wang Dahong home yourself." Lu Shiyi didn't want Su Jin to be involved in the affairs of the Wang sisters. He had a meeting in the conference room that afternoon and couldn't accompany her back to the village. "Let Zong Li go back with you. Come back if anything happens. Only when you're not hurt can you help others, right?"
Following Lu Shiyi's instructions, Su Jin packed up her things and went out with her backpack.
"Xiao Jin, thank you for your help!" Wang Dahua's face was full of anxiety. "You are heavy, let's go slowly."
Su Jin hummed: "Sister-in-law, go to my house and wait. I will ask my elder sister to go home."
"You're so thoughtful. I can't help her for now, and I can't let her get tricked in the village." Wang Dahua's eyes reddened when Sun Shun mentioned that the Wang family came to Wang Dahua to ask for money, saying that their brother was in trouble. "Xiao Jin, is there a way to get back without being seen by the villagers?"
Su Jin was stunned for a moment: "Sister-in-law doesn't want outsiders to see you?"
"Yes!" Wang Dahua nodded, clutching the package tightly in her right hand. After thinking for a moment, she told Su Jin the truth. "Old Sun told me that when he was sending a comrade to the train station that day, he saw my parents there. He asked his comrade to inquire at home, and he heard that my youngest brother had gotten into trouble and needed money to settle it."
Wang Dahong might be forced to marry by her parents, but fortunately she has the protection of being an educated youth. As long as she does not agree, her family will not be able to arrange for her to return to the city.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, my elder sister will be fine." Su Jin finally understood that Wang Dahua didn't want to contact her family anymore.
Su Jin led Wang Dahua into the village from the west side. There was a dirt road leading to the outside. Because it was close to the foot of the mountain, most people would not walk on it.
"There are very few people walking around here. If you go here, you must leave at daybreak." Su Jin reminded Wang Dahua to prevent her from getting into danger here. "My house is not far away. You wait at the back door for a while. I'll go around to the front to open the door.
Except for three people, the rest of the people still lived in the Youth League Courtyard, and the villagers did not dare to cause trouble in Lu Shiyi's yard.
Therefore, Wang Dahua and the other two were safe. Many female educated youth wanted to move in, but Wang Dahua dismissed them all on the grounds that Su Jin was no longer around and she could not give them a reply.
Su Jin left Wang Dahahua at the back door. She walked back for a while and then entered the village from the entrance.
Many young wives went home to fetch water to the fields. When they saw Su Jin coming back, they all greeted her.
Su Jin had a faint smile on his face, and there were many unfamiliar people in front of him.
"Is Wang Zhiqing in the fields?" Su Jin asked a familiar young wife with a smile.
"Wang Zhiqing is working in the fields. Su Zhiqing, you'd better help Wang Zhiqing find a job in the city. Lin Laobao's family in the east end of the village must be interested in Wang Zhiqing, and his idiot son is pestering him every day." Wang Dahong secretly gave the young wife a sweet potato because her mother-in-law withheld her food. "I heard Wang Zhiqing's parents are here to find out which family offers the highest betrothal gift."
