On Saturday morning, Lu Bairen received news from the post office in advance and was waiting at home for a package sent from Northeast Province. His neighbors all envied his family.
Since Lu Shiyi got married, he often mailed things back, and the four elders all knew that it was Su Jin who packed them.
"Xiaoyi is quite frequent in sending mails. Please tell him later." Grandma Lu heard that the family compound in Northeast Province had been inspected, and she was worried that it was caused by Lu Shiyi who kept sending things by mail.
"The search went smoothly." Lu Bairen comforted Grandma Lu, "It was caused by Pei Ju trying to bring others down. The homes of the three top leaders were all searched, and none of them had any problems."
"Mom, I called Xiaoyi." Following his father's reminder, Lu Shihai became more cautious and kept a close eye on news from Northeast China. "Xiaoyi and Xiaojin both have jobs. With their two allowances and receipts, those people won't be able to find anything."
Lu Shihai had called Lu Shiyi some time ago and asked him to help buy grain in Northeast Province. Huo Yun also sent half of the bills from home to him.
"It's all food!" Grandma Lu opened the sack and found a bag of fine grains inside, including 25 kilograms of rice and 15 kilograms of millet, as well as a large bag of dried mushrooms and dried wood ear mushrooms. "It's Xiaojin's calligraphy. Xiaoyi didn't come with them? How could Xiaojin carry such a heavy thing?"
Grandma Lu was angry. She scolded Lu Shiyi while packing up her things. When she poured all the fine grains into the rice jar, she found two cans of beef sauce wrapped in oil paper.
"Xiao Jin, this kid actually took two more cans of beef sauce. The one at home is almost finished." Grandma Lu put the two cans of beef sauce on the table. "Beef is hard to buy, and this sauce is fried in oil."
"Xiao Yi and his wife gave it to you. You should study hard." Lu Bairen looked at Lu Shihai and reminded him, "Also, the two children have just started their own families and they will definitely need things everywhere. Ask your mother to send some tickets over later."
"Dad, Xiao Jin also wrote a letter, asking for the address of big brother's garrison." Lu Shihai found that the fungus and mushrooms were packaged separately. In the small cloth bag on the outside, there was also a letter written by Su Jin.
Su Jin was not afraid of the trouble and packed the things in multiple layers of cloth bags, just to prevent the things from being exposed.
"Call Xiaoyi and ask Xiaojin what's going on about wanting the address?" Lu Bairen was worried that the young couple would send more food to Lu Shisheng. "He asked vaguely on the phone."
Lu Shihai picked up the phone and called Lu Shiyi. Lu Shiyi had just finished a meeting in the afternoon. When he passed by the office and heard the phone ringing, he hurriedly pushed the door open and went in.
"Xiao Yi, the package has been received," Lu Shihai's voice reached his ears, "Xiao Jin, what do you want your second uncle's address for?"
"Dad, Xiao Jin made a lot of mushroom sauce. It's just right to send some to Second Uncle. We can't finish it at home." Lu Shiyi didn't tell the truth. Su Jin took out two portions of fine grains from the space.
Nowadays, military mail parcels are not strictly inspected, so the young couple decided to send some food from time to time. When the situation becomes dangerous, they should be able to survive the crisis with this food.
"Okay, you write it down." At Lu Bairen's suggestion, Lu Shihai told him the address of Lu Shisheng's family compound.
After Lu Shiyi sent the address, he went home during a break in training and gave the address to Su Jin.
"Wife, I got my uncle's address." Lu Shiyi entered the study and saw Su Jin working on the final exam. "Let's go to the market tomorrow and tell them that someone called to buy something."
Lu Shiyi answered the call from home, and some people soon learned the details.
"Okay!" Su Jin nodded. "Family members should keep quiet. Apart from shopping and picking up the children, they should not go out at other times."
Lu Shiyi hummed: "Peng Hui led people to search, and even Pei Ju was asked to return home professionally. Everyone is afraid."
Su Jin sighed. The Pei family's actions angered the public, so none of the family members would plead for them.
"Xiao Yi, can you send some more food to Uncle?" Su Jin looked at Lu Shisheng's garrison on the coast of Guangdong Province, where there was a constant risk of being cut off from the road. "This time, there's a ship sending packages, so I'll send more. I asked the post office, and they say the post office in the nearby county town can also send food."
Lu Shiyi nodded: "I'll borrow the car tomorrow."
"Just tell me what I want to eat, and it's only available in Lin County!" Su Jin looked at Lu Shiyi and said, "What is there in Lin County that we don't have here?"
"Elm seeds!" Lu Shiyi told Su Jin, "The temperature in Lin County is even colder. We've run out of elm seeds here, but they've only just fallen over there."
"Okay." Su Jin nodded and agreed, "Let's buy some fruit and bring it back for the sisters-in-law."
Lu Shiyi reached out and hugged her: "I bought this for yourself, but you always want to share it with others."
"We'll get news if we distribute it." Su Jin didn't care about the food. She could use it to gauge the character of the family members. "Those who are greedy for small profits should reduce contact with us."
There are a small number of family members who like to take advantage of small things, and the children they teach are the same. When Su Jin distributed the White Rabbit milk candies, those children wanted to eat more and take more.
"I'm going to the training ground. You make dinner and wait for me to clean it up." Lu Shiyi said hurriedly.
Lu Bairen kept complaining about how he asked Su Jin to carry more than 50 kilograms of things to the post office. Lu Shiyi couldn't explain why Su Jin didn't carry it, so he had to listen to his elders' complaints.
Su Jin chuckled: "Is it the food that's being talked about again?"
"Grandpa and grandma are nagging at me, so you save me some trouble!" Lu Shiyi flicked her forehead, "Remember to leave it at home and I'll clean it up."
Su Jin stood at the window to see him off, then sat down at the desk and started making the test papers.
The 4 o'clock public holiday bell rang, Su Jin put down the pen in her hand, got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
She stood up a little too quickly, her body swayed a bit, and she stretched out her hands to support herself on the table.
