Su Jin also wanted to drink sour plum soup, but she could only hold it back for now.
"Xiao Jin, the political commissar and I will go fishing later." Lu Shiyi chuckled, "Sister-in-law said that you need to eat more fish to become smart."
The two children cheered and wanted to follow. Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao looked at each other.
"During the evening training, you two will follow me into the mountains, put the fishing nets in the stream, and then come back to sleep." Lin Zitao told the two.
After dinner, Lin Zitao took the two Lin brothers home, while Lu Shiyi helped Su Jin clean up the kitchen.
"Wife, I won't be back at night. Lock the door before you go to sleep." Lu Shiyi placed his hands on her slightly bulging belly. "The patrol force has been increased, and the family compound is still safe."
Su Jin agreed: "I'll prepare some food for you to take with you?"
Lu Shiyi reached out and took two wrapped hand-pulled pancakes: "These two little brats ate a lot, this will be my midnight snack, and I'll take the remaining fried loach."
Su Jin took a bowl of fried loach from the cupboard: "I saved some for you a long time ago. It's cold now. Wrap it in oil paper and take it with you."
After packing up the fried loaches, Lu Shiyi walked out with two hand-pulled pancakes.
Su Jin watched him leave, closed the door and prepared to go to bed.
At 4:30 in the morning, Su Jin got up, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a doll collar, black maternity overalls, and a large bamboo basket on her back, ready to go to the black market.
Near the entrance to the black market, she concealed her bamboo basket, put cotton in a cloth bag at the bottom, and placed eggs on top.
"Sister Cheng's sister-in-law, right?" Several people saw that the stall that had been empty for nearly a month was now open. Su Jin disguised herself on the way, looking like a rural pregnant woman in her 30s.
"I was left at home because I was ill, and my sister-in-law asked me to carry the things here." Su Jin smiled foolishly, "You are the ones who have been helping my family. Some time ago, a retired soldier returned to the village and said he brought back a lot of cotton."
Su Jin opened the bamboo basket, took out a basket of eggs, and took out a cloth bag from underneath.
"Cotton?!" Several people surrounded the stall and whispered to her, "Open it and let us take a look. Don't tell anyone."
Su Jin pretended to be confused and opened the cloth bag. White cotton appeared in front of everyone, and they were all amazed.
"We buy it at twice the price of the supply and marketing cooperative." Several people hurriedly took out the tapes and divided them among themselves.
Su Jin looked at the things in the bamboo basket and had no choice but to nod.
"How many eggs are in this basket?!" A few people looked at the cotton being delivered and knew that there must not be much left.
"My village has been saving eggs for a month, a total of 45." Su Jin said helplessly, "There is not much food now, and these are fed to the children by digging earthworms."
Su Jin's words made the people around him sigh. They had originally wanted to ask Su Jin to get food in the village.
"Who says it's not!" Several people said, "Will we be able to get food during the summer harvest?"
"The harvest in the village is not good. I wonder if anyone wants to sell grain." Su Jin didn't dare to show up. After coming to the black market without telling Lu Shiyi this time, she decided not to come again before she was out of confinement.
After several people shared the eggs, Su Jin walked around with an empty bamboo basket on his back, bought a lot of seasonings and left.
Walking in the alley, she turned into a public toilet. Seeing that there was no one inside, she slipped into the space to change clothes and remove makeup, and then came out with the bamboo basket woven by Lu Shiyi.
A few people appeared on the outskirts of the black market, and Su Jin quickened his pace to leave.
As she was about to cross the street at the corner, she smelled the aroma of wontons from the state-owned restaurant, swallowed her saliva, and walked in.
"Buy a bowl of wontons and 10 meat buns!" Su Jin bought the buns and prepared to carry them back to Lu Shiyi, not knowing when he would come back in the morning.
The teller took the money and wrapped the buns in oil paper.
Su Jin sat on the bench and looked at the clock in the hotel. It was only 6:40. She yawned and decided to go back and take a nap.
"Get the wontons," the teller called from behind the counter.
Su Jin got up and went to the food window, bringing a large bowl of wontons to the table. The wontons were topped with a layer of shredded egg, dried shrimp skin and a handful of seaweed.
She ate the wontons with a spoon and found that they were made of meatballs. She lamented that she could buy a bowl of wontons for 8 cents now.
After eating a big bowl of wontons, she drank most of the soup and walked slowly towards the family compound with a bamboo basket on her back.
When she was disguising herself, she even deliberately changed her steps, not wanting her negligence to bring trouble to her family.
When walking towards the family compound, I found that the members of the Pigeon Committee came out from the alley of the black market, and there were many people who were arrested behind them.
Su Jin found that the person who just sold seasonings was still inside, so she quickened her pace and left.
In the family compound, Lu Shiyi led the team members down from the mountain. Lin Lei and Lin Yan had trained with them yesterday. The two brothers were very sleepy now and followed Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao listlessly.
"Xiao Jin, are you out?" When Lu Shiyi returned home, he happened to see Su Jin walking towards him from not far away.
He took the bamboo basket, held it in his right hand and pushed the door open.
"I bought some buns and will make you some porridge later. Let's just make do with breakfast today." Su Jin flattered Lu Shiyi, "I'm having trouble sleeping again when you're not home."
Lu Shiyi was injured during a mission, causing Su Jin to have nightmares all the time. Whenever he trained all night, Su Jin's sleep quality would deteriorate.
"After breakfast, I'll accompany you to take a nap." Lu Shiyi reached out and hugged her, his chin resting on her shoulder, and the tip of his nose smelled the scent of disguised cosmetics.
"My wife went to the black market?" Lu Shiyi had seen Su Jin's disguise and had to admit that she was professional in disguise.
