In the evening, Lu Shiyi came out of the solitary confinement room, and Liu Chuchang accompanied Lu Shiyi home. When the family members were getting their meals, they saw the two of them talking and laughing, and they were happy for Su Jin in their hearts. They had been secretly accompanying Su Jin these days, and several of them stayed by her side to prevent Mrs. An from disturbing her.
Su Jin cooked six dishes and took out two bottles of pomegranate wine she brewed herself from the space. She mentioned to Lu Shiyi that she brewed the wine in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your help!" Liu Chuchang handed her a cleaned pig's head after entering the room. "Ayi said you like to eat these, so I bought a pig's head."
Su Jin chuckled and said, "I've been braising pig's heads these past few days as a snack for you guys to go with your wine."
"I'll be troubling you from now on," Liu Chuchang chuckled. "We conducted a secret investigation into Lu Shiyuan's case and discovered a hidden mastermind behind the Fourth Battalion. The higher-ups have cleared Ayi and the Lu family, and the senior commander has even endorsed the old man."
"You're going to stay here from now on?" Su Jin asked suspiciously, "If you don't return to the capital, will your family be in trouble?"
Liu Chuchang waved his hand and said, "My family listened to Grandpa three years ago and scattered all over the country. Grandpa and Grandma are only in the sanatorium. They are protected by the leaders and no one dares to move."
The old couple of the Lu family also entered the sanatorium. In addition to safety, it also served as a bargaining chip to make the younger generations of the Lu family obey the arrangements made by the higher-ups.
The three people present were all aware of the intention of the higher-ups. Su Jin frowned slightly and looked at him, wondering if Lu Shihai and Huo Yun had any intention of staying in Songjiang Commune for a few days.
"Ayi, your uncle and aunt may not be here until September." Liu Chuchang reminded Lu Shiyi, "Sister-in-law, be careful when you go out recently. Ayi has to go to the village to investigate during the day and can't protect you in the family compound."
Lu Shiyi thought about it for an afternoon and decided to take Su Jin back to the village first.
"Wife, let's go back to the village and live there for a while." Lu Shiyi looked at Su Jin and said, "The village has not had electricity recently. The food in the refrigerator was prepared on the last day to entertain everyone."
Su Jin looked towards the kitchen. The refrigerator was full of things. She also wanted to leave the family compound, and returning to the village was the best way.
"Ayi, I'll follow your arrangements." Su Jin nodded and looked outside at Liu Chuchang. "We'll move back to the village. The rooms on both sides of the yard can be used by the team members. The educated youth used to live in the rooms, but last month everyone built houses in the village, so they all moved out."
Wang Dahua specifically brought Wang Dahong's message and mentioned the matter of building houses for the educated youth. Each person had a small courtyard with three bedrooms, a living room and a toilet in the courtyard, all with the same specifications.
Some people in the village had evil intentions and wanted to marry the female educated youth and live in the courtyard. Director Jin Ying went to the village and introduced the latest punishment method for educated youth to curb the villagers' small actions.
"Really?" Liu Chuchang specially selected a group of capable people. "Sister-in-law, the team members are going into the mountains under the pretext of training. Sister-in-law, we have also listed you as a non-staff member. I'll leave the meals for the next few days in the mountains to you."
Lu Shiyi immediately objected, saying that Su Jin was already overweight and it would be tiring to cook three meals a day for dozens of people.
"Ayi, Dahong can help by picking them up, and you can use food as compensation." Su Jin thought that the work points they would earn from working in the fields would probably not be many, and food was the most cost-effective.
"No problem." Liu Chuchang agreed immediately. "Give food to the educated youth who helped. Also, just talk to the team leader."
"When the villagers heard about the grain settlement, they also started to cause trouble for the educated youth." Lu Shiyi understood the situation in the village.
"They have a close relationship with Lu Shiyuan, so it's understandable that they don't plan to stay with the villagers." Liu Chuchang reminded Lu Shiyi, "The captain is well aware of Lu Shiyuan's crimes. Even if he helps to conceal them, he will still arrange accommodation for us."
Lu Shiyi patted his forehead and said, "Let's cooperate when we get back to the village. Xiaojin will come back with me. You guys will provide food and vegetables. My family doesn't have that much for you to waste."
The team members were aware of Su Jin's physical condition and had secretly reminded Liu Chuchang to help make requests so that they could take turns to help.
"Ayi, that's no problem. I'll assign two more team members to protect my sister-in-law and the educated youth every day, and help out in the kitchen." After Liu Chuchang finished speaking, Lu Shiyi opened the door to the dining room. He turned to Su Jin and said, "Sister-in-law, look how practical this guy is. He only lets me eat after getting benefits."
Su Jin went to the kitchen to put down the pig's head and took out the chilled mustard and black fungus salad from the refrigerator. This mustard is also something that is only available in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
She carried the fungus back to the dining room. Lu Shiyi and Liu Chuchang's expressions instantly relaxed and they looked at her with a smile.
"I brought a lot of wasabi from home. This is the cold-mixed wood ear mushrooms with horseradish sauce." Su Jin put the wood ear mushrooms on the table.
Liu Chuchang was surprised and said, "I heard from my comrades that some people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang like this. I didn't expect that my sister-in-law also likes it."
"My neighbor's grandmother often makes mustard sauce, and my mother likes to use it in salads." Su Jin's family really has mustard sauce, so Su Jin just brought all the sauces at home. "I always put some in some salads. After you eat the salad fungus, don't eat hot food, otherwise it will really overwhelm you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chuchang started coughing and Lu Shiyi burst into laughter.
"Ayi, didn't you choke when you were eating?" Liu Chuchang gulped down two glasses of pomegranate wine to alleviate the choking taste in his throat.
"Of course not. Do you think I'm the same as you?" Lu Shiyi rolled his eyes at him. "The cold dishes my wife made for me are delicious."
Lu Shiyi poured pomegranate wine for Liu Chuchang. After coming out of the imperial capital, the two of them had a rare chance to rest.
"Ayi, my sister-in-law is such a great winemaker! I wish she could make medicinal wine." Liu Chuchang thought about the telegram from home asking him to buy tiger bone wine in Northeast China. "Ayi, do you know anyone in the nearby village who has tiger bone wine?"
Su Jin and Lu Shiyi looked at each other and learned about the situation of each villager's family. The tiger bone wine also disappeared with the hunters.
"I have tiger bone wine for Grandpa Lu." Su Jin originally took two bottles of tiger bone wine from the space for Lu Bairen.
Under Lu Shiyi's suggestive gaze, Su Jin said that Lu Shiyi wanted to do a favor for Su Jin.
"Sister-in-law, are you serious? I only need half a bottle." The Liu family searched for a long time in Northeast Province, but there was no news of tiger bone wine.
Su Jin spread her hands and said, "My elders sent this to me, saying it's for Grandpa. I can give you one bottle, and you can give the other to Grandpa."
Lu Shiyi used the table as a barrier and gave her a thumbs up in praise.
"That's no problem," Liu Chuchang assured, patting his chest. "I can deliver two bottles of tiger bone wine to the two old men without leaking a single drop."
