After more than ten days of continuous rainfall, some old houses in the village were washed away. Lu Xin led the villagers to drain the drainage ditch outside. The villagers had suggested that the team members on the mountain come down to help.
Lu Xin was reminded by Lu Shiyi in advance and arranged the people in the old house into the empty room in the brigade headquarters. He did not hide the truth and told them the requirements of the Pigeon Committee. If Lu Shiyi and others helped privately, they would not be following the rules and would be punished.
The villagers started talking and learned that without orders from above, no soldiers could be mobilized.
"Village chief, has the relief food from the county arrived?" Comforted by Lu Xin, the villagers began to save themselves.
The Fourth Brigade was reminded and was the first to start settling the villagers whose houses were not stable. They also led strong laborers to dig drainage ditches in the fields.
"No." Lu Xin went to the commune to squat before dawn for several days in a row. "I waited for the commune staff to come to work and ask questions before returning to work."
The team members who caused trouble with Huang Wen had their entire families taken away by the Pigeon Committee and sent to the northwest to work. Nowadays, the villagers all have a bottom line. Lu Xin listened to Lu Shiyi's suggestion and asked the educated youth to open small classes during their off-work time.
Many villagers have become literate and listen to the educated youth reading newspapers. They no longer have to listen to the village head and elders' arrangements for everything as before. The whole appearance of the village has changed.
"Village chief, we have dug drainage ditches. Should we go and dig drainage ditches on the mountain?" The villagers thought that if they helped dig drainage ditches on the farm, the team members would definitely send the prey down the mountain.
"The road into the mountains is blocked by a stream. Let's wait until it rains," Lu Xin shouted from the field. "Hurry up and work. If it rains too hard, go home first."
Halfway up the mountain, Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao had already led the team members to dig drainage ditches, and also dug drainage ditches around the farm to prevent any accidents caused by the surge in rainfall.
The houses on the farm are all brick and tile houses, and they are specially waterproofed according to the residential quarters in the imperial capital, so they will not leak even when it rains.
"Ayi, it has been raining for more than ten days in a row and it hasn't stopped yet." Su Jin always felt that the rain was abnormal. In the north, it would never rain for so long.
"Now we can only wait and see when the rain stops. Most of the elderly people can't get out of bed, and the military doctors are busy examining them." Lu Shiyi sent a lot of plasters to Su Jin, and even the military doctors said the plasters were good.
Those plasters were Chinese herbal plasters that Su Jin took out of her space. She specially made some according to the production methods in the book. She was glad that there was a Chinese medicine store on the street where she brought them.
"After dinner, let's continue making plasters." Su Jin and Lu Shiyi make some plasters every day. There are finished products in the Chinese medicine pharmacy. She studies hard and masters the technique of making plasters, and she can also make the plasters have a source.
Lu Shiyi gave Su Jin a thumbs up and said, "My wife is smart. Even the military doctor asked about the plaster several times. Fortunately, you were able to do it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to report to your superiors."
Su Jin pursed her lips and smiled: "There are some ingredients in the plaster that pregnant women cannot use, but it's still okay to do it."
After breakfast, Lu Shiyi cleaned up the dishes. Su Jin threw the medicinal herbs brought by the military doctor to Lu Shiyi to crush, and she went to the kitchen to cook lunch.
Su Jin hasn't been cooking much recently, so she made a few cold dishes that the old men like to whet their appetites.
The military doctor examined the elderly people and specifically told them what they were not allowed to eat. Su Jin looked carefully and filled the lunch boxes marked with the elderly people's names with individually mixed cold dishes. He then mixed the rest and distributed it to the rest of the people.
After a few days, the elderly people's health gradually improved. After using Su Jin's plaster, some of them were able to walk.
The military doctor came to her house specifically to ask for the prescription. Su Jin told the military doctor all the medicinal ingredients and asked several military doctors to help her make the plaster for two afternoons.
They put the plaster into the medicine box and started to examine the patient, only to find that the plaster they made was not as effective as Su Jin's. For the sake of the elderly, they had to ask Su Jin to help make some more.
"Ayi, the meal is ready, please take it to the elderly quickly!" Su Jin has been busy cooking and making plasters in recent days, and has not even knitted sweaters for the children.
Lu Shiyi stood up and went to the kitchen. After washing his hands, he went out with a packed lunch box in each hand.
He walked on the cobblestone road in a raincoat, and saw a few old people sitting by the windows looking out. He happily delivered food to each of their homes.
"Shi Yi, take all the food you've distributed. I'll eat with your family." Old Ping pointed to the food the farm had just distributed this month. "How is Xiao Jin producing?"
"It will be October, but we have to go down the mountain for inspection every month." Lu Shiyi received orders from above, and he led the team to stay on the mountain before September.
Yunfeng waited for the weather to improve, and took Lin Lei and Lin Yan into the mountains, planning to stay there.
With Yunfeng's resignation, there were major changes in the teachers at school. Yunfeng's former colleagues who had a good relationship with her privately reminded her to quickly suspend the children's classes. The teachers who would teach in the next semester would basically be the first batch of members of the Pigeon Committee.
In order to prevent the two brothers from being abducted, Yunfeng immediately went to the school to apply for leave of absence.
The couple called to discuss again and decided to let Yunfeng take the two children into the mountains so that the elders could teach them.
Many of these elderly people are university professors, and some are professors from research institutes. The two children will definitely do better under their guidance than in school.
After delivering the meal, Lu Shiyi washed his hands and went into the dining room. Su Jin stared at the small stove in the middle of the table, where fish was stewed in the casserole.
"Ayi, you're back!" Su Jin looked at Lu Shiyi and raised her hands. "Let's eat quickly. I've already stewed the fish."
While the two were eating, Lu Shiyi told Su Jin that Yunfeng had taken the children and several wives of soldiers who had accompanied the army into the mountains.
"Isn't it still raining?" Su Jin asked suspiciously.
"The situation in the county town is really bad. These children are all in the eighth grade, and the school situation is unstable. Lao Lin has notified us to pick them up and take them to the mountains tomorrow." Lu Shiyi told Su Jin, "Except for my sister-in-law, the other sisters-in-law who are with the army live in the row of houses next to the farmland. If you don't forget to go over there, you won't see them."
Lin Zitao specially led his team members to add a fence yesterday, worried that the naughty children would bump into the elderly.
"If those kids find out that we're being nice to the elderly, will they come down the mountain to complain?" Su Jin asked with a frown because he didn't like some of the kids in the courtyard who loved to complain.
"There is a fence in the middle, and people on the other side can't get through. There are members of the Pigeon Committee watching from the outside, so they can't make trouble even if they want to." Lu Shiyi was glad that he and Peng Hui borrowed someone to look after the farm, otherwise, he might not be able to control it.
"I won't go that way, don't worry, there will be no problem." Su Jin comforted Lu Shiyi, worried that he would lose his temper again.
