In early August, the rain finally stopped and the sun was hanging in the sky. Lu Shiyi helped Su Jin to the clinic. Wang Boya saw that Su Jin's face was rosy and asked her to weigh herself first.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you going to the family compound for another check-up?" Wang Boya was applied for by Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao. The Wang family was marginalized in the capital, and she applied to join the farm, but those people turned a blind eye.
"There's no good medical staff over there at the hospital, so why not stay here? You and Doctor Lin are both here. Doctor Lin used to be a master obstetrician at the Imperial Capital General Hospital." Lu Shiyi shook his head. The Wu couple finished their current tasks and were also planning to live here. "Bu Wu and Auntie have been helping the Lin family take care of Huo Huo. The three of them will be here the day after tomorrow morning. The family compound has been assigned to another deputy minister to manage. We just need to gather information behind the scenes."
Wu Jun deliberately asked Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao to go ahead, and then transferred the trustworthy team members out of the family compound, and the family members also followed them out of the family compound one after another.
"When the farm was being built, nearly 40 additional courtyards were added. Hidden in the dense forest, they can serve as shelters. We, the doctors, live there." Wang Boya asked Su Jin to examine him and told him where he lived. "Go out from Mr. Ping's courtyard and walk along the vegetable fields on the other side of the wall. The second courtyard in the first row is where Liu Siying and I live."
Su Jin nodded: "If you two have any problems, come to my house. We have plenty of food reserves at home."
Wang Boya and Liu Siying didn't have much food, and the food in the cafeteria was prepared according to the portion.
"Sister-in-law, we can buy food at any time with food coupons and money." Wang Boya looked at the couple strangely.
Lu Shiyi glanced out the window and muttered softly, "There's not much food in the nearby villages. How much do you think the grain station can hold?"
Wang Boya moved his ears, paused the pen in his right hand, and continued to record data.
"Xiaoying and I will take a day off tomorrow and go to the grain station and the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Ministry of Land, are there any purchasing team members going into the mountains?" Wang Boya and Liu Siying saved up some food coupons and mailed some to the elders of the two families before going into the mountains.
Both the Wang and Liu families have been marginalized, and their welfare is not as good as before, so they try their best to help their families.
"You might as well send food home instead of food coupons." Lu Shiyi reminded, "My wife mailed food to grandpa and grandma."
Su Jin chuckled and said, "Ayi is right. We don't have to make the elders queue up when we mail food home."
Wang Boya recorded all the data and took Su Jin's pulse. The child was in good condition.
"You and your wife are right. After all, the people in your family are old, and it's not a good idea to queue up overnight." Wang Boya smiled.
Lu Shiyi held Su Jin's hand and walked home together.
"Ayi, I want to go to the yard over there on the farmland. A few children came to our house the other day." Su Jin looked at the house in the distance. "Grandpa Ping and his family are not in good health. Don't let these boys bump into them."
Lu Shiyi sighed and said, "The two families and the two team members all returned to the family compound. Elder Song went to farm, and the children threw stones at the elderly, knocking Elder Song to the ground. Captain Wu hurriedly sent Elder Song to the hospital for examination. The families of the two team members and their families were called back to await investigation."
Mr. Song is one of the people on the protection list sent down from above.
"No wonder the military doctor asked me to make some bone soup for Grandpa Song." Su Jin patted his forehead and said, "Let's go to the county town tomorrow. I want to buy some meat from the butcher stall."
Su Jin took the bones from the kitchen team leader to make soup. She was a little greedy and wanted to eat braised pork ribs.
"What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it." Lu Shiyi looked down at Su Jin's bulging belly and decided not to take her down the mountain.
"No!" Su Jin said coquettishly, "I want to take this opportunity to go to the county town for a walk. I feel uncomfortable staying in the mountains all the time."
Lu Shiyi sighed helplessly: "You have to get up at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, you are not allowed to stay in bed."
Su Jin nodded obediently and touched her nose: "If I can't get up, you have to wait for me at home."
Lu Shiyi nodded and led her forward.
When we approached the edge of the farmland and the fence of the residential yard, we found that there were still human figures swaying in those houses.
Su Jin looked over curiously: "Ayi, didn't you say that no one lives there anymore?"
"They are probably here to move. Those family members were sent down the mountain overnight and asked to move out of the farm within a month." Lu Shiyi walked in front, half-covering Su Jin to prevent any emergencies so that he could protect his wife.
Lu Shiyi and Su Jin approached the farmland and heard a commotion in the yard at the edge of the farmland.
The three military wives like to gossip, and the children of the three families often like to get into trouble. They think their sons are the best and that it must be the children outside who bully their sons.
Protecting his own children caused the child to be unable to distinguish right from wrong. Old Song was pushed and fell, breaking his bones and had to stay in bed for at least three months.
The three sisters-in-law took advantage of Mr. Song's status and thought that since he was already on the farm and had to work even if he was injured, why should their son be punished?
"Pack your things quickly." The man, dressed in military uniform, was packing up his belongings. "I trusted you too much. I didn't leave the farm until you taught my sons right and wrong."
The man regretted not listening to Lin Zitao's reminder and disciplining his three sons strictly. Now, his sons were locked up in a small dark room for reflection, and this woman was still making trouble here.
"I'm doing this for your own good. What's so good about living on the farm? You don't want to live in a nice house in the compound, but you insist on living here." The military wife sobbed, "Now that I'm back, you still despise me."
"Three children are in the confinement room. Do you think this is a joke? You have ruined my future." The man was angry. The situation outside was chaotic and it was not easy to gain military merit. If he could gain a foothold on Lu Shiyi's side, he would be able to rise to the top in one step when the situation improved.
He had to work hard to scheme against many people before he got this opportunity, but it was cut off by this woman.
"If you want to say that the Lu Department is being unkind, I've always said that my little sister is the best match for him, but he married an educated youth without even waiting for me to act as a matchmaker." The military wife complained, "I sacrificed my little sister to marry him for your own good."
"What is Mrs. Lu's character and appearance like? What is your little sister like? There is a world of difference." What else does the man not know? "A woman who can't even read a single word dares to covet the Lu Ministry. Do you have a brain?"
The man was so mad at the woman in front of him that he couldn't help but think of his own situation.
"Tell me, are you still planning to plot against me?" The man had a childhood sweetheart, and they were engaged. He went back to visit his family, but was tricked by the woman and eventually had to marry her.
The military wife was stunned that her husband actually knew the details. She stopped arguing, lowered her head and began to pack up.
