Around 10 o'clock, the police station personnel arrived. People inside and outside the supply and marketing cooperative were looking at the woman. The clerk at the meat stall told the police the truth. Lu Shiyi and Su Jin were questioned by the police because they were eyewitnesses.
"Minister Lu, when did you and Mrs. Lu come here?" the police asked as a routine matter.
Lu Shiyi and Su Jin told the truth about the situation, and then the police went to other tellers to find out the situation.
"Lu Bu, Teacher Su, what do you want?" The butcher cut the meat they requested and immediately wrapped it in oil paper and handed it to them. "I'll be there every Wednesday. There are three bones in it. I remember Teacher Su likes bone soup."
Lu Shiyi raised the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for this."
"I'll be here every Wednesday if you come to the butcher's stall," the cashier said cheerfully. "I'll definitely leave the bones for you."
After the two of them thanked him together, Lu Shiyi put the things in a bamboo basket and carried it on his back.
He held Su Jin's right hand and followed her out of the supply and marketing cooperative. Because the incident was serious, more and more people came to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Wife, let's go to the black market to buy some fruit!" Lu Shiyi said to Su Jin, "Today is the opening time of the black market. We haven't bought fruit at home for a long time."
There was very little fruit in the supply and marketing cooperative. Lu Shiyi went there several times but didn't see any fruit, and he couldn't buy any.
"Ayi, let's go over there secretly!" Lu Shiyi was wearing sportswear today, so he was not so conspicuous when walking on the street.
The two of them walked quickly to the alley and walked into an empty corner. Su Jin took out the tools, and the two of them put on makeup and changed their faces.
"Wife, you have such great skills!" Lu Shiyi noticed that Su Jin had used cosmetics to change 70% of her face. He sighed and said, "Paint it for me."
Su Jin took the tools and began to apply it on his face. This place used to be the residence of wealthy businessmen in the county. For various reasons, these people had left long ago, and the courtyards were empty.
"Ayi, I've finished your makeup!" Su Jin made the two of them look like they were about forty years old, and they were wearing work clothes.
Lu Shiyi looked at the mirror and gave her a thumbs up.
"My wife's hands are so skillful." Lu Shiyi praised.
Su Jin smiled and followed him out of the alley and to the entrance of the black market.
The two guards stared at the young couple for a long time, then moved aside to open the door, and Lu Shiyi led Su Jin out.
"Ayi, I want to buy some more vegetable seedlings." Su Jin asked Lu Shiyi in a low voice, "Those vegetable seedlings look good to me."
He accompanied Su Jin to the vegetable stall and squatted on the ground looking at the vegetable seedlings.
The old man sat on the ground and introduced the types of vegetable seedlings on his stall.
"I bought them all." Lu Shiyi said directly, "Old man, please put these seedlings into the bamboo basket for me."
The old man protected all the seedlings and put them into the boxes one by one.
"We have to plant them in the vegetable field today, otherwise the seedlings will not survive." The old man told Lu Shiyi the truth.
Lu Shiyi agreed, and Su Jin continued to stroll with Lu Shiyi, and found that there were more and more stalls in the black market.
"Ayi, I see there are peaches!" Su Jin looked at the hairy peaches that she liked to eat and saw that they were for sale, so she immediately pulled him over.
Lu Shiyi's mouth curled up: "Wife, you can only buy two kilograms of peaches."
"Okay, two pounds is fine." Su Jin chuckled, "Something is better than nothing."
Lu Shiyi carried a bamboo basket to the stall and bought two kilograms of harder peaches. She waited for Lu Shiyi to pay and put them in the bamboo basket.
She looked around at the surrounding environment and the goods on the surrounding stalls. There were fruits and grains in many places.
"Ayi, has food been distributed in the nearby villages recently?" Su Jin asked Lu Shiyi in a low voice.
She found that some of the stall owners were members of the Fourth Brigade. When they noticed Lu Shiyi and Su Jin, they all lowered their hats.
"Wife, Lu Xin has also distributed food." Lu Shiyi whispered, "The village only has a lot of fine grain left. The relief grain has been distributed. Since the village does not have enough grain seeds, the old masters have selected grain seeds from the existing grain."
Lu Shiyi was worried that next year's summer harvest would be even less. Su Jin had made some preparations, and the space farm had also increased its grain planting, but she still felt uneasy.
"Ayi, I think we should plant more sweet potatoes and potatoes next year, and intercrop corn in the rice fields. These can all be eaten as food." Su Jin muttered in a low voice.
Lu Shiyi slowed down his pace and strolled with Su Jin.
"Wife, we have peanuts for sale here." Lu Shiyi likes to eat boiled peanuts in salt water, and even Lin Zitao likes it. It is the best dish to go with wine. "Old Lin drinks every day as you said. I brought some peanuts last time, and he liked it."
"Buy 5 kilograms of peanuts. I see there are also edamame." Su Jin instructed Lu Shiyi, "Also, buy some corn."
Su Jin looked at the stall selling corn, and people from the city were buying in groups of three or four.
"Wife, I bought some and put them in the box." Lu Shiyi walked to several stalls and bought peanuts and corn.
Su Jin walked over slowly and Lu Shiyi bought what he needed.
Lu Shiyi looked at the increasing number of people, and he took Su Jin's hand and walked out together.
After leaving the alley where the black market was located, I let go of his hand and walked home. When I passed the intersection, I saw a team of people wearing red armbands rushing into the alley.
Lu Shiyi's lips curled up slightly: "Wife, we are lucky to have come out early."
"Someone snitched again?" Su Jin was curious as to why they came again, "Why did they come directly here after the black market opened twice?
Lu Shiyi snorted coldly: "The two people at the door are from the Pigeon Committee."
