At 6 o'clock in the morning, the farm began to get noisy, and many families went out with their families to the farm gate to get on trucks to go into the city.
The winter vegetables that each household had ordered from the supply and marketing cooperative were unloaded from the truck. Lu Shiyi stood beside the truck wearing a coat and handed the application form to Lin Zitao.
"Give it to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. They've provided us with convenience, so we can't make it difficult for the supply and marketing cooperative." Lu Shiyi instructed Lin Zitao, "I'm in the mountains today. I'll take care of anything. You take your sister-in-law and three children to the county town for some more time."
Lu Shiyi's and Lin Zitao's homes became the hardest hit areas this time. The other party learned that the two supervisors had children at home and just wanted to capture the children to blackmail them.
"Don't worry, I have arranged mobile sentries in the dark. If those people dare to come again, I don't mind making sure they never come back." Lin Zitao whispered.
Lu Shiyi stood there and watched the two trucks leave, then he turned around and went back home.
After cooking porridge and heating steamed buns in the kitchen, he tiptoed into the bedroom. Su Jin had to get up to feed her every two or three hours. Lu Shiyi originally wanted to feed her milk powder, but she refused.
When they approached the crib, Hanhan was playing with his fingers with his eyes open. Lu Shiyi reached out, picked up his son and walked outside. With his right hand, he took the pre-expressed breast milk from the milk warmer and fed him.
"Dad will feed you at night when he's home. Mom is already very tired." Lu Shiyi looked at the feeding device and thought it was very convenient.
Su Jin couldn't hold on any longer, so she took out the milk warmer.
After feeding Hanhan, Lu Shiyi let him lean on his shoulder and patted his back gently.
When Hanhan was just born, Lu Shiyi didn't dare to hold him easily, for fear that he would hurt his son if he used too much strength.
Hanhan looked at Lu Shiyi with his big eyes, and after a while, he yawned in his father's arms.
Lu Shiyi sat on a stool and coaxed Hanhan to sleep. He gently put him in the crib and pulled up the quilt so that his son could sleep comfortably.
Su Jin opened her eyes drowsily, looked at the gentle-looking man beside the crib, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Lu Shiyi noticed Su Jin's gaze and looked up at her.
"Wife, I've fed Hanhan. You can sleep a little longer. We'll clean up at home today." Lu Shiyi comforted her in a low voice, "We need to prepare food for the New Year. You'll have to work hard."
Su Jin shook her head: "There are only three of us at home, so we don't need to prepare too much for the New Year."
She wore thick black cotton pants, a white shirt underneath, and a white V-neck sweater on the outside.
"Hurry up and wash up, I'll get breakfast." Lu Shiyi kissed her forehead and turned to go to the kitchen.
Su Jin stood in front of the window looking at his back, with a slight smile on her lips.
After washing up, Su Jin applied cosmetics in a glass bottle to prevent her face from getting frostbite.
"Ayi, I think the farm is much quieter." Su Jin didn't hear the noisy voices of the children on the farm. "Every time at breakfast, there's always a lot of noise."
"Many families are going to the county town to buy things together. It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and everyone is afraid of a sudden snowfall, which could block the mountain." Lu Shiyi helped her with some food. "I asked Lao Lin to deliver the application form. It won't delay the supply and marketing cooperative's application for winter reserves."
The two of them were eating breakfast at home and discussing how to clean up the house after breakfast.
The two trucks had also arrived at the county town. Lin Zitao told the team members the time to return, and then took Yunfeng and the three children to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lin Zitao saw the director of the supply and marketing cooperative standing at the door, so he walked up and greeted him.
"Director, Lao Lu has to be on duty today, so I'm here to give you the application certificate." Lin Zitao took out the certificate from his trouser pocket. The director took it and opened it. It was stamped with the seal of the Armed Forces Department.
"Thank you so much, Political Commissar Lin! With this certificate, the application process will be much faster," the director said gratefully, pointing to the supply and marketing cooperative. "It's almost the New Year, and there will be a lot of New Year goods available today that don't require a ticket. You can buy them directly if you need them."
Lin Zitao quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much."
There were quite a few people queuing up at the supply and marketing cooperative today. After hearing what the director said, Yunfeng hurried to queue up. She looked at the list in her hand and found that there were many things she needed to buy again.
Lin Yan and Lin Lei followed Yun Feng closely, and Huo Huo was held in Lin Zitao's arms with one hand.
The teller near the door saw Lin Zitao talking to the director. While helping the customer deposit his belongings, he was thinking about how to please Lin Zitao and his family.
"Wife, let's buy two thermos." Lin Zitao took a look at the items that did not require tickets, and the big red thermos was among them.
In winter, the three children drink cold water at night. If they had a thermos, they could just add water to the hot water bag and drink warm water.
"No problem, one for our house and one for the three children." Yunfeng agreed.
After hearing this, the young wife who was waiting in line envied Yunfeng from the bottom of her heart. She married a worker, and even the thermos bottle in the betrothal gift was withheld by her parents' family.
She wondered whether to exchange tickets with Lin Zitao, as the thermos required a lot of industrial coupons.
"As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the supply and marketing cooperative has applied for a batch of benefits for everyone that do not require tickets, but only money. You can purchase according to your needs." The director of the supply and marketing cooperative took a loudspeaker and spoke loudly.
The director told Lin Zitao and wanted to announce it to the public to prevent anyone from causing trouble at the door.
After the words were spoken, many people started talking about it, and some sent their children home to inform the public.
It is a rare opportunity to buy things without tickets in the supply and marketing cooperative, so no one will miss it as long as it is useful.
Many people nearby who were planning to get married might not be able to collect enough industrial tickets to buy things, so after hearing what the director of the supply and marketing cooperative said, they looked forward to adding one or two items to their wedding supplies.
Lin Zitao reached out and put Huo Huo on the ground, holding him tightly with his right hand.
"Dad, I want some candy!" Huo Huo was very popular in Liu Yunshan's and Su Jin's families. Whenever they saw Huo Huo, they would give him some candy.
"No!" Lin Zitao refused, "You always eat candy secretly, and your teeth are no longer in good condition."
"I don't have a toothache!" Huo Huo listened to the little chest and said, "Big brother also eats secretly, and eats more than me. If he has a toothache, it will be Big brother who gets it first."
Lin Zitao glanced at his eldest son. Recently, Lin Lei often stayed at home to study. Lin Zitao and his wife thought that the child had grown up and gave him a certain amount of private space.
"No!" Lin Lei hurriedly shook his head and glared at Huo Huo: "You cheated me out of so many White Rabbit candies, and now you're saying I eat candy. You took all my candy away."
Huo Huo raised his index finger and looked at Lin Lei innocently: "Brother, you said last time that eating White Rabbit would cause toothache."
Lin Zitao ignored the two brothers and just looked at the team in front.
