As night fell, the Lu family finished their dinner. Lu Shiyi pushed the stroller and walked home holding Su Jin's hand with his left hand. The elders of the Lu family wanted to keep Hanhan at home, but the little guy was not happy. After a burst of crying, Lu Shiyi's plan of a world for two was ruined.
Su Jin put her left hand on his arm, and Lu Shiyi looked unhappy.
"Ayi, when Hanhan grows up, he won't be so clingy with us." Su Jin chuckled, "Don't we say we're going to eat roast duck tomorrow?"
With Su Jin's comfort, Lu Shiyi calmed down for a rare time. Looking at the fat boy beside him, he felt less depressed.
"Grandpa, grandma, parents all like you. Don't you feel a lot more relaxed?" Lu Shiyi remembered that Su Jin almost couldn't sleep the night before coming to Beijing, fearing that the Lu family didn't like her.
Su Jin chuckled and said, "Once you've finalized the list of people to deliver the tiger bone wine to, we'll go deliver it after dinner tomorrow."
Su Jin heard from Lu Bairen that these people might not be in good health.
"Ginseng wine or tiger bone wine will do." Lu Shiyi screened the people who were sent in his mind. Many of them had been sent to the farm, where there were military doctors who were responsible for their treatment.
The family of three returned home. Lu Shiyi first made Hanhan's crib and put his sleeping son in it.
He then took Su Jin to see the assigned home in the imperial capital, which was half an hour's walk from the old house. The houses in the courtyard were allocated according to military ranks.
"Wife, we have bungalows here. Each courtyard has five bedrooms and two living rooms." Lu Shiyi and Su Jin introduced their homes. "Not long after I got the land, I went to Songjiang Commune. I was on a mission there, so the houses here were not taken away."
Su Jin found that the location of the houses was very similar to that of the Fourth Brigade, except that there were more houses, the kitchen and bathroom were more complete, and there was a separate room next to the main house as a bathroom. There was running water in the house, so there was no need to fetch water from the well in the yard every day like in the village.
"Ayi, this place looks like the Fourth Battalion." Su Jin looked at Lu Shiyi and said.
"The fourth brigade has two bedrooms and a living room," Lu Shiyi said, "and there's also a vegetable cellar in the backyard."
As they walked, Lu Shiyi explained to Su Jin that although there was everything in the courtyard, everyone was used to storing more things for the winter.
There is winter hunting every winter, and in the capital, people can only buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative with receipts.
"Ayi, come back before the New Year, we have to mail a lot of meat." Su Jin took the flashlight from the space and followed Lu Shiyi down to the vegetable cellar.
She has always lived in the south. When she was in college, she heard her northern classmates talk about how they helped their family carry cabbages when they were young.
"I'll call back in advance and ask the logistics department to help buy winter vegetables. We can also grow some vegetables in the house. After the New Year, I'll apply to drive back." Lu Shiyi's level allows him to drive during holidays. In addition, Su Jin still has to deliver documents back at the end of the year.
Su Jin followed Lu Shiyi back to the ground and found that the walls of every house here were very high, making it impossible to see whether anyone lived in the next yard.
"Ayi, can't you see the situation of the neighbors next door?" Su Jin found that the situation here was different from that on the farm.
"We have two families living here. The garrison patrols every half an hour, so it's safer here." Lu Shiyi told Su Jin, "There are three gates in the yard, and they are all guarded by garrison soldiers 24 hours a day."
"I'm looking forward to the day when we come back!" Su Jin was held in his arms. Lu Shiyi had a hanging basket installed on the left wall near the front door, so that the two of them could sit on the chairs and watch the stars.
"It's still cold now. It would be nice to watch the stars if it gets warmer." Lu Shiyi and Su Jin were talking about the situation in the capital. Summer is the busiest time of year, and there are summer camps for children in the courtyard during both winter and summer vacations. "We also joined the Xiali Camp when we were over three years old, and we come back to participate every winter and summer vacation."
Children in the compound are exposed to these activities from a young age and are more likely to follow in the footsteps of their elders and enter the military camp than those outside.
"Will Hanhan go too?" Lu Shiyi wasn't working in the capital, so Hanhan probably rarely came back during holidays. "There's no winter or summer camp in Songjiang Commune."
"There are too few children over there. If the armed forces department of Songjiang Commune handles it alone, the family quarters near the county town will have objections." Lu Shiyi explained vaguely. Besides, many people were jealous of the old people in Songjiang Commune.
Team members from other counties wanted to send their children to the Songjiang Commune Armed Forces Department, hoping to send their children there to train with Lu Shiyi.
Lu Shiyi single-handedly trained the Imperial Capital's divine sword. If the child can receive his training from an early age, his future journey will be smoother.
"Family members restrain their children, fearing they might say something wrong and bring disaster upon the entire family," Su Jin sighed as she lay in his arms. "The students I taught before were all very careful with their words."
"It will be fine in the future." Lu Shiyi stared at the dark night sky in a daze. Since he started working, he hardly had any leisure time. "By the time I get back, the farm should be cleaned up."
Lu Shiyi didn't want to clean up the team members himself. Almost all the members of the two teams were trained by him. They were divided into two groups according to their abilities.
He found that there was something wrong with the members of Group 2, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"You must feel bad. You have been training together for a long time, so you must have feelings for each other." Su Jin remembered that when Lu Shiyi got the exact news, he stood in front of the window all night, and finally, he chose to take action.
After Liu Chuchang took Hu Zhuang and Ning Shu away, Lu Shiyi was silent for a long time and smoked a whole pack of cigarettes in the office.
"It's definitely uncomfortable," Lu Shiyi said without pretending in front of Su Jin, "I'm in this position, so it's inevitable that I have to go through these things."
At this moment, Lu Shiyi wanted his team members to retire safely, and with the mediation of Wu Jun and Lin Zitao, Ning Shu and his wife could be assigned a better farm.
Lu Shiyi secretly asked someone to help take care of the three children of the Ning family. After they entered the village as educated youth, they tried hard to integrate into the village, making the villagers have a good impression of them.
"The three children of the Ning family are all smart. They know the position of the Ning family and do their duty after entering the village and go to work every day." When Lu Shiyi heard the news, he felt that the three children had grown up.
Seeing that Lu Shiyi had no intention of going back to sleep, Su Jin directly put Hanhan into the space and stayed with him outside with peace of mind.
Nearing 12 o'clock, Lu Shiyi's emotions finally calmed down, and the bad mood brought from the farm dissipated.
"Wife, is Hanhan awake?" Lu Shiyi immediately stood up and prepared to walk towards the room, but was grabbed by her.
"I left Hanhan in the room, waiting for you to find him. He had already cried himself to sleep." Su Jin complained helplessly, "Do you want me to drink with you?"
"Okay!" Lu Shiyi agreed.
