At exactly seven o'clock in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Lu finally finished their work and returned home. They were surprised to see the food on the table.
"Sister Yang, have you changed your taste today?" After washing his hands, Father Lu sat at the table with his wife and found that the table was full of Lu Shiyi's favorite dishes. "Now that Ayi is back, he's treated better than us."
Lu Bairen laughed out loud: "Xiao Jin specially made this meal, even the pork belly was bought by Xiao Jin and A Yi."
Mr. and Mrs. Lu found a plate of Dongpo pork in the middle of the table. This plate of meat was shocking enough. Since the situation outside became critical, the Lu family rarely had access to Dongpo pork.
"Xiao Jin, don't buy so many in the future." Father Lu said hurriedly, "How much do these tickets cost? I'll make up for it later."
"Dad, I have a childhood friend with whom I have a very good relationship. She is on secondment to the meat processing plant in the capital, so I just happened to tell her in advance." Su Jin and Lu Shiyi came up with an excuse in the kitchen, and it was worth saying what Lu Shiyi said.
"You're lucky to have a childhood friend like this, but you can't always ask others to do things for you. These days, it's hard for anyone to get a job." After hearing Su Jin's words, Father Lu urged Su Jin to be more considerate of others, "That way, our relationship will last."
Su Jinxiao's father Lu nodded obediently because he was considering her.
"Okay, Xiaojin also wants the elders to eat well." When Mother Lu heard Father Lu muttering, she immediately stood on the side of her daughter-in-law.
After hearing what Lu's mother said, Su Jin felt warm in his heart. His efforts were not in vain.
"Mom is right. If I can use my connections to make life easier for my family, I will definitely make good use of them." Su Jin looked at the elders and explained, "Ayi and I are away from home all year round, so we only have a limited amount of time to spend with Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom. When I come back, I just want to make the elders happy."
Lu Shiyi used the table as a cover and gave Su Jin a thumbs up.
She couldn't say these things because Lu Bairen and Lu's father would nag her. But Xiao Jin was different. Her starting point was to do what was good for the elders.
"Grandpa thanks Xiaojin so much. I've been craving Dongpo pork for a long time." After hearing Su Jin's words, Lu Bairen happily accepted Su Jin's kindness.
The family ate the food made by Su Jin, which tasted really good. Even Mr. Lu, who couldn't eat spicy food, ate a lot of chopped pepper fish.
"Xiao Jin, this chopped pepper fish is good. Can you give it to Sister Yang later?" Lu Bairen was eating the chopped pepper fish. If Xiao Jin could not be with him all the time, he would not want to let his adopted sister-in-law learn it.
"Old man, have you forgotten that we will go back with Ayi and come back before the Spring Festival?" Du Ruo immediately stopped Lu Bairen when she thought that they were going to the farm.
Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang will go with them, and only Father Lu and Mother Lu will be at home. The situation in the capital will become unstable starting from the next month, and the capital is the best choice for Lu Bairen and his wife.
"I forgot!" Lu Bairen immediately understood after his wife reminded him, "You should have reminded me in advance. We still have a lot of things to buy!"
After hearing the assurances from Lu Bairen and Du Ruo, Su Jin felt relieved. Before Lu Shiyi left Songjiang Commune, he had the fence separating the backyard removed. The yard where they lived was originally a house with six bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. Lu Shiyi used the excuse that there were few family members and only lived in this small yard.
Lu Bairen and Du Ruo led the staff back together, and Lu Shiyi asked people to clean up the yard. He couldn't let the elderly feel uncomfortable.
After dinner, everyone was full and sat happily on the sofa. Su Jin held Hanhan and fed him milk powder. Lu Bairen looked at Hanhan who was not crying or making a fuss, and sighed that Hanhan was really easy to take care of.
"Ayi was so noisy back then. Hanhan looks like Xiaojin." Du Ruo sighed. Su Jin looked over curiously. She happily recounted Lu Shiyi's embarrassing story, "Your grandfather had just returned from the war. Ayi was just one year old. I hadn't seen him for a year, and the first thing he did when he saw your grandfather was cry."
Lu Bairen glared at Lu Shiyi: "Whenever he sees me sleeping with my eyes closed, I start crying. It's like this every time."
Lu Shiyi spread his hands and shrugged: "I was still young at that time, how could I possibly remember these things."
The whole family looked at his embarrassed appearance with a smile. Lu Shiyi rubbed his brows. With a wife and a son, his status in the family became lower and lower.
Within a day, the news that Lu Shiyi had returned with his wife and children spread throughout the yard. He was a leader in the yard back then, and many people followed him. When everyone heard that he was back, they all wanted to find him.
The girls in the compound also have a bottom line. After the Lu family recognized Su Jin, they would not say anything more.
After dinner, Su Jin coaxed Hanhan to sleep. The two planned to stay at the old house today, so Lu Shiyi was sent out by Lu Bairen, who asked him to try his best to help Su Jin familiarize herself with the surrounding environment.
The family members were strolling in the yard. They saw Lu Shiyi looking at a girl with delicate looks. They heard rumors in the yard that Su Jin was an educated youth from Suzhou and Hangzhou and that both her parents had passed away.
Who knew that Su Jin's maternal grandparents were secretly working for the country. With Su Jin's current ability, Lu Shiyi really deserves to marry her. They always said that Su Jin married above her station in the Lu family, but those who spread the rumors were slapped in the face.
Lu Shiyi held Su Jin's hand and strolled under the tree-lined path. On the lighted court, teenage boys in the yard were playing basketball.
"Ayi, have you played basketball before?" Su Jin became curious. There were many facilities arranged for children in the courtyard. Su Jin felt that living here was a very happy thing.
Lu Shiyi nodded and said, "Several of my basketball buddies are now mostly in the Navy's hospital. When we go to the Southern Guangdong Military Region, I'll take you to see them."
"Shi Yi, is this your wife?" When the two were strolling in the small garden, an old man in his 70s with white hair appeared.
