"I only whimpered twice when I got close to the bedroom, and I didn't even shed a tear." Su Jin looked at her son who was fast asleep again, and looked at Lu Shiyi helplessly, "Were you like this when you were a child? I loved making noise when I was a child."
In Su Jin's integrated memories, Su's father and mother mentioned Su Jin's childhood. Lu Shiyi looked helpless because the elders rarely talked about his childhood.
"Probably like me. Besides, it's good for boys to be more sensible." Lu Shiyi looked at his son. He always felt that this brat was a little shrew. He had several faces. Hanhan was different when facing Su Jin and when facing him.
"That brat knows how to judge people by their appearance. When we return to the capital, we will both be disliked by our elders." Lu Shiyi complained to his son.
Phew!
Su Jin put the seasoning into the cleaned porcelain bottle and started to cook dinner.
The beef was stewed in the electric stew pot. Lu Shiyi liked to eat beef and mutton. There was a farm in Su Jin's space where some cattle and sheep were raised freely.
"Ayi, let's stew beef with potatoes and stir-fry three vegetables." Su Jin stewed three pounds of beef. "Hurry up and pick some vegetables."
When Su Jin passed by the pond, she put all the vegetables into the pond. Lu Shiyi smiled, shook his head and started picking vegetables.
Because of the sabotage caused by the intruders, everyone started cooking later than usual. Family members instructed their husbands and older children to clean the house and then write down what to buy for the next day.
While the two were preparing dinner, Zong Li appeared in front of the yard gate and Lu Shiyi went to open the door.
After Zong Li relayed the order from above, Lu Shiyi didn't have time to ask Zong Li to stay for dinner before Zong Li ran away.
"Wife, starting tomorrow, Wu Jun will arrange for a car to take everyone into the city." Lu Shiyi knew that a truck would be delivering supplies into the mountains tonight, and Wu Jun planned to keep the driver overnight and take everyone to the county town early tomorrow morning. "Send them to the county town in the morning and back in the evening. I thought I'd let Wu Jun and Lao Lin go first tomorrow, and we'll go to the county town to buy the supplies the day after tomorrow."
"That's great. While I was in confinement, Wu and Political Commissar Lin helped you a lot." Su Jin had no good feelings towards those infiltrators. "We all need to survive the winter, and Wu's arrangements are correct."
The team members went home and informed their families of Wu Bu and Lu Shiyi's decision. The families were very happy, but some were worried about buying things. In order to survive the winter, many people had already spent all the money they had saved.
If the couple has a good relationship, they will directly inform the head of the household, and the team members will consider whether to apply for some bills and wait for them to be deducted from their allowances next month.
Several team members came out to find Lu Shiyi to inquire about the information. With Lu Shiyi's help, the application should be easy.
Lu Shiyi heard someone knocking on the door, walked out and saw three people standing outside.
"Bull Lu, all the money in the family has been spent. Can we advance the bills for next month?" The team members were helpless. Nowadays, every household is having a hard time.
"We've discussed this. You can go directly to the accountant and fill out an application form to borrow money and tickets. Starting next month, you can repay them monthly." Lu Shiyi looked at the three people and said, "Also, the trucks coming to deliver supplies can only stay for two days at most."
The team members hurriedly thanked Lu Shiyi and went to the accounting office according to Lu Shiyi's arrangements.
On the farm, the homes of Wu Jun, Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao suffered the most damage. Su Jin was too tired to move yesterday, so he decided to pack up and go to the county town today.
Su Jin came out of the house and heard several military wives arguing in the distance. She passed by the messy kitchen and her little face wrinkled.
She looked through the open door and saw several military wives rushing to the door and sitting on the ground crying.
Su Jin stepped forward and pushed Lu Shiyi into the yard.
"You go take care of Hanhan, I'll handle it." Su Jin looked at the military wives and asked, "Ladies, what happened?"
"Teacher Su, we have everything ready for the winter at home. Every household has been destroyed this time. How are we going to survive the winter?" Several sisters-in-law began to sob. "Teacher Su has the support of the Lu family and her parents' family. It shouldn't be a problem. We still have a family to take care of."
Seeing her sisters-in-law crying, she sighed heavily.
"Sisters-in-law, please get up from the ground first. Let's talk first, okay?" Su Jin said softly, "Sisters-in-law, please go home and talk. It's so cold outside. If you get sick, how can you celebrate the New Year?"
After listening to Su Jin's words, several sisters-in-law followed her into the living room. Lu Shiyi had already carried Hanhan into the bedroom.
They walked into the bedroom and found that there was only a dining table in the Lu family's living room, and the vases and other things that Su Jin had placed there before were gone.
"Almost everything in the house has been smashed, even the jars for pickled vegetables have been broken. We have to buy new vegetables for the winter and store up more sauerkraut." Su Jin looked at her sisters-in-law looking around the house and told them the details directly without hiding anything.
After hearing her words, several sisters-in-law secretly regretted that they should have waited until Datang knew the situation of the Lu family before coming.
"Teacher Su, we originally wanted to borrow some tickets from you. Our things at home were stolen, so we thought of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some..." The leading military wife said her thoughts directly, "We came here to see your family's situation, so we can only think of other ways."
Su Jin looked at them in surprise. "A few team members came over and mentioned this just now. Ayi said it's already been arranged. They can go to the accounting office and fill out an application form to borrow the money. They can start paying it back in installments next month."
After the words fell, several military wives were stunned. They wanted to come to Su Jin to borrow tickets, but forgot to ask their respective bosses to go to the unit to check.
"Teacher Su, are you telling the truth?" Several military wives thought it was no problem. They could pay it back during the Chinese New Year. They had enough supplies prepared for the Chinese New Year, and there was no need to buy anything because the mountain would be closed for one or two months after the New Year.
