In the evening, Lu Shiyi was walking home with Hanhan in his arms. He deliberately went around the cafeteria. When the family members saw Lu Shiyi holding his son, they came forward to greet him.
"Xiao Jin has things to do. I'm in the office these days, so bringing Hanhan to the office won't interfere with my work." Lu Shiyi said truthfully, "I won't bother other sisters-in-law to help me look after the children. This year is too difficult. Even the children are at home helping to grow vegetables."
The children in the family compound are particularly well-behaved this year. Lin Lei and Lin Yan have said many times that their friends are growing vegetables at home, hoping to have something to eat at home during the winter.
"Minister Lu, the head of the family should be more considerate of you. We are the ones taking care of the children at home!" The family members echoed, "Don't leave Hanhan alone. Go home quickly."
Many family members knew that there were gossips about Su Jin circulating in the hospital. The most serious thing was that she didn't care about Hanhan and took her son out for a walk every day.
Although they didn't spend much time with Su Jin, Su Jin had taught their own children in junior high school. How could someone who could take good care of other people's children not love his own children?
Those gossips were just spread by gossipers, and the rest of the people didn't pay any attention to them.
"Sister-in-law, you should hurry up and buy some food. I heard from Xiao Jin that the food supply in the county has become more sufficient these days. Don't forget to hurry up and buy some." Lu Shiyi secretly arranged for Hu Tou to deliver the food, and Su Jin increased the amount of food. The black market became lively again.
They can only control Songjiang Commune, and have no control over other places.
"Really?!" The family members' eyes lit up. "If we can buy more food, we must thank Teacher Su very much. No one has too much food."
The family members knew that Lu Shiyi arranged for the veterans to help transport food, and that Su Jin bought those supplies, and all of this benefited Lu Shiyi.
When Lu Shiyi returned home, he saw Su Jin busy cooking in the small kitchen. He changed Hanhan into pajamas for him to wear at home, put him in the walker, and quickly walked into the small kitchen.
"Wife, I'm back. As you said, I told everyone about the food on the black market!" Lu Shiyi pinched Su Jin's face. "I saw that my sisters-in-law didn't believe the gossip, so I arranged for Falcon to secretly investigate where this rumor came from."
Su Jin didn't care what others said. In the current environment, a bad reputation of her family would affect her husband's promotion. Even though Lu Shiyi had been promoted to the top of the armed forces, he had real military merits here in the border area.
"Ayi, I went to the city today and found someone watching the black market. Should I arrange for Hutou to hide for now?" Su Jin was worried that Hutou had sold too many things this time and someone might be tempted. "According to the agreement between the military region and the Pigeon Committee, even if the sisters-in-law go to buy things, the Pigeon Committee will not take action for the time being."
Peng Sanjin has always been in control of the Pigeon Committee. If there is any sign of trouble, Peng Sanjin will first inform the military region.
"I've been keeping an eye on the black market these days. Hu Tou is in southern Guangdong recently. He has delivered things to my second and third uncles. There is an even greater shortage of food there." Lu Shiyi was in a dilemma. As the weather got colder, Hu Tou would no longer come here. The food in southern Guangdong would only last until the spring plowing season.
"Second uncle called and told you to stay put and not worry about the situation over there!" Su Jin pointed at the phone. "He asked vaguely about Hanhan and said this in between."
Lu Shiyi rubbed his eyebrows, wondering how to call his second uncle.
"After dinner, why don't we call Second Uncle and tell him that Grandpa asked us to buy the food!" Su Jin thought about it and suggested using Lu Bairen's name. "Call Second Uncle and Third Uncle."
The two of them can favor one over the other, as both uncles are serving in the same place, although in different branches of the military.
Because Su Jin is the second elder and has worked hard to complete the task, the teacher cares more about the Lu family and will try his best to protect them.
"Xiao Jin, doing this has already given the Lu family a lot of face." Lu Shiyi reached out and pinched Su Jin's small hand. "Second uncle and third uncle said this, it must be because the situation in the family compound is not good. I asked Hutou to send food every month..."
"You are good at hunting, but you are still wrong to save food from your own mouth and give it to your elders?" Su Jin didn't understand his current train of thought.
The young couple was talking while Hanhan was walking back and forth in the living room. All the dangerous items had been cleared away by them in advance.
Hanhan was lying on the sofa flipping through children's books. Those were all written by Su Jin herself, with rows of Chinese pinyin and Chinese characters on them.
Every night, Lu Shiyi and Su Jin accompanied Hanhan to study together. Lu Shiyi handled documents while Su Jin translated books.
In such an atmosphere, Hanhan slowly began to learn. He still likes to use reduplication in his speech, but he likes to read children's books.
Every two days they would play games with Hanhan and teach him how to count through the games.
In the space, the nanny was teaching Hanhan early childhood education, and Su Jin just had to do the nanny's tasks.
Su Jin once told her teacher that in addition to translating, she also had to look after her own son, and it was inevitable that she would teach Han a lot of words while working.
The teacher agreed to allow Hanhan to learn English so that Su Jin could translate documents with greater peace of mind, and everything was given the green light.
As the four books were delivered, the superiors valued Su Jin even more. Taking advantage of Liu Chuchang's return, they directly brought six books over.
The teacher took advantage of his free time to call Su Jin. After some bargaining between the old and the young, Su Jin agreed to translate one book and have someone send one back to the capital, as the task for next year was too heavy.
"Ayi, I have six books this time. I read one of them which is a book on military industry. Do you want to read it in advance?" Su Jin wanted Lu Shiyi to have a wider career in the military, as these are what will be needed in future wars.
