The farce of the Fourth Battalion that had lasted for several days ended, and the members of the Second and Third Battalions no longer went there to make trouble. Lu Shiyi received the news the next day.
Su Jin sat at the desk, helping Lu Shiyi translate the documents signed at the border.
"The commander said that you can just translate it and show it to us. There's no need to take it all the way to the capital for translation." The political commissar came back from a meeting outside and handed a sealed information bag to Su Jin. "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. Let Old Lu stay with you for the next few days."
Lu Shiyi was supposed to go to a meeting, but Hanhan had vomiting and diarrhea the night before the meeting, so the political commissar had to go to the meeting instead.
"Okay!" Su Jin agreed, reached out to take the bag and returned to the study.
Lu Shiyi and the political commissar went outside. After they sat down, the political commissar's face turned bad.
"Fortunately, Hanhan is in the study, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to tell you directly." The political commissar looked at Lu Shiyi, "Promise me first not to shout after you hear it."
Lu Shiyi nodded and waited for the political commissar to speak with a serious expression.
It turned out that the news about the Second and Fourth Battalions had spread to other military regions, and many people said that it was caused by Lu Shiyi having too much stuff. If the food was divided equally, no one would make trouble.
"Bullshit!" Lu Shiyi cursed in a low voice. "To come up with such an extraordinary reason for asking for something is just a waste of brains."
The political commissar suggested that Hu Tou go to various places to collect grain, and asked him to stop for a while after the twelfth lunar month.
"It's best if there aren't any more large quantities of grain before next year's autumn harvest, otherwise... the higher-ups will definitely come forward to demand it!" The political commissar noticed that the people above them all looked unhappy. "I heard that many members of the Yan family were taken away, but they still left a backup plan."
Lu Shiyi stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow. "It must be because of food. The imperial capital is not peaceful. The Yan family has kept many people in the deep mountains of the southwest. Those people are his family's last trump card."
"So, the Yan family controls the black market just to keep those people captive?" the political commissar asked in surprise. "I've only heard rumors, but have you verified it?"
"The instructor sent Team 3 of the Divine Sword team out to provoke an incident. After verifying the situation, the instructor asked Team 3 to pass the message back in encrypted form. He must be thinking of dealing with these people." Lu Shiyi smiled bitterly. "We heard the news, but we couldn't take action. The situation over there was almost formed."
The southwest is the most important place on the border. There are a lot of dense forests there, and there are many Miao villages on the mountains. If those people join forces with the people in the Miao villages, the safety there will probably become a problem again.
"Not to mention we haven't even set out yet. We should have made arrangements to deal with it quickly." The political commissar reminded, "Our mission this time is to the southwest. If we didn't go there in advance, we'd have less information from there."
Lu Shiyi hummed, "Just pretend you don't know anything once you leave my house. Now that Achang has returned from the capital, I'll arrange for Lao Lin to escort Old Liu into the mountains first. When the time comes, you'll help Lao Lin deal with the investigation team for a few days."
"That's no problem!" the commissar assured immediately. "I haven't learned anything else in the past few years you've been on the farm, but I've learned how to handle my job."
After saying that, the political commissar left the Lu family and went to the office to discuss with Lin Zitao how to deal with the above matters.
Lu Shiyi pushed the door and entered the study, and found Su Jin staring blankly at the documents.
"Wife, if the document is difficult, I will ask the political commissar to send it to the imperial capital!" Lu Shiyi asked in a low voice.
"If I translate it, I guess you will have to keep it with you all the time!" Su Jin took out a confidential document that needed to be signed.
Lu Shiyi took a look and then looked at the note. The teacher wrote a note saying that he could decide after discussing it with him.
"Wife, you have to be available at any time from now on." Lu Shiyi once protected special translators, and they signed this confidentiality agreement.
As family members and children of special translators, they have the highest level.
As the person in charge of Excalibur, Lu Shiyi's family and children received the same level of protection. The Prime Minister once joked that he and his wife had saved a team of protection personnel.
"The same thing happened with the previous book. I'm signing this confidentiality agreement now." Su Jin took out a signed agreement from the drawer. "Ayi, I signed it without telling you before, but now I can show it to you."
"Wife, our family has an extra layer of security, and the time I spend with you will increase." Lu Shiyi understood why the decision to cancel their team's mission was made in order to protect the elderly and Su Jin.
Su Jin picked up the pen and signed the agreement directly, then took the translation paper beside her and began to translate the document.
Lu Shiyi took a book on weapons and began to look at the annotations on it. These books were all improved drawings that Su Jin had found based on the current weapons.
"Wife, these drawings need to be modified. I will carry Hanhan to the armory tomorrow." Lu Shiyi was ready to start the actual operation. If the weapons could be improved and upgraded, it would be a good thing for the current border.
"Ayi, you drew the blueprints, and you have practical experience. Plus, you've read the books I translated." Su Jin had reported to the instructor that he would always let Lu Shiyi read military books, making him the first reader, to prevent common sense errors in the books.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Lu Shiyi knew all these things. She asked him to draw the renovation drawings in the space and wrote a detailed renovation plan next to it.
No matter who looked at it, the drawings were all the work of Lu Shiyi. He needed this military achievement to be remembered by his superiors. When the situation outside improved, Lu Shiyi would be remembered by his superiors.
"Whether you are in the field army or in the weapons unit in the rear, you can play a role." Lu Shiyi is getting older, and the injuries he suffered in his youth have reappeared.
Su Jin had been helping him recuperate over the past few years, but Lu Shiyi knew the seriousness of the situation. His physical strength could not be compared with the fighting power of Zong Li and the others who were in their early 20s.
"Ayi, when you go back, talk to grandpa and ask dad to send some more meat. The weather has been very cold along the way, so it should be able to be preserved." Su Jin thought of the meat in the yard. Those were the meat she took out from the space.
"Send a leg of lamb, half a rack of pork ribs, and a pork thigh." Lu Shiyi figured that if Lu's mother was going to her parents' home, sending meat would be the most practical thing to do.
Every village in the neighboring county slaughters pigs for the New Year in order to save money. If you want to buy the meat, it will cost about 100 yuan.
"My salary is enough. Just say you took a month's salary to buy meat." Su Jin immediately laughed. "Also, send a bag of rice. Let's not send too much, just 20 kilograms. Let's see where we can send it to the best place."
There are eyes everywhere in the compound. If you are not careful, you will be reported. It is better to eat in silence.
"I remember Grandpa has a house in the capital. I'll call Dad and tell him directly." Lu Shiyi and Su Jin said, "After I get the package, I'll ask Dad to drive back."
"Use the home phone to call Dad. The people above are listening to the phone at home. Let them know in public. My salary is higher than yours. I can't go back to the capital for the New Year this year. I'd better send some gifts to show my filial piety!" Su Jin pointed to the phone outside the door.
