The black market in the imperial capital is too complicated, and Mr. Liu doesn't want to get involved too much.
"Grandpa Liu, don't worry and wait for me to come back. I plan to let Achang accompany me to Beijing tomorrow. Xiaojin will be the translator, and we will go together. Achang and I will take turns driving. After returning to Beijing to submit the documents, I will meet with my parents and then come back." Lu Shiyi said to Old Liu truthfully, "Do you have any letters to send back?"
"No need. Let them stay here in peace." Old Liu ate his dinner. "I'm going back with Lao Xu tomorrow. I heard your political commissar is here?"
"Yes, we were originally planning to go back before the twelfth lunar month." Lu Shiyi picked up some food for Su Jin while Liu Chuchang sat over there eating. "I asked Zong Li to bring dinner to Uncle Xu. You can eat here with peace of mind."
Old Liu said happily: "Several old guys knew I was coming here, and they all said that I am enjoying myself here."
Many old comrades can only use their last breath to clean up the mess for their children at home.
He left the food coupons and other items in the imperial capital as a final look after the two families, and Liu Chuchang had a friend in Lu Shiyi, so his future was secure.
"Tomorrow, when you return to Beijing with Ayi, don't go back to the hospital. Just pretend you're going back on business." Old Liu warned Liu Chuchang, "When you return, keep your mouth shut and be on guard against anyone targeting Ayi and his wife."
"Grandpa, don't worry." Liu Chuchang assured.
After dinner, Lu Shiyi saw Mr. Liu and Liu Chuchang off, while Su Jin carried Hanhan into the bathroom, gave him a bath and changed him into pajamas.
She lay sideways on the bed, patting Hanhan's back and coaxing him softly.
Lu Shiyi pushed the door open and entered the bedroom. He listened to Su Jin singing a lullaby, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He stood by the bed, leaned over and kissed her cheek. Su Jin felt it when Lu Shiyi walked in.
"Wife, let's go out and talk!" Lu Shiyi stared at Hanhan's sleeping face, put his arm around her waist and left the bedroom.
Su Jin tucked the quilt for Hanhan and took him to the living room hand in hand.
"Ayi, are you ready?" They sat on the sofa, and she leaned on his shoulder. "We're going to the capital tomorrow. I wonder what will happen."
Su Jin felt uneasy after hearing what Lu Shiyi said, so she prepared to send Hanhan into the space and take him out after arriving in the imperial capital.
"Hanhan must be carried along with me. I don't want to leave him here." Lu Shiyi instructed Su Jin, "Pack Hanhan's things and we'll leave at 3 a.m.."
"Okay!" Su Jin glanced at the time. It was almost 9:30.
They packed their things and lay down on the bed side by side. Lu Shiyi slept on the far left. On the inside of the bed were the mother and son, who were most important to him.
Nearing 12 o'clock, there was a knock on the Lu family's door, and Lu Shiyi hurriedly got up to open the door.
Liu Chuchang stood at the door with a frustrated look on his face: "Ayi, I can't accompany you back to the capital today. You should take your sister-in-law there yourself."
Lu Shiyi raised his right eyebrow: "What happened again?"
"We've arrested another group of people. I have to stay here," Liu Chuchang said, feeling that the appearance of these people was strange. "How about waiting until I finish the interrogation and then we can go together?"
"No, the documents won't wait. Besides, I might not have such a good excuse next time. I just feel like something's wrong." Lu Shiyi noticed something was wrong. "Take good care of the old man here. If you hear any bad news from the capital, you must be extra cautious and don't act rashly."
Lu Shiyi explained carefully to him: "I have also handed Grandpa and Grandma over to you. You and the political commissar will go back to the farm to stay at night."
"Okay!" Liu Chuchang agreed. "I'll call Uncle Lu later and tell him I have something to send to the capital."
"Yes!" Lu Shiyi whispered to Liu Chuchang, "Don't go to the black market. There are several bags of food in the warehouse in your yard of the farm. Aunt Yang doesn't have time to cook, so you can make some porridge first."
"Ayi, thank you so much!" Liu Chuchang expressed his gratitude and turned to leave the Lu family.
After Lu Shiyi closed the door, he looked at Su Jin standing in the living room wearing a cotton coat, and he felt relaxed all over.
"Wife, let's pack up and leave now. Achang can't go to the imperial capital with us, so we'll go back as a family of three." Lu Shiyi said cheerfully, "Hanhan can be put directly into the space, and take some extra things and put them in the back as a cover."
"Where are Zong Li and Wang Yuan?" Su Jin reminded the two guards to follow him at all times.
"I'll arrange for the two of them to go back to the farm to accompany Grandpa and Grandma. Pack up your things and put Hanhan in the space. We don't have to worry about him on the way." Lu Shiyi planned to take Hanhan out after returning to the yard. "Teacher, didn't you tell me before? Do you want to see Hanhan?"
Su Jin nodded, packed up her things, and sent Hanhan into the space again.
Lu Shiyi opened the trunk and Lin Zitao opened the gate of his yard.
"Lao Lin, you go back to the farm with Achang today. Come here during the day and go back to sleep at night. I have a feeling something is going to happen. I will personally deliver the documents to Xiaojin." Lu Shiyi told Lin Zitao, "I will definitely return to the farm in three days."
"Okay, I'll send Yunfeng and the kids there as well. Be careful on your way back. There's no guarantee that this incident isn't targeting your sister-in-law." After seeing the documents translated by Su Jin, Lin Zitao admired Su Jin's ability.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Su Jin got into the car holding a quilt, while he carried the bamboo baskets and two bags one by one, and put the ribs directly into the car.
After everything was packed, Su Jin sat in the passenger seat, and Lu Shiyi started the jeep and left the family compound.
Su Jin put away the quilt, took a cup of strong coffee in her hand, and chatted with Lu Shiyi to prevent him from getting too sleepy.
"Wife, why don't you go in and sleep for a while? I'll call you out when we get closer to the imperial capital." Lu Shiyi was worried that Su Jin would be tired.
"No, I'll stay with you!" Su Jin fastened her seat belt and covered herself with a blanket. "If you're alone, someone will see you tomorrow morning."
Lu Shiyi held her hand tightly with his right hand. "Go back to the capital. Will you come with me to hand in the documents? Or should we go back to the courtyard first?"
"I'll go with you first. If we encounter danger, it's always better for us to face it together." Su Jin was worried about him being alone outside. Old Liu's nervous look made her feel uneasy.
As Lu Shiyi and his family of three left the family compound in a jeep, the imperial capital compound received a call. The teacher answered the phone and learned that someone was interfering, and he could only sigh.
"Have someone wait for them at the entrance of the imperial capital and make sure they are brought in unharmed." The instructor instructed the guard beside him.
"Commander, Tuan Lu was a bit rash. If something happens to Comrade Su, won't he regret it?" The guard frowned. Tuan Lu of the Excalibur Regiment was a fierce tiger in the army, but who would have thought that his wife was on par with him.
"It's actually safest for a family of three to come here. He drives a military jeep, which ordinary people wouldn't dare to touch." The instructor said with a smile, "Try to keep the farm as calm as possible. Lu Shiyi is doing a great job."
