Before dawn, Su Jin stretched. Lu Shiyi went out for training, and Su Jin went to the small kitchen to cook.
Su Jin was translating in the bedroom while Lu Shiyi was reading a book nearby. They both went into the space before going to sleep at night, so the time was adjusted a little faster, which did not have much impact on Hanhan.
Lu Shiyi kissed her and went out directly. When she came out, she adjusted the time in the space to be the same inside and outside, and stuffed a pillow on the warm kang.
Su Jin took the things to the kitchen at the west end of the house. She was cooking porridge on the stove and steaming ten multi-grain buns on top.
On the cooking table, Su Jin was mixing the vegetables skillfully, while Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang were boiling water in the kitchen at the back. The three old people started to get ready.
"Xiao Jin is preparing breakfast. You can help Xiao Jin make steamed buns tomorrow afternoon." Uncle Yang heard Lu Shiyi mention that Su Jin would make a lot of multi-grain steamed buns tomorrow afternoon.
There is a lot of rice at home, but the three old people prefer to eat noodles and are not so keen on rice.
Ever since the three old men came, Su Jin changed his eating habits and started eating steamed buns and drinking porridge.
"Xiao Jin is from the south. I heard from Ayi that she used to eat rice more often." Aunt Yang looked at her husband and said, "No, let's prepare three meals in the back. Xiao Jin is busy with work."
"No need. Give Ayi and Xiaojin a chance. When the situation improves and we return to the imperial capital, the young couple will definitely not have time to take care of them." Uncle Yang and Lu Shiyi had discussed that when they returned to the imperial capital, they would let them worry more.
Su Jin made breakfast, hurriedly boiled water, and prepared warm honey water for the six people behind her.
Lu Bairen and the elders brought Uncle Yang and Uncle Liu in first. As soon as the four of them walked into the living room, Su Jin gave each of them a cup of warm honey water.
"Grandpa, elders, Hanhan hasn't woken up yet. You two, Uncle Yang, and Uncle Liu should drink some honey water to warm your stomachs first. Grandma and Aunt Yang will also need some when they come." Su Jin said, choking back the words that were about to come out of the four people's mouths. "To live here in old age, you need to follow our customs."
Yesterday, Lu Shiyi made a list of things that had to be done every day, copied two copies and gave them to the two old men.
The two old men looked at the rules one by one, many of which were for their health.
The young couple always talks about the rules, and they both know in their hearts that the young couple is doing it for their own good.
I have been very busy these years and my family doctor has mentioned it many times, but I just don't have the time to stop.
If the mountains hadn't been blocked by heavy snow, the elders would have had even more documents in their hands.
"Xiao Jin, we will listen to you! If there is not enough food, you must tell us." Before the snow fell, the elder specially arranged for someone to send a batch of food over.
"Elders, there are a lot of food prepared in the cafeteria. We will definitely not let you go hungry." Su Jin chatted with the two old men, while Uncle Yang and Uncle Liu went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
After breakfast was served, Du Ruo brought Aunt Yang over, also holding a bowl of cabbage vermicelli in her hand.
Lu Shiyi came in from outside and looked at the breakfast on the table with a smile.
"Grandpa, Elder, since you three are here, even the breakfast is quite rich. If I were alone at home, I would probably have multi-grain steamed buns, pickles, and porridge." After washing his hands, Lu Shiyi sat next to Su Jin. "The cafeteria has also prepared a lot of food."
While eating, the elder asked Lu Shiyi about the granary on the farm, and Lu Shiyi did not hide anything.
The armed forces department had too few supplies to distribute, so each location had to prepare its own logistics. Lu Shiyi led the team members into the mountains to hunt, and this had been approved by the higher-ups.
There are abundant prey and supplies in the deep forests behind the mountains, which are exchanged with other military regions for supplies.
"Military regions exchange supplies with each other?" The elder was a little surprised when he heard this. Lu Shiyi told the elder what each military region produced, then stood up and walked to the desk by the window and took out a piece of paper from the box.
"The things I exchanged this time are available in every place." Lu Shiyi handed it to the elder.
The elder looked at the list in his hand and smiled. Most of the things on the list were obtained by the team members through training. Not only was there time for physical exercise, but some were food supplements. It said to drink honey water, drink less tea, and also drink some health-preserving tea.
Su Jin specially bought a small kettle and adjusted the health-preserving tea that the old men and women drank every day according to their physical conditions.
The tea is basically flower tea or medicinal tea. After drinking it, the elderly people's qi and blood improved a lot and their faces became rosy.
"Xiao Jin, I won't drink the tea. This tea is for your grandpa." The old man had a bad trachea, so Su Jin specially bought some Tibetan mulberry and wolfberry and made tea for the old men to drink every day.
"Elder, soaking mulberry fungus and wolfberry in water is specifically for moistening the lungs." Su Jin looked at the elder. Wang Boya found the elder's medical records from the general hospital in the imperial capital. The elder had small nodules in his lymph nodes and lungs.
If you drink water soaked with mulberry fungus and wolfberry for a long time, you will have fewer nodules on your body.
"Okay." After hearing Su Jin's words, the elder had no choice but to follow the arrangement.
Almost all the elderly people on the farm drink medicinal tea, and the outpatient clinic provides different teas to each person according to their physical condition.
"Grandpa, you should drink with grandpa. The snow is getting heavier outside now. If you keep walking in the farmyard, I'm afraid you'll get hurt." Su Jin told the two, "Grandma's hands and feet are cold in winter. You can't stay out in the cold all the time."
Su Jin prepared some frostbite ointment for Du Ruo and asked her to soak her feet in onion and ginger water every day.
Su Jin learned these from the Internet, and they are definitely good for the body.
"Wife, I'm back!" Lu Shiyi came in from outside, and the two old men looked at Lu Shiyi.
"Come back early today and have breakfast together!" Lu Bairen said happily.
Lu Shiyi led the team into the mountains. Several villages deep in the back mountains were cleared out. Many villagers stayed in their respective villages. They were all ordinary people in the clan. The money and tickets taken by the elders and the village chief would not be distributed to these villagers.
"Ayi, how are the conditions in those villages?" Lu Bairen asked. "Have they re-elected new village chiefs?"
"Everything was arranged for several villages that night. The villagers elected a village chief and asked him to sign a confidentiality agreement with the military district, just to allow the armed forces to protect the village." Lu Shiyi informed Lu Bairen.
Every time the team members went to the village entrance for patrol, the villagers would boil hot water and wait for them.
Doing this every day made the team members feel at ease. They would bring water from the farm to avoid poisoning, so they had to keep the water bottle warm in their arms.
"Ayi, you should pay more attention to the situation in the village. There should be spies in the village." The elders always felt that things were going too smoothly. Most of the people hiding in the border areas were caught.
"Elder, I will always pay attention and will never let chaos here again." After Lu Shiyi led his men to capture those people, he found that there were people behind them after interrogation.
