Chapter 31: Moving by Car



At 6 o'clock in the morning, the slogans of the team members starting training were heard in the yard. Su Jin was also awakened by the sound. After changing clothes, she stood in front of the window and drank a cup of warm water.

Since Lu Shiyi came back, he would go to the yard from his study to train every morning without interruption.

Su Jin pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen. She picked a lot of vegetables from the kitchen storage room and started washing them on a coarse green porcelain plate.

I bought a lot of bowls and chopsticks yesterday, as well as a few porcelain basins for washing vegetables. The iron pots and clay pots for cooking are also ready.

After Lu Shiyi finished training, he returned with his partners, and the team members all looked towards their own kitchens.

"Captain Lu, you will have food to eat when you get home. I just saw my sister-in-law cooking from afar." Several captains looked at the smoke rising from the kitchen in Lu Shiyi's yard and complimented him.

"Now I understand your urgency. Every time after training, you just think about going home for dinner." Lu Shiyi joked with them.

When he first came to the armed forces department, Lu Shiyi didn't understand these things. Instead, he felt that these people always rushed home and left the tasks at hand to the team leaders below.

Lu Shiyi now handed the matter over to his two staff officers at the same time. After the training, he ran home to see Su Jin.

"Ayi, come and serve breakfast. Do we need to go to work after breakfast?" Su Jin heard the noise at the door and tilted her head to look outside from the kitchen door.

Lu Shiyi didn't have a holiday until the morning of New Year's Eve, and Su Jin wanted to take care of her three meals as much as possible.

"Xiao Jin, I'll drive back and move all my things over here. Do you want anything else?" Lu Shiyi thought about preparing some more things for Su Jin to keep her entertained. "Do you want to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books?"

"I want textbooks for junior high and high school, as well as a series of books on mathematics, physics and chemistry." Su Jin wants to study again so that he can take the college entrance examination and go to Beijing in the future.

Lu Shiyi looked at Su Jin: "Are you still thinking about going to college?"

"Of course, I want to go to college, Ayi. If things weren't so bad outside, I would be sitting in school right now." The original owner loved going to school. When she was in school, she always ranked first. "But I'm also very happy now. If I had to wait too long for the college entrance examination, I wouldn't have gone."

Lu Shiyi reached out and touched her little head: "I don't know how long it will take, Xiaojin, but I made a promise to you that if the college entrance examination is resumed before I turn 40, I will go to college with you."

Su Jin looked at him in surprise. At first she was worried that Lu Shiyi would say that she had waited too long and that she should focus all her attention on her family.

"I thought you wouldn't let me take the exam!" Su Jin had heard a lot about the wives of educated youth in the village. Neither the in-laws nor the husbands wanted their daughters-in-law to be too outstanding.

"No, I'll take the exam with you." Lu Shiyi was worried that the Lu family would persuade Su Jin to give up. If they were to take the college entrance examination together, the Lu family would probably not say anything. "I have junior high and high school textbooks in my study. The math, physics and chemistry series should also be sold at Xinhua Bookstore."

Lu Shiyi thought about buying books as soon as possible. The school was not too chaotic now, and many books could be bought.

"After we get our things home, let's go to Xinhua Bookstore and buy the textbook and two more books. We should be able to study faster with two sets of books." Su Jin hoped to have a set of books. "Do you still have your notes from school?"

"Of course I kept it. Ever since I graduated from high school, I have been thinking about the opportunity to graduate from military academy." Lu Shiyi went to military academy, but the situation changed, so he had to drop out of the academy.

Military academy became a hurdle in Lu Shiyi's heart. It would be great if he could have the chance to realize his dream.

"Ayi, can you lend me all your notes later?" Su Jin came back from the modern era. Although he was also an excellent student in science, his textbooks were still different from those here.

In the novel, many heroines think that the books here are simple, but she wants to learn them carefully and quickly to be more reliable.

Lu Shiyi took the steamed bun and handed it to her: "Eat first."

After breakfast, Lu Shiyi took Su Jin's hand and went to the office yard to drive. As the New Year was approaching, everyone still had to go to work. Minister Wu did not need the car to go out for a meeting, so he asked the guard to hand the car keys to Lu Shiyi.

It was Su Jin's first time riding in a military jeep. After the car drove out of the yard, she looked at the scenery outside the window curiously. It was different from riding a bicycle.

There are very few cars in the county town. Lu Shiyi and Su Jin drove all the way to the village. Many people stopped to look at the jeep.

The car turned from the road in the county town into the dirt road of the Fourth Brigade. Su Jin was shaken so much that her little face turned pale.

"Xiao Jin, we'll be home soon." Lu Shiyi was glad that his home was not far from the road to the village. He drove back to move so that she wouldn't be shaken for too long.

When the car entered the village, there were a few children playing with firecrackers outside. Some of the wealthier families bought these little toys for their children for the New Year.

"It's a car!" the children shouted loudly. Many people in the village heard the children's shouting and rushed out to watch the excitement.

Lu Shiyi parked the military jeep in front of the courtyard gate. He got out of the car wearing a neat training uniform, and Su Jin got out from the passenger seat.

The children gathered around the car, but Su Jin didn't pay much attention. Although the children in the village were curious, they would never do anything bad and destroy the car.

"You clean up inside, I'll start moving the kitchen stuff." Lu Shiyi noticed that the ingredients in the kitchen were all stored away, and the rice, flour, and oil were all sealed tightly, so no one could see how much was there. "Just leave the dishes at home?"

"Yes, bring the egg pan back!" When Su Jin came to the village, he specially asked the blacksmith to make a square egg pan for making omelets, which could be placed on the gas stove.

Lu Shiyi obediently started moving things. The children were busy for a while and then stood by to watch the car.

"Shi Yi, are you moving?" The villagers who came to watch the excitement found that Lu Shiyi came back in his training uniform and was carrying wooden boxes one by one.

"Xiao Jin has joined the army. We need to move our things at home there. We can come back to live here when we have time." Lu Shiyi said coldly.

The villagers didn't dare to talk to his face, as they were frightened by his imposing presence in his military uniform.

"Shi Yi, Su Zhiqing's household registration is still in the village. He will have to come back during the spring plowing season." The brave villager reminded Lu Shiyi, and Su Jin came out of the house carrying his own box.

The villagers looked at Su Jin and smiled awkwardly.

Many village women regretted that they did not catch the big fish Lu Shiyi, otherwise this four-wheeled cart would be parked in front of their homes.

"Shi Yi has made great progress. When my great grandfather came back, he also drove a car." The village women remembered that when Grandpa Lu came back to the village, they specially asked the kitchen staff to buy two pigs to eat.

Grandpa Lu wanted to improve the lives of the villagers at that time, and the villagers were kind, otherwise Grandpa Lu's family would have suffered.

"Grandpa is grateful to the village for coming back. I am moving, and the cars are borrowed from the army." Lu Shiyi didn't want to cause trouble for his grandfather, so he directly stated the source of the car.
