In order to deliver food to the county town, Lu Shiyi carried a large bamboo basket and put the items prepared by the canteen and Su Jin in it. He also put the food prepared for Lu Bairen in Su Jin's space first.
"Let's go home and eat bullfrog hotpot!" Su Jin smelled the aroma of beef and suddenly wanted to eat bullfrog hotpot.
Lu Shiyi nodded in agreement. After Su Jin became pregnant, he ate according to her taste. He had heard Wang Boya mention that pregnant women have unpredictable tastes, so whenever Su Jin wanted to eat something, it must be for the sake of the baby.
Lu Shiyi tied a thick little pillow to the back seat, hoping that Su Jin would sit comfortably.
He pushed the cart out of the yard. After Su Jin locked the door, she sat on the back seat, holding the clothes around his waist with her right hand and carrying an empty basket with a lid on her back.
The bicycles passed through the family compound, and the team members and their families greeted them when they saw them.
When the bike arrived at the gate, Lu Shiyi saw that there were still many stalls outside the gate. The family members went out to buy things and did not even glance at the stalls outside the yard.
Mao Sun's injuries have healed, but Mao Tou is still not awake. Wu Yinghua rushes to the hospital every day after get off work to look after the two children.
"Ayi, how is Maotou's condition? Isn't Conansheng in the military hospital?" Su Jin remembered that Conansheng was an expert and should be more interested in difficult and complicated diseases.
"Director Ke went for a follow-up visit. He personally nursed Mao Sun back to health within two years." Lu Shiyi complained as he cycled towards the county town, "He did a full-body checkup on Mao Tou, but the results showed he wasn't in good condition. Director Ke can't be sure if he's damaged his brain after he regains consciousness."
The cellar was once used to seal wine, and in the absence of alcohol, these spirits could serve as alcohol.
"Let's wait until Maotou wakes up." Su Jin muttered softly, "Ayi, I see someone else in the alley. Should we go to the post office first?"
Lu Shiyi slowed down his bike and looked towards the entrance of the alley in the distance. Team members with red armbands were entering and leaving the alley. Lu Shiyi felt nervous. The old people would leave in the next few days. Could it be today?
The people living nearby stood watching from a distance, some of them were talking about how another family in the alley had suffered disaster.
"It should have nothing to do with them. Let's wait until there are fewer people with red armbands." Lu Shiyi turned right and went to the post office at the city gate first.
The car stopped at the door of the post office, and Lu Shiyi took the bamboo basket full of things from her back.
"Hello, this is military mail." Lu Shiyi showed his officer ID. The staff took the woven bag for the mail and handed it to him. "Just seal it. No need to check it."
Lu Shiyi took the bag and turned to pack his things in the distance.
"Ayi, do we not need to check this? Let's send some more food to grandpa?" Su Jin would open the bag and check it every time he mailed something.
"I sent it via military mail using my work ID, and it's food, so there won't be any problems." Lu Shiyi put all the food that could be packed outside, and Su Jin wrapped chili sauce and a can of lard in a defective cloth and put them in.
"There must not be much oil at home." Su Jin thought that everything in the capital required tickets, and some things even depended on connections.
Lu Bairen has never used connections in his life, and he will not give up his principles now.
"I mailed too much last time, and my grandpa and dad kept nagging me about it for a long time." Lu Shiyi said helplessly in a low voice.
"Put it away quickly. These are edible, and we can't mail them often." Su Jin ordered.
Lu Shiyi continued to stuff things into the woven bag one by one, and he sealed the bag himself.
The staff asked him to register his address, weighed the goods and collected the money. Looking at the shipping fee of nearly 8 yuan, he prepared himself to be scolded.
After walking out of the post office, Lu Shiyi poked her forehead.
"If grandpa scolds me later, you have to explain to me." Lu Shiyi thought about coming back later to call home and ask the old man to lead the guards to the door to receive the package in person.
"Grandma will definitely stand by me." Su Jin had a very good relationship with Grandma Lu. Last time she sent food, Grandma Lu and her mother-in-law sent her a lot of clothes. "I haven't told Grandma about the pregnancy yet."
Uh uh uh!
Lu Shiyi smiled awkwardly, pushed the cart to deliver the food, and wondered how to start the conversation.
"Let's just tell our family. It's better than hearing the news from other people." Lu Shiyi was thankful that Xuefeng Mountain and the road were closed during this period, otherwise, the news would have quickly spread back to the imperial capital.
Lu Shiyi got on his bicycle and continued on his way with his wife on his back. When they were two blocks away from the alley, the red armband team members carried boxes of things away and Lu Shiyi felt relieved.
The alleys were completely cleaned out, and the old people's houses were all framed.
The bicycle entered the alley. The gates of the courtyards on both sides were closed, and some people opened a small gap to look outside.
"Grandpa Qiu, I'm Ayi." Lu Shiyi parked the car in front of a small shack at the innermost part and called in a low voice.
An old man with white hair came out and welcomed the two of them in.
Su Jin saw that the shack was very clean. An old lady looked a little unhappy. She smiled at them kindly, and a cough came out of her mouth.
"Grandma Qiu, this is the autumn pear paste I made myself. You can scoop a spoonful of it into your mouth every day when you drink water." Su Jin could tell that Grandma Qiu was coughing because she had a cold and hadn't taken medicine. If she didn't take good care of herself, it would leave a root cause of the disease. "When you get to your destination, write to me and Ayi, and I'll mail it to you."
Grandma Qiu wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Grandpa Qiu. If their son and grandson had not been martyrs, both of their lives would have been lost. How many of their childhood friends would have lost their families?
"Ayi, it's time for you to take a rest." Grandma Qiu said gratefully.
"Grandpa, grandma, you have to hold on until we get back. I promised Xiaoqiuzi that I would take care of you until the end of your life. We can't disobey him." Lu Shiyi looked at the two elderly people. Qiu Qiu died on the battlefield in the southwest. Lu Shiyi only wanted to take good care of the elderly. "After you pass away, the comrades over there will continue to take care of you. Be sure to write to me if you have any problems."
The old couple nodded and said, "You two young couples should live in harmony. If you have a quarrel, Ayi should give in to Xiaojin."
"Grandpa and grandma, you are going to be great-grandpa and great-grandma. When you come back, you can hug your great-grandchildren." Lu Shiyi said in a low voice.
The old couple's eyes lit up. Grandma Qiu opened the pillowcase and dug out two gold locks from it.
"I prepared this for the child Xiaoqiuzi at the beginning. Now I give it to you two. It is a blessing from us old couple to the child. Xiaoqiuzi is also his godfather." Grandma Qiu's eyes were red.
Lu Shiyi and Xiao Qiuzi and a few others became sworn brothers and promised that each other's children would be their godsons and goddaughters.
"Okay, we'll accept them. Grandpa and grandma will also come back to see the children." Lu Shiyi was not vague. Accepting the two gold locks would also give the old couple something to think about.
Lu Shiyi took out the grain bag from the bamboo basket and said, "This is the rations that everyone has collected. Xiaoqiuzi's subsidy is in it."
Grandpa Qiu nodded. "Don't stay here any longer. Ride away quickly. Once we're settled, we'll write to you. Don't ask about us, okay?"
"I know my limits." After Lu Shiyi gave the old couple some instructions, he led Su Jin away as a farewell to them.
