After the food was distributed, the families hoped that the logistics department could get more food again. Shitou and his companions basically exchanged for fine grains. In order to exchange for more coarse grains, they drove around to exchange.
After being comforted by Wu Jun and Lin Zitao, the family members no longer asked about it every day.
After breakfast, Hanhan sat in the walker, holding Lu Shiyi's hand with his left hand and walked towards the office step by step.
The team members saw the father and son walking on the farm. Hanhan's swaying walk made everyone look at the little guy with a smile.
"Hanhan, you're so young and already working for the Lu Department?" The team members joked with Hanhan.
Hanhan was shouting "Ahhh". He used reduplicated words at home but didn't say much outside.
"Xiao Jin and I both have to work, so we have to keep Hanhan under our watchful eyes," Lu Shiyi explained. "Hanhan is too naughty, and neither Zong Li nor Wang Yuan can keep an eye on him."
When the team members heard Lu Shiyi's complaints, they all burst into laughter.
"Minister Lu, my son is just as naughty. You'll have a headache in the future." Qi Lin's son is also naughty. Qi Lin's wife has to look after him every day. "He's only four years old this year. My wife and I are almost dying of headaches. The situation outside is not good now, so we can't send him to kindergarten."
"Let me keep an eye on Hanhan first. Xiaojin is translating in the office, and Hanhan is playing and yelling over there, which is a bit disturbing." Lu Shiyi reached out and pulled his son, looking at the players in training uniforms, "You shouldn't be training, why are you here?"
"Commander Lu, we were patrolling the mountains last night and are on duty today." Qi Lin told Lu Shiyi, "My wife is at home taking care of our son and can hardly go out. I'll rest a little longer outside and then go back to take care of the child after I get a good night's sleep."
"My wife has things to do, isn't it right for a father to take care of the children?" Lu Shiyi stood up straight and patted Qi Lin's shoulder with his right hand. "It would be great if it could lighten the burden on my wife."
Many team members went home to rest, and their families not only had to busy themselves with housework, but also had to take care of the children.
"Bull Lu, are you going back to do your housework?" Qi Lin and the team members looked at Lu Shiyi.
"Yes," Lu Shiyi answered firmly, "Xiao Jin is sometimes busy with work, so I am busy cooking for the family."
The team members were surprised and asked, "Bull Lu, is the food you cooked edible?"
"Aren't you going to cook when you get home?" Lu Shiyi said with his hands on his hips. "Doing housework every day is tiring, and the kids at home are making a fuss."
The team members listened to Lu Shiyi and considered the situation of each family.
"Captain Lu, let's go home first." The team members led by Qi Lin returned their weapons and went home to help.
The father and son stood there looking at the backs of the team members. Lu Shiyi just wanted to help Su Jin.
"Ayi, why are you taking Hanhan around everywhere?" Su Jin saw that the father and son had not returned yet, so he packed up his things and went out to look for them.
Lu Shiyi put his arm around her waist and talked to her about Qi Lin and the others.
"Hmph!" Su Jin crossed her arms. "If I leave the child to my wife to teach, if she teaches well, it's because she's smart. If she doesn't, it's because my wife didn't try hard enough to discipline her child."
Lu Shiyi chuckled: "Qi Lin and the others asked me if I could cook? Of course I said I would help cook."
"For the team members surviving in the wild, cooking is the most basic requirement, but they do nothing when they get home," Su Jin complained.
"Wife, I'll have Lao Lin warn the team members," Lu Shiyi also wanted to take the opportunity to change the team members' habits. "It should be better if the couple helps each other."
After returning home, the members of Qi Lin's team helped their wives with housework for the first time. Their families were all shocked and asked the team members whether they would go on a mission the next day.
"Old Qi, are you preparing for a dangerous mission?" Qi Lin's wife stared at Qi Lin while holding the child.
"No mission!" Qi Lin reached out and picked up his son. "My cooking is not good. You cook and I'll help take care of the children."
Qi Lin's wife stood at the kitchen door, staring blankly at the backs of the father and son as they left.
"Old Qi, we bought a lot of food today. I didn't replace all of it with coarse grains, so I prepared 100 kilograms of fine grains for Xiaoxu," Qi Lin's wife explained the situation at home. "I don't know where the logistics department will get the food from. No matter how much coarse grain we have, it won't be enough for the family members."
Most of the families on the farm have teenage boys. They eat enough, and 300 kilograms of grain is not enough to last until the autumn harvest. If all the grains are replaced with coarse grains, it will be enough food for several people in the family.
The changes in this small team of members were enough to shock their families. After learning about Lu Shiyi's persuasion, they no longer envied Su Jin.
A small change made by the team members made the family more harmonious.
The farm was in harmony because of the food rations, but several villages at the foot of the mountain became turbulent. The marriages of children of marriageable age were different. The betrothal gifts were getting higher and higher, while the dowries were getting smaller and smaller.
Lu Boyuan finally couldn't withstand the pressure and went into the mountains to seek help.
The members of the Pigeon Committee looked at Lu Boyuan and decided to go in and tell Lu Shiyi that the farm could buy food recently, and the members who were guarding the farm had benefited from it, so they agreed to keep it secret.
"Minister Lu, Captain Four is here and he looks like he's in a very bad mood." A member of the Pigeon Committee reported in a low voice.
Su Jin is making the most of her time to translate books, while Lu Bairen and Du Ruo take on the responsibility of taking care of Hanhan during the day.
"Ayi, my eldest sister mentioned that some families in the village have run out of food, and the amount of relief food has decreased. They usually don't dare to eat too much, for fear that outsiders will notice the problem." Su Jin patted his head, remembering what Wang Dahong had mentioned. "My family exchanged food for three people, and they didn't dare to use it to eat their fill."
Lu Shiyi glanced at her and said, "You've been translating for quite a while. Let's go for a walk together."
