After the National Day, Songjiang Commune was completely deserted. The amount of coal supplied to the county town was less this year. Lu Shiyi specially asked someone to bring six cars of coal, four of which were sent to Lu Bairen and Du Ruo, the two elders, and two were transported to their homes on the farm.
That morning, Su Jin went to work with Lu Shiyi. When the family of three arrived at the office, Su Jin sat at Lu Shiyi's desk and translated books.
Su Jin discussed with her superiors and decided to hand in all four books before the end of the year in exchange for Lu Bairen and Du Ruo's freedom to stay on the farm.
"Wife, can you finish translating?" Lu Shiyi called home yesterday. The father and son discussed the issue of whether the old couple should stay or go. "You insisted on calling yesterday. Dad and I were going to discuss it and find someone to keep the old couple."
"Dad and you looking for someone will at least owe someone a favor," Su Jin immediately objected. "I heard Dad say that the capital is too chaotic. I wanted to use this method to prevent Grandpa and Grandma from being wronged. The teacher personally agreed to it, so we don't have to owe anyone a favor."
Lu Shiyi sighed. The father and son were discussing something on the phone, but who knew that Su Jin heard it.
She quietly went to the living room and called the red-headed phone number in the teacher's office, and made a deal with the teacher. The teacher had someone deliver two more foreign language books early in the morning.
Su Jin took the two books, flipped through them briefly, and then took the translation paper from the other party.
It takes a full three months to translate four books, which is really a huge workload.
"Wife, you will be too busy in the next three months. Can your body bear it?" Lu Shiyi had already considered who to ask for intercession.
"Ayi, actually there are three books. I only have 10 pages left to translate for this one." There is a translator in Su Jin's space. The medical books are basically her previous reference books, and she can remember the general content.
"If you can't finish it, don't force yourself." Lu Shiyi was more worried about Su Jin's health, so he kept Hanhan by his side to take care of him.
"Ayi, please take good care of Hanhan. Starting today, I will accompany you to work every day!" Su Jin goes to work with Lu Shiyi and can also avoid trouble from his family members.
Every family member received letters from home, and many of them went to Lin Zitao to discuss borrowing grain. After Wu Jun, Lin Zitao and Lu Shiyi discussed it, they decided not to take grain from the granary. They held a meeting with the team members and told them that the granary only had enough grain before the spring plowing.
The team members told their families when they returned, and they began to think about whose family would be better off so that they could buy food for each other.
The food coupons distributed to the team members could not be exchanged for food. The supply and marketing cooperatives had daily purchase limits on food, and the logistics department also had daily rations for food.
Some family members wrote back to inform their families that they were also short of food, while others sent their food coupons back home.
Some family members did not dare to write back to their families, fearing that their families would make a fuss over food issues at the Armed Forces’ family compound.
"Old Lu!" Lin Zitao knocked on the door and came in, standing at the door calling Lu Shiyi.
Su Jin was translating books in Lu Shiyi's office. The Divine Sword Team surrounded Lu Shiyi's office. No one except Lu Shiyi could get close to Su Jin's desk.
Every afternoon after get off work, Su Jin would put the translated papers into the space. Outsiders thought that Su Jin only worked in the office and the members of the Divine Sword team would not follow him home.
Lu Shiyi put the water cup next to Su Jin's left hand, picked up Hanhan and went out.
"Let's go to the threshing ground. We have a meeting today, and my sister-in-law has a team of people protecting her." Lin Zitao waved his hand, and the members of the Divine Sword Team 1 and Team 2 all came.
Lu Shiyi nodded. In order to protect Su Jin's safety, Lu Shiyi basically handed over the work in his hands to Wu Jun and Lin Zitao. Unless it was an emergency, they would not come to him.
After Lu Shiyi gave Lin Zitao another worried reminder, he went to the threshing ground with him.
Su Jin was translating at the table when she heard the sound of someone prying the window behind her. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she put the books and translation papers into the space, moved a book on the office bookshelf, and soon the secret room in the office opened.
After Su Jin went in, the bookshelves separating the two sides closed.
Inside the secret room, Su Jin flashed directly into the space, turned on the computer and looked at the situation outside. A man in Excalibur training uniform pried open the window of the back door.
The man jumped directly into the office, walked to the desk and touched the water cup. The man walked around the office to see if there was any mechanism in the closed room.
"Why is he not here? The information clearly says that there is no secret room in the office." The man frowned and began to grope around.
Lu Shiyi came over from the direction of the threshing ground and looked at the team members surrounding the office. Zong Li walked quietly to him.
"Chief, isn't this too risky? My sister-in-law is still inside." Zong Li was worried about Su Jin's safety.
"Rush in in two minutes!" Lu Shiyi stood in a blind spot. "Also, dig out this guy's background."
Lu Shiyi believed in Su Jin. When Su Jin went to his office for the first time, he told Su Jin where the three secret rooms in the office were. When he left the office, as long as there was any noise outside, he would ask Su Jin to go into the secret room and wait.
"Yes!" Zong Li immediately went to investigate the other party's information.
Lu Shiyi glanced at the watch on his left and kicked open the office door.
When the man heard the sound, he froze in place.
"Grizzly, why are you here?" Team One was stunned. Grizzly mentioned having diarrhea, and the captain asked him to rest in the dormitory. "Where's your sister-in-law?"
The members of Team One looked at the man with cold eyes. They couldn't believe that any of their teammates would betray him.
"Did the Yan family ask you to come find Xiaojin?" Lu Shiyi asked coldly.
Grizzly looked frustrated. His family had been with the Yan family for many years. He was the youngest son, and with his older brother supporting him, he was able to freely choose his life.
Now, the Grizzli family is in a bad situation, so the Yan family comes to the Grizzli family hoping for help and promises to protect the Grizzli family.
"Lu Tuan..." Grizzly's eyes turned red. "I want my sister-in-law to translate one less book at the end of the year. She saved my family."
Grizz has been in Excalibur for many years and has long considered this place his home.
Lu Shiyi sighed: "Why don't you discuss it with us?"
The team members turned their backs, and Lu Shiyi twisted the bookshelf, preparing to find Su Jin out of the secret room.
A captain reached out and patted Grizzly Bear. After receiving a call from home, he went directly to discuss with the other two captains.
The three decided to keep it a secret from Lu Shiyi for now. When Su Jin followed Lu Shiyi out, all the members of the Divine Sword team were standing in the office.
Captain One and Captain Two talked about Grizzly Bear in public. Grizzly Bear told Lu Shiyi that there were spies from the Yan family on the farm, otherwise, the other party would not have mentioned whether there was a secret room in the office.
"Restore the situation. You all go stand outside, and my wife will follow me to the threshing ground." Lu Shiyi pondered for a moment, determined to ensure the safety of the farm. "Grizzly, just say you didn't find Xiao Jin. Also, call out all the Yan family's spies on the farm."
"Yes!" replied the Grizzly Bear.
