"Ayi, let's go together to see it off!" Su Jin thought that today was New Year's Day, and it would be more appropriate for the couple to go together to see it off.
After hearing what Su Jin said, Lu Shiyi hurried in and took out two military coats.
"You two go to the kitchen to help Aunt Yang cook, and stay for dinner." Lu Shiyi took the car from Zong Li. Su Jin put on his coat and left.
The young couple left the yard and went from house to house delivering meals to the elderly, chatting and laughing.
The old people had taken their lunch boxes from the cafeteria and were preparing to eat when they heard someone knocking on the door.
Lu Shiyi was holding a lunch box in his left hand and a bottle of medicinal wine in his right hand. The two old men had red eyes.
"It's snowing too heavily outside today, so we can't have a dinner together. I can only give you these as a snack." Lu Shiyi said happily.
The old man thanked Lu Shiyi happily and went back with the meat and wine.
After saying goodbye, Lu Shiyi took Su Jin with him to continue delivering food.
On this day, each of the elderly people received a portion of stewed meat and a bottle of medicinal wine prepared according to their physical condition.
After they delivered all the lunch boxes, they returned the car to the canteen, and he took her hand and went home together.
On the farm, lights were on in every household, and Lu Shiyi delivered the meat prepared by Su Jin to the team members on duty.
When the team members saw Lu Shiyi coming in, they hurriedly stood up to thank him.
Su Jin was busy all morning today. Not only did she prepare stew for everyone, but the young couple also prepared a sumptuous meal.
After lunch, the sun rose and many old men took a nap. Wu Yaozhong specially brought back some dates and walnuts from the northwest, hoping that Mr. Song could help.
"Yaozhong, take the walnuts and dates over there. Give some to Yunfeng and Sujin. Pangpang will stay here. I need to ask Yunfeng and Xiaojin for help." Wu Jun instructed his son. "Send these walnuts over and tell him directly about the situation in the northwest."
Wu Yaozhong nodded and packed some of the things he brought back separately. Huang Li also took a box of Cordyceps sinensis.
"Yaozhong, I heard the clinic needs some medicinal herbs. If that doesn't work, send some cordyceps," Huang Li asked Wu Yaozhong. "Even the old men here can use it. The medicine they make at the clinic is really better than what we have here."
"I heard from Mom that the medicines made by Sister Lu are even better. Let's order some from here when we get back." Huang Li is a doctor at Northwest Hospital. She's well aware of the drug shortages in the Northwest. Many doctors, for the sake of their patients there, resort to using personal connections to get medication.
"Okay, I heard from my dad that Su Jin is also a doctor with great medical skills." Huang Li listened to Wu Jun's words and thought about asking Su Jin for help. "The team members from the northwest are much thinner than those here. We only brought them here after repeated investigations."
"After the Spring Festival, you can hand over to the medical staff in the outpatient clinic. Those team members have some symptoms, and I want to tell Dr. Su in advance." Huang Li handed a note to Wu Yaozhong.
When leaving Northwest Hospital, the vice president wrote a note to her, saying that he would hand over the case to her.
Wu Yaozhong took the note and saw that it said he wanted to hand it over to Su Jin.
The outpatient clinic is managed by Wang Boya, but the information about Northwest is looked at by Su Jin. The vice president actually trusts a military wife instead of a doctor from a military hospital.
"I heard from my dad that Su Jin saved the vice president's life." Wu Yaozhong explained to his wife, "The vice president hopes Su Jin can help treat the team members."
After the couple had packed up, Wu Yaozhong held a large cloth bag in his right hand and handed Pangpang to his parents, and they left home directly.
According to Wu Jun's instructions, Wu Yaozhong went all the way to the place where Mr. Wei and Mr. Song lived together, and he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Wife, let's go in and give the gifts to the two elders, and then we'll talk about the situation in the northwest." Wu Yaozhong had just finished speaking when the door in front of him opened. "Mr. Song, I'm Wu Yaozhong. I'm here to see you on behalf of my father."
Mr. Song and Mr. Wei stood on the left and right sides of the door, staring outside.
"Wu Yaozhong?!" Old Song and Old Wei recognized Wu Jun's son and immediately looked at the couple in front of them in surprise.
"Mr. Song and Mr. Wei, we've sent someone back from the northwest," Wu Yaozhong informed them. "The drought in the northwest is even worse this year, and there's less food. Even basic food is hard to come by."
After hearing what Wu Yaozhong said, Mr. Song understood that he wanted a method to grow crops, but he had never been there, so there might be some deviations.
"I don't know the situation where you are. If I rashly tell you a solution, it may cause harm." Old Song refused Wu Yaozhong.
"Mr. Song, I have specially sorted out the situation over there. This is for you. I only hope that you can help alleviate the food problem in the environment." Wu Yaozhong handed over a thick file bag with both hands. It contained the conditions of the farmlands and ponds in the surrounding areas that he and the political commissar had personally investigated.
Mr. Song saw through Wu Yaozhong's intention. After taking the file bag, he opened it and looked at it with Mr. Wei.
The document lists very detailed information, including topography, even water source distribution, population density, and farmland reclamation conditions.
"The water source is supposedly the most difficult issue over there. Aside from this one drinkable source, are all the others highly salty?" Elder Wei asked Wu Yaozhong. "Also, can you explain to me how far this water source is from your farmland?"
Wu Yaozhong heard that Wei Lao was willing to help, so he immediately started talking. There were two farms near the military district’s family compound, and the farmland of the three places was connected.
"It's difficult to build a waterwheel here. According to the soil conditions recorded in your documents, a waterwheel probably wouldn't be able to withstand the strong wind and sand." Elder Wei informed Wu Yaozhong of the specific situation. "Can you see if you can build a dam to divert the water over here?"
