On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was not good. It started snowing at around 3 a.m. and did not stop until noon. Su Jin prepared the New Year's Eve dinner early.
Lu Shiyi was chopping wood in the corridor under the eaves, while the old people stayed in their respective rooms and gathered in the dining room next to the room for three meals. The team members also ate in the dining room. The old people and the team members gathered together to celebrate the New Year, and the atmosphere was more lively.
Before setting off, Wu Jun circulated the issued documents to each team member. The team members all knew that the elderly were the objects of protection and coming to the farm here was only for centralized protection.
"Wife, do you want to bring the fish as well?" Lu Shiyi asked Su Jin.
Lu Shiyi knocked on the glass in the living room. She opened the window and listened to Lu Shiyi's questions.
"Bring a fish head over here. We're going to eat chopped pepper fish head." Su Jin looked at Lu Shiyi and asked, "And bring the chopped pepper sauce and vermicelli from the main kitchen."
Lu Shiyi handed the chopped firewood to Su Jin through the window. After the young couple had collected the firewood, Lu Shiyi took the things she needed from the kitchen and brought them into the house.
"It's going to snow these days, so don't go out. I'll help you carry your things." Lu Shiyi was worried that the weather outside would be too cold in the first year after Su Jin gave birth. "Your body can't stand the cold."
"Ayi, I made some tofu balls in advance and froze them outside. You can bring some to the cafeteria later." Su Jin instructed Lu Shiyi, "I promised a few old men that I would let them eat tofu balls."
When Su Jin was making ointment for Lu Bairen, she also made some for several old men in the Lu family who had a very good relationship with her. When she gave the ointment to them, she asked them what they wanted to eat. One of them mentioned that he wanted to eat the tofu balls from the past.
In modern times, one of Su Jin's classmates was from the northwest. Her specialty was hand-made tofu balls, and she would make some and mail them to her every year.
"Grandpa called yesterday and said it was delicious!" Lu Shiyi praised.
It was snowing outside, and the villagers from the foot of the mountain could no longer come to the farm to cause trouble. Wu Gang's Yue family was driven away last time, but in fact, they had never given up coming to the door to ask for benefits.
Su Jin instructed Lu Shiyi to deliver the things to the old men so that they could have their own stock for the New Year.
"Lu Bu, the Wugang Yue family is here again, making a scene at the farm gate." Zong Li walked in from outside and shouted loudly from the doorway, "Several of my sisters-in-law's families are here. I heard they were contacted by the Guo family. They're taking advantage of the joint winter hunting of several villages to go into the mountains and cause trouble."
Lu Shiyi frowned and glanced at Su Jin: "Wife, you go with me. The Guo family is not easy to get along with."
Su Jin reached out and held his hand: "I'll accompany you. Aunt and Sister Yunfeng should also be there."
The two quickly went into the bedroom and changed their clothes. Hanhan slept in the crib, and Lu Shiyi called Zong Li in.
"Zong Li, your sister-in-law and I will go and deal with the Guo family's affairs. You stay here and look after Hanhan." Lu Shiyi glanced at the clock on the wall. According to Hanhan's schedule, he would not wake up for at least three hours.
Zong Li immediately stood up and agreed. Among the guards, everyone was discussing Hanhan.
"Chief, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Hanhan." Zong Li promised.
The young couple left home wearing their military coats and walked towards Wu Gang's yard. They found that many military wives had put down their work and were walking towards the home of Wu Gang and his wife.
"Mom, are you going to force me to death? You're making a fuss even on New Year's Eve!" Guo Fu was about to cry when Wu Gang hugged her in his arms.
"Don't cry in such cold weather. It would be terrible if your eyes got frozen." Wu Gang said, patting her on the back.
Guo Fu smiled bitterly: "I don't want to cry. What kind of thing did my parents do?"
Recently, family members have been talking to Guo Fu frequently, advising her not to interfere in her mother's family affairs anymore.
"A few days ago, they came to our house and we only asked for a guarantee from them. Who would have thought that the guarantee would only be valid for four days." Wu Gang handed the elders of the past few years to Lin Zitao, and the three chief officers circulated it.
Su Jin kept an eye on the account book and found that Guo Xiaoxu had sent 600 yuan to his family during the year.
"From the time Guo Xiaoxu got married to today, she has sent 613.3 to her parents' home. Every payment is recorded, and there are also the signatures and fingerprints of the two sons of the Guo family who borrowed the money." Lin Zitao handed the elder to the team leader and accountant of Guojia Village.
The accountant of Guojia Village took the account book and looked at it. He found the records one by one and started whispering to the village chief.
Wu Gang has done his best for the Yue family. He has contributed more than 600 yuan in just a few years. Fortunately, Wu Gang has always had a mission, otherwise, the young couple would not know how to live.
"You, the Guo family, are too cruel. You asked for and borrowed so much money, but in your mouth, it became that Xiaoxu didn't support his parents?" The face of the village chief of Guojia Village turned dark.
After the team members knew the details, no one dared to marry a girl of marriageable age in Guojia Village.
The team members gathered around were shocked. Wu Gang's allowance was considered high, but now he was being exploited by the Yue family.
Among the team members, there were two who were dating girls from Guojia Village. After this incident happened, they also came to listen to the news.
"Village chief, let's forget about what happened between Guo Li and me. I just met her once. Please tell her later that I don't want to see her again." The team member came out from the crowd and said.
"Please also tell Guo Yun that I am not going to get engaged. Although my home is far away from Northeast Province, I don't want to marry a bad wife." The two team members were introduced by the matchmaker of Guojia Village. Guo Li and Guo Yun and the team members wanted to see how many people in the village envied them.
The village chief looked at the two team members and said, "Guo Li and Guo Yun's parents are both open-minded, and their families are harmonious, unlike Xiao Xu's family."
