Lu Jiang and Lu Hai arrived at the cave on the mountain and put all their things into the staff space. They sat in the cave to rest, and Lu Jiang made a suggestion.
"Lu Hai, why don't we go hunting in the mountains? There's nothing to do sitting here, and we can't go down the mountain. Instead of sitting here anxiously, we might as well find something to do. If we have something to do, time will pass faster."
"Brother, sure. We haven't been to the mountains for a long time. There should be a lot of things in the mountains. Anyway, our staff space can keep things fresh and warm, so we can prepare more and store them.
The situation is dire right now. I feel like the black market is getting tighter and tighter, and there are more red armbands. I think going to the black market won't be as easy, and buying things there won't be as easy. There will be fewer people selling things there.
Fortunately, we have staff space, so we can store more things. Especially since Ranran and my sister-in-law are about to have children, we must store more things that can be used. I am worried that even if I have money in the future, I won’t be able to buy them. "
"Lu Hai, you're right. Tomorrow when we go to work, we'll start stockpiling some cloth, cotton, rice, flour, malted milk, milk powder, egg cakes, and White Rabbit candy..."
We should buy whatever we can use on the black market and store it. It doesn't matter if we two suffer, but we can't let our wife and children suffer."
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai headed towards the deep mountains, and they ate everything edible they saw.
We picked a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, but the main activity was hunting. We hunted 36 pheasants, 32 rabbits, 8 wild boars, 2 goats and 1 deer.
When Lu Jiang and Lu Hai got off work, they rushed home in a hurry, not knowing what was going on at home. They had been worried all afternoon.
When Lu Jiang and Lu Hai returned home, only Gu Ranran and Zhang Tiantian were knitting sweaters at home.
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran told them the situation, and they took the pheasant and mushrooms to cook.
When the captain and Zhang's mother came back, the feast for Lu Jiang and Lu Hai was already prepared.
I made pheasant stewed with mushrooms, twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, tomato and egg soup, and stir-fried wild vegetables.
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai filled the captain's glass with Maotai, and the captain finally felt relieved when he returned home. He raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's toast to celebrate that our family has overcome the crisis and gotten out of this big trouble."
Zhang Tiantian and the others, who don't drink, also raised their soda glasses and clinked them. The team leader took a sip of the wine before giving Zhang Tiantian some instructions.
"Tiantian, you can put away the things that Uncle Liu put in the cracks under the gate. Don't keep them in your home or on your body."
"Dad, how did you know that? Did Uncle Liu tell you?"
"Yes, at the Public Security Bureau, Uncle Liu confessed everything before the police even started questioning him.
I just said that I saw a fertilizer bag, opened it and found it was a banned book, so I burned it.
I didn't see anything else. Luckily, Mr. Liu put it outside the yard. I've always said I didn't see anything, and my family didn't notice it either.
The police also speculated that someone else saw it and took it. Didn't it rain last night? The police speculated that the newspaper got wet, and the contents leaked out, allowing someone to see and take it away.
It was a close call this time. We need to be more careful next time. Things have been very chaotic out there lately, and a lot of people are getting really upset.
Everyone should be more low-key in their work. The situation is becoming increasingly serious. Everyone should pay attention to safety. Don't have the intention to harm others, but always be on guard against others.
Especially Lu Jiang and Lu Hai, you two must be careful when working outside, be vigilant, and protect yourselves."
"Dad, don't worry. We've already told Uncle Li that we won't be traveling long distances recently. The farthest we'll go is to the county.
Lu Hai and I are in the sports car together, so we will take care of each other. We are always careful and remind each other.
Next time someone comes to our house, please be careful not to let anyone bring anything shameful into our house.
And our yard should also be inspected daily. Everyone should be vigilant and not allow anything shameful to appear in our home."
"Lu Jiang is right. There are more and more people wearing red armbands now. They are always searching people and will not let anyone off if they report something.
They were very active in their work. If they found anything out of place in the house, the family would be unable to escape. Regardless of whether the family was framed or not, they would be sent directly to the farm.
If Lu Jiang and Lu Hai hadn't discovered Uncle Liu's actions this time, our family would have been in trouble.
Uncle Liu and Mrs. Wang have been sent to the farm and are afraid they will never come back in this life.
Fortunately, Uncle Liu was smart and divided the family property in advance, so his sons were not implicated."
Zhang Tiantian looked at the frightened team leader and said, "Dad, why don't you just quit after this term as team leader? Although the team leader earns 420 work points a year, our family doesn't lack those points.
I'm grown up now and have my own salary, so I don't need you to exchange your work points for money.
Things are getting increasingly chaotic, and being a team leader isn't easy. You have the leadership above you, and the villagers below you. It seems like a difficult situation, and a thankless task.
You don’t have to be the team leader anymore, just go with your uncle to herd cattle and cut grass.
You're almost 50, there's no need to compete with others. Look at your uncle herding cattle every day, he's in great shape.
The situation is serious now, and safety is the most important thing. We have enough food at home, and all you need to do is be happy and not get bored every day."
"Tiantian, don't worry. Your uncle Wang and I have already discussed this today. After paying the public grain this year, it's our turn to change leadership in our brigade, and your uncle Wang and I are both ready to quit.
