Ever since Gu Ziqiang and his wife left, we have been busy preparing supplies for them.
Father Zhang and Father Gu were assigned to take care of the five children, while Mother Gu and Gu Ranran began to make clothes. They first made cotton-padded jackets and sewed many patches on the surface of the jackets, making the clothes look very tattered.
Zhang's mother and Zhang Tiantian began to modify the quilt, sewing patches on the new quilt to make the bedding look tattered.
Then the four of them began knitting sweaters and sewing patches on them to make all their luggage suitable for their current status.
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai made dried meat, boiled eggs, steamed buns, and made pancakes in the kitchen. They also prepared egg cakes, White Rabbit milk candies, chocolate, white flour, rice, cornmeal, and bacon.
Zhang's father also went to the health center to get cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, alcohol, bandages and other emergency medicines.
After preparing supplies for a day, Lu Hai and Gu's father set off with the supplies at ten o'clock in the evening.
The Qingshan Brigade next door can be reached by passing through the deep mountains of the Songshan Brigade, which takes about an hour to walk.
Lu Hai and Gu's father went to the deep mountains, and Lu Hai took Gu's father to see their secret cave: "Dad, this cave is very secret, and it's deep in the mountains, so it's relatively safe. This is a secret base that my brother and I discovered when we were young. So far, no one else has been here.
Later, my brother and I slept, cooked, and smoked bacon in this cave, and nothing was lost over the years.
This cave isn't too far from Qingshan Brigade, about half an hour's walk. We can leave our supplies here, and they can come get them when they have time.
Brother and his friends are in a sensitive position now, so we can’t bring too many things with them. It’s hard for them to hide, and we won’t go to visit them often.”
"Lu Hai, I think it's okay. We can come here to put the supplies down once in a while. After we deliver the supplies to them, we'll bring Ziqiang here to identify this cave.
For Ziqiang and his father-in-law, it was easy to come to this cave to get supplies.
Lu Hai, let's go, deliver the supplies as soon as possible and go back soon. If we don't go back, Ranran and your mother won't be able to sleep well."
When Gu's father and Lu Hai arrived at Qingshan Brigade, it was quiet and everyone was asleep.
Fortunately, the cowshed was located at the foot of the mountain, a little far from the village. When Gu's father and Lu Hai approached the cowshed, they saw Gu Ziqiang waiting there.
Gu Ziqiang brought Lu Hai and Gu's father into the room, closed the door, and then lit the candle.
There was nothing in the room except a bed, and there was nothing on the bed.
Lu Hai quickly put the bundle on the ground: "Brother, sister-in-law, uncle and aunt, there are quilts and clothes prepared for you in here. Ranran and the others have sewed patches on them for your convenience."
Father Gu also put his bag on the ground and said, "This is the food we prepared for you, but since it's hard for you to hide it, I took less.
We've found a hidden cave in the mountains where we can store our supplies. Lu Hai and I will take Ziqiang to that spot later. We'll go there every weekend to store our supplies, and you can just pick them up later."
Gu Ziqiang opened the bag and saw the carefully prepared supplies: "Dad, Lu Hai, thank you for your hard work. You came to deliver things to us in the middle of the night."
"Brother, what are you talking about? We are a family, and we should not talk behind each other's backs."
