Seeing the pile of big unity and various bills on the table, Yuan Sufeng and the other two were also stunned. He Hongxiu was stunned, "Sister, you have so many bills?"
Feng Yingchun picked at it and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's okay to have money, but there are too many tickets. There are at least 300 kilograms of food tickets, and there are also sugar tickets, cloth tickets, soap tickets and so on."
She looked up at Jiang Yan and asked, "Is this all the money you earned as a translator?"
Jiang Yan nodded, looked at Yuan Sufeng and apologized, "Sister-in-law, these are the food tickets I can take out at the moment. You know that men in the army have big appetites. I have to reserve enough food tickets for my Lu Yunsheng. I don't want him to starve."
"Thank you, thank you two sisters-in-law, thank you sister."
Seeing the money on the table, Yuan Sufeng couldn't stop crying again. She had been worried these days and exchanged all the money in the house for food.
But the Wu and Yuan families have dozens of people in total, big and small, and the bills they have are simply not enough.
Yuan Sufeng even wanted to take the risk of going to the black market to exchange food or bills, but she didn't dare to go when she thought of Wu Jinchao's future.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. We are all military dependents of the same regiment. It is our duty to help when encountering such a situation."
Jiang Yan wiped Yuan Sufeng's tears with a handkerchief and continued, "When I first came to the family compound, sister-in-law Hongxiu said that we military families should be united and friendly. Later, the sisters-in-law always took care of me. Although I don't go out often, the sisters-in-law always think of me when there are good things. I remember them all."
He Hongxiu hugged Yuan Sufeng and comforted her, "Don't cry. With your money, our family should be able to survive this winter."
"Um."
Yuan Sufeng sniffed, wiped her tears, took the food coupons on the table, and returned the money to each family.
"Thank you, everyone. Lao Wu and I have saved some money over the years, but we couldn't find that many food coupons at the moment. These food coupons are enough."
"Sister-in-law, should we prepare a little more? What if it's not enough?"
The food coupons on the table added up to more than four hundred to five hundred kilograms, which seemed like a lot, but there were more than thirty people in the two families, and on average each person only had a dozen kilograms of food, which was not enough to survive the winter.
Yuan Sufeng shook her head. "With such a big flood, the government should find a way to transfer food. And if we give too much, people will inevitably worry about us. As long as we can survive the winter, that's all."
After hearing what Yuan Sufeng said, Jiang Yan felt relieved.
Seeing that the problem was solved, He Hongxiu said, "If something like this happens again, be sure to tell us. Captain Wu has been away on a mission these days, and it must be hard for you to bear it all by yourself."
"I remember that. Thank you, sister-in-law."
Yuan Sufeng nodded while crying, and she felt closer to Jiang Yan and the other two. As the old saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.
Jiang Yan looked at Xiao Yueyue who had been sitting quietly beside her and silently shedding tears, then picked her up and wiped her little face.
"Yueyue must be scared."
"If something like this happens again in the future, even if your mother doesn't allow you to tell it, you must tell your aunts, understand?"
Wu Qiuyue nodded and nestled in Jiang Yan's arms. The little guy had been scared these days.
The next morning, Jiang Yan and others accompanied Yuan Sufeng to exchange Zhanchuan's local food coupons for national food coupons and send them back to their hometown.
Four or five hundred kilograms of grain is too much. If it is mailed directly, I don’t know how long it will be delayed on the road. It would be faster to exchange it for national food coupons.
Jiang Yan and the other two did not spread the news about the disaster in Yuan Sufeng's hometown. They only mentioned it to their husbands in the evening.
A few days later.
Bang bang bang!
“Here I come.”
Lu Yunsheng was giving Jiang Yan daily combat training when there was a knock on the courtyard door. He responded and walked over. Jiang Yan followed curiously, "It's so late, who could it be?"
When I opened the door, I saw that it was Wu Jinchao and his wife.
"Captain Wu, Sister Sufeng, what's the matter so late?"
Jiang Yan asked curiously. Seeing Wu Jinchao's expression, Lu Yunsheng knew what he was here for. He smiled and said, "No need to thank me. It hurts our relationship to say that."
Wu Jinchao was very touched, "But this is not a small amount."
He just came back from a mission today. When he got home in the evening, he heard his wife tell him that his three sisters-in-law had helped the family so much.
As a result, when they met during the day, Lu Yunsheng and the other two didn't mention it to anyone, and even no one in the army was talking about it.
Lu Yunsheng said calmly: "It's not a big amount. You still have to go to the political commissar and Old Xu's house. Don't waste time, go quickly. Take your time, there's no rush."
After hearing these two seemingly contradictory words from Lu Yunsheng, Wu Jinchao knew that Lu Yunsheng was hinting at him to take his time and not rush to return the food coupons.
As professional soldiers, the only ways for them to obtain money are daily rations and mission rewards.
If he relied on the former, he would not be able to pay off his debts in a short period of time, and the latter would be very dangerous.
If he applies for more missions in order to pay off his debts, he will die in a mission sooner or later.
Feeling Lu Yunsheng's intention, Wu Jinchao felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Then we won't bother you anymore."
Jiang Yan waved her hand, "Sister-in-law, Captain Wu, you guys should also go to bed early."
Watching Wu Jinchao and his wife walk towards Sheng Pinghua's yard, Lu Yunsheng closed the gate and bolted it.
Jiang Yan whispered, "Well, I did a great job, didn't I? Captain Wu will definitely stand on your side from now on. Even the political commissar and Deputy Captain Xu will be on our side."
Seeing Jiang Yan's little look of seeking praise, Lu Yunsheng picked her up sideways, and Jiang Yan quickly hugged his neck.
Lu Yunsheng took the opportunity to kiss Jiang Yan on her fair face and said with a smile, "My wife did a great job."
"That is."
Jiang Yan was a little proud. Seeing Lu Yunsheng walking towards the bedroom, she quickly reminded him, "You haven't taken a shower yet."
"Do it and then wash it."
Jiang Yan was shocked by Lu Yunsheng's undisguised words. She rested her chin on his shoulder and murmured, "Lu Yunsheng, you are becoming more and more rude. Can't you be more elegant?"
"You are already an old married couple, why should you be elegant? It is impossible for a man to be elegant when doing this."
Then, Lu Yunsheng whispered in Jiang Yan's ear again: "But if my beloved wife likes it, I will fulfill your wish tonight, and be elegant for once."
"Um?"
Jiang Yan was puzzled, but soon she knew what Lu Yunsheng meant by elegant.
Damn.
This bastard kept repeating the same rhythm all night, making Jiang Yan feel stuck in between and almost exhausted.
In the end, she cried and begged, and was coaxed by Lu Yunsheng into saying a lot of blushing and sweet words, which brought the final storm.
When she was dozing off, Jiang Yan had only one thought in her mind: she would get angry with anyone who mentioned Wen Ya in the future.
