Lu Ting did not come back that night and did not come back until after ten o'clock the next morning. Su Yan felt distressed when she saw Lu Ting with an unshaven beard.
"Lu Ting, didn't you sleep last night?"
"Yeah, I didn't get much sleep going back and forth to interrogate the prisoners. Zheng Ying confessed everything, but Zheng Jiayue and her superiors refused to confess at all."
"What did Zheng Ying confess? What secrets of our army has she uncovered over the years?"
"A map of your school, and a detailed list of medical faculty. Several of them are involved in the institute's drug development experiments.
She originally planned to become their apprentice, hoping that they would accept her as their disciple so that she could find a way to enter graduate school after graduation.
Fortunately, Yanyan, you discovered her. This time, you have made a great contribution. The higher-ups will give you a reward. My dad said that the greatest credit this time belongs to Luo Yanyan. She was the one who reported the person and she should be rewarded.
The leaders above are very smart and capable. They praised Luo Yanyan externally and gave you a certificate of praise internally.
Yanyan, don't be angry, we are protecting you. After all, there are still many hidden spies who have not been discovered."
"I know. I was too impulsive yesterday. I should have discussed it with you before letting you report it."
"Yan Yan, you did nothing wrong. We should have reported the problem immediately if we discovered it. If she left the military area, we would have no reason to interrogate her.
However, from my personal perspective, I still hope you can stay away from these things. Your safety is more important than anything else. What if something unexpected happens while you are pregnant?"
"Okay, I understand. Lu Ting, you should rest for a while. I'll make you something delicious when you wake up."
"Thank you, Yanyan."
Lu Ting didn't sleep the whole night. He took Su Yan's hand and talked for a few words. Then he went back to his room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in seconds.
Su Yan covered him with a blanket, went back to the space and took out the duck, chicken, wings and legs that she had stored before. She used the duck to make Juewei duck, the chicken feet to make spicy and sour chicken feet, and the chicken wings and legs to make fried wings.
These are all snacks to go with wine, so naturally they have to be made into a dish to go with rice. She used half a pound of flour as bait to make a nest in the fish pond, and caught four big grass carps with one net.
One small one was used to make grilled fish, and the remaining three large ones were all killed and chopped into pieces to make fermented fish.
Su Yan prepared most of the dishes in the space, leaving only the grilled fish outside. Now that she was back home, people would definitely be suspicious if she didn't light the fire.
When Lu Ting went to work on the farm, he would sometimes pull back a bundle of firewood on his bicycle and stack it neatly in the corridor.
Some people would go to Su Yan to borrow firewood when they saw that Su Yan was not at home and Lu Ting rarely cooked. Of course, there would also be people who took advantage of the fact that they were not at home and took the firewood they had stacked without asking.
Fortunately, the coal briquettes that Lu Ting bought were locked under the cabinet of the stove, so they couldn't steal them.
Su Yan put all the food on the table, closed the door, went back to the room and called Lu Ting to get up for dinner. Worried that he didn't get enough sleep, she deliberately didn't eat lunch until one o'clock.
"Lu Ting, it's time to eat."
Lu Ting jumped up, feeling that he had not slept enough, so he got up and washed his face with cold water.
"Wife, why did you cook so many dishes today?"
"The weather is getting cold, and these braised ducks can be kept for two or three days. I'll take some back to school, and leave the rest for you to drink with.
I made two jars of fermented fish, one is in the space, and the other is for you."
"Yan Yan, this grass carp is so big, we can't finish it in one meal. I don't even have to cook tonight."
This large pot of fish was indeed too much for two people to finish in one meal, because Su Yan also put a lot of side dishes under the grilled fish, such as lettuce, vermicelli, coriander, onion, celery...
"Don't skimp on food. Just make whatever you want. Lu Ting, I'll leave two hundred kilograms of glutinous rice at home. You can take it to my parents' house."
"What do you need so much glutinous rice for?"
"Steamed rice wine, so we don't have to buy wine when our children have the third day of the lunar year."
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about this. Since we have glutinous rice at home, we can indeed make our own rice wine. When the baby is born, we can have a few more tables and serve it as a wedding wine."
Why hold a wedding banquet after the baby is born? However, we did not invite relatives and friends to the dinner before. When the baby is born, we do need to set up a few more tables, and we will hold it in my parents-in-law's yard, which is spacious enough.
"Yan Yan, there are still tangerines in the space, right?"
"Yes, I'll leave a basket for you later. You can eat it slowly at home. But eating too many oranges will make you get a sore throat. After a while, the oranges on the tree will turn yellow, and eating oranges won't make you get so sore."
"Yan Yan, you have so many fruits in your space. Let's find a way to sell some more. Fortunately, those medicinal herbs are not dug up now, so they won't go bad if we grow more for a few years."
Some medicinal herbs become more effective the older they are, so she is not in a hurry to sell them now.
Because she was pregnant, she didn't take care of the fruits much and stored them all in the warehouse when they were ripe.
Kiwis, cherries, and mangoes are not convenient to sell, so they are sent to the canteen to be processed into dried fruits. Lychees and longans are dried in their shells.
Apples, pears, pomegranates, durians, mangosteens, sugar apples, and Sunshine Rose grapes... have all been stored in the warehouse. Now only oranges, persimmons, and winter dates are left hanging on the trees.
"The only fresh fruits we can sell during the Lunar New Year are apples, pears, and oranges, but we can also sell preserved and dried fruits. This month we can harvest cotton, and we should be able to harvest several thousand kilograms of seed cotton."
Fortunately, the oranges in their planting base are not navel oranges, but an old variety of sugar oranges. They are not as big as navel oranges, but are sweeter than navel oranges.
There are a total of four carts of apples, pears and oranges, plus one and a half carts of preserved and dried fruits, and half a cart of cotton. After selling them, I should be able to earn tens of thousands.
[Boss Su, where are you selling these goods?] Lu Yiming's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
[A friend of mine who runs freight in Jinshi, what? You want to help keep watch for us?]
I didn't become a second-generation rich man in my previous life, but I never imagined I'd become one in the 1960s. Boss Su, find an opportunity to buy a few courtyard houses.
Many people are homeless these days. Workers have to wait in line for years to get housing. Houses inherited from ancestors often have large families. Only a fool would sell their house these days. We have to wait for this opportunity to find a bargain.
Lu Yiming suggested: [On the eve of the Great Movement, many people will try to take a boat to Southeast Asia. You can then try to find a way to get a bargain.]
"We'll see when the time comes. Don't worry, your father is the eldest son and grandson of the Lu family. We have a courtyard house in the city."
【Really?】
[In this life, just pursue a career you like and don't worry about money.]
"I plan to study medicine when I grow up. Saving lives and helping the wounded is also a way to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Look, I've been born into a good family, haven't I?"
Su Yan couldn't argue with Lu Yiming, and she was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she just let him be happy.
Reincarnation is a technical job. If you are reincarnated into a family where people can't even get enough food, you probably won't even have milk to drink when you are born, and can only drink rice soup in the end.
