Although he had decided to stay and help, Lu Changge had no intention of showing up.
So he let Da Teng and Er Teng go ahead, hide in the dark, and wait for the opportunity.
As for Lu Changge, she naturally stayed at home to accompany her husband and children.
Making great achievements was never Lu Changge's goal from the beginning to the end.
All he wanted was a leisurely and peaceful pastoral life.
After breakfast, Lu Changge packed up his things and the family got on a carriage and went into the inner city.
Taking advantage of the calm before the storm, Lu Changge planned to take her husband and children out for some relaxation.
After all, it's not good to stay at home all the time.
Originally Su Fuyun also wanted to go with him, but his father needed someone to take care of him, so he had to give up.
In addition to the father and his four sons, Dahei also went with them, while Erhei stayed behind to guard the house.
As we entered the inner city in a carriage, the noise around us gradually grew louder.
Different from the dull and depressing atmosphere of the outer city, the smoke and life atmosphere of the inner city are more obvious.
Although the border town is not as prosperous and bustling as other cities, it has everything it should have.
After strolling around the inner city for a morning and having lunch, Lu Changge and his family went back home.
However, the atmosphere in the morning is still relaxed.
It was less than five o'clock in the afternoon when the city gate, which had been wide open, was suddenly closed, and soldiers were guarding the city wall.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Bianguancheng is different from other places.
However, the last war had been more than fifty years ago, and the people in the border town were still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Seeing that the city gates were closed and they were not allowed to go in or out, some people went over to make trouble.
The result was obvious. All those who went to cause trouble were arrested.
The atmosphere in the city began to become solemn, and there was no more laughter and joy in the inner city.
In the afternoon, Brother Su came back from work with a very solemn look on his face.
After I came back, I didn’t go home but went straight next door.
Su Fuyun was squatting in the yard playing with his two nephews. When he saw his eldest brother coming over, he looked up and said, "Brother, you look unhappy. What's wrong?"
"It's OK……"
"Is it about the closing of the city gate?" Su Fuyun asked before Brother Su finished speaking.
"How do you know?" Brother Su stopped and looked at him.
"Ah? It's not just me. Everyone else knows about it. Someone caused trouble at the city gate in the afternoon and was arrested." Su Fuyun said.
Tuanzi, who was standing nearby, heard the words "grab it" and asked curiously, "Why do you have to grab it?"
"Because they are disobedient, those who are disobedient will be arrested." Su Fuyun said with a smile.
"Really?!" Tuanzi heard this with some fear in his eyes, "Then Tuanzi will be obedient..."
"They don't arrest children, they only arrest disobedient adults." Seeing that his eldest nephew was scared, Su Fuyun quickly explained.
"Is your brother-in-law home?"
"No, he just went out." Su Fuyun shook his head.
Brother Su responded and had to go back.
After the city gates were closed, everyone was trembling with fear in the first few days.
However, after seeing that their lives did not change much after the city gates were closed, they relaxed.
Eat when you should, drink when you should.
However, after another five or six days, everyone was awakened by the sudden sound of fighting in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping soundly.
Outside the border city is a large expanse of empty sandy wasteland, close to the border between the two countries.
During the war, the deafening sound of fighting reached the border city, although it had been reduced a lot.
But the evil spirit transmitted through the sound has not diminished in the slightest.
Lu Changge's family lived in the outer city and could hear it more clearly, as if it were ringing in their ears.
Su Qingyun and the children had never experienced this before and soon woke up.
Tuanzi and Erbao didn’t know what happened, but they felt uncomfortable being woken up when they were sleeping soundly.
"Wow wow..." Erbao, who was frightened awake, started howling at the top of his lungs.
Lu Changge quickly sat up, held Erbao in his arms, and patted his back to comfort him.
"Daddy, Mum, Father... Wuwu..."
When Tuanzi woke up, he saw darkness in front of him and heard scary noises outside. He was so scared that he started crying.
Su Qingyun, who was also awakened, had no time to be afraid and quickly spoke to comfort Tuanzi.
"It's okay, it's okay, Daddy and Mum are here..."
Lu Changge carried Erbao out of bed, coaxed him while going over to light the oil lamp in the room.
The oil lamp was lit, and the originally dark room was illuminated, dispelling the fear in the hearts of the father and son on the bed.
After lighting the oil lamp, Lu Changge walked back carrying Erbao.
Seeing his father coming, Tuanzi rubbed his eyes and sat up quickly.
“Daddy…”
"It's not dawn yet, lie down and go to sleep." Lu Changge paced back and forth in front of the bed to coax Erbao, and said to Tuanzi.
"I'm scared..." Tuanzi said with red eyes, stepping over his father to find his father.
"Daddy is here, there's nothing to be afraid of," said Lu Changge.
But seeing the fear in Tuanzi's eyes, he sat back on the bed.
Tuanzi was indeed still sleepy, and when he saw his father coming up, he quickly climbed over.
Then she lay on her daddy, her little hands tightly grasping his clothes, and soon fell asleep again.
Erbao didn't cry for long. When he smelled his father's breath, his sobbing stopped after a while.
The sound of fighting outside was still going on and getting louder and louder, but the two little guys were sleeping soundly in their father's arms.
"Husband, is it outside..." Su Qingyun sat down, her face a little pale.
"Don't worry."
Lu Changge stretched out his hand to him, and Su Qingyun moved over without thinking.
"It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Lu Changge said softly.
"I can't sleep." Su Qingyun shook his head. He was not sleepy at all.
Su Qingyun couldn't sleep, and Lu Changge didn't force him.
The oil lamp burned slowly, sometimes making a slight crackling sound.
The conversations in the room were intermittent and so low that they seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze.
I don't know when the sound stopped.
All that was left was the sound of fighting and weapons clashing in the distance.
Lu Changge was half leaning against the head of the bed, holding Erbao in one hand and his wife in the other, with a baby lying on his body.
In this posture, Lu Changge closed his eyes and rested.
As for the oil lamp in the house, no one paid any attention to it and it just burned quietly.
The oil lamp burned from midnight until dawn, and when the owner came to blow it out, only a thin layer of oil remained in the lamp.
When Lu Changge woke up, the noise outside had stopped.
As to whether it will resonate in the future, this is still unknown.
He carefully moved his arm away, picked up Tuanzi who was lying on him and put him aside, then Lu Changge walked out of the house lightly.
[System, sign in.]
[Ding—Successfully signed in on the 480th day of fleeing famine, and received sign-in rewards: six pounds of rice, three pounds of flour, a box of fried shrimps, three bags of raw wontons, and two boxes of dumplings.
Receive a reward for signing in for 60 consecutive days: a low-level energy bead.
System reminder: Low-level energy beads cannot store energy for a long time, please use them as soon as possible after taking them out. 】
When he saw that the consecutive signing reward was another energy bead, Lu Changge's expression did not change.
The big vine and the second vine have already absorbed theirs.
The one I just signed in and the one already in the system space are reserved for San Teng.
After signing in, Lu Changge took out wontons, dumplings, and fried shrimps.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Lu Changge started to make breakfast.
Since Da Teng and Er Teng were not around, Lu Changge had to take care of making a fire and arranging firewood.
Today's breakfast is wontons and dumplings.
The fried shrimps are cooked and are still warm to the touch when taken out.
Lu Changge opened the packaging box and poured the fried shrimps into the plate.
Wontons and dumplings are raw and need to be boiled in a pot with boiling water.
There are three bags of raw wontons, each with a different filling: pork and cabbage, shrimp and leek, and bean curd egg.
The dumpling filling is pure meat, and some chopped green onions are mixed in, making it taste more delicious.
After the water boils, Lu Changge puts the wontons in first.
When the water boils again, add cold water into the pot.
Cook for about eight minutes, and when the wontons float out of the boiling water, transfer them into the soup bowl.
A big pot of wontons is ready.
Next is the dumplings.
At this moment, Su Fuyun's voice was heard outside the kitchen, and the next second he ran in.
"Goff..."
"Go wash the dishes." Lu Changge ordered without turning his head.
"...Oh." Su Fuyun responded subconsciously, then went to the cupboard to get the dishes and chopsticks.
He completely forgot why he came here.
By the time he reacted, the dishes had been washed and brought into the house.
The house that Lu Changge rented had three rooms, one of which was a large one and was used as the master bedroom, where his family of four lived.
The remaining room is used as the main room, where meals are eaten or when people come to visit.
A pawnshop to store things, and let Dahei and Erhei sleep in it.
"Goff..."
Seeing Lu Changge coming in with something, Su Fuyun opened his mouth to continue what he was saying, but was interrupted again.
"Go call my father-in-law and my eldest brother over."
"Ah? What are you doing here?" Su Fuyun asked in confusion.
Lu Changge glanced at him and said, "Come and have breakfast."
Su Fuyun always felt that his brother-in-law looked at him with a bit of contempt, but he didn't dare to look closely.
But, just come over for breakfast.
"No, no, my elder brother has already done it. I came here just to ask about what happened last night." Su Fuyun waved his hands quickly.
Not to mention that since the second brother came over, his father's breakfast every day has been prepared by his second brother's family.
Moreover, Lu Changge would call them over for dinner from time to time.
Although brothers shouldn't argue with each other, the second brother has already started a family, so how could they shamelessly go over and eat and drink for free?
"Brother, I...I'll go back first and come back later." After saying that, Su Fuyun ran away.
Lu Changge glanced at Su Fuyun who ran out of the door, and then looked away.
Not long after, Su Qingyun and Tuanzi also woke up.
Erbao was still a little sleepy, so Su Qingyun changed his diaper and put the bottle in his hand.
Erbao grabbed the bottle with both hands, closed his eyes, took a few sips, and then lay there motionless.
After a while, the mouth moved again, but the eyes were still closed.
You can sleep and drink milk at the same time without any delay.
"Daddy, what are we having for dinner today?" Tuanzi ran to the dining table, held onto the edge with both hands, and stood on tiptoe to see what was going on.
Lu Changge bent down and picked up the kid, let him take a look at him, and then took him out to brush his teeth.
"Daddy, what's that red thing? Is it good?"
Before he could see clearly what was on the table, he was taken away by his father. Tuanzi could only ask.
"That's shrimp. Haven't you eaten it before?"
Walking into the yard, Lu Changge scooped water for him to brush his teeth and wash his face.
“I’ve eaten it!”
Tuanzi finished washing her face, and Su Qingyun came back after delivering breakfast.
Putting the food box aside and sitting down, Su Qingyun took the wontons that her husband served her.
"Dad, I want to eat big red shrimps." Tuanzi pointed at the plate of shrimps in front of his dad with a spoon.
"Eat the wontons in your bowl first."
Despite saying this, Lu Changge still peeled two shrimps for him.
