Chapter 175: Offer Suggestions
In the study courtyard, the dining table had been set up, and the bowls and chopsticks had been placed on the table, as if they were waiting for everyone to gather before serving. Nanchen, Yexiao, and Huaheng were still in the study, while Yanan and Bailu sat at the dining table and chatted together. Yiyi's arrogant barbell-like laughter came from afar, startling the two of them and standing up. They looked at each other in confusion and looked towards the courtyard gate for a long time but saw no one.
"Sister, don't bother with her. She's laughing so wildly. I think I've gone crazy." Bai Lu pulled Yanan to sit down again.
"Don't be too happy or too sad, as it will cause worry to others. Bailu, do you still have the foundation and eyebrow pencil you brought with you?" Yanan asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I haven't had a chance to use it, and it's still in my backpack. What do you want to do here?" Bai Lu asked casually.
"Role playing! I'll get it from you after dinner. I want the natural-colored foundation." Yanan said casually.
"Sisters, are you having so much fun? You're even role-playing?" Bai Lu was inexplicably surprised and couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Shh, shh, keep your voice down, do you want to ruin my plan?" Yanan looked around and finally felt relieved. She had something to think about, and she would see if she could deal with Hua Heng tomorrow night. Before that, she couldn't say anything even if she was beaten to death!
"Hi, you are really good at pretending to be mysterious! I didn't expect that the one who has changed the most is the eldest sister! Alas, I also want to have fun, but reality doesn't allow it!" Bai Lu stared at her belly in a daze. There is a lively baby here. Since the interaction, she began to feel his presence with her heart.
"Big sister, second sister, you are all here. It's just right. The kitchen is ready to serve the food!" Yiyi's smiling face appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
"Hey, slow down, look at the threshold!" Yanan stood up and reminded her.
"It's okay, it's okay, I know." Yiyi stepped lightly over the threshold and walked towards the dining table.
"Where is your man?" Bai Lu asked.
"My man met my eldest sister's man at the door of the big kitchen. They were talking!" Yiyi replied imitating Bai Lu's tone.
"What do you mean my men? Haven't they been in the study the whole time?" Yanan felt puzzled. She had been here the whole time and had never seen anyone come out.
"Is it possible that you have forgotten how many men you have?" Bailu and Yiyi both stared at her intently.
"..." Yanan was dumbfounded. What he said really came true. She forgot that her Shen Wen had been running around outside for several days.
"Puchi... No way, we were right?" Bai Lu was overjoyed. It was so rare to see someone forget about her husband!
"How would I know when he will be back? The most troublesome thing is the communication difficulties. I have to write letters all the time, and it's so time-consuming and laborious to send messages back and forth," Yanan defended helplessly. It's estimated that Shen Wen won't stay for long after he comes back. It's the peak season for money-making and there will be retaliatory consumption before the holidays. It's good enough if he isn't too busy.
Yanan's guess was right. Shen Wen came back to report with a letter from Lion Mountain. The situation was special, so he went there in person. He told the team stationed in the mountains about the wintering problem. In previous years, it was not so cold, so it was not a big problem to spend the winter in the mountains. Now the weather is colder than in previous years, and it might be dangerous to spend the winter in the mountains. That's why they sent a letter back to explain the situation through the escort team that delivered the supplies. They needed to go down the mountain to spend the winter, but they were afraid that too many people would expose the problem.
"There are tens of thousands of people. It's not a solution for them all to go down the mountain!" Ling Wuxin was also worried.
"How about we send someone over to check out the situation?" Shen Wen knew the seriousness of the matter.
"It is necessary. Let's go eat first. After dinner, we can talk to the second brother to see what he thinks." Ling Wuxin said after thinking for a moment.
Ling Wuxin asked the kitchen staff to serve the dishes immediately, and then went to the study courtyard with Shen Wen. When he entered the door, he saw the three sisters Yiyi laughing together, and they seemed to be talking about something hilarious.
"Madam, I'm back!" Shen Wen, who was originally standing behind the boss, walked into the door and quickly walked towards Yanan.
"Hey, are you done with everything, husband?" Yanan stopped chatting and laughing with her sisters, and stood up to greet them.
"The big things are all done! There are only some small things left! Are you feeling better, my lady?" Shen Wen grabbed her shoulders, looked her up and down, and asked with concern.
"Well, okay, okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about what happened to you outside." As a modern person, Yanan was too embarrassed to discuss her period in public, not to mention that there were two younger sisters behind her who always enjoyed watching her laugh. So she had to keep her composure no matter what, so she changed the subject.
"I went to deliver beddings to the military camp. It took me several days to complete the transportation. Now that a cold wave is coming, I came back to visit you because I am worried about your family!" Shen Wen is indeed a profiteer. His words are part true and part false, true and false, and he is so sincere when he deceives people.
"..." Yanan laughed dumbly. It would be strange for someone like him to come back because of worry. Where else could be safer than staying at home? Fortunately, the arrival of the waiter interrupted their conversation. She turned around and found that the two sisters had gossipy eyes.
"Master, the dishes are served. Enjoy your meal, everyone." The servant wanted to slip away.
"Well, go to the study and call them to come for dinner!" Ling Wuxin was watching the servant serve the dishes before, and saw Lao Si's joke from the corner of his eye. He also saw that he made up his mind so perfectly, what a master! Ling Wuxin thought that his daughter must stay away from profiteers in the future! It must be said that Ling Wuxin really thought far ahead.
When everyone sat around the table to eat together, the atmosphere became lively again. While eating, they exchanged work progress and problems to be solved. When talking about difficulties, everyone seemed worried and began to offer suggestions.
Ling Wuxin: "Second brother, the army is going down the mountain. This is the most urgent matter for wintering. What do you think we should do? The literacy competition should be carried out in an orderly manner. The newspaper issue can be dealt with after the New Year. This is not urgent. In contrast, safely surviving the winter is more urgent. Each camp needs to have self-rescue measures and plans."
Nanchen: "Indeed, I will issue a safe wintering order tomorrow and ask them to check themselves and make corrections as soon as possible! I plan to go to Lion Mountain in person. In units of 1,000 people, have those originally stationed on the mountain move down the mountain. Some camps need to be rebuilt, and the supplies are quite sufficient."
"Will it be too late for this reconstruction?" Yanan asked without knowing the situation.
"Is there a kang in the camp?" Yiyi also asked.
"Is the mountain high? If it's too high, we're worried that heavy snow will block the mountain, cutting off communications, and preventing supplies. We're also worried about heavy snow and avalanches that will crush people to death." Bai Lu also offered her opinion, which was rare.
"Brother, let's build a circle of dormitories outside the Dada Industrial Park. There are still empty spaces. If it is an emergency, it can accommodate some of the people..." Shen Wen proposed a solution.
"It should be possible to transfer part of it to Puxian Temple..." Hua Heng also expressed his suggestion.
"No need. I decided to let them solve it themselves. If they can't even solve this little problem, how can they fight? In terms of familiarity, they are more familiar with the place than us! The personnel will be concentrated in thousands, and the scattered outposts will be withdrawn first. The barracks will be reinforced, and additional camp kangs will be added. This will be faster than relocation. There is no shortage of supplies. At most, they will be asked to prepare more firewood to increase heating." Ling Wuxin said this after gritting his teeth after thinking it over.
"Okay, I understand! I will leave early!" Nanchen promised.
