Chapter 168 The Political Department Received a Call (2/2)

It's only September now, so it's too early to store vegetables in the cellar, but we can start drying vegetables.

While the sun is shining brightly now, the weather will cool down in another month, and some vegetables won't dry properly in the sun. They'll spoil easily if kept covered up in winter.

Grandma Jiang got up early in the morning and went to the service station to buy dozens of kilograms of green radishes. After washing them with clean water, she cut the radishes into thin strips, laid a wooden board in the yard, covered it with a cloth, and then spread the cut green radishes out on the board to dry.

In the evening, place the radishes inside by padding the four corners of the cloth, so they won't get wet in the rain.

The next day, after the sun rises, they are carried out to dry.

However, the men in the family took care of Houxi's work, so Grandma Jiang didn't have to worry about it.

Lin Han thought of the dried daylily and dried gongcai that she always liked to order when eating hot pot in her later life, and she asked Grandma Jiang if she could buy these two vegetables.

When the weather gets a bit colder, I can buy seasonings and make my own hot pot broth. Then the whole family can gather around the stove and enjoy hot pot together – that would be so wonderful!

When Grandma Jiang heard Lin Han mention daylilies and dried vegetables, she had never seen anyone drying these two things.

However, since Lin Han has this idea, she can ask Grandma Li; she should be able to buy it.

After tidying up the radishes in the house, Grandma Jiang went out to find Grandma Li.

Grandma Li had never heard of dried daylily or dried gongcai (a type of vegetable), but her son worked at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, so finding some vegetables was a piece of cake for him.

"No problem, I'll tell my son and have him get it back."

I'll bring it to you after it arrives.

Then, out of curiosity, she asked, "Can dried daylilies taste good?"

Grandma Jiang had never eaten it before, but anything her granddaughter-in-law liked must be delicious.

So she made a bold claim.

"Of course it's delicious! If it's not delicious, can I ask you to make it for me? It's delicious, absolutely delicious."

Grandma Li was somewhat tempted, "Then I'll sun some too."

These past few days, Lin Han has been following Grandma Jiang's advice and hasn't gone far on her walks, just strolling around the old cadres' family compound. So she hasn't heard about what's happening in the ordinary family compound.

Liu Li, carrying the joint letter she had painstakingly signed, went to the Political Department early in the morning with Wang Fang and two other military wives who had signed it.

The director of the political department had just been criticized by Old Master Gu and was worried about how to deal with the matter of Lin Han being reported when someone came to his door.

"Excuse me, is this the Political Department? Is the matter of Comrade Lin Han being reported under your jurisdiction?"

When Director Wang heard that it was related to Lin Han, he took it quite seriously and brought the person to his office.

He wondered to himself, could it be that these few people deliberately wrote those messy complaint letters?

As a result, Liu Li took out a joint letter and handed it to him.

"Hello, leader. We are military dependents from the family compound. We are here to seek justice for Comrade Lin Han."

She wasn't capitalist at all; she was a genuinely kind person who helped us.

Pregnant women like us don't have suitable and comfortable clothes, so we can only make do and get through the pregnancy. But that's really inconvenient and uncomfortable, as anyone who's been pregnant knows.

Comrade Lin Han's design of this maternity wear completely solved our problem.
