Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Who Wouldn’t Be Nervous?

It took Su Shu three full days to sort out everything in her home.

Looking at the pile of items before her, she really wanted to simply stow them away in the "space."

But doing so would inevitably reveal the existence of the "space" in front of the children.

Lu Tong was a child with very meticulous thoughts, and he always felt that Aunt Su seemed to have something on her mind.

But he never asked her about it, simply doing whatever Su Shu asked of him.

The Su Family had a bit more belongings; it was faster for the families below, Luo Family and Ge Family, to pack up.

Luo Gang nearly dismantled all the furniture he had painstakingly crafted himself.

When Li Xiaoxia saw Su Shu, she hurriedly asked her to help persuade him.

"Talk some sense into him, will you? He worked so hard to make them, why tear them down? Maybe after living "underground" for a while, we can all come back, right?"

Before Su Shu could speak, Luo Gang interjected, "It’s impossible to come back. Even if we could, it would be a very, very long time from now."

"Who said that?"

"Who needs to say it? Just look at what they are doing now, and you’ll know. Isn’t that right, Sister Su Shu?"

Li Xiaoxia still looked at the handcrafted furniture with some distress.

"Maybe keep a couple?"

"Keeping so much is useless if we get there and don’t have a place to live, having too many things is pointless."

Sitting beside them, Su Shu could tell that Luo Gang was very ’sensitive’ to the developments outside.

"Brother Luo, you might not need so much firewood down there, and with poor ventilation, they might not allow hoarding so much stuff. I think you could sell those small stools and tables to someone else."

"Right, if not, why not trade them for some food with others?"

Luo Gang paused, "I’ve thought about it, but after asking around, nobody is willing to exchange food for things anymore."

Su Shu expressed her understanding.

"No one has lived ’underground’ for an extended period before; we still don’t know what the situation will be like, so being cautious is not wrong."

Luo Gang’s idea was that it was too troublesome to move the well-made items; if not feasible, he would dismantle them, use half for firewood, and stuff half in bags as raw materials.

Once "underground," they could play it by ear and make new things as needed.

Su Shu stayed at the Luo Family for a while before going to check on the Ge Family.

Fu Shiyin was very happy to see Su Shu, but amidst her joy, there was also a tinge of sadness.

They had already heard that this time, all military family members would live together, just like in the old military compounds.

And for them, Su Shu’s family, and the three children, it might become difficult to see each other in the future.

Ge Tingzhi had thought about this issue on the first day the news came.

As an elderly couple without children, they didn’t know where they would be placed.

Although childless, they had each other and weren’t considered lonely elderly. Luo Gang had signed up for the construction team organized by the "government," so naturally, the Luo Family would stay with his colleagues and their families.

But for people like them and her partner, who had no special status nor could participate in public organizations, they naturally fell into the category of ordinary citizens.

In fact, no matter which category one was in, the conditions were more or less the same, but they were separated because of different responsibilities.

Yet, getting used to one way of life and then having to change is always difficult for people to accept.

They had gotten used to being neighbors with Su Shu, the children, and the Luo Family, and now suddenly, the three families had to part from each other.

The mood of the elderly couple was heavy and uneasy.

All of this, Su Shu watched quietly, saying nothing while she was at the Ge Family.

When she returned to her own home, she seriously considered whether it was appropriate to leave the elderly couple alone in another living area, given their advanced age.
