After Lao Wu left, Song Youyou closed the door and returned to her room upstairs.
She put away the acupuncture equipment and entered the space, taking this opportunity to harvest the batch of ripe vegetables in the space.
Song Youyou knew that winter vegetables were rare, but after talking with Lao Wu today, she realized how rare winter vegetables were on the black market.
The vegetables grown in the space can mature in two or three weeks. There is still a month left before the Chinese New Year, which means she can produce another batch of vegetables before the Chinese New Year.
Apart from leaving some of these vegetables for her family members on both sides, she planned to leave the rest to Lao Wu.
The weather is getting colder and colder. The Chinese New Year is when the frost damage is the most severe and people are most short of food. At that time, all food is extremely precious, especially fresh vegetables.
There are about 10 acres of black soil where vegetables are planted. The yield of each vegetable is slightly different, but the difference is not particularly large. One acre of land can produce about 400 kilograms, and 10 acres can produce 4,000 kilograms.
Except for leaving two mu of vegetables for her own use, Song Youyou harvested all the other vegetables. She was grateful for the magical function of the space, which allowed her to harvest the vegetables without having to use her hands, just by thinking. Otherwise, she would be so busy that she would be exhausted.
After the vegetables were harvested, they were piled up in the open space like a small mountain. Song Youyou couldn't help rubbing her temples.
4,000 kilograms of vegetables, if carried by ordinary trucks, would fill two trucks. She was afraid that Lao Wu would be unable to resist asking questions if she took out so much at once.
After thinking about it, she decided to put it in the warehouse for Lao Wu in two batches to save him from unnecessary worries.
Song Youyou had a plan, but plans cannot keep up with changes.
The next day, Song Youyou first went out to put the vegetables in the designated warehouse, and then went to Gongdelin to find Lingyou to study. While Lingyou was busy, she went to Xinhua Bookstore again and returned home almost in the evening.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that Gu Xiao had returned from the army and was talking to his father and others in the living room.
"Youyou."
As soon as she came in, Gu Xiao saw her, and the old lady Gu next to him also smiled kindly and let her pass.
"How long can you rest this time?" asked Gu's father.
Song Youyou walked over to Old Lady Gu and sat down, listening attentively.
Gu Xiao was on this mission for a long time. According to what he said last time, he should be able to rest for a while before going to the border.
"The organization has notified me to rest for two days before reporting to the border."
"So urgent?"
"Yes, the transfer order just came."
That's why he came back in a hurry, because he was afraid that Youyou wouldn't have enough time to prepare.
"It's so urgent that we can't even go after the Chinese New Year?" Father Gu murmured.
Old Master Gu immediately glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? Military affairs are not a joke. You must obey the transfer order."
Father Gu: "I know. I will definitely obey the transfer order. I just didn't expect it to be so sudden. I don't know when I will be back..."
Yes, I thought I could see Grandma Gu’s leg disease get better, and we could spend this winter together before going to the border to take up my post.
Song Youyou also felt it was sudden.
"It's okay. It's very convenient to send telegrams and write letters now. If there's something urgent, you can even call. It doesn't matter where you celebrate the New Year."
Mrs. Gu said, and then said:
"It's just that this transfer order came out of nowhere. Does Youyou have enough time to prepare? If not, we can let Xiaoge go first, and then send someone to take you to the border after the New Year."
Song Youyou shook her head: "No, two days is enough."
Time is indeed urgent.
The next day, Song Youyou went out early.
The transfer order came suddenly, and she had to go back to the Lu family to tell her grandfather and brothers, and also tell Ling You, Lao Wu and Wen Xiaorou.
Things that needed to be arranged were also arranged.
Song Youyou first went to find Wen Xiaorou and temporarily hired a few sisters-in-law near Wen Xiaorou's residence. They pickled as many vegetables as possible. The remaining ones were put in the warehouse and handed over to Lao Wu for processing.
In just one morning, they made dozens of jars of kimchi, pickled mustard greens, sour beans and chili sauce.
In the afternoon, Lao Wu brought over dozens of kilograms of pork, and several people made jar meat together.
Song Youyou divided these things into several portions and left some for the families on both sides and Wen Xiaorou.
She even prepared a copy for Mr. Lin from Xinhua Bookstore.
However, when she went to Xinhua Bookstore, Mr. Lin happened to be looking for her and handed her a certificate of senior translator.
The certificate is a piece of paper with the words "Foreign Language Translator (Senior)" written on it.
"I know you're going to the border, and I've already spoken with the person in charge there. When you get there, please find a time to report to the local Xinhua Bookstore."
"The Xinhua Bookstore on the border has very few translation jobs, but even fewer translators. If there's any translation work needed there, I hope you can help as much as you can and don't waste your talent."
Song Youyou nodded and replied, "Well, I will try my best."
…
Gu Xiao went to the political commissar in the morning and came back at noon to run errands for Song Youyou and retrieve the quilt and cotton coat that he had made earlier.
So, Song Youyou could pack her luggage in the evening.
Luggage can be put into the space, but many things need to be exposed. You can't just take a few things with you and then take out a lot of things to use later.
So she only put some inconspicuous items into the space, and mailed some necessities that were not needed immediately.
So, the remaining part was packed into two large boxes.
She thought this was already a lot, but the day before she left, her grandfather and two brothers brought over a lot of things.
Lu Liangchen gave her money and bills; Lu Liangjing found a lot of dry goods that were easy to store: in addition to giving her money and bills, Mr. Lu also brought her self-defense items that were within the range that soldiers could carry.
That’s not all. Because the Lu family didn’t expect them to go to the border in such a hurry, they set aside a day to accompany her to go shopping.
Song Youyou couldn't refuse, so she went with them.
Although I didn't lack anything, I still bought a lot of things after walking around the department store.
When she returned home in the afternoon, she received a lot of seeds collected by Lao Wu, as well as several pairs of cotton shoes made by Wen Xiaorou.
The room was filled with all kinds of things.
Song Youyou put some of them into the space, and packed the rest into two big bags.
Before leaving, Song Youyou looked at her luggage with worry.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiao came over, picked up the two suitcases with one hand, and easily carried the two large bags on his shoulders with the other hand.
Song Youyou was stunned.
Hiss, what kind of human transporter is this?
After a moment of hesitation, she quickly followed him, "Give me some of the luggage, I can help..."
