Chapter 137 Auntie is Back

During breakfast, Su Mo learned from Su Yichen that they were going to leave tomorrow.

The holiday was limited and the journey was long, so Su Mo couldn't keep them. After breakfast, she got busy.

She took out the pork that Su Yichen bought yesterday and chopped it up, and went to the west room to grab a few handfuls of dried hazel mushrooms and soaked them. Su Mo was going to make some mushroom meat sauce for them to take back and mix with rice.

"Xiao Mo, don't worry, we can just buy food on the train." Fu Manhua thought Su Mo was making food for them on the train.

"Auntie, here's the mushroom meat sauce I made. Uncle hasn't eaten anything I made yet, you can take it back and let him try it." Su Mo said.

Fu Manhua smiled when she heard it, "Okay. By then, your uncle will probably be able to eat three more bowls of rice."

Fortunately, Li Yue'e brought some soybean paste last time. Although the effect may not be as good as bean paste, it is also very fragrant.

When Su Mo was making it, Fu Manhua smelled it very fragrant. When it was done, she immediately scooped a mouthful to taste it.

"It's delicious! Xiao Mo, not to mention your uncle, your aunt will eat three more bowls of rice." Fu Manhua raised her thumb and said.

The meat sauce is ready, but what to use to package it is another problem.

Su Mo thought that she seemed to have seen canned fruit bottles at Lu's house before, so she prepared to go to Lu's house to ask for them.

When Li Yue'e heard Su Mo say that Fu Manhua and the others were leaving tomorrow, she quickly found all the cans and gave them to Su Mo, and then she got busy herself.

There were five bottles in total, and Su Mo estimated that they were just enough.

She washed the bottles, and when the mushroom meat sauce was almost cold, Su Mo bottled and sealed them. After filling five bottles, there was still some left, which she saved for noodles at noon.

Lunch was more casual. Su Mo made some hand-rolled noodles, paired with fresh vegetables picked from the house, and mixed with mushroom meat sauce. It was so delicious that Fu Manhua ate two big bowls.

In the afternoon, Su Mo started making dumplings again.

The ingredients were limited, so she only prepared two fillings. One was leek and egg filling, and the other was cabbage and oil residue filling.

The leeks were also freshly cut from the house. Although they were a little tender, they were green and pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Su Mo's skilled look, Fu Manhua sighed: "Xiao Mo, you have suffered."

Su Mo blinked and smiled: "Aunt, it's not hard. How many people can't eat white flour dumplings."

Fu Manhua touched Su Mo's head, her eyes were a little moist.

This is a good child!

In the afternoon, Li Yue'e came over with a backpack full of things for Fu Manhua.

"Sister, I heard from Xiao Mo that you will be back tomorrow, and we don't have anything good here, so I got some local specialties for you." Li Yue'e said as she took things out.

"This wolf skin was caught by the brigade two years ago. Take it back and make a pair of knee pads for your uncle-in-law. I heard that the south is very humid. You must protect your knees in winter." "

This dried river fish was caught from the river in front of the brigade. The meat is very fragrant. Take it back. When cooking, cut some shredded ginger and add a little soy sauce to steam it. It tastes good with rice or steamed buns."

"This bacon rabbit meat is also caught in the mountains. It is dried and there is no need to worry about it going bad. Take it back and eat it." As he said this, he took out three pieces of bacon rabbit meat.

"These hazel mushrooms and walnuts were given by my eldest daughter-in-law. This braised lamb leg was given by my second daughter-in-law."

"There are not many good things in the countryside, please don't despise them."

Fu Manhua was stunned for a moment when she saw Li Yue'e taking so many things. After hearing what Li Yue'e said, she hurriedly said:

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Which of these is not a good thing? In the south, they are all hard to find."

"I came here empty-handed, and I took so many when I left. How can I feel embarrassed?"

If the journey was not long, I should really bring more gifts.

"Big sister, don't say that. The quality and pattern of the fabric you gave us cannot be bought in our place. These things of mine were all picked up in the mountains, please don't despise them."

The two exchanged some "traditional Chinese Kung Fu" before Li Yue'e left.

Because they had to leave early the next morning, Fu Manhua packed her things and went to bed early.

The next day, at around three in the morning, Su Mo got up quietly, heated water in one pot and cooked dumplings in another.

Su Yichen said that two survey teams were going back to Beijing today, and the army had a car to take them to the train station, so they could just take a ride together.

Lu Changzheng had already made arrangements and would come to the brigade headquarters to pick them up at around five in the morning.

Not long after, the mother and son also got up, washed up, and ate hot dumplings again.

Su Mo cooked all the dumplings and put the rest in lunch boxes for the mother and son. If there was not enough space, she put it in an enamel pot with a lid.

"Aunt, you can take these dumplings with you. Get some hot water on the train and put them in there to warm them up. Homemade dumplings taste better than the food on the train."

"Okay." Fu Manhua nodded, her eyes already a little wet. "Xiao Mo, you have to be well. If you have anything, just call us."

"Okay." Su Mo nodded, feeling sad.

When the time was about right, the three of them carried their luggage to the brigade headquarters.

The weather was relatively good today and it didn't snow.

When they passed by Lu's house, Lu Qing'an and his wife, Lu Xingjun, and Lu Weiguo all stood up to see them off. Even Lu Boying went to the intersection and talked to the mother and son for a while.

Several people sent the two all the way to the brigade headquarters, and after waiting for less than five minutes, the car that came to pick them up arrived.

After getting in the car, Fu Manhua rolled down the window and waved with tears in her eyes.

After this farewell, I don't know when we will see each other again.

"Xiaomo, take care!" Su Yichen said to Su Mo before driving away.

"Yeah! Big brother, take care of yourself too!" Su Mo also had tears in her eyes. She was still not very good at leaving.

After the car drove away and could no longer be seen, the few people went back.

Li Yue'e patted Su Mo on the back and comforted her: "Xiaomo, don't be sad. When the third brother has a vacation in the future, let him accompany you back to your mother's home."

Su Mo nodded.

After arriving home, Su Mo felt that the house was a little empty again.

People are like this. They adapt to the days with many people, and then suddenly they are alone, and they will feel empty.

Su Mo sighed, thinking about going to the west room to put away the bedding.

The bedding in the west room had been neatly folded by Su Yichen and placed on the kang. Next to the bedding, there was a stack of money.

Thirty-one yuan and eighty cents.

Su Mo held back her tears for the whole morning, and cried in an instant.

I'm afraid that the eldest brother only kept the bus fare and gave her the rest of the money!
