Chapter 150 Mother-in-law comes to take over

After lunch, Su Mo strolled to the commune post office again, thinking of subscribing to a year's issue of "Science Bulletin", but was told that the publication was suspended.

Su Mo: ...

Not knowing about history is really harmful.

Well, the plan was disrupted again.

But she clearly saw in the history book that a big man published a paper in this publication in 1973.

Su Mo estimated that it should be resumed soon.

Then she would use this time to do more research and collect more materials. If it is effective, it would be ok to publish it in the local newspaper first to accumulate some fame.

Already at the post office, Su Mo thought about calling her uncle. It was lunch break now, and he might be at home.

After the call was connected, it was Su Tingde who answered. Su Mo greeted him first, then told him that she had started working today, and told him that Lu Changzheng had been promoted to the head of the regiment and was transferred back, and also told him that she was pregnant.

Su Tingde was so happy that their Su family was going to have another generation.

"Momo, what do you want to eat? Tell uncle, and uncle will get it and mail it to you."

Su Mo smiled, "Uncle, no need, I have enough food here."

"Then uncle will send you money to buy food."

Su Mo quickly refused, "Uncle, really no need, I have a salary now, and I have royalties, and the salary for the Long March has also increased. It is considered a high-income class here. If you send me money again, it will be too conspicuous."

Su Tingde choked, Momo's words made sense.

"Then if you want anything, be sure to tell uncle."

"Okay." Su Mo agreed, and then asked, "Uncle, was the mushroom meat sauce delicious last time?"

"It's especially delicious." Su Tingde laughed and praised him a lot.

He was so happy that his niece gave him such a gift that he ate two more bowls of rice at every meal.

Su Mo heard that Su Tingde was so happy, so she thought about making a few more cans for him and mailing them over.

The uncle and nephew talked about family matters for a while, and Su Tingde hinted that the matter of Hai Shi had been settled, so Su Mo didn't have to worry.

The phone was expensive, so after they finished talking, they hung up. It took them five minutes and cost 5.5 yuan.

When Fu Manhua and the others came before, Su Mo discussed with them whether the hidden things would be found by the other party.

The two of them reassured Su Mo at the time, saying that even those of them who knew the hiding place had not found the entrance. Unless those people blatantly dug three feet into the ground, the chances of finding it were extremely low.

After they go back, they will also find someone to secretly watch the three houses.

Su Mo was thinking at the time whether she should take the risk to go back to Haishi and put the things into the space. After listening to what the two said, she gave up the idea.

Since she couldn't find it herself, it meant that it was hidden well. She should not go back. It would be bad if someone spotted it and led them to the place.

After all, her space is not big. What if there are a lot of things and she can't put them all away, leaving traces for others to use as wedding dresses, then it would be a loss.

This is what Su Tingde said just now. Someone has been arranged to watch the house, so she doesn't have to worry.

Su Mo paid the phone bill and was about to leave when she was stopped by the postman, who said that there were letters and remittance slips for her.

Su Mo saw that the money sent by Haishi Newspaper was the royalties for December, which was less than before, only 18 yuan.

Su Mo turned around and took the remittance, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some coal.

Shuangshan City is known as the coal city of the north, and there is no shortage of coal here.

Su Mo used to think that the 20 kilograms of coal per month were distributed to take home and burn, but now she knows that it is used for heating in the office.

She was in the office in the morning, and it was okay at first, but the more she sat, the colder it became, just like an ice cellar.

She asked why there was an iron basin in the office, and it turned out to be used for burning coal.

Su Mo gave Lu Xiaolan the purchase permit for 20 kilograms of coal that was issued in the morning and stamped with the seal of the commune. Lu Xiaolan specially picked a large piece of durable coal for Su Mo, and also brought a lot of fine firewood for Su Mo to start the coal.

Thanks to the coal city, the coal here is not expensive, and 20 pounds cost only 34 cents.

After carrying the coal, Su Mo went back. She lit the coal and put it next to the desk, so it was not so cold.

She wrote furiously again in the afternoon.

It gets dark early in winter, and the work ends at 5:30 in the afternoon. When the time came, Su Mo packed up her things and prepared to go back.

Before leaving, Su Mo frowned when she noticed the coal next to her.

It was only an afternoon, and it was estimated that more than one pound of coal had been burned. These 20 pounds would not last long. It seems that she should be more frugal in the future, or bring some firewood.

Su Mo was still thinking that she might go back. As soon as she walked out of the office building, she saw Li Yue'e waiting outside with a donkey cart.

Seeing Su Mo coming out, Li Yue'e waved her hand and said, "Xiao Mo, come here quickly. Mom is here to pick you up from work."

Su Mo was really shocked and moved, "Mom, you came specially to pick me up from work?" Although it didn't snow today, it was still very cold with the cold wind.

"Yes, come up quickly. Mom's donkey cart is driving steadily. The third brother went into the mountains and can't come to pick you up." Li Yue'e smiled, and after Su Mo got on the car, she drove the donkey cart and walked away slowly.

Yang Jingming, who came out a step later, was secretly shocked when he saw it. After picking up Lu Xiaolan at the supply and marketing cooperative, he told her about it.

"It seems that mother likes the third sister-in-law very much. She even drove a donkey to pick her up from work." Yang Jingming said.

"The third sister-in-law is pregnant. Mother is afraid that she will ride a bicycle back home. It's not safe on the road." Lu Xiaolan said, her tone was a little depressed.

Li Yue'e came early today. Before that, she had already gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Lu Xiaolan to talk about this. Lu Xiaolan was naturally very happy for her brother and sister-in-law, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she thought of herself.

Yang Jingming choked, then turned to comfort her: "Xiaolan, don't worry. The doctor said that there is no problem for both of us. We are still young, and it's not too late to have children."

Yang Jingming was also under some pressure. He was the only son in his family, and the burden of carrying on the family line fell on him. It would be great if he had more brothers like Xiaolan's family, so his parents wouldn't keep urging him.

"Go back and tell mom to stop cooking those things for me." Lu Xiaolan said.

She didn't want to conflict with her mother-in-law, so she thought she could just pour it out secretly like her third sister-in-law and aunt said.

Everything was fine at first, but one time, when she was pouring, she was discovered by her elder sister-in-law who came back suddenly. After that, whenever her mother-in-law cooked something, she had to watch her drink it.

"Okay, I'll go tell my mother to tell her not to cook it for you anymore. If she cooks it for you again, I'll drink it." Yang Jingming said.

He also felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and told her several times, but her mother just wouldn't listen. It seems that he still has to be tough.

Lu Xiaolan felt comforted that her husband was willing to stand up for her.

After all, the mother-in-law is not her own mother, so how good do you think she is to you? As long as her husband knows how to sympathize with her, she will just make do with it.

On the way back, Li Yue'e said to Su Mo: "Xiao Mo, from now on, when you go

to and from work, mother will drive you by donkey." Su Mo waved her hands repeatedly, "Mom, no need, I can just ride my bike, it will only take half an hour."

"The road is slippery in snowy weather, it's not safe to ride a bike, and you are pregnant. Your father and I have discussed it, and it's settled." Li Yue'e made the final decision.

"Mom, it's okay, I..." It's so cold, how can I let the old man go in the wind and snow.

"Xiao Mo, if you ride a bike, mother will worry at home. Anyway, it's winter now, and mother has nothing to do." Li Yue'e waved her hands.

Su Mo persuaded her a few more times, but Li Yue'e was still unmoved, so Su Mo thought of letting Lu Changzheng go to talk.

She really didn't think there was anything wrong with riding a bicycle back and forth.
