Chapter 171: Sending New Year Gifts to Uncle Geng

The next day, when the brigade notified them to go and distribute the meat, Lu Boming dressed and went.

Su Mo had too few work points and was not eligible for a share of the meat. When Lu Boming arrived, he watched from the side.

There were a lot of people gathered at the brigade headquarters at this time. They were very surprised to see Lu Boming coming over, and they all came over to greet him.

After the meat was distributed, the remaining meat could be sold to the members. Those who were waiting to buy meat all let Lu Boming choose first.

Since Lu Boming had planned to buy meat for Su Mo, he was not modest.

This year, not only 6 New Year pigs were slaughtered, but also 6 sheep. The New Year pigs were all first-class pigs weighing about 160 kilograms, so there was a lot of meat left.

Lu Boming ordered 5 jin of pork, 2 jin of mutton, and 4 jin of spareribs, which cost him 7.12 yuan in total.

After paying, Lu Boming carried his things and prepared to go back.

Lu Baoguo hurried over and stopped him, saying, "Old Party Secretary, remember to come back to eat the pig dishes later."

This is the tradition of Lujia Village. Every year when the New Year pig is slaughtered, some of the offal and pork will be taken out to cook the pig dishes and give them to the lonely elderly or the elderly and children from poor families in the village.

So that they can also eat meat during the New Year.

Of course, there are no restrictions. As long as they are elderly or children, as long as they are not the greedy type, as long as they ask for it, the people who cook the pig dishes will also scoop one or two spoonfuls for them.

This tradition was passed down from when the Lu family was a village gentry. In the past, the Lu family paid for it, but now the brigade is doing it.

"Okay, I'll come over later." Lu Boying did not refuse.

He hasn't chatted with everyone for a long time, so it's a good time to chat later. He is now well and can contribute to the brigade again.

He heard from Xiaomo that she wanted to try to set up a vegetable group in the brigade to supply vegetables to the canteen and the troops.

These old guys can't do heavy work, but they can still grow vegetables. At that time, he will be the leader of this small group, organize these old people, and get this thing done.

By then, if this thing succeeds, it can generate income for the brigade; if it fails, it will not cause much loss to the brigade.

February 13, Sunday, Lu Changzheng finally had a day off after returning from his transfer.

The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and he was going to go to the city with his wife to buy some New Year's goods.

Su Mo packed the dried wild ginseng and prepared to go to Geng Changqing to wish him a happy new year.

"Just say that I found this wild ginseng when I came back from your camp last time." Su Mo told Lu Changzheng to avoid the two of them having different stories and being exposed.

The two first went to Geng Changqing's dormitory in the county town, but he was not there. The two went to the county government, and Geng Changqing was indeed working overtime.

When he saw Su Mo, Geng Changqing immediately praised her for the project establishment form she had prepared. This girl really impressed him more and more.

If this project establishment form is popularized, it can prevent many impulsive projects and save a lot of financial funds.

There is no need to do those projects that cannot even be clearly written.

Su Mo was embarrassed by what Geng Changqing said. This was the summary of many great masters in later generations. She dared not take credit for it.

"Uncle Geng, I saw this in a book. My uncle and his family often use it this way." Su Mo could only attribute it to foreign countries. This project establishment form was indeed spread by foreign companies at the beginning.

"Is your English good?" Geng Changqing asked. He has never studied abroad. When he was in college, he also studied Russian.

"It's okay. My father taught me before, and I read a lot of books."

"Don't waste it. Review more in private." Geng Changqing reminded that he heard some news from the old leader and the situation might change.

"Yes." Su Mo nodded, guessing that Geng Changqing had heard the news.

"Uncle Geng, this is my New Year gift for you." Su Mo carefully took out the wrapped wild ginseng from her bag.

Geng Changqing took it, opened it, and saw that it was wild ginseng, which looked quite old. His pupils shrank and he asked in surprise: "Where did you get the wild ginseng?"

"I went to the camp with Changzheng last week, and I found it on the road when I came back."

Geng Changqing: ...

He didn't know what to say.

This girl is Bu Kaishan's biological daughter, right? Why do you give her all the good things?

Geng Changqing took a look, wrapped the wild ginseng, and handed it back to Su Mo, "It's good enough as long as the thought is there, you can keep it for yourself."

This girl is going to give birth to a child soon, so he can feel more at ease if she keeps this thing for herself.

Su Mo waved her hand, "No, I have more."

...

Geng Changqing stretched out his hand, then silently took it back and put the wild ginseng away.

The chosen son of heaven, no need to be polite.

It happened that the old leader was old and not in good health. He would go to Beijing for business after the New Year, so it was just right to bring it to someone.

When leaving, Lu Changzheng invited Geng Changqing to celebrate the New Year together, "Secretary Geng, on New Year's Eve, after work, come to my house for a reunion dinner."

"Okay." Geng Changqing did not refuse. With relatives here, it was natural for him to go with them. When the time comes, I will take time to visit Brother Qian and the others.

Lu Changzheng drove Su Mo to the city. The couple went shopping first, bought a hat for Lu Boming and Lu Qingan, and a pair of shoes for Li Yue'e, spending a total of 11 yuan.

Lu Changzheng wanted to buy clothes for Su Mo, but the original owner had brought a lot of clothes, and the eldest aunt brought so much cloth. Li Yue'e made another one for her a few days ago. She really didn't need clothes to wear, so he didn't buy any.

The two went to the food market and bought some sausages, meat and dried goods, and bought a few pounds of fresh meat. Lu Changzheng would send it to the cowshed for his parents to celebrate the New Year.

The couple went shopping for a while, but there was nothing to buy, so they went home.

On the way back, Su Mo said to Lu Changzheng: "I have two wild boars in my space. Can you find a place to kill them and cut up the meat? I will eat them slowly after I collect the space."

Lu Changzheng was also surprised. His wife was amazing. She could even kill wild boars.

"Wife, wild boars are very fierce. Next time you see one, run away quickly. Take care of yourself. We don't need that piece of meat."

Although his wife is a superpower, her ability doesn't seem to be very powerful.

"I know. When I saw it, the wild boar was already dead. I just picked it up."

"How did it die? Can it still be eaten?" This dead wild boar can't be picked up casually. What if it ate some poisonous grass or something? Then all of them will be knocked down.

"It can be eaten. I picked it up right after it died. I saw it bleeding a lot. I guess it was shot."

Lu Changzheng secretly mourned for the militia hunting team. It was so hard to kill a prey, but his wife missed it.

Where to kill it? Lu Changzheng was a little troubled. If he killed it at home, the wild boar's bloody smell would be very strong. Anyone who came or passed by would be able to smell it.

It's better to find an opportunity to go to the mountains, drain the blood, and peel it directly. Take advantage of the snow, and when the snow covers it, there will be no trace left.

"Wife, after the New Year, I'll find a chance to kill in the mountains."

Su Mo nodded, and that's what she was thinking.
