Chapter 234 Countdown to Departure
At the end of March, the army sent a message saying that the formalities had been completed and Su Mo could leave at any time. They
also asked Su Mo to buy a ticket to Guangzhou and send a telegram to the army so that they could arrange for someone to pick her up at the train station.
After Lu Xiaolan confirmed that they would go together, Su Mo called the division commander again and asked for one more person, so Lu Xiaolan's side was also completed.
Su Mo's recruitment exam was on April 25th, and Su Mo was going to leave on the 3rd. It was not a good idea to rush with the child. Su Mo estimated that she would be on the road for eleven or twelve days, and she would have to adapt when she got there.
Give yourself more time, so you don't have to be too anxious.
March 31st was a Saturday, Su Mo's last day at work, and Li Hongjun and Fu Ming held a simple farewell party for Su Mo.
Although she had only worked here for one year and three months, the relationship between colleagues was generally pleasant, and Su Mo was reluctant to leave.
Before leaving, Fu Ming said to Su Mo: "Comrade Su Mo, I wish you a bright future, and come back often when you have time."
He always felt that this woman would not be trapped in this small place, and now she has indeed flown to a bigger stage.
"Thank you, the same for you." Su Mo smiled, this Fu Ming is Uncle Geng's confidant, and she will have a good future if she follows Uncle Geng in the future.

After returning home, Su Mo began to pack her things. Since learning that Su Mo was leaving on the 3rd, Li Yue'e has been treating the two little ones like babies, taking care of them day and night. These days, the two little ones have been living at Lu's place.
It is not convenient to carry too many things with children, so Su Mo plans to send everything except what is needed on the road.
With Lu Xiaolan accompanying her, it is not easy for her to store the things. Anyway, the things are not too many, so she does not feel bad about the postage.
Su Mo does not plan to take the quilt with her, otherwise she will have nothing to cover herself with when she comes back. Guangzhou is only cold for a few days, so there is no need for such thick quilts. Besides, it is summer in Guangzhou now, so a thin quilt will be enough.
When winter is about to come, she will send money back and ask her family to go to the commune to make two thinner quilts and send them over.
Su Mo packed her own and her children's clothes and shoes, and put the things she needed on the road into a small suitcase, and the rest into a large suitcase, and the rest was wrapped in a cloth.
When the time came, she would take them to the post office together with the large suitcase to mail them.
There were some odds and ends left, so Su Mo put some of them into the space, and packed the rest and mailed them together.
She gave all the food to Lu Boying, and he could do whatever he wanted with it.
But there was a problem, that was the sewing machine and the bicycle, which were all useful things, and it would be a waste to leave them here, and she really didn't want to buy them again when she arrived in Guangzhou.
But she didn't know if it was safe to mail them. In this day and age, it was not uncommon for things to be lost when they were sent by mail.
This time was not like later times, where you could get an insurance policy. If something was lost, the post office would only pay a symbolic amount of compensation.
The next day, Su Mo and Lu Xiaolan took the things to the post office to mail them. Su Mo also asked the staff at the post office if they could mail bicycles and sewing machines.
This staff member was also seeing someone mailing these things for the first time, and he did not dare to guarantee their safety, after all, people's minds were unpredictable.
Su Mo's hair was very bald, was she really going to put it here to keep cool?
If she sold it, that would not work, after all, these things were the betrothal gifts that Lu Changzheng bought when they got married.
After sending the package, Su Mo called Su Tingqian and Su Tingde again, telling them that she would leave on the 3rd and the approximate time she would arrive in Guangzhou.
Coming out of the post office, she ran into Tao Peisheng. After asking Su Mo why she was leaving on the 3rd, Tao Peisheng said that he would take Su Mo and the others to the city to catch a bus that day.
Knowing that Su Mo wanted to mail a bicycle and a sewing machine, Tao Peisheng said, "I happen to have a relative who works in the railway department. With his connections, we can use the railway logistics method to transport the things to Guangzhou by train."
"But this requires you to pick up the things yourself at the train station. Do you think it's possible?"
"Yes, yes, thank you so much, Captain Tao." Su Mo nodded vigorously. As long as it can be solved, she can find someone to move the things back when the time comes.
In the evening, Su Mo went to Lu's house and explained everything in the house to several elders. After all, she was afraid that she would not be able to come back for two or three years, and the house had to be looked after by the elders.
Li Yue'e was crying when she heard it. Seeing Li Yue'e like that, Su Mo felt very uncomfortable and tears welled up in her eyes.
After explaining, Su Mo said to Lu Boming: "Grandpa, I have something to tell you alone."
Lu Boming nodded, and the grandfather and grandson went to Lu Boming's room.
After entering the room, Su Mo took out something wrapped in flannel from the bag and handed it to Lu Boming, "Grandpa, keep this."
"This was discovered by Changzheng when the road was opened in the mining area. Keep it. If you feel unwell, eat it. Changzheng and I hope you can live a long life and have a good life in the future."
This wild ginseng was specially prepared by Su Mo for Lu Boming. It took two months to grow. It is a century-old ginseng. She had given Lu Changzheng an excuse before.
Lu Boming opened it and was shocked to see another wild ginseng.
"Xiaomo, this..." Lu Boming wrapped the things and handed them back to Su Mo, "Grandpa is old, it's very lucky to live a few more years, don't waste good things."
"This thing is rare, take it to Guangzhou. The third brother is back to the front line now, it is inevitable that there will be danger, with this thing, Grandpa will feel more at ease. And your parents, I guess they have suffered a lot, take it over and cut some for them to replenish their bodies."
Su Mo waved her hand, "Grandpa, you keep it, I have a small one, we only need that one."
"You are our treasure. As long as you are here, our family can settle down, so please don't be reluctant to let you go. To us, you are more important than ten or eight wild ginsengs."
Lu Boying was very touched when he heard Su Mo say this, and he didn't push the wild ginseng back.
"Okay, since you value me so much, I will help you guard the back, and you can go ahead and explore."
This couple is a lucky couple. It's hard for others to find one wild ginseng, but they can find three. This means that God is optimistic about them.
Their Lu family is really going to have an extraordinary person!
He really needs to live well to see how the Lu family will develop in the future.
Because Lu Xiaolan was about to leave, she stayed at Lu's house and slept with Li Yue'e. After Su Mo went back, she fell asleep.
At about one o'clock in the middle of the night, Su Mo got up secretly, went up the mountain alone, and began to absorb and output superpowers in a cycle until her superpowers reached the third level.
