Chapter 287: Chatting 2

"How can Zhao Jiuxiang be so obedient?" Lu Xiaolan wondered, Zhao Jiuxiang was a troublemaker.

"Of course not, he was noisy at the beginning, and after you left, he came home to make trouble with your second sister-in-law. I was at work that day and was not there. I heard from Daya that Lu Fubao came and got very angry, saying that if he made trouble again, he would move out and cut off all ties with Zhao Jiuxiang. Zhao Jiuxiang cared about her son the most, so she was frightened when she heard it."

"Last year, Lao Shitou went up the mountain to collect firewood and broke his leg. The family relied on Lu Fubao to support it, and Zhao Jiuxiang dared not make trouble anymore."

"The second son's daughter is also a useless softie." Liu Yuzhi felt a little disappointed. "Zhao Jiuxiang didn't treat her as a concubine at all. She has been tough for less than two years. When Zhao Jiuxiang showed some goodwill, she cried to her several times. I heard from Guodong that she is now secretly giving money to her mother every month."

"If it were me, I would ignore it and pretend that there is no such mother." Liu Yuzhi sneered. She was thinking about what to say when Lu Guihua's voice came from the yard.

Liu Yuzhi was startled. This really couldn't be said behind people's backs. She didn't know if Lu Guihua heard it.

Lu Guihua came here with Li Yue'e. Li Yue'e brought some food, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and so on.

When Su Mo went to Guangzhou before, the remaining food and daily necessities in the house were given to the three elderly people. Now that they are back, the family must cook, so Li Yue'e also prepared some food.

Su Mo quickly got off the kang to take the things and put them away, and then the five mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law chatted together on the kang in the west room.

When Su Mo and Lu Xiaolan wrote letters, they would also talk about things in Guangzhou, and sometimes they would send some photos back. Li Yue'e and the others have been very interested in Guangzhou for a long time. This time when they came back, they were asked to talk about it. It's a pity that writing letters is not as good as verbal expression.

Lu Xiaolan is also a good speaker, and she immediately talked to them.

"...You don't know, I was stunned when I saw such a tall building. I counted, there are 27 floors, and the walls are painted so white." Lu Xiaolan said with joy.

"That's not a painted wall, it's a tiled wall." Su Mo corrected.

"Oh, yes, ceramic tiles. Ceramic tiles are very white, and when they get dirty, they look like new again just by wiping them with a rag. They are really great." Lu Xiaolan roughly explained to everyone what ceramic tiles are.

"There are a lot of foreigners in Guangzhou. When I first saw them, I didn't dare to look at them."

"Those foreigners have hair of many colors, including yellow, red, and brown. They are all very white, with blue eyes and pointed noses."

"There are a lot of cars on the road in Guangzhou, including trams and tricycles. There is a bus every half an hour, unlike here, where there is only one bus a day. There are also a lot of bicycles. There was a traffic jam at the place where my third sister-in-law worked before. My third sister-in-law took photos and showed them to me."

"We have brought the photos back, third sister-in-law, show them to everyone."

Su Mo has a camera. When the family goes out to play, they will also take some photos. This time, she brought them all back. After hearing Lu Xiaolan's words, Su Mo went to get them and passed them around for everyone to see.

Liu Yuzhi and Lu Guihua were surprised and envious when they saw the huge army of bicycles, and they also had a desire to go there.

Their brigade was one of the best in Hongqi Commune, and there were no more than 10 bicycles in the entire brigade.

There must be thousands of bicycles in the photo, and those people were dressed very decently. No wonder everyone wanted to go to the city.

Li Yue'e paid more attention to the daily life photos. When she saw the photo of Su Tingqian and Mo Yurong holding the two little ones, she asked: "Xiaomo, are these my in-laws?"

"Yes, these are my parents."

"They are so handsome, and you can tell at a glance that they are cultured people." Li Yue'e praised.

"Uncle Su and Aunt Mo are very nice people. They come to help whenever they have time and often buy things for me." Lu Xiaolan followed.

Lu Xiaolan helped to look after the children, and Su Tingqian and his wife were also very polite. From time to time, they bought Lu Xiaolan some things, such as vanishing cream, hair oil or cloth shoes.

Li Yue'e patted Lu Xiaolan, "You kid, you are working, but you still accept things from others."

Su Mo waved her hand and spoke well of her parents, "I am the only one in my family. Xiaolan is very cute, and my parents also treat her as their daughter."

Li Yue'e was both happy and relieved. Lu Xiaolan had written to her before that the Su family was a capitalist in Haishi before liberation. Logically speaking, ordinary capitalists would have been overthrown long ago. The fact that the Su family can still look like this shows that their status is not ordinary.

Li Yue'e was not an ignorant village woman, she had also attended a private school. She knew very well that in the past, such a family would not marry into their family, after all, they were of different social classes.

She was also unsure in her heart, after all, she had never met her in-laws and was afraid that they would look down on them. Now it seems that the Su family is a very good family.

Lu Xiaolan introduced them to some of the conditions in Guangzhou based on the photo, and then talked about taking a plane. Lu Xiaolan gave a long description, which made Liu Yuzhi envious.

"I want to take one later." Liu Yuzhi said. "Sister-in-law, I guess you can't bear to leave

." Lu Xiaolan smiled, "It takes more than four hours from Guangzhou to Beijing, and the air ticket is 81 yuan." "What? So expensive? Then you must have spent hundreds of dollars on this trip?" Li Yue'e exclaimed. She didn't know that it would cost so much to go back, and she would not have let them come back if she had known. "Mom, we can spend the money later. We haven't been back for almost two years, so we have to come back to visit." Su Mo said. "Oh, this is too expensive. Is it expensive to take the train? How much is it?" " To Guangzhou, the train is about 40 yuan." Lu Xiaolan had taken it once, so she knew the fare. "Then you should take the train when you go back." Li Yue'e said. Although she also wanted the children to stay at home for a while longer, she felt sorry for the money. Everything costs money in big cities. She was reluctant to spend the money she had saved on travel expenses. As soon as Li Yue'e finished speaking, Lele's voice came from the door, "No, it takes too long to take the bus. I want to take a plane." Li Yue'e saw Lele coming over, and quickly got off the kang and carried Lele up, "It's better to take the bus. It saves money. Taking a plane costs money." Lele waved his hand, "If we want to take a plane, Dad can make money. When Lele grows up, Lele will also make money." Lu Xiaolan smiled and said, "Mom, it takes a long time to take a train. When my third sister-in-law and I went there, we stayed on the train for almost ten days. We were almost going crazy." "The smell on the train is so bad that you have to vomit. It smells like stinky feet. There is a toilet in every carriage. I don't even want to describe the smell. Try staying in the toilet for a few days and you will know."

Li Yue'e was so angry that she slapped Lu Xiaolan again, "Girl, you've only been in the city for a few days, and you're already so arrogant? What's wrong with taking the train? So many people want to take it but can't. And so many people are happy to just sit there without having to work. What's wrong with a little smell? You ate chicken shit when you were a kid."

"Mom, don't say that!" After hearing what Li Yue'e said, Lu Xiaolan instantly felt disgusted and felt that her mouth smelled like chicken shit.

Lu Xiaolan's expression instantly made everyone laugh, and Lele also giggled.

"Shame on you, little aunt, you actually ate chicken shit." Lele made a face, and Lu Xiaolan was so angry that she tickled him, and the aunt and nephew started to fight.

After this, everyone stopped talking about the topic of riding in the car and started talking about things in the brigade.

"Mom, I heard from Daquan's wife two days ago that Aunt Cuihua seemed to be dying."

Lu Xiaolan was startled and asked hurriedly, "What happened to her?"

"She said something grew in her stomach and she was bleeding from time to time. She went to the county hospital, but they said it couldn't be cured and sent her to the hospital in Harbin. Two months ago, Lu Xingyou took her to Harbin for treatment. He came back crying and said it couldn't be cured."

"Half a month ago, mom asked me to send a piece of meat there. I went to take a look and saw that she was as thin as a bag of bones. It seemed that she didn't have much time left."

Although Li Yue'e didn't get along with Li Cuihua, their husbands were both brigade cadres, so they still had to do the favors on the surface.

"People! Don't say anything too much. Li Cuihua has been strong all her life. Who would have thought that she would get such a disease when she was old." Li Yue'e also sighed. She and Li Cuihua had been separated for a lifetime, and now she was going to die suddenly. She was very upset.

Su Mo listened to their descriptions and guessed that it was uterine cancer or something like that. According to the current medical level, it is indeed incurable.

She still remembered that when she first came here, Li Cuihua was passionate about her for a while in order to match her with Lu Changzheng.

Then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked a lot of gossip about other people in the team, but Su Mo didn't know them very well, but Lu Xiaolan listened with relish. A few people were chatting until they heard the voices of Lu Changzheng and Lu Guoping in the yard. They were surprised that it was already evening and prepared to go home to cook.

Lele had been annoyed by the adults gossiping, and now he heard his father's voice and yelled to go out. Su Mo put on his shoes and thick cotton jacket and sent him out.

"Xiao Mo, we're still going to have dinner at home tonight. Mom will go back to cook first." Li Yue'e said.

"Okay."

Su Mo just responded when she heard Lele's exclamation in the yard, "Dad, is this a wild boar? Dad is so great!"

When they heard Lele's voice, they all hurried out. A small wild boar was killed by the well in the yard. Lu Changzheng and Lu Guoping were each carrying a large bundle of firewood to the utility room.

"Old Third, did you go up the mountain?" Li Yue'e asked in surprise. It was snowing heavily, and he went up the mountain right after returning.

"I went to the mountain to get some firewood. I was lucky enough to meet a small wild boar." Lu Changzheng said, "Mom, go and call my eldest brother to help."

"There is enough firewood at home. You have burned it all. Just go and get some. It's so cold. Don't go up the mountain and freeze, and drag Guoping with you." Li Yue'e said, and then hurried over to call people.

The third brother killed the wild boar, so there was no shortage of meat during this period.

Su Mo and Lu Xiaolan went to make a fire to boil water. While the fire was burning, Lu Xiaolan suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen An An for the whole afternoon, so she asked, "Third sister-in-law, where is An An?"

"She's probably still sleeping. I'll go in and take a look." Su Mo turned and went into the room.

When they were chatting before, Su Mo had already gone to see An An. She was awake at that time and said she wanted to try to absorb the ice element in the air. Su Mo didn't disturb her and even restrained Le Le, not letting him go.

When Su Mo came in, An An opened his eyes from his meditation.

"How is the effect?" Su Mo asked. If this works, then in Yangcheng, it might not be conducive to An An's cultivation of supernatural powers.

"It has little effect."

"How about we try it in the snow some other day? My wood-related ability also needs to be absorbed by the plants themselves to be effective."

"Okay."

Su Mo handed her clothes, "Your father has killed a wild boar, put on your clothes and go out to take a look."

After An An put on her clothes, she went out to watch them kill the wild boar with Le Le. Le Le was very excited and kept asking questions. An An stared at Le Le and told him not to get too close to avoid spilling blood.

After the wild boar was killed, Lu Changzheng divided the meat into three portions, one for his family, one for the Lu family, and one for Lu Guoping.

Lu Guoping didn't want it at first, but after Lu Changzheng said so, he took it.

Some scraps were taken to Lu's house to be cooked with pig dishes tonight. In the evening, when Lu Weiguo came home from work, the whole family had a reunion dinner.

After dinner, Su Mo took the pig heart soup from the pot, picked out the wild ginseng and shared it with the two children, and sent Lu Changzheng to bring the soup over to Lu Boying to drink while it was still hot.

As soon as Lu Boying took a sip, he knew that the soup was stewed with wild ginseng, and guessed that it was the one that Su Mo brought to Guangzhou as a backup.

"Changzheng, it's you who are being dragged down."

At that time, he thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't bear to see the person who made such a contribution die of illness, so he cut some wild ginseng for that person. Unexpectedly, the person was so seriously ill that it took most of the wild ginseng to save him.

He was still healthy at that time, and thought that if he took good care of it, he would not need the wild ginseng anymore. But he was so disappointing that he saved several children and then became ill and could not get up, becoming a burden to his children and grandchildren.

"Grandpa, don't say that. We can't live without you to keep us in good health. If the ginseng is used up, there will be more in the future. I heard that some places have begun to plant wild ginseng artificially. When it is not so scarce, we can just buy more." Su Mo's secret must not be told, so she could only comfort the old man in this way.

Lu Changzheng scooped the soup for Lu Boming to drink, and helped him to sleep before going back.

After returning home, the couple discussed Lu Boming's health problems. In addition to giving wild ginseng, Su Mo also gave Lu Boming some food that could induce labor from time to time. The couple also planned to use the same method this time.

As for vegetables, Su Mo still had a lot of space, so she asked Lu Changzheng to find a reason to take them out in the next two days. There were few fruits in the north, and in winter, there were only apples and pears. Lu Boming often coughed, and Su Mo estimated that he must have injured his lungs before, so she prepared to get more pears.

After Su Mo reached level 4, she was able to completely induce a pear tree seed to bear fruit.

After the children fell asleep, Su Mo took a pear tree seed here and started to induce labor. Even after watching it many times, Lu Changzheng still found it very magical.

Half an hour later, a pear tree full of fruits stood in the middle of the house. In order to make the pears bear as many fruits as possible, Su Mo almost exhausted her special abilities. Her face turned pale, so she went to the side to rest and asked Lu Changzheng to pick the pears.

While Lu Changzheng was picking the pears, he noticed some movement on the kang. He looked over and saw that Lele had already sat up.
