Chapter 293 Ma Xiaojuan Prepares Her Wedding Dress
After eating the noodles, Cao Yatou left in a hurry.
She didn't dare to stay any longer. Her aunt's house was too warm and the food was too delicious. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be reluctant to leave.
She must study hard and live the same life as her aunt in the future.
"Mom, why did my sister cry when she ate noodles? Is the noodles not delicious?" Lele was a little confused.
Su Mo sighed. She probably understood Cao Yatou's mood. This child has felt too little kindness since she was a child. I'm afraid no one has ever cooked a bowl of noodles like this for her.
Teacher Gu left today. Her mood was already fragile. After eating such food, her mood collapsed.
"No, the noodles are delicious. Sister cried because the noodles were so delicious."
"Ah? Why? Shouldn't you smile if something is delicious?"
"Because sister's parents died when she was very young, she had a hard life and never had such good food since she was a child."
Lele was a little confused. Are noodles good things? He eats them every one or two days.
Seeing Lele like this, Su Mo explained to him, "Lele, there are still many people in our country who don't have enough to eat. There are many people like the sister just now. They have been eating coarse grains like sweet potatoes and corn since childhood. They can only have a bite of noodles and rice like the ones just now during the Chinese New Year."
"How pitiful! I will eat noodles well in the future." Hearing that others can only eat the things he often eats during the Chinese New Year, Lele felt a little uncomfortable, "I should have given my sister a few more candies just now."
"Yes, Lele can give his sister a few more candies, but what about other people Lele doesn't know? Lele doesn't have so much candies, right?" Su Mo took the opportunity to teach her son.
"Mom once told Lele the story of 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish', do you remember it?"
"I remember that it is better to teach him how to fish than to give him a fish, so that he will always have fish to eat."
"Yes. The reason they can't eat rice is that our country is too poor and the grain production is too low to feed so many people. There are two ways to improve the situation. One is to make the country rich. As long as we have money, we can buy food from other places if we don't have enough food. The other is to improve the grain varieties and increase grain production."
"The elders have already made efforts to grow food, but there is still a long way to go for our country to become prosperous. When Lele grows up, he will work hard to make more people prosperous, so that everyone can eat rice and not go hungry."
The fastest-growing decade in China was from 2001 to 2010, and it was the world of Lele and his generation.
After listening, Lele seemed to understand but didn't quite understand, but still responded: "Okay, Lele will work hard when he grows up so that everyone will not go hungry."
After explaining the reason to Lele, Su Mo went to call Geng Changqing. Fu Ming answered the phone and said that Geng Changqing was in a meeting and would come over in two days. After
Geng Changqing was transferred to Shuangshan City, Fu Ming was transferred to the city with him and became Geng Changqing's secretary.
Two days later, Geng Changqing brought two secretaries to Lujia Village together. Geng Changqing came here, in addition to reuniting with Su Mo's family, but also for another purpose, which was to come and see Lu Boming on behalf of the leader.
The leader knew Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Jiang and his people returned to Beijing by plane and arrived that day. After the leader learned from Mr. Jiang that Lu Boming was ill, he called and entrusted him to come and visit.
Lunch was eaten at Lu's house, and after the meal, the three of them returned to the house over there to talk about things.
"There are hundreds of people nationwide who have been rehabilitated this time, and the list was approved by the leaders above. They are all cadres who have contributed to the country and outstanding talents in all walks of life." Geng Changqing said.
"These people are reinstated in principle, and those who cannot be reinstated are also placed in important positions."
"Those people are now a little desperate, and they may be desperate. It is said that they are now preparing to purchase guns and ammunition, and want to arm the militia in Hai City. You must be careful during this period."
Geng Changqing had already informed Su Tingde and Su Tingqian a few days ago. If those people really control Hai City by force, then the Su family's things will probably not be hidden. Su Tingqian is also ready to lose money. Compared with money, people are more important.
Once those people tear their faces apart, regardless of anything, and directly dig blatantly, then no matter how well they hide, they will not be able to hide.
The reason why they can hide now is because those people still have a fig leaf on their faces. Although they have already exposed their fangs in private, they dare not be too rampant in public and can only look for them secretly. Now
is a critical moment, and Geng Changqing is also very busy. After finishing his work, he rushed back to Shuangshan City.
After Geng Changqing left, Su Mo started to think about it.
If this trend continues, those people may fall early, and the progress of other things may also be advanced. It is time for her to prepare.
The next day, Ma Xiaojuan came to find Su Mo and asked her to accompany her to buy dowry. She and Tao Peisheng had already obtained the marriage certificate two days ago. On the 15th, they planned to set up two simple tables in the army to liven up the party.
Ma Xiaojuan rode a bicycle to take Su Mo to the county supply and marketing cooperative.
As soon as they entered the supply and marketing cooperative, Sister Liu was still the most active one. When she saw Su Mo, she was very surprised, "Sister Su, I haven't seen you for many years. I thought you went back to the city."
Su Mo didn't expect Sister Liu to be so strong. She was not arrested under Uncle Geng's rule and was still selling things in the supply and marketing cooperative. It seemed that she was quite capable. She smiled and said, "I went with the army, so I can be considered to be back to the city."
"Oh, you are so lucky. Are you back to visit your relatives now? What do you want to buy today?"
"My friend is getting married, and she came here to buy her dowry."
"Oh, sister, what do you need? Sister will introduce you to the best." Sister Liu smiled so hard that her teeth came out. Her performance was great again.
Ma Xiaojuan didn't understand much, so she did what Su Mo did at the time, and bought it for her, spending more than 50 yuan.
Tao Peisheng gave her 500 yuan as a betrothal gift, and her family mailed her 200 yuan as a dowry. All this money was for her. Now she had money, so she bought something decent.
After buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative, the two went to the commune workshop and ordered a new quilt.
"Are you going to live in the army after you get married?" Su Mo asked.
"No, I will still live in my own house in the educated youth camp. It's more convenient for me to go to class, and I will go to the army on weekends." Ma Xiaojuan said.
Tao Peisheng took in his comrade's mother and took care of her in her old age, so he lived in the house assigned to him by the army. If he lived there, he would have to get along with people, and she was not used to it.
She always felt that the aunt seemed to be somewhat hostile to her, and she didn't know if she was being overly suspicious. But her son sacrificed himself to save Tao Peisheng, so she couldn't say anything.
"It's not bad to stay as an educated youth. You have more time and don't have to travel all the way." Su Mo said, "Now those who have been sent down will gradually be rehabilitated. I guess the college entrance examination may also be restored." "
Really?" Ma Xiaojuan was surprised.
"I'm not sure either, I'm just guessing."
"But we've graduated for so many years, can we still take the exam?"
"There should be a chance. I think if there is time, I can still prepare. If I can take the exam then, I won't be caught off guard. Even if I can't take the exam, the knowledge is my own, and it won't be wasted if I learn it."
"That's true, then I'll ask my mom to send me my old books."
