Chapter 295 1975
After a while, Aunt Zhao changed her clothes and came out, wearing a brand new large cotton jacket with floral patterns.
This dress was sent by Tao Peisheng's biological mother. Although she did not agree with her son bringing her here, she still had to take good care of her since she was here. Tao Peisheng, a grown man, was not that attentive. He usually gave Aunt Zhao money. Most of the things Aunt Zhao ate, wore and used were sent by Tao's mother.
Seeing Su Mo and Jiang Yue in the living room, Aunt Zhao smiled shyly, "Sister, does Aunt look good in this?"
"It looks good, festive, and suitable for you." Su Mo praised, "Aunt, you should wear more bright colors, it makes you look more lively."
"Really?" Aunt Zhao laughed happily, she thought it would be too colorful.
Hearing the conversation, Ma Xiaojuan and Tao Peisheng also came out.
Ma Xiaojuan continued to praise after Su Mo's words, "Aunt, it looks good. When spring comes, I will go buy some cloth and make you two bright spring shirts."
"Xiaojuan, no need, Aunt has enough clothes, don't waste money." Aunt Zhao smiled even more, and the anxiety in her heart was reduced a little.
After getting ready, several people went to the army cafeteria.
The troops who came to the wedding banquet started to liven up the atmosphere when they saw the bride and groom. Ma Xiaojuan was carefree and unpretentious, so she quickly got along well with them.
Tao Peisheng's subordinates were also very happy. This new sister-in-law was straightforward and easy to get along with, and it would be easier for their families to get along with each other in the future.
After a lively time, the kitchen team started to clamor for the dishes to be served. The dishes were quite solid, three meats and two vegetables, including mutton, chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms, and braised pork ribs, all served in the big iron basins used in the army, and each table was filled with a big basin of each item.
The soldiers in the kitchen team had good cooking skills, and the meals they cooked were all delicious, and everyone was very satisfied. After eating, everyone went back to the bridal chamber to have some fun, and then went back to their own places, leaving space for the newlyweds.
Tao Peisheng asked the two cars that had been sent to pick up people to send back the guests from Lujia Village who came to the wedding banquet.
After everyone left, Ma Xiaojuan opened the gifts everyone had sent.
The educated youth who came to the banquet gave a dollar each. Jiang Yue had a good relationship with Ma Xiaojuan, so in addition to the money, she also gave a pair of pillowcases.
Su Mo gave Ma Xiaojuan a four-piece bed set.
When she got married, Ma Xiaojuan gave her a pair of pillowcases. After so many years, their relationship was better than before, so it would be inappropriate to return pillowcases. In addition, Ma Xiaojuan married Tao Peisheng, so he directly gave her a four-piece set.
After Su Mo went to the Foreign Trade Center, she contacted textile and garment factories in Guangzhou and designed some four-piece bedding sets according to foreign demand. She has already started participating in the Spring Fair this year and has received many orders.
Su Mo bought these four-piece bedding sets through her connections. She originally wanted to keep them for her own use, but she gave one to Ma Xiaojuan when she got married. In this era, it is a very impressive gift.
Ma Xiaojuan couldn't put it down after looking at these four-piece bedding sets. It is true that things from big cities are different.
Seeing her like that, Tao Peisheng said, "Xiaojuan, if you like it, I'll ask Lao Lu's wife to buy another set, and we can use them interchangeably."
"This stuff is exported, and Su Mo also used many connections to buy it. It's not that easy, don't cause trouble for others." Ma Xiaojuan glanced at him, "Besides, I already bought the sheets and quilt covers myself, so there's no need to spend more money."
With that, Ma Xiaojuan put the things away, preparing to take them to her husband's new house to make the bed when she went to Harbin.

After the wedding banquet, Su Mo and the others were also preparing to return to Guangzhou. After half a month of taking ginseng soup, Lu Boying's health has improved a lot. In the future, as long as he eats more supernatural food and takes good care of himself, there shouldn't be any big problems.
Su Mo produced a few more baskets of rice, and asked Lu Changzheng to take them to the processing plant for grinding, and then gave them to Lu's family for Lu Bo Ming to nourish his body.
The troops had special supplies, and everyone just thought that Lu Changzheng asked his connections to get them for his father.
Seeing that they were about to leave again, Li Yue'e became sad again, and she held the two little ones and sighed. After this separation, she didn't know when she would see them again.
Two days before leaving, Su Mo specially went to pick up Cao Yatou from school, took her home and cooked her a delicious meal.
Lele also gave all his candies to Cao Yatou, so that when she was sad, she could eat one and she wouldn't feel the bitterness. Cao Yatou was moved and burst into tears again.
After dinner, Su Mo and Lu Changzheng drove Cao Yatou back home, and then went to Captain Li to ask him to look after Cao Yatou.
Captain Li didn't expect Su Mo to be so caring for Cao Yatou even though she had joined the army, and he immediately told Su Mo not to worry.
He also didn't expect that Cao Yatou, such a poor person, could have such good fortune.
On the 20th, the Lu family got up early, some boiled eggs, some made pancakes.
When the car sent by Tao Peisheng arrived, the whole family carried large and small bags of things and sent them on the car. When the car was about to leave, Li Yue'e wiped her tears and said to Su Mo: "Xiao Mo, don't forget what your mother told you."
"Mom, don't worry, I will arrange it."
After the car drove away, Lu Xiaolan asked Su Mo with red eyes, "Third sister-in-law, what did your mother tell you to do?"
"Let me find a partner for you."
Lu Xiaolan: ...
The group first went to Shuangshan City to take a train to Harbin, then transferred from Harbin to Beijing, and then bought air tickets in Beijing, and finally returned to Guangzhou on the afternoon of the 24th.
After taking a month's vacation and accumulating a lot of work, Su Mo rested for a morning and went back to work at the center the next afternoon.
Now is the critical moment. Geng Changqing would remind her for no reason to strive for the opportunity to study abroad. He must have heard some news.
A few days passed in a flash, and it was 1975 in the blink of an eye!
