Chapter 32: Gossip spreads as fast as the Internet

The next day, Su Mo went to work as usual.

She made an agreement with Lu Changzheng yesterday that she would work another day today, and for the next two days, she would make quilt covers at the educated youth center.

Because Lu Changzheng had to go to the city today and there was no one to help pick peanuts, so Su Mo only received 5 points of land.

After the land was divided for everyone, Lu Guoping walked to Su Mo and whispered: "Sister-in-law, after you finish pulling the peanuts, just tie them up and put them in the land. I will pick them."

"Don't bother, I 'll do it." Just pick it yourself." Su Mo waved her hands.

"Sister-in-law, don't be polite. Brother Changzheng has already told you that if I don't pick a fight, he will beat me up." Lu Guoping said naively.

"Is that so? That's a bother to you. You help me pick and I'll help you pull. I'll try not to delay your work."

"No, no." Lu Guoping waved his hands. "Brother Changzheng has been protecting me since I was a child. , I should help my sister-in-law pick a few bundles of peanuts. "

Just kidding, how dare he ask his sister-in-law to help him with work, or he will be killed by Brother Changzheng.

Su Mo smiled and said nothing more, she would go and pull the peanuts directly. That's it.

Su Mo's pulling speed was still about the same as before. At about 10 o'clock, she stopped pulling her own five acres of land and went to pull the land given to Lu Guoping.

Although Lu Guoping desperately refused to let her go, Rest, but Su Mo still insisted on pulling herself up.

She never liked to owe favors to others. If she could repay it right away, why would she put it off until later?

When absorbing energy today, Su Mo clearly felt that the speed of absorption was faster than yesterday. It seemed that her ability had been upgraded again. A little bit.

Not bad! If you make a little progress every day, upgrading your ability is not a dream.

However, the land that Lu Guoping pulled was really hard, and Su Mo's hands hurt.

No wonder the members at this time did not dare to offend the production team leader. , afraid of being framed. The difference in land quality has a huge impact on labor efficiency.

From this we can see that Lu Guoping is indeed an honest and positive progressive young man. He gave good land to others. , you can see it by pulling out the worst land yourself.

Lu Guoping came back from picking again and saw Su Mo still pulling. He quickly walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not easy to pull the weeds here. You should go and take a rest."

"If you can pull them, I can too. I can't pull as fast as you, but at least I can help you share some of the burden. "

Lu Guoping was suddenly moved. His brother Changzheng was really amazing. He found a wife who was not only highly conscious, but also kind.

In the afternoon.

After Su Mo pulled her own, Just as she was about to go to Lu Guoping's place, she saw a teenager running towards her from a distance, shouting to her as he ran: "Su Zhiqing, someone from the brigade wants to see you. The brigade commander wants you to go back.

" , I understand, thank you."

Su Mo walked over with a smile, took out two fruit candies from her pocket, actually from the space, and handed them to the child.

The child was so happy to receive the candy that he ran away laughing.

Su Mo: …

She was just about to ask if she knew who was looking for her, but the child ran away.

How careless! She should have taken the candy a little later. When Su Mo arrived at the brigade ,

she found a familiar figure in the conversation of the aunties. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was the production manager of the workshop.

The production manager saw Su Mo coming back and walked over with a smile: "Su Mo, Zhiqing, your bedding is ready. I happened to be in your brigade for something, so I brought it over for you."

"Come, I'll take it to your Zhiqing point." Director Qi said, and walked towards the car parked at the entrance of the brigade. Bicycle.

Two large bamboo baskets were tied to the back seat of the bicycle. Two thick blankets were placed in the baskets, with a large part of the blanket sticking out.

Su Mo: ...

Thank you so much! I'm afraid that the whole team will soon know that she made two quilts.

"Oh, Director Qi, your workshop service is really good. The director personally delivered it to our door." The auntie teased.

"Of course, we serve the people, so we must provide good service to the people." Director Qi smiled.

He personally delivered it for a purpose.

He walked around with the quilt. Let others see the quality. Some more affluent families might come to their workshop to make quilts. Since

many people are getting married after the autumn harvest, they must do some good work for the cotton shop.

You lead the way." Director Qi said to Su Mo while pushing the bicycle.

"Okay, thank you Director Qi." Su Mo smiled awkwardly but politely.

After Su Mo and Director Qi left, the aunties who were picking peanuts started chatting again.

"This educated youth Su is quite generous. He made two large quilts at once."

"What's so generous about that? If I had taken 400 yuan, "I'll give you three betrothal gifts for you." One lady said disdainfully.

"Not only that, I heard from Zhao Jiuxiang that she also bought him a Haishi watch that cost more than 120 yuan." The speed at which gossip spread in the village was It is comparable to the Internet in later times.

The ladies took a deep breath.

"The branch secretary's family is very wealthy. He needs 500 yuan or more to marry a daughter-in-law." Some people were jealous.

"You heard it wrong. It was Su who bought a Haishi watch for Lu Lao San, not the secretary's family."

"You don't speak clearly."

"Then is Su's dowry considered

"Hey, Cuihua, what dowry did your daughter-in-law bring?" Some nosy aunts started to stir up trouble. When Li Cuihua married her daughter-in -

law, she gave a betrothal gift of 200 yuan, and her family also bought her a When her daughter-in-law came home, she brought a new quilt and her own clothes.

But so what, her daughter-in-law was a person who earned 28 yuan a month.

"My daughter-in-law didn't bring anything but some money. She said we should live frugally and buy more things when we need them."

This is a veiled criticism of Su Mo's lack of knowledge of life. Why would they make two quilts for the couple? Money How much is it?

The auntie curled her lips, "Why didn't you buy a watch for your son?"

"My son already has a watch, why bother wasting that money? How much food can you buy with more than a hundred yuan? It's hard to live on it." We can't waste it like that." Li Cuihua said stubbornly.

The ladies laughed, everyone knew who was who.

"I heard that they got the marriage certificate yesterday. I wonder when the secretary's family will host the banquet?"

"I heard from Zhao Jiuxiang that it will be on October 1st."

"Oh, it's only two days away. How come there is still no news from the secretary's family? Aren't they going to set up a banquet?"

"Yes, they will. I heard that it will be a grand banquet and they will invite the whole team. Didn't you see that Li Yue'e took a leave and didn't go to work today? I guess she went out to buy things." "

Inviting the whole team? That would require at least 20 tables, which would cost a lot. The secretary's family is really wealthy..."

"I heard that the family only provided food and vegetables, and Lu Changzheng paid for the rest himself."

"With more than 20 tables, they will have to eat a lot of food. I'm afraid they will have to prepare food for the whole family for one or two months."

"Can you go to the banquet empty-handed? Minus the gift money, you can't give much."

"Lu Changzheng served in the army for so long, I'm afraid he saved a lot of his allowance, so the banquet should not be too bad, there must be two meat dishes..." Auntie was already drooling as she spoke, she really hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

"Of course there must be, right? He is still a military officer after all. I remember Cuihua's son had three meat dishes when he got married. Cuihua, right?"

The banquet for Li Cuihua's son's daughter-in-law did have three meat dishes, an old hen stewed with mushroom vermicelli, a pickled cabbage stewed with pork belly, and a radish stewed with fish. Although there was less meat and more vegetables, it was also very decent.

But at that time, she only set up ten tables and invited people who were close to her.

Li Cuihua nodded, "There are three meat dishes, old hen stewed with mushroom vermicelli, pickled cabbage stewed with pork belly, radish stewed with fish, and the staple food is two-grain steamed buns."

This is a respectable thing, there is nothing wrong with admitting it.

The aunties began to calculate in their hearts. With Li Yue'e and Li Cuihua's habit of showing off, the banquet will probably not be worse than Li Cuihua's. They

all looked forward to it in their hearts, but they didn't know whether they really invited the whole team. There is no definite news now.
