Chapter 35 Uncle Geng
This is also the first time for Su Mo to visit the new house.
The new house is not far from Lu's house. It takes no more than 5 minutes to walk there, and it is even faster to ride a bicycle.
Entering from the street gate surrounded by bamboo fences, there is a row of three large green brick tile houses in the middle, two adobe houses on the left, and a well on the right. The yard is about three acres of land, which is used to grow vegetables.
The house is a typical three-room house in the northeast countryside. The east and west rooms are bedrooms. The middle room is divided into two sections. The section near the yard is the kitchen, and the back section is the dining room and living room. There is only one door in the middle of the whole row of houses, and the doors of the two bedrooms are open inside the house.
Lu Changzheng led Su Mo into the house and went directly into the east bedroom, which was used as the wedding room.
Lu Changzheng said to Su Mo with sparkling eyes: "Wife, you rest in the room first. I will go to greet everyone, and we will go to my parents later."
Su Mo nodded.
Soon, several aunts brought Su Mo's dowry into the bridal chamber.
The bedding was placed on the kang, the thermos and other things were placed on the table, and Su Mo's two suitcases were placed upright on the ground.
The bamboo basket containing miscellaneous items was not moved in, and it was probably placed in the middle room.
The aunts did not stay in the room for long. After putting the things away and saying a few auspicious words to Su Mo, they went out.
After they left, Su Mo had time to look around the room carefully.
Su Mo had never expected that Lu Changzheng's new house not only had a cement floor and white walls, but also had a ceiling made of thin wooden boards. For rural areas of that era, this was considered a luxurious decoration.
The bedroom was quite large, Su Mo estimated that it was at least 30 square meters. The kang was also very large, and it was estimated that it would not be a problem for a family of five to sleep on it.
A bamboo mat had been laid on the kang, and a kang table was placed in the middle, with a plate of peanuts and a plate of red dates on the kang table. There were two kangqins, one high and one low, on both sides.
There was also a large double-door wardrobe next to the kang, and a full-length mirror was embedded in the door on one side of the wardrobe.
In addition, there was a dressing table, a desk, a sewing machine, and two armchairs in the room.
There is a window on the north and south sides of the bedroom. The windows are quite large, and the room is bright
and spacious. There are screens on the windows, so there is no need to worry about bugs flying in after opening the windows. The two windows, the one on the kang near the yard, is equipped with a glass window door, and the one facing the back of the house is a wooden window door. It has both privacy and lighting. There is also a curtain hanging on the window on the kang.
Su Mo was amazed. Lu Changzheng must have spent a lot of money on this house.
Lu Changzheng also found a frame for the wedding photos of the two and hung them on the wall of the bedroom.
After looking at it for a while, Su Mo sat on the kang and listened to the noisy voices outside.
This is where she will live in the future, and the conditions are much better than she thought.
At this time, someone outside called Lu Changzheng and asked him to bring his new wife over quickly, saying that the leaders of the commune would be here soon.
This time, not only did Lu Qing'an invite people from the brigade, but he also invited several leaders of the commune.
Lu Changzheng and Su Mo hurried over. Since they were attending their wedding, they had to be courteous.
As soon as Su Mo entered the street gate, she saw Lu Xiaolan and several young wives setting the table and placing the dishes. The vegetables that filled the yard before were gone, replaced by dining tables, some round and some square.
Lu Xiaolan saw the two and said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today. You are probably the most beautiful bride in the whole commune."
Su Mo smiled embarrassedly, "Don't tease me."
"Oh, the chairman can testify that what I said is true." Lu Xiaolan smiled. Her third sister-in-law is indeed beautiful. There is no one prettier than her in the whole town.
At this time, Li Yue'e came out of the house and said to the two: "Your father has gone to pick up the leaders of the commune. You two should go to the door to greet him."
The two went back to stand by the gate again. Soon, they saw Lu Qing'an leading a few people who looked like leaders.
After seeing Su Mo wearing it, Lu Qing'an frowned slightly.
The third daughter-in-law seemed to be wearing a bit too high-profile today. Although she was a bride today, the skirt was too capitalist.
Su Mo looked up and saw the elegant and young man walking towards her, and was shocked.
Damn, isn't this Geng Changqing, Uncle Geng, who was raised by the original owner's grandfather?
Geng Changqing's parents were revolutionary martyrs who died in the war, leaving behind the young Geng Changqing.
Su Zhongli felt sorry for him because no one was taking care of him, so he brought him back to the Su family to raise him and tried his best to teach and train him. Geng Changqing came to the Su family when he was 4 years old, and he is considered to be half a Su family member.
Although the original owner called her Uncle Geng, Geng Changqing is actually only 12 years older than the original owner and is only 30 this year.
Geng Changqing walked up to the two of them, first shook hands with Lu Changzheng, and congratulated him on his marriage. Then he turned to Su Mo and smiled, "Xiao Mo, you've grown up so much after not seeing you for a few years. You didn't even tell your uncle that you were getting married."
Su Mo smiled awkwardly, "Uncle Geng, long time no see. I knew you were here."
"You!" Geng Changqing shook his head helplessly. He
was as willful as ever. He married himself without being watched. Fortunately, the person he married was not bad, otherwise he would not know how to explain to Brother Qian.
When the original owner was the most naughty and willful, Geng Changqing was in junior high school and was often messed up by the original owner. So Geng Changqing still had a headache with the original owner.
Geng Changqing took out two thick red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Su Mo: "One is from me, and one is from your uncle. Call him in two days."
Su Mo took them and said with a guilty conscience: "I have written to him."
Then he immediately added, "I will call him in two days."
The leaders following behind him were all surprised. They didn't expect that the new daughter-in-law of the brigade secretary of Lujia Village was actually a relative of Secretary Geng.
Lu Qingan was also very shocked. Didn't the third daughter-in-law come to the countryside because of a family accident? How come she knew Secretary Geng? And the relationship seemed very unusual.
"Comrade Lu Changzheng, Su Mo is a kind, upright, and revolutionary comrade. I hope you will treat her well in the future."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task." Lu Changzheng saluted.
Secretary Geng seemed to be representing his daughter-in-law's family, so his attitude must be serious.
"Su Mo, Comrade Lu Changzheng is a very outstanding soldier. He is defending the country at the front. You must manage the rear for him so that he doesn't have to worry about anything. Do you understand?"
Su Mo nodded quickly, "I understand."
