Chapter 43 Entering the city
again The few people stood for a while until they could no longer see the car.
"Old Third Wife, let's go back." Li Yue'e said, "If you need anything, just come home and tell us. We are all family, there is no need to be polite."
"Yes." Su Mo nodded and walked back with Li Yue'e.
Lu Qing'an and Lu Xingjun entered the office of the team headquarters. They were about to hand in the public rations and settle the accounts at the end of the year. It was a busy time for these brigade cadres.
Lu Xingjun was now reviewing the brigade's accounts for the year, and carefully reviewed the income and expenditure. This had to be announced to the brigade members, so that they would not suspect him of corruption if there was a discrepancy between the accounts.
Lu Qingan entered the office and saw that no one else was there, so he took out a watch from his pocket and handed it to Lu Xingjun: "The third brother's previous watch, he said it was for you."
Lu Xingjun was a little surprised, but also a little happy, "Give it to me? Will the second brother have any opinions?"
Lu Qingan waved his hand, "The third brother said it was for you, what can he have any opinions about it. He gets his salary, and he will buy it if he needs it."
Lu Qingan was the only one in the Lu family who had a watch, which was a national award to Lu Boming. After Lu Boming stopped being the party secretary, he gave it to Lu Qingan.
The quality of watches at that time was excellent, and after so many years, it is still in good condition because it has been well taken care of.
"The third brother said that it broke once when he was on a mission before. After it was repaired, it seems to be a little inaccurate. It needs to be checked at least every two days."
"Okay, no problem." Lu Xingjun put on the watch happily. Not to mention checking it every two days, it's no problem to check it once a day.
It seems that the third brother is closer to his eldest brother.
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the pig farm to take a look." Lu Qing'an said, and left with his hands behind his back.
The pen will be opened soon. Except for the mission pigs, the others are all for generating income for the brigade, so we can't be careless.
The division of labor between Lu Qing'an and the brigade leader Lu Baoguo is very clear. One is responsible for production and the other is responsible for the economy (sideline business).
Lu Qingan is in charge of sideline businesses. In recent years, the Lujia Village Production Brigade has successively engaged in sideline businesses such as raising pigs, chickens, and sheep. Although the benefits cannot be said to be amazing, it is much better than just digging for food in the fields. The work points of the brigade are more valuable year by year.
This year, the new canal began to be used. Their brigade has a good location and planted a lot of fine grains. The production is good, and several collective sideline businesses are also good. As long as there are no problems, they can sell all these things to the purchasing station, and this year's evaluation of the advanced brigade will be stable.

Li Yue'e looked at her third daughter-in-law who walked silently with her head down, and sighed helplessly in her heart.
I don’t know if she is pregnant in these two days? If I had a child, I wouldn’t be so lonely.
Arriving at Lu's house, Su Mo looked up at Li Yue'e and said, "Mom, I'll go back then."
Li Yue'e waved her hand, "Go ahead! If you need anything, just come home and tell me. I've been growing vegetables at home these days and won't go to work."
Although the work in the fields during the autumn harvest was over, there was still work to rub corn, which was worth 6 work points a day. The eldest and second eldest families went to rub corn. The vegetables at the third eldest's wedding were all grown, so she had to plant them.
Although it was late to plant now, it was better to eat them tender than nothing.
After Su Mo got home, she looked at the empty house and suddenly felt particularly lonely, even though there was only one person missing.
Su Mo sat alone on the kang and started to be emo.
After being emo for a while, she began to cheer herself up.
Su Mo, cheer up, it's time to start your new life.
Think about your parents who are about to go to the cowshed, and think about your ambitions when you first came here. It's time to take action.
Have you sold the fruits and vegetables? Have you written the manuscript? Have you found the ginseng? Have you started to make money?
No, right?
Are you thinking of staying at home and spending the salary that Lu Changzheng earned by being injured and bleeding?
...
Su Mo cheered herself up again.
Due to her personality, no matter what time it is, Su Mo can cheer herself up as soon as possible and face life with a positive and optimistic attitude.
Thinking of Lu Changzheng's contact information just now, Su Mo went to find it.
Sure enough, on the kang table, a piece of paper was found with the mailing address and contact number of Lu Changzheng's troops written on it. Lu Changzheng's handwriting was just like him, strong and powerful, like iron painting and silver hooks.
Su Mo folded the note and put it in the space.
After taking out an apple from the space and eating it, Su Mo went to the west room to put the earthen cloth in the bamboo basket in the space, hung the bamboo basket on the back seat of the bicycle, and pushed the bicycle out. After
locking the door of the house and the courtyard, Su Mo rode to Lu's house to say hello to Li Yue'e.
"Mom, I'm going to call my uncle and buy some cotton and cloth to make a cotton-padded jacket. I didn't bring any. Do you have anything for me to bring?"
Li Yue'e waved her hand: "No, the sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."
The old man had told her about this matter, so it would be better to call earlier. The third brother's family must have married themselves off without informing their family.
Su Mo was touched when she saw that Li Yue'e didn't ask anything. They should all know that something happened in her family, but they didn't say or ask anything, just pretending not to know. Isn't this a kind of respect for her?
Su Mo rode on her bicycle and set off. She originally wanted to go to the commune supply and marketing cooperative to buy some, but when she saw the crowds of people, she gave up and continued to go to the county.
When she passed a section of the road, Su Mo looked left and right and saw no one, so she stopped and took out a bamboo basket of apples from the space, which was also covered with coarse cloth.
This bamboo basket of apples weighed about 50 kilograms. Although it was a bit heavy, after getting used to it, Su Mo rode very steadily.
After arriving at the county supply and marketing cooperative, Su Mo parked the bicycle against the wall, locked it, and then went in.
There were more people in the county supply and marketing cooperative than the previous two times she came, but it was not as scary as the commune supply and marketing cooperative.
