Chapter 55: Go to Lijiaao to scout the area



Chapter 55 Go to Lijiaao to check out the place

A large earthenware pot of rabbit meat and radish stewed in a pot, Li Yue'e divided it into three portions, one for each family.

Since the family had just separated and it was not a festival, Li Yue'e did not plan to invite people to eat together, so that everyone could adapt.

Although there was less rabbit meat and more radishes, Li Yue'e divided it very evenly, and each portion was about one pound of meat. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and the most important thing was that Su Mo's cooking was really delicious.

The two brothers Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo even ate the remaining juice with cornmeal steamed buns.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the third brother's wife's cooking was so delicious." Lu Weiguo said while stroking his stomach.

"The third aunt's cooking is delicious. Yesterday, grandma gave us the buns made by the third aunt, which were especially delicious." The new fan Lu Guodong immediately praised it.

"It's delicious." Seeing that his father and brother were praising it, the lackey Lu Guoliang also followed suit.

Lu Guihua was unhappy, "I cook for you all day, why don't you say a word of praise to me."

The father and his two sons were silent. There is still a big difference between being edible and delicious.

"Look at this rabbit meat, how much oil and seasoning she put in it. If I had so much oil and seasoning to make it, I would make it even more delicious than hers." Lu Guihua muttered.

It was only in the past two years that the commune had its own oil mill, making it more convenient for members to use oil. If it was still the same as before, relying only on the little oil distributed by the brigade every year, she wanted to see what the third family would do? This meal was probably made with a week's worth of oil.

On the other side, the eldest family was also chatting in a low voice after finishing their meal.

"I said the third family's food was special, right? This can kill a rabbit with one kick." Liu Yuzhi said to Lu Xingjun.

"Didn't mother say it? It was a coincidence." Lu Xingjun had no doubts. Even a strong man like him might not be able to kick a rabbit to death with one kick.

"Daya, do you think it was a coincidence?" Liu Yuzhi asked Lu Fengqin.

"I, I'm not sure either."

Lu Fengqin was walking in the front and didn't see much. When she heard the sound and turned around, Su Mo had already finished kicking. She only saw the movement of Su Mo landing on the ground.

"But, but Third Aunt is so fast."

Liu Yuzhi was also speechless, and said to Lu Aiqin: "Erya, you say."

"Ah? Anyway, Third Aunt is very powerful. She kicked the rabbit to death with one kick." Lu Aiqin didn't understand either.

Liu Yuzhi: ...

"Okay, they have rabbit meat for you, just eat it, why are you digging so hard?" Lu Xingjun said.

Liu Yuzhi choked, how come she seemed to become a bad person.

After dinner, Su Mo helped Li Yue'e wash the dishes, and then sat in the main hall to chat with the old lady for a while. After Liu Yuzhi and Lu Guihua finished their work and saw Su Mo was still there, they also came over to sit for a while.

When Su Mo was about to go back, Lu Fengqin spoke: "Aunt, I will go with you to harvest the crops tomorrow."

Her mother asked her to go to collect pig grass tomorrow, but she still wanted to go with Aunt. As long as Aunt agreed, her mother would not say anything.

Su Mo smiled, "Aren't you going to school soon? You've been on vacation for such a long time, so stay at home and review your textbooks in the next two days. Auntie already knows how to go, so I won't bother you."

With the children following her, she had a lot of things to do.

"But..." Lu Fengqin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Qingan.

"Your auntie is right, you two, don't run around in the next two days, and study at home."

The Lu family still attaches great importance to education. As long as you are willing to study, they will provide it even if they have to sell everything. The four brothers and sisters of Lu Changzheng all have at least junior high school education, and even Lu Xiaolan has finished junior high school.

Seeing that her grandfather had spoken, Lu Fengqin could only nod in agreement.

After returning home, Su Mo quickly took a shower, then hung up the curtains, turned on the desk lamp, and began her literary creation again. Her four manuscripts were almost finished, and after some polishing, they could be sent out in two days.

Su Mo wrote until after ten o'clock in the evening, then turned off the lights and went to bed. Before going to bed, she took out the batteries and charged the desk lamps.

The next day, Su Mo got up at five o'clock, put the charged desk lamps and batteries back into the space, and then went to the field to deliver some superpowers to each vegetable plot. If you look carefully, you can already see tender sprouts.

After finishing these, Su Mo solved the problem of personal hygiene. At this time, the sky was just getting light. Su Mo filled a pot with warm water, locked the door, took the backpack and went up the mountain.

Scared? Not at all.

She had seen zombies running all over the ground and eating people, and small animals like mice and snakes were all cute in her eyes.

Su Mo absorbed energy as she walked, and went straight to the big chestnut tree from yesterday. After arriving, Su Mo first looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, she began to ripen the chestnuts.

Soon, the green shells still hanging on the chestnut tree began to turn yellow slowly, and then began to crack. As the cracks opened wider and wider, the chestnuts fell down in the morning breeze.

Seeing that it was almost done, Su Mo stopped the energy transmission, and her face was already slightly pale.

Alas! The level of supernatural power is still too low.

Su Mo did not even have time to take a break and hurried to pick up the fallen chestnuts, lest someone come later and she would be busy doing things for them.

Most of the chestnuts in the backpack were picked up, estimated to be about 20 to 30 kilograms. Su Mo usually put most of them into the space, leaving only about 20 to 3 kilograms in the backpack.

After picking up the chestnuts, Su Mo stood up again and absorbed half of the energy that she had just lost to the chestnut tree. This was to prevent the chestnut tree from dropping its leaves late and being discovered by others.

After doing all this, Su Mo carried the backpack and walked from the mountain to Lijiaao according to the direction Lu Guodong told her yesterday.

The mountains here are all connected. There is a main road at the foot of the mountain leading to Lijiaao, and there must be small roads on the mountain.

Su Mo walked and searched, and she collected any mountain products she saw on the road.

Finally, after more than two hours, Su Mo vaguely saw some houses below on the mountain, so she began to walk down the mountain.

After walking for another half an hour, Su Mo saw a few adobe houses halfway up the mountain.

Su Mo's eyes flashed. The book said that cow sheds are usually built halfway up the mountain, and she didn't know if that was a cow shed.

Su Mo walked over with a backpack on her back, and before she got close, she saw a young man coming out of it holding a bundle of wheat.

The young man was wearing old patched clothes, had a pale face, messy hair, and wore black-framed glasses.

"Comrade, hello, may I ask where this place is? I am an educated youth from the Lujia Village Brigade. I got separated from my companions during the autumn harvest." Su Mo shouted quickly.

The man obviously didn't want to have much contact with Su Mo. He said, "There are people downstairs. Go ask them." Then he went back with the wheat.

Su Mo confirmed her guess, so she stopped pestering him and turned around to continue walking down.

After walking down for about seven or eight minutes, after turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up.

Going down along the valley, there were many houses scattered in an orderly manner.

Su Mo guessed that this should be Lijiaao.

At this time, an old lady was carrying a load of things up. When Su Mo saw her, she hurried to meet her.

"Auntie, I am an educated youth from Lujia Village Brigade. I got separated from my companions during the harvest season and ended up here. May I ask where this place is? How can I get back to Lujia Village Brigade?"

After saying that, she handed over a few pieces of fruit candy in her hand.

The auntie took the candy and said with a smile, "Hey, how did you get here? I guess you walked for quite some time?"

The auntie looked over and saw walnuts on the top of the Su Mo basket and traces of shepherd's purse on the bottom. She must have been right and was indeed harvesting.

"This is Lijiaao. It's not far from the main road to Lujiacun Brigade. It will take more than half an hour."

"Walk down along the village, and when you see the main road, walk out, and you will be back to Lujiacun Brigade."

"Thank you, Auntie." Su Mo hurriedly thanked her, then walked down along the village and soon reached the main road.

The Lijiaao production team is not big, and there are only a few dozen households in the whole village.

When she reached the main road, Su Mo walked out, and after more than half an hour, she returned to Lujiacun Brigade.

It seems that she has just taken a long detour in the mountains, and there should be a shorter way.

Su Mo decided to continue scouting the area tomorrow.
