Chapter 60 Sending Bedding

After entering the house, Su Mo went to the west room first and put the chestnuts, walnuts, and pine nuts that had been dried two days ago in the corner of the room.

Then she poured the chestnuts and walnuts in the backpack onto the ground, spread them out, and let them slowly dry.

When she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, she bought a few sacks, and then went to the commune carpenter shop to order a wooden rack for storing things. When the time came, she put everything on the rack and ate it slowly.

After finishing, Su Mo went to the small room where she kept miscellaneous items, found three medium-sized pots for pickling vegetables, went to the vegetable garden, dug the mud from the three pots, and planted the three ginseng plants in the pots under the daylight. She also sent some supernatural powers to help them take root in the pots better.

Then she moved them to the back window of her bedroom, so that when the window was open during the day, they could get some sunlight in the morning.

After doing all this, Su Mo boiled water for a bath. By the time she finished washing clothes and eating, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Su Mo went out early this morning and took a walk around the mountain. She was a little tired. She had to get up early tomorrow, so she just went to bed to rest

. The next day, Su Mo got up at four o'clock again, and first went to the west room to fill a straw basket with dried chestnuts and walnuts, estimated to be five or six pounds, and put them in the space. After quickly washing up, she took the backpack and set off in a hurry.

Fortunately, Lu Changzheng's house was built at the end of the village, and it was in a relatively backward position, close to the road up the mountain. People didn't keep dogs these days, which gave Su Mo convenience.

When they were still about ten minutes away from the agreed location, Su Mo took out the quilt and Mo Yurong's cotton coat from the backpack and put them in the backpack. But the backpack could only hold the quilt and cotton coat, so the mattress had to be held in her arms.

Then she took out the straw basket containing chestnuts and walnuts, took a new gray towel, cut off the label, took three or four buns to wrap them, and stuffed them into the mattress.

Then she put on the backpack, carried the straw basket, and held the mattress, and set off for the agreed location.

When Su Mo arrived, Su Tingqian and his wife had been waiting for a while. Seeing their daughter coming with a lot of things, they were both shocked and hurried over to take them.

They felt so distressed. How tired Momo must be to climb the mountain with so many things.

"Mom and Dad, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It wasn't long, we just got here." Su Tingqian said.

The couple looked at the pile of things with some worry in their eyes.

Yesterday, their daughter said that she had prepared quilts and cotton clothes for them. They thought it was just a thin quilt, but looking at the weight, it was a rare big quilt. Quilts are very difficult to get these days. Where did their daughter get it?

And even the quilt cover has been sewn. Could it be...

"Momo, you didn't bring all the quilts that your in-laws gave you for your wedding?" Mo Yurong said.

"No, don't worry, I prepared this myself." Su Mo said.

Su Mo took out the buns wrapped in a towel from the mattress, took one for herself, and handed the rest to Mo Yurong, preparing to explain everything to them while eating. Yesterday, the schedule was tight, and many things were not explained to them clearly.

"Mom and Dad, let's talk while we eat."

So, while the father and daughter were eating buns, Su Mo explained everything to them. From the 400 yuan betrothal gift given by Lu Changzheng to how much dowry she prepared, and how she lived alone now, she told them everything.

After understanding the whole story, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

"But Momo, you brought a quilt over. It's okay for you to live alone now, but if there is a guest, it will be exposed." Mo Yurong was still a little worried.

But when they were sent down, they really didn't have time to prepare things for the winter. Originally, they thought that Geng Changqing would send someone over and let him figure out a way to get it, but they didn't expect their daughter to have prepared it for them.

"Don't worry, I'll go get another bed when the time comes, and tell them that my relatives at home like it and want one."

Su Mo said, she thought this was feasible. If not, she could ask Geng Changqing for help, and let him, the secretary, get it, there wouldn't be any problem.

The three of them were all here, so it must have been Geng Changqing who helped, which meant that he would not sit idly by and watch the situation of her family of three.

"Is this okay?" Su Tingqian didn't know much about the collective economy of these communes.

"Yes, there was an educated youth who did this." Su Mo told a white lie to convince Su Tingqian. She went back and asked Ma Xiaojuan about the situation.

Su Tingqian was relieved.

Su Mo took out Mo Yurong's cotton coat from the backpack and said, "Mom, look, I made you a cotton coat. How is it?"

Mo Yurong took the coat and almost burst into tears.

Although it was made of dark brown coarse cloth and looked ugly, it was just right for them to wear at this time. Moreover, it felt very thick and must be very warm. It was really low-key and practical.

Her daughter had really grown up, and she had considered every aspect very well.

"Good, good! Mom likes it very much. Thank you, Momo." Mo Yurong choked up. Su

Tingqian was also somewhat moved. Their daughter was far better than they had imagined.

"Dad, you have one too, but I didn't know your size before. I'll measure you today and send it to you in two days." Su Mo said, taking out a ruler from the basket on her back, ready to measure Su Tingqian's size.

"Okay, okay." Su Tingqian quickly stood up to measure Su Mo, and said, "Dad is not in a hurry to wear it, don't be too tired, just take your time."

"There is a sewing machine, it doesn't take much effort, it's very fast." Su Mo said.

Su Tingqian has no feelings for this cheap son-in-law. But from Momo's words, it can be heard that he still cares about Momo.

In the countryside, a new house was built, a 400 yuan betrothal gift was given, a bicycle was bought, a sewing machine, and more than 20 tables were set up, which is considered very good.

Momo said that he had handed over the deposit, which showed how much he valued her. As long as he treated her well, that was enough.

Su Mo wrote down the measurements and said, "Mom and Dad, take the bedding back quickly, lest someone bump into you when they go up the mountain. Take this towel back with you, it's gray and inconspicuous."

"And this, these are chestnuts and walnuts I picked up on the mountain myself, you can take them back to eat."

"By the way, can you trust that middle-aged couple? If you can, I'll send them directly to the cowshed next time. It's not particularly safe to meet them outside." She

was mainly afraid that Su Tingqian and his wife would run into villagers going up the mountain when they returned. She was different. She had space and was a superpower. Her five senses were much more sensitive than those of ordinary people. If someone came, she could find them faster.

"If your Grandpa Zhang is credible, then the couple is good." Su Tingqian said.

"Okay, then I will deliver the things directly to the cowshed next time. I will throw small stones at the door first, and then imitate a few bird calls. If there is nothing wrong, you can open the door for me. If there is something wrong, don't come out. I will wait for ten minutes. If you don't come out, I will leave. The next day, we will wait here at six o'clock as usual." Su Mo explained. "

Okay." The couple nodded.

Although they didn't want their daughter to go to the cowshed, what their daughter said was not wrong. It was not safe outside. Moreover, their daughter had considered everything, so they agreed.

Su Mo helped the couple put the things into their backpacks, trying to compact them as much as possible so that they would not stick out.

"Come back soon, Mom and Dad. I'll bring you some food next time." Su Mo said. As for what else they needed, she was going to go to the cowshed to check and then slowly buy them.

And as for Grandpa Zhang, she would see if he had any cotton-padded clothes. If not, she would buy them for him.

After waving goodbye to Su Mo, the couple went downstairs with their things on their backs, being careful all the way, for fear of running into others.

"Ah Qian, Momo has really grown up." On the way, Mo Yurong sighed.

She was worried before that such a big change would crush her daughter. Although her daughter could not be said to have luxurious clothes and food, she was raised by her parents and had never suffered any hardship, let alone doing farm work.

Unexpectedly, the daughter not only adapted so well, but also had the energy to take care of them while taking care of herself.

The father-in-law was right, there is no coward in the Su family. The daughter was not obvious before, but once she encountered a big thing, she was tougher than most people.

Su Tingqian also sighed, "Yes! It's me who implicated you and your daughter."

How can a person grow up overnight? It's all because of the situation.

"Aqian, don't say that. We are a family and we should share the joys and sorrows." Mo Yurong comforted with heartache.

She knew how much pressure her husband had been under during this time.

Fortunately, there was no one along the way, and the couple returned to the cowshed with their things on their backs.

Zhang Zhen had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the couple coming back, he let them in and quickly closed the door again.

"Did you see them?" Zhang Zhen asked.

"Yeah." Su Tingqian nodded, and returned to the room where they slept with a backpack on his back. "They sent us thick bedding, and also a straw basket of chestnuts and walnuts."

In addition to the large shed where the cows and donkeys were kept, the cowshed also had three adobe houses, just enough for the two couples, Zhang Zhen, and his secretary. The kitchen was a thatched house with a simple stove. There was not even an iron pot, so they could only cook in a large clay pot.

Zhang Zhen looked at the large quilt they took out of the backpack with surprise in his eyes.

"This child is like her grandfather. He is usually quiet, but when it comes to the critical moment, he can do great things." Zhang Zhen said.

Su Tingqian stuffed the quilt into the broken water tank used to store things, blocked it with something, and said: "Uncle Zhang, when it's cold, you can use this quilt."

Uncle Zhang has always been good to their family. When it snows, they can bear it when they are young, but Uncle Zhang can't bear it when he is old.

Zhang Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

If the little girl really has her grandfather's personality, she will definitely get him a thick quilt when she sees that he doesn't have one. Then there will be no need for Tingqian.
