Chapter 66 Visiting Geng Changqing

Because she had a big meal at noon, Su Mo did not cook at night. She took two buns from the space and ate them for dinner. She

also washed a bunch of grapes as fruit after the meal. These scarce and difficult to transport fruits could only be eaten by herself.

After taking care of herself, Su Mo closed the doors and windows as usual and started her sweater knitting.

Knitting sweaters is a delicate job. According to the book, if she knits in the morning and evening, it is estimated that she can finish knitting in a week. If she only knits at night, it is estimated that it will take half a month or even longer.

Su Mo plans to knit more diligently, finish the sweater as soon as possible, and send it to Lu Changzheng before the snow falls.

Anyway, many people go up the mountain to harvest autumn crops during this period, and she is not prepared to go up the mountain at this time. She will wait until this period is over.

Her battery still has half of its power left. Based on her current usage, it is estimated that it can last for about a month. However, she must charge the battery before the snow falls to ensure that she has enough electricity for the winter.

When it was almost time to weave, Su Mo went to bed.

The next day, she got up early as usual and took care of the vegetable garden.

Before, when Su Mo scattered the seeds, she sprinkled them directly, so the vegetables grew densely in some places.

Su Mo first reduced the burden on the radish field, pulling out some radish seedlings in the densely growing areas, leaving those with more energy, to ensure that the remaining radish seedlings had enough space to produce large radishes.

In this way, she pulled out a bamboo basket full of radish seedlings. Tender radish sprouts are delicious. They are perfect for making meat soup or egg soup. Even stir-frying is good. They should not be wasted.

Su Mo collected some of them and put them in the space. The rest was divided into two portions. One portion was for her to eat at noon, and the other portion was to be sent to Li Yue'e at noon.

After transferring the supernatural power to Renshen, Su Mo sat on the kang and started knitting a sweater.

At around ten o'clock, Su Mo heard Li Yue'e calling her: "Old Third, are you home?"

Su Mo was sitting on the kang, so she didn't plan to go down to greet her. She leaned her head out of the window and shouted: "Mom, I'm in the room, come in."

Li Yue'e came in with a bamboo basket. Seeing Su Mo knitting a sweater on the kang, she had already knitted a short section. She smiled and asked: "Is this the sweater knitted for Chang Zheng?"

"Yes." Su Mo nodded.

Li Yue'e wiped her hands with clothes, reached out and touched it, and it was very soft and comfortable. She was surprised: "Old Third, is this pure wool?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Yes."

Li Yue'e smacked her lips. Pure wool is very expensive, and Old Third is really willing to spend it.

She is a woman who loves men!

"Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?" Su Mo asked.

Li Yue'e sat down on the kang, lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket, and took out two pieces of cloth from it.

"Old Third's, this piece of plaid cloth was given to you by Xiaolan, make a piece of clothing yourself. You gave her a dacron shirt, and she was very happy, and she has always remembered it." Li Yue'e said.

"When you got married, she didn't want to be too different from her two brothers, so she didn't give you a gift. Now that the beautiful cloth came, she immediately tore it and asked me to bring it to you."

Su Mo was a little surprised, she didn't expect Lu Xiaolan to tear cloth for her to make clothes.

"Mom, we're a family and there's no need to be so polite. Xiaolan took leave to look after me during the few days I was in the hospital, so it's no big deal to give her a piece of clothing. I have a lot of clothes, so I'll give the cloth back to Xiaolan so she can make her own clothes." Cloth

coupons were very hard to come by those days, and to tear off such a large piece of cloth, Lu Xiaolan must have saved up the coupons for a long time.

"If she gives it to you, just keep it. She works at the supply and marketing cooperative, and they have defective cloth to deal with from time to time. It's easier for her to get cloth than for us." Li Yue'e said, "Just don't tell anyone, so as to avoid the eldest and second sons' families."

Li Yue'e put the plaid cloth on the kang for Su Mo, and took another piece of black cloth and said to Su Mo, "This is what mother tore for you. Make a pair of pants for yourself, and you will have a new set of clothes."

Su Mo quickly stopped knitting and waved her hands, saying, "Mom, I have enough clothes to wear, really. You can take it back and make one for yourself or my father."

Li Yue'e pressed Su Mo down . Li Yue'e held Lu Changzheng 's hand and said, "You have to keep it. It's our old people's intention. We should have bought it for you when you got married, but that idiot Third Brother didn't even buy you the cloth to make new clothes."

Su Mo defended Lu Changzheng, "He gave me the cloth coupons, but I had too many clothes so I didn't make any more. I used the cloth coupons to make the cotton-padded jacket."

Li Yue'e smiled, "That's different. Anyway, you can keep the cloth and make yourself new clothes in the spring." Since

Li Yue'e said this, Su Mo accepted it as well. "Thank you, mother and Xiaolan."

Li Yue'e smiled and waved her hand.

"When the family was divided, the third son suffered a great loss, but there was nothing parents could do. He was the most promising one, and when he was still in the family, they had to let him go. Now that you have started your own families, parents have completed their mission for them. Now that the family is divided, you just need to live your own lives."

Su Mo expressed her understanding. In this era, isn't it all about having a big family? It is normal for the promising ones to be left behind and the poor ones to be left behind. Li Yue'e and her husband were already very open-minded. After they all got married, they divided the family and let everyone live their own lives.

If you meet parents-in-law who want to control the economy after marriage, life will be difficult.

Li Yue'e nodded with relief. She was afraid that the third son's family would feel uncomfortable.

"You are a good person. You can knit a sweater. Mother is going back."

Li Yue'e stood up and prepared to leave. Su Mo quickly got off the kang and handed the radish seedlings to Li Yue'e. Li Yue'e took it with a smile and went back.

In the afternoon, Su Mo filled a large net bag with chestnuts and walnuts, and also packed some dried hazel mushrooms. She also filled a sack with most of chestnuts and walnuts, and packed a large bag of hazel mushrooms. She also wrote a letter, briefly explaining the situation here, and stuffed it into the sack. The things

in the net bag were prepared to be sent to Geng Changqing, and the things in the sack were prepared to be mailed to Su Tingde.

Putting the things in the bamboo basket, Su Mo set off on her bike.

She first went to the commune post office and gave the things to her uncle to mail. Because the distance was far, she spent 1 yuan on postage.

Then she carried the things in the net bag and entered the commune office building.

After she told the clerk on the first floor that she was Geng Changqing's niece and had something to do with him, the clerk on the first floor made a phone call and soon a young man came down to pick her up.

"I am Fu Ming, the secretary of the Party Committee. Secretary Geng asked me to take you upstairs." The young man said.

Su Mo followed Fu Ming all the way up to the third floor and arrived at Geng Changqing's office.

When Su Mo went in, Geng Changqing was eating with a lunch box. The rice had already gone cold and was clumping together. Geng Changqing poured some hot water from the thermos, mixed it and continued eating.

Seeing Su Mo looking at him in surprise, he pointed to the stool beside the table and said, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Sit down."

"Uncle Geng, why are you eating now?" Su Mo came in the afternoon because she thought he would not be so busy in the afternoon.

After all, isn't work usually busier in the morning and less busy in the afternoon? In the original owner's memory, her job was like this.

Geng Changqing smiled and said, "I've been a little busy preparing to pay the rations during this period." In fact, there was not a single day when he wasn't busy, and it was common for him to forget to eat.

Su Mo raised the net bag in her hand, "Uncle Geng, I went up the mountain to collect some mountain products recently, and I'll give you some to try."

"Did you pick them up yourself?"

Su Mo nodded.

Geng Changqing smiled, "I didn't expect you to be able to do these things."

Su Mo smiled, "We've all come to the countryside, so we should follow the local customs."

"Okay, you picked them up yourself, so I have to try them, put them there." Geng Changqing pointed to the table by the window.

Su Mo went over, put the net bag on the table, and then came back to sit down.

Geng Changqing finished his meal in a few bites, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then stood up to pour Su Mo a glass of water.

"How come you have time to come to see me today?"

Su Mo smiled awkwardly, "I picked some mountain products and dried them, so I quickly sent them to Uncle Geng for him to taste."

She explained, "Uncle Geng, I really didn't know you were here. My family didn't tell me. I went to the countryside for the autumn harvest and had no time to come to the commune. I didn't know the leadership team here either." Geng Changqing

waved his hand, "It's no problem. Come to me if you have any problems in the future."

Su Mo nodded.

Geng Changqing opened the drawer, took out a stack of bills and handed them to Su Mo, "Take it, you need money a lot."

Su Mo's eyes flashed. From what he said, it seemed that he knew about her sending gifts to her parents, so she asked tentatively, "Do you know?"

Geng Changqing nodded, "Xiao Mo, you did a good job. If you have any problems in the future, come to me. However, you should also pay attention to your own safety."

For some things, it is indeed more convenient for Su Mo to come forward than for him.

Su Mo nodded quickly. It's good that he can make a clear statement and is willing to help.

After all, in the original owner's memory, Uncle Geng has not been seen for three or four years, and she doesn't know what his attitude is.

Geng Changqing pushed the bill forward again, "Here's the money. When we were little, you always asked me to buy you candy. Now you're being polite?"

Su Mo chuckled and took the money.

Oh! It's really hard to adapt to the days when people want to give her money everywhere.
