Chapter 73 Uncle's Remittance Arrived After
selling the oranges, Su Mo went home.
In a place where no one was around, she took out a basket of white pears and a basket of various vegetables from the space, and also took a few kilograms of oranges.
After returning to the brigade, Su Mo went to Lu's house first. Li Yue'e happened to be at home, so Su Mo asked her to take a basket to carry the pears.
"Mom, I only bought one basket of these pears, and I'll give you most of them." Su Mo said.
"Okay, you decide how to divide it. I didn't expect that I really bought you a basket." Li Yue'e was surprised. She just said it casually at the time. For
such pears, she thought that buying ten kilograms would be the limit, but she didn't expect that she really bought a basket. The third brother's family is also capable.
Su Mo gave most of the basket of pears to Li Yue'e, and then lifted the earthen cloth covering another basket, and took out seven or eight tangerines and put them in the basket.
"I happened to have some tangerines, so I bought some too. I'll give some to you to try."
Li Yue'e saw that the other basket was full of juicy vegetables, and her eyes lit up again.
This smart person is different. The things bought by the third brother's family are all the best, even the vegetables are better than others.
Thinking of the basket of cabbage that the second brother's family bought from her mother's house today, Li Yue'e felt disdainful. Although the second brother's family said that it was given by her mother's family, she didn't believe it at all.
With Zhao Jiuxiang's personality of tearing off a leg if a mosquito flew over, could he give his daughter a basket of cabbage for free?
"Old Third's, where did you buy these vegetables? They look good."
"I bought them in the county. I bought some because they looked cheap. You can take some too." Su Mo brought out so many vegetables on purpose. These vegetables can also help induce labor. Eating them is good for Lu Boying's health.
"Okay, then you can give me some." Li Yue'e said, and she will pay for them together with Li later.
She ate the vegetables brought from Old Third's several times, and always felt that they were sweeter and more delicious than other vegetables.
Su Mo gave half of all the vegetables to Li Yue'e, and helped her carry the bamboo basket back to the room.
"Old Third's, how much is it in total?" Li Yue'e asked.
Su Mo waved her hands, "Mom, these are gifts from Changzheng and I to show our filial piety to Grandpa. They are free."
"How can this be possible!" Li Yue'e was anxious and wanted to get the money. How can we eat all the food from the third brother's house every day?
"Mom, when the family was divided, grandpa gave us 100 yuan. As the younger generation, how can we just take the old man's money?" Su Mo held Li Yue'e, "Grandpa will not cough so easily after eating this pear, so give him more."
"Your father and I will buy whatever your grandpa wants to eat, so it's your turn now."
"It's our duty to be filial." Su Mo said, and hurried out of the house, "Mom, I'll go home first."
Seeing Su Mo running away quickly, Li Yue'e looked helpless, but her heart was warm.
The third brother has good taste, and he did not marry the wrong daughter-in-law.
"I put a few bundles of wheat in your yard. It's getting colder today. I'm afraid there will be frost in a few days. You should cover the vegetable plot at night to prevent the vegetables from being damaged by frost." Li Yue'e shouted.
"Okay." Su Mo responded and rode her bicycle back home.
After getting home and moving the things back to the house, Su Mo went to the yard and saw that there were indeed a few bundles of wheat piled in the corner. The vegetable plot had also been watered. It should be Li Yue'e who helped her water it.
Su Mo went to transfer some supernatural powers to each vegetable plot, and then went back to the house, took out the coarse cloth, and prepared to sew a quilt cover for Zhang Zhen's quilt.
Su Mo is already very experienced in doing all these. She first used a sewing machine to piece together the coarse cloth to make an open quilt cover. After putting the quilt in, she sewed the opening tightly with white cotton thread. It took more than an hour to finish.
After finishing, seeing that it was getting late, Su Mo started to cook dinner.
Before cooking, she cut the newly bought 5 catties of pork into 5 strips of about 1 catty each, and then cut a little for reserve, and put the rest back into the space. She will make a portion every time she goes to the cowshed in the future.
After chopping the reserved meat, Su Mo took two tomatoes and cut them into small pieces, took some flour from the space, added water and stirred it into small dumplings, preparing to make dumpling soup tonight.
She used the same small stove she used in the last days. She heated up some oil in a pan, fried tomatoes into a paste, then added minced meat and stir-fried them. She added the appropriate amount of sugar and pepper, poured water and boiled it, then slowly poured in the dumplings while stirring. While
the dumplings were cooking, Su Mo took another egg, beat it, and poured it into the dumpling soup, quickly stirred it evenly, then added chopped green onions and an appropriate amount of salt, and it was ready. It
was simple and delicious, and Su Mo also enjoyed it.
After dinner, Su Mo began to count the food she had stored. She
had already eaten all the 150 dumplings stuffed with leeks, and there were still a dozen or so stuffed with cabbage and pork, and there were more stuffed with mushrooms, about twenty left.
When the brigade slaughtered the pigs and divided the meat, she would see if she could buy more meat to make more buns and dumplings. When the weather got cold and hard, she would ask her parents to hide the fruits in the snow, and they could dig them out and steam them when they wanted to eat.
She consumed about 500 to 600 kilograms of fruit, but not much of other things.
She had 3,054.74 yuan! She took 873.4 yuan from the cowshed, plus the 100 yuan given by Geng Changqing, which was nearly 1,000 yuan.
It was all thanks to the elders that she became wealthy in advance.
However, she also made more than 200 yuan from selling fruits, which was a high income according to the current income level.
The manuscript should have been received by the newspaper in Hai City by now. Whether it worked or not, we will know the result in about ten days.
At night, Su Mo closed the doors and windows, and made a cotton coat for Xiao Ding according to Su Tingqian's measurements. After making several sets in a row, she was considered an expert. Su Mo finished the cotton coat that night, and only had to wait until tomorrow to sew and reinforce it.
The next day, Su Mo was still knitting sweaters at home. She tried to finish the sweaters in the next few days, and then made meat sauce and sent it to Lu Changzheng so that he could wear it when it was cold.
At this moment, Lu Changzheng was leading a team of people to shuttle quickly through the jungle, and gunshots could be heard from time to time not far away. The team was covered in dust and had unshaven beards, like savages. But everyone's expressions were happy, and it was obvious that they had completed the task.
In the afternoon, a notice suddenly came from the brigade radio, asking Su Mo to go to the brigade headquarters to sign for the remittance slip.
It was impossible for the postman to deliver mail to every household, so they would go to the brigade headquarters and let people pick it up themselves. If there were some that needed to be signed in person, they would also notify people to go to the brigade headquarters to sign through the brigade radio.
After hearing this, Su Mo quickly put down her sweater and went over. She thought to herself, maybe Lu Changzheng had sent money.
When the broadcast was just made, the announcer also announced who had received letters, so when Su Mo arrived, many people came to pick up the letters. Most of them were educated youth, and a small number were villagers.
After Su Mo greeted the people she knew, she went to the postman to sign the notice.
An old lady next to her asked gossipingly, "Su, educated youth, did your husband send money back?"
Su Mo saw that the remitter was Fu Manhua, so she said, "No, it was sent by my family."
The old lady looked out and exclaimed, "Oh! They actually sent 50 yuan. Su, educated youth, your family really loves you."
Su Mo: ...
These days, the remittance notices really have no privacy at all. If you pay a little attention, you can see everything.
Soon, the news that Su Mo's family had given her 50 yuan spread throughout the village. When Li Cuihua heard this, she was so angry that she didn't even eat dinner and went to lie on the kang.
