Chapter 78: Lu Qingan was frightened to the point of his legs going limp

The next day, Su Mo was awakened by the screams of her second brother.

The Lujia Village brigade kept 10 pigs for meat distribution. This time, 4 were killed first to share the meat with everyone. The remaining 6 were killed before the Chinese New Year and the meat was shared with everyone for the New Year.

The brigade's batch of pigs was well raised. Each of the pigs that arrived at the purchasing station before weighed more than 140 kilograms, and there were even big fat pigs weighing more than 160 kilograms.

Although the remaining 10 pigs were a little thinner, there were still more than three months before the Chinese New Year. By the time of the Chinese New Year, they would be able to become big fat pigs weighing more than 160 kilograms.

Since she was awake, Su Mo was not going to stay in bed. She got up and went to the vegetable garden to take a look. Sure enough, there was a little frost. It seemed that she would have to cover the wheat field at night in the future.

The temperature drops quickly in the north. Once cold air comes, the temperature drops very quickly. Su Mo took out the quilt to cover herself before going to bed last night.

Su Mo estimated that at this rate, it would snow in a month at the latest.

Su Mo increased the input of her supernatural powers into the vegetable field, trying to control the vegetables to a level that can be harvested within half a month. Anyway, the vegetables have been planted for half a month, so it is not too surprising to harvest in more than a month.

Just cut the cabbage when it is tender, and pull the radish when it is small.

If people ask why it grows so well, she can say that the land has never been planted before and is fertile.

With an acre producing 10,000 kilograms of crops in front of her, it is not a big deal that her vegetables grow a little faster than others.

It didn't take her ten days or half a month to grow. It took her a little more than a month. The greenhouse vegetables in later generations also grew at this speed. It didn't violate the growth law of plants. Even if people from the Agricultural Research Institute came to study it, they couldn't find anything wrong.

For breakfast, Su Mo simply cooked egg noodles, using the noodles that were originally in her space.

After eating, Su Mo continued to knit a sweater. After last night's struggle, she had already knitted two-thirds of one sleeve.

She planned to finish knitting it today, and when the meat was almost divided, she would go to see if there was any left, buy some and make mushroom meat sauce, and send it to Lu Changzheng.

Li Yue'e went to line up for the meat early in the morning. This time, she asked for four pounds, two pounds of pork fat and two pounds of pork belly. The pork fat was used to make oil. One pound of the two pounds of pork belly was eaten at home, and one pound was given to the third brother's family, because she had no share of meat.

After receiving the meat, Li Yue'e went straight to Su Mo with a basket.

"The third brother's family, you have no share of meat, so mother will give you one pound." Li Yue'e said as she entered the house.

"Mom, no need, I will go to the brigade to buy some later, you can take it home and eat it yourself." Su Mo was sitting on the kang knitting a sweater, and she quickly stuck her head out to refuse.

"This time we killed few pigs, and there will be nothing left after dividing them. You can only buy some bones and the like. Take it, we are a family, so there is no need to be so polite." Li Yue'e put the meat on the chopping board and left.

When Su Mo got off the kang and came out, everyone had already gone far away.

Su Mo looked at the meat on the chopping board, and her heart was a little warm.

Is this what it means to exchange sincerity for sincerity? She was kind to the old man, and the old man began to miss her.

Su Mo decided to make more mushroom meat sauce and send a portion to the old man. If there was not enough meat, she would use the meat in the space and buy more when the time came.

In the middle of the morning, Su Mo went to the brigade headquarters with a basket. As expected, there was nothing left, only some bones.

Su Mo asked for two large bones to make soup. She also bought a few ribs. The ribs at this time were not like those in later generations with a lot of meat. The meat was almost removed. Then she asked for half a pig's head, which was about three or four pounds.

The ribs and bones together cost 50 cents, and half a pig's head cost 80 cents, a total of 1.3 yuan.

Pig heads are cheap and the meat is not small, so many people want them. However, these things are usually reserved for people who help kill pigs.

Su Mo didn't know this, so she asked for it directly. The person in charge of selling meat was a smart person. Seeing that Su Mo wanted it, he hesitated for a moment and sold it to her.

So, Su Mo bought half a pig head by relying on her multiple identities as the secretary's niece, the branch secretary's daughter-in-law, and the military officer's wife.

After the meat was divided, the whole village was filled with the aroma of meat. After Su Mo went back, she also lit a fire in the small stove, took out the four pounds of pork fat that she bought earlier, cut it into small pieces, put it in a sand pot, and put it on the small stove to boil pork fat.

Then she continued to work on her sweater until the afternoon, when she finally finished knitting it.

The pig fat had already been boiled, and Su Mo had put it aside. It had cooled and solidified.

Su Mo took out a newly bought enamel pot, washed it clean and wiped it dry, scooped a pot of pig fat into it, covered it with a lid, tied it up with wheat straw, and put it away. She was going

to send it to the cowshed when the time came. Occasionally eating some pig fat would be considered eating meat.

Su Mo also put away most of the remaining pig fat in the casserole, and occasionally she could use it to stir-fry vegetables. The pig fat residue was also put away in the space, and she would use it to make dumplings later.

After finishing all this, Su Mo began to deal with the things she bought today.

After cleaning and drying the pig head, Su Mo placed a large casserole on the stove, put cold water in the pot, put the pig head in, added brine, and prepared to brine the pork head meat.

She also took a few large potatoes from the space, and when the pork head meat was almost brine, she put them in to blanch.

Then, she began to prepare the mushroom meat sauce.

Since it was already done, Su Mo made more, and took out four pounds of the five pounds of meat in the space. After making it, she sent some to Lu Changzheng, and also gave some to Lu's family, the cowshed, and Geng Changqing.

The last time she met Geng Changqing for dinner, there was no good dish, so it would be nice to make some mushroom meat sauce for him to eat with rice.

Good cadres should be cared for!

While Su Mo was making mushroom meat sauce, the postman rode his bicycle to the brigade headquarters.

After distributing the meat today, the brigade cadres stayed at the brigade headquarters to discuss how many people should be sent to dig the canal.

At this time, everyone had finished the discussion and were preparing to go home.

Lu Qingan came out and saw the postman and asked with a smile: "Are there any more letters from our brigade today?" There have been quite a lot of letters recently.

The postman nodded, "There is a telegram from Su Mo. I'll deliver it to her. Please notify her to come over."

"There is a telegram? Where is it sent from?" Lu Qingan asked.

"Shenyang Military Region." The postman said, with a look of sympathy. Generally, telegrams sent from military regions are not good.

"Where?" Lu Qingan's voice was a little higher.

"Shenyang Military Region." The postman said again.

Lu Qing'an suddenly felt a chill in his body, as if he had lost all his strength.

The Shenyang Military Region was the third brother's. Thinking that the third brother was urgently summoned, and that a soldier in the brigade had passed away, and the troops had sent telegrams...

Lu Qing'an suddenly staggered for several steps. The postman was startled and quickly supported him.

"Secretary Lu, what's wrong with you?"

"Give me the telegram. Su Mo is my third son's daughter-in-law. I'm here to see her." Lu Qing'an's voice began to tremble.

The postman knew that Secretary Lu had a son in the army, but he didn't expect that Su Mo was the daughter-in-law of that son.

The postman looked at Lu Qing'an with some sympathy. After giving him the telegram, he comforted him: "Maybe, it's not a bad thing."

Lu Qing'an took a few deep breaths, and then he opened the telegram with shaking hands.

When I opened it, I saw only a few words written on it.

"I have returned safely to the army. I miss you and look forward to your letter."

Lu Qingan: ...

This is also a piece of shit. If he misses his wife, he can just write a letter. Why send a telegram? It almost scared his father to death.
