Chapter 82: My period is coming
Although most people in the village went to the movies, Su Mo didn't dare to stay in the cowshed for too long. After telling the couple about the situation of Uncle Su, Su Mo left quickly. After
returning to the Lujia Village Brigade, Su Mo didn't go to the movies, but went to bed directly.
In the middle of the night, Su Mo suddenly felt a familiar heat flow while sleeping. She got up quickly and turned on the light to see that it was her period. Su Mo quickly took out a paternity towel from the space and put it on.
The original owner had always had irregular menstruation, and her period didn't come many times a year. Su Mo has been using her supernatural powers to nourish her body this month, and there has been some improvement. Her period should come on time.
However, after her body adjusted to normal, Su Mo began to worry again.
In this era, sanitary napkins seem to be sold only in friendship stores. There are definitely no such stores in Qingxi County, a small place. She doesn't have much space, and no matter how frugal she is, it won't last long.
Does she have to stock up on cotton and make sanitary napkins herself in the future? Or buy a sanitary belt and tissue pads? It doesn't seem impossible.
After packing up, Su Mo went back to sleep.
I don't know if it was because of her period, but Su Mo slept very deeply. She woke up the next day when she heard someone calling her.
Su Mo got up quickly and looked at her watch. It was already eight o'clock.
She quickly put on her clothes and got up. She opened the door and saw Ma Xiaojuan and Chen Lan outside the courtyard gate. Su Mo hurried over to open the gate.
"Su Mo, are you okay?" Ma Xiaojuan was a little worried when she saw that Su Mo had not come back since she went home last night, so she came to see her this morning.
"It's okay. I just had my period and I feel a little uncomfortable." Su Mo had to use this ready-made excuse. "
Oh. Then you must keep warm and have a good rest. Do you have any brown sugar? Drink some brown sugar water." Ma Xiaojuan sometimes suffers from dysmenorrhea, so she knows this feeling very well.
"Yes, I'll make some later." Su Mo nodded and said to the two of them, "Come in and sit for a while?"
Ma Xiaojuan waved her hand, "No, we have to go collect firewood, otherwise there will be no firewood to heat the kang in winter. I saw that you didn't come back last night, so I came to see you."
"I'm fine, thank you, Xiaojuan."
"Well, there's nothing to thank you for between friends. I'm leaving. Have a good rest." Ma Xiaojuan waved her hand and left with Chen Lan.
Her period was coming, and Su Mo didn't plan to go out, so she stayed at home to make delicious food.
After tidying herself up, Su Mo took out the big bones she bought the day before, washed them, cut them into pieces, put them in a large casserole, threw in a few red dates, lit a small stove, and slowly simmered them.
She soaked a handful of kelp, and when the soup turned milky white, she cut the soaked kelp and put it in.
Then, she dug the soil off another four-leaf wild ginseng, plucked off a few small whiskers, washed them and put them in the soup.
She planned to take turns pluck these two four-leaf wild ginsengs. Otherwise, it would be bad if she caught one and was left alone.
While the soup was boiling, Su Mo took out the fifty kilograms of meat she bought yesterday, cut it into long strips, and did not deliberately consider the weight. She cut about forty strips.
Then she took one to chop stuffing, and took four or five fresh sweet corns from the space, broke them into corn kernels, and prepared to make dumplings with corn and pork stuffing.
After a busy morning of kneading dough, rolling out dumpling wrappers, wrapping dumplings, and boiling them in water, Su Mo made two large basins of dumplings. She put them all in the storage space, and when she wanted to eat, she could just take them out and eat them directly.
The bone soup was also cooked. Su Mo first took a small clay pot and filled it up, preparing to bring it to her parents and Grandpa Zhang when she went to the cowshed next time.
Then she took another large basin, filled it with food, carried it in a bamboo basket, and sent it to Lu's house.
Li Yue'e had just come back from the mountains to collect firewood, and had not had time to cook. Seeing Su Mo sending things over again, she was really in a bad mood.
"Xiao Mo, why are you sending things again? I don't need to cook now, I can just eat at your house."
Su Mo was stunned. It was the first time she heard Li Yue'e call her name.
Then she couldn't help but smile again. So she was considered to have caught the eye of her mother-in-law and had a name in her mouth?
"It's not a good thing. I just bought some bones the day before yesterday and boiled some kelp soup. It's cold now, and it's good for moistening the throat and warming the body." Su Mo said with a smile.
It seems that she, the daughter-in-law, has done a good job.
"While it's still hot, why don't you help grandpa get up and drink something?" Su Mo asked. It was almost one o'clock now, and the old man must be hungry.
"Okay." Li Yue'e said, washed her hands, filled a large bowl and took it to the room for Lu Bo Ming.
I went to collect firewood today and walked a little far, so I was indeed late to come back.
Su Mo followed him and went to help.
Lu Bo Ming was asleep at this time. When Su Mo saw him, she was secretly surprised. The old man's vitality was already very weak, and he even had a dead aura on his body.
"Mom, haven't you given grandpa pears these days?" Su Mo couldn't help asking.
Could it be that because the oil ran out and the lamp went out, those weak vitality had no effect?
"I ate it." Li Yue'e sighed, "The weather is cold, and it's not good to eat too much."
The main reason was that the old man couldn't eat much anymore. He was so stubborn that he didn't go out to the main room to eat since yesterday.
Li Yue'e woke up Lu Boming, helped him up and leaned on the kangqin. Su Mo quickly brought the kang table over and brought the soup to the old man.
"Grandpa, I made some kelp and bone soup, you drink some to moisten your body."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaomo." Lu Boming sat for a while, then picked up the spoon and scooped the soup to drink.
Lu Boming took a sip and found it very suitable for his taste. He couldn't help but drink a few more sips. The more he drank, the warmer his cold body felt. Before he knew it, he had finished a bowl of soup.
Li Yue'e was about to cry.
Great! As long as you can eat it.
Li Yue'e quickly took the bowl and said, "Dad, I'll get you another bowl. There's still a lot." After saying that, she quickly went to the kitchen to get more.
Xiaomo is still good. She is filial and the food she cooks is delicious. Grandpa can eat it too.
Lu Boming drank two bowls of soup in a row before he stopped. But he still looked weak, so the two of them helped him lie down again.
On the way back, Su Mo was in a heavy mood. She didn't expect the old man's condition to deteriorate so quickly. She had to give him the wild ginseng as soon as possible, otherwise she estimated that the old man would not live for a few days.
Lu Qingan also went up the mountain with Li Yue'e to collect firewood today. Li Yue'e had to come back to cook, so she came back early and he came back later.
After Lu Qing'an came back, he went to see Lu Boming first. Seeing that he was sleeping, he went to the kitchen to ask Li Yue'e.
"How is Dad? Did he eat anything?"
"He drank two bowls of kelp bone soup, which Xiaomo brought to me." Li Yue'e said, "Dad likes this soup. Let's each drink a bowl to try it. The rest will be saved for Dad to drink in the evening."
"Okay!" Lu Qing'an nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The third sister's cooking is delicious. Why don't we let her cook for Dad, so that Dad can eat more."
Li Yue'e thought about it and it was true. She was used to cooking roughly, and her cooking was indeed not as delicious as Xiaomo's.
"Okay, I'll talk to her after dinner. This child is filial and will definitely agree."
