“Hello, Uncle Baozhu.” Qiao Mo saw that it was Shen Baozhu and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Qiao Mo is here. I heard that you were admitted to university?" Shen Baozhu didn't expect it to be Qiao Mo.
"Well, I'll go to school in the city after the New Year." Qiao Mo nodded.
"As expected of Teacher Mu's daughter, she was able to get into university even without attending high school." Shen Baozhu felt sorry for her when he learned she was going to the countryside. "Which university did you get into? What are you planning to do in the future?"
"Tokai University of Foreign Languages. I plan to be a translator in the future."
"It's good to learn foreign languages. You can even work in government agencies in the future." Shen Baozhu knew how powerful people who knew foreign languages were before the special era. Now that the country is promoting the study of foreign languages again, there will definitely be opportunities to put them to use in the future.
Qiao Mo sat in the Shen family for more than half an hour before getting up to say goodbye. Shen Baozhu thought that she had just returned from the countryside and the garden had been planted by the tenants, so she must have no vegetables to eat. So he cut two bags of cabbage from the backyard garden, pulled out two large radishes and a few carrots for her to take back.
Qiao Mo couldn't refuse, so he had to take it back.
"Momo, let's make some sour dishes." Chen Ran suggested when he saw Qiao Mo bringing back two more bags of cabbage.
"That's fine, but I don't know how to make it. Can you?" Qiao Mo thought about how they brought back a lot of cabbage from Dongshan Village, and these families also brought back a lot of cabbage. The leaves would wilt after being stored for a long time and would not taste good. It would be great if they could make sauerkraut.
"I can. I have a neighbor who used to serve in the army in Northeast China and settled down there. His wife is from Northeast China and is very good at making sauerkraut. Every year, they have to make a big jar of sauerkraut. When I have nothing to do, I will go over to help. Over the years, I have learned at least eight or nine out of ten things." Chen Ran said proudly.
"No, leave this matter to Sister Ran." Qiao Mo took out a large jar of soy sauce from the utility room (actually from the space room), washed it, and hung it on the flat ground to dry, ready to use it to store sauerkraut.
Chen Ran looked at the jar and estimated how much cabbage it could hold. He took the cabbage out of the kitchen, cut it in half, washed it and drained the water. Then he put a layer of cabbage and sprinkled a layer of salt on it, then put another layer of cabbage and a layer of salt in the jar, and did this layer by layer until all the cabbage was in. He then sprinkled another layer of salt on it and finally pressed it down with a large clean stone.
"It's done! In a month, you'll be able to enjoy crisp and delicious sauerkraut."
"By then we will all be back to school." Wu Shudong said regretfully, they would be leaving when school started.
"You can come over for dinner on the weekend. There are direct buses from Tunghai University and Tunghai Jiaotong University to here, so it's very convenient to travel." Qiao Mo said, looking at them.
"There is no direct bus from the Normal University to here. It seems that I can't come here often in the future." Tang Xinmei said with a little regret. Donghai Normal University is the farthest from here, and there is no direct bus. It takes most of the day to go back and forth, which is really inconvenient.
"I'm looking for a house near the University of Foreign Languages. If I can find one, I'll move there and it will be convenient for you." Qiao Mo patted her shoulder and comforted her. Donghai Normal University is not far from Donghai University, and there is a direct bus, so it is very convenient to travel.
"Really?" Tang Xinmei asked in surprise. If Qiao Mo moved to live near the University of Foreign Languages, she could reunite with them often.
"Of course it's true. I have already asked my cousin to find a house there." Qiao Mo nodded affirmatively.
"Momo, you're so nice." Tang Xinmei was so excited that she hugged her and spun around twice.
