Putting the remaining money into the space, Su Mo counted it and found that there was still 933.27 yuan left.
She is also planning to buy a bicycle, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go to the county town in the future. But she didn’t have a ticket. Going to the black market to buy a bicycle ticket would probably cost forty or fifty. Plus the money to buy the bicycle, two hundred yuan was gone.
This matter of making money must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
While there was still time, Su Mo took out a history book and studied it carefully. In two days, she planned to go to the commune post office to buy some current newspapers and familiarize herself with the current writing style.
When you make money, buy another semiconductor and learn about national affairs every day.
The windows in the educated youth room were not very wide, and the light started to get bad in the evening. Su Mo took out the desk lamp and looked at it for a while, then put away the books and the desk lamp and prepared to cook.
The educated youth take turns cooking, and today it should be the male educated youth's turn. But the food they cooked was really unpalatable, so Su Mo had to cook it herself in order to be able to eat it.
It's not delicious in the first place, but if it's cooked like pig food, who can eat it?
When Su Mo and the others first arrived, the brigade lent each of them 10 kilograms of corn flour, 20 kilograms of corn mash, and 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes. What they eat every day is these things and vegetables, and only occasionally they have a meal of fried green peppers with eggs, which is more green peppers and less eggs.
The meal Su Mo cooked last night was the best meal they had ever had since they went to the countryside.
Su Mo first cooked the corn porridge, cut a few pieces of sweet potatoes in it, and took out some red kidney beans that she used as seeds from the space, and grabbed two handfuls of them.
These things can be spawned at any time after her powers are upgraded, which doesn't bother her.
Then I went to the vegetable garden to pick some eggplants and beans, and some cabbage, preparing to make a stewed eggplant with beans and stir-fry cabbage.

On the other hand, after Li Yuee and Lu Xiaolan came out of the commune office building, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative together.
When she was shopping at noon, she saw that there were still some big bones left after the meat had been removed. They only cost 50 cents without a ticket, so she bought them and put them in the supply and marketing cooperative first. After finishing the work, I took it home and stewed cabbage and potatoes.
Although there is not much meat, it does have a meaty taste.
This kind of thing is usually digested internally by their supply and marketing cooperative. She is also the daughter who works there and is familiar with them, so they sell her.
After the mother and daughter returned to the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw other salespeople gathering together, seemingly chatting about something.
"Hey, what's new for you guys? Come and let us hear it." Lu Xiaolan said with a smile.
"Telling about your family." The eldest sister who took Lu Changzheng and others to the collective workshop said. She said good things, and she wasn't afraid that they would know.
"Oh? What are you talking about about my family?" Lu Xiaolan's smile was a little forced.
The Hongqi Commune was only so big. Not only the people in the Lujiacun brigade knew about her third brother's decision, but some of her colleagues in the supply and marketing cooperative also knew about it.
"Your brother's partner is not only handsome, but also generous. For 28 yuan, I paid for it right away," the eldest sister said. At that time, she did not leave immediately, but listened for a while before leaving.
The eldest sister's surname is Huang, and her father-in-law is the branch secretary of another brigade. Last year, a saleswoman at the supply and marketing cooperative had a baby. She came in through some connections, and she has been doing it ever since.
But she is only a temporary worker, and her salary is only 14 yuan per month. 28 yuan is equivalent to two months of her salary.
"What?" Lu Xiaolan didn't understand.
Sister Huang told Su Mo again about custom-made bedding, then took Li Yue'e's hand and said with a smile: "Aunt, you are so lucky. I think your future daughter-in-law is first-class in appearance, dress and bearing. She will definitely be in the city." From a good family, your son has really good taste."
She said that she had heard that she was going to marry a female soldier from the art troupe, but why was she suddenly replaced by an educated youth? It turned out that there was a better one.
The Lujiacun Brigade Party Secretary and his family are really evil and evil, and they take advantage of everything.
Why was such a well-off educated youth not assigned to their brigade?
She also has a brother-in-law who is not married yet. If he can become a big relative in the city, he will have a lot of glory in the future.
Su Zhiqing's family is not ordinary at first glance. She could see that the watch she was wearing was from Shanghai, the material of her clothes was particularly good, and she was also wearing white cloth shoes.
These white cloth shoes are not sold in supply and marketing cooperatives. They are probably only available in department stores in big cities.
The way she took out the money showed that she was used to seeing money. The 28 yuan in her hand seemed to be just like 2 yuan.
It's a pity that such a good partner was taken advantage of by someone else...
Because they wanted to criticize the advanced team, the villagers in Lujiacun didn't even say anything about Su Mo falling into the water. Therefore, Sister Huang still doesn't know there is such a reason.
After hearing this, Li Yue'e roared in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face and said, "Oh, thank you so much, sister. Xiao Su is really a good kid, and I like him more and more the more I watch."
These two lousy things didn't even talk to her. They were still in love this morning, and now they have started making quilts, and she hasn't mentioned the kiss yet.
"It's hard to say what fate is. I was originally worried that my third child was going to be a bachelor, so I bothered to make arrangements. But I didn't expect that just after I came back, the two of them fell in love as soon as they met, and it didn't cost us as parents anything. Xin, my third child has made the arrangements himself."
"I said I wanted to see each other before, but now I don't need to. No, just now I carried my things to the middleman to apologize. We country people are honest and feel that it is our fault after all, and we feel very sorry."
"But now everyone advocates freedom of love, and we, the older generation, can't do anything about it."
"No wonder they say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As parents, sometimes it's better not to work blindly."
Li Yue'e said she felt guilty. She also had some eloquence. She usually quarreled with the gossiping women in the brigade and never lost.
"Auntie, there is always success or failure in seeing each other. If we don't see each other well, it means there is no fate. You still come to the door with gifts to apologize, which is already very particular." Another colleague of Lu Xiaolan consoled her.
Li Yue'e chatted with them for a while, then took her big bone, bought another pound of candy, and hurried home.
After arriving home, Lu Changzheng was indeed at home, chatting with his father in Lu Boming's room.
"Lao San, come here." Li Yue'e called outside the door.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Seeing that Li Yuee's face was not very good, Lu Changzheng thought it was because the conversation with Director Liu was not going well.
"What's the matter with you? Didn't you say you would propose marriage in a few days? Why are you making quilts today?" They all prepare dowry after proposing marriage.
"She was going to buy cotton today. She didn't know the market situation here. You don't know how short of cotton there is in big cities. If you don't prepare early, you won't be able to buy it. Isn't that right? I remember that our commune had workshops. In the past Once you ask, we can make a decision on the spot if it can be done, saving you a trip." Lu Changzheng beautified his wife.
"By the way, we are planning to get married as soon as possible. Mom, please call a few of your good aunts tomorrow and we will go to the educated youth center to propose marriage together. Once the application is approved, we will go and get the certificate."
Li Yue'e laughed angrily, she was really right, everything was arranged clearly. It's easy to propose marriage now. In the past, there wasn't even enough time to prepare things.
"Let me propose marriage tomorrow. Have you prepared the things?"
Lu Changzheng was stunned, "What do you need? I'll buy it early tomorrow morning."
"Just going through the motions, or should we be more dignified?" Li Yuee asked.
"It's natural to be decent."
Yes, I'm obsessed with it.
"Then buy 2 jins of cake, 2 jins of fruit candies, and 2 jins of red dates."
Lu Changzheng nodded.
"The bride price will be as promised that day?" That day she said it would be two hundred.
"I'll give you another two hundred, give me four hundred."
"Give me so much?" Li Yue'e almost jumped up.
Two hundred is a very good betrothal gift in the city, but four hundred is probably not that much to marry a daughter of a high-ranking official.
Suddenly, Li Yue'e seemed to think of something and asked, "Did something happen to her family and she needed money?"
"Mom, where are you thinking?" Lu Changzheng was helpless.
The main reason is that his mother hasn't proposed marriage yet, so he can't talk about his wife and buys a lot of dowry to avoid making a bad impression on his mother.
So, this is the difference in thinking.
In the minds of young people in later generations, young people can start preparations after they have reached an agreement, but in the 1990s, they still had to go through the procedures.
"They are about to get married. Have you asked her what is going on at home? Has something happened? Will it affect you?" Li Yue'e was still a little worried. It was not easy for her son to reach this point, and the thought of the scars all over his body made her heartache.
"It's nothing major. It won't affect me. I have an uncle who is a division commander in the Gui Provincial Army." Lu Changzheng was not prepared to say more, as it would save his mother from overthinking.
Li Yue'e felt relieved when she heard that there was an official in the family supporting her, as long as it didn't affect her son.
"Then what do her parents do?"
"Her father is a university teacher and her mother works in a food factory." On the way back, Su Mo briefly told Lu Changzheng about the situation at home.
Teacher, no wonder, teachers are most likely to get into trouble these days. Maybe he was reported by his students.
Li Yue'e actually felt faintly sympathetic to her future in-laws.
