The next day, Su Mo went to work as usual.
She made an agreement with Lu Changzheng yesterday that she would work another day today, and for the next two days, she would make quilt covers at the educated youth center.
Because Lu Changzheng had to go to the city today and there was no one to help pick peanuts, so Su Mo only received 5 points of land.
After the land was allocated to everyone, Lu Guoping walked to Su Mo and whispered: "Sister-in-law, after you finish pulling the peanuts, just tie them up and put them in the field. I will pick them."
"Don't bother, I can just pick it myself." Su Mo waved her hand.
"Sister-in-law, don't be polite. Brother Changzheng has already told you that if I don't pick a fight, he will beat me up." Lu Guoping said naively.
"That's it, then I'll trouble you. Then you help me pick it out, and I'll help you pull it out. I'll try not to delay your work."
"No, no, no." Lu Guoping raised his hands and said, "Brother Changzheng has been protecting me since I was a child. It's right for me to help my sister-in-law pick out a few bundles of peanuts."
Just kidding, how dare he ask his sister-in-law to help him with the work, otherwise he won't be beaten to death by Brother Changzheng.
Su Mo smiled and said nothing more. She would just pull it out when the time came.
Su Mo's pulling speed was still about the same as before. Around 10 o'clock, Su Mo stopped pulling out her own five-cent piece of land, and instead went to pull out the land assigned to Lu Guoping.
Although Lu Guoping desperately refused and asked her to rest, Su Mo still insisted on pulling out her own.
She never liked owing favors to others. If she could pay them back on the spot, why put it off until later.
When absorbing energy today, Su Mo clearly felt that the speed of absorption was a little faster than yesterday. It seemed that her powers had been upgraded a bit.
good! Make a little progress every day, and upgrade your abilities is no longer a dream.
However, the land that Lu Guoping was pulling out was so hard that Su Mo's hand hurt when he pulled it out.
No wonder the members at this time did not dare to offend the production team leader for fear of being judged. In fact, the quality of the land is different, which has a great impact on labor efficiency.
It can also be seen from this that Lu Guoping is indeed an honest and positive progressive young man. This can be seen from the fact that he gave the good land to others and uprooted the worst land himself.
Lu Guoping came back after picking again. Seeing that Su Mo was still pulling out, he hurriedly came over and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not easy for me to pull out. You go and have a rest."
"You can pull it out, so I can pull it out naturally. Although my pulling speed is not as fast as yours, I can still help you share some of the pain."
Lu Guoping was suddenly moved. His brother Changzheng was so awesome. He found a wife who was not only high-minded but also kind-hearted.
afternoon.
After Su Mo finished pulling out her own, she was about to go to Lu Guoping's field to pull it out when she saw a young man running towards her from a distance, calling her as he ran: "Su Zhiqing, someone from the brigade is looking for you. The brigade leader asked you to Go back."
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
Su Mo walked over with a smile, took out two fruit candies from his pocket, actually from the space, and handed them to the child.
The child was so happy when he received the candy that he ran away laughing.
Su Mo:......
Just as she was about to ask if she knew who was looking for her, the child disappeared.
So sloppy! I should have gotten the candy later.
When Su Mo arrived at the brigade headquarters, she found a somewhat familiar figure in the chatting circle of the aunties. Taking a closer look, wasn't it the production director of the workshop?
Seeing Su Mo come back, the production director smiled and walked over: "Su Zhiqing, your bedding is ready. I happened to be in your brigade on business, so I brought it over for you."
"Come, I'll take you to the educated youth center." After Director Qi finished speaking, he walked towards the bicycle parked at the entrance of the brigade department.
There are two large bamboo baskets tied to the back seat of the bicycle. There are two thick quilts in the bamboo baskets, with a large section sticking out of the head.
Su Mo:......
Thank you so much! I'm afraid that the whole brigade will soon know that she made two quilts.
"Hey, Director Qi, your workshop service is good enough. The director personally delivers it to your door." An aunt teased.
"That's natural. To serve the people, we must provide good services to the people." Director Qi smiled.
He sent it in person for a purpose.
He took the quilt for a walk around and let others check the quality. Some families with a better income might go to their workshops to make quilts.
There are many wives to take advantage of after the autumn harvest, but you can't do some work for the cotton shop.
"Hey, Su Zhiqing, you lead the way." Director Qi pushed the bicycle and said to Su Mo.
"Okay, thank you, Director Qi." Su Mo smiled awkwardly but politely.
After Su Mo and Director Qi left, the peanut-picking aunts started chatting again.
"This Su Zhiqing is quite generous. He made two large quilts at once."
"You're so generous. If I get a gift of 400 yuan, I'll make three beds for you." An aunt said with disdain.
"Not only that, I heard from Zhao Jiuxiang, but also bought a Shanghai brand watch, which costs more than 120 yuan." The speed of gossip in the village is comparable to that of the Internet in later generations.
All the aunts gasped.
"The Party Secretary's family is rich enough. It costs more than RMB 500 to marry a wife." Some people are envious.
"I heard that wrong. It was Su Zhiqing who bought Lu Laosan a Shanghai brand watch, not the party secretary who bought it for Su Zhiqing."
"You don't speak clearly."
"Then Su Zhiqing's dowry is quite decent."
"Hey, Cuihua, what dowry did your old daughter-in-law bring at that time?" The aunt who had something up her sleeve started to stir up trouble.
When Li Cuihua married her old daughter-in-law, she gave her a bride price of 200 yuan, and the family also bought a bicycle. When her old daughter-in-law came in, she brought a new quilt and her own clothes.
But so what, her old daughter-in-law earns a monthly salary of 28 yuan.
"My old daughter-in-law didn't bring anything, she just brought money notes. She said she would live her life carefully and buy more if she needs it in the future."
This is an insinuation that Su Mo doesn't know how to live a happy life and is just a couple. What's the point of making two quilts? Too much money to burn?
The aunt curled her lips, "Then you didn't buy your old son a watch or something?"
"My son already has a watch, so it's a waste of money. More than 100 yuan can buy as much food as we can't live in such a wasteful way." Li Cuihua said sternly.
All the aunts laughed, no one knew who.
"I heard that the certificate was received yesterday. I wonder when the party secretary's family will invite us to dinner?"
"I heard from Zhao Jiuxiang that it's October 1st."
"Hey, it's only been two days, why haven't you received any news from the party secretary? Are you not planning to set up a banquet?"
"I know how to display it. I heard that there will be a big display. The whole brigade is invited. Didn't you notice that Li Yue'e took leave today and didn't go to work? She probably went to buy things."
"Invite the entire brigade? That would cost upwards of 20 tables at least. It would cost a lot. The party secretary's family is really rich..."
"I heard that the family only provides food and vegetables, and Lu Changzheng provides the rest himself."
"With more than 20 tables, we need to eat a lot of food. I'm afraid the whole family will have to make enough food for one or two months."
"How can you go empty-handed when you want to eat at a banquet? Minus the gift money, you can't afford much."
"Lu Changzheng has been a soldier for so long. I'm afraid he has saved a lot of allowances. The banquet should not be much worse. There must be two meat dishes..." An aunt started to drool as she said it. It has been a long time. No more meat.
"Then it must be there, right? He is still an officer after all. I remember Cuihua's old son married a wife with three meat dishes. Cuihua, right?"
The banquet for Li Cuihua's son to marry his wife did have three meat dishes, an old hen stewed with mushroom vermicelli, a sauerkraut stewed pork belly, and a radish braised fish. Although they were all less meat and more vegetables, they were still very decent.
But at that time, she only set up ten tables, and she only invited people who were relatively close to her.
Li Cuihua nodded, "There are three meat dishes, old hen stewed with mushroom vermicelli, sauerkraut stewed pork belly, radish braised fish, and Erhe noodle steamed buns for the staple food."
It's the decent thing to do, and there's nothing wrong with admitting it.
The aunts started to care about each other in their hearts. With Li Yue'e and Li Cuihua's habit of falling in love with each other, the banquet would probably not be worse than Li Cuihua's.
I'm looking forward to it in my heart. I don't know if the whole team is really invited. I don't know for sure now.
