Su Mo came to the new house for the first time today.
The new house is not far from the Lu family. It only takes 5 minutes to walk, or even faster by bicycle.
Entering through the street gate surrounded by a bamboo fence, you will see a row of three large brick houses with tiles in the middle, two adobe houses on the left, and a well on the right. The yard is about three-thirds of the land and is used for growing vegetables. of.
The house is a typical three-room house in the northeastern countryside. The east and west bedrooms are bedrooms. This one is divided into two sections. The section next to the yard is the kitchen, and the latter section is the dining room and living room. There is only one door in the entire row of houses, and the doors of the two bedrooms open into the house.
General layout of the house
Lu Changzheng led Su Mo through the door and directly into the east bedroom, which was used as the wedding room.
Lu Changzheng's eyes sparkled and he said to Su Mo: "Daughter-in-law, you rest in the room first. I'll greet everyone. We'll go to my parents' place later."
Su Mo nodded.
Soon, several aunts brought Su Mo's dowry into the wedding room.
The bedding was placed on the kang, the thermos bottles were placed on the table, and Su Mo's two suitcases were erected on the ground.
The bamboo basket containing the sundries was not moved in. It was probably placed in the middle room.
The aunts didn't stay in the room too long. They put their things away, said a few auspicious words to Su Mo, and then went out.
After they went out, Su Mo had time to look at the room carefully.
Su Mo didn't expect that Lu Changzheng's new house not only had cement floors and whitewashed walls, but also had thin wooden boards hanging from the roof. For rural areas of this era, this is simply a luxurious decoration.
The bedroom is quite big, Su Mo estimates it is at least thirty square meters. The Kang bed is also very large, so it probably won’t be a problem for a family of five to sleep there.
The kang has been covered with bamboo mats, and a kang table is placed in the middle. On the kang table are a plate of peanuts and a plate of red dates. There are two kangqins on both sides, one tall and one short.
There is also a double-door wardrobe placed next to the kang, with a full-length mirror embedded in the door on one side of the wardrobe.
In addition, there is a dressing table, a desk, a sewing machine, and two armchairs.
There is a window in the north and south of the bedroom. The window is not small, and the room is bright. The windows are also equipped with screens so that you are not afraid of bugs flying in when the windows are opened.
There are two windows, the one near the yard, on the kang, is equipped with a glass window and door, and the one facing the back of the house is equipped with a wooden window and door. It not only provides privacy but also ensures lighting. The window above the kang also has curtains.
Su Mo clicked her tongue when she saw it. Lu Changzheng probably spent a lot of money on this house.
The wedding photos taken by the two were also framed by Lu Changzheng and hung on the wall of the bedroom.
After Su Mo watched for a while, he sat on the kang and listened to the noisy people outside.
This is where she will live in the future, and the conditions are much better than she imagined.
At this time, someone outside called Lu Changzheng and told him to take his new wife there quickly, saying that the leaders of the commune were arriving soon.
This time, not only the people from the brigade were invited to set up the banquet, but Lu Qingan also invited several leaders of the commune.
Lu Changzheng took Su Mo and hurried over. When people came to attend their wedding, they still had to be polite.
As soon as Su Mo entered the street gate, she saw Lu Xiaolan and several young wives setting the table and setting dishes. The vegetables that filled the yard before were gone, replaced by dining tables, some round and some square.
Lu Xiaolan saw the two of them and smiled: "Third sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today, I am afraid you are the most beautiful bride in the entire commune."
Su Mo smiled sheepishly, "Don't make fun of me."
"Oh, Chairman, I can testify that what I said is the truth." Lu Xiaolan smiled, her third sister-in-law was indeed beautiful, and she couldn't find anyone better looking than her from far away.
At this time, Li Yue'e walked out of the house and said to the two of them: "Your father has gone to pick up the commune leaders. You two will greet him at the door."
The two of them went back to the courtyard gate and stood there again. Soon, they saw Lu Qingan leading a few leaders-looking people walking towards them.
Lu Qing'an frowned slightly when he saw Su Mo wearing it.
The third daughter-in-law's dress seems a bit too high-profile today. Although she is a bride today, the dress is too capitalist.
Su Mo looked up and saw the elegant and elegant man walking in front of her. When she looked at the very young man, she was very shocked.
Why, isn't this Geng Changqing, Uncle Geng, who was raised by the original owner's grandfather?
Geng Changqing's parents were revolutionary martyrs who died in the war, leaving behind a young Geng Changqing.
Su Zhongli felt sorry for him because he had no one to take care of him, so he took him back to the Su family to raise him and devoted all his efforts in teaching and training him. The Su family that Geng Changqing arrived at when he was 4 years old can be regarded as the majority of the Su family.
Although the original owner calls her Uncle Geng, Geng Changqing is actually only 12 years older than the original owner and is only 30 this year.
Geng Changqing walked up to the two of them, shook hands with Lu Changzheng first, and congratulated him on his wedding. Then he turned to Su Mo and smiled: "Xiao Mo, I haven't seen you for a few years and you have grown so big. I don't even know how to tell my uncle when I get married."
Su Mo smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Geng, long time no see. I didn't know you were here."
"You!" Geng Changqing shook his head helplessly.
He was as willful as ever. He married someone who didn't notice him. Fortunately, the person he married was pretty good, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain it to Brother Qian.
During the years when the original owner was most naughty and willful, when Geng Changqing was in junior high school and high school, he was often troubled by the original owner. So Geng Changqing still has a headache for the original owner.
Geng Changqing took out two thick red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Su Mo: "One for me and one for your uncle. Give him a call in two days."
Su Mo reached out to take it and said with a guilty conscience: "I have written him a letter."
Then he immediately added, "I'll call him in two days."
The leaders following behind were all surprised. They didn't expect that the newly married daughter-in-law of the Lujiacun brigade secretary was actually related to Secretary Geng.
Lu Qing'an was also very shocked. Didn't this third daughter-in-law come to the countryside because of something going on at home? How come you know Secretary Geng? And the relationship looks very unusual.
"Comrade Lu Changzheng, Su Mo is a good comrade who is kind, upright, and very revolutionary. I hope you will treat her well in the future."
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission." Lu Changzheng saluted.
This Secretary Geng seems to be representing the daughter-in-law's natal family, so his attitude must be serious.
"Su Mo, Comrade Lu Changzheng is a very good soldier. He is protecting his family and country at the front. You must manage the rear for him so that he has no worries. Do you understand?"
Su Mo nodded quickly, "Understood."
