After returning home, Su Mo picked up the steamed mushroom stuffed buns and stored them in the space. She also ate two of them, so it was considered dinner.
Then he quickly washed the pot and boiled water. While it was still bright, he went to the well to get a few buckets of water and poured it into the kitchen water tank.
After the water was heated, Su Mo mixed it and took a bath. After pouring out the bath water, she washed the clothes.
Then I went back to the house and lit the kerosene lamp. First, he closed the wooden window at the back, then dug out a thick curtain that he had found somewhere before, and hung it on the window next to the bed in the bedroom.
Then I took out a rechargeable desk lamp, turned it on, and went outside to see if there was any light. After confirming that there was no light, Su Mo returned to the house, closed all the doors, took out a lamp, and turned it on. In an instant, the room became bright.
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to live in the dark.
After resting for a while, Su Mo quickly dismantled the quilt that had been sewn before, took out the quilt inside, replaced it with the quilt she had brought in the last days, and sewed it on again.
For the quilt that was replaced, a quilt cover was sewn together with coarse cloth and sewn on.
Although it looks a bit unsightly, it is not eye-catching in the bullpen, as long as it is enough to keep warm.
The mattress was also made of coarse cloth and sewn together. In this way, there are beddings for my parents' cowshed.
Then he took out a thinner quilt to replace the mattress here.
However, the quilts of later generations are still very different from those of today. Su Mo combined the printed bed sheets that she bought from the supply and marketing cooperative with some coarse cloth and sewed a cover for the mattress. That way she wouldn't have to worry that someone would notice her mattress was different.
That printed bedsheet had been washed when she was an educated youth.
After finishing it, Su Mo looked at the few coarse cloths left and smiled bitterly.
Inexperience is trouble. It seems that I have to buy another piece of coarse cloth, otherwise it will not be enough to make a person's cotton-padded jacket.
After putting the sewn quilt and coarse cloth into the space, Su Mo looked at the time and found that it was already past ten o'clock.
Then he lit the kerosene lamp, turned off the table lamp, took down the curtains, put it back into the room, and then turned on the lamp and went to sleep.
While Su Mo was sewing the quilt, the second room of the Lu family's main room was not very peaceful either.
After dinner, Liu Yuzhi cut two apples, half for each of the three children, and she and Lu Xingjun divided the remaining half.
The three children were so happy about such a delicious apple that they almost swallowed the core.
"This apple is so delicious. I don't know where Lao San's family bought it." Liu Yuzhi said.
It’s not like they have never eaten apples from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the taste is completely incomparable. I used to think that the apples sold by the supply and marketing cooperative were very delicious, but after eating this, the apples sold by the supply and marketing cooperative were just like that.
"Where else can I buy it? Either the commune supply and marketing cooperative or the county supply and marketing cooperative." Lu Xingjun replied.
"When have you ever seen a supply and marketing cooperative selling such good things?" Liu Yuzhi didn't believe it.
"Occasionally, Xiaolan has gotten back a lot of good things before."
"That's different. I think Lao San's probably bought it from that market." Liu Yuzhi said in a low voice.
Lu Xingjun immediately sat up straight and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can a woman from the third family have such courage?"
Liu Yuzhi curled his lips and said, "Just look at it. Although the third family member looks delicate and frail, they are definitely not ordinary people."
Lu Xingjun smiled, "How can you tell that she is not an ordinary person?"
"If she is an ordinary person, and the third child has such high standards, how can he rush to marry her home after only knowing her for a few days?"
"That's true." Lu Xingjun nodded, and then added, "The third child is good to our family, so don't give fault to the third child's family."
Lu Xingjun got a watch today, and he was very happy.
"Nonsense, there's no need for you to say it. You think I'm the idiot from Lao Er's family."
Different from the calmness in the first room, the second room seemed a bit gunpowder.
Originally, two apples, half for each person in a family of four, was quite good, but Lu Guihua wanted to keep one for her parents' family.
The two boys were able to eat half each, but suddenly it became a quarter, so they naturally stopped eating.
After all the fuss, in the end the two boys were still half of each other. The remaining one was divided into two halves, with Lu Weiguo and Lu Guihua sharing half, and Lu Guihua took the remaining half back to her natal family.
Lu Weiguo looked at his mother-in-law who wanted to take half of the apples back to her parents' home, and suddenly felt regret in his heart.
Was he really wrong when he ignored his parents' dissuasion and decided to marry Lu Guihua, life or death?
It seemed that what her mother said was right. If she hadn't been there to suppress her, Lu Guihua would have moved their family to her parents' house. Now that the family is divided, no one is in charge, and even half an apple has to be taken back to her parents' family.
Lu Weiguo suddenly felt powerless.
But he already had two children, what else could he do? I can only pay more attention to myself in the future.
*******
The next day, Su Mo woke up before six o'clock.
After folding the bedding, Su Mo quickly took out the floral cotton cloth, measured 4 feet, cut it out, and put it together with the khaki cloth and 2 pounds of cotton. At that time, Li Yue'e came over and just used it.
After doing this, I went out to wash up and go to the toilet. After cleaning myself, I took two buns from the space and ate them for breakfast.
After eating, I started pouring vegetable seeds from the space and prepared to plant them in the yard.
Radishes and cabbage must be planted. Then Su Mo found the seeds of spinach, lettuce, cabbage and leeks and prepared to plant them together. These types of green vegetables are relatively tolerant to low temperatures, and lettuce is fast and can be harvested before it snows.
The land in the yard was divided into 8 pieces in an orderly manner by Lu Changzheng. Su Mo chose 4 larger pieces and sprinkled them with cabbage and radish seeds respectively. Her method of planting is a rough ore method. When the seedlings grow, she can just pull out the excess ones.
Sprinkle the other four pieces with spinach, lettuce, leek and cabbage seeds respectively.
When Li Yue'e came over, she saw Su Mo watering the ground, and there seemed to be some plant ash sprinkled on the ground.
"Young man, what are you doing?"
"Mom, I'm watering, and I just sprinkled the vegetable seeds."
"Oh, what kind of vegetables do you grow?"
"I planted some radish, cabbage, cabbage, spinach and lettuce."
Li Yue'e looked at the square pieces of land and felt something was wrong, "How did you plant it?"
"Just scatter the seeds on the ground and sprinkle some plant ash on them." Su Mo said.
Li Yue'e was shocked, "Do you grow radish and cabbage like this too?"
Su Mo nodded.
"Oh, you can't plant it like this. You have to dig holes for radish and cabbage, put a few seeds in each hole, sprinkle a handful of plant ash, and cover it with soil. That's it. If you scatter it like this, it may not grow. Even if it grows, Yes, it’s too dense.”
"It's okay, Mom, it can grow. If it's too dense, I'll just pull out the excess when the time comes." Other people's may not be able to grow, but hers must be able to.
Li Yue'e saw that what she said seemed reasonable, so she said nothing more.
If she has no food to eat at that time, I will give her some.
