Because she had a big meal at noon, Su Mo didn't cook at night, so she took two steamed buns from the space and ate them for dinner.
I also washed a bunch of grapes to use as after-dinner fruit. These fruits were scarce and difficult to transport, so I had to eat them myself.
After taking care of herself, Su Mo closed the doors and windows as usual and started her great career of knitting sweaters.
Knitting a sweater is a delicate job. According to the book, if she knitted both morning and night, it would probably take a week. If she only knitted at night, it would probably take half a month or even longer.
Su Mo planned to knit more diligently, knit the sweater as soon as possible, and send it to Lu Changzheng before it snowed.
Anyway, there are many people going up the mountain to harvest the autumn harvest during this period, and she is not planning to go up the mountain again at this time. She will wait until this period of time has passed.
Her battery still has half of its power. Based on her current usage, it is estimated that it can still last for about a month. However, the battery must be fully charged before it snows to ensure the power consumption in winter.
After weaving for about the same time, Su Mo fell asleep.
The next day, I still got up early and took care of the vegetable field for a while.
When Su Mo sown seeds before, he scattered them directly, so the vegetables grew densely in some places.
Su Mo first reduced the burden on the radish field, pulling out some radish seedlings in dense areas and leaving those with stronger energy to ensure that the remaining radish seedlings had enough space to produce large radish.
After pulling out like this, a bamboo basket full of radish seedlings came out. Tender radish sprouts are very delicious. They are perfect for boiling broth or egg soup. They are also good even for stir-frying. Naturally, they cannot be wasted.
Su Mo took part of it into the space, and divided the rest into two portions, one for herself to eat at noon, and the other to be sent to Li Yue'e at noon.
After imparting superpowers to the ginseng, Su Mo sat on the kang and knitted a sweater.
At around ten o'clock, Su Mo heard Li Yue'e calling her: "From the third family, are you at home?"
Su Mokang was sitting on the bed, so she didn't plan to go down to greet her. She put her head at the window and shouted, "Mom, I'm in the house, come in."
Li Yue'e came in carrying a bamboo basket. When she saw Su Mo knitting a sweater on the kang, she had already knitted a short section. She asked with a smile, "Is this the sweater knitted for the Long March?"
"Yeah." Su Mo nodded.
Li Yue'e wiped her hands with her clothes, stretched out her hand to touch it, and found it was very soft and comfortable. She was surprised: "You are from the third family, is this pure wool?"
Su Mo smiled and said, "Yes."
Li Yue'e smacked her tongue, pure wool is very valuable, and the third family is really willing to give it up.
He loves men!
"Mom, what do you want from me?" Su Mo asked.
Li Yue'e sat down by the kang, opened the cloth covering the bamboo basket, and took out two pieces of cloth from inside.
"The third child's family, this piece of plaid cloth is given to you by Xiaolan. You can make your own clothes to wear. You gave her a good-quality shirt. She was very happy and will always remember it." Li Yue'e said.
"When you got married, she couldn't be too different from the previous two brothers, so she didn't give it to her. No, when the beautiful cloth came, she tore it off immediately and asked me to bring it to you."
Su Mo was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Lu Xiaolan would pull cloth to make clothes for her.
"Mom, there is no need for the family to say such out-of-the-way things. During the few days when I was hospitalized, Xiaolan specifically asked for leave to take care of me. It's nothing to give me some clothes. I have a lot of clothes. I'd better give this cloth back to Xiaolan to make her own clothes."
These days, cloth tickets are very rare. To pull such a big piece of cloth, Lu Xiaolan is probably saving up the cloth tickets for a long time.
"If she gives it to you, just keep it. She works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and they have to deal with defective cloth internally from time to time. It's easier for her to get cloth than for us." Li Yue'e said, "Just don't go out and say it, lest the boss and the second child get confused. Family worries."
Li Yue'e placed the plaid cloth on the kang for Su Mo, then took another piece of black cloth and said to Su Mo, "My mother pulled this for you. You can make a pair of trousers yourself, just in time for a new outfit."
Su Mo quickly stopped knitting and waved her hands: "Mom, I have enough clothes, really. You can take them back and make them for yourself or my father."
Li Yue'e pressed down Su Mo's hand and said: "We have to keep this, it's our old man's wish. I should have pulled it for you when we got married, but that fool, the third child, didn't even pull the cloth for you to make new clothes." .”
Su Mo defended Lu Changzheng, "He gave me the cloth ticket, but I didn't make any more because I had a lot of clothes. I used the cloth ticket to make cotton clothes."
Li Yue'e smiled, "That's different. Anyway, you can safely keep this cloth, and when spring comes, you can make yourself new clothes."
Li Yue'e said this, so Su Mo accepted it, "Then thank you mother and Xiaolan."
Li Yue'e smiled and waved her hands.
"When the family was separated, the third child suffered a big loss, but there was nothing my parents could do about it. He was the most promising, so when we were still together, we had to let him out. Now that you are married, parents The task for them has been completed and we have separated. You can just live your own lives."
Su Mo expressed her understanding. In this era, it is not important to have a large family. It is normal for those who are promising to pull out the poor. Li Yue'e and his wife were already very liberal. After they got married, they divided the family and let everyone live their own lives.
If you meet your parents-in-law who still have financial power after marriage, life will be difficult.
Li Yue'e nodded happily, she was afraid that the third child's family would feel uncomfortable.
"You are a good person. Just knit a sweater. Mom is back."
Li Yue'e stood up and was about to leave. Su Mo quickly got off the kang and gave the radish seedlings to Li Yue'e. Li Yue'e took it away with a smile and went back.
In the afternoon, Su Mo packed a large bag of chestnuts and walnuts in a net bag, and also wrapped some dried hazel mushrooms. I also put most of the sacks of chestnuts and walnuts in sacks, and also wrapped a large bag of hazelnut mushrooms. I also wrote a letter, briefly describing the situation here, and stuffed it into a sack.
The one in the net bag was intended to be given to Geng Changqing, and the one in the sack was intended to be mailed to Su Tingde.
Su Mo put the things in the bamboo basket and set off on the bicycle.
I went to the commune post office first and mailed something to my uncle. Because of the distance, it cost 1 yuan for postage.
Then he carried the things in his net bag and entered the commune office building.
After telling the clerk on the first floor that she was Geng Changqing's niece and that she had something to do with him, the clerk on the first floor rang the phone, and soon a young man came down to pick her up.
"I am Fu Ming, secretary of the party committee. Secretary Geng asked me to take you up." The young man said.
Su Mo followed Fu Ming all the way to the third floor, to Geng Changqing's office.
When Su Mo entered, Geng Changqing was eating with a lunch box. The rice had already become cold and was caked together. Geng Changqing poured some hot water from a thermos bottle, mixed it and continued eating.
Seeing Su Mo looking at him in surprise, she pointed to the stool beside the table and said, "Why are you just standing there? Sit down."
"Uncle Geng, why are you eating now?" Su Mo came here specially in the afternoon because he thought he would be less busy in the afternoon.
After all, isn’t it usually busier in the morning and more relaxed in the afternoon? In the memory of the original owner, her job was like this.
Geng Changqing smiled and said, "I have been a little busy during this time to prepare for the payment of public food." In fact, there was never a day when he was not busy, and it was common for him to forget to eat.
Su Mo picked up the net bag on her hand and said, "Uncle Geng, I went up the mountain to collect some mountain goods during this period, and I will give you some to try."
"Did you go up the mountain to pick it up yourself?"
Su Mo nodded.
Geng Changqing smiled, "I never thought you would do this."
Su Mo smiled and said, "We have all gone to the countryside, so do as the Romans do."
"Okay, you picked it up with your own hands. I want to try it no matter what. Leave it there." Geng Changqing pointed to the table by the window.
Su Mo went over and put the net bag on the table, then came back and sat down.
Geng Changqing finished the meal in a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then got up and poured Su Mo a glass of water.
"Why are you free to come see me today?"
Su Mo smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this something I picked up from the mountains and dried in the sun? I'm going to bring it to Uncle Geng to try."
Then he explained: "Uncle Geng, I really didn't know you were here. I didn't tell you at home. It's harvest time when I get to the countryside. I didn't even have time to come to the commune. I don't know the leadership team here."
Geng Changqing waved his hand, "It's okay. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."
Su Mo nodded.
Geng Changqing opened the drawer, took out a stack of money bills and handed it to Su Mo, "Here, you have many places to use money."
Su Mo's eyes flashed. Hearing what he meant, it seemed that she knew about her sending things to her parents, so she asked tentatively: "Do you know?"
Geng Changqing nodded, "Xiao Mo, you did a good job. If you can't solve anything in the future, just come to me. However, you should also pay attention to your own safety."
In some matters, it is indeed more convenient for Su Mo to come forward than him.
Su Mo nodded quickly. It would be nice if he could make it clear that he was willing to help.
After all, in the original owner's memory, she hadn't seen Uncle Geng for three or four years, and she didn't know what his attitude was.
Geng Changqing pushed the money ticket forward again, "Take the money. When you were a child, you used to make trouble for me to buy you sweets, but now you are more polite?"
Su Mo chuckled and took the money.
Why! It was really hard to adapt to the days when people everywhere wanted to give her money.
