After everyone chatted enthusiastically for a while, Fu Manhua said goodbye and wanted to go back and take a rest.
Of course, the Lu family didn't respond. Lu Qing'an and his wife walked all the way to the entrance of the courtyard.
"My eldest aunt, you go back and rest, and come over for dinner at home tonight," Li Yue'e said.
"Okay, then we'll come over and make trouble in the evening." Since we are here to visit relatives and the other party invites us to dinner, we must go.
Until they left, no one from the second room showed up. On the way back, Fu Manhua asked, "Didn't you say there is a second brother? Why didn't you see him?"
"His second brother works in the commune factory and won't come back until evening. Something happened to the second sister-in-law's family, so she probably isn't at home." Su Mo didn't know if Lu Guihua was at home, but she didn't hear the sound anyway.
After going back, Su Yichen fetched water to take a bath, and Fu Manhua went to the kang to sleep for a while. She was really tired after working for so long.
Su Mo took a roast duck bought from Beijing, and then some pickled roe deer meat to send to the Lu family.
Su Mo went over and saw Lu Qingan and his wife killing chickens.
"Mom, I bought roast duck in Beijing. I also have pickled roe deer meat at home. I brought it all to add to the dish tonight."
"Okay, you put it in the kitchen. I was also thinking about asking your father to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to cut some meat. Now that I have your two pieces of meat, it will be enough for my mother to get some other meat." Li Yue'e said with a smile.
When Su Mo put away her things and was about to leave, Li Yue'e realized that something seemed to be missing but she quickly called Su Mo.
"Xiao Mo, where is the third child?"
Su Mo:......
How dare this person just realize that his son is missing now?
In fact, it's no wonder that Li Yuee'e has been in the army for seven years, and the total time she spends at home is no more than a month. She has long been used to the days when Lu Changzheng is not around.
"He has something to do with the army and is busy. It may take a few days before he comes back." Su Mo said.
"It's really not the right time to have something happen. Someone from the Yue family is here, and I don't know if I can see him." Li Yue'e muttered.
"He knows that Auntie and the others are coming, so he should find time to come back." Su Mo said, "Mom, I'll go there first."
Li Yue'e waved her hand and told Su Mo to hurry over and not to neglect her in-laws.
After Su Mo returned, she quickly took out the defective cloth she bought in Beijing, pushed the sewing machine into the living room, and started making a quilt cover.
Su Yichen came out of the bath and was a little surprised to see Su Mo carrying something in the car.
"You still do this?"
"My mother-in-law taught me that I can not only make quilt covers, but also cotton-padded jackets. What I wear is made by myself." Su Mo was a little proud.
Su Yichen gave a thumbs up and looked at Su Monong from the side.
It's very fast to put the quilt on the car. Su Mo had it ready in half an hour.
At this time, I didn’t bother to wash it first. I went directly to the West House to put the quilt on, and sewed the opening with cotton thread.
Then take out the mattress and spread it on the kang, and put the sheets on it.
After finishing it, Su Mo asked Su Yichen: "Brother, do you want to take a rest first?"
Su Yichen shook his head, his eyes a little moist.
While Su Mo was doing this, Su Yichen was watching from the side, feeling both proud and sad.
As the only girl in the three generations of the Su family, Su Mo has been pampered since she was a child. She has always kept her fingers free of beauty, but now she can do anything. I think she has suffered a lot in the past few months.
"Okay, I've laid out the bedding for you. If you feel sleepy, just get on the kang and sleep for a while." Su Mo said.
Then he pointed to the bamboo basket with firewood next to him and said, "The firewood is here. If you feel that the kang is not hot enough, just open the door of the kang and add some firewood. Before going to bed at night, you should also add two pieces of firewood, otherwise there will be a meeting in the middle of the night." cold."
After doing this, Su Mo had time to look at the letter and package that Li Yuee brought just now.
There were two letters, one of which was from Haishi newspaper. In addition to the invitation letter written by the editor, there were also two kilograms of meat coupons and one kilogram of candy coupons. Of course, there is also a remittance order for 24 yuan.
The other one was from the Heijiang Provincial Daily. It still contained a five-issue coupon, as well as a three-foot cloth ticket and a half-pound gas ticket.
So far, Su Mo has received several submission rewards, and also discovered something interesting.
It's like the local newspapers in the north like to give out candy coupons, cloth coupons and gas coupons, while the Haishi people like to give out meat coupons.
They probably gave it to her based on their own understanding and guessed what she lacked.
Su Yichen saw Su Mo smiling and asked her what was good for her. When Su Mo told her what she had discovered, Su Yichen also found it interesting.
"Local newspapers should know more about the situation in local rural areas, so they give more cloth stamps and oil stamps. There is always no shortage of cloth in Haishi, so the editor is probably afraid that you will have no meat to eat in the countryside, so he gives you all Meat tickets." Su Yichen analyzed.
Then he asked, "Are you really making money from writing now?"
Su Mo handed him the remittance notice and said, "It's true. This is the second manuscript fee. The last time was 20 yuan."
"Brother, tell me that I don't have to send money to me in the future. I have royalties now. When the gold mine is settled, Uncle Geng will arrange a job for me, and then I will have a salary."
Su Yichen nodded without saying anything clearly.
Later, Su Mo opened the package again. It was a radio. There was also a letter written by Zhou Qiuying inside, saying that there was no ticket for the radio, so he sent the one Yang Suyun used to her.
"This was sent to you by the Yang family?" Su Yichen remembered that Zhou Qiuying said that he sent a radio to Su Mo.
Su Mo nodded, "Yes, but this was originally given to Yang Suyun by me. I just want to come back."
Su Yichen sneered, "Mom and I have arranged the Yang family's affairs. They can't make any money."
Although they don't have the exact handle on the Yang family, sometimes the power of people's words is beyond imagination.
Fu Manhua slept for more than an hour and felt a little more energetic. When he heard the brother and sister talking outside, he got up and came out.
Then he took out a piece of thick clothes from the duffel bag containing clothes, and took out a stack of money bills from the hidden pocket.
"Xiao Mo, we are going back to the house, but all the old furniture has been moved away. The street office has compensated us 350 yuan. You can keep the money."
Su Mo had learned from Su Tingqian last time that the house in Haishi was allocated to their family, so she took it without any burden.
"Also, you should take these 500 yuan of overseas remittances. If those people don't fall, your parents will probably have to stay here." In this situation, it is safest for them to hide here.
"Buy them more food, and don't be afraid of spending money. If you don't have enough money, just send a telegram to your aunt, and I will send the money right away."
"I've exchanged the overseas remittance coupons for daily use. When you run out of coupons, write a letter to your aunt, and I'll exchange them for you and send them to you."
The day after the overseas remittance was paid for the furniture, the subdistrict office sent someone to return it in full, and there was no shortage of overseas remittance coupons.
Su Mo didn't refuse and took all the money and tickets. She really needs these things here more than they do.
