Su Mo had a good night's sleep and got up early the next morning to make breakfast.
She can handle it by herself, but now that her aunt and brother are here, it's not easy.
Su Mo took the pickled roe deer meat, chopped it together with onions, and prepared to bake pancakes.
When Su Mo got up, Fu Manhua also got up. Seeing how Su Mo was making dough and stuffing, it seemed that she had done a lot.
After Su Mo finished baking the cake, Fu Manhua took a piece and tasted it. It was really good.
Fu Manhua broke off a small piece and gave it to Su Yichen, who was chopping firewood in the yard. "Try it. I didn't expect this kid, Xiao Mo, to have such skills."
Su Yichen ate and nodded, "Xiao Mo has really learned a lot during this period." She must have suffered a lot.
Su Mo baked more than twenty cakes in total. After baking the cakes, she took two more eggs and made egg soup.
After finishing it, he invited the two of them to come in for breakfast. After eating, Su Yichen took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Su Mo went back to her room and took out a jar with wild ginseng from the corner of the room. She prepared this wild ginseng for her uncle's family, and she has been taking care of it with her special powers during this period.
Su Mo carefully dug out the wild ginseng. Although it didn't look as good as the one given to Lu Boxing, it was still not that small. It was estimated that it would have been around for decades.
Fu Manhua was watching Su Mo's vegetables in the living room, and was shocked when he saw Su Mo bring out a fresh wild ginseng.
"Auntie, I dug this wild ginseng from the mountain some time ago. I have been growing it in a jar and will keep it for you to take back when you come." Su Mo said.
These days, packages are often lost. She would not mail wild ginseng, something that was hard to buy even with money.
Fu Manhua took the wild ginseng and looked at it, unable to say no.
This wild ginseng has been around for at least several decades. It is a life-saving thing. Old Su is fine in the rear, but his two sons are both on the front line.
"Okay! Xiao Mo, my aunt is shameless enough to accept this thing."
Su Mo waved her hand: "Auntie, we are a family, don't say that."
Fu Manhua and Su Mo carefully cleaned the wild ginseng. Then he took a bamboo bamboo basket, put it on the kang, and dried it slowly with the temperature of the kang.
After packing up the wild ginseng, Su Mo locked the door and took the two of them for a walk around Lujia Village. I walked to the commune again, met with Geng Changqing, and had lunch in the commune cafeteria.
When returning, Su Mo went to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look.
When I saw mutton for sale, I cut off two kilograms. Mutton is cheaper than pork. Two kilograms only cost one yuan and 12 cents.
I bought another two kilograms of sausages for two and a half yuan.
After thinking about it, I spent another two yuan and bought two kilograms of bulk liquor. Bring it with you when you are going to the cowshed. The weather is cold, and your parents can drink some occasionally to warm themselves up.
She also bought two kilograms of cotton. Now there is no shortage of cloth. She plans to make another cotton suit for herself so that she can change it.
After returning, Li Yue'e came over to chat for a while.
In the evening, Su Mo made mutton soup, and the three of them went to bed early after eating.
At around eleven o'clock, the three of them got up, grabbed their things, and secretly went to the cowshed.
The snowy night was really cold, and a few people walked on the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Fu Manhua and Su Yichen looked at Su Mo, who was leading the way, with distress in their eyes.
It’s one thing to hear someone say it, but another to actually experience it.
How scared should she be, a woman, walking on the mountain in the dark with her things in the middle of the night?
"Xiao Mo, do you usually walk this way by yourself at night?" Fu Manhua asked softly.
"It's not all about taking this one. There are several roads on this mountain to get there. This one is closer." Su Mo said.
"I used to go earlier in the morning, but now it's snowing and it's easy to leave footprints if I go in the morning. Now if I go at this time, when I wake up in the morning, the footprints will be covered with snow."
The wind and snow were so strong that the three of them didn't dare to talk much and stayed almost silent all the way to the cowshed.
Su Mo knocked on the door and called out the promised bird calls a few more times. After waiting for a while, I heard someone hurried out and opened the door.
Su Tingqian opened the door and was startled when he saw three people at the door. He reflexively wanted to close the door. He stopped when he saw Su Mo clearly.
"Momo, these..."
"Uncle." Su Yichen called Su Tingqian softly in Haishi dialect.
"Yi, Yichen?" Su Tingqian couldn't see clearly, "Come in quickly, let's go back to the room and talk."
After returning to the room, under the dim kerosene lamp, Fu Manhua finally saw Su Tingqian's face clearly and burst into tears.
Her brother-in-law had always been high-spirited and suave in her impression, but the man in front of her had gray hair, a thin body, and looked a bit like a little old man.
"Aqian, you...how did you..."
Fu Manhua was so choked that she couldn't speak. Then she looked at her once gentle and beautiful sister-in-law, who was also haggard and looked even older than her sister-in-law.
Fu Manhua couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed Mo Yurong's hand tightly with one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand to prevent himself from crying.
All her previous dissatisfaction with her brother-in-law's family disappeared after seeing the tragic situation of the two of them. All that's left is heartache.
Fortunately, Lao Su didn't come, otherwise if he saw his brother like this, he would have fought those people immediately.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry." Mo Yurong also choked with sobs and comforted Fu Manhua, "It's just a skin. What does it matter? Just be fine."
Fu Manhua calmed down for a long time before the sadness in his heart subsided.
Wiping the tears on his face, Fu Manhua gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on. I believe your elder brother, he will definitely find a way to rescue you from here."
Su Tingqian waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, tell me not to act rashly. Now is the time for those people to gain power. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. It's important to protect yourself."
"We are here now. Apart from the hard work, it's actually pretty good. We have food and clothing arranged by Momo, safety and protection from Changqing, and our son... son-in-law is also doing a great job. Once we get used to it, we'll be fine." alright."
Although that kid Lu Changzheng is not upright, he is also a man of his word. I said I would arrest them, and I actually did. I also tried to rebuild the kitchen for them and got them a big iron pot, which would make cooking easier in the future.
Fu Manhua didn't answer. Before she came, she agreed with this idea, but now that she saw them like this, she felt that she had to find a way to do something.
She recalled the first time she met Su Tingqian. He had just returned from studying abroad and was in the prime of his youth. He spoke impassionedly about his ambitions in front of his brother and sister-in-law.
The young eagle that wanted to soar into the blue sky eventually broke its wings in the cage, and now has to live in the dark mud.
At this moment, the faith in her heart was almost shaken, but fortunately she quickly came to her senses.
It was never the country that caused all this, but some people who made trouble.
These aspiring forces must unite as soon as possible to bring order to the chaos, restore stability to the motherland, and restore political clarity.
