After lunch, Su Mo strolled to the commune post office, thinking about ordering a one-year subscription to "Science Bulletin," but was told that the publication was discontinued.
Su Mo:......
Not knowing history really kills people.
Yes, the plan was disrupted again.
But she clearly saw in the history books that a big boss published a paper in this journal in 1973.
Su Mo estimated that the publication should be resumed soon.
Then she would use this time to research and collect more materials. If it is effective, you can publish it in a local newspaper first to gain some fame.
They had already arrived at the post office, and Su Mo thought about calling her uncle. It was during lunch break and he might be at home.
When the call was connected, it was Su Tingde who answered the call. Su Mo greeted him first, and then told Su Tingde that he had started working today. He also told him that Lu Changzheng had been promoted to team leader and was transferred back. By the way, he also mentioned that he was pregnant.
Su Tingde was so happy that their old Su family was going to have another generation.
"Momo, what do you want to eat? Tell your uncle, he will get it and mail it to you."
Su Mo smiled and said, "Uncle, no need, I have no shortage of food here."
"Then uncle will send you money to buy food."
Su Mo quickly refused, "Uncle, you really don't need it. I have a salary now, as well as royalties, and the Long March salary has also increased. We are considered a high-salary class here. Uncle, if you want to send me more money, it will be too conspicuous."
Su Tingde choked, what Momo said made sense.
"Then if you want anything, you must tell your uncle."
"Okay." Su Mo responded, and then asked, "Uncle, was the mushroom meat sauce last time delicious?"
"It's very delicious." Su Tingde laughed and praised it very much.
He was so happy that his niece respected him, and he really ate two more bowls of rice at every meal.
Su Mo heard that Su Tingde was so happy, so she thought about making a few more cans for him and mailing them to him.
The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, and Su Tingde vaguely hinted that the matter in Haishi had been settled, so Su Mo didn't need to worry.
The call was expensive, so after the matter was finished, the two hung up the phone. Just this, we talked for five minutes and spent 5.5 yuan.
When Fu Manhua and the others came before, Su Mo had discussed with them whether the hidden things would be found by the other party?
The two reassured Su Mo at that time, saying that even those of them who knew the hiding place had not found the entrance. Unless those people blatantly dig deep into the ground, the chance of finding them is extremely low.
After they return, they will also find someone to watch the three houses secretly.
At that time, Su Mo was thinking about whether to risk a trip back to Haishi and put her things into the space. After listening to what the two people said, they stopped thinking.
She couldn't find anyone, which meant that she was well hidden. She had better not go back. It would be bad if she was spotted and led to someone else's way.
After all, she doesn't have much space. If there are a lot of things and she can't collect them all, leaving traces for others to use as wedding dresses, it will really be a waste.
This is what Su Tingde said just now. Someone has already arranged to watch the house, so she doesn't have to worry.
Su Mo paid the phone bill and was about to leave when the postman stopped him and said he had a letter and remittance order from her.
Su Mo took a look and saw that what Haishi Newspaper had sent was the manuscript fee for December, which was less than before, only 18 yuan.
Su Mo turned around and took out the remittance, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some coal.
Shuangshan City is known as the Northern Coal City, and there is no shortage of coal here.
Su Mo previously thought that the 20 kilograms of coal given out every month was for taking home and burning, but now she realized that it was for heating in the office.
She stayed in the office in the morning. It was okay at first, but the more she sat there, the colder she got, almost like an ice cellar.
She said, why is there an iron basin in the office? It turned out to be used for burning coal.
Su Mo gave Lu Xiaolan the 20-pound coal purchase license issued in the morning and stamped with the commune seal. Lu Xiaolan specially picked out large pieces for Su Mo that could withstand burning, and also brought a lot of fine firewood for Su Mo to draw coal.
Thanks to the glory of Coal City, coal here is not expensive, 20 kilograms cost thirty-four cents.
After carrying the coal, Su Mo went back. Light some coal and put it next to your desk, so it won't be so cold.
In the afternoon, I wrote hard again.
It gets dark early in the winter, and I get off work at 5:30 in the afternoon. When the time came, Su Mo collected her things and was ready to go back.
Before leaving, Su Mo noticed the coal next to her and frowned.
It’s only been one afternoon, so I’ve probably burned more than a kilogram. These 20 kilograms probably won’t last long. It seems that in the future, we need to save some money or bring some firewood.
Su Mo was still thinking about walking back. As soon as she left the door of the office building, she saw Li Yue'e driving a donkey cart waiting outside.
Seeing Su Mo come out, Li Yue'e quickly waved her hand and said: "Xiao Mo, come here quickly, mother will pick you up from get off work."
Su Mo was really shocked and touched, "Mom, did you come to pick me up from get off work?" Although it didn't snow today, the cold wind was blowing and it was very cold.
"Yes, come up quickly. The donkey cart is running smoothly. The third child has gone into the mountains and can't come to pick you up." Li Yue'e smiled, and after Su Mo got on the cart, she drove the donkey cart away slowly.
Yang Jingming, who came out a step later, was secretly frightened when he saw it. After picking up Lu Xiaolan at the supply and marketing cooperative, he told her about the matter.
"It seems that my mother likes my third sister-in-law very much. She even drove a donkey cart to pick her up from get off work." Yang Jingming said.
"Third sister-in-law is pregnant. Mom is afraid that the road will be unsafe if she rides back." Lu Xiaolan said, her tone a little low.
Li Yue'e came early today. Before that, she had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to talk to Lu Xiaolan about the matter. Lu Xiaolan was naturally very happy for her brother and sister-in-law, but when she thought about herself, she felt a little disappointed.
Yang Jingming choked, then comforted him: "Xiaolan, don't worry. The doctor has said that there is no problem for both of us. We are still young, and it will be a matter of time before we have children."
Yang Jingming is also under some pressure. He is the only son in his family, and the burden of carrying on the family line is heavy on him. It would be great if there were more brothers like Xiaolan's, so my parents wouldn't keep urging me.
"Go back and tell your mother to stop cooking those things for me," Lu Xiaolan said.
She didn't want to cause a conflict with her mother-in-law, so she thought she would just dump it secretly by herself, as her third sister-in-law said.
Everything was fine at first, but one time when she was pouring it, she was discovered by her eldest sister who came back unexpectedly. From then on, her mother-in-law had to watch her drink whenever she cooked.
"Okay, I'll go tell mother and ask her to stop cooking for you. If she wants to cook for you again, I'll just drink it." Yang Jingming said.
He also felt sorry for his wife and had told her several times, but his mother just wouldn't listen. It seemed like he had to be tougher.
Lu Xiaolan felt comforted that her husband was willing to stand up for her.
Forget it, your mother-in-law is not your mother, why do you still want to think about how good she is to you? As long as the husband knows how to sympathize with himself, he will make do with it.
On the way back, Li Yue'e said to Su Mo: "Xiao Mo, from now on when you go to and from get off work, my mother will drive a donkey cart to see you off."
Su Mo waved her hands repeatedly, "Mom, no need, I'll just ride there. It only takes half an hour."
"The roads are slippery in the snow and it's not safe to ride a bike. You're pregnant. Your father and I have discussed it and it's settled." Li Yue'e made the final decision.
"Mom, it's okay, I..." It's so cold, how dare you let the old man come and go in the wind and snow.
"Xiao Mo, if you go by bike, Mom will be worried at home. Anyway, Mom has nothing to do in the winter." Li Yue'e waved her hand.
Su Mo tried to persuade her a few more times, but Li Yue'e was still unmoved, so Su Mo thought of letting Lu Changzheng speak.
She really didn't see anything wrong with riding a bicycle back and forth.
