The days went by like this, and in a blink of an eye it was Saturday again.
Lu Changzheng had never returned home since the large troops arrived three days ago. Li Yue'e drove a donkey cart to take Su Mo to and from get off work.
Today's Hongqi Commune is extremely lively. The flow of people suddenly increases. From time to time, military vehicles pulling things pass by, and people wearing green military uniforms can be seen everywhere.
In addition, there are many reporters from out of town, as well as some salesmen from local companies with a keen sense of smell.
Hongqi Commune has a guest house with five or six rooms, which is usually used to receive staff from various units and outside workers who come to the commune for business.
This time it was also loaned out to accommodate those important engineers.
Even the supply and marketing cooperative transferred a large amount of goods to ensure supply, and Lu Xiaolan became busy again.
It's the canteen. Because there are more people, the dishes are gradually becoming richer. Su Mo has a big appetite, and with good food, she basically has to eat about forty cents for every lunch.
I bought tickets for 4.5 yuan last time, but there are not many left.
After the meal, Su Mo went to buy another ten-yuan item, which was all vegetable coupons. I bought ten kilograms of meal tickets last time, which is enough for a month.
She estimated that she would spend 10 yuan just for lunch every month. Three meals a day, lunch alone consumes one-third of the salary.
It's a good thing that she doesn't have to raise children for the time being, otherwise she would probably starve to death if she relied on Su Mo's salary.
Just give money when buying food stamps, but when buying meal stamps, the food allowance must be deducted. She has 27 kilograms of food every month, and she spends 10 kilograms on meal tickets, leaving only 17 kilograms left.
17 kilograms of grain, including breakfast and dinner, and four days of rest. Calculated, each meal is more than two taels, which is enough for one person.
But she has special powers, and the brigade had divided food before, so even if she still had to look after the bullpen, she wasn't worried.
It is said that if you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to be ninety-nine.
After dinner, Su Mo strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative, and happened to see Lu Xiaolan arranging woolen yarn. Some of them were red, and the color was pretty and pretty.
She was thinking about what to buy Li Yuee. She might as well buy wool and knit her a sweater.
She had written her work plan to Li Hongjun two days ago, and he also agreed. But it's winter now, and many of her plans can't be implemented yet, so right now, she's quite free.
She saw Lu Shuzhen knitting sweaters in the office two days ago. Well, although it is not a good habit to follow the trend, it is okay to knit secretly when you are free.
"Xiaolan, how much does this wool cost?" Su Mo asked, pointing to the red one.
"This is a medium-thick blended thread. It costs thirteen yuan and ninety-four cents per pound."
Su Mo nodded. It was much cheaper than the one she bought for Lu Changzheng to knit, and it felt like there wasn't much difference.
"Then give me two kilograms of red ones." Su Mo said.
"Sister-in-law, you want to knit a sweater? If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and see if there are any defective threads. Although the color is not that good, the price is half the price." Lu Xiaolan said.
Every year before the Chinese New Year, their supply and marketing cooperative would bring some defective products, which would be given to them internally as a New Year benefit.
"No, I think this color is good. I bought it to knit for my mother. This red color is festive for the New Year." Su Mo said with a smile.
This year the Chinese New Year falls on February 15th, and there is still more than a month left, so I have knitted it just in time to wear it during the Chinese New Year.
But if there are any defective lines, buy some and knit them for your parents to wear without them being noticeable.
"If there is any flaw in the thread, please leave some for me and I will knit it for your third brother to wear."
Lu Xiaolan snickered, it seems that the third brother's status in the third sister-in-law's heart is not as good as that of the mother. For such a big leader, he can only wear defective lines.
Lu Xiaolan weighed the wool to Su Mo, and Su Mo took the opportunity to buy two enamel jars, saying they were for the office.
After giving the money ticket to Lu Xiaolan, Su Mo returned with her things, spending a total of 29.84 yuan and six industrial coupons.
As soon as I arrived at the office building, I noticed a car parked at the door. A man in a gray cotton-padded jacket was getting out of the back seat. After he stood still, he saw Su Mo and smiled kindly.
The man was quite tall, probably 1.8 meters tall, and he looked quite upright and handsome.
Su Mo thought it was another engineer sent to mine gold, so she smiled kindly, nodded, and entered the office building.
When she arrived at the office, Su Mo left one enamel jar in the office and the other to collect space.
She often has to take things to the cowshed and prepare more of these things that can be loaded. Although I can get these empty ones back next time I go there, there will be a time lag in between.
Su Mo lit the coal and was about to take a nap in the office when Fu Ming came to notify him of a meeting in the conference room, saying that the new president had arrived.
Su Mo hurried down. The person chatting with Li Hongjun in the conference room was the man he met at the door just now.
Su Mo:......
Doesn't it say in the book that Gong Ye has outstanding appearance and is very handsome, and he can often charm a group of people?
In her opinion, it was far worse than her family, Lu Changzheng.
Could it be that this is really not the male protagonist, but a person with the same name?
The meeting didn't have much substance. It was mainly about recognizing each other's faces, and then Gong Ye said something about making progress together and contributing to socialism. It was over in half an hour.
Of course, when Su Mo was about to leave, she was stopped.
"Comrade Su Mo, please wait a moment." Gong Ye said quickly.
After everyone left, Gong Ye finally spoke: "Comrade Su Mo, are you also from Haishi? You look a lot like an old friend of mine."
Su Mo:......
Comrade, this method of striking up a conversation has been ridiculed to death in later generations.
Su Mo twitched her lips and said, "Yes. What are President Gong's orders?"
"Is your grandfather Su Zhongli?" Gong Ye asked again.
Su Mo became wary, but there was nothing unacceptable, so she said, "Yes."
Gong Ye said happily, "Su Mo, don't you recognize me? I'm Gong Tianhua, brother Tianhua."
Su Mo stared at Gong Ye for a few times, and dug out from the memory of the original owner that there was indeed such a person who had been with him when he was a child.
Gong Tianhua is the grandson of a friend of Su Zhongli. After Su Zhongli passed away, the two families gradually lost contact. It was at least five or six years since they last saw each other.
It turns out that Tianhua turned into Huohua.
Su Mo smirked, "So it's you, I didn't even recognize him." In memory, the man was quite fat and short.
Gong Ye smiled, "Haha, compared with when I was a child, I have changed a lot. But you, who grew up almost the same, I recognized you at a glance."
"Grandpa wanted to help with your family's matter before, but he didn't have time." Gong Ye lowered his voice.
Su Mo was noncommittal, who wouldn't say nice things afterwards.
This Gong Ye is Yang Suyun's husband. From the Su family's standpoint, the Gong family cannot be labeled as friends. It is very possible that he is an accomplice.
Su Mo's mind is a little confused now.
This Gong Tianhua knows Su Tingqian and the others, and is now the president here. If he goes to the cowshed one day, wouldn't he be able to recognize his parents?
"I heard that you went to the countryside to become an educated youth. I didn't expect that we would meet here due to such a fate. Now, we have become colleagues."
"Don't worry, Brother Tianhua will protect you from now on."
Gong Tianhua is 4 years older than Su Mo. He became the president at this age. In the eyes of outsiders, he is definitely a young talent.
However, it is unknown how much of this is due to his own ability.
