After Su Tingde hung up the phone, he thought for a while and called the Lujiacun brigade to see if Su Mo was there.
The call happened to be answered by Lu Qing'an. Knowing that Su Mo was in the brigade today, after a few words, he asked Su Tingde to call back in 20 minutes, and then quickly announced that Su Mo would come to the brigade to answer the phone.
When Su Mo answered the phone, she realized that today was Geng Changqing's birthday. When Su Tingde asked her to see if she had a suitable partner and introduce him to Geng Changqing, Su Mo felt relieved.
She really doesn’t have many resources around her!
She was not familiar with the other people among the educated youth, so she didn't know their character. The only one she was familiar with was Ma Xiaojuan, but Ma Xiaojuan was the same age as her, and there was a big age difference between her and Geng Changqing.
At this time, it is no different than in later generations. A difference of more than ten years is nothing. At this time, if there is a difference of more than five years, many people will think that the age difference is quite big.
Not to mention the commune, among those people, there was only one Song Guanghui who was unmarried. This man Geng Changqing was probably more familiar with her than her. If he could get along with her, he would have gotten along long ago.
Just when Su Mo was thinking about what to say, Fu Manhua's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Mo, don't worry about this. How can a junior introduce a partner to an elder? Your uncle is really ill and has to seek medical attention." .”
Fu Manhua rolled his eyes at Su Tingde as he spoke, and did not look at where the person was to see if there were any good resources around Xiao Mo.
Don't introduce someone like the one in Haishi when the time comes. He won't let go of people and disturbs them.
Then, Fu Manhua changed the topic and asked: "Xiao Mo, twins are usually born early. You should pay attention to them by the middle of next month at the latest."
Su Mo's due date is early August, but twins are rarely born at full term, and many are born half a month or a month early.
"Your second brother will go there at the beginning of next month. He will be there then. Don't be afraid."
"Auntie, it's been too long on the road, so I asked my second brother not to come." It took 20 days to go back and forth, which was too much trouble.
"It's okay. He was lucky and bought a ticket." Fu Manhua said.
It only takes a few hours to fly from Yangcheng to Beijing. If you take a train from Beijing, you can save at least half the time on the road.
If the price is expensive, just be more expensive. He can still afford it.
The air ticket from Beijing to Guangzhou in 1978 cost 81 yuan
How can no one from the mother's family be around when the baby is born?
She has been seen a lot in the hospital, and she usually looks very affectionate, but at critical moments she chooses to keep her child small.
This little Mo has a small frame, and her first baby will be twins, which will probably be difficult to give birth to, so it is better to have someone of her own present. Originally, she wanted to go by herself, but she couldn't get leave.
Although the second child seems unreliable at ordinary times, he is still capable at critical moments.
Fu Manhua told Su Mo a few more words and hung up the phone.
Then he said to Su Tingde: "Don't bother introducing him to Changqing. I talked to him when I went there last time. He should have someone in mind."
As the eldest sister-in-law, she was naturally concerned about Geng Changqing's marriage, but after talking to him last time, she felt that there was no need to force him.
A person who pretends to be someone else will probably not be happy even if he reluctantly marries someone else in the end. It is better to let him be free.
Su Tingde was shocked, "Who is it?"
Chang Qing was elegant, handsome, and very capable. When he was in school, there were many female classmates who admired him.
"How do I know? It's probably his classmate." In fact, she had a guess in her mind, but she couldn't say clearly.
Su Tingde slapped his thigh, "Why don't you pursue him? Gay men should take the initiative."
As for classmates, they must have children at this age, which is a pity.

After Su Mo hung up the phone, she thought for a while and called the army to ask Lu Changzheng to come back tonight. I called Geng Changqing again and asked him to come over for dinner tonight.
She thought to herself that Uncle Geng had worked so hard for her family, so why should she celebrate her birthday today?
After paying the phone bill, Su Mo hurried home to work.
Local calls are still very cheap, four cents a time.
Su Mo originally wanted to make a cake, but it seems that people at this time usually eat longevity noodles on their birthdays, so she thought it would be better to wait for someone to arrive before making a bowl of noodles.
He took out another large piece of wild boar, chopped it into pieces, and made a large pot of mushroom meat sauce, which he filled with four cans of canned yellow peaches. Just give this as a birthday gift to Uncle Geng.
She had discovered before that Geng Changqing seemed to like eating chestnuts, so she took out a lot of chestnuts from the space, cooked them, crushed them, added milk powder and sugar, added some water, and mashed them together into a paste.
Then put it in the pot, add some oil, stir-fry over low heat until it does not stick to the spatula and can be kneaded into a ball.
Then divide it into small balls, use a mooncake mold to press out the flower shape, and the beautiful and delicious chestnut cake is ready.
After the chestnut cakes had cooled down, Su Mo took another box and packed it in. Good things come in pairs, and they were also given to Uncle Geng as a birthday gift.
As for the meat, Su Mo braised a lot of it yesterday and will just cut it into a plate tonight. Then I went to the brigade to buy an old hen that no longer laid eggs very much, and killed it to make stewed mushroom vermicelli.
In the evening, Lu Changzheng came back and felt a little bit disgusted when he saw that Su Mo had prepared so many things.
"Daughter-in-law, please make this chestnut cake for my birthday." This chestnut cake is so beautiful and delicious, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into it.
"Okay, when is your birthday?" Su Mo asked. There were no ID cards in this era, so she really didn't know when Lu Changzheng was born.
"October 1st." Lu Changzheng said.
Su Mo glanced at Lu Changzheng with a half-smile.
Isn't this the day they served the wine? No wonder Lu Changzheng wanted to serve the wine that day and said it was a happy National Day. It turned out to be his own little idea.
"Okay, I will not only make you chestnut cake, but also make you cake."
Lu Changzheng felt at ease, as long as he was more important in his wife's heart.
After a while, Geng Changqing came, and Su Mo quickly ate a whole length of longevity noodles that she had kneaded, and fried two golden poached eggs on both sides.
After eating a whole bowl of longevity noodles, Geng Changqing's heart feels warm.
It was a birthday, so it was naturally crowded with people, so I invited the three elders of the Lu family to come over and eat together.
Geng Changqing was happy and drank a lot. Since coming here, he has lived alone. At most, Fu Ming would accompany him for a meal occasionally.
This year is different, with loved ones around.
That night, Geng Changqing also slept here. Early the next morning, after breakfast, I happily went to work with mushroom pâté and chestnut cake.
