Su Mo walked around the mountain again, picked some hazelnut mushrooms, and dug up some wild vegetables.

Compared with the previous few days, there are obviously a lot more people I have met, and most of them are big aunts or young daughters-in-law. It should be that the autumn harvest of the major teams has been completed, and the adults have begun to go up the mountain to harvest the autumn.

There are many people on the mountain, and many things are inconvenient, plus there are a lot of mountain goods collected, Su Mo is not ready to wander around the mountain anymore, she still has a lot of things to do, just take advantage of this time when everyone is running to the mountain, she is busy with other things.

Around noon, Su Mo went down the mountain with a half-basket of weeds and hazelnut mushrooms.

When she got home, Su Mo took out the rice she had cooked a few days ago from the space, and estimated that there was only one meal left, Su Mo had eaten it all, and cooked a new one again tonight.

After eating, Su Mo went to the well to fetch water, washed the freshly picked hazelnut mushrooms and wild grasses, and dried them.

Just when Su Mo was busy, she suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard calling her: "Su Mo, are you at home?" ”

Su Mo took a look and saw that it was Ma Xiaojuan and Chen Lan, and secretly said in her heart that it was a coincidence, she was about to go to find Ma Xiaojuan, but someone came.

Su Mo hurriedly stood up, "Here, Xiaojuan, Chen Lan." The gate of the courtyard is not closed, so you push the door open and come in. ”

Ma Xiaojuan was very happy to see Su Mo at home, and hurriedly pushed the courtyard door in, and was a little surprised to see the lush vegetable patch.

"Su Mo, did you grow this dish? It's really good-looking. ”

"That's right." Su Mo smiled and said, "Maybe I'm suitable for growing vegetables." As he spoke, he put the cleaned hazelnut mushrooms into a bamboo sieve.

"Let's go, sit in the house." After Su Mo finished putting the hazel mushrooms, he welcomed the two into the hall.

It was the first time for the two of them to come, and after entering, Chen Lan's eyes were full of amazement and envy, while Ma Xiaojuan was much more direct.

"Su Mo, your house is okay, compared to you, the young people are too stumbling. I used to think that our brigade was a good point of knowledge. ”

Su Mo pursed her lips and smiled, and quipped: "Yes, thanks to my lover's blessing, I can live in such a good house." ”

Ma Xiaojuan smiled: "Sure enough, it's different when you get married, everyone is much more cheerful." "Su Mo didn't like to talk much before.

Su Mo led the two to sit down in the hall, took two clean cups, and poured two glasses of boiled water for the two.

"You washed that hazel mushroom just now?" Ma Xiaojuan asked.

"Yes, I picked it in the mountains this morning."

"Where did you pick it? We also went up the mountain this morning, so we picked up some pine nuts and dug up a few wild vegetables, but we didn't see anything else. ”

"It's just on the mountain, and it's picked a little bit from the inside. I've been in the mountains for days. Su Mo said.

"No wonder I haven't seen you go to work in the past few days, it turns out that you went up the mountain to harvest autumn, or you are smart." Ma Xiaojuan has also followed to rub corn these days, 6 minutes a day, and her hands are almost rubbing bald skin.

But if you don't go, you can't do it, this work is light, and there are so many people in the brigade that people want to do it, or the captain specially arranged it for them considering that their new batch of educated youths does not have many jobs.

The other young men in the brigade were all sent to Yangmai. It's not a good job, at the end of the day, my arms are sore, and my whole body is discouraged.

Educated youths Ma Jianmin and Zhao Guoping went to Yangmai, and they came back every day in a gray state.

Raising wheat, blowing away the dust and broken grass in the wheat with the power of the wind, repeating until only the wheat is left (invasion and deletion)

"And what did you pick up?" Ma Xiaojuan was a little curious.

"I picked chestnuts, walnuts and pine nuts, some hazelnuts, and some wild vegetables." Su Mo said.

"Is it much?"

"It's okay, when you go back in a while, decorate it and eat it back to the educated youth."

"No, no, no." Ma Xiaojuan waved her hand again and again, "I just asked, I didn't mean to ask." ”

"I know." Su Mo smiled, "Anyway, you don't have the things you picked up on the mountain, give you some to taste." ”

Ma Xiaojuan is embarrassed.

"By the way, Xiaojuan, you said before that you made quilts, did you do it?" Su Mo changed the subject.

Ma Xiaojuan's eyes lit up, "It's done." ”

"How many beds did you make?"

Ma Xiaojuan compared three fingers, "Three beds." ”

"Then Director Qi didn't say anything?"

"I asked, and I said that my family heard that there was this benefit, and I wanted to see if I could do it, so I did it and sent it back. Director Qi didn't say anything, wrote a list and asked me to pay the money. Ma Xiaojuan said straightforwardly.

She called back, and her brother and sister were happy to hear that she could send cotton tires back here. Finally, she didn't have to cover the cotton quilt her mother made. To make cotton for quilts, you can also take it out to make new cotton jackets.

"What? Do you also want to do it and send it back? Ma Xiaojuan asked.

"Yes, I called my relatives the other day and asked me if I could make a bed and send it back. I've been busy harvesting autumn these days, and I'm delayed, so I'm going to ask in the afternoon. ”

"Why don't you call the secretary of the commune...... By the way, you guy is not interesting enough, the secretary of the commune is your uncle, and I haven't heard of you. ”

"yes, I haven't heard you mention it." Chen Lan finally seized the opportunity to interject.

She now has a supply for Su Moke, her lover is an officer, her father-in-law is the secretary of the brigade, and the secretary of the commune is still her uncle, if she has a good relationship with her, her life in the brigade should be much better.

She regretted it very much, when Ma Xiaojuan told her to give the wedding gift together, she didn't send it together.

"I only found out on the day of the banquet, and my family never told me that he was a secretary here. When you are a leader, you have to pay attention to the influence, it's not even a cotton tire for relatives to do, I'm afraid that people will say favoritism, so I have to go. ”

"That's too, officials cherish feathers." Ma Xiaojuan said.

Her uncle was too, when the neighborhood office mobilized to go to the countryside, his uncle immediately responded positively and sent her cousin and cousin to the countryside, so angry that her aunt almost divorced her uncle.

Su Mo saw that Ma Xiaojuan hadn't said anything, so she asked, "Xiaojuan, you came here to look for me today, is there something wrong?" ”

"Hehe...... Ma Xiaojuan laughed embarrassedly, "That's the case, my family remitted money to me, I want to go to the county seat to buy a bicycle, and I want to ask you to accompany me to the county seat." ”

Because Hongqi Commune is closer to the county seat than other communes, it has not yet been allocated a shuttle bus to the county seat.

To get to the county seat, you either have to walk on your own, ride a bicycle, or take a donkey cart or ox cart. But now that the autumn harvest has just ended, the cattle and donkeys in the brigade are almost exhausted, and they have not gone to the county seat at all.

From the Lujiacun brigade to the county seat, it takes an hour to ride a bicycle, and it takes at least three hours to walk.

Ma Xiaojuan didn't want to walk, and thought that Su Mo had a bicycle, so she came over to ask.

"Yes, then I'll accompany you tomorrow." Su Mo deserves to be refreshed, just right, she also went to the county seat to buy something.

"Good sister." Ma Xiaojuan stroked her palms and smiled, "Tomorrow, my sister will invite you to eat delicious food at the state-run restaurant." ”

"Okay, then I'll save my stomach and have a good meal tomorrow." Su Mo also smiled.

A few people chatted for a while, and Ma Xiaojuan and the others were ready to go back, and in the afternoon they wanted to go up the mountain again to see if there were any other mountain goods to pick up.

Su Mo took a straw basket and loaded a small half-rebound chestnut walnut for Ma Xiaojuan to take back, not much, estimated to be about two or three catties.

After the two left, Su Mo washed the remaining wild vegetables, squinted for a while, and then pushed the bicycle out.
