Chapter 45 : Domineering Uncle Su

Sister Liu’s reaction confirmed Su Mo’s guess, but she didn’t expect it to be so easy.

Sister Liu is so good at doing business and is so enthusiastic toward every customer. Su Mo always felt that she shouldn’t be such a law-abiding person, so she tested her.

The quality of the fruits she produces may not even be comparable to that of special products. If Sister Liu really had that in mind, there was no need to worry that she would not take action.

But she didn’t expect Sister Liu to be so bold. It seemed like she had been doing this for a long time, and there must be someone behind her.

“Some people may not be willing to eat this. But, is it okay to send it to you?” Su Mo said hesitantly.

“No problem.”

“When you go back, tell them that your relatives like these apples very much, but you don’t have many at home, so you want to exchange some with them to give as gifts. My relatives from the countryside often send me things, and from now on, you’ll be my sister, so what’s the problem with you sending me some vegetables, fruits, etc.?” Sister Liu suggested with a smile.

“You want vegetables too?” Su Mo pretended to be surprised.

“Yes, of course. Don’t people in the city eat vegetables? But they have to be fresh and good-looking.”

Although Qingxi County is not like big cities where you need a vegetable book or non-staple food coupons to buy vegetables, the vegetables sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives every day are of limited variety and not particularly fresh, with some leafy vegetables even wilted.

If there’s something fresh, everyone will naturally like to eat it.

“Then Miss Su, when will you bring apples to big sister again?” Based on the basket just now, it’s estimated that it will have to be distributed tonight.

“I don’t know about that either. I have to go back and ask. I guess there aren’t many.”

There are probably about 600 kilograms of apples in her space. She can only sell 400 kilograms at most and keep the rest for herself.

For apples, which take 2 to 3 years to bloom and bear fruit after being planted, her wood-related ability must reach the third level to enable her to grow apple seeds and bear fruit in one go.

At her current rate of upgrading by absorbing wood energy, it would take at least two years to reach the third level, so she had to save some of the fruits with long growth cycles for herself.

“Okay, send it to me once you’ve replaced it. Your apples are of good quality, so there’s no need to worry.” Sister Liu smiled, waved goodbye to Su Mo at the intersection, and went back to work at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Su Mo went to the post office to call Su Tingde, and the things bought from the supply and marketing cooperative were placed in bamboo baskets, still covered with coarse cloth.

These days, long-distance calls are still very expensive because they require constant transfers, so long-distance calls are charged by the minute.

After Su Mo told the post office operator the area and number, the operator started drawing lots to transfer the call. After the call was connected, the operator handed the call over to Su Mo and left the small cubicle where the call was made.

These days, the quality of long-distance calls is quite poor, with a crackling sound of electricity filling the receiver.

“Uncle?” Su Mo called out tentatively.

“You girl, you still remember to call me? You didn’t even tell me in advance about such a big thing as marriage.”

“I, I didn’t have enough time.” Su Mo felt a little guilty.

“Long story short, what’s the man’s situation?”

“His name is Lu Changzheng, he is 24 years old, from the Lujia Village Production Brigade of Hongqi Commune, and is currently the deputy battalion commander of the 11th Regiment of the 4th Garrison Division of the Shenyang Military Region.”

Su Tingde raised his eyebrows, he knew it quite clearly.

“Why are you getting married in such a hurry? Are you being coerced?” Based on his understanding of his niece, she should like the gentle and elegant type, not the soldier type.

“He’s handsome, I like him.”

Su Tingde: …

How could she say such shameless words in a serious manner? Is this still his shy little niece? Could it be that her personality suddenly changed because of something at home?

This is not impossible. This girl has had smooth sailing since she was a child, and she has never suffered such hardships.

As a man, Su Tingde couldn’t discuss such things with his niece, so he had to change the subject.

“Is he good to you?”

“Yes.”

“What about him? Let him come and talk to me.”

“He returned to the team urgently today.”

Su Tingde remained silent. This was the downside of being a soldier, he left after only two days of marriage.

“How are his parents? How is his family? Are they good to you?”

“Everything is fine. We have our own house and don’t live with them.”

Only then did Su Tingde feel a little relieved.

“Just do some farm work as a token of your appreciation. Your uncle will send you money every month. We don’t need to rely on that little bit of work. When you find an opportunity, ask Changqing if there is a job and arrange one for you.”

“Uncle, no need. My husband will send me money.”

“He is him, and I am me. I am from the Su family. Do I need to rely on others for support?”

Su Mo: …

What kind of domineering declaration is this? But she has to admit, she likes it.

“Uncle, it’s really not necessary. Before I went to the countryside, I got a ‘non-staff correspondent’ certificate from Haishi Newspaper, and I can earn money by contributing articles to the newspaper.”

“The royalties are only a few bucks, so keep them. A woman needs to have money in her own hands, and she can rely on her parents so that she can stand firm in her husband’s family. If she relies on a man for support, she will lose the initiative.”

I have to say that Su Tingde really cares about his niece.

Su Mo was touched and did not refuse. She would send the remittance slip for the royalties to him when she received it. He would probably believe it with evidence.

“Thank you, uncle.” Apart from Lu Changzheng, this was the second person from whom she felt real care since she entered the book.

“This girl is still being polite to your uncle.” I have sent her a lot of money before, but I have never seen her be so polite. She has indeed grown up.

“By the way, your uncle has received your letter. Don’t worry, your uncle knows what’s going on.” Su Tingde changed the subject.

“Received? That’s pretty fast.” Su Mo calculated, and it was only 9 days in total.

“It’s so fast this time because of air transport. Normally it would take at least half a month,” Su Tingde said. “So if there is an emergency, just send a telegram or call uncle. Mailing a letter is too slow.”

“Yeah.” Su Mo nodded.

“How did you know they were going there?”

This news was only known to insiders at the time. How could Xiaomo, who was so far away in Heijiang Province, know about it?

“Yang Suyun wrote to me.”

Su Mo said this on purpose, just to let Su Tingde check the Yang family. Father Yang harmed the original owner’s family, don’t think it will be so irrelevant.

Su Tingde’s eyes flashed. How could the Yang family know?

“Okay, uncle will take care of it, you don’t have to worry about it. Don’t take too many risks, the most important thing is to take care of yourself.” These things are not suitable to be discussed on the phone, so they were just brushed over.

“I’ll ask your aunt to come visit you in a while. If you need anything, just tell her and ask her to bring it to you.”

Su Tingde thought about it and was still worried, so he decided to let his wife go and take a look to feel at ease.

“No need, uncle. It’s too hard for aunt to come all the way here.”

It would take at least ten days to travel from Guangxi to Heijiang by rail, right? It would be very painful to transfer trains.

“It’s okay. She was going to Hai City to take care of some things. Now that she’s in Hai City, she’ll go north to see you.”

Su Mo: …

This is not just walking north, we have reached the northernmost tip of our motherland.

“Okay, the phone call is expensive, so I won’t say any more. Don’t worry about Haishi’s matter, uncle will take care of it. Don’t worry about uncle here, uncle knows what’s going on.”

“Your great aunt will contact you when she leaves. Just tell her what you want then.”

“Take care of yourself, and try your best to take care of other things.”

Su Tingde was used to being a leader, so he hung up the phone after explaining the matter.

Su Mo: …

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Su Mo had no choice but to hang up and went to pay the phone bill silently.

Just a few words took 8 minutes, with a call charge of 1.1 yuan per minute, for a total of 8.8 yuan.

Su Mo felt a little painful. How many letters could she send with that much?
