Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 166 Seeing the Parents

Shopkeeper Xu is an elegant woman.

Know how to leave leeway when doing things.

Even though she didn't agree with Master Pian'er's previous behavior, she still paid the price quoted for the second time to take over his house.

This was another [-]% higher than the par price Su Mu promised him.

Unexpected joy.

Mr. Pian'er was very grateful to Shopkeeper Xu, and he almost thanked him profusely.

But he turned a blind eye to Su Mu next to him.

Obviously intentional.

Not showing any emotion of holding grudges was already the result of Mr. Pian'er's hesitation.

If it were someone else who had few ideas and was impatient, they might have fallen out at that moment.

Su Mu didn't pay much attention.

Just watching quietly from the side.

After Mr. Pian'er took the order money and left happily, Su Mu sneered.

"Master Pian'er, he doesn't have enough structure, so he still takes a narrow path."

The ambiguous words made it impossible for Shopkeeper Xu and Manager Cai to tell whether Su Mu was expressing the past or the future of Mr. Pian'er.

"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Xu for realizing your wish."

Su Mu did not emphasize that Chen Xueru also had a desire to get involved in Master Pian'er's ancestral home.

These are all lice on a bald man's head, and they're all obvious.

But Su Mu obviously had a closer relationship with Chen Xueru, but he chose to go far away to help him.

Shopkeeper Xu and Manager Cai must also know this.

Dealing with smart people is easy.

Don't be too deliberate or too obvious.

Favor.

It’s just accumulated bit by bit.

Su Mu said goodbye and left.

Shopkeeper Xu and Manager Cai looked at each other and smiled.

Today they are overjoyed.

Shopkeeper Xu went to find Chen Xueru and after meeting Su Mu by chance, he had already given up competing for Pian'erye's house.

I didn't expect the unexpected surprise to come so soon.

"I didn't expect that the honest and honest young man back then would be so good at playing tricks now."

Manager Cai's tone was filled with emotion.

"Yes."

Shopkeeper Xu’s emotion was even stronger.

Maybe this is a rose given to others, leaving a lingering fragrance in the hand.

The initial act of kindness led to today's victory.

Well, what Shopkeeper Xu is thinking about is the 'competition' with Chen Xueru.

I don’t know how Su Mu will explain to Chen Xueru later when he clearly favored his side.

Shopkeeper Xu thought Su Mu was bringing Master Pian'er here behind Chen Xueru's back.

But he underestimated Su Mu's position in Chen Xueru's life.

Su Mu can definitely make the decision on big things.

It's just that it's not that calm.

"Okay, don't be angry, I will take you somewhere..."

Su Mu didn't need to work too hard to coax Chen Xueru. After a few hugs and nibbles, everything was settled.

If it doesn't sit evenly, chew it a few more times.

Guaranteed to work.

Chen Xueru needs to dress up before going out.

A delicate woman will never allow herself to be sloppy when going out with the man she likes.

Be refined to the core.

When I went out, it was already afternoon.

Su Mu took advantage of Chen Xueru to tidy up upstairs and went out for a spin for two laps.

When I returned downstairs and waited, I saw that the handlebars of the Phoenix bicycle were covered with large and small bags.

There is nothing in the back, so I need to carry Sister Xueru.

"Where are we going?"

Chen Xueru asked expectantly.

She was very happy at this time and had a vague expectation.

"Just follow me."

Su Mu pretended to be mysterious.

A handsome and spirited man rides a brand-new bicycle carrying a delicate and beautiful woman through the streets of the capital. The scenery is very beautiful.

After a while, the bicycle arrived at the innermost part of Xijixiang Hutong.

Su Mu brought Chen Xueru to Aunt Li's place for dinner.

Su Mu introduced Aunt Li to Chen Xueru: "This is my wife, she is my only relative in the capital now."

There is nothing wrong with this introduction. Su Yingjun and sister-in-law Li Xiaolan are not in the capital, and Su Chuanbai is also far away in Fujian.

Aunt Li, the master's wife, held Chen Xueru's hand, smiling as if looking at her daughter-in-law, her old eyes narrowed into slits.

"This is your apprentice wife. You two are my closest friends in the capital."

Su Mu doesn't like to socialize, but he is definitely not unsociable.

It's just like 'the more you interact with people, the more you like animals'.

There was too much hypocrisy and intrigue in the business war experience in my previous life.

Looking back now, I really can't imagine how I didn't feel tired at that time and still enjoyed it.

Just thinking about it now makes me feel tired and unbearable.

Perhaps this is the sequelae of the reshaping of the character.

Secretly remembering the past, but deeply afraid of falling into it again.

It's very contradictory, but if you think about it carefully, it can be understood by some people who have experienced life.

The three closest people finally met, so naturally they were going to have a big meal.

"I didn't expect you to hide such a large family fortune quietly."

While Aunt Li was going to the hut, Chen Xueru's beautiful eyes rolled around and she secretly teased Su Mu.

"So, you really don't need to buy that house again."

"What's yours is not mine."

"Do we still share each other? This is your house."

Su Mu waved his hand and said proudly.

Although it's just a small courtyard, two enter the small courtyard and one enters the second courtyard which is slightly larger.

But I can't stand the fact that this is a 'luxury house' with three small courtyards connected to it.

It's much better than Pian'erye's.

And in terms of location, it's deep in an alley, quiet and comfortable, and it's definitely a good place to get some peace and quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

When visiting the elders of the Su Mu family for the first time, Chen Xueru naturally had to show off.

But you can't act like you're too lazy to eat.

An exquisite woman should be as exquisite and perfect as possible in every aspect.

Chen Xueru is the kind of person who strives for perfection in everything she does.

She and Aunt Li went to sort out the ingredients for dinner.

Only then did I realize that on this trip, Su Mu’s large and small bags were all filled with meat.

She was also a little worried, how could an elderly person like Aunt Li eat such greasy and indigestible food with her teeth and stomach?
But seeing Aunt Li smiling and looking at the piles of meat, not to mention how happy she was, she was too embarrassed to speak.

Su Mu sent Chen Xueru away and went straight to the secret room in the bedroom.

Su Mu would be most at ease if these precious martial arts books were placed in the space of 'grandma's courtyard'.

Just now, I communicated with the aunt while Sister Xueru was not paying attention.

After all, Aunt Li is almost a centenarian, a person who becomes more mature with age.

From the fleshy effect of Su Mu's initial resuscitation, it was revealed that Su Mu had a big secret.

Therefore, Su Mu proposed that she could do anything.

"My dear, if you still have time, put the things in those two rooms in as well. The old lady always feels uneasy these days. If you put them in, it will save me from sleeping uncomfortably..."

An old house where a treasure.

As she gets older and reaches Aunt Li's situation, she has a vague foreshadowing of the future. It is truly amazing how big the world is.

Su Mu also had this idea.

I originally planned to deal with the books I care about first.

For others, wait until the New Year is over and the wind blows before making tactful suggestions.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Li looks like a thin old lady with white hair, but in fact she is neither deaf nor blind, and she is like a mirror in her heart.

It could not be better.Everything was packed from the underground secret rooms in the three courtyards.

Finally, he went to the backyard of the second courtyard in the middle, where the old lady lived, and put two large yellow croakers into her pillow.

This is also what the old lady asked for.

A lifelong pursuit of yellow and white things.

It was very unbearable to put it away completely.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

But you still have to keep some thoughts of your favorite things within reach.

So I asked Sumu to leave two pieces and put them in the pillow.

Sleeping with this pillow every day will definitely make you feel more at ease.

After finishing the matter, Su Mu strolled to the back-seat room in the front yard.

There were two inverted rooms in the front yard of the second courtyard. Later, after the door was blocked, it became three rooms.

It was used as a kitchen by Aunt Li.

At this time, the two women were busy chatting while having dinner, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

Chen Xueru and Aunt Li felt like old friends at first sight, and Su Mu was in a particularly good mood.

If these two people don't deal with each other, I have to mediate in the middle, which would be very tiring.

At this time, the hare was stewed in the pot, and potatoes, cabbage and vermicelli were also stuffed.

Aunt Li was handling the fish on the chopping board. Auntie moved the knife like flying. Look at the steady strength of the blade and hit it wherever she pointed. She was no worse than the young people.

Sister Xueru was the one who helped.

The two of them were busy with their work. When Su Mu asked, they laughed in unison, but neither responded to him.

"Okay, Mistress, I saw that there was almost no oil in the kitchen, so I brought a bucket up from the cellar."

Su Mu shook the 4L white plastic bucket in his hand.

At least half the barrel.

"Oh, so much? Godmother, how long have you been saving?"

The amount of cooking oil is only two and a half taels per month. Didn’t you eat or drink in the past?

There is so much oil.

Chen Xueru is not short of money and has no worries about food and drink, but some special supplies cannot be obtained as much as she wants.

Seeing so much oil made her eyes warm.

"Ah? Hey, hey, that's not it. I've been saving for a long time, but I just brought it all out..."

Aunt Li was startled, and then she used Hahaha to help Su Mu cover up.

In her cellar, there is nothing else besides cabbage, potatoes and radishes.

If there really is so much oil, why do we need to stew it every time we eat?

Doesn’t she taste delicious when fried?
Aunt Li has two hobbies in her life.

Yellow and white things and the desire of the tongue.

It's just that Aunt Li's hobby is a hobby after all, and she won't do it like the other two people, knowing that she can't do it.

At least he cherishes his life more.

This was Su Mu's way of filial piety to him, and he was just looking for an excuse.

Aunt Li subconsciously protected her and helped Sumu cover up.

"I'll do this fish."

Su Mu put the oil aside and took the knife from the master's wife's hand.

Aunt Li put down the knife and went to pick up the oil.

She looks like a skinny old lady, but her legs and feet are nimble and she is really strong.

Carrying a 4L oil drum is like carrying two leeks.

"My dear, don't stew the fish. Let's fry it in oil. It will taste delicious."

The old lady changed her words while pouring oil into the oil can.

"okay."

Su Mu responded.

Next to her, Chen Xueru smiled.

Shoulders shrugged.

Just now the old lady said that as we get older, we have bad gastrointestinal problems and cannot eat anything too fatty.

Now he watched the apprentice take out the oil, and then changed his mind.

Really interesting.

Well, Su Mu's master... What did Su Mu learn from his master?

Chen Xueru realized it later and remembered it now.

What kind of craft should I learn from the master? I didn’t say it just now, I don’t know yet.

……

In the afternoon, when Su Mu took Chen Xueru to Xijixiang Hutong, Banggan also got off school and led his two younger sisters to watch other children playing at the entrance of the alley.

As the New Year approaches, children more or less carry some small whips in their pockets.

It was inserted into the snow, and with a bang, snowflakes flew everywhere, causing screams again and again.

Whenever this happens, the initiator will be particularly proud.

There is also a small whip inserted into the bark of a tree, and with a snap, a piece of old bark is broken far away.

"Brother, I also want to use small whips. Can I ask my mother to buy 100 whips for us? 100 whips are only 2 cents a piece..."

Little Sophora japonica looked at the people playing in the distance with envy in her eyes.

"Sophora japonica, my mother has to pay my brother's tuition, so how can I have the money to buy a whip?"

Xiaodang explained to his sister.

"Don't worry about it, I'll find a way."

Banggan knew that the steel rolling mill was closed today, but he really had to pay 2 yuan in tuition for himself. How could he survive this new year?

What's more, I overheard yesterday that my mother wanted to make a new dress for Sophora japonica.

Although Banggeng is not a good character, the fact that he loves his sister is worthy of recognition.

"Brother, can you buy a small whip? I really want to set off firecrackers."

"No problem, just wait, I will take you to buy a whip later."

Banggan saw He Yuzhu's figure from a distance, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it.

Bangge ran over.

Xiaodang and Huaihua stood there.

"Sophora japonica, you want me to be a thief again, right? This is not good."

"But, but, I really want to set off the whip, but I don't dare. I need you, sister, to help me..."

Xiao Dang also hesitated when he heard that Xiao Huaihua asked him to help her set off firecrackers.

"Uncle Silly, Uncle Silly."

Banggeng called out to He Yuzhu.

Behind his back, Banggeng calls him Silly Zhu, and when he wants to ask for help, he calls him Silly Uncle.

After all, in my heart, Bangge's father is a powerful technician. He Yuzhu, a cook, can't compare to him, so I look down on him in my heart.

"Hey, you kid still dare to see me and steal my peanuts. What's going on?"

He Yuzhu was actually not angry, he was just playing around with Banggeng.

I feel that I can get along with Sister Qin's children and appear close to them.

"Uncle Silly, I won't tell you that today."

"Good boy, if you don't talk about that, I won't listen to anything else."

He Yuzhu raised his legs and left.

BangGeng said quickly: "I have a way to call Teacher Ran to our courtyard. What reward will you give me?"

Bangge discovered it when Silly Zhu asked Teacher Yan to introduce Teacher Ran.

Even though he is young, he is very ambitious.

Teacher Yan never helped introduce Shazhu, and he knew it.

It is estimated that the relationship between Silly Zhu, the third uncle and Ran Qiuye may be the clearest in the entire compound.

Like a little adult.

The firecrackers that my sister wanted and her tuition fees depended on him.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu grinned with joy.

"See?" He Yuzhu pointed to the lunch box in his net pocket: "This box of braised pork belongs to you."

Banggeng made a look of disdain: "The third uncle has done so many things for you, but it hasn't been completed yet. You gave him so many local products, wow..."

Banggan looks like a little grown-up, with his hands behind his back and one leg stuck there.

"Little bastard, I really underestimated you."

He Yuzhu was not angry but happy: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Banggeng stretched out his finger: "Two eight dollars."

He Yuzhu's face turned cold when he heard Bangge open his mouth to ask for money, and asked seriously: "Young kid, what do you want money for?"
