Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 179
At around eight o'clock, An Zhiqiang finished the intravenous drip. While Huang Dongliang was out, he secretly took out the wine bottle from his arms and took a few sips.

"Brother An, you..."

"Hey, it's okay, you don't know, it would be really fatal if we didn't have this thing."

Much later, during an accident on a field mission, Su Mu truly understood Deputy Director An Zhiqiang's horoscope evaluation.

"The gun never leaves your hand, and the wine never leaves your mouth."

The charcoal fire in the stove in the office was burning brightly, and it was freezing cold outside. The two people inside were sitting by the stove, drinking wine and chatting, feeling very comfortable being scorched by the heat.

In the evening, the sound of fou beating was heard in the yard announcing that it was time to get off work.

Uncle Wang was humming a tune while pushing his bicycle. When Uncle Ding was leaving, he came over and shouted.

At that time, Huang Dongliang accompanied An Zhiqiang to change the dressing and he hadn't come back yet.

Uncle Ding casually put the key on Su Mu's desk.

Let him wait until Xiao Huang comes back and hand it over to him.

At this moment, Huang Dongliang is probably in the office on the ground floor of the gun barrel room, laying a floor mat.

The time came to more than 11 o'clock.

An Zhiqiang couldn't bear it and went to sleep inside.

After all, he has an injured physique, which is incomparable to a spirited young man like Su Mu.

Su Mu turned over his hands and stuffed two red sweet potatoes into the stove.

One will be eaten by oneself later, and the other will be kept until Brother An wakes up to replenish some energy.

After eating the sweet potatoes that grew in the ground in my own space, my injuries were healed and healed.

I never paid attention to this before, after all, I didn’t study it specifically.

But after what happened to Aunt Li, Su Mu realized it later.

The quiet night of the New Year holiday.

A howling sound suddenly sounded outside the window lattice.

got windy.

Su Mu came to the window, pressed the unclosed window latch firmly, thought for a moment, opened the door and walked out.

The wind was louder outside, and the tips of the green pine trees were swaying wildly.

It felt like the yard was stuck in a draft, and the wind that blew in hit Xuan'er.

Go to the toilet behind the old locust tree in the southwest corner.

The toilet has no smell and is cleaned very well.

Maybe it's because the cold weather and the odor are trapped in it.

Su Mu picked up his pants and walked out slowly.

His inner breath is strong, and during this period he has resumed practicing breathing and breathing, and his physical condition is even stronger.

Hot and cold are secondary to him.

Sudden.

Su Mu stopped.

Not far to the right, a small animal appeared on the wall.

Several pairs of secret gazes locked onto the past subconsciously.

Su Mu's spirit suddenly became tense, and he subconsciously 'perceived' the three areas outside the wall.

As the former leader of the Tiger Team that traveled all over the world to run "business", I have extensive experience in lurking and interfering.

He paused for less than three seconds before running towards the northwest corner with both legs.

That's the corner between the boiler room and the townhouse.

When passing by during the day, Su Mu discovered that there were at least two blind spots in the vision of the area.

One of the blind spots is a dark place that can hide about 1 meter.

If someone sneaks in, curling up and hiding in the corner of this area is enough to avoid it.

And the method of secondary transfer...

not too much.

Wow wow wow...

Suddenly, several rough and hoarse cries of the old bird drifted out along with the wind.

Su Mu stopped, turned around and looked to the right.

There was a subtle sound from the branches above the old locust tree.

Su Mu frowned slightly.

The last sound was the friction of the gun barrel against a branch.

In the strong wind, it is easy to be ignored.

But Su Mu frowned because of this voice.

Because the movement of this secret whistle was too large, it was very likely that he would expose himself and his comrades.

Su Mu flipped his wrist, and a stone slammed into the black figure crouching on the wall.

There was a series of panicked flapping sounds.

Two crows were startled.

Just when the secret whistles breathed a sigh of relief.

A "muffled" sound mixed in the wind, obviously coming from the mouth, came from behind the wall where the crow flew.

"Who?"

The nearest old locust tree made a cold whistle, and the two figures quickly fell to the wall, then jumped down and chased them out.

Su Mu closed her eyes.

He just stood in the yard silently, motionless.

After more than ten seconds, he turned his head.

Seeing the direction of the office, Brother An Zhiqiang had a gun in his hand and was standing at the door.

"what happened?"

Seeing Su Mu looking over, An Zhiqiang asked.

Although this old man was injured, he was really alert.

The series of chain movements outside were actually not big, and they lasted less than 1 minute in total.

Not only did this man get up from the innermost kang, he was also fully armed.

Su Mu shook his head and did not elaborate.

The two returned to the house.

Their job is to stay here.

Naturally, other people will follow up on matters outside the yard.

"There should be someone trying to infiltrate just now. Use the crow to attract attention on the south wall, and then sneak in from the blind observation corner in the direction of the boiler room..."

"There are guards on three sides of the boiler room. Can people be hidden?"

An Zhiqiang doesn't quite believe this speculation.

"There is a shadow of about 1 meter. If the person sneaking in is not too big, curling up is enough to hide."

I saw An Zhiyong still frowning.

Su Mu smiled: "Brother An, why don't we try it ourselves?"

An Zhiyong raised his eyebrows: "How to try?"

……

No. 95, Nanluoguxiang.

Qin Huairu caught the last train back.

This New Year's Day is enough for her to be busy.

We went out before dawn, and didn't come back until the moon was over the treetops. We braved the wind and snow and were covered with stars and moon all the way.

You must know that this is the Chinese New Year. Going back to your hometown is not just a matter of just running to find Qin Jingru. You also have to entertain seven aunts and eight aunts.

It not only consumes physical strength, but also consumes brains. After this busy trip, you can see the dust.

Just after passing through the hanging flower gate, I heard the noise from the third master Yanbu Gui's family in the west wing.

A hint of envy flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes.

It wasn't that she was envious of the happy family, but because of her sharp ears, she heard Xu Damao's voice inside.

Xu Damao is so lavish, his dinner party is so lively...

The food designation is not bad.

"How lucky you are, third uncle. The chicken Yu Li stewed is really good. It's delicious and the craftsmanship is good..."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt hungry again.

At the end of the day, I only made up for it with some noodle soup at noon, and now my stomach is already empty.

Hungry.

Qin Huairu really did not hesitate to make this trip in order to save the meal for her relatives in the third year of junior high school.

Introduce Qin Jingru to He Yuzhu, get a chef for nothing, and bring your own meals with two dishes and one soup...

Jia Zhang urged, but Qin Huairu reluctantly did so.

The mother-in-law opened her mouth, and the daughter-in-law ran away and broke her leg.

After taking two steps, I met the third aunt coming out of the house again...

After several more minutes of delay, Qin Huairu returned to his home.

"You're back, why...Jingru isn't with you?"

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu coming back, she glanced behind her and saw that no one was following her. She couldn't help but feel disappointed. She thought it didn't work out: "She's not happy?"

"She's happy. If she has the chance to marry into the city, wouldn't she be happy?" "Then why didn't she come back with you?"

"If you come back with me, should I buy the ticket, or should she?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said while taking off her coat.

"If you do something for her, she must buy it."

Jia Zhang said without thinking.

Although the reason why Mrs. Jia Zhang was tempted to arrange marriage for He Yuzhu with Zhang Luo was because she wanted to take advantage of him.

What's more, Qin Huairu was pushed to Su Mu in the front yard by her, and now she is obviously a little repelled from continuing to 'fish' for Silly Zhu.

Then let Qin Jingru, a relative, come.

Haolai is also a relative, not a relative.

This is Jia Zhang's plan.

Everything is for themselves, but they legitimately believe that they are doing things for the other party.

"Come on, my sister is fine. I agreed. I didn't come with you today. I said I would pack up tonight and come by car tomorrow morning."

Just to save one person’s ticket money.

"I told her that this is a blind date. Even if we don't get along, the man will buy her a ticket back."

This is what Shazhu said himself yesterday.

It's just a matter of a few cents. In order to go on a blind date, He Yuzhu always handed out two bags of souvenirs. This piece of eighty cents really didn't feel bad.

Marrying a wife is a big deal, it's not about money.

"Well, no matter what, she is still your sister. Being a relative means she is better than an outsider."

Jia Zhang murmured in disinterest.

Qin Huairu didn't think so: "Just my sister..."

He shook his head and curled his lips.

"Hey, where are the three children?"

"Si Zhu's family is eating dumplings."

"Why didn't you go?"

"Me? On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, I and an old woman are going to eat dumplings with me. So, do I still want this old face..."

Jia Zhang really wanted to come.

No fun.

Although no one went there, we ate plenty of dumplings.

BangGeng brought a plate over.

That meat filling is so fragrant.

The top plate was completely polished off, and Qin Huairu didn't have a single thing left.

"Is there anything to eat at home? I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed to my back..."

"The children all went to Shazhu's house to eat, so I didn't do anything, so I just made do with some."

Jia Zhang said casually, and then rolled her eyes: "Well, guests came to Sumu's house at noon. Let's eat for a while. It seems that something happened, and a group of people left again. How about... you go and help clean up. Cleaning up?”

No wonder I just saw the lights out in Su Mu’s house.

Qin Huairu didn't think about anything else, that's all. The image of a pot of ribs suddenly appeared in her mind.

Although I don’t know how good Yu Li is at stewing chicken, the ribs stewed with sumac are really delicious.

As soon as he thought about it, Qin Huairu's saliva overflowed from under his tongue.

"This...isn't it?"

Before Qin Huairu finished speaking, Jia Zhang's face dropped.

He sat down on the chair with a heavy butt, and the table shook with his arm.

"Whether you want to go or not, our family has nothing to eat now."

Qin Huairu also felt angry.

What does it mean to have nothing at home?
Where's the meat?What about white noodles?

I brought them all back.

You don’t know how much I’ve suffered outside because of these things. It’s only been one day, and I’ve fallen out with you at every turn.

Qin Huairu felt angry, but she couldn't get angry.

He stood up silently, turned around and walked out.

I didn't even take my coat or scarf. I took the two lunch boxes from the cabinet and walked out.

The north room was also quite lively, with Sophora japonica squeaking and saying something, which made He Yuzhu burst into laughter.

When Qin Huairu entered the hall and walked along the verandah to Su Mu's house, she touched her face with a hint of wetness.

Open the cotton curtain.

Qin Huairu tried to push the door.

If the door was bolted or locked, she would turn away.

I also felt that Su Mu hadn’t finished the entire table of dishes, so why would he take them with him when he went out?

Then, the door of the house creaked open.

Qin Huairu didn't know why, but her heart felt warm.

The stoves in the sumu house were obviously out, but Qin Huairu suddenly felt less cold.

pat.

Qin Huairu entered the house, first pulled the light cord, then turned around and closed the door.

She turned around to enter the house, then suddenly stopped.

After pausing for three or four seconds, he turned around and bolted the door.

Enter the house.

I saw the table full of dishes and barely moved.

While Qin Huairu was feeling emotional, she was also full of appetite.

She stretched out her hand and picked up a piece of braised pig's trotters whose grease had solidified and turned white.

into the mouth.

chew.

Chew hard and hard.

Fragrant.

So delicious.

The more chewy the more fragrant.

Jia Zhang's original intention was for Qin Huairu to take away the leftovers in the name of helping Sumu 'clean the battlefield'.

She knew that the Sumu family had not eaten for long before they were called away due to an emergency.

Jia Zhang didn't care why Su Mu was called away. Isn't it normal for someone to call him to go to someone else's house during the Chinese New Year?

Moreover, Su Yingjun's father-in-law was the leader of the compound, and she knew that.

What Jia Zhang is concerned about is that the wine party here is obviously not over yet, and there is definitely a lot of leftovers.

This is what she has always wanted.

Qin Huairu picked up another chicken thigh from the roast chicken.

After thinking for a moment, he put it back, picked up another piece of chicken breast from the plate, and put it in his mouth.

The faint salty smell made Qin Huairu narrow her eyes.

then……

Instead of cleaning up, she started to light the stove.

The little widow simply thought that Su Mu might come back in the evening. The house was too cold, so she wanted to help him light the stove to warm the house.

Besides, it’s not good for women to eat too cold food.

Today is the Chinese New Year. At this time, it is estimated that not many people will come to Sumu to visit.

In the few seconds she paused at the door, she made a ridiculous and bold decision in her heart.

After eating, leave again.

Turn on the stove, take the ribs, chicken nuggets and braised hare meat back to the kitchen and return them to the pot.

The cooked food was not put in the steamer, but she put away the spoons and chopsticks on the table.

While the dishes were being heated, the washing was finished.

It really feels like living alone in an empty room in a new home.

Even if it was sneaky, Qin Huairu was immersed in it and seemed to enjoy it.

Between his eyebrows and at the corners of his mouth, there was a smile that never disappeared.

Until she burped after eating, she folded part of the food and stuffed it into two lunch boxes, and was about to leave.

Standing at the door, holding the light cord in her hand, she looked into the empty, clean room, her eyes full of nostalgia and... regret.

pat.

The Sumu family's house fell into darkness again.

But in the darkness, a white flame occasionally flashes, and in the dark night, that ray of light persists.

Qin Huairu walked through the hall carrying two lunch boxes. Before entering the house, she heard Sha Zhu talking to Xu Damao in the backyard.

"What are you doing? You're so old and you've never even touched a woman. Go to one side or the other..."

Xu Damao's speech was unclear and he obviously drank a lot.

"You are great, you are great. You have a wife. What's the use? Then you don't have a son either... Brother, I will marry a wife right away. After marrying my wife, I will give birth to a fat boy. I will be so angry with you." I……"
