Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 186
Lou Xiao'e was born as a lady in the family. Although she was married to Xu Damao, she still had nothing to do with her.

When Xu Damao was at home, he would cook for her. When Xu Damao was not at home, she would go out to eat in a restaurant or go back to her parents' house to eat.

During these years of marriage, apart from learning how to wash clothes, I also just served as a vase decoration.

She is good at running the house, and her professional skills are barely in the negative double digits.

Xu Damao felt relaxed.

It's just that the days are free and the wallet is free.

After all, Xu Damao spends money on the wild flower Jingru girl outside, which is not a waste of money.

It was like a surging river, like the Yellow River overflowing, and it was impossible to stop it. Well... anyway, it was just a flower pretending to be extravagant and extravagant.

It's about to be stretched.

Yan Jiecheng's life in the front yard was also visibly uncomfortable.

I have been getting angry since the first month.

Either there were pimples on his face or blisters on his mouth. Later this month, he looked normal. However, there were more wine shops outside and there were so many friends. Su Mu climbed over the wall several times to go to Xiaoshi and came back. As for him.

Yan Bugui prides himself on being from a scholarly family, and his eldest son, a man with a family, has learned to stay up all night and live in debauchery...

I just don’t know what Yanbu Guizhen would do if he found out.

Su Mu was surprised that Yu Li turned a blind eye to her man's behavior.

Sometimes before Su Mu goes shopping in Xiaoshi, he will listen to Qiang Gen along the way.

I also encountered a couple quarreling in the middle of the night.

Yu Li's tone was very irritable, and Yan Jiecheng's tongue was tied up. He was so drunk that it sounded like he was drunk.

Counting with fingers, it was just a day or two after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Later, let alone the quarrel, I never heard the young couple talking to each other again.

It's like there's only one person in the room.

It's a bit of a 'tacit understanding' where everyone has his own way.

Su Mu looked very interesting.

Yan Jiecheng deserved bad luck because he couldn't deal with Chen Dakui, and he was also scolded by him.

If not for anything else, I just feel that seeing Yan Jiecheng in such a state makes me feel at ease.

The cart entered the yard.

Smoke curled up from the front yard, and everyone was lighting a fire to cook.

Third Aunt and Yu Li are also busy.

Seeing Su Mu's figure, the third aunt greeted Su Mu warmly.

Su Mu also smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Yu Li, the little daughter-in-law, looked at him with a polite smile on her lips, but said nothing.

When she and I occasionally borrowed and returned bicycles and chatted with him while eating pastries in the house, we were almost completely different.

"Third aunt, you are busy, I have to go back first, there will be guests at home later."

After saying hello, the Sumu cart returned to the east.

The hall's room has been sorted out.

There was no decoration, it was just cleared and turned into an empty house.

Su Mu planned to wait for the weather to get completely warm, paint it, and then open a door under the stairs here.

Block up the inside of the hall and you'll have a very practical suite.

But, don’t worry yet.

Having too many houses is also a problem.

Last month, I went to Aunt Wang to go through the formalities for a public-to-private buyout, and it was still Su Mu's name.

According to Director Wang, it doesn't matter. Your job and position are there, and they comply with the rules. Don't worry.

Su Mu just let it go.

Su Yingjun and sister-in-law Li Xiaolan emphasized this several times on the phone.

It seems that these two are going to take root in Quancheng and have no plans to come back in the short term.

This short term may be a lifetime.

The car was parked at Beiwushan in the east wing.

The place where Su Mu once lived has grown spontaneously and turned into Su Mu's exclusive parking space.

Open the door and enter the house, first change into a loose and casual outfit.

Wearing a shirt, trousers and leather shoes with steel plates in the middle is not as comfortable as a pullover crew-neck shirt, wide-leg pants with an elastic waistband, and a pair of customized open-toed slippers with inline risers.

And they are all breathable and water-absorbent pure cotton fabrics.

It is more comfortable to wear next to the body.

After changing into her home attire, Su Mu went into the kitchen, put on an apron and started working.

I just told the third aunt that I would receive guests later, which was really not nonsense.

He really made an appointment with Han Jiuyang.

But, the purpose of Sumu is to receive guests. After all, when people come to their own home, they must show their kindness to the landlord.

And what about Lao Han...

He wanted to introduce someone to Su Mu.

The eldest brother is no longer young, and it really doesn’t make sense that he doesn’t have a partner.

In his words, for this man, it is not a problem if he does not have a wife at home. He must also pay attention to the balance of yin and yang in his work and life...

Su Mu is worried.

I declined several times.

But Lao Han mentioned it many times, quite enjoying it.

In the end, Su Mu could only reluctantly agree.

I also specifically warned you.

Just treat it as an introduction from a friend, don't be so direct and straightforward to avoid embarrassment.

Su Mu said this, and Lao Han also said he understood.

But when people come later, Su Mu really can't predict what development will happen.

There are six steamed buns in the steamer, two layers of steamer baskets, three on each layer.

Each steamed bun is bigger than Sumu’s palm.

An eight-liang weight, just a lot more.

Because her job was stable, Su Mu had more free time.

Unless there are special circumstances, he only goes to Xiaoshi two or three times a month. This is an excuse for Qin Huairu to source things, and it is also a repertoire of leisure activities.

Bedtime two nights a week.

In Xijixiang Hutong, Chen Xueru and I fell in love with each other and cherished each other.

It's just that Sister Xueru will go on business trips when she is busy, and she will occasionally change shifts at night.

An Zhiqiang's family has many people, so there are many things to do.

Therefore, the time is not particularly fixed, but there is a high probability that one rest day is locked.

There is still plenty of time left.

Su Mu spent his time on eating, drinking and having fun besides practicing.

Squeeze spinach juice and make noodles, and the steamed buns will be emerald green, taste good, and have high nutritional value.

It is the top staple food that Su Mu keeps at home.

Taking it out to entertain Lao Han today is quite sincere.

I waved my arm across the table, and there were many vegetables and fruits next to the tree chopping board.

When the chili eggs come out of the pot, put the plate into the pot, count to tens silently, and then flip the wok. The eggs and chili peppers will stick together. It is not only beautiful, but also not broken. It is easy to add vegetables when eating.

Stir-fried bacon with fungus.

The fungus is the authentic wild fungus from Northeast China. Uncle Kong gave it to Uncle Ding who was stationed in the Northeast.

Bacon is a hybrid pig raised by Sumu Space.

Wild boars and white pigs were bred, bred, and bred again... and many varieties were produced.

There are black pigs whose bloodline is more wild boar, and there are domestic pigs which are more white pigs...

Fungus cleanses the mouth, so the material used is the back elbow meat which is more white-colored.

Two dishes are served.

Sumu skillfully brushed the pot, dried the bottom of the pot, and put in oil...

Before the fried peanuts, the dish that goes with wine, could be taken out of the pot, I heard Old Han's voice coming from the yard.

"Lao Su, where are you? Why don't you come out to pick up the guests?"

Su Mu had three black lines on his forehead, and suddenly felt that he was missing the role of an old madam.

he ~ tui... bah!Pooh!Pooh!

"Old Han, the oil has just come out of the pot, please put the pestle at the door for a while..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the room rang, and Old Han's voice came to the kitchen door with a familiar voice in front of him and a figure behind him.

"What delicious food did you get? Oh, it's quite rich!" Su Mu held a frying spoon in one hand and a bowl of peanuts that was about to be punished by being put into the frying pan in the other, looking up at him.

But I saw him winking.

"I brought a colleague with me. Hurry up and come out to say hello."

"Okay, you greet me first. After cooking this snack, I will go over."

After Su Mu finished frying the peanuts, he walked out of the kitchen, crossed the balcony, and entered the house.

Old Han was sitting in the back, facing the door of the room. His colleague was tall and tall as could be seen from his sitting posture.

Following the sound behind her, the girl Wusi swayed and looked back.

Su Mu saw the brightness flashing in her eyes.

At least, the first impression is good.

Su Mu's first impression of her colleague Lao Han was good. The girl's facial features were very beautiful, and they were even more beautiful together. She had bright and white teeth. From the bold eyes that she looked at each other, and the toothy nod and smile, you could tell what her personality was. The straightforward one.

And Su Mu was also sure that the other person's first impression of him was not good.

It's true.

"Cao Weiwei, a new colleague who just came to the bureau last year. Weiwei, this is the Su Mu I'm telling you about. She has been in charge of Branch 02 for less than three months. She just retired from the army and changed her job."

Han Jiuyang's introduction made the atmosphere a little awkward, and Su Mu glared at him.

What did you say before?

It's not just what we agreed to do, it's about making friends.

But no matter how you hear this, it is the matchmaker who introduces the two parties to the blind date.

Cao Weiwei stood up, her height almost reaching the corner of Su Mu's eyes.

Among girls, she is definitely considered tall.

The upper body is a very fashionable pilot's formal jacket, with the arms open, and a white shirt underneath.

Looking at the wrinkles and material, it’s undoubtedly good.

A pair of beige trousers made of rough canvas. The material is ordinary but the shape is very correct. The trousers are tied into black riding boots. The dress is very smart, but the details and materials also reflect the extraordinary identity.

Those who don’t have a strong family background or a deep background don’t even dare to dream about this.

Now that everyone is here, everyone is obviously hungry at this point.

There was no restraint, the three of them served it twice, and six plates of food and drinks were served on the table.

In addition to the three dishes prepared by Su Mu himself, there are also three plates of cooked food that are always available in Su Mu's space.

Braised pork trotters, sauced elbows, and hand-mixed tripe.

The food was very hard, but Lao Han and Cao Weiwei didn't find it too surprising.

The vision and cognition are all there.

Cao Weiwei was quite interested in the small but unexpectedly exquisite layout of Sumu's house.

But that was when he first entered the house, and Su Mu had already "vented his emotions" before he came out.

It was impossible for her to reveal that she couldn't help but wander around just now.

No matter how cheerful and straightforward this girl is, it would be difficult for her to become so mature.

The wine was two bottles of Fenjiu brought by Old Han.

Cao Weiwei unexpectedly came over and took a drink.

The sense of déjà vu for the big girl in Beijing became even stronger.

"Brother from the courtyard?"

Su Mu asked curiously.

"You too?"

Cao Weiwei tilted her head slightly.

Su Mu shook his head slightly: "Barely half."

Those running on the ground and those flying in the sky are not next to each other.

On the other hand, Uncle Zhao may live in the same compound as her family.

After drinking until it got dark, Cao Weiwei, a big girl from the capital, drank about half a catty, and the rest was divided equally between Su Mu and Lao Han.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, a basket of green steamed buns that looked like handicrafts was served.

Su Mu introduced his 'proud work' to them, and in a daze, he seemed to see a flash of... contempt on the corner of Cao Weiwei's mouth?
Disdain?

Still disapproving?

I glanced at Lao Han, who was feeling the elasticity of the dough-made steamed buns with his fingers, and then turned his head to look at it. The only thing he saw was the girl's gratitude for taking the steamed buns and her compliments of "it looks good and tastes good."

Maybe he was in a trance.

If Fenjiu is not old enough, it is easy to get drunk.

After having enough wine and food, Su Mu sent Lao Han and Cao Weiwei out of the yard.

"Old Han, drive slower."

Sumu warned them.

"Don't worry. We'll make another appointment some other time. Let's go now."

Lao Han was not very drunk, and driving after drinking was a bad habit. This was the result of decades later when cars became more common and there were more people on the road.

just now……

In fact, no matter how narrow the road is, it still looks wide. There are pedestrians on the road, but it feels like they have eyes on the back of their heads, and they will immediately avoid the jeep.

And those who drive bicycles...

Bicycles are still a rare and large item on the street.

After sending the guests away, Su Mu turned around and returned to the courtyard.

There is a figure standing on one side of the hanging flower door.

It was so quiet that it almost didn’t scare Su Mu.

"Huh? Why are you standing here?"

It's Yu Li.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the third uncle Yanbu's noble family.

In front of the third uncle and the third aunt, Su Mu and Yu Li were a little more reserved than strangers, but without anyone else around them, they could actually talk quite well when they were alone.

"Were they your colleagues just now? Are they a couple?"

"No, I'm a new guy who has just been assigned to the unit. My friend is leading the team."

"Oh."

Yu Li was thoughtful.

"Want to sit in my room?"

Su Mu joked coldly.

Yu Li glared at him.

In the dark, he asked someone else's daughter-in-law to sit in his room. This sounds so...exciting.

"Let's go, we have to go back and clean up the house, it's a mess."

Yu Li watched Su Mu enter the hanging flower door and turned back to the house.

Her house is the westernmost part of the inverted house. The disadvantage is that the south window is small and the light is not very good, facing the shade.

The advantage is that there is a moon gate across it, which makes it look like a private courtyard.

Convenient and clean.

Sumu returns to the house.

There is already a busy figure in the room.

In fact, everyone in the courtyard knew that Qin Huairu helped Su Mu with housework.

After all, the Jia family had committed sins and signed debts before.

Qin Huairu always said that whether she helped Su Mu wash clothes, made the bed and took care of the housework, it was all to pay off the debt.

Qin Huairu did the same thing for Shazhu's family before, and it was also a change of ownership of the lunch box for several years.

People work hard without asking for anything in return.

The Jia and Zhang family took something from the Sumu family. Although no one reported it immediately, everyone knew it.

This is not the first time that Qin Huairu has helped others.

Having learned from past mistakes makes it easier to accept.

After all, no one knew that Qin Huairu not only provided housekeeping services, but also provided extensive health care.

Who in the entire courtyard doesn't know that Sumu has a thick and generous thigh.

Qin Huairu took advantage of Sumu's ride on the pretext of paying off debts, and the Jia family's quality of life improved visibly.

Usually in the second half of the month, the Jia family is in constant trouble with food shortages, all thanks to Qin Huairu's advance payment of food stamps and her circling around, demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall.

But since returning from the sulfur harvest, Qin Huairu's family can eat white flour steamed buns for every child, and even eats meat much more frequently than the third uncle's family in the front yard.

This was still caught by someone.

Isn’t there more that can’t be seen?

The exact quantity and quality of this matter may only be remembered by both parties involved.
