Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 203 Ran Qiuye invites you

After resting for two days.

Su Mu returned to work in the library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

An Zhiqiang finally took a break and could recuperate openly.

It’s not easy either.

During the day, Su Mu's duties on duty were not heavy. He would wander to the back to chat with Uncle Wang.

Uncle Ding is there occasionally, but his ears are not very good and he always speaks with great force, so he is a bit reticent.

Su Mu was still more willing to chat with Uncle Wang.

Each person carried a large enamel pot with tea in it, and chatted for a long time.

Sumu’s fine jasmine was bought with the help of Uncle Wang.

Not only does he have his own channels, but it is said that his son and eldest daughter are also very capable. The two cans of Yuqian Longjing from Shifeng Mountain were made on impulse by Uncle Wang last time.

Su Mu reminded him of the previous time every time he had a chat with him.

Today, Su Mu brought an extra-large enamel jar with jasmine flowers soaked in it and came to the back row to find Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang was happy when he saw Sumu.

"Boy, this old man wants to eat well for lunch, please treat me."

What he said is reasonable.

Su Mu immediately beamed with joy.

"Hey, Uncle Wang, if you have anything good, please bring it out."

Uncle Wang happily took out a tea jar from the drawer below.

It's made of iron, and everything that's been touched on the outside looks like it's covered in starch.

"Mingqian Longjing, this is good stuff. My eldest son-in-law came to the capital for a meeting yesterday, and I won't be willing to give it to you if I don't bring even one jar."

The Longjing tea picked before the Qingming Festival is of excellent quality and has always been known as the best Longjing tea because the bract leaves are beginning to unfold and the buds are beginning to emerge at this time. The tea leaves have high water content and are extremely fresh and tender.

It's even better than the Yuqian Longjing that Uncle Wang promised.

Su Mu happily accepted it.

Uncle Ding is not here. If he sees him, he will definitely lose one or two percent of his body.

Although Uncle Ding is not good at tea, he likes to tease Menzi. In Su Mu's opinion, he is not very talkative but has a funny heart, which is an objective manifestation of modern people.

Old kids, old kids, that’s what I’m talking about.

After a while, the young man Huang Dongliang also came.

He is still a reserve, equipped with an armed belt, leggings, and pistol.

He was on duty every night in the gun barrel room.

Don't drink tea when you come in, sit cross-legged on the floor, take apart the pistol, wipe it and maintain it.

Su Mu sniffed his nose.

"Hey, when did you fire a gun?"

Uncle Wang gave Su Mu a thumbs up. He only had three fingers on his right hand, and the thumbs up gesture looked a bit awkward.

"last night……"

Huang Dongliang explained it again.

There was no danger last night, but someone did want to come in, and was finally discovered. When he climbed over the wall, Huang Dongliang got excited and shot the other person.

It's just that the marksmanship is not effective in actual combat.

The deviation is quite far.

But not for nothing.

Although he did not hit anyone, he did hit a wild cat.

An Zhiqiang took the lead and joked that "the gun never misses".

"What about the cat?"

"I wiped my belly and hind legs and put it in the corner of the terraced house. Director Su, cat meat is sour, so there's no need..."

"Go, have a look."

Eat cat meat?

Sumu is really not that good.

There are no less than 15 varieties of cattle in his space. There are four types of Japanese Wagyu: black-haired Wagyu, brown-haired Wagyu, short-horned Wagyu and hornless Wagyu.

There are quite a few Belgian blue bulls who are known as bodybuilders. How can you miss the wild cat with not even a kilogram of meat on its body?

I just suddenly had an idea and wanted to see if I could try it.

In a corner of the row house, there was a black kitten lying lazily on the hay and basking in the sun.

He is small and skinny.

It is said that a cat has nine lives, which refers not only to its life-saving skills when falling in space, but also its body's ability to recover.

Just a Chinese pastoral cat with no characteristics.

The whole body is black, with four white claws and a white patch on the chest, like a square scarf tied under the neck before a meal.

The kitten twitched its ears twice, tilted its neck, glanced at Huang Dongliang and Su Mu, and then lay back down.

Su Mu even heard a sigh, causing his belly to move twice.

The hind legs have been bandaged, and a black burn can be seen under the belly.

No wonder the cat didn't run away when he saw a stranger. He probably couldn't run away and had to give up treatment.

Thinking about it from this perspective, the little black cat is quite interesting.

Judging from the cat's injuries, it was not life-threatening, which was quite in line with Su Mu's experimental goals.

You must know that the speed of bullets coming out of the barrel is extremely alarming, and being able to survive after being rubbed on the belly only shows that this cat is really lucky.

There is no need to worry about cutting the belly, because under the high temperature, the wound will solidify and bond instantly.

"Cao Weiwei also applied medicine, and she also bandaged it."

"Haha, I'm just telling you, what kind of gentleman is so carefree that he even tied a bow..."

Su Mu took over the sick kitten and brought it to his office.

In the "Tao Jing" I read before, the first volume is the Nine Turns of Alchemy, which is also the "Taoist Cultivation Picture" that Su Mu also heard about in the previous life. The middle volume is nine chapters, expounding the natural laws of the universe, and experiencing the void through self-cultivation. The real content, Su Mu liked the annotations.

About health care and breathing.

The earliest annotation is from the Western Jin Dynasty, and the last annotation is from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

There is an interesting article recorded on the back of the title page of the second volume, called "The Art of Subjugating Beasts".

The signature is the transcript of a person named ‘Qiao Qingxiao’.

The author calls himself an "old Taoist" and is obviously a member of the Taoist sect, but he is somewhat dismissive of his self-deprecating remarks about reaching the age of 404.

But it was this person who ended up in the annotation.

Let’s look at the date after the inscription of the ‘Shuuju Shu’, and guess that it was probably during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty…

It's probably just a little trick to confuse outsiders.

But the content of "Beast Taming Technique" was quite interesting, concise and clear, and accompanied by the seven-character mantra, Su Mu couldn't help but want to try it out.

It doesn't fit in the space.

My summoned beasts are mentally connected and cannot be tested.

The remaining ones, to be honest, the sumac was used as meal preparation ingredients. If it really works again, will you eat it in the end or not?

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were not allowed to become spirits. I had already made exceptions here several times, so there was no need to create another one myself.

Even if you are manufacturing it, you cannot make it from your own ingredients.

If you know better in the future and see yourself eating the same kind of food every day, what will you think?

I happened to meet an unlucky little country kitten, who was the experimental subject?

The world is like this.

The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimps. As for the shrimps, they can only cry.

Su Mu himself was a researcher in an experimental base, so he used a kitten for research so that it could feel the same way.

Maybe you will also feel that it has a different flavor.

Su Mu didn't go to the back row anymore, and the beast-managing technique also required preparations.

Uncle Wang’s Bagua fire is burning.

Standing at the door and waving to Huang Dongliang.

"Here, Xiao Huangqian, come... Director Su, did you take the kitten away?"

"Well, I moved his office. What's wrong? Uncle Wang?"

"Hehe, didn't you see it? Your kid has such a big head."

Uncle Wang shook his head and turned around and entered the room with a clear look.

Huang Dongliang also chased after him with a smile.

"What? Director Su wants to talk to Cao Weiwei...?"

After Uncle Wang explained, Huang Dongliang seemed to have an epiphany. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "No wonder he is the director. This twist and turn is really powerful. If it were me, I would never have thought of this method. What is it called? What is called a curve to save the country?"

Well, Su Mu himself didn’t expect it.

……

After a busy day, Yu Li returned home from get off work, and Yu Haitang had already returned before her.

The steel rolling mill is closer to the courtyard than her unit.

When I got home, I started cooking.

Yu Li's dilapidated house is either without pots and pans, or the fire has never been turned on.

Now that her sister is here, Yu Li not only has good reasons, but her mentality has also changed.

While sorting out the vegetables Yu Haitang bought, I listened to my sister talk about the "entertainment" that happened one after another yesterday.

While Yu Li felt calm, she was also quite emotional.

"Haitang, you are really capable. You have only been here for a day and you have already become the center of attention in the courtyard."

"Of course. Not to mention in the courtyard, even in the factory, I am still a powerful figure."

Yu Haitang smiled triumphantly.

She specially bought white flour and was steaming steamed buns in the basin.

"Stop being such a bastard, who do you think you prefer?"

Yu Li is still thinking about whether to mention sumu again.

"I didn't think about it. Xu Damao is highly educated and has more in common with me. Silly Zhu, what Yu Yu said is quite right."

Xu Damao's efforts yesterday were not without reward.

Although when cooking the mutton, Xu Damao said that it would be a waste if Yu Haitang married Sha Zhu.

But Yu Haitang really didn't take Xu Damao's words to heart.

On the contrary, what He Yuyu said caught her ears.

However, Xu Damao's economic conditions are indeed good, and this is what Yu Haitang sees and believes.

Shopping, shopping and eating are also quite luxurious, and life is very interesting.

This is one aspect where Yu Haitang prefers Xu Damao.

Of course, this way of thinking cannot be told to my sister who has become more traditional.

Yu Haitang still has some savvy.

"Then...Su Mu, you won't consider it at all?"

"Sister, I haven't asked you yet, how can you find a cripple for your sister?"

Yu Li was startled.

"Who told you? My leg was injured, and it's not going well now."

"Forget it, let's not think about it. After all, these legs and feet have been injured. Even if you can't see it now, who knows what it will be like in a few years. Besides, such a shabby little house is not as big as yours. , how can you be willing to wrong your sister..."

Yu Li groaned twice and sighed.

He looks distressed, but he is actually happy.

It's just a show, just going with the flow.

"Come on, there's nothing we can do about you. What's going on with the second uncle? Do you really think about it?"

"Sister, what do you think of Liu Guangtian?"

Yu Haitang didn't answer, but asked a question.

"Don't marry anyone but Liu Guangtian. Their family's education is different. They are too ruthless and dark. It would be better to marry him than Xu Damao."

Yu Li said this with certainty.

"Maybe Damao is not married for the second time."

Yu Haitang asked deliberately.

"What about the second marriage? We don't have children either. If there are children, then you definitely can't choose him. Even if you choose, our parents won't agree."

"That's true."

"Choose between Shazhu and Xu Damao? Are you not considering Su Mu?"

Yu Li thought for a while and asked again.

"Oh, sister, please don't push your sister into the fire pit. Besides, what's wrong with this? I won't express my position easily. It's not a trivial matter. I have to wait and see and think about it carefully."

In fact, we need to continue to enjoy the atmosphere and feeling of being sought after by everyone.

Yu Haitang felt that his choice to join his sister was a wise decision.

It feels like I have abandoned Yang Weimin, my ex-boyfriend, and suddenly the world has become brighter.

Su Mu got off work and met Ran Qiuye at the entrance of the alley.

Ran Qiuye's eyes were red and swollen, thinking that she had cried just now.

I feel pity for you.

When he met Su Mu, he didn't pretend to be strong.

After chatting for a while, Ran Qiuye asked Su Mu.

"Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."

Ran Qiuye spoke for the first time, and Su Mu agreed.

He knew Ran Qiuye's character, and whenever she said this, she must have mustered a lot of courage.

The two biked to Jiaodaokou Nanjiutiao. The name was changed just last year, but everyone still calls it Chaodou Hutong.

There is a restaurant similar to Qianmen Tavern on the south side of the eastern section. Although it is not big, it has been around for a long time.

Su Mu has been here once or twice, and it seems that Ran Qiuye is a bit familiar with the road.

The two of them sat on the verandah in the southwest corner of the yard.

There were also several sets of tables and chairs in the yard. The southwest corner was a bit more secluded, so the two chose this spot.

"how are things?"

"It's pretty good. This class of students will graduate soon. I may go back to teaching first grade in the second half of the year."

Su Mu chatted with Ran Qiuye, and he also considered asking her if she had cried or what happened to her.

But I think it’s not appropriate.

After all, they are no longer the lovers they once were.

just...

Looking at what Ran Qiuye meant, it felt like he wanted to get back together again.

"Is Auntie okay?"

Ran Qiuye's interest suddenly dropped by three points: "My mother is still in good health, but after my father died, her personality became a little extreme..."

In the middle of the journey, Su Mu took advantage of going to the latrine to settle the bill.

A few dollars and some food stamps were nothing to him, but to Ran Qiuye, they might have some weight.

After all, today is different from the past. With a family like hers, she can't stop having troubles, and she will still be busy in the future.

The westernmost room in this small courtyard is a private room.

At this time, there were five people sitting inside, eating, drinking and having fun.

There are three of them that Su Mu would recognize immediately if he saw them.

Su Shengli, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian.

This was Liu Guangtian's first time participating in such a scene.

It was a long time ago for him to eat and drink with big fish and meat.

Yan Jiecheng came here to 'discuss' with Su Shengli.

It was about the job quota in the construction factory. He wanted to work it out with Su Shengli and give him part of it, and then let Yan Jiefang take over the work first and then pay it back gradually.

But before he could even mention it, he met Liu Guangtian.

I had to hold back what I wanted to say.

Because Su Shengli said, time waits for no one, either whoever grabs it gets it, or whoever pays the highest price gets it.

Yan Jiecheng could only avoid talking.

After drinking for three rounds, Yan Jiecheng went to the hut. When he came back, he accidentally passed by. When he turned around, he saw Sumu and Ran Qiuye on the west side of the verandah.

Ran Qiuye is his father's colleague, he knows it.

I had complained at first, why didn't I introduce Teacher Ran to him at the beginning...

Well, Yan Jiecheng really thinks too much.
