Chapter 46 Yan Bugui is interested again
later.
The courtyard gradually became lively.
Su Yingjun was wearing a vest and large pants, holding a cigarette in his mouth and chatting with Jia Dongxu, Yan Jiecheng, and He Yuzhu in the yard.
Li Xiaolan also went to the Intermediate Courtyard and became familiar with the Jia family's daughter-in-law.
After all, they are all women, little wives living at home.
Li Xiaolan also wants to adapt to the life of an ordinary family in a courtyard as soon as possible.
Su Mu didn't go out.
He went straight back to his room after dinner in the evening.
The noise and excitement outside could not break Su Mu's mood at this time.
Despite the chaos in the outside world, Su Mu felt calm and peaceful inside.
Lying on the bed, he slowly fell asleep.
This was his first night staying in the courtyard.
With the beautiful view of the starry sky, Su Mu fell into a deep sleep.
And Li Xiaolan, who had returned to the east wing of Jia's house to "study lessons", was lying on the bed and chatting animatedly with Su Yingjun.
Not at all sleepy.
"Yingjun, do you know that the stick noodle porridge cooked by other people is so watery, I wish I could see the bottom of the bowl at a glance..."
"Qin Huairu of the Jia family is quite good at getting things done, and the furnishings in her home are also good. I even saw a sewing machine in her home."
"Have Jia Dongxu been familiar with you before? It feels like you two are a bit unfamiliar when talking..."
"By the way, I saw two big boxes in Jia's house, filled with books. No wonder Jia Dongxu is a technical trainee. Yingjun, do you know what's going on with the technical trainees now?"
Li Xiaolan, who first entered the courtyard house, felt that everything was strange.
It was only the first night that she came into contact with Jia Dongxu's family.
Looking at his spirit and attitude, it will take a while for the eldest brother Su Yingjun's "ordeal" to be resolved.
Jia family.
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were also talking about Su Yingjun's family moving here.
There have been no new residents in the yard for more than a year.
It will almost never be possible again.
Because before 58, immigrants and returning permanent residents in the capital were allocated and resettled on a per-capita basis.
Later, various compounds were established one after another, including military compounds, air force compounds, foreign trade compounds, etc...
A group of people were moved away and a group of new people were added.
Many professionals and highly educated people have been assigned to live in buildings.
The large courtyards converted from courtyard houses like this are almost full of residents.
Even if they are dissatisfied with their housing, they will work with the street office to adjust the housing for residents like Uncle Zhang who have fallen into disrepair and have collapsed over time.
The house where Su Mu lives, including the place where Chen Liu lives, are all Su Yingjun's places.
It was also due to the fact that he came back too late, and the elders in his family had a private house in this compound.
It was Director Wang who specially helped to 'adjust' it.
Basically the last new resident family.
Therefore, Su Yingjun and his family moved in today, which must be the talk of every household after dinner.
What's more, Su Yingjun lived here before, and now that he's back and working as a police officer in the Public Security Bureau, how can he not be discussed? Jia Dongxu felt a little dazed when he saw Su Mu at noon.
After dinner in the evening, Li Xiaolan came over to chat with Qin Huairu. Jia Dongxu had an idea and asked Qin Huairu to help inquire about Su Mu's current livelihood.
"I've asked them all."
Qin Huairu reported to Jia Dongxu in a low voice: "Su Mu now goes to the street every day to pull goods. The cart to the south of them belongs to him. Su Mu bought it with others in many installments, and he has to pay interest every month."
"Have you ever asked if that boy often travels to the suburbs outside the city?"
"I also asked. I go to Niulan Mountain every week. I leave early in the morning and don't come back until eight or nine in the evening. It is said that I am delivering wine to a tavern at the front door. The trolley is the tavern's original delivery vehicle. What's for him..."
"It's not easy for Su Mu to be a child. Now I have some hope..."
Jia Dongxu was relieved.
Since it's not Sumu, there's nothing to worry about.
Jia Dongxu also knew about Sumu's situation before.
But he didn't have much interaction with Su Su Shengli always liked to chase Jia Dongxu to buy him food and drinks, it was just a group of people getting together to chat.
To say it was a particularly deep friendship, it wasn't really a friendship.
"Master, Xiaolan said that Su Mu can also get wild rabbits from outside. Do you think we should let him help too?"
"Hmm...have you asked about the price?"
"She doesn't know either. She just said it casually. I thought I'd ask your opinion first, so I didn't take the initiative to ask."
"Stop asking."
Jia Dongxu thought for a moment.
"After all, hares are secondary. I told the other party last time, don't lose big for the small, it's serious to be able to buy white flour and a lot of in-demand supplies. A few wild rabbits, how expensive can they be, and how cheap can they be? ah."
"Well, that's what I said. I will listen to you, the boss..."
The next day.
Su Mu woke up early in the morning, went downstairs to wash up, opened the door and walked out of the house.
It was just dawn.
In most homes, women came out to light the briquette stove. They probably went back inside to wash up after lighting the stove.
no one.
Sumu, this is quite early.
But in the west wing opposite, Uncle Yan, the third uncle of the family, was already squatting at the door of the room, wiping the cross beam of the car with a piece of gray linen cloth.
"Uncle Yan, good morning."
Su Mu took the initiative to greet Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui happened to turn around when he heard the noise.
A frilly smile immediately appeared on his face.
"You're quite early too. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. The day's plan begins in the morning..."
A lot of old-fashioned literary nonsense.
Su Mu even regretted taking the initiative to say hello to this old man.
"Okay, I've been chattering so early in the morning, wood, come over and have some together, your brother doesn't seem to have lit the stove yet..."
"No, third aunt, I'm going to cook."
After saying hello, Su Mu took the opportunity to retreat quickly.
He was fed up with Yan Bugui's profanity.
In the past, it may be that he looked down on the shack he built and felt that there was no future, so he was too lazy to talk to him.
The present is very different from the past.
Not only does the person have a future, but he also has legs to hug.
As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
Yan Bugui is good at calculating, how could he not take the opportunity to ease and bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
Su Mu also knew that the so-called invitation to dinner was just the courtesy between neighbors.
It would be embarrassing if you took it seriously.
It's just a matter of face.
The two families chatted peacefully, then each went home, closed the door, and ate their own food.
In extraordinary times, no one’s food comes from strong winds.
It's in short supply.
Yan family.
"Lao Yan, have you heard that the Jia family in the Central Court seems to have channels to get food..."
The old couple of Yanbu and several children sat together. The children wolfed down the thin porridge and nibbled on the steamed buns with Erhe noodles.
The third aunt suddenly said to Yan Bugui.
As soon as he finished speaking, the children's ears pricked up.
"Eat. What are you thinking about? Stop asking about other people's affairs."
Do you really don't want to ask?
Yan Bugui wondered if there was a way to replace the fine grains with coarse grains, so that he could get a few more kilograms of grain and be able to survive for several days.
