Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 174 Trivial matters of group worship
Qin Huairu returned home on the back seat of a Sumu bicycle.

This is the first time Sumou Mu took someone in the back seat.

When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Qin Huairu jumped out of the car, turned around and helped Su Mu push into the golden pillar gate.

It's like the third uncle Yan Bugui flatteringly helped Xu Damao carry the car in the morning.

Same tune with the same effect.

At this time, Qin Huairu felt quite warm.

Using the few words she has at her disposal to describe it, it feels like a 'blessing in disguise'.

Pushing the car around the screen wall, I happened to bump into Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li who were immersed in unloading the mattress on the car seat.

When he saw Su Mu pushing the cart and Qin Huairu following behind, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Su Mu nodded with Yu Li and pushed directly into the hanging flower door.

Qin Huairu, on the other hand, spoke to Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng as a couple.

Yu Li was brought back by Yan Jie as a beggar.

Don't look at Yan Jiecheng yelling in front of outsiders.

But at Yuli's house, they were handled submissively.

Moreover, Yan Jiecheng may be a petty-minded person, but if he closes the door at his father-in-law's house and there are no outsiders, he would be really... shameless.

The eldest men swore and knelt down, but finally the mother-in-law relented and pushed the eldest daughter out of the house.

Today and tomorrow I will celebrate the New Year with my parents-in-law in the courtyard. My uncle from the second grade of junior high school will come to visit, and they will entertain me again.

In the yard, the voices of Third Aunt and Su Mu came to say hello.

Yu Li's conversation suddenly cooled down.

Qin Huairu felt like a mirror.

It seemed that it was a problem with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Yu Li was picked up by Boss Yan when she went back.

However, Qin Huairu didn't care about other people's family affairs, and she couldn't get involved in such family matters.

into the yard.

I saw Su Mu waiting with his bicycle.

Qin Huairu felt quite complicated and a little moved.

It coincided with the first time he expressed his attitude after listening to Deputy Director Li's thoughts about her.

"From now on, I will cover you."

The third aunt is collecting water at the faucet.

Qin Huairu came to the door of Su Mu's house and took a large piece of pork and at least 20 kilograms of white flour bag from him.

The two of them didn't say anything. Qin Huairu entered the hall with her lips pursed, carrying something in both hands and a bag on her left arm.

The three mothers were stunned.

The water in the basin overflowed without even noticing.

She clearly saw Qin Huairu smiling at the corners of her eyes and mouth.

These two...

What a big melon.

The third aunt immediately felt as if the soles of her feet were on fire.

I looked down and saw that the basin was full of water. I held it with both hands and ran towards the house.

After taking two steps, he remembered, turned around and turned off the faucet again.

"Old man, old man..."

After entering the house, the third aunt immediately burst into a state of unhappiness.

The half-minute in the yard just now made her choked up.

Su Mu locked the bicycle, opened the cotton curtain and returned to the house.

Deputy Director Li of the steel rolling mill...

This person, he came back to inquire.

……

Qin Huairu walked through the hall and stopped by the rabbit cage. After taking two deep breaths, she suppressed the smile on her face and went into the house.

After walking backwards and pushing open the cotton curtain and the door with her back, Qin Huairu turned around, and the noodles and meat she was carrying were seen by Jia Zhang and her two daughters in the room.

They gathered around unconsciously.

"Where do all these things come from?"

Jia Zhang was surprised and happy.

"It's Chinese New Year, can you have a good New Year this time?"

Qin Huairu did not respond directly to Jia Zhang, but put the things in her hands on the table and said in a calm tone.

However, Mrs. Jia Zhang was stunned to hear from the tone of her voice that Qin Huairu's daughter-in-law was a bit sarcastic and mocking.

"Is it Sumu...?"

"Besides him, who else do you think is so generous? He gave our family so many good things to celebrate the New Year..."

Qin Huairu turned around and went to wash her hands at the door, subconsciously pinching a wad of money in her pocket.

Given by Sumu.

20 yuan.

He said that he would give himself to He Yuzhu.

Don't take advantage of this, just treat it as if he bought it for yourself.

He will figure out how to deal with the follow-up matters after the New Year.

Although I didn't know how Su Mu could handle it, I felt very satisfied after hearing what he said.

Is this money...

Qin Huairu could just give He Yuzhu ten yuan in total.

There is no need to compensate yourself according to the price of noodles and food stamps.

I was even crying. I couldn't let Deputy Director Li take advantage of me in vain.

It's not He Yuzhu's.

Moreover, He Yuzhu begged himself to help him explain to Teacher Ran.

She made up her mind.

If he took it later, He Yuzhu refused, saying no, and he wouldn't force it.

But let’s be clear.

I asked him to buy the meat and noodles for me.

The squad leader in the kitchen has some channels to speak of.

Anyway, it’s just to deal with the rhetoric of outsiders.

And Qin Huairu is not afraid of being exposed.

Because after what happened to He Yuzhu, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Su Mu was superficial.

It's embarrassing to stay there for a long time.

It's strange to feel so energetic.

Besides, maybe the two brothers He Yuzhu and Yuyu are still awkward at this moment.

Because of the rumors about He Yuzhu stealing chickens, stealing tires, and slandering Xu Damao...

He Yuyu's new partner's family is quite dissatisfied with her family.

The wedding was originally scheduled for the Spring Festival, but now it has been postponed.

As for when it will be postponed...

The date of the mama’s boy was not revealed.

He has to listen to his parents' decision at home.

Yuyu was affected by He Yuzhu's reputation.

How can I have time to think about sumu?

Maybe Su Mu's analysis makes sense.

Today, He Yuzhu violently beat up Deputy Director Li. His own affairs were the trigger, and He Yuzhu had been unhappy these past few days.

Jia Zhang's excited voice came from behind: "That's a lot of meat, save your money, it's enough for us to last for three months..."

"Hurry, kids, grandma chopped it up and froze it..."

Jia Zhang went to work with the meat.

The so-called freezing means to cut it and bury it in the snow. The weather in Sijiucheng is so cold that it will freeze into ice lumps in a short time.

"There are also two boxes of meat and vegetables. They will be heated up later for dinner that year..."

He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai paid one yuan each for the dumpling fillings in the evening.

Jia Zhang had no intention of eating these ten pounds of meat today.

Qin Huairu originally thought about leaving a piece of it, but then she thought about it and let it go.

There is no need to be so extravagant and wasteful.

On the way just now, Qin Huairu also told Su Mu that the four families would eat together in the evening.

Su Mu also said that he would go back to the compound to celebrate the New Year.

There is no need to tell Qin Huairu about going to Xijixiang Hutong.

Even if the size was measured, it was not enough to make Su Mu completely open his heart to this girl.

backyard.

When Yi Zhonghai passed by Xu Damao's house, he heard that the couple was quarreling again.

He pursed his lips without saying anything and walked straight over.

Yi Zhonghai despised Xu Damao's behavior and character.

The food looks too ugly.

Came to the deaf old lady's house.

The old lady has changed into a new dark brown dress and is looking beautiful in front of the mirror.

"Old lady, I want to discuss something with you. Let's go to Huairu's house for New Year's Eve dinner tonight. Do you think it's okay?"

The deaf old lady looked senile, but she was not confused at all.After a little thought, I understood what Yi Zhonghai meant.

"Okay, leave the leftovers to their family. Their family is large."

"Come, old lady, I'll carry you there."

Yi Zhonghai said, turning around and squatting down.

The deaf old lady waved her hand: "No, no, my legs and feet are almost better, and the sprained areas are lighter. I just want to be carried by Silly Zhu."

With that said, the old lady took the crutch.

"Okay, then I'll help you over."

As soon as he went out, He Yuzhu ran over.

This guy has also changed into a new suit, navy blue, and looks very energetic.

When the deaf old lady saw He Yuzhu, she complained that her legs and feet hurt.

He Yuzhu didn't take it seriously and simply carried the old lady on his back skillfully and went straight to Sister Qin Huairu's house in the middle courtyard.

When he came just now, the aunt had already gone to help, and she sent him over to ask the old lady to come over.

Four families celebrating the New Year together means that the people are prosperous and lively.

The yard was full of children from various families chasing and playing, and the sound of small whips kept coming and going.

A group of people in the middle courtyard were busy and having fun. The three children, led by Banggan, were all waiting to receive red envelopes for the old lady to pay New Year greetings later.

When they heard about the red envelope, the three children were very excited and started rehearsing in advance.

forecourt.

The Yan family, a family of seven, gathered together in the west wing to listen to cross talk on the radio.

At least on the surface, it seems enjoyable.

There is an enamel basin in front of Yan Bugui, and in it is the 'moisturizing pen' for writing couplets during the day.

A small half pot of peanuts.

The children watched eagerly, waiting for their parents to share the peanuts.

Even Yan Jiecheng, who is married, is eager to see through it.

In this era, the supply of melon seeds and peanuts is limited, and you can only eat them two or three times a year, and there are only three melons and two dates.

They are all greedy.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong's home.

Also listening to the radio.

But unlike Yan Bugui's family who listened to cross talk, he listened to the news.

Even if his three sons disdain him, he doesn't care.

Liu Guangqi also came back for the New Year, with his wife and a girl who could already sit in his father's arms, pick dumplings with chopsticks and stuff them into her mouth.

Even if it’s Xu Damao’s house in the backyard.

Even if the couple quarrels with Lou Xiao'e, they still have back and forth, at least there is someone to quarrel with.

There is only the east wing of the hematoxylin in the front yard.

It looked very deserted.

At this time, Su Mu was sitting quietly in front of the fire, eating dumplings stuffed with chives and meat.

This was packed together when he and his comrades were resting in the Northeast.

At this moment, he is not Sumu, but a tiger.

Remembering the tiger who had a surprisingly high mission rate in the prosperous years and made the enemy frightened.

A glass of wine is a tribute to the fallen comrades, and a glass of wine is a tribute to the military life.

I have already said hello to Aunt Li and Chen Xueru.

He eats the New Year's Eve dinner at home.

After dinner, we went to Xijixiang Alley to watch with them.

There is a high probability that Su Mu and Chen Xueru are keeping watch.

Aunt Li couldn't hold on for that long, so she went back to sleep as soon as she wanted to.

……

first day.

When Su Mu woke up, the sun outside the house was already very high.

Sunlight pours in through the gaps in the curtains and shines on the edge of the bed, making the rosewood furniture more revealing of its historical depth.

There was a sleeping beauty breathing softly beside the pillow, and she pressed her delicate face against her armpit.

As Su Mu held her in his arms, he made a lazy and charming nasal sound.

This is definitely a crime of temptation.

"Good morning, Sister Xueru."

Su Mu probed her head, tapped her red lips, and gave Chen Xueru a good morning kiss.

"Hey, what time is it?"

Chen Xueru came to her senses and sat up suddenly.

New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Chen Xueru had no other relatives in the capital, so she went to pay homage to her godmother.

However, the sun is already so high, so I feel a little anxious.

Su Mu was also urged to get up.

After all, the mistress personally promised that she would be the "big wife of the Su family", so she should not be too lazy and should set an example.

You know, this is only the first year.

The old lady actually got up early.

When he heard the movement in the east room, he smiled again and returned to the second courtyard.

Yesterday, they were keeping vigil again, and they were so excited because they were celebrating the New Year together for the first time.

The young couple is in love and deserves forgiveness.

Aunt Li has spent half her life in the palace and half her life outside. She has never seen anything like this.

She has been around for almost a hundred years, and now her thoughts are more fashionable than many young people.

Well, maybe I shouldn’t say it’s trendy.

But be open-minded.

After celebrating the New Year, the reorganized family of three had a reunion dinner that I don’t know if it can be considered as morning.

Everyone will be busy.

Chen Xueru wants to go to her friend's place.

It was the same in previous years, and this year is no exception.

After all, there is an elder in the family, and if the two women get together to taste something, they can smell the omens of the coming year, and they can guess about [-]% or [-]% of it.

Although Su Mu didn't understand the world, he still knew its general direction and some important years.

The wind started to pick up, so he naturally didn't hesitate to remind him.

So Chen Xueru has to move around.

What's more, shopkeeper Xu has now taken up the post of director of the neighborhood committee in Qianmen Street.

The biggest vested interest in the Fan Jinyou incident is none other than Shopkeeper Xu.

Master Pian'er got his house as he wished, and he was appointed as the director of the neighborhood committee.

Best friends have become immediate stakeholders in the turmoil of the future.

Chen Xueru is going to visit.

But I can’t take Sumu with me.

Even though Shopkeeper Xu knew very well about his relationship with Su Mu.

But for the Chinese New Year, this is a principle and cannot be broken.

At least it shouldn't be exposed at this time and in this way.

Aunt Li waited for Quan Yingzi and her brother Huzi to pay New Year greetings.

The distance is close, and it’s related...

There are no old people left in Yingzi.

The stubborn old head is gone, and Aunt Li's life is much better than before.

Sure enough, blessed people are not busy, while unlucky people are heartbroken.

A true portrayal.

Su Mu rode back to the compound.

Just after passing through the hanging flower gate, I saw a large group of people bustling around the empty space in the front yard.

"What's going on here?"

Su Mu asked casually.

"In the future, our courtyard will have something called a group worship, where everyone gathers together to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Children from various families in the province go door to door. You don't know that last year, the XXX family and the XX family almost got into a fight over the New Year's money... "

Aunt Wang of the Liu Wang family in the west wing of the hall was chewing melon seeds while enthusiastically explaining to Su Mu.

"Oh, then just wait here?"

Su Mu thought for a moment, put down his bicycle, and there were already many people standing there. It was too hard to push it to the door of his house, so he left it here until the whole hospital group worship meeting was over, and then went back.

"You go ahead and grab a handful of melon seeds in the dustpan. You can share it with everyone. I think this is pretty good. It's more valuable than giving your children New Year's money..."

Su Mu didn’t go.

He didn't know about it at all.

Moreover, no one wanted to recruit him.

It’s okay not to eat these melon seeds.

I felt a sense of being excluded.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes.
