Chapter 40 The fifth day of travel.
Sumu finally left his comfort zone.
Come back fully loaded.
After he left the mountainous area, he took a trip to Niulan Mountain.
Uncle Niu also produced a cellar of wine, and there was also a small workshop, and there was a lot of Sumu.
Most of them exist in their own space in a triple courtyard.
Still took the shuttle bus back to the capital.
By the time he came out of the alley again, he had regained his image as a tricycle rider.
Today is Wednesday.
Su Mu had no way of knowing Xiaoshi's situation because he didn't come back in time.
In fact, he didn't plan to go shopping this time.
That incident happened last week, so we need to ease up on it no matter what.
After all, most people go there to make a living, and Sumu goes there to make a profit.
The goals are different, so some people can give up at will, while some people, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, have to bite the bullet and go for it.
Return home to the military compound.
The house is very warm, and there are women at home, but it is different from the two old men who are away from home all day long.
Sister-in-law Li Xiaolan seems to have a carefree personality, but she is still good at running a household.
"My little brother is back. I haven't tanned much since I've been out for the past few days. Are you hungry? I'll bring you some noodles..."
"I'm not hungry yet. Come back and change clothes. I have to go out soon."
"You ran out as soon as you came back, so you can't just rest for a while."
"Hey, it's not Wednesday anymore."
Sumu will deliver wine to the tavern on Wednesday, which is something the whole family knows.
"Your elder brother has no errands tonight. He will be back after work. You should also come back early and wait for us to have dinner together."
"Hey, great. What's something delicious to eat tonight?"
What can be delicious.
"The documents were issued last week, and the meat supply in the city has also been reduced. The compound has also been affected. It is estimated that there will not be many opportunities to eat meat in the second half of the year."
To tell the truth from the perspective of appetite, Li Xiaolan is a strong woman who is not inferior to men.
Maybe it has something to do with her family background.
The characteristics that have been cultivated since childhood are that they are both fond of meat and not fond of pleasure.
Although eating glutinous rice is not a problem, eating meat and drinking alcohol is still the life she longs for most.
"It's not a coincidence."
Su Mu slapped his forehead, pretended to just remember, turned around and ran downstairs.
Li Xiaolan also reacted and ran downstairs with an ahhhhhhhhh.
At the entrance of the corridor, a fat man was sitting on Su Mu's cart, shaking the handlebars desperately.
If the short legs were not long enough, the tricycle could be kicked away directly.
"Little fat man, you are messing with me here again."
Since the last time the little fat man and his father had a banquet at home, the little fat man and Su Mu didn't see each other much.
"Humph, you must be stingy."
The little fat man grumbled, but he refused to get off the cart.
The degree of cracking the handlebar is much smaller.
Obviously still a little restrained.
Su Mu opened the horizontal board and pretended to pull out two gray rabbits from underneath.
In fact, it was lifted out of space.
The little fat man's neck was almost broken. His eyes were staring at Su Mu's hand, and his Adam's apple began to twitch.
"Hey, little brother, where did you get it? How many kilograms does it cost?"
No matter how fat a rabbit is, it only weighs two to three pounds.
After packing it up, there wasn't much left.
But now that the supply of meat is almost out, these two gray rabbits are like delicacies.
Li Xiaolan just screamed strangely and ran down, guessing that her younger brother must have brought something good.
How shrewd she of being seen by others, he ran over to beat the autumn wind.
The relationship between a military compound and ordinary neighbors is different.
Especially those who are familiar with Su Chuanbai and Lao Li's family, if they smell the smell of meat, they will definitely bring their own wine and dry food to eat.
Food is provided, and you can bring your own drinks. The main purpose is to have a tooth-beating ceremony to make it lively.
"Triumph, don't talk nonsense."
Just as the little fat man was about to say something, he was silenced by Li Xiaolan's scolding.
Su Mu saw that his sister-in-law had one hand on her hips and the other hand was holding two rabbits that she had snatched from him. She could also point her index finger at the little fat man, and scolded her with raised eyebrows.
There really is no delay anywhere.
How fast does one have to think in order to take into account all these factors?
The little fat man succumbed to the 'power' of the eldest sister of the old girls' group in the compound and closed his mouth, but his fat face turned red from suppressing it.
"Come over during dinner and I'll give you half a bowl."
When Li Xiaolan saw the little fat man coming up, he immediately changed his expression and arranged fiercely.
"Hey, thank you sister Xiaolan, you are the best."
The little fat man was immediately happy.
Li Xiaolan turned around and walked towards the corridor.
I was holding the rabbit in my hand in front of everyone. If I was seen by others again, I would have to eat less meat. I would feel bad.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Su Mu a hard look.
If he hadn't forgotten to carry the meat up immediately, there would be no need to stuff the little fat man's mouth with braised rabbit meat.
"Hurry down, I have to go out to work."
"Would you like me to help you? I have the strength and can help you carry your things."
The little fat man may also be a little bit obsessed with getting rewarded for nothing. As he spoke, he flashed his biceps.
But apart from the plump flesh, Su Mu didn't see any bulging muscles.
Compared with the muscles hidden in his clothes now, they are like ants and elephants.
However, the little fat man's character is still worthy of praise.
At least not with that kind of heart.
"Come on, let's go play. I can do it by myself this time. If I need help in the future, I'll call you."
For children, do not refuse directly, let alone show disdain in your tone and expression.
Children are all sensitive, and they should be affirmed in a timely manner so as to guide them in a good direction.
"Okay, then remember to call me. If that's not enough, I'll call Commander Hu again, even though he's not as strong as me..."
"understood."
The little brat who opens and shuts his mouth is the commander. This kind of nickname can only be used as a joke among the cadres and children in the army compound.
When I get older, I will change it.
Nowadays, children don’t quite understand the shame in this aspect, so they can talk nonsense.
Su Mu rode to Qianmen Bistro.
I had told Manager Cai in advance that I would go out for a few days under the pretense, so I would grab a drink on the way back and save myself from pedaling from the city. It would not be a logical mistake to come back earlier.
"Su Mu, you don't have to work so hard. You have to keep some for yourself. If you meet a girl you like, treat her to a movie or something. You can't make enough money. Life is not just about making money."
Manager Cai thought that Su Mu worked hard to make money and used it all to pay off debts.
Although it is a good thing for him to recover his capital faster.
But his current family background really does not lack this.
On the contrary, he admired this young man Su Mu very much, as if he saw himself in his earlier years.
I purposely enlighten him, and I sincerely want to take care of him.
"It's okay, Brother Cai, I'm still young. With the current market situation, things will get better after the New Year."
"Yes, after the New Year, I will be more hopeful."
Having said that, Manager Cai's expression was slightly solemn.
The city's supply of grain, non-staple food, and meat is stretched thin.
This is not a good sign.
