Chapter 45 I don’t know the sufferings of ordinary people There are more than a dozen households in the courtyard, with a population of more than 100.
Su Yingjun took Li Xiaolan and Su Mu around, first to the homes of the three men in charge of the compound, and then from the backyard to the front yard.
No need to say much, no need to even go inside and sit for a while.
Just grab a few pieces of candy and send them over, that's all the etiquette means.
At the deaf old lady's house in the backyard, Su Yingjun specially prepared pastries, century-old righteous fruit bread, the sweet and delicious kind.
The deaf old lady was so happy to smell it that her teeth were exposed.
"Well, it smells delicious. I love this sweet taste. Xiaojun and Mumu are interested..."
There was no one at Xu Damao's house next door, and Su Yingjun had already considered this.
Wrap a small paper bag with a thin hemp rope and hang it on the door handle of his house.
When Xu Damao comes home, he will be able to see it when he opens the door.
Come to the middle courtyard.
He Yuzhu had been waiting in the yard early.
He didn't know why he was happy. He was cheerful and greeted Su Yingjun with great enthusiasm.
Also standing next to him was Jia Dongxu.
The smile was a little reserved.
Obviously, Jia Dongxu and Su Yingjun were not very familiar.
Or maybe the two of them didn't interact that much before.
Jia Dongxu then saw Sumu.
Startled for a moment.
He always felt that he looked a little familiar to this younger brother of the Su family.
He Yuzhu had already stepped forward to greet him and took the candy paper bag generously.
"Brother Jun, I'll prepare two dishes another day and treat you to a drink. I've agreed."
"Okay, let's talk in advance so I can let Mu Mu prepare some hard food."
"Okay. Wood is fine. Now there are ways to get wild rabbits. Can I get some for my brother someday?"
Jia Dongxu next to him suddenly became confused.
The look he looked at Su Mu was complicated.
"Hey, there is no way. I just go to Niulan Mountain every week to pull drinks for the tavern, and I met a hunter..."
Su Mu caught a glimpse of Jia Dongxu's suspicion from the corner of his eye, but he still had to make amends.
He immediately pretended not to care and explained.
"Brother Dongxu, we will move here from now on. We will all be neighbors from now on. We need to take more care of each other."
Su Yingjun greeted Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu returned to normal and answered the conversation with a smile.
He took the candy and said in passing: "I'll buy some wine when Zhuzhu finishes the game."
Five families live in the middle courtyard.
He Yuzhu occupies the best main room alone, the kind with three rooms connected, which is very bright and spacious.
Although Su Mu didn't go in to take a look, there was no obstruction when he looked inside from the window.
It's just a little messy.
In the east wing, two rooms are occupied by the elder Yi Zhonghai and his wife. The north room has a single door and is occupied by He Yuzhu's sister He Yuyu.
I think it was because when the houses were divided according to the number of people, the houses were divided according to the number of people.
The Jia family has exclusive access to the west wing, and there is also another family in the front wing of the house.
Su Yingjun and the three of them all gave candies to each of them as a greeting.
There are two households in the east and west of the hall.
There are Su Mu and Chen Liu in the east household, and there are two in the west household. The Liu family is close to the hall. Mrs. Liu and Wang did not know what they were doing, leaving only two children playing at home.
"Liu Yuanyuan, Liu Ka-shing, where are your adults?"
Su Yingjun and Li Xiaolan didn't know them, but Su Mu had met these siblings many times in the past month or so.
"Going out. Do you have anything to do with them?"
Liu Yuanyuan has a relatively down-to-earth personality and dares to talk to strangers.
Maybe it has something to do with knowing Sumu.
"We are moving into the yard today, and we will be neighbors with your family. There are some candies here, bring them to your family, and we can be happy together..."
Su Mu took the candy bag from his sister-in-law and handed it to Liu Yuanyuan.
The little girl was a little embarrassed and at a loss.
"Put it away first. When your parents come back, just give it to them."
"Oh."
There were no adults at home, so the three of them walked out without much hesitation.
Su Yingjun took the lead and walked in at Chen Liu's house.
Although the two families were unhappy, strictly speaking, it was Su Yingjun's house that Chen Liu now lived in terms of face, it still has to be passable.
How the other party handles it is their business.
Su Yingjun felt that he and others should do what needed to be done first.
Face projects are sometimes necessary.
Mrs. Chen Liu didn't know what she was thinking. She lay on the bed and didn't get out of bed at all.
Chen Dakui was at home, receiving Su Yingjun.
He was also calling Brother Jun. I don’t know who I heard it from.
Su Mu guessed that it was Liu Guangqi and others who had talked about Su Yingjun's glorious history.
Anyway, Chen Dakui felt a little dizzy when he looked at Su Yingjun.
He took the candy bag and said thank you.
If Li Xiaolan hadn't stopped him, Chen Dakui would have poured water for the three of them and offered their seats.
After seeing each other for only a few days, Chen Dakui seemed a bit like a grown-up.
Perhaps the reason why he was reckless in the past was because his father took care of everything at home and he didn't need to worry about it.
But now, the backbone of the family has fallen and gone in.
As the man of the family, he has some responsibilities and things that he must bear.
Therefore, passive maturity.
Su Mu felt that Chen Dakui was making rapid progress.
But the two of them had been at odds for a long time, and they hadn't spoken to each other since that time. It couldn't be resolved suddenly and abruptly.
Before leaving, Chen Dakui and Su Mu nodded.
The scars on her face are obvious, and disfigurement does not mean plastic surgery.
When the corners of his mouth move, he looks slightly ferocious.
Add a sense of cruelty.
It has a similar meaning to the scar on Su Yingjun's face.
But compared to the other two, they still pale into insignificance.
After all, one is a tooth mark and the other is a knife wound.
Outside the hanging flower door, there is another family in the reverse room.
It's Uncle Zhang, the concierge of the scrap collection station.
There are three inverted rooms in the courtyard. The one on the east side is unused and has a lot of debris piled up.
Uncle Zhang lives alone in the middle room.
The reverse house on the west side is also vacant.
Because the inverted house is shady, it is quite uninhabitable.
Uncle Zhang was originally in a courtyard in another alley.
However, that large courtyard was not as regulated as this courtyard, and it was in disrepair.
Two consecutive heavy rains in the past two years caused the house to collapse, so the street office relocated it here.
It has only been three or two years since I moved here, and I am quite taciturn on weekdays.
Uncle Zhang is at home.
I am playing with a wooden box in my house.
Su Mu was the first to open the door and saw a corner of the box.
It feels like a library full of books.
It's not like the modern version.
The candy of this last household is given away.
The etiquette of Su Yingjun, Li Xiaolan and their younger brother Su Mu moving into the courtyard was completely settled.
back home.
In the living room of the east wing, three people gathered around the table and prepared to eat.
During their first meal in the courtyard, Su Yingjun specifically told Li Xiaolan not to be too high-profile.
Just two ordinary green vegetables, a plate of pickled vegetables, and steamed buns with noodles.
At most there is still half a pot of sweet potato porridge.
Li Xiaolan felt sorry for the two elders, fearing that they would not have enough to eat.
The porridge in the pot can stand upright on chopsticks.
Su Mu cursed in his heart.
Li Xiaolan, this sister-in-law, is really ignorant of the sufferings of the people.
You dare to cook stick noodles like this. If others see it, it will definitely not be considered low-key.
