Chapter 51 Picking up jobs at the train station
Friday.
Su Mu was busy all morning. He passed by the Beijing Railway Station at noon and stopped for a few bites of food.
Soothe your hungry belly.
Since the physical mutation, Su Mu felt that his appetite had increased a lot.
The frequency of hunger is also faster than in the past.
These Sumu can understand it.
The law of conservation of energy.
It's just the price of being different.
It's just that at this time, increasing the frequency of hunger makes Sumu look a little stretched.
It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that it’s inconvenient to eat.
A bowl of stewed stew and two plain braised dishes.
Sumu wolfed it down.
It won't work if it doesn't happen faster.
The whole morning's hauling of goods was actually an order received by the crane company, and dozens of pallet trucks were dispatched at the same time.
It's always not a good idea for people who have known her in the past to see Su Mu being so 'extravagant'.
It doesn’t match Su Mu’s past persona.
"Master, can I go to the Dongcheng Library?"
Just as Su Mu was about to get in the car, a gentle southern accent came from behind.
Turned.
I saw what looked like a family of three.
The man wears glasses and has a short crew cut. He looks energetic and elegant.
There is a mother and daughter behind. The daughter looks to be in her teens. She is wearing a white floral braji...
Well, now we can’t call it Braji, we have to say the transliteration word, dress.
There were two large wooden boxes at their feet, which looked quite big and heavy.
"Thirty-five."
Su Mu had no choice but to accept her life before her eyes.
I casually quoted a similar price.
"I'll give you fifty cents and take us with you, okay?"
The man's attitude was very sincere, and his wife and daughter next to him also looked over, their eyes almost overflowing with desire.
Su Mu suddenly softened his heart.
In fact, he has to ride back and continue to participate in the sales.
He just couldn't help being hungry and sneaked over to desert.
"alright."
Mainly because of the expectant look in the girl's eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
Sumu had this old problem in his previous life.
He doesn't know how to refuse the pleas of beautiful girls.
Back then, we suffered a lot because of this weakness.
So far, he has not changed despite repeated admonitions.
Su Mu got out of the car, went around and carried the two boxes onto the cart, clapped his hands, and flicked the ash that was full of dust that could not be removed.
"Young man is really strong."
"Hey, all I do every day is carry bags and haul groceries, and I've learned to practice even if I don't have any energy."
"Persistent exercise can make even the weakest body strong, just like practice makes perfect."
Su Mu seemed to see young Yan Bugui for a moment.
Fortunately, the man stopped and did not continue talking.
Su Mu placed two half-person-high wooden boxes side by side at the back, so that the family of three could sit on them.
Although the length is a bit narrow, you can still sit down if you squeeze it.
"Qiuye, let your mother go up first, and then help you sit down..."
Oh, that beautiful girl’s name is Qiuye.
In the end, only the mother and daughter were in the car, and the man was sitting crookedly on the right edge of the tricycle.
"Lao Ran, be careful..."
Well, my surname is Ran and my name is Qiuye.
Names are as beautiful as in the capital love to talk about riding, and Sumu is no less generous.
The premise is that he meets the person he wants to talk about.
I have been run over by my eldest brother and sister-in-law several times in the past two days, which may be the reason why I pay more attention to the affairs between men and women.
In fact, Su Mu himself knew that he was only 16 years old, which was still far from the legal age for marriage.
Moreover, the situation has become more serious in the past two months. I heard that there are victims from Shanxi, Shandong, and Sichuan who have fled all the way in the surrounding suburbs of Beijing.
People of all ages starved to death on the road.
For people in the city, the proportion of fine grains and coarse grains has been adjusted again, and the supply of meat and eggs has been completely stopped except for special groups.
Yesterday, I heard Xu Damao from the movie club in the backyard complain that it took several meat tickets to exchange for a can of canned meat.
Now the capital has used expired canned meat to offset meat stamps.
People are in panic, so who wouldn’t be cautious about such a big thing as adding children?
There were three more people and two large wooden boxes behind the tricycle. For Sumu, it was just the beginning of the tricycle that required a little more effort.
Once the car started running, it wasn't that strenuous.
"Our family came from the south, and we settled down in the capital."
We talked all the way, although most of them were Mr. Ran asking Su Mu some common sense questions about life in the capital.
But just a few playful rhetorical questions allowed Su Mu to get the information he wanted.
This family is from the south, and Mr. Ran drank foreign ink for several years in the early years.
I was transferred to Dongcheng Library to work.
The Dongcheng District Library is located near Jiaodaokou East Street. When the trolley arrived at the door of the library, there was already a middle-aged man in a white shirt, trousers, three-jointed black leather shoes, waiting for him.
It seems that Mr. Ran is quite respected and valued.
"Young man, please do your best and send your luggage to Xiangyi Alley."
Perhaps it was also because of the large luggage of the Ran family that the middle-aged man simply thought of continuing to trouble Su Mu.
He is a very flexible person.
Definitely not a leader, more like a secretary or assistant.
"Little brother, if I add another 1 cents to you, you will suffer again."
"Okay. Then... come up."
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not. Sumu is not short of the dime and a half. He just wants to help intellectuals. Looking at their thin arms and legs, he should just be a good person and do it to the end.
There was absolutely no intention of finding out where the pretty girl lived.
Not at all.
Sumu can swear at the wheel.
Starting from the east gate of the library again, we took two turns and entered Xiangbai Alley.
During this short distance, there was a middle-aged man sitting sideways on the left side, which made the cart less heavy.
To be honest, the weight and distance are not worth mentioning.
If Mr. Ran hadn't taken the initiative to add money, Su Mu wouldn't have asked for it.
But since I was given face, I opened my mouth.
As a warm-hearted person from the capital, it was hard for Su Mu to refuse.
When they arrived at the location, the middle-aged man helped Mr. Ran unload a wooden box from the cart.
I'm so tired.
It really just goes smoothly.
Su Mu watched helplessly as the two big men dragged the wooden box down. When it fell to the ground, he even heard a heavy landing sound.
"You are all cultural people, so let me do it."
Seeing how hard they were working, Su Mu took action.
He dragged the other wooden box to the ground, picked it up one by one with each hand, turned around and asked the middle-aged man, "Where to put it?"
"Inside, inside..."
The middle-aged man was distracted for a moment, then woke up and immediately walked inside, taking out his keys from his trouser pocket as he walked.
This is a three-entry courtyard house. The regulations are obviously not as big as the one in Sumu, but it is obvious from the fact that there are only two rooms in the front courtyard, and the east wing room in the front yard is at most two pews in size.
The Ran family was assigned the location of the east wing of the backyard.
To be honest, it's quite small.
It looks much smaller than Sumu's ear room.
But coming to Beijing at this time and being able to live in two houses immediately is obviously not easy.
At least it's much better than the barracks-like row houses in Heping.
