Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

"Maybe my brother moved here."

"Ying Jun is also a good young man. I almost didn't recognize him last time I saw him. It's nice that he moved here, and the neighbors all know him..."

We chatted for a few more times, mostly with Yan Bugui asking about Su Mu's life in the army compound, while Su Mu picked up unimportant things to talk about.

The two of them had not interacted much before, just nodding and saying hello.

Now that Su Mu Pang is on his thighs and he is wearing a five-six suit, Uncle Yan's enthusiasm has become even more intense.

"What do you call this, kid? It's all good after all the hardships. I heard that there is a canteen in the compound, and the Chinese cabbage for the winter is delivered directly to the house..."

Su Mu had a slight smile on his face and didn't explain anything.

He also wants to move out. As for whether he will live here or switch to his eldest brother's resettlement house, he has no idea.

There's no need to talk about it now.

"Third uncle, you are busy first. I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative first."

"Go, go, let's talk again someday when we come back."

"I just went to the store to buy a broom and dustpan. This house is a mess and I need to clean it up..."

"What are you buying? I have it at home. I will bring it to you right now."

Uncle Yan's eyes rolled, and before Su Mu could speak, he turned around and walked out.

His steps were as fast as flying, as if he was afraid of Su Mu's rejection.

During the period when Su Mu came here, his impression of Uncle Yan was still based on the views of 'careful', 'picky' and 'diligent and thrifty'.

Looking at the door, in the corner of his eye, there are still imprints of the original furniture on the floor and walls.

Compared with Su Chuanjun's family, it's no wonder that Yan Bugui became the third uncle in the courtyard.

Isn't this road getting wider and wider as we go?

Standing at the door, waiting for Uncle Yan to get the broom and dustpan, he suddenly saw a basin on the right being lifted up from the corner of his eye, and a piece of water poured over.

Su Mu subconsciously took two steps back.

The half-filled basin of water splashed onto the ground with great force, splashing a lot of water stains.

Su Mu's trousers instantly had more than a dozen dirt spots on them.

Look up.

Mrs. Chen Liu had an angry look on her face, holding a basin and standing on the steps. When she saw Su Mu looking at her, she snorted loudly on purpose.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Uncle Yan took a dustpan and broom in both hands and ran a few steps. He couldn't help but frown when he saw the mud and water on the ground.

It's common for neighbors to pour dirty water, but spreading it on someone else's doorstep is a bit too much.

Mrs. Chen Liu ignored Yan Bugui and snorted again, turning around and going back to the house.

"Oh, forget it. Lao Chen's family can't stay for a few days without being as familiar with her as she is."

"They're moving out?"

"What do you think the street office officer came to do in our courtyard just now?"

"I thought I was sending a notice to Brother Dongxu."

"The Jia family's affairs are in vain. The documents above are all fixed. How can we make an exception for his family? This is called no rules and no rules. All state and family affairs must follow the rules..."

"What else could it be? Even if something happens to Chen Guorong, we can't drive the whole family away..."

"It's not really a rush, I just have to change places."

The standard of this courtyard house is not low. It was originally a courtyard with four entrances and a west courtyard. The courtyard at the back was expropriated and became the current three-entry courtyard.

But the height and area of ​​the house and the size of the courtyard have not changed.

The accommodation is spacious and comfortable.

Uncle Yan has a bad habit of speaking in roundabout ways and always making a point at critical moments.

Su Mu was currently using Uncle Yan's broom and dustpan, and he was in a good mood, so he cooperated with the compliments.

Wait for the next call.

"It is said that it is to make room for a newly transferred policeman..."

After saying a few words, Su Mu was about to enter the house and start cleaning.

"The small house next to you, the street office Li Qianqian just said that it should be cleared as soon as possible. You go clean up the inside, and I will help you demolish the outside..."

"Oh, there's this thing. I can finish it later and dismantle it myself."

"It's okay. I'm idle now, so go ahead and get busy."

Su Mu entered the house and cleaned the house first.

Mainly dust and cobwebs in the corners.

It's only been a day or two without anyone, and I don't know if the cobwebs are from before or if they are new in the past two days.

They were all wiped out under Sumu's broom.

There was not much other debris, but anything that could be of some use was looted by Su Chuanjun and Su Shengli, which saved Su Mu the trouble of cleaning up.

Let's put it this way, a few rotten wooden pegs that were originally behind the door were pulled out and taken away.

As a result, the door of the house is a bit wobbly now. Su Mu wants to wait until he moves later and plug it in again.

He lacked many things in his space, but he did not lack wood.

If there were too little wood in the space, Chen Guorong would not be able to get in so thoroughly.

Well, if you think about it from this perspective, Su Mu can barely forgive Chen Liu's bad attitude and half-empty anger.

Just... let’s not do this next time.

The houses in the courtyard are divided into rooms and roofs.

Looking at the beam structure, one beam is equivalent to one room.

The east wing of the front yard has three lofts, the south loft divides it into a room, and the north and middle lofts are open to each other.

Sumu is easy to clean.

He was still thinking of doing some work inside the house quickly and helping out outside.

After all, it is your own home and your own life.

It really doesn’t matter if I let Uncle Yan dismantle it all by himself.

So Su Mu used the broom to grab the places he could reach, scratched them, and swept the ground again. Then he put down what he was doing and planned to go out and demolish the nest.

As for those places that are out of reach, just wait until you come here next time, or when you move, and then go up there.

Turn right when you go out, and you will see the den in Beiwu Mountain where Sumu lived for a long time.

The wooden doors and 'roof' are gone.

It looks more like an unfinished doghouse.

The bed boards and bedding grass inside have also disappeared and are clean.

The area around the den was also clean, without a trace of anyone.

Where is Uncle Yan?

Su Mu was stunned for several seconds before suddenly realizing.

Damn it, I helped dismantle the den, obviously because I was interested in those wooden boards.

It seems that I am still too young to trust Yan Bugui, the third uncle of the courtyard with bad children.

It is estimated that he has already targeted Sumu's place.

Although I don’t know who moved the bed board from the small nest, but based on his understanding of Yan Bugui’s character and what I see now, even the bed straw is so clean...

Eighty percent of it was done by Uncle Yan.

Su Mu recalled that when he came here just now, he vaguely seemed to see a wooden door.

Now that I think about it again, the wooden boards, oilcloth and wooden doors on the roof are probably the fundamental purpose of Uncle Yan's so-called help.

Looking down at the broom and dustpan still in his hand, Su Mu chuckled.

He is not a fussy person.

Give someone a rose, and the fragrance will remain in your hand.

In his memory, Uncle Yan never showed any contempt for him. Every time he came in and out of the courtyard, whenever he met him, he would greet him with a smile.

Furthermore, taking the initiative to borrow your own broom and dustpan to take something away is also a kind of coming and going.

Even if the things he took could be exchanged for two brooms and dustpans, Su Mu obviously suffered a big loss.

Those who can live here later are either me or my eldest brother Su Yingjun. They are all neighbors who bow their heads but never look up. Let's forget it this time...

Waiting to find Yan Jiefang to settle his debts together with Su Shengli is another matter.

The book has been signed, rest assured...
