Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Sunday.

Su Mu was woken up by a burst of quarrel early in the morning.

A voice coming from the back wall.

It's the middle court.

Su Mu even heard the conversation between Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu.

He looked up at the gable top and sighed leisurely.

Living in this era and in this environment, the term "communication depends on shouting" is not derogatory.

The sound insulation effect is not good. If you have to use a mobile device to communicate, then there is something really wrong.

After listening for a while, Su Mu got the general idea.

There is a water bill to be charged today.

The water in the compound is shared from public taps and is shared equally from door to door every month.

Jia Dongxu thought that his family suffered a loss by paying an extra 1 cents, and He Yuzhu also said a few words.

It probably meant that it was just a matter of a few cents, and he told Jia Dongxu not to care too much. After a while, he said that if it didn't work, everyone would share the matter equally.

He is just a peacemaker and a conciliatory master.

But it seems that some people are not happy with his proposal.

Yi Zhonghai's voice was not heard.

The big man in this compound is not putting on airs.

He just understands the principle of 'talking too much will lead to mistakes'.

This is in sharp contrast to the second uncle Liu Haizhong in the backyard.

A person who is a bit arrogant on the outside, takes the unofficial and unofficial errand of the courtyard master as a top priority, and is a bit official-obsessed.

It's not that Yi Zhonghai doesn't like being the master of the courtyard.

But his style of doing things has become more mature.

At this point, Su Mu knew a little about the old guy Yi Zhonghai.

When Yi Zhonghai faces disputes and disputes, he will definitely not express his position easily at first, but when the general trend is determined, he will definitely strive to be the one who makes the final decision.

Let everyone subconsciously think that he has the final say.

This has the effect of being 'high in moral character and highly respected', 'responsible for the public's wishes' and even 'following the rules'.

You can also get a feel for it from the prestige of the three uncles in the courtyard.

Su Mu was not surprised not to hear what Yi Zhonghai said.

It's just that Jia Dongxu is very strange.

The owner who spends dozens of dollars every week to stock up on food at home, and who will never buy corn noodles if he can eat white noodles.

He would actually argue with his neighbors over a mere 1 cents.

They almost got into a fight.

Well... there's already a quarrel.

Otherwise, how could Su Mu wake up?

When I wake up, I get out of bed and start washing.

Living in this era, sleeping in is out of the question.

The delicious food and lazy cooking can be spread all over the country in the shortest time. Specialized personnel from the street office, neighborhood committee and other departments will come to you to 'communicate' and solve your ideological problems.

This behavior is very dangerous.

Besides, it's almost time to have breakfast.

Su Mu looked at the sky through the dormer window.

He kind of wants to buy a watch.

It’s not a problem to live a life where you always look at the sky and guess the time.

Later, while eating, I will ask my elder brother and sister-in-law.

The eldest brother has the trophies passed down to him by his father.

Sumu is not greedy, as long as he has a Shanghai mechanical watch with accurate travel time. It does not have to be a plum blossom, and he does not expect Swiss labor.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, and pushing the door open to walk out of the house, Su Mu found that several people were gathered around his front yard at the steps on the west side of the hall.

Sister-in-law Li Xiaolan was also there, but didn't speak.

Mainly Aunt Wang and the third aunt were communicating.

The posture seems to be quite harmonious.

If you don't listen to the content.

Yan Bugui is a calculating person, and Su Mu has already learned this.

The third aunt Yang Ruihua is close to Zhu Zhechi, so she is not a careless person.

There is still the issue of water bills.

The faucet in the front yard is on the west side of the hall steps.

The angle between the Liu Wang family in the west door of the hall and the Yan family in the west wing.

It is separate from the water meter in the middle courtyard.

In fact, this aspect alone is much better than many large courtyards.

At least there is no need for a dozen or so residents of the entire three-in-four courtyard to argue at the same time.

"Sister-in-law, isn't eldest brother up yet?"

Li Xiaolan turned around and rolled her eyes at Su Mu: "Your eldest brother got up much earlier than I did. He went to exercise and said he would be back with breakfast later."

Sumu shrugged.

This young couple is not short of money, and they are seeing their sister-in-law going to work in the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative is a hot and good unit, with good treatment, good benefits, and some small favors can be digested internally...

These days are definitely getting easier and easier.

If it were any other family in this courtyard, if the man did not allow his wife to prepare meals at home, and had to spend money to bring meals back when she went out, it would definitely end in a civil war that shocked the entire courtyard.

But what about these two?

One was generous and came over to watch the fun, while the other never forgot to go out for exercise even during times of famine.

The most important thing is that these two people can say it in front of everyone.

Who are you trying to piss off, or are you jealous of?

It's a good way to attract hatred.

as predicted.

The third aunt of the Yan family and Aunt Wang of the Liu family were arguing over 7 cents, when they heard the newly moved-in daughter-in-law of the Su family showing off.

Yes, just show off.

There is no fire at home, but spending money to eat out in restaurants early in the morning is so cool and enviable. If it is not a show off, it is nothing.

"Xiaolan, your family is so well-off. You don't even have a fire at home. Otherwise, you have to pay for the extra water bill..."

When Su Mu heard the finger turning, he immediately looked at the instigator's sister-in-law Li Xiaolan.

I found that she was not angry, but was startled.

"I?"

Su Mu was speechless.

But at this time, you must turn your elbows inward, and you can't do it without opening your mouth.

"Aunt Wang, your words don't make sense. No one's money comes from strong winds. There is a lot of food at the grain station. Can you come over and share it in our yard?"

In fact, Mr. Liu Wang is just outspoken and smooth-talking.

My family is still arguing with the Yan family for a few cents, not because they want to save a few more cents.

I heard that someone else went to buy something to eat early in the morning.

The manager, who wakes up early and is greedy at night, wants to break off the rations and count them to cook. If he goes to a restaurant to buy breakfast, why not just spend a few cents to go out...

In comparison, my heart is naturally unbalanced.

Maybe he didn't really want Li Xiaolan to pay for it.

Because I can’t tell.

The truth is there.

Maybe it's more of a vent of negative emotions.

After being pushed away by Su Mu so painlessly, he murmured a few times and gave up the idea of ​​refuting.

The most important thing right now is to discuss the water bill with Yang Ruihua.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back first. I just have something to ask you."

Something really happened, about the watch ticket that I just thought of.

I also wanted to leave quickly.

This kind of excitement is not enough to satisfy, and it may be affected. If it really spreads for a minute and a half, although it is not bad, it is not enough.

"What's going on?"

Li Xiaolan asked mindlessly as she walked.

This sister-in-law is really very nervous. She didn't realize that she almost attracted hatred just now.
