Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 312 Accidental solitude

Qi Tian rides a three-wheeled scooter through the alleys.

From a distance, I saw a slender figure carrying a black piano case and walking against the wall.

"Hong Ling, do you want to practice piano? Get in the car and I'll give you a ride."

He Hongling turned her head, her facial features that had gradually opened up were slightly stunning.

She lives a very solid life now.

Ever since my father passed away, I and my mother have never been so at ease.

In the past, it was difficult to ensure stable eating and drinking, and malnutrition made her a complete yellow-haired girl.

Now his hair is silky black, his cheeks have color, and his cheekbones are no longer so obvious. Everything is developing in a good direction.

Her father was a violinist, and she also loved playing the violin since she was a child.

These days, the relationship between neighbors is more reliable than that between relatives.

It's just that meat and vegetables are too precious. She wants to learn, but she still doesn't dare to get started without Sister Haitang watching.

This is the first time in my life that I have seen a soundproof room.

Like a big brother, he always pays attention to her.

Just like He Hongling carefully guarded her opportunities to help cook and practice piano in the courtyard, the rough guy Qi Tian was also cautious in approaching He Hongling.

There is a room in that courtyard with a very different nature.

She had only heard from her father that foreign piano rooms all have soundproofing devices.

I also specially gave myself a small room where I could practice piano safely.

He didn't know if it was because he liked her, or he just wanted to care about her when he saw her. He felt empty after not seeing her for a day.

She takes good care of her very carefully, not wanting to make the other party dissatisfied because of her presumption or negligence, thereby losing the opportunity to practice the piano freely.

Liang Dong saw it in his eyes, but felt melancholy in his heart.

So what He Hongling gets now is much more than her own face.

only……

If there was any movement from He Hongling next door, Qi Tian would call her over to help, and then take her there for a little while.

Yu Haitang is just the user of the courtyard.

Since Qi Tian learned about He Hongling's family situation, apart from going to Brother Sumu's yard for dinner, he would only buy things and eat at Liang Dong's house.

I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, I won't be able to afford it.

Even if they said they could come over anytime they wanted to practice.

Liang Dong was in a dilemma, not knowing how to speak.

When eating with brother Liang Dong, we used to go out to restaurants, or sometimes at Liang Dong's house, sometimes at Qi Tian's house.

She will look forward to it after lunch.

She has also learned some simple dishes during this period, which she can prepare in advance and wait for Sister Haitang to eat.

Because there was no one in the yard in the morning, it was not my home after all.

Several times I hesitated to speak, wanting to wake up Qitian...

She is very concerned about this opportunity and conditions for practicing piano.

Liang Dong also met her sister and a charming woman named Qin.

And she can use it now.

So she always went there after 1:30 in the afternoon.

Gave her a key to the yard so she can practice piano at any time?
What's the difference between having a room belonging to her in that small courtyard?
Liang Dong knew several families of Su Mu.

But He Hongling still didn't want to be too reckless.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, which is most vividly reflected in this era.

Is there nothing fishy or hidden in this?

I can have two or three hours to practice piano every day.

He Hongling found a glimmer of hope in her miserable life, and her cautiousness was pitiful.

Fortunately, the owner of the kitchen is very kind. Although the handsome and charming male owner often fails to come over, the beautiful and kind female owner also takes good care of himself.

After practicing until about four o'clock, I will put away my things and start cleaning the yard and tidying up the kitchen in advance.

That's the corner of the yard, and the sound isolation is very good.

However, the living conditions in the neighborhood are limited, and she cannot practice the piano because the sound will disturb them and harm them.

She won't go over in the morning.

If Su Mu gave He Hongling a chance to help in the kitchen, it was for Liang Dong's sake.

Qi Tian was in a good mood every time he met He Hongling.

After all, Qi Tian did not directly express any out-of-bounds behavior.

Everything is still Liang Dong's own speculation.

It wouldn't be good if it got exposed and it would embarrass everyone.

"Hong Ling, you should go home early after your work in the evening. Brother Dong and I have made an appointment to have a drink together. Then you can go over and have something to eat."

"Really, then I have to thank Brother Tian."

He Hongling's eyes were big and clear, and her smiling face fascinated Qi Tian.

When her figure opened the door and entered the courtyard, Qi Tian reluctantly looked away.

Diagonally opposite is Qitian's home.

He finished work early today just to make time to have a drink with his elder brother Liang Dong.

First I wanted to drink.

Secondly...

There have been quite a lot of troubles recently, but I can say that I don't have a particularly serious workplace, so I won't be afraid of troubles no matter how big the trouble is.

But Liang Dong has a job.

A teacher at Shichahai Martial Arts School.

Specializes in teaching martial arts routines.

If you follow this routine all the time, if you fall into it one day, you will lose your job if you fail.

Anyway, Brother Mu said several times not to let Brother Dong and himself show up, and let the little brothers create friction and sort out the work.

Qi Tian felt that it was enough for him to be responsible, and there was no need for Brother Dong to follow him.

According to Su Mu, he didn't even want Qi Tian to follow him.

I'm afraid he might accidentally fold it there.

Qitian was worried that his little brothers would not do their job well, so he was so conscientious in his duties.

Speaking of which, Qi Tian is really good.

It's okay to be a brother.

Toward Liang Dong, the eldest brother, he was considerate and his attitude was always respectful.

He is also extremely loyal to the people under his opponents, enjoying the blessings together and shouldering the difficulties together.

This happens to be where Su Mu is dissatisfied with Qi Tian.

Dakui told Su Mu that some of Qitian's brothers have true temperaments, while others are not so genuine.

But Qitian didn't know whether he didn't notice it or didn't care, but he treated them equally.

If you don't get it right, you'll fall into a trap yourself.

Su Mu cares about Chen Dakui's opinion.

Dakui seems to be in a daze, but in fact he is alive and well.

Recklessness is just his protective color.

If the situation didn't require any fanfare, Chen Dakui could play a military role.

Much stronger than the dog-headed strategist.

This Sumu believes in it very much.

Qi Tian had already bought meat and vegetables, carried them out and walked to Liang Dong's house.

They both live in the same alley, but it's just the first half and the second half, so there's no need to ride a car.

After passing the corner in the middle of the alley, I saw Brother Mumu coming towards me on a big bar.

"Brother Mumu, are you getting off work so early today?"

"Tian'er, are you looking for Brother Dong?"

"Let's have a drink together, Brother Mu, if you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you come over too?"

The brothers are already familiar enough that there is no need to explain too much.

If you encounter one, join in the fun.

Neither Qi Tian nor Su Mu thought that not calling Su Mu in advance for the party was a matter of distance and distance.

Mainly, Su Mu himself never thought that things would be over at this point today.

He had other things to do in the evening, so he didn't go back to Nanluogu Lane.

He didn't even go to Courtyard No. 1 in Xicheng District to find Yan Qing. None of them fit.

After all, he had to go out in the middle of the night to add some rice, flour, meat and fat to many families.

Yes.

It’s time to distribute supplies again.

"Forget it today, I'll ask Haitang to sponsor you a hard meal later."

"That's daring."

Su Mu continued to ride back, Qi Tian walked a few steps and then stopped inexplicably.

He thought of He Hongling practicing the piano by herself in the yard.

Thinking that Brother Su Mu would meet He Hongling, a man and a woman alone together without anyone else around...

He was stunned for about ten seconds.

Qi Tian touched the back of his head, with a hint of self-mockery on his lips, shook his head slightly, and continued to drink with Brother Dong.

Some things depend on fate.

Qi Tian has never thought that he likes He Hongling. Maybe he really appreciates her strength and independence, likes her character, and treats her as a sister...

Maybe I like it a little bit.

But the little flame was still too weak, and little Qi Tian didn't even notice it.

Qi Tian lost his parents when he was very young. He followed his eldest brother Liang Dong, practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, and became very skilled in fighting and killing.

On the contrary, when it comes to relationships, who among grown men has nothing to teach them.

Liang Dong may not be able to understand it himself, so how could he think of passing on his little experience to Qi Tian.

I don’t know if his own experience is correct, and it’s not certain that he might mislead others.

Qi Tian entered the yard and went straight to the backyard.

This is a standard courtyard that has been built and renovated beyond recognition.

There are three families in the last row. Liang Dong's family is in the middle, and He Hongling's family is on the left.

"Brother Dong, I'm here."

Qi Tian shouted, and before entering the house, he faintly heard a few muffled coughs coming from next door.

He Hongling's mother is in poor health and often gets sick. Coughing is more common.

Qi Tian inexplicably thought that if He Hongling really followed Brother Mu when he bought shares, he would have helped improve the living conditions of Hongling's family.

Maybe I will move to a small courtyard or somewhere else...

Qi Tian suddenly felt uncomfortable when he thought that He Hongling might move away and never see him again.

"Brother Dong, I bought two yuan of meat. You cook some first, and then I go to the store to get a bottle of wine."

Qi Tian felt like drinking today and suddenly wanted to get drunk.

There is a bottle of Sanbai on Brother Dong's cabinet, which is usually enough for two people.

I'm not drunk, I'm fine, and I won't have to go back to sleep after the drinking party.

But today, Qi Tian just wanted to drink some more. It would be better to drink more, so that he could drink to his heart's content and drink until his heart would not be so congested.

"One bottle isn't enough for both of us? Is there anyone else coming tonight? Is Dakui coming too?"

"No, it's just the two of us. Brother Dong, I'm just craving for wine today, and I'm also thinking about your skill in making meatballs."

"Okay, okay, go quickly. I'm a skilled worker and can do it in no time."

The wine party between the two of them is being prepared.

On the other side of the alley, Su Mu has arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard.

The door was unlocked and ajar.

Su Mu opened the door with a slight push.

He pushed the bike into the yard.

Thieves are very rampant now.

Several bicycles were stolen from the Municipal Public Security Bureau compound.

This is evident from this.

Su Mu didn't care about that, he just looked at his own.

After entering the courtyard, turn back and close the courtyard door.

The door to the east wing opened quietly, and a pretty girl stood at the door.

The big watery eyes seemed to be able to talk.

Emotions rippled in his eyes, and there was no way to hide them.

A little happy, a little excited, and a little timid...

Many complex and diverse emotions were eventually wrapped up in a larger emotion, packaged and delivered to Sumu's eyes.

Su Mu felt the biggest emotion, two words: admiration.

Su Mu was very happy to be admired by a beautiful little girl.

This is the little girl he raised.

Not only is it beautiful and artistic, it is also versatile.

The figure is also beautiful.

The barren living conditions did not affect her development.

The first time Su Mu delivered food supplies to her family, he encountered her secretly and silently fingering, so he scanned her thoroughly...

So in Su Mu's eyes, it didn't matter how many layers of clothes He Hongling wore.

He knew the girl in front of him far better than she knew herself.

It has reached the point where body and mind are unified, and coded is equivalent to uncoded.

"You are practicing the piano, keep practicing, it's okay."

"Ah, no, no need. I'll help you pour water..."

He Hongling turned around and went back to the house.

When she came out just now to find out what was going on, she still had the piano and bow in her hands.

Now he turned around and walked inside, feeling a little panicked.

When he came out again, He Hongling's cheeks were completely red.

People's thoughts spin much faster than their actions.

He Hongling thought of the words her mother had been nagging in her ears.

Women who have experienced hardships and setbacks will always subconsciously make demands on their daughters based on their own failures.

Treat her daughter as her second regretful choice, hoping that her daughter can make up for her regrets back then.

Mother He felt that her daughter was beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and showed off her intelligence. With such good conditions, she would naturally fly into the branches, but she must not marry for love like herself, which would lead to a dilemma in life.

She hopes her daughter will take advantage of the opportunity.

Although dreams are good and love is beautiful, if you don’t have enough food, everything will be an illusion.

He Hongling was taught this idea by her mother since she was a child.

Although there are ignorant sprouts of love, expectations and fantasies, they will also move closer to reality subconsciously.

To compare, to think.

Su Mu is very handsome.

Because of his work and position, he has a unique charm and temperament.

A bit like a great uncle.

However, He Hongling lacked fatherly love and could not resist the uncle Su Mu even without these external factors.

The little girl was busy going to the kitchen to get a kettle, tea leaves from the cupboard, and making tea for Sumu.

He Hongling had never seen Su Mu before, but she had never been alone with Su Mu in this courtyard.

This chance opportunity made her a little confused and a little excited.

Maybe deep down she wanted to have something happen with this handsome male protagonist.

On the contrary, Su Mu was sitting upright, looking like a gentleman.

He Hongling poured water and handed it to Su Mu.

Seeing him nodding politely, smiling, saying hello, and motioning for him to sit down.

I feel a little regretful for no reason.

If he had just stretched out his hand and gently pulled...

Hong Ling felt that she would fall into his arms.

I already have a very real picture in my mind.

But that didn't happen.

He Hongling felt a little regretful.

But did the other person have some thoughts when he asked me to sit down?
The little girl couldn't help but start to think about it again.
