I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 309 I’ll rent your tricycle for a day

Yu Jie smiled and said nothing. Song Wu paused, then looked at Yu Jie seriously and said to her: "If you really want to pull something, I can definitely help you."

Yu Jie shook her head, "No, I just thought you were the one who made the appointment. I guess he will arrive soon. If you really go and do it, aren't you trying to make someone else's job?"

Song Wu smiled. He had planned to go to the tavern for a drink today, but he always felt that Yu Jie was not in a good mood, and she felt very irritable. It is estimated that he really has something to do today, because he feels that the atmosphere is not to his liking, and he no longer has the pleasure of drinking, so he is going to leave first and come back another day when he has time.

But before he could say goodbye, a man riding a three-wheeled flatbed stopped at the door of the tavern.

Yu Jie smiled at Song Wu and said, "Wait for a while. Don't leave. I'll tell you something when I finish my work." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly led Wobo to the store. inside.

Song Wu had to wait patiently for a while, but he soon heard the sound of an argument coming from the store.

Yu Jie's voice came: "All the wine I brought over last time must be replaced by me. These wines cannot be sold. They are not the wines originally promised. You have mixed them with water, so you must either replace them with me or return them." No matter what happens, we have to take all these jars of wine away now."

Then I heard the croaking voice again: "Mrs. Boss, what you said is wrong. This wine was all favored by the people at your winery. When we left the winery, your people were all looking at it, and they were also looking at it." There are formal procedures. Now if you say the wine was mixed with water, then we still say it was mixed with water in your place."

"How could I possibly mix it with water? My tavern never sells wine mixed with water. If I see water mixed with wine, I would rather smash it than sell it to everyone."

For a time, the tavern became lively, and many regular patrons responded.

The man didn't say anything for a while, but when the crowd's voices died down, he still hummed and said: "No matter what you say, this wine was ordered by the people in your winery, and it has nothing to do with us. If you say If you don't sell wine mixed with water, then just smash it. If you want me to pull it over and replace it with a new one, it's impossible. If you don't want our wine, just use the wine from your own store. , we don’t want to deal with people like you who make trouble.”

Song Wu looked at Yu Jie's haggard face, and realized belatedly that she seemed to have lost her former grace, and her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she had a depression that would never go away.

Yu Jie smiled and shook her head, "It's all trivial business matters, it doesn't matter."

She said to Song Wu: "Are you free tomorrow?"

Yu Jie said: "It's not about pulling things, it's about pulling people. Tomorrow you use this tricycle to pull me to a place."

"Yes, the boss lady never mixes the wine with water."

Yu Jie pursed her lips, looked at Song Wu's tricycle, and said with a smile, "Can I rent your tricycle for a day?"

Soon, he saw the man who had just gone in walked out with a smile on his face, got on his tricycle, raised his eyebrows at Song Wu, and then walked away humming a little tune.

Yu Jie still smiled and shook her head.

"If you need help, just ask, but don't be polite to me. It turns out you helped me, and I haven't forgotten it."

Song Wu thought for a moment and said, "If I have time, I just ride a tricycle around the alleys every day."

……

It can be heard that the reputation and popularity of Yu Jie's management are really good. At this time, many people are lending their support.

Yu Jie didn't come out for a while, and just when Song Wu was considering whether to leave or go in to take a look. Only then did the door curtain lift, and Yu Jie with red eyes came out, but soon there was a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.

"What's wrong? Are you encountering any difficulties?" Song Wu asked with concern.

"Your wine was watered down. I'm sure you won't get into trouble with the landlady."

"That's right, who in this area doesn't know what the landlady is like."

ah? Song Wu didn't know what she meant. He looked at Yu Jie a little strangely, and then asked: "Is there any work you need me to do? Can I help you pull something?"

"where to?"

"Miaofeng Mountain in Mentougou, Western Suburbs."

Song Wu was stunned. This trip was not close. It was about 30 kilometers away, more than 60 kilometers round trip. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "Why are you going to Miaofeng Mountain at this time? Is there anything good there?" Yu Jie turned red. Face, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Miaofeng Mountain Empress Temple, it's time for the temple fair tomorrow. You can go to the Empress Temple to tie dolls."

temple fair? Song Wu asked strangely: "Temple fairs are still allowed to be held at this time." How could such feudal superstition still exist? Song Wu felt very strange.

Yu Jie said: "It's definitely gone on the surface, but privately there are a lot of people going there on their own. It should be very lively these days and it's all spontaneous. After all, it's an old tradition. Besides, many people have it." If you need it, go there with a sincere heart to ask for a child and pray for blessings.”

At this time, Song Wu noticed what Yu Jie said about begging for a child and tying up a baby. He couldn't help but glance at Yu Jie's belly.

Yu Jie noticed his look, glared at him angrily and said, "What are you looking at? I'm not afraid to tell you clearly. I just want to tie up a doll and ask for a child. What's wrong? Tell me, after all. going or not?"

Song Wu scratched his head and smiled, "If I can't spare the time, how are you going to go?"

The expression on Yu Jie's face dimmed suddenly, she pursed her lips and thought for a while, and finally sighed and said quietly: "If you don't have time and can't accompany me, then I won't go and wait until next year. Anyway, year after year has passed like this, and I’m not in a hurry to wait another year.”

Song Wu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, people's concept of time is measured in years, and the pace is too leisurely and slow, which is really enviable.

He smiled and said to Jie, "Okay, I agree. I will take you to Miaofeng Mountain tomorrow. How much fare are you prepared to pay?"

"How much are you going to ask for? Let's talk about the price first and we can discuss it." Yu Jie said with a smile and raised her eyebrows.

Song Wu smiled and said, "I don't want anything else. Just give me four jars of good base wine when the time comes."

He himself felt that this request was not excessive, but unexpectedly Yu Jie frowned and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "It's okay if you want good wine, but lately, I can’t give it to you. I have to wait for a while, but I owe you anyway, okay?”

Song Wu was very surprised. Yu Jie's family should have a winery, how could there be no wine?

The reason why he asked for wine was because he felt that this matter should not be a problem at all to Jie, so he said this. As a result, it was now obvious that Yu Jie was embarrassed. Looking at her look, it seemed that she couldn't get the wine out at all. This is not normal. If a tavern owner can't get out the wine, why should he keep it open?

Song Wu wanted to ask more about the situation, but Yu Jie had already smiled and said: "Okay, now we have agreed, it is best to come early tomorrow, we will set off before dawn, after all, it is such a long way."

Coming back from the tavern, Song Wu kept thinking about Yu Jie's expression and hesitant way when she spoke just now. He always felt that she might have had a drinking problem or that there was something wrong at home.

However, it seems that she doesn't want to say more now, so she can only find opportunities to figure it out slowly in the future.

When sleeping at night, Gao E said to Song Wu: "I raised a few chickens in the courtyard house in Dongsijiu some time ago. As a result, they were alive and kicking for so many days without any problems. The eggs they laid were big and round. , it seems that the yard is clean and should be suitable for people to live in."

Song Wu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile: "You go and do ideological work for Lou Xiao'e. It's not comfortable to live in the courtyard now anyway, which makes Liu Haizhong and the others nervous. The two children are also older. , I can’t run in this small yard, and it’s not safe to run in the big yard. It’s really safe to go to that yard. When the time comes, we will install seesaws, slides, swivel chairs, etc. in it, and I think the two children will be very happy.”

Gao E suddenly became excited. She was so tired that she didn't want to move. She suddenly stood up again and asked Song Wu: "Can you really install those things in the courtyard? I thought Gao Xiaomiao and Song Xiaofeng must like it very much." "

Song Wu stroked her hair and said with a smile: "A yard as big as that over there can definitely be installed. I will make it myself by then. The old bicycle racks and wheels in our yard can be used, and it will definitely be able to be installed very well." pretty."

Gao E couldn't help but kissed Song Wu and said with a smile: "You are the best. A few days ago, I took Gao Xiaomiao to the hospital to get vaccinations. When passing by the kindergarten, she saw the slides and seesaws in the courtyard. She had to make a fuss and go in. I persuaded her to come back with hard words. She still remembered it during the day and asked me if she could go again. Alas, when I was ignorant and couldn't speak, I hoped that she would be able to be herself one day earlier. I ran away and could call mom and dad. Now that I can do that, I start to make trouble. Why is it so hard to be a mother?"

Song Wu smiled and said, "Isn't it difficult for me to be a father?"

"What's wrong with you? I've never seen you worry about children. You ride a tricycle and go out for fun every day."

Come on, Song shut up quickly, this topic can no longer be discussed.

The next day, Song Wu got up before dawn. Gao E, who was half asleep, asked him, "Why are you up so early? What's the matter?"

"I told people today that there is something far away that I need to bring back, so I have to leave early. You can go to sleep. I'll leave first. You can tell Lou Xiao'e later that you don't want her to worry. I may be back soon. Later." Gao E responded casually, then buried herself in the quilt and fell asleep.
