Siheyuan: The wife pays off the husband's debt, Huairu's mentality collapses

Su Mu was delighted when he heard this, and immediately tried to operate this function with his mind.

Imagine that there is a switch in your mind. With a slight turn, the overly acute sensory experience will gradually weaken until it returns to normal.

He tried again to heighten his senses to different degrees, feeling the subtle differences that each change brought.

Eventually a balance was found that kept him alert but didn't interfere too much with his daily life.

"That's great!" Su Mu secretly rejoiced in his heart. He realized that this system was not just a simple auxiliary tool, but also a strong backing for him to explore the unknown and challenge himself in the future.

So, with this newfound strength and wisdom, as well as infinite longing for the future, he lay down on his bed peacefully.

As the sensory enhancements gradually shut down, the world around me becomes peaceful and harmonious again.

He soon fell into a deep sleep, gathering his energy for tomorrow's adventure.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and gently woke Sumu up.

He stretched, feeling the residual warmth in his body from last night's monster meat, and he felt particularly energetic.

After getting up, Su Mu decided to make a simple breakfast to start the new day.

He walked into the kitchen and began to prepare noodles with skillful movements.

The water in the pot boils, the noodles are put into the pot, and a faint wheat aroma emanates as they roll.

Afterwards, Su Mu cut the pork belly into cubes on the chopping board. His knife skills were sharp and the cubes were even in size.

Then, he heated up the oil in a pan, added the onion, ginger and garlic to sauté, then added the diced meat and stir-fried it. When the meat turned golden brown, he added the special sauce and simmered it. The rich aroma of the sauce instantly filled the entire kitchen.

When the noodles are cooked, take them out, pour the freshly fried sauce on them, and sprinkle with green chopped green onions and cucumber shreds. A bowl of delicious noodles with soybean paste is ready.

Su Mu was just about to enjoy the delicacy when there was a sudden knock on the door. "Brother Su! Brother Su!"

Su Mu put down his chopsticks and went to open the door. He saw Xiaoyue standing outside the door. She was wearing a light pink dress, which made her look particularly fresh and lovely.

But at this moment, two red clouds appeared on Xiaoyue's face, her eyes flickered, and she seemed a little hesitant.

"Brother Su, I..." Xiaoyue hesitated and lowered her head shyly.

Seeing this, Su Mu couldn't help but laugh in his heart, thinking that he didn't do anything to make this girl blush and her heart beat fast.

He asked gently, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Xiaoyue mustered up her courage, looked up at Su Mu, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Brother Su, I want to invite you to watch a movie."

Su Mu was indeed a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Xiaoyue to take the initiative to make such an invitation.

But then, he remembered his plan for today and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Xiaoyue, I might be a little busy today."

Su Mu tried his best to make his tone sound less harsh, "I'm planning to go out and find some workers to expand the kitchen. The current space is too small."

When Xiaoyue heard this, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

She thought Su Mu would agree readily, but she didn't expect to be rejected as soon as she took the first step.

She bit her lip, trying hard not to let tears fall, and said softly: "Oh, so... Well, then you go ahead and do your work, I won't disturb you."

After saying that, Xiaoyue turned around and was about to leave, her back looking a little lonely. Seeing this, Sumu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He knew that his direct rejection might be hurtful, but there were reasons for it and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Xiaoyue, let's go another day." Su Mu hurriedly called her, "When I'm done with this period of time, let's go to the movies together, okay?"

Xiaoyue stopped, looked back at Sumu, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She nodded and forced a smile: "Okay, Brother Su, you must keep your word."

"Sure." Su Mu promised with a smile and watched Xiaoyue's leaving back. He secretly decided in his heart to deal with the things at hand as soon as possible so as to fulfill his promise to Xiaoyue.

After Sumu finished his breakfast, he packed his clothes and set off for the supply and marketing cooperative.

In this era, supply and marketing cooperatives are important places for villagers to purchase daily necessities and seek services.

Workers who repair houses often take jobs here.

As you enter the supply and marketing cooperative, a familiar and slightly stale atmosphere hits you.

Sumu looked around and saw that the shelves were filled with all kinds of goods. Although the variety was not large, it was enough to meet the basic needs of the villagers.

He walked through the crowd and came to a corner in the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative, where workers often gathered to wait for their employers.

"Excuse me, is there any master here who can help repair and expand the house?" Su Mu asked loudly, hoping to attract the workers' attention.

After a while, several workers with simple clothes and slightly rough skin surrounded us.

One of the older masters, holding a tape measure in his hand, looked at Su Mu with a smile: "Young man, do you want to repair the house or build a new one?"

"Master, I want to expand the kitchen. The current space is too small and inconvenient." Su Mu explained.

"Oh, expanding the kitchen? That's easy." The chef nodded. "But you have to tell me your specific requirements first. For example, how much area do you want to expand? Do you have any special requirements?"

Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "I think I'd like to expand it by two or three square meters, mainly to put in an extra stove and storage cabinet. In addition, I'd like to use blue bricks and wood as materials, which are strong and durable."

The master nodded his understanding and said, "Bricks and wood are indeed good choices. However, the price depends on your specific needs and market conditions. Don't worry, we are honest in our work and our prices are absolutely fair."

"That's great, Master. Can you tell me how much materials are needed and how to calculate the labor cost?" Su Mu asked.

The master thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll go to your house to see the actual situation, and then make you a list, including the materials and labor costs. What do you think?"

"Okay, thank you for making the trip." Su Mu said gratefully.

"No trouble, it's my duty." The master smiled and waved his hand, "Then let's go now, the sooner we finish the inspection, the sooner we can start working."

So Sumu and the elderly master left the supply and marketing cooperative and went to his home to check the specific conditions of the kitchen.

Along the way, the two chatted about family matters, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Su Mu knew that with the help of these experienced and skilled workers, his kitchen expansion plan would soon be realized.

After arriving home, Su Mu led the master through the narrow courtyard and came to the kitchen.

The kitchen door was half-open, letting in a dim light, making it look particularly cramped.
