Mu Zhen, who was pushed out of the emergency room, had a thick white gauze wrapped around her head, a hanging bottle hanging on the side of the bed, and looked at the people around her with a somewhat dull eye. The doctor repeatedly instructed that the child's condition was basically stable, but he should be observed for a few more days.

Maybe there is the power of God, although there is a saying that "illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread", but for Mu Zhen, who is in her youth, this sudden disaster did not make her lie on the hospital bed for a long time, and after two quarters of an hour of work in the ward, the child completely woke up, looked at Lao Mu's face, and asked in a whisper: "What about Mu Bao?"

When Lao Mu heard Mu Zhen call his brother's name, he involuntarily grabbed Mu Zhen's little hand tightly, and his head twisted away, and tears slid down his cheeks like beads.

"What a good boy, I'm like this, and I still think about my little brother!" Lao Mu wiped his tears with his other hand, and then comforted Mu Bao, "He's fine, play with your sister at home!"

Mu Zhen looked at Lao Mu's moist eyes, a little puzzled, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Perhaps, as people often say, "Fortune is great", in just two days, Mu Zhen's condition has improved a lot, except for the gauze wrapped around his head, he can also see that he is a patient, and the rest have all returned to normal. This made Lao Mu hang his heart and finally settled. Xiuhua has been worried about the two children at home for two days in the county, although he also knows that Mu Yan can cook, take care of housework, and take care of Mu Bao, but after all, he is a child who is less than ten years old, and he has not left him for so long, how much he wants the villagers to send a letter to Yingzi to help take care of the two children at home, but this county seat is dozens of miles away from the village, who will come to the county seat to do something? Even if he comes, he may not be able to meet each other. Seeing that Mu Zhen had gotten better, Xiuhua discussed with Lao Mu that she would take the car home first, so that relatives and neighbors would not have to worry about things here.

Coincidentally, as soon as Xiuhua left on the front foot, Da'an found Mu Zhen's ward with a bag of fruit, Lao Mu saw Da'an who suddenly came to see him, and opened his mouth in shock, as if he didn't know what to say, he stood there stunned, looking at Da'an with straight eyes.

"Big brother, I heard from the family that something happened to Mu Zhen and she lives in the hospital, and the family is worried, so I just came home and came here to see you and the child!" Da'an looked at Lao Mu's eyes and explained.

"We're here, no one knows where we live, it's really not easy for you to come here to find me!" Lao Mu relieved himself and responded.

"Don't forget what I'm studying, this little thing still can't be difficult for me!" Da'an said as he put the fruit pocket on the small cabinet next to the hospital bed.

"Call Uncle Cousin!" Lao Mu hurriedly greeted Mu Zhen, who was sitting on the hospital bed.

"Uncle Cousin!" Mu Zhen whispered.

"Well, does your head still hurt?" asked Daan kindly.

"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Mu Zhen shook her head.

"That's good! Rest a lot is good for recovery. Daan expressed great concern.

Lao Mu briefly described Mu Zhen's injury and the process of diagnosis and treatment to Da'an, and finally took a long breath and said, "This is really a natural disaster!"

"Don't mind too much, this kind of thing is inevitable, one of our classmates fell down because he grabbed his hand while spinning on the horizontal bar, and he almost died at that time, and he has not recovered by the time he graduates! Some things are purely coincidental and unavoidable! Accidents are inevitable, no matter what happens, the key is to look at them with what kind of mentality, and to look at these unexpected events with a normal heart. Da An wanted to comfort this eldest cousin who had been nervously stimulated through these things, and he must have his own reasons.

Seeing that there were other patients in the ward, Da'an motioned for Lao Mu to go out and say a few words.

Lao Mu comprehended, followed Da'an out of the ward, and came to the entrance of the corridor located outside the ward.

"When I came back from school, I reported to our local public security office, just waiting for the notice to go to work!" Da'an easily told Lao Mu his good news.

Lao Mu smiled, "This is very good!"

"People are a contradiction, please one end, it is inevitable to offend the other, the time I left school, it really made me sad, I could have stayed in the provincial capital, but I always felt that there was a hurdle that could not be crossed, and I couldn't give it up, so I still insisted on going back to my hometown. Isn't this coming back?" Da'an paused.

"It's good to be back, there are some of your old leaders in the local area, and things are much easier to do!" Lao Mu said this, Da'an's face sank slightly, these words obviously touched on Da'an's sore spots, Lao Mu saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly changed his words, "Tell me about your thoughts and plans?"

"Destiny is hard to disobey, and things at work are waiting to be distributed. Da An paused and then said: "The most important thing at the moment is my marriage with Hui Qin, listen to her family, I can't wait for a moment, I want us to get married as soon as possible, I want to hear your opinion?"

"I don't have any ideas, we can figure out what other people mean, but what does my aunt mean?"

"Your aunt and Hui Qin's family also want to get married as soon as possible, but there is a matter of concern in the family! Da An rubbed his hands together, "I thought about going to work for a while first, and then I would get married, so as not to let the marriage distract me from my work......!"

"What's going on?" Lao Mu asked eagerly when he heard some surprise.

"Alas, this is a trouble!" Da'an sighed, "The more I'm afraid of extraneous branches, the more evil things will happen!"

"Don't do anything else, or I don't think there's a way to end it!" When Lao Mu heard this, he suddenly felt bad, and folded his hands together.

"It really happened to be a peach blossom luck, the day I went to report, I happened to meet Wang Yanqing, a deputy secretary when I was a correspondent in the commune, the deputy secretary of the year was very good to me, he was still the school he helped me choose, speaking of which is also a kind person to us, he is now the leader of the construction committee, he is very enthusiastic to see me, and repeatedly invited me to his home as a guest, it was a good thing, after all, it was the leader of the year, and enthusiasm should be. Who knew that the next morning, Sister Ma, who used to work together in the commune, came to me and wanted to introduce me to a partner, who was talking about Wang Jing, the daughter of Secretary Wang Yanqing.

"What else can I say, forget it, why are you still stubbornly entangled?" said Lao Mu's eyes widened.

"Sister Ma is not an ordinary person, her big name, but the unit can say that it will be famous, the flat can be said to be round, and the dead can be said to be alive, as long as it is something she is optimistic about, there must be a result. Besides, this marriage was also arranged by the leader to introduce it to her. Speaking of this, Da'an's eyes showed a little helplessness.

"Sister Ma told me at the beginning how Secretary Wang valued me back then, and never treated me as an outsider, during my college years in the past few years, Secretary Wang has also been thinking about me, now I have graduated, there is this idea, it is really not easy, after all, people are just such a baby girl, although she is not Xi Shi in the world, she is also like a flower, many people can't catch up, many matchmakers have introduced a few, and people don't necessarily look at it. Now Secretary Wang values me so much, and intends to recruit me as a son-in-law, this matter is troublesome, I don't know how to face the old leader, the only way is to get married as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know what will happen in the future. What do you say?" Da'an said all his thoughts in one breath, and finally pushed the decision to Lao Mu, who was listening a little distracted.

"This, this matter is a lifelong event, and I have to discuss it with my aunt before deciding!" Lao Mu was a little flustered, and then stabilized his emotions and said.

"If the major events of life are uncertain, it will cause death, and at that time, I can't bear it!" Da'an's eyes when he said this were obviously a little confused and helpless.

"What does Hui Qin's family mean?" Lao Mu really came back to his senses at this time.

"Her family is really in a hurry to get married!"

"Then hurry up and prepare Zhang Luo, Zhang Luo. Lao Mu knows that if this marriage is not done, his own troubles are really behind, and when the time comes, if he really makes a fuss like Da'an said, it will be even more difficult for things to end.

"It has been four or five years since the initial introduction of this marriage, during this period, Huiqin and her family have been very good to me, so that I can't say a 'no', and the marriage is only a matter of the last few days.

"According to our customs, it is nothing more than passing the day, inviting a matchmaker, giving a dowry, holding a wedding, and whether you should ask a gentleman to pinch it at a specific time. At the moment, I think I can skip the step of inviting a matchmaker, and as for the dowry, it is just a formality. There is a saying in the township, 'ten miles are different', no matter how good we discuss, if Huiqin's customs are different, it is best to discuss it with her family before deciding!"

Da'an nodded, "I'll go to Huiqin's house as soon as I get home and discuss it with her family." Go back and help me think about what else I need to prepare for the next step!"

Lao Mu took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, put it in his mouth, and then wanted to take out a match from another pocket, with a "zi" sound, the match was burning, and when he was about to touch the cigarette butt on his mouth, he suddenly thought of the scene when he first came to the nurse for smoking, and the hand holding the burning matchstick stopped in mid-air, and waved his hand in the air with understanding, the fire was extinguished, and he threw the matchstick aside, and took down the cigarette roll in his mouth and stuffed it into his pocket.

Daan looked at Lao Mu's actions, feeling that Lao Mu was thinking something, and did not speak, lest he interrupt Lao Mu's train of thought.

"I think that's the only way, you go home and go to the commune as soon as possible to apply for the registration certificate, this is the most important thing, after registration, everything will be easy to say!"

"Why have I forgotten this! Then I'll go to the commune tomorrow. After Da'an finished speaking, he took out a ten-yuan bill from his trouser pocket and handed it to Lao Mu.

"When I came, your aunt specially brought it to you, so that you could eat well here, and specially reminded me to tell you, don't let yourself be embarrassed, the child's incident has happened, and you can't hurt your body because of this. ”

"I received my aunt's wishes, I can't ask for this money, you are busy with marriage now, when you need money, I can't spend a few dollars here, the child is no longer in trouble, it is estimated that he will be discharged from the hospital in a few days!" Lao Mu said, pushing Da'an's hand back to hand over the money.

"It's not that you don't know your aunt's temper, let me give it to you, if you don't get it, you have to be criticized when you go back, which makes it impossible for me to go back! Don't embarrass me!" Da An smiled and handed over the money again.

Lao Mu knew this aunt's temper too well, and he had always said that when she was the captain of the women's team in the village, the women of the whole village were afraid of her! Lao Mu took the money and said, "Give a message to my aunt, and say that the child is recovering well and there is no major problem, so as not to worry her old man." ”

"I will, now I will go to Huiqin's house to discuss the registration tomorrow. I'll stop soon!" With that, he turned and walked downstairs.

Lao Mu looked at Da'an's back as he went downstairs, thoughtfully, sighed softly, and muttered in a low voice, "This thing is done!"

After Da'an left, Lao Mu's heart was a little blocked, and he saw that his son was okay in the ward, so he went down the ward building alone, came to the small flower bed in the hospital and sat down, smoked a cigarette, and lit it slowly.

He looked at this figure with bated breath, full of white hair, although he was close to ancient times, but he was in good spirits, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, seeing him walking lightly, Lao Mu seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but move, leaned forward slightly, and wanted to stand up, but the old man had come to him and stopped.

"Are you?" the old man stopped in front of him, his face slightly surprised.

"Do you recognize me?" Lao Mu was very interested in the old man, although he looked familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it, so he continued to ask.

"Déjà vu, I look at you very familiarly!"

"Hehe!" Lao Mu smiled, "This is normal, I also have a public face!"

"Seeing that your face is confused, there must be something on your mind?" the old man said directly.

"Alas!" Lao Mu sighed, not knowing what to say.

"I have a relative, who is very good-looking, has just graduated from college, and is facing a marriage matter, I don't know what to do?" said this, Lao Mu took a hard puff of cigarette, and then puffed out a cloud of mist.

"This matter may seem complicated, but in fact, it should be like this, you don't know, 'people don't know, they don't know, if they know, they can't do it', what does this mean?"

Lao Mu was stunned, he really didn't understand for a while, and shook his head.

The old man explained slowly: "People, all day long, let the troubles outside the body be bound, but I don't know how, I don't know how to let go, if you can still think of letting go, that is or not really let go." What you encounter now, naturally, why bother thinking about him, when you don't think about it, it will be really over!"

Lao Mu understood that the old man's philosophy was to let go of many things in his heart in order to live easily.

"Thanks for the pointers. Lao Mu smiled and said softly.

The old man said again: "There is nothing to do today, I will show you the following photo, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Old Mu immediately became more and more interested in the old man's words, and hurriedly responded: "It's okay to talk about it!"

"Look at your square mouth and round nose, you must be a kind-hearted person, you are very eloquent, helpful, you are like a big tree, deep roots and leafy leaves, it is really your nature, you will definitely help many people in the future. The old man was about to continue, but an old woman came from behind him and shouted, "I don't know what to do, and I'm talking nonsense, don't believe him!" After speaking, he picked up the old man and left.

Lao Mu looked at the back of the old woman pulling the old man away, and felt that what the old man said really made some sense, he is now a teacher, isn't he helping others?

Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye to the hospital for six days, Mu Zhen's illness is no big deal, when the doctor gave the advice that you can be discharged from the hospital and go home to take some medicine, as soon as breakfast passed, Lao Mu went through the discharge procedures early and took Mu Zhen on the bus home.

As soon as he entered the house, Mu Bao ran to meet him, took Mu Zhen's hand, and was busy calling "brother", and looked at his brother's changes from time to time. Looking at the intimacy of the brothers, Lao Mu was really emotional, and his eyes felt a little moist.

Xiuhua, who was packing up in the room, heard the conversation between the brothers, hurriedly walked to the door of the house, and casually said, "Okay?"

Walking up to Xiuhua, Lao Mu did not answer Xiuhua's question directly, but asked in a low voice, "How is Da'an's marriage prepared?"

"Yesterday, our girl came, and she only said that she wanted to see the child, and she didn't mention the engagement, I don't know!"

"Then I have to go and see what I need to help?" said Lao Mu as he pushed out his half-new, half-used "Old Long March" from the house, and rode towards Liu Village like the wind.

When Lao Mu arrived in Liu Village, the sun was shining overhead.

After entering the village, the whole village heard the "squeak, squeak, squeak" cicadas, sharp and piercing, those dogs who used to come up to chase and run from afar, but now they only lie in the shade of the trees and stretch out their tongues to gasp, and even don't bother to open their mouths a few times. Lao Mu held the handlebar with one hand, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with the other hand, and saw a faint fog at the end of the street.

He suddenly felt that he could help when he came to the old aunt at this time, and he thought that he pushed the cart into the old aunt's door.

"Cousin, is this from home?" Wei Hong, who came out of the house, immediately greeted him.

"I just came back from the county seat, so let's see how busy you are, and see what I can do to help!" Lao Mu replied while inserting the "Old Long March" in the courtyard and entering the hall.

Lao Mu was stunned by the decoration in front of him, facing the newly hung middle hall, red style, two pairs of novices holding big red flowers, the couplet on both sides "Harmonious family spring is good, loving husband and wife are happy", the adjacent inner room is hung with embroidered red curtains, and the joy is full of the whole house.

"What about my aunt?" Lao Mu saw all this, but he didn't see anyone else.

"He took my brother to Uncle Zhao's house in the village to ask about the prime minister. It is estimated that I will be back soon, you can sit and wait for a while!" Wei Hong said, went to pick up the water cup on the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Lao Mu.

"Is this wedding date set?" asked Lao Mu with concern.

"Let the blind man Gao calculate, it is said that it is the sixteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and this is the tenth day of the first lunar month, so I have been a little dizzy in the past few days!" Wei Hong said angrily.

"Mu Zhen's body is fine, right?" Wei Hong asked with concern.

"It's not a big deal, I just came home from the hospital, I rushed over to take a look, I didn't expect to prepare so quickly!" Lao Mu was really a little surprised.

"A few days ago, my brother sent a telegram to my father, telling him about the marriage! He telegraphed back that he might not be able to come back if there was something wrong with the unit!

Lao Mu knows that his brother-in-law works in a coal mine in the south thousands of miles away from home, and although he is not a leader in the unit, he is a pacesetter in the production line of the unit. It's a bit hard to justify not coming back this time.

As soon as he spoke, he heard the voices of two people outside talking from far and near, and when they came to the courtyard, the familiar voice immediately told Lao Mu that Lao Gu and Da'an were back.

Lao Mu got up and came out, greeted each other, and entered the house.

"Just now I went to Lao Zhao, the prime minister in our village who is in charge of happy events, brought him two boxes of cigarettes, handed over the specific matters to him, and let him preside over all of them, and he promised very well, saying that he must do it for the good!"

After lunch, the matter was almost over, and finally the old aunt repeatedly told "Go home and take care of the children, here things, with the help of our neighbors, just wait for the wedding wine when the time comes!"

Lao Mu didn't mention it when he went home.
