Unlike when he came, the ice on the road had melted a little, and the clay of his hometown had taken on its own characteristics, and soon the two wheels of the bicycle were covered with mud, and Lao Mu had to stop and find a dry stick on the side of the road to pick the mud that was firmly stuck from under the wheels.

"Hey, isn't this Teacher Mu?" A woman's voice made Lao Mu, who was squatting there, raise his head suddenly, and saw the woman who greeted him standing in the middle of the road, looking about thirty years old, with a medium build, a round face, with a mushroom head common to school students, and a pair of big eyes staring straight at him, very expressive.

"Are you?" Lao Mu looked familiar, but he couldn't remember the name of the woman standing in front of him, and only vaguely remembered that this should have been his student.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, of course you can't remember, my name is Tian Yingju, I lived in my aunt's house and studied with you back then, do you remember?" Tian Yingju said as she took two steps forward and came to Lao Mu.

"Tian Yingju!" Lao Mu repeated, and said thoughtfully: "Remember, your aunt is in our village, and Tianshun is your aunt, right!"

"Yes, they're all right, I haven't been to their house for some years, it's not just two days after I came back from the Northeast, and before I had time to move around, it snowed so much, I went to the market today to buy some things, and I'm going to visit you!" Tian Yingju hurriedly explained.

"Have you been back to the Northeast for so many years?" Lao Mu immediately thought that when he first picked up the whip, the only girl from other places in the class was Tian Yingju in front of him.

"You're here to visit your relatives?" asked Lao Mu a little confused.

"My mother-in-law's house is from our Dongzhen Village, and since my in-laws are at home, I will come back every year to live for a few days!" Tian Yingju said very cheerfully.

"Dongzhen Village, are you in Dongzhen Village?" asked Lao Mu in surprise.

"What, do you have acquaintances there?" Tian Yingju looked at Lao Mu's eyes and asked a little strangely.

"I really inquired about someone, saying that it was the old man in your village, do you know him?"

"Know, of course I know, he lives in an alley with my in-laws, and he and my father-in-law haven't come out of the third suit, according to the generation, I still have to call him the second uncle!" Tian Yingju's answer made Lao Mu even more surprised, and he thought to himself: "Look at this world, it is said that it is big, it is difficult to meet acquaintances when it is so big, it is said that when you are small, you can meet two destined people in less than a mile!"

Lao Mu squatted a little tired, stood up and said, "I heard that Old Man Chang is a celebrity in your village?"

"Celebrity, I haven't heard of this, I just know that he is a warm-hearted person in the village, whoever has something to do, as long as he finds him, it is a powerful contribution, and there is money to contribute, he is such a person, some people say that he is nosy, he is happy all day long, and he never cares about others, in fact, he is not a celebrity!" Tian Yingju said that the old man really knew something.

"I heard that his son was beaten!" Lao Mu then asked.

"You also know this, his son is really not like him, he didn't finish junior high school, he went to school at home, followed a few young people from the neighboring village, he didn't study well, he either drank or walked the alleys all day long, and had nothing to do, if nothing happened, then it was called weird? Let's talk about this beating, I heard that he was beaten the night before the snow, and he was hospitalized for two days, and the people from the police station went to his house yesterday, and I don't know why, anyway, it's not a good thing, and I don't know the specifics!" Tian Yingju seemed to say something like a treasure, so that Lao Mu immediately understood the situation of Old Man Chang's son.

"Children, it is inevitable to make a mistake, the tree is naturally straight, and after two years, if you have the eyes of an adult, you won't want to cause trouble!" Lao Mu heard Tian Yingju's words, and deliberately dealt with a few words lightly.

"Yes, you see, just talk to you, I'll help you push the cart!"

"No need, you're still busy with your business, I'll just come by myself, after this section, there is the road over there, and it's not so difficult to walk. Lao Mu said, waving his hand to Tian Yingju and signaling her to go about her own business.

Tian Yingju was polite again, then greeted Lao Mu, turned around and walked towards the market.

Lao Mu hesitated for a moment, and originally wanted to ask something more, but seeing that Tian Yingju had turned around, he was speechless, and continued to squat down and pick at the mud, but his heart was not calm: This old man Chang is very popular, and his son is naturally not bad, but he is still young now, and he doesn't know anything, otherwise, how can he help him to abuse? I should help him, I can't let kind people chill their hearts, and I can't let Old Man Chang's son be imprisoned at such a young age! Lao Mu thought in his heart and stood up, took a deep breath, pushed up the cart and ran forward.
