Since the old Mu family built the house, Yang Qinglin has not returned home, and rests in the temporary shack at the construction site every night.

When Lao Mu and Xiuhua arrived at home, Mu Yan was packing up the tableware, and when she saw her parents coming back, Mu Yan hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve the food she had left.

"We just finished eating, the meal was not cold, and my grandfather was not worried about the materials on the construction site, so he was in a hurry to go to the construction site after eating. Mu Yan said while preparing the dishes and chopsticks.

"Where's your brother?" asked Xiuhua.

"He followed his grandfather to our construction site!" Mu Yan replied.

Lao Mu didn't say a word, maybe he was a little hungry after running so many roads, and as soon as he sat down, he ate the steamed buns in a big gulp.

Xiuhua looked at Lao Mu as if he hadn't eaten for a few days, and reminded: "Slow down, don't choke!"

Lao Mu still didn't say anything.

"What's the matter, it looks like I'm fainting from hunger!" Xiuhua said again.

"Hurry up, I'm going to talk to my uncle about something after eating!" Lao Mu obviously has something on his mind, the two chatted very happily along the way, how did they get home but it seemed to be a different person, Xiuhua felt very puzzled, when Lao Mu mentioned that he wanted to talk to his father about something, he had a hunch that Lao Mu didn't know what to worry about, after all, he was a man, and he would always think about so much about one thing.

Xiuhua ate a little with Lao Mu, and then called Mu Yan to clean up the leftovers on the table.

"Close the door at home, let's go to our construction site to pick up your brother!!" Xiuhua said, accompanying Lao Mu to the construction site.

When he arrived at the construction site of the house, Lao Mu saw Yang Qinglin sitting outside the temporary shack by moonlight.

"Grandpa, do you say that Chang'e on the moon will come down?" Mu Bao asked Yang Qinglin's words and was heard by Lao Mu, and before Yang Qinglin could answer, Lao Mu said: "Chang'e is just a mythical character, made up by people, so it doesn't exist at all, how can you say it will come down?"

"According to you, isn't that a lie?" Mu Bao asked Lao Mu.

"This is a story, the story is all fake, not credible, but he is just explaining a truth to people, and also expressing people's yearning and pursuit, follow your mother home to do your homework, otherwise you will be sleepy for a while, and you will not be able to write!"

"I'm done with my homework!!" Mu Bao said reluctantly.

"Go home and go to bed after writing, don't pester your grandfather here!" Lao Mu said in a slightly impatient voice.

Yang Qinglin heard that Lao Mu's voice contained resentment, and immediately made a round and said to Xiuhua: "Child, I have to go to school tomorrow, you take him home to rest, and we will say a few words." ”

Xiuhua came to take Mu Bao back, worried that Mu Bao would affect Lao Mu and his father to talk about things here, so she lied to Mu Bao and said: "Your sister is scared at home, come home with me to accompany your sister." After speaking, he took Mu Bao's hand and walked home.

Although Mu Bao didn't know what to say, he still followed Xiuhua very reluctantly.

"Uncle, we just went to school. Lao Mu said to Yang Qinglin.

"I heard Mu Yan say, did you hear anything at school?" Yang Qinglin asked with concern.

Lao Mu told him in detail what he had learned from Liu Xuchang and Zhang Ran, and finally said: " This matter may not be as complicated as we think, at least this liar is not Mu Zhen's classmate, Mu Zhen has been in school since he was a child, and his courage is a little small, so he will not easily cause trouble, as for today's matter, there are all kinds of situations, but we see this matter as complicated, so we think about it a lot, I think you don't have to go to school tomorrow, I believe that if the liar goes to deceive Mu Zhen, it is just a good exercise of Mu Zhen's ability to distinguish between good and bad, there is no need to remind him, it is like a soldier!"

After Lao Mu finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it, wanting to hear Yang Qinglin's opinion.

Yang Qinglin borrowed the light of Lao Mu's match, and saw Lao Mu's face, expressionless, and his muscles were tense, obviously Lao Mu was still in thought.

"This matter, it seems complicated, in fact, it is very simple, the key is the mentality, when I went home for dinner, I heard Mu Yan say that you go to school, which reminds me of a past event that has been sinking in my heart for many years. "Yang Qinglin was also an old man when he was young, and he was better than others when he spoke.

"What is the past?" Lao Mu immediately looked at the old father-in-law in front of him.

"Speaking of this, it was a past event when I was young, this past event because there was no loss at the time, so many years, I have never told anyone, in fact, this past is very similar to today's incident, when I was young, I went out with people to do some small business, often went home once a month or two, and the longest time was half a year to go home, that is, that year, the transportation was inconvenient, the round-trip time was too long, and I was inevitably missed by my family outside. Yang Qinglin paused for a moment, and then said: "Once, I have been out for more than three months, and an uninvited guest suddenly came to my house, claiming to the old man at home to be my friend, saying that I fell ill in a foreign inn, not only did I have no money for treatment, but I didn't even have the money to go home, so I wanted to take some travel expenses from home and take it with me!"

"Do you know this person?" Lao Mu interjected.

"He doesn't know me at all, but he says it all the way. The old mother of the family was very anxious when she heard this, and wanted to raise some money immediately for him to carry, wouldn't that be exactly what this person wanted, but the old father didn't believe his words, so he said to him, if you know where my son is, then why don't you lend him some money for him, and then follow him to the house to get some money, why find a home to pick it up now, which not only delays the illness, but also increases the cost of staying in the hotel?" Yang Qinglin was choked by the smoke spewed out by Lao Mu, and coughed twice in succession, interrupting what he had just said.

"It seems that the old man has a lot of brains!" Mu Zhen took advantage of this free time to praise the old man.

"How much does he know a few words, and he also knows a little bit about the rivers and lakes, where can he be easily fooled?" After Yang Qinglin finished saying this, he looked up at the sky and continued: "The old man's words made the liar speechless, and he actually said, I will report to you, don't you give me two dollars?"

"Hehe!" Lao Mu laughed when he heard this, and said: "I also want to reward money, if you don't break the dog's legs, it's already good!"

"The old man said more reliable, said that the reward is still to have, you wait a minute, I will go to let people borrow a few, after saying that I went out to arrange for the family, to the village chief to report, and bring a few people, turn back the old man will keep him at home, pull the family routine, waiting for the village chief to bring people to come, but the person is waiting a little anxious, proposed to go back first, come again tomorrow, after saying that, get up and leave, just to the door to meet the village chief to lead people in, immediately twisted the person, pressed to the ground. Yang Qinglin said this and stopped.

"Is it any wonder that you know today that you are a liar as soon as you hear it?" said Old Mu.

"The rest of the matter, it seems that you know it if I don't say it, but after the interrogation of the village chief, this liar has not even seen me in person, but only hearsay that he knows that I have been out for a long time and have not come back, and asked people about my name and where I live? Yang Qinglin put a question mark on Lao Mu.

"There's nothing strange about it, after all, it was a chaos at that time, and if you go for so long, you will inevitably have an accident if you are away for a long time, and it is normal for people to take advantage of loopholes. Lao Mu analyzed.

"Yes, that's it, my family was a little worried about me, it just happened, I came home the next day, when my family told me about it, I smiled, and told them that I was fortunate that I was back, otherwise I don't know why I should worry about me?" Yang Qinglin stopped again, as if he had set aside time for Lao Mu to ask.

"Then what happened to this liar!" Lao Mu became interested in the liar and asked anxiously.

"What can I do, I finally let it go, that year, the people of the government were panicked, how could I care about this, I came back safely, the family didn't have to worry, and then the family no longer let me go out, and helped me to marry, so I never left the house again, and I never went out. Yang Qinglin sighed and said.

"Then our matter may really be the same as what you said, the difference is that the money was cheated away, although it is not much, but there is no need for us to make a noise, so as not to make people laugh!" said Lao Mu and snuffed out the cigarette butt.

"So this thing is not as terrible as we think, what is terrible is that it scared us all, I may not be wrong not to go out at that time, but now for us Mu Zhen, there is no need to make a fuss, I agree with you, you don't have to go to school tomorrow, let's cover this matter, just stop it!" Yang Qinglin mentioned this past, showing that he had thought deeply about this matter, and agreed with Lao Mu's opinion.

The two talked about building a house again, and Lao Mu said goodbye to Yang Qinglin and went home.
