The two classes in the afternoon made Mu Zhen very relaxed, a history class, said to be a class, in fact, it was just a review of the lessons learned in the previous two years, the history teacher's surname is Yuan, because he had been in primary school in Xiaowangzhuang, he has a special feeling for the people and things in Xiaowangzhuang, and there are a few people in the old Mu family who are classmates with Teacher Yuan. It is precisely based on this that listening to the people of the clan tell the story of this teacher Yuan, it is really like listening to a book.

Teacher Yuan was talented, all the homework in the class can be one of the best, and later admitted to the normal school, in the school, has been published in the national literary journal novella, by the school's attention, graduation, the school decided to let him stay in school to teach, because he is a filial son, six sisters, five sisters, the family is such a boy, the old mother needs his care, so he came to this middle school to teach, after graduation, he published news in newspapers and magazines at all levels, There is a lot of prose, and then for some reason, he closed the pen, it is said that it was because of the death of his mother, which made him grief-stricken, so he stopped writing, and thus, he became a well-known filial son. This teacher's insights into life far exceeded what everyone knew about him, and his interpretation of literature went far beyond his history lessons.

Another class is the legal knowledge class, the substitute teacher is Han Suqing, he is the political teacher of the four classes of the third grade of junior high school, not to mention the temptation of Mu Zhen in the legal knowledge class, in fact, the most tempting is not the course itself, but the teacher who is not smiling, his temptation is not affinity, but the dedication, devotion and dedication to the profession of a teacher. Teacher Han, who has reached middle age, compared with other teachers, the biggest difference is that his identity is still a private teacher, the huge gap in income, has not reduced his love and passion for the profession, every morning, before dawn, he is the first to come to the office, clean the office, boil the first pot of boiling water for everyone, and then go to the dormitory of the third grade class to wake up the students who are still sleeping in the dream, the third grade classroom has begun twenty minutes of Langlang reading, the school's deafening wake-up electric bell will be" Beep beep" rang out. The students who stayed last year called him "Zhou Papi", and this year's students gave him a more civilized name - smelling the chicken and dancing. Either way, everyone was not disgusted by his approach, and they all thought that his approach was a manifestation of responsibility to the students.

The first thing Mu Zhen did after class was to grab his textbook and run towards the riverbank, so that he could go to the river to enjoy the tranquility of the riverbank and taste the fun of the book in nature, and second, he could meet his shepherd boy and appreciate his masterpieces.

The moment Mu Zhen walked out of the classroom, he immediately rushed directly to the riverbank outside the school like a wild horse, every day when he stood on the riverbank, he would be cheerful, and he would feel as cool as brainwashing, although the grass and trees on the riverbank had not changed, but in Mu Zhen's eyes, these trees were emotional, the clear river water was aura, people could not do without the clear river, everything in the world could not do without water, Mu Zhen's closeness to the river water, sometimes to the point of being unable to extricate himself, so that he had to take off his clothes and jump off the clear river water to swim。

Standing on the water's bank, Mu Zhen likes the clarity of the river, the clear at a glance, the river that reflects his reflection is like a mirror, so that people can read the connotation of the water at a glance, without the slightest hypocrisy, without any miscellaneous dust in it; when he gets into the river, he likes the coolness of the river and feels the silkiness of the river, which is incomparable to any cosmetics in the world, and occasionally a few unknown small fish swim in, touching every inch of his skin from time to time, producing a refreshing numb, which is endlessly evocative; lying on the water, he likes the bearing of the river, his eyes are slightly closed, his whole body is open, and when he lies flat on the water, only the five holes of his face are left outside, and the rest of his body is immersed in the waterAt this time, what he enjoyed was a bit of tranquility, the tranquility of returning to nature from the world, the breeze blowing, the water waves rippling, and the water waves rushing to his face made him think that the water in the world can carry the boat and overturn the boat is not the water itself, but the help of the external wind.

When Mu Zhen sat on the second beach at the bottom of the river embankment, she never forgot her purpose here - to study. He took out his textbook and read it carefully, he had forgotten where he was, where his heart was, and in his mind, he only had this union of heaven and earth, and he was sitting in the union reading books that even saints could not read.

After about half an hour, Mu Zhen stood up and looked in the direction of the bend of the river, it was still endless green, and he didn't see the sheep he wanted to see, let alone the shepherd boy in his heart, Hu Guoqing. He was a little puzzled, yesterday he promised to send his composition, but today he missed the appointment, this is Hu Guoqing's first missed appointment, Mu Zhen sat down a little disappointed, still reading the textbook in his hand.

Just as Mu Zhen was engrossed in reading the textbook in his hand, a person appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Mu Zhen, which made Mu Zhen, who occasionally raised his head, startled, and a spirit stood up from the grass.

The person in front of him, Mu Zhen had never seen before, he didn't look tall, and his dark face made people see at a glance that it was the crystallization of years of labor in the fields. Mu Zhen was a little puzzled, and looked left and right, there was no one on the second beach, only the two of them.

"What do you want to do?" Before anyone could speak, Mu Zhen asked, Mu Zhen felt that in broad daylight, he had no grudges with him, and it seemed that he was not here to find anything for him.

"I'll just ask if your name is Mu Zhen?" the man asked suddenly.

"Yes, how do you know my name?" Mu Zhen stared at the man's every move a little puzzled, just in case something unexpected happened.

I saw that the man took out a cloth bag from his pocket, then opened the elastic mouth of the cloth bag, took out a carefully folded paper from it, and handed it to Mu Zhen: "This is what Hu Guoqing asked me to hand over to you." ”

Mu Zhen's heart tightened, if there was nothing wrong, why didn't he come by himself?

"What's wrong with him, why don't you come in person?" asked Mu Zhen hurriedly.

"His father is no longer good, he accompanied his family to the hospital, so when he leaves, give me this folded paper and let me give it to you?" said the man with a blank face.

"Who are you?"

"I was his neighbor, and he called me Grandpa. The visitor sighed and said.

"What's wrong with his father?" Mu Zhen then asked.

"Hey, I had a stroke before I was forty years old, and I was paralyzed in bed two years ago, and I missed the opportunity for treatment at that time, so I lay in bed for nearly two years, and his mother was pulling three children alone, and I had to take care of the patients in bed, which was enough to suffer, just this morning, I suddenly became seriously ill, and he may not be able to herd sheep in the next few days!" Although there were only a few words, the person who came spoke very heavily.

Mu Zhen was also inconvenient to ask more, and immediately felt that Hu Guoqing was a loving and trustworthy person, even when his father was about to leave, he did not forget the friends who were waiting for him here.

He has always studied very well, but his mother really can't take care of the family alone, so she persuaded him to drop out of school and help the family with farm work at home. When he was asked to leave school, he cried to death, everyone saw that his family was pitiful, and spontaneously donated some money, but it was not difficult to save the first aid, no, his father still couldn't do it. He's also a hard-working child!" said the man with a helpless face.

Mu Zhen's eyes were full of tears when he heard this, when he heard Hu Guoqing talk about the misfortune in the family, he didn't realize that he had encountered such a big problem, and felt that his father's illness would get better sooner or later, but it would take time, he had thought more than once that he would return to class like Niu Guoqing in the class, and sit in the classroom with everyone else to read with peace of mind.

The visitor looked at Mu Zhen, and then said: "You are also a good person, when we chatted, he often mentioned you to me, saying that you are a good scholar and will do great things in the future. ”

Mu Zhen felt that the person in front of him should be of great help to Hu Guoqing, otherwise Hu Guoqing would not have entrusted him to deliver the letter: "Thank you, you are also a good person, and it is also a blessing for him to have you as his neighbor." ”

When someone heard Mu Zhen say this, he immediately said: "Everyone is a good person, there are still many kind-hearted people in the world, everyone helps if one person is in trouble, as long as I can help, I will spare no effort to help." ”

Mu Zhen saw that it was not early, he hurriedly said goodbye to the visitor and walked to the school, he no longer had the mood when he came, replaced by sadness and depression.
