Chapter 186: Desire to Dream
Hu Guoqing is very envious of the harmony of Mu Zhen's family, especially Mu Bao's liveliness and cuteness, which makes Hu Guoqing think of his mother and sister, are they okay now?
Mu Zhen saw that Hu Guoqing was speechless, and immediately greeted: "What do you think?"
"No, I didn't think about anything!" Hu Guoqing hurriedly replied.
"You stay here tonight, and I'll stay with you too!" Mu Bao said to Mu Zhen a little pleadingly.
"Aren't you afraid we'll kick you to the ground?" Mu Zhen frightened.
"I'm leaning against the wall in the innermost, can you still kick out of the wall if you want to?" Mu Zhen rolled his eyes and said smartly.
"Let him live with us! It will be lively at night!" Hu Guoqing looked at Mu Bao's naughty appearance and liked it from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, let's come, but you have to let our mother prepare a quilt for you, otherwise we can't be in a quilt, who is responsible for freezing and catching a cold?" Mu Zhen saw that Hu Guoqing agreed, and he also agreed with Mu Bao's idea.
"Then I'll go home and tell my mother now!" Mu Bao finished speaking, turned around and ran towards the door.
"Look at you, be careful of falling!" Mu Zhen reminded in a loud voice, but Mu Bao didn't seem to hear it at all, not even an echo.
"Tomorrow is the last of the 24 solar terms - it's cold, and it's also the coldest day of the year, we will be there in the evening, maybe it's not as warm as staying in your house!" Mu Zhen saw that Mu Bao was already far away, and turned back to Hu Guoqing and said.
"We are brothers, just like Mu Bao, he can live with us, don't you know, am I still afraid of the cold?" Hu Guoqing responded.
The two sat on the edge of the bed and talked to each other about the topic of wandering around the village today, unconsciously, the winter night has quietly fallen, it was dark outside, Mu Zhen raised his hand and pulled the light switch, the tungsten lamp in the house emitted a dark red light, at this time it was the time when thousands of households were using electricity, the phenomenon of insufficient voltage was particularly obvious, Mu Zhen looked up at the dim light, sighed and said: "In the past, the kerosene lamp was replaced by an electric lamp, which is a big progress, but I didn't expect that the lack of voltage will become a new problem now?"
"Society is always progressing, and everyone yearns for upstairs and downstairs, and electric lights and telephones may soon arrive! Hu Guoqing was full of confidence in the future development and responded to Mu Zhen with comforting words.
Mu Zhen was just about to reply, when he heard Mu Bao's shout from outside the door: "Brother, go home for dinner!" With the shouting, Mu Bao pushed the door in.
The three of them closed the door and walked towards their home with a smile and a smile.
The clear night sky in winter is full of stars blinking in the cold. After dinner, the three of them admired the stars in the cold night, talking and laughing, although they were not brothers, they were as unrestrained as brothers, Xiuhua specially prepared a quilt, made a bed for them, and repeatedly told them not to forget to plug in the door before going to bed, the brothers promised to send Xiuhua away, and then returned to the bed and laughed, and then got into the quilt early.
After a night of speech, Hu Guoqing saw that there was no one left and right after breakfast, and reminded Mu Zhen: "Didn't we say yesterday that we would go to Ma Sanye's house again?
"It's okay to go to his house at any time, but there has to be a reason, you can't come to the door for no reason, and besides, he and we are old friends, and the age gap is really like a world away, and there is no topic to go, how embarrassing!" Mu Zhen's reason sounded very sufficient.
"It's easy to find a topic, but will he talk to me?" Hu Guoqing said a little worriedly.
"As long as it's a topic he's interested in, there's naturally no problem, and I've talked to him about reading before, and I've been able to talk about it very well, but what are we talking about this time?" Mu Zhen said thoughtfully.
"Yesterday, I read the "Kangxi Dictionary" he took, this is the topic, let's talk about the topics he likes, and naturally we can talk about some deep topics!" Hu Guoqing said with an idea.
"As long as there is a topic or an introduction, you can naturally talk about it!" Mu Zhen felt that since Hu Guoqing wanted to go to Ma Sanye, there would naturally be something to talk about, and he would also find a topic to talk about, besides, Hu Guoqing and Ma Sanye still have a déjà vu?
"Let's go, let's go now!" Mu Zhen finished speaking, pulled up Hu Guoqing and left.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I met Mu Bao, who ran back from the road, and when I saw the two of them going out, I immediately became interested: "Where is my brother going?"
"Do we have to tell you where we're going?" Mu Zhen felt that at home, Mu Bao was like his tail, he wanted to follow wherever he went, and he couldn't shake it off.
"I want to go with you too!" Mu Bao looked a little pitiful.
"Just go!" Hu Guoqing agreed very simply.
"We agreed, he didn't dare to go!" Mu Zhen said in a somewhat mocking tone.
"What don't you dare to go, is there any place in our village that we don't dare to go?" Mu Bao heard Hu Guoqing agree to follow him, and immediately had confidence when he answered, and instantly became confident.
"Let's go to Ma Sanye's house, will you go?" Mu Zhen deliberately stimulated Mu Baodao.
"Why did you go to his house again?" Mu Bao didn't believe it, and then asked, "Didn't you go there yesterday, why did you go to his house today?"
"How can there be so many problems, we have something to say to him, do you want to go?" Mu Zhen was a little embarrassed, in fact, in his heart, Mu Zhen didn't want Mu Bao to follow, after all, the three of them went, it seemed that there were a little more people, and Ma Sanye didn't necessarily like it, so he deliberately said something that made Mu Bao retreat.
I never thought that this Mu Bao really didn't eat Mu Zhen's set, his neck was stalked, and he said in a loud voice: "I'll go, follow you to decide, don't think I'm afraid of him, they're all people, I'm afraid of him, and I didn't want to go yesterday, and I'm not afraid!"
Mu Zhen and Hu Guoying were amused by Mu Bao's slightly angry look.
"Who said you were afraid? It's just that you didn't say anything about 'ghost sorrow' yesterday?" Mu Zhen's words were like what people often say, "which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned", which aroused Mu Bao's temperament even more.
"That's all what the children in the village said, and I followed what they said, but with you, I don't have to worry about anything!"
"You can really quibble!" Mu Zhen finally had no way to convince the little brother in front of him, so he had to continue: "You can go, the third chapter of the law, you can only listen there, you can't interject indiscriminately! This is the first chapter; the second chapter is that after you go, you can't touch other people's things, no matter what it is, you are not allowed to touch it; is this the third chapter?"
Mu Zhen pondered for a moment: "This third chapter is that you can't run around after you go, you can't just run away, you have to insist on listening to us there!"
Mu Zhen's words originally didn't want Mu Bao to follow, but as soon as these three chapters were exported, Mu Bao immediately said: "These three chapters are no problem, don't say that you stipulate three chapters, if I want to go, you just stipulate five chapters, I still have to go, you can't stop it!"
"Okay, let's not say anything, let's go now!" Mu Zhen spread his hands and grimaced at Mu Bao and said.
Hu Guoqing saw the brothers arguing there, he didn't interrupt them, just listened silently, and heard that Mu Zhen agreed, of course he was very happy, after all, from the first time he saw this brother who was six or seven years younger than himself, he liked him in his heart.
