Lao Mu rode to Qingcheng Middle School, it was time to get out of school, he was worried that when he met acquaintances, he would inevitably have to take a few words, and Mu Zhen's grades in school were not outstanding, which made him feel that he couldn't save face. He couldn't help but stop and stand on the side of the road at the school gate and watch the day students pour out of the school gate.

Although Lao Mu has intersections with the teachers here and knows a lot, he is not really familiar with many people, so he looks forward to the time when the school teacher eats after the students come out, go to Mu Zhen's class to find Mu Zhen, leave him some money, and go back immediately.

Just as he was pondering whether to ask the students who walked by where the classroom of the third grade was, he suddenly heard a voice: "Teacher Mu, who are you waiting for here?"

This voice made Lao Mu hear it very clearly, although he was not sure that this voice was greeting him, but the teacher surnamed Mu was not as big as Zhang Wang Li Liu after all, Lao Mu followed the voice and looked over.

"Teacher Xie, you are still home from school!" Lao Mu found Teacher Xie standing not far from him and hurriedly responded.

"Yes, you must have come to see the children, didn't you just finish the weekend yesterday? Why don't you miss the children after not seeing them for a day?" Teacher Xie smiled, walked to Lao Mu's side in two steps, and stretched out his hand to Lao Mu.

Lao Mu didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stretched out his right hand while moving forward, held the hand stretched out by Teacher Xie, and then reached into his pocket with his left hand and took out a cigarette, and when his right hand was released, he instantly took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Teacher Xie also hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it to Lao Mu.

"Smoke this of mine, you're welcome!" Lao Mu said and blocked Mr. Xie's hand to hand over the cigarette, handed the cigarette he smoked to Mr. Xie's hand, and then hurriedly took out another one and put it on his mouth, and at the same time quickly took out a match, swiped one, covered it with both hands, and sent it to Mr. Xie's mouth.

Teacher Xie hurriedly helped cover it, put the cigarette on his mouth against the faint flame of the match, and took two puffs violently, and a wisp of green smoke drifted from between the fingers of the two.

Lao Mu himself skillfully redrew a match and lit himself. The two struck up a conversation.

"It's been more than two weeks since I came, and I haven't seen my children go back, so I don't worry, so I came to see it!" Lao Mu explained.

"Yesterday, the third year of junior high school was all off, and everyone who should go home went home, didn't your child go back?" Teacher Xie looked a little puzzled.

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have to come to see him!" Lao Mu also felt a little unreasonable.

"Maybe it's because of study, isn't your child's name Mu Zhen?" Teacher Xie suddenly popped up Mu Zhen's name in his mind, and then went on to say it and confirm it here with Lao Mu.

"Yes, isn't he in your class?" Lao Mu remembered the conversation with Teacher Xie during the holidays.

"No, although the school year has not been open for a long time, your son's reputation in the office is not small, the first essay in the class, your son's composition let the whole office teachers know your son's name, and then the math test in the class, your son got a full score, it seems that your son is really smart. Teacher Xie said, a praising smile on his face.

"This has just begun, just like the Long March has not yet begun, and there is still a long way to go!" Lao Mu was not as excited about his son's excellent performance as he was when he heard about the excellent results in Binhu Middle School, the results can only represent the past, what can it mean to get a good score just once? So Lao Mu skillfully answered Teacher Xie's appreciation.

"Where are you talking about this, the final results of students are like building the Great Wall, and the excellent performance in any exam is like laying a foundation, and when the foundation is solid, the excellent results that come out in the end become inevitable!" Obviously, Teacher Xie had a little different opinion on Lao Mu's opinion.

"That's true, but his grades when he entered school were not satisfactory, and I was disappointed in him at the time!" Lao Mu couldn't help but express his worries.

"Although I didn't do well in the exam that time, maybe there was another reason?" Teacher Xie said and took a puff of cigarette, and before Lao Mu could reply, he said again: "Look, just talking, you go to the house with me to eat at noon, and come to see the child after eating." ”

"You're so polite, I'll be back to school in the afternoon, and I'll visit you later when I have time. Old Mu responded politely.

Teacher Xie stretched out his hand again, held Lao Mu's outstretched hand, and said, "Then you go in and find him, he should eat in the dormitory now, and the dormitory will go to the end along this road, the westernmost end of the row of rooms on the right." ”

"Thank you!" Lao Mu retracted his hand and waved goodbye to Teacher Xie with a smile. Go straight down the road to the gate.

The children after school were in a hurry, when Lao Mu and Teacher Xie were talking, all the day children had poured out of the school gate, the original bustling flow of people suddenly disappeared, and the central road leading to the school gate was empty.

Regarding Mr. Xie's mention of his son's achievements just now, although Lao Mu verbally said that the Long March has not yet started, he has added some confidence to his son's excellent performance in the past two weeks, and he feels that his guidance in the holiday has played a role again.

Lao Mu's speed of riding is not fast, he is afraid that there is a son among the few people who eat, so he turned his head to look, while riding slowly, closer, Lao Mu seems to have confirmed that his son is not among the few people in line, Lao Mu suddenly sped up, from the canteen to the last row of dormitories to walk for a few minutes, Lao Mu's eagerness, let him see his son's dormitory door in less than a minute, he stood on the west wall of the dormitory, parked the car there, and saw a classmate with a lunch box walking towards him, Lao Mu asked directly:" Classmate, do you know Mu Zhen?"

The classmate stood and looked at Lao Mu: "Mu Zhen is in this dormitory, you wait, I'll call him!" After speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the dormitory, and shouted loudly at the window: "Mu Zhen, someone is looking for you!"

"Oh!" the house agreed, and soon poked a head out of the door, looked out of the house, and then rushed out, and instantly stood in front of Lao Mu.

"Great, have you eaten?" Mu Zhen was a little surprised when she saw her father coming.

"No, you haven't been home for two weeks, do you still have living expenses?" Lao Mu's tone of voice contained twelve points of concern, just now Teacher Xie mentioned that Mu Zhen's changes in school have made Lao Mu's opinion of Mu Zhen turn one hundred and eighty degrees, and he feels that his son can still do it.

"Yes, I'm not short of money here!" Mu Zhen replied honestly.

Lao Mu opened his mouth wide in surprise: "When you came, the ten yuan your mother gave you has been two weeks, and you haven't spent it yet, are you reluctant to spend it?"

"How can you be reluctant to spend it, isn't it not finished?" Mu Zhen still showed great composure. In fact, how did Lao Mu know that the fifty yuan that Tiancheng gave to Mu Zhen is now working, and after spending the living expenses given to him by his mother, what is now spent is the money given by Tiancheng at that time.

"I haven't spent ten yuan for two weeks, don't save so much!" Lao Mu was a little puzzled, and privately thought that his son was embarrassed to ask for money from the family, and he was reluctant to spend it here, speaking of which, his eyes suddenly felt a little moist, and he immediately took out ten yuan and handed it to Mu Zhen: "Give you another ten yuan, don't be reluctant to spend it, I'll send it to you again if I don't have it!"

"I won't spend money indiscriminately, except for spending some money on life, I don't need to spend money on anything else, it's far from the town, even if I want to spend it, there is no place to spend it, rest assured, I will take care of myself." Mu Zhen saw Lao Mu's eyes and immediately confessed in a very affirmative tone.

"Okay, I'll not stop, there are still a lot of things going on in school in the afternoon, you can take care of yourself and I can rest assured!" After speaking, he pushed the car and turned around and walked towards the gate.

Mu Zhen looked at the back of Lao Mu in the distance, if he realized, he reproduced the "Back" written by Zhu Ziqing in front of him, and the back of the old Mu in the distance suddenly became taller, it was not only the back of love, but also the solid arm that held him forward, it was this arm that made him ride on this arm to watch the wonderful movie - "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", it was this arm that allowed him to come step by step in his studies, Mu Zhen rubbed his eyes, turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
