In the blink of an eye, it's the weekend, Mu Zhen hasn't been home for four weeks, he doesn't miss home at all, home is just a place for his relatives to live, everything else seems to have nothing to do with him, just like he did in Gucheng No. 1 Middle School, he doesn't have any desire for home, he is willing to stay in school, with teachers, Classmates together, what a wonderful time it was, there are like-minded friends, there are teachers who teach and teach, and there is a free living space, except for the time in class, almost every minute is his own, Mu Zhen feels that he has grown up, he can completely control his own time, he likes this kind of freedom, he likes to arrange everything independently, and because of this, he does not want to go home to face his father's tepid eyes, and he does not want to listen to his mother's endless advice.

Mu Zhen had lunch, and did not rush to pack up his things and set foot on the way home like other students, but first went to the classroom to seriously finish the homework assigned in the morning class, and was about to get up and go home, Hu Guoqing happened to come to the classroom after eating, and looked at him in surprise: "Why haven't you gone home yet?"

"I'm about to leave!" Mu Zhen wanted to laugh a little at his expression, but he didn't laugh out loud and calmly answered his question.

"I haven't been home for almost a month, don't you miss home?" Hu Guoqing didn't understand Mu Zhen in front of him.

"Homesickness, what do you want to be at home? The house at home, there is also it here, anything in the house, you can't use it here, and you don't have to think about it at all, only the relatives in the exclusive, you want to be like that, if you don't want to, it's still the same, what is there to think about?" Mu Zhen asked rhetorically.

"That's right, you really don't have anything to think about when you say this, then you have to go home and see, you don't want your family, your family misses you!" Hu Guoqing said in a very affirmative tone.

"My family thinks that I have nothing to think about, I am here well, more than at home, I can reassure my relatives at home, what do you say they miss me? I'm afraid that I won't study well, so I will study hard, so do you still need them to think?" Mu Zhen's words seemed to arouse Hu Guoqing's thoughts, Hu Guoqing's face sank, and Mu Zhen stopped talking.

"Okay, I won't tell you, my homework is done, I'm ready to go home!" Mu Zhen looked at Hu Guoqing, who was a little stunned, and added.

"I wish you a smooth journey!" Hu Guoqing seemed to have suddenly sobered up, and happily responded to Mu Zhen.

Mu Zhen's luggage home was very simple, as simple as a canvas military schoolbag that had been washed and faded for three years, and there was only one English textbook in it, he went home for a night, and came back the next morning, and for a month, except for his father who sent him a living allowance, he never contacted his home again. Last week, his classmates who returned home from the village came home to tell him that the family was building a house, and after hearing this, he felt that building a house seemed to have little to do with him, and he didn't care much about it, but he was more concerned about his studies and a happy time to communicate with his classmates. Just as Hu Guoqing mentioned just now that he doesn't want to go home and his family misses him, from this point of view, it is really necessary for him to go home and take some living expenses from home by the way.

Mu Zhen went out of the classroom door, looked up at the sun, the sun was still very high, the clouds above him attracted him, those clouds seemed a little high, as if the cotton wool had just been removed from the cotton machine, and was hung in the sky, Mu Zhen suddenly thought of Tagore's sentence "The bird is willing to be a cloud, and the cloud is willing to be a bird", he suddenly felt that life is as short as the clouds in the sky, beautiful and eye-catching, but if it is placed in the long river of history, it is also like this white cloud, which dissipates quietly in an instant.

Mu Zhen walked out of the school gate, singing and jumping all the way, as if walking home.

When he walked on the familiar field path, he said that it was familiar, it was the land that gave birth to him and raised him for more than ten years, the land where he was rooted, he was familiar with the smell of the soil in the field, where there was his busy figure, where there were traces of his play. When he vaguely saw the new tile roof in the south of the village, he had already guessed that it was his new house, and then he looked around, and then looked up at the sky, the sun had quietly slipped down the treetops, and the few white clouds slipped somewhere to go, as if he saw the illusion of "the sky is like a dome covering the four fields". This is the beauty of hometown, at this time suddenly re-acquainted with "home", what is home? Home is not only a place where relatives live, but more importantly, it is the hometown sound, and there is a deeper one, then take root. No matter where you go, no matter where you are, the water and soil here, the grass and trees here, are dyed with your traces, and they have formed an inseparable relationship with you.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhen's steps became lighter, his steps were much faster, he wanted to return home quickly and see his relatives.

Walking to the entrance of the village, you can see idle pedestrians on the street, and Mu Zhen has to walk through the village again before going to his home. When he saw the people in the village, he greeted them one by one, "Auntie, Auntie, Grandpa, Grandma" was very cordial, and everyone was willing to talk to him, and from time to time someone joked: "Look, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm very clever!"

Mu Zhen quickly passed through the village, and Mu Bao, who was playing at the school gate, saw Mu Zhen for the first time, and shouted loudly: "Brother, brother!" ran to him, ran to him, went up and grabbed Mu Zhen's hand, as if he hadn't seen him for a few years, and said: "Let's build a new house, I'll take you to see it!"

Mu Zhen responded: "Go home first, and then go to see the new house!" said as she pulled her brother and walked home with a smile.

turned the corner, and saw Mu Yan standing at the gate of his house: "Brother, you are finally back, our mother has been talking about you for the past two days, you are here!" Mu Yan walked to Mu Zhen as she spoke, took off her schoolbag from her body, and shouted to her mother who was washing vegetables in the courtyard: "Mother, my brother is back!"

When Xiuhua heard Mu Yan's shout, she immediately put down the dishes in her hand, and when she saw Mu Zhen walking into the yard, she seemed to be a little excited: "You brought so much money this month, and you still have money to spend!"

"Yes, I spend a lot of money!" Mu Zhen replied without understanding what Xiuhua meant.

"Did you ask your classmates to give you money?" asked Xiuhua.

Mu Zhen was stunned: "What kind of money?"

"If you don't carry it, you don't carry it, I'm afraid you don't have any money, that's why I asked!" Xiuhua immediately understood that what Mu Zhen didn't know, there was no need for him to mention it again, as long as he didn't know and wasn't disturbed, it was better than anything.

"Didn't my dad send me money once during this period? I didn't spend much, except for a few foods, I couldn't spend anything else!" Mu Zhen explained.

"That's good, that's good, there's still fish in the tank, and I'll give you fish stew at night. As he spoke, he went into the house, took out a kitchen knife and a wooden board, approached the fish tank, and quickly took out a carp more than a foot long from the fish tank.

"In the past two days, our mother said that she would wait for you to come back before stewing and eating!" Mu Bao smacked his lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.

Mu Yan looked at Mu Bao's appearance and said with a smile: "Look at the greedy cat, it's all drooling!"

"Are you greedy?" Mu Bao grimaced, then took Mu Zhen's hand and continued: "Ignore her, let her cook at home, and I'll take you to see the new house we built!"

After Mu Bao finished speaking, he picked up Mu Zhen and ran out of the gate.
