Back in the courtyard, Lao Mu was still pondering Zhang Gongyun's words, although the two villages were not far away, but they didn't know each other before, that is, last night they were afraid that he would misunderstand, so they didn't come out to see him, and listened to the introduction of people who knew him well in the village, this Zhang Gongyun had studied for a few years, and he could be regarded as a person with ink in his stomach in the countryside, coupled with the sincerity shown by today's door to thank him, Lao Mu decided that Zhang Gongyun was also a friend on the field.

Don't let Mu Zhen live in the school, that is the decision that Lao Mu can't pull back with ten old cows, Zhangji Village is close to the school, and there are many students in the village, borrowing a place to live there is the best choice, but in front of Zhang Gongyun, who has just met on the side, he really can't say it, and he has to find another way to find a way for Mu Zhen's accommodation in the new semester.

Lao Mu sighed just now, but he just felt that Mu Zhen's accommodation really couldn't be solved nearby, so he still lived at home temporarily, and it would not be too late to find a suitable place to stay.

Lao Mu thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have anything to do, so he paced to the kitchen door and said to Mu Zhen: "After school starts, I don't want you to live on campus!"

"Are you going home to live?" Mu Zhen, who was reading a book, raised her head and looked at Lao Mu and responded.

"Yes, come back and live for a few days first, and then find a way, ride a donkey to find a horse, there will always be a way!" Lao Mu showed a little helplessness when he said these words.

When Mu Zhen heard that he was coming back to live, he was a little reluctant, which meant that Lao Mu had to pick him up every night. From Xiaowangzhuang to the school is not across the village, but more than three miles of night road, black lights blind not to say, especially in the middle of the two places, there is also a mound left by the peach blossom temple, and later became the place of death passed down by people's mouth, for many years, although people have never seen anything, but from the mouth of the elderly to tell those stories of the gods and spirits, when you go there at night, think of these ghost stories, enough to make your scalp tingle. Many people know that it is just to scare themselves, but if it is really their turn to walk by at night, they can't help but think of the stories that intimidate them. If it rains again, the muddy road is even more miserable.

Although Lao Mu is educated, he is not superstitious about ghosts and gods, but he does not dare to walk at night alone, the semester when he first came to Binhu Middle School, every time he goes to pick up Mu Zhen who returns from school at night, he always has to let Xiuhua accompany him, especially in the wind and snow weather, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word "suffering". This is something that Mu Zhen is extremely reluctant to see, so Mu Zhen is not willing to do this, but with only one child, he really can't think of a better way.

Mu Zhen nodded, for so many years, Mu Zhen could understand Lao Mu's intentions from Lao Mu's eyes.

"Just now, it was your classmate's father who came just now!" Lao Mu hesitated, because he was only thinking about his mind just now, and forgot to ask the name of Zhang Gongyun's son, so now communicating with Mu Zhen, suddenly stuck like a horn with a power outage.

"I know, his son's name is Zhang Ran!" Mu Zhen looked at Lao Mu without saying a word and added.

"How do you know it's Zhang Ran's father!" Lao Mu was a little surprised.

"As soon as he entered our door just now, I looked familiar, and when you mentioned my classmate just now, I immediately thought of which one it was, it looks very similar!" Mu Zhen said very easily, his home is in the east of the village, and it is only a few hundred meters away from the school. Mu Zhen mentioned this, a little excited, and forgot all the unhappiness just now.

"Can you go live with him?" asked Mu Zhen tentatively.

"I really don't know, I can ask when we meet, he is very good to me!" Mu Zhen replied easily.

Lao Mu was silent, why didn't he ask more questions just now? He blamed himself for the hesitation he had just made, where was the courage of the old man to say more than once that "open his mouth and make three points"? Mu Zhen's good impression of Zhang Ran naturally reassured Lao Mu, and his kind of worry that Mu Zhen was not happy with was a bit redundant. After thinking about it, as soon as Zhang Gongyun left on his front foot, he caught up and asked a little abruptly, and if he didn't get it right, he would make people laugh at his recklessness, so it was better to think of other ways.

Mu Zhen has long been disgusted with the accommodation environment in the school, but he felt that it was because of Lao Mu's thoughts, and he did not raise any objections, when he was infected with the terrible scabies, he once thought of leaving that ghost place, but when he had a skin disease, he naturally stopped talking, and now the disease has been completely cured, and his father also agreed to his own sleepover, he instantly thought of a lot of classmates who were close to the school, and sifted through them in his mind one by one, among the five names he wrote on the paper, the last one - Liu Xuchang, his heart suddenly brightened up a lot, Mu Zhen had been to the two huts where Liu Xuchang lived in Zhangji Village, two earthen houses that looked very historical in appearance, old earthen houses without courtyard walls, the big elm tree in front of the house left a deep impression on Mu Zhen, the crown was as big as an umbrella, almost all covered the earthen house, although the appearance of the earthen house looks old, but the house is very clean, except for a big bed, it is an old-fashioned table, if you can live with him, it also solves the problem of studying at night, this is definitely a double thing. According to Liu Xuchang, the family also has a new house, where his parents and sister live, and this small earthen house is where he and his younger brother live.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhen couldn't wait to fly to the school immediately, meet Liu Xuchang and discuss the matter of staying overnight.

With the whole family curing scabies, Mu Zhen thought that if she wanted to solve the problem of her own stay, she had to work together as a family. Mu Zhen got up and walked out of her bedroom, came to Lao Mu, and said to Lao Mu, who was standing in the courtyard and smoking: "Great, I have a classmate who lives in two old houses with his younger brother, I want to live with him, do you think it's okay?"

Lao Mu frowned and responded, "What's the situation at his family?"

"It's okay to study, the situation at home!" Mu Zhen hesitated for a moment and continued: "I don't know!"

"You can find his door, let's go now!" Lao Mu's sudden idea made Mu Zhen a little stunned, and he really couldn't figure out why Lao Mu was in such a hurry to go to his classmate's house.

"This, this ......" Mu Zhen really didn't know how to answer, and stood up.

"You don't think it's okay, let's go to his house to have a look, you go to live in someone's house, and I should also meet their parents!" As he spoke, he pushed out the "Old Taishan" and inserted it in the courtyard, and then took out the basket of eggs brought by Zhang Gongyun and hung it on the handlebar.

Lao Mu felt that solving the accommodation problem of Mu Zhen in the new semester was the primary problem for the whole family, and he couldn't delay it for a moment, he missed it in the morning, and he couldn't stop working hard this time.

After all, the road is not far, the two of them didn't say a few words, they arrived at the entrance of Zhangji Village, he followed the road pointed by Mu Zhen into the village, and soon found the two old earthen houses, the door was open, Mu Zhen shouted at the door: "Liu Xuchang, Liu Xuchang!"

"Who called me?" said a round-faced, childish child who ran to the door and stuck his head out.

"Mu Zhen, are you coming to me?" the boy was surprised and ran out of the door to grab Mu Zhen's hand.

"This is Liu Xuchang. Mu Zhen took Liu Xuchang's hand and said to Lao Mu standing under the elm tree.

Lao Mu nodded and asked, "What about your parents?"

"They're in the new courtyard, I'll take you there!" For Liu Xuchang, he didn't know what Mu Zhen's father and son were looking for his parents, but he just felt that his classmates felt cordial when they came to him.

When the three of them stood in front of a courtyard with red bricks and red tiles, Liu Xuchang said a little excitedly: "This is my new home!" As he spoke, he pushed open the big wooden door with two big iron rings, Lao Mu looked at the courtyard and suddenly felt that the owner of this house was indeed extraordinary, and this courtyard was one of the best courtyards in the village.

"Come in, big, we're having a guest!" Liu Xuchang shouted to his father in the house while beckoning the old Mu and the two to come in.

Liu Xuchang's shout obviously alarmed the adults in the house, his father came out of the house, and happened to see Lao Mu coming in with a cart, and his face was suspicious: "You look very familiar!"

"My son and your son are classmates!" Lao Mu looked at Liu Xuchang's father and was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Come in, come in. As he spoke, he let Lao Mu, who had plugged in his bicycle, into the house.

"I'm in Xiaowangzhuang in front, I heard my son mention your son today, and I want to come to visit you!" said Lao Mu politely.

"Where can I visit, a lifelong classmate and three lifetime relatives, you are too polite, as soon as you enter the door, I looked at you familiarly, and suddenly remembered, you graduated from No. 1 Middle School, right?" Liu Xuchang's father asked.

"Yes, five or sixth! are you too?"

"Yes, I'm from the fifth and eighth classes, and I graduated two years after you! My name is Liu Xuefeng!" Liu Xuchang's father said.

"We talked at that time, but we forgot it for so many years!" Liu Xuefeng said politely.

"That's, after so many years, we can still remember, it's really not easy!" Lao Mu felt that the junior in front of him was still living a good life now, otherwise how could he build such a decent house in the village.

"Where can I forget, those passionate years will never be forgotten for a lifetime!" Liu Xuefeng sighed.

"That is, we were still participating in large-scale production labor together in school at that time!" Lao Mu continued, Lao Mu felt that he would continue to be old, and then talk about the right thing, and the right thing would come naturally.

"That's it, I remember that you were still a class cadre in the class, and you shouted the trumpet with the whole class!" Liu Xuefeng obviously had a deep impression of Lao Muliu back then.

"That's all history! It's been so many years now, you can still remember so much, it seems that we are also destined!" Lao Mu deliberately led to the topic.

"It's fate, although we are not in the same grade, we are also alumni of the same school, and now the children have become classmates again, and they are also close to each other!" Liu Xuefeng continued.

"I came to you today, I really need your help with something!" Lao Mu heard Liu Xuefeng's words, and felt that it was time to get down to business.

"Don't you see it, it's also an old classmate, if you have something, just say it, as long as I can help, I will spare no effort!" Liu Xuefeng patted his chest and replied very simply.

"My son Mu Zhen has lived in the school for a year, and he doesn't want to live in the school, because he is not in the same township as you, so he is the only one who studies in this school, and it is very inconvenient to go back to live at night, and I want to stay at your house, do you think it is convenient?"

"There is no problem with this, the child lives in two earthen houses, I don't know if you dislike it? If you don't dislike it, it's naturally a good thing, and the two brothers can help each other!" Liu Xuefeng replied quite decisively.

Lao Mu immediately felt relieved in his heart, and he didn't have time to say anything. Liu Xuefeng continued: "Although the house is a little old, but I cleaned up the house very cleanly, it turned out that the eldest and the second child lived there, your son came, I will let the second child live in the new courtyard, you can rest assured, your own children, everything is easy to say!"

Lao Mu felt that Liu Xuefeng in front of him was really doing him a great favor, this problem that had been harassing him for a few days, he didn't expect to solve it here, and he really felt a little ecstatic.

"Thank you so much!" Lao Mu didn't know how to be grateful, so he said with twelve points of sincerity.

"Don't be too polite, the relationship between our classmates and the children is the fate of several lifetimes!" Liu Xuefeng said excitedly.

Lao Mu nodded and said, "Look, I have let go of the burden in my heart, and we will have a chance to do it again in the future, and I will go back to do some school things." Lao Mu was ready to get up and say goodbye.

The child who was standing aside and listening to the two of them was silent, looking a little excited at this time, Liu Xuchang took Mu Zhen's hand and said, "In the future, we will live together, and it will be more convenient for me to ask you if I have any questions!"

Over the past year, Liu Xuchang admired Mu Zhen very much, just like a teacher of the same age in his mind, and when he heard that Mu Zhen lived with him, he naturally jumped up with joy.

Mu Zhen also nodded happily, and then stood up Lao Mu walked out of the house, Liu Xuefeng followed, and was busy hanging the eggs from Lao Mu on the handlebar: "You seem to be carrying things, which makes me feel embarrassed!"

"For the New Year, bring some gifts, even if it looks at the old people in the family!" Lao Mu felt that the relationship with Liu Xuefeng had become closer at this time, so he said the words to look at the old man.

The two humbled each other again, and in the end, it was Lao Mu's insistence that they left the eggs at Liu Xuefeng's house, and then returned home with their son.
