Chapter 144: Mid-Autumn Festival Plot
It's the weekend again, this week's weekend is different from the past, the weekend and the Mid-Autumn Festival are approaching, the students know that this is a great opportunity for families to improve their lives in addition to the Spring Festival, so as soon as the school bell rang at noon, many students didn't care about eating, so they embarked on the way home.
Mu Zhen also thought of going home, but he hesitated in the choice, although the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, although the family will improve his life every year because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he can't raise his interest in going home, he looked at the empty dormitory, his heart was lost, and his eyes seemed to appear in front of him when he was a child Mid-Autumn Festival night when he was a child, Mu Zhen didn't know why his father was sad, as he grew up day by day, Mu Zhen finally understood that the Mid-Autumn Festival of every festival is a day of family reunion for Chinese people all over the world, and for his father Lao Mu, it is a day of joy and sorrow, listen to my mother, a few years ago, it was on this nightIt was the last Mid-Autumn Festival night that my father and my grandmother spent together, the next day, my grandmother went to a distant place alone, and since then there has been no news, my father has never seen my grandmother again, and I have not received any information from my grandmother, every Mid-Autumn Festival night, in the dead of night, my mother can hear my father sitting alone in the courtyard sighing, how lonely and desolate, it is a kind of helplessness that seems to be separated from the world, my mother understands my father, and I know the sadness in his heart, so at this time, my mother will always try her best to enlighten him, but those helpless words, it is really difficult to soothe a man's wounded heart in childhood。
Mu Zhen walked out of the dormitory, saw the slightly westward slanting sun so dazzling, and immediately pulled Mu Zhen into real life, even if she didn't leave, she could also taste the delicious food made by Hu Guoqing's mother, although she had never tasted it at home, but it couldn't replace the sweetness of the rice noodle pot cake pasted by her mother anyway, this is the plot of home. A person's life, no matter where you go, no matter how high your status is, the status of home in people's minds is irreplaceable, kind maternal love, will always give infinite legends, will always contain can only be understood can not be conveyed philosophy, with life through the spring, through the summer, through the autumn, across the winter, the four seasons can change, the weather can be impermanent, the only constant is the mother's love, just as the poet's pen "who says an inch of grass heart, repay three springs", heart to heart, this kind of feelings are difficult to give up, is forever cut.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhen made up her mind to go home and have a look, and at the same time ask for some living expenses from home for school expenses.
Mu Zhen who returned home naturally couldn't do without listening to Mu Bao's nagging of several family treasures, what the owner's puppy gave birth to cubs, and the west family's cat caught a big mouse and other topics, Mu Zhen was not interested in these, so he said to Mu Bao: "Don't talk about other people's affairs, talk about our family's affairs!"
"Our family, our family's life has been good for the past two days, there are fish to eat every day, not to mention, our mother still goes to the market every day to sell fish!" Mu Baomei said with a smile.
"Why are there so many fish?" asked Mu Zhen suspiciously.
"This, I can't tell you, if you want to know, just ask my sister!" Mu Bao tilted his head and stopped talking.
Mu Zhen looked at Mu Bao's appearance and looked very cute, so she laughed at Mu Bao and said, "Just like you, how can you know about adults?"
"Don't look down on people, our mother found that there were a lot of fish in the creek west of the village, so she called my sister to catch them together, if you don't believe it, you can ask my sister!" Mu Bao argued.
Mu Yan, who was washing vegetables, heard what Mu Bao said, so she took over and said: "It's all about the stream in the west of the village for the past two days, otherwise our family really won't be able to open the pot!"
Mu Zhen couldn't help but feel nervous, and was so shocked that she didn't say anything for a while.
"The family can't open the pot anymore, they all rely on catching fish for their livelihood, what do they rely on for their living expenses?"
"It's not like that, isn't the money for the fish that our mother sold in the past two days money?" replied Mu Yan.
"Oh!" Mu Zhen didn't continue to ask, he knew that the family had no money due to the construction of the house, and it was expected, and he didn't expect it to be so poor.
Seeing that Mu Zhen didn't speak, Mu Yan looked at Mu Zhen's contemplative expression, immediately guessed her brother's thoughts, and said: "Tomorrow will definitely catch bigger and more fish, and when the time comes, you will get the market and sell it, and the money in exchange will be enough for you to pay for half a month in school!"
Mu Zhen stared at Mu Yan and asked, "How do you know you're going to catch bigger and more fish?"
Mu Yan replied: "I can't tell you this, you can go to the creek tomorrow morning and have a look!"
Mu Zhen listened, did not speak again, went directly into the house, opened the textbook he brought, but his heart couldn't sink, his mind was in chaos, the Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a day of family gathering, due to the injury suffered by his father's childhood, it is still difficult to heal, and now the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is penniless, and it adds a little sorrow, this Mid-Autumn Festival is inevitably a sad, helpless, The dreary festival, tomorrow if you can really catch more fish as Mu Yan said, your living expenses will be settled, if you don't catch more fish, what about your living expenses in school? Mu Zhen thought of this, touched his pocket, he still had the money given by Uncle Tiancheng during the summer vacation, that money Mu Zhen has always adhered to the principle of saving if he can, although it has been almost a month, but not even half of the money has been spent in his pocket. Mu Zhen knows that if she can't catch a fish tomorrow as Mu Yan said, the money in her pocket will be her living expenses in school.
Mu Zhen looked at Mu Yan, who was busy cooking outside the window, and felt a burst of blockage in her heart, when is the dilemma of life the end?
At dinnertime, the tempting aroma of fish on the dinner table made Mu Zhen swallow his saliva twice, in school, he had not eaten such a delicacy for some days, but looking at the delicacy on this table, Mu Zhen couldn't raise his appetite for food, he knew that tomorrow morning, his living expenses still need the fish in the stream to protect it!
"Mu Zhen, what do you want?" Xiuhua was surprised to see the chopsticks that Mu Zhen lifted hanging there, and they didn't fall for a long time.
"No, I didn't think about anything, I just thought this fish was delicious, I hadn't eaten such a good meal for a long time!" Mu Zhen replied in a hurry, covering up the past.
"Early tomorrow morning, you will follow me to the west of the village to pick up fish, so that you can see how delightful this fish is!" Xiuhua said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll follow you!" Mu Zhen said happily.
"I'll go too, I'll follow and see how I catch the fish!" Mu Bao shouted.
"Eat quickly, you can get up and go tomorrow!" Xiuhua said to Mu Bao.
"Just you lazy cat, every Sunday, people who don't sleep until the sun shines on their cheeks, can they still get up?" Mu Yan glared at Mu Bao with disdain and said.
"Let's try it tomorrow, I'll get up if you get up!" Mu Bao said a little angrily.
"Okay, then let's make a bet, if you get up, I'll give you two dimes!" Mu Yan said with some confidence.
"Let's pull the hook!" Mu Bao said, stretching out the little finger of his right hand to Mu Yan.
"Lagou, Lagou, what if you lose?" Mu Yan commanded Mu Bao's army, for Mu Bao, what to gamble on?
Mu Bao thought for a while, and then grabbed Bai and said: "Then bet on burning the pot for you for a week!"
When the whole family heard Mu Bao's words, they all laughed because of his wit.
Lao Mu, who had been listening to them, couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and hurriedly said: "Stop fighting, eat first, I'll be the referee tomorrow!"
Everyone immediately sounded like a dumb horn and stopped making a sound.
