Chapter 122: Hospitality

Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing were talking in the room, when they suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "Who are you talking to?"

"My mother is back!" Hu Guoqing said as he walked to the door, and before Hu Guoqing walked to the door, a woman who looked to be about thirty years old came in from outside the door, in Mu Zhen's eyes, this age is extremely incommensurate with the age of Hu Guoqing's mother, not to mention that she is wearing a sky blue shirt on her upper body, and a black pleated skirt on her lower body, the skirt is almost to the ankle, this dress immediately makes Mu Zhen feel that this woman is not like a rural woman, but more like a person with status in the unit。

"This is my classmate Mu Zhen who told you!" Hu Guoqing pointed to Mu Zhen who was standing on the side.

"I didn't mention you in front of me on National Day, I always praised you for how and how good, now I really see it, and I really let him praise it, you are my great benefactor of National Day, this is not a National Day to let you live with him, I immediately agreed, I will live here in the future, I will not treat you as an outsider, you will live at home, you wait, I will cook for you. As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk out.

"Auntie, I have to go back to school, if I don't eat here, I don't need to trouble you!" Mu Zhen was infected by Hu Guoqing's mother's enthusiasm, a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said.

"It's okay, don't bother, I'll just make something to eat, and let the two of you go to school together after eating! With that, he turned around briskly, and the hem of the skirt was half a circle, almost floating.

When Hu Guoqing's mother went out, Hu Guoqing pointed to the alarm clock on the table and said to Mu Zhen: "It's past four o'clock now, it's not too late for us to go back to school after dinner, besides, my mother asked me to call you to eat at home not once, I always felt that I was afraid of affecting your studies, so I didn't call you!"

Mu Zhen immediately came to her senses and responded, "That's so embarrassing!" Mu Zhen remembered that during the semester when she lived at Liu Xuchang's house, in addition to dealing with Liu Xuchang, she really rarely met his parents, she went out early and returned late every day, and she never ate at his house, and now everything has just begun, and she always feels uncomfortable eating at Hu Guoqing's house.

"It's okay, it's normal, besides, you helped me so much, I really don't know how to thank you!" Hu Guoqing said very politely.

"Where did you say this, we can talk together, it's all fate, even if I don't help, you will step into the school again!" Mu Zhen said sincerely.

"Needless to say kind words, if you come to live in my house, we will be brothers, so won't we get closer?" Hu Guoqing has the experience of not entering the school gate this semester, as if he has grown up a lot, his helplessness when herding sheep, let him understand a lot of life truths, the moment he met Mu Zhen, he regarded Mu Zhen as a bosom friend in his heart, and now it is not too much to say that he is a brother, because in his heart, Mu Zhen standing in front of him is more than his brother, perhaps it is this reason that makes him praise Mu Zhen in front of his mother from time to time.

Mu Zhen didn't reply, turned around and sat in front of the desk, he noticed that Hu Guoqing's study plan posted on the wall was always arranged until twelve o'clock every night, and the middle arrangement was very tight, it can be seen that this plan is racing against time, Mu Zhen not only asked: "This is your plan, are you working so hard, are you fighting for lost time?"

"That's right, I've lost a semester compared to the students in school, I have to snatch back these hours in order to catch up with the homework you have learned, I can't hold back the class, otherwise it won't work!" Hu Guoqing's tone showed great affirmation.

Mu Zhen was silent, Hu Guoqing in front of him was indeed Hu Guoqing in his mind, when he first met him, he felt that he was not a simple shepherd baby, now it seems that this is indeed the case, for Hu Guoqing, the shepherd baby is just a temporary title, and the final success will definitely accompany this former shepherd baby.

Hu Guoqing saw that Mu Zhen didn't speak, walked out of the house by himself, and after a while, Hu Guoqing came in again with a wooden chair in his hand, put the chair in front of the single desk, and said to Mu Zhen: "Two seats, one for each of us, from now on, you are not only my brother, but also my teacher, and my best friend, we urge each other, encourage each other, only ask for one, and be admitted to the ideal high school together!"

Mu Zhen nodded, Hu Guoqing handed over the paper and pen, and said to him: "You see there are textbooks and workbooks, what you want to learn now, you can take it yourself." After saying that, he sat down at his desk, and casually turned on the incandescent tube, and the room suddenly became much brighter.

Mu Zhen took out a math workbook from a stack of books in front of him, Hu Guoqing looked at him, and pulled out an English textbook by himself, the two of them did not speak to each other, and devoted themselves to learning.

About half an hour passed, and a childish voice came from outside the door: "Brother, it's time to eat!"

Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing heard the shout, the two raised their heads almost at the same time, Hu Guoqing clasped his hands together, stretched straight up, and whispered: "Let's eat, let's go to school after eating." ”

Then the two stood up almost at the same time, Hu Guoqing walked to the door in a few steps, stretched out his head to look out, and shouted, "Little girl, where is the rice?"

"Of course it's in the hall!" said the same childish voice.

"Let's go, let's eat!" Hu Guoqing said, waving his hand to Mu Zhen.

Mu Zhen stood still and didn't move, he was still hesitating, living here has already added trouble to others, how can he eat here again?

Hu Guoqing seemed to see Mu Zhen's thoughts, and said bluntly: "Didn't you say it just now? We are not brothers but brothers, what are you thinking? You must be thinking too much!"

"No, no!" Mu Zhen replied with a slight stammer, and took a step towards the door.

The two of them walked out a few steps to the door of the hall, and a girl who looked to be five or six years old walked out of the hall, and when she saw the two of them, she shouted: "Brother, wash your hands before eating!"

Hu Guoqing turned around and smiled, and said to Mu Zhen: "We really have to listen to Xiaoya, otherwise she won't let us eat!"

Mu Zhen smiled, feeling that this family is really much more hygienic than herself, such a young child knows to wash his hands before eating, and good family habits are also the beginning of a good life.

The two came to the water tank in the courtyard, scooped water into the washbasin, washed their hands together, and Hu Guoqing's mother, who was serving dishes in the kitchen, greeted: "After washing your hands, come and serve the rice bowl!"

Hu Guoqing agreed, wiped his hands and walked into the kitchen to serve the bowls, Mu Zhen was about to enter the kitchen as well, but Hu Guoqing said: "You don't need to come, you just go to the hall!"

Mu Zhen walked into the hall very obediently and found two plates on the table, one was her favorite shredded potatoes, and the other was fried peppers with eggs, which made Mu Zhen feel that this aunt really regarded herself as a guest, and immediately felt very unhappy.

Hu Guoqing, who came in with him, put the rice bowl on the board, and his mother and Mu Zhen said a few more polite words, then humbly sat down, and the four of them picked up the bowl in front of them and ate it together.

This meal is very delicious for Mu Zhen, the potatoes are silky and smooth, a little sticky, and a little crispy in the mouth, this is the best shredded potatoes that Mu Zhen has ever tasted, and it is also the most memorable shredded potatoes, as for the plate of scrambled eggs, it is even more spicy and attractive, especially the fragrance of the eggs' unique protein scrambled, so that Mu Zhen can't help but want to eat more.

There was nothing to say at the dinner table, and after eating, Hu Guoqing and his mother said simply, and then pulled Mu Zhen and rushed to school.
