Since it was still early, the gate of the bus station had not yet opened, and it was quiet outside, without even a trace of light.

Lao Mu felt a little lost in his heart, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch the first train when he went out, and he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water at home.

Lao Mu took out a cigarette and lit it, the faint light of the cigarette butt kept flickering in the dark, flickering bright and dark, with Lao Mu's shaking, the glimmer also kept jumping in the dark, making people wonder. Mu Zhen's eyes stared at this glimmer of light, like a pointing lamp in front of her, and she thought it was very interesting.

Lao Mu took a picture on his wrist by the faint light of the cigarette butt, and by the faint light, Lao Mu saw that the hour hand of the watch immediately pointed to five o'clock, and casually said to Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing: "It's almost five o'clock, and it is estimated that the station will open soon!"

"Soon, open the door at half past five at half past five!" A dark shadow came from the darkness at some point, heard Lao Mu's words and then responded, Lao Mu heard from the words that it was a woman who spoke.

"Are you here to take a ride too?" asked Lao Mu as he took a hard puff on his cigarette.

"I don't take the train, I sell porridge at the station!" replied the dark shadow in the dark.

"What time does the earliest train depart now?"

"Six o'clock, you're coming a little early!"

"Where's your porridge? first make us three bowls and let us warm up. Lao Mu continued.

"The porridge is in the back, I only pulled some tables, chairs and benches, and I guess it will be here in a few minutes!" said the porridge seller, expertly unloading the tables, chairs and benches from the floor row car in the dark.

"You don't need to come so early when you go to the county seat!" the porridge seller chattered.

"We don't go to the county seat, we have to go to the Dashi Railway Station and prepare to take the train!"

"Then it's no wonder that you came early, there are a lot of people who go to the big city these days, especially the first bus, every time you can't finish the mile, you can still get on the bus if you come early, and you can't get on it at all!"

"Why are there so many?" Lao Mu heard the porridge seller say, and then asked.

"Isn't this a big holiday? Now that the common people have a better time at hand, there are more people who go to the city, some go to relatives and friends, some go to the big cities to buy things, and I hear from the people who come back that there are not only many varieties and styles of things, but also not expensive, so everyone is willing to go into the city to join in the fun!"

The porridge seller wanted to continue, when he heard another voice not far away: "You old woman, who are you talking to?"

The woman selling porridge immediately stopped talking, and the three of them turned their heads to look not far away, there was a horse lantern hanging on the car of the comer, and through this faint light they saw that the person who came was an old man, Lao Mu knew in his heart that this must be to the old husband and wife, Lao Mu immediately stepped forward and tried to help him push the cart, but the old man refused and said: "No, I can do it myself!"

Lao Mu retreated to the same place, only to see the old man skillfully lay the handlebars of the ground row car on a stool, fix it with a rope, and then take out a stack of bowls. At this time, Lao Mu noticed that a flat round bucket with a mouth nearly one meter long was placed on the ground row car, and the outside of the bucket was wrapped in cotton cloth.

"Pour three bowls of porridge for me to warm up!" said to the old man who sold porridge politely.

"Okay, good, good, I'll pour it for you!" said that, the old man touched a bowl, and twisted the bowl with the towel on his shoulder, took the bowl with one hand and put it on the side of the long mouth of the vat, and lifted the heel of the vat with the other hand, and tilted it slightly, and the porridge that flowed out of the long mouth in an instant filled the bowl, and the heat rose through the faint horse light, and with the heat, there was a pungent fragrance of bean blossom wafting into the nostrils of the three people, and they couldn't help but quietly swallow the naturally generated saliva.

The porridge was a little hot, and Lao Mu reminded Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing: "It's too hot, drink it slowly!"

At the same time, Lao Mu Pin porridge observed the old man selling porridge from time to time, trying to talk to him about a topic that could be continued.

"I think you're seventy years old!"

"You are really good eyesight, you have three zeros this year!"

"You are so old and so hard, it's time to give it to your children and grandchildren!"

"I've been losing it for many years, and I don't have to pay for my grandson's illness at home, and I owe some debts, so I have to pick up this business again, and earn a little money, first, to support my family, and second, to save some money to pay off my debts!" said the old man without hesitation.

Lao Mu was worried that the old man would mind, so he immediately changed his words and said, "No wonder the porridge you cooked is so fragrant!"

"Of course, this porridge is ancestral, and I have raised my family for at least five generations, but unfortunately now that life is better, my son is unwilling to learn, and it will be lost in my family immediately?"

"How can it be? If you don't mind, how about I find someone to worship you as a teacher and learn this from you?"

"Of course, I'm really happy to teach!"

Lao Mu still wanted to continue, but suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and the lights at the gate of the station were on, and then he saw a person holding a broom and sweeping the floor at the gate out of the communication room.

Lao Mu's mind was immediately not on apprenticeship, but in a hurry to catch the car, lest because of his speech, which would affect the drinking of porridge, so he stopped talking, but kept sucking the hot porridge in the bowl.
