Chapter 150: Mixed Blessings

What the brothers said, Lao Mu sitting in the hall heard it clearly, his image in the hearts of his two sons seemed to be fierce and vicious, as if he only knew how to solve it by beating people, and his heart seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle, could it be that he only sowed the word "beating" to the child's soul in terms of disciplining the child, he really couldn't understand that for so many years, he had gone wrong in educating his children?

Since ancient times, there have been strict teachers who produce high apprentices, and strict fathers who produce filial sons, but in his own case, isn't this exactly what he did? Could it be that he was also wrong to discipline himself strictly? And when he heard Mu Bao's words about going to Beijing, his heart rippled again.

The kung fu he used on his two sons was indeed different, for Mu Zhen, when he poured more expectations and paid more effort, it can be said that from the moment he babbled, he never dared to let go easily, at that time he regarded Mu Zhen as the continuation of his life, as his own life, and because of this, Mu Zhen from the first haircut in 100 days, he left a handful of hair on the back of his head, according to the elders in the village said that this is called "eight-year-old hair" , Only the heart and liver baby in the hands of the parents will leave this handful of initial fetal hair, and can only be removed when he is eight years old, the young Mu Zhen is almost inseparable from the old Mu, he goes to school, takes Mu Zhen, he goes to the market, takes Mu Zhen, sleeps every night, he always puts Mu Zhen by his side, as if only in this way, he can rest assured. Although there is no kindergarten in the countryside, for Mu Zhen's early childhood, almost all of them were spent in school with Lao Mu, and what he heard and saw was books, accompanied by the sound of children reading, which also cultivated Mu Zhen's interest in reading later. For Mu Bao, Lao Mu did not spend as much effort as Mu Zhen, and the reason is not that he did not regard Mu Bao as a pearl in his palm, but carried out a series of thoughts on the issue of Mu Zhen's education, why other children in the village can grow into towering trees smoothly under their own guidance, but Mu Zhen has undergone such a big change, Mu Zhen was as smart as he was when he was young, and he was definitely no less than any child he taught, but after entering middle school, he couldn't even enter the top ten in the class, so there was only one reason, his own refusal to let go, blocked the child's own thinking, so in Mu BaoMu Bao just mentioned the idea of going to Beijing, which is the result of his free play of thoughts, especially Mu Bao's contribution to the Central Broadcasting Station, so that he has seen from Mu Bao the success of his children's education in the past two years.

Every parent hopes that their children will have a future career, for parents like Lao Mu, more strongly, they have not achieved success, always try to pin their hopes on the child to achieve, it is this kind of mentality of hoping that the child will become a dragon, which leads to their own attention to the child too much, grasp too tightly, and fail to dig out the child's subjective initiative, which forms its formatted learning method, affecting the child's originality, even if the child behaves a little smart, it will eventually be wiped out in this seemingly hotbed-like cradle.

"Is Mu Zhen at home?" A shout from outside the gate interrupted Lao Mu's thoughts, Lao Mu seemed to wake up from a dream, calmed down, raised his feet and went out of the door, he wanted to see what was going on, whether he was here to find Mu Zhen, or he was going to cheat again.

Mu Zhen heard the shout and went out of the door, and answered loudly: "Yes!"

The people who walked into the courtyard outside the gate made Lao Mu and Mu Zhen stunned, and almost at the same time reacted the same three words in their minds - I don't know.

"You're looking for me?" Mu Zhen pointed to her nose and asked someone.

"I'm from Liu Village, I'm here to report good news!" the visitor looked at the two of them suspiciously, and immediately explained.

When Lao Mu heard the words "good news", he immediately reacted and hurriedly said: "Quick, please sit in the house!"

"I'm not going to sit anymore, Da'an's family is happy, send me to report the good news!" said as he took out a red egg from the cloth bag he was carrying and handed it to Lao Mu's hand.

"When will the final rice be delivered?" Lao Mu hurriedly asked.

"The sixteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar!" replied the man skillfully, apparently repeating the day many times.

In a few simple words, Lao Mu sent away the person who reported the good news, but he was really a little stupid.

Da'an is happy to have a daughter, this is a good thing, it is something worth celebrating, for this marriage, he almost broke his heart, that is, after getting married, he still listened to Xiuhua from time to time to listen to her cousin's heart did not let go, saying that what is not to have a child, are worried that this marriage is not accurate, now that she has a child, her old man's heart should be put in her belly, and she should be happy for her daughter, but he is not happy, he clearly knows the dilemma that his family is facing.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was the time when the countryside was not in good spring, and the money spent on fishing for fish and shrimp outside the village in the past two days was only enough for the family's daily expenses.

Mu Bao, who ran out of the house, snatched the egg from Lao Mu's hand and shouted at Mu Zhen: "There are red eggs to eat!"

Xiuhua and Mu Yan went to work in the field, Lao Mu looked at Mu Zhen and Mu Bao brothers, shook his head, put the red egg in his hand on the board in the house, pushed the bicycle, went out of the gate, and rode to his own responsibility field without looking back.

Lao Mu knew that this matter could not be delayed, on the sixteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it would only be two or three days, and in these two or three days, he would discuss with Xiuhua as soon as possible how to prepare to go to Da'an's house to drink happy noodles. Drinking happy noodles is not a big deal for him, the biggest thing is that he can see the old cousin Da'an who came home from his busy schedule, and he wants to discuss and solve the two things that happened recently with Da'an, which is the real reason why he is anxious.

Xiuhua, who was working in the field, was not surprised to see Lao Mu coming by bicycle, but when Lao Mu came to him and saw that Lao Mu didn't have any tools, he asked suspiciously: "What are you doing empty-handed?"

"I'm not here to work, but I have important things to discuss with you. Lao Mu told Da'an about the new daughter.

"This is a good thing, but for us, no matter what we give, we can't get the money!" Xiuhua and Lao Mu have the same worries.

"I came to you in a hurry, just to discuss money with you, do you want to go to your mother's house to see if I can borrow some more?"

"We've already taken a lot of houses to build, and people aren't our family's cash cabinets, so how can we say that we can take them!" Xiuhua said a little disapprovingly to Lao Mu's proposal.

"Then where else can we raise some money? This is a big deal, and you know that we have encountered troubles this month, and I still want to talk to Da'an to see if I can help us come up with ideas!" said Lao Mu like a child begging for an adult.

"There are thousands of avenues in the world, don't you always think about my mother's family, isn't there still your good classmate Tiancheng in our village?

"Although people have a little money now, but there are many places where people use money, where can we open our mouths? Even if we borrow it, I want you to go, I can't say it!" Lao Mu was a little childish when he was critical, and for him, this face was bigger than the sky.

"Okay, I'll borrow it, you don't have to worry about it!" Xiuhua replied very simply.

Lao Mu looked at Xiuhua's firm eyes, silent, and felt a little inexplicable pain in his heart, he was a scholar, and now he was just like Fan Jin back then, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and even a little ashamed of himself.
