A shout with surprise and some surprise interrupted Guo Yu, who was still in a daze, and looked up just in time to see his mother coming out of the kitchen with the dishes, smelling the familiar fragrance of the dishes Guo Yu remembered that it was close to noon at this time, and hurriedly smiled in order not to let his mother see that his expression was suspicious

"Wow, it's so fragrant, Mom, I'm afraid I'll miss the meal, but I didn't expect it to be just right" said Guo Yu pushed the yard away and walked in.

Although Guo Yu's appearance didn't look unusual, but at this time, there was neither a holiday nor anything else, why did Guo Yu go home, so his mother looked at Guo Yu in front of him in the aisle and asked

"Why did you run back when you weren't studying at school?"

As for his mother's question, Guo Yu thought about it when he came in, so he said

"Mom, your son is a college student now, not junior high school and high school, our school has arranged a research task for us, don't we study agriculture? Oh, I told you that you don't understand, anyway, you know that your son is on a mission, but he didn't come back from skipping school."

Listening to her son's words, Chen Juan didn't think much about it, and said with a smile

"Look, you can, go wash your hands and we'll have dinner when your dad comes."

was told by his mother, Guo Yu remembered that he hadn't seen his father since just now, and couldn't help asking

"I remember that it's not all done in the fields now, is Dad still working in the fields?" asked Guo Yu as he washed his hands

Guo Yu knows that his father is at home with his mother at this time of year, as for why Guo Yu only knows that his mother has been very weak since giving birth to him, especially in winter, so Guo Yu felt strange when he heard his mother.

"Hey, it's all my fault, your dad wants to say that it's not winter yet, so go up to the back mountain to see if you can catch some game and come back" Saying that, there was a trace of worry on Chen Juan's face, Guo Yu knew that even if he was an old hunter in the back mountain, if he went too deep, he might get lost in it, so the worry on his mother's face was normal.

Guo Yu said while holding his mother's shoulder

"Mom, you have to believe my dad, he can't bear to be such a pretty daughter-in-law as you, is he?"

"You're looking for a fight, stinky boy actually made a joke about your mother"

Just when Guo Yu wanted to dodge, the shouting voice of the yard's father came in from outside the yard

"Ajuan, look at what I hit" With the voice, Guo Feng's figure also pushed the door and walked in.

Guo Yu turned around and saw his father with several wild animals in his two hands, not only that, but his father was actually carrying a wild boar on his shoulder, Guo Yu hurriedly went up to help his father, and this was when Guo Feng saw Guo Yu, he also looked at him with a puzzled face

"When did you come back, shouldn't you be at school this time?"

Guo Yu couldn't help but sigh when he heard the same question as his father and mother, sure enough, one lie needs another lie, and if you want to maintain this lie, you need countless lies, Guo Yu really wanted to tell his parents directly, but he knew that now was not the time at all, so he had to tell his father what he said to his mother just now, Guo Feng nodded after hearing it

"Well, in this way, you can apply what you have learned, go to eat first, and Dad will take you to our field to see first"

Guo Yu looked at his father's back and breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was as uncomfortable as a thorn.

After eating, Guo Yu helped his father to process the game, this time of the season is the official season to make cured meat, and the low temperature in winter is not easy to make the meat rotten, so people like to marinate the meat at this time, while storing and keeping it.

After finishing these fathers and sons, they cleaned up and walked out of the yard and out of the village, Guo Yu looked at the large area of abandoned land outside the village, and couldn't help but feel pity and asked

"Dad, how many people are farming in the village now?"

Guo Feng glanced at the land at the entrance of the village and sighed

"How many people still have seeds, most of the people left in the village are the old, weak, sick and disabled children, and if there is no strong laborer for the physical work of working in the fields, they will grow some vegetables and food for daily life. ”

Guo Yu listened to his father's words, although it was a pity for those lands, but now he can go out to work and earn thousands of yuan every month by his own efforts, which is not willing to farm the land with an income of tens of thousands of yuan all year round, but no one is willing to farm the land, and it has to be a bumper harvest year, if it catches up with the drought or flooding that year, the harvest of the dealer will be greatly reduced.

"If it weren't for your mother's health, I would have wanted to go out to work, and I would have thousands of dollars a month at the construction site, so your tuition would not be so difficult every year, hey"

Guo Yu listened to his father's words and felt very uncomfortable, although he would go to work as long as he was free over the years, but that could only solve his living expenses, and it could not solve a big problem at all for tens of thousands of tuition fees.

The two fathers and sons said this and quickly said that in the field on the mountain, Guo Yu pretended to take some soil and put it into the bag prepared in advance, and then went to several other fields to load some before finishing the work, at this time Guo Yu stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the village under the mountain surrounded by several surrounding mountains, and suddenly had a feeling of looking down on all beings, looking up, winding out along the road of the village, Guo Yu suddenly opened his mouth and shouted loudly, and felt better in his heart.

"Xiaoyu, come on"

Guo Yu, who had just finished shouting, was also curious when he heard his father's voice, what else could be beautiful on this mountain, so he couldn't help but follow his father towards the halfway up the mountain.

When his father took Guo Yu to the halfway up the mountain, he suddenly changed lanes and walked into a path, Guo Yu, who was already a little out of breath, hurriedly followed, and after walking for a while, he heard a rushing sound of water. Guo Yu couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. Where the hell is my father going to take him?

Soon my father stopped by a steep creek. Guo Yu also hurriedly walked to his father's side, and his father said after a while

"Do you know why I brought you here?"

Guo Yu shook his head and looked at his father

took out a cigarette from his bag, lit one, and stretched out his hand to give Guo Yu one

"The water flows to the lower places, the people go to the higher places, and everyone wants to have a lot of money and high-ranking officials, but in fact, the vast majority of people do not persist to the end, but become people who go with the flow. ”

took a puff of the cigarette given by his father, and a spicy taste suddenly reached Guo Yu's brain, causing Guo Yu to cough violently.

The father raised his hand and pointed to the water

"They trekked through mountains and rivers, from the bottom of the mountain without tireless hardships, upstream, against the danger that the current would be washed down the river at the bottom of the mountain at any time, desperately swimming towards the top of the mountain, just for the goal in their hearts"

Guo Yu followed his father's fingers, looking at the small fish in the stream that were desperately swinging their tails and swimming forward against the pressure of the stream's countercurrent impact, Guo Yu's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly understood his father's intentions.

People can be frustrated and fail, but you must not give up the belief in your heart and forget your goal, only then can you reach your destination in the adverse current under pressure.

"Dad brought you here for no other purpose, just to remind you that people must have goals, but also stick to the path in their hearts, so that they will not lose themselves on the way to achieve their goals"

After listening to his father's words, Guo Yu blurted out

"Dad, I... ”

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Well, it's nothing, I just want to say Dad, why did you suddenly become so cultured today, so I don't even feel like I know you," Guo Yu hurriedly changed his words

Guo Feng didn't think much about it, shook his head with a smile, turned around and went down the mountain, Guo Yu looked back at the fish in the water again, and then quickly followed his father's footsteps down the mountain.

The father and son soon came to their yard, Guo Yu looked at the quiet yard and shouted twice and the mother did not respond, when he felt strange, he saw that the originally calm father suddenly turned pale, and rushed towards the house with an arrow step, although Guo Yu did not understand, but looked at his father's face, he did not see the figure of his mother in the association, and his face was also white, and he hurriedly followed his father's footsteps into the house.

"Juan...... Juan, are you alright?"

As soon as he entered the house, Guo Yubian saw his mother lying on the bed with a pale face, his heart suddenly twitched, and he hurriedly came to take his mother to his side

"Mom, you ......"

"Son, mom is fine, this is an old problem, just rest for a few days"

"......"

Before Guo Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his father

"Guo Yu, your mother is fine, let your mother rest for a while, but Dad needs you to go to the mountain to get some medicinal herbs. You come out with Dad."

Seeing his father's face gradually returning to normal, Guo Yu knew that his father would not lie to him, so he hurriedly followed.

"Dad, Mom, this is ......"

As soon as he got out of the house, Guo Yu hurriedly asked his father, because in Guo Yu's impression for so many years, in addition to not going up the mountain to do heavy work, his mother was in charge of the basic housework, and he didn't see a major illness in his body.

"Hey, I still blame your dad for not being able to let your mom live a good life. Back then, in order to marry me, your mother and I secretly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate without telling the family, I thought that the family would be angry at most after knowing it, and the family would be angry after a while, and it would be good if the family was angry after a while, hey......"

As he spoke, his father lit a cigarette, took a hard puff and continued

But after a long time the family did not react, and the two of us realized how naïve our ideas were. I asked your mother to directly get a marriage certificate by going directly to both parents, which was a big deal back then, and it was spread in the village of your father and your mother, saying that your mother was a person who did not abide by women's morals, and that your mother was a vixen. ”

"Later, your mother and I had no choice, so we took a little bit of the belongings we got from the family and followed the people who migrated on the road to settle down in this Yangjia Village. ”

"The dull days of the second year were brought joy by a little guy who suddenly arrived"

As he spoke, his father reached out and helped Guo Yu's head and continued

"The people in the village know that your mother is pregnant and know that our family is having a hard time, and they have also sent some food, but a pregnant woman, how can it be nutritious to eat only rice, so during that time I often went to hunt game, because there were no tools, I could only make some traps, and when I was lucky, I would occasionally catch hares and pheasants, but most of the time there were only wild vegetables. ”

"On the day you were born, due to your mother's lack of nutrition, she almost died in bed, if it weren't for your Wu Ah Gong, your mother's life would still be saved, that is, from then on, your mother fell into the root of the disease, and every time you get sick, you need a unique herb on our mountain, Purple Moon Flower. The reason why you didn't see your mother get sick in those years was because when I was young, I would go up to the mountains every year to pick a lot of them and dry them at home and put them at home. ”

was mentioned by his father, Guo Yu suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he would dry a lot of fragrant purple flowers in his yard every year.

"Then I'll go up the mountain to give my mother advice now."

Father grabbed Guo Yudao

"Hey, do you think Dad doesn't want to go up the mountain, a large number of trees have been cut down on the mountain over the years, and the environmental damage is not a little bit, I have gone to see the places where purple moonflowers can grow, and there is no shadow of half a flower for a long time. ”

Looking at the sad face on his father's face, Guo Yu was also panicked in his heart, but Guo Yu saw that in addition to the sadness on his father's face, there was also a struggle. Now my father should know that there is still a purple moonflower.

"Dad, do you know that there is still a purple moon flower, if you know that you should say it quickly, don't you want your mother to get better quickly. ”

Guo Laosi looked at his son with an anxious look, and felt comforted in his heart

"It's not that Dad doesn't say it, it's that the place is too deep into the mountains, and Dad has to be like a foolproof plan. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Guo Yu to answer, he turned around and walked into the house.

Looking at his father's back, combined with his father's worried expression just now, Guo Yu felt that his father didn't want to say it, but that the place where he could get the purple moon flower should be in a certain danger. The father didn't want to take the risk himself.

Back in the house, Guo Yu always thought of his mother's pale face and frowning in his heart, and after thinking about it, Guo Yu got up and took out his old mobile phone, opened the network that he hadn't used for a long time, and looked up pictures about purple moonflowers on the Internet. In the current era of Internet information, as long as it is known, there is a certain probability of finding it.

Hard work pays off, Guo Yu found a picture of this purple moon flower in a forum for exchanging medicinal materials, Guo Yu was very happy, and hurriedly saved the picture, Guo Yu slept very early this night, and Guo Yu got up before dawn the next day, left a note and walked out of the village towards the mountain.

To tell the truth, growing up so big, Guo Yu has never been on the mountains behind the village, there are often old people who say that there are fierce beasts on this mountain, and they are so scared that they don't even dare to play at the foot of the mountain.

Tightening the backpack behind him, Guo Yu walked in briskly towards the back mountain.
