Chapter 3 Returning Home
The green scenery flashed in front of Mu Ling's eyes, and the patches of jungle have not yet been photographed by the developer, nor have they suffered the fate of deforestation, but these results seem to be inevitable, even if they live again, they have no ability to change. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Mu Ling has never been a hypocritical person, but for the first time, she felt depressed by her incompetence, at least, she couldn't change the earth, she couldn't touch the climate, and she couldn't stop the flu from attacking. People, sometimes they are really small, Mu Ling thought.
Coming to Changyuan outside the wooden house where Grandpa Mu lives, in 08 years, Grandpa Mu's house has not yet built a small building, or the kind of old-fashioned house supported by wood and brushed with lime powder outside, and a stone brick hut is specially built next to it, which is stronger than the old-fashioned main house, and is specially built for juniors.
"Wang, Wang~" What a memorable voice, 08 years, rhubarb has not been poisoned by dog dealers, holding into his own rhubarb (is a yellow rural dog), for the first time, Mu Ling felt that his rebirth has meaning, rhubarb is Mu Ling's playmate when she was a child, because Mu Dad and Mu Mom have been fighting for their careers outside, Mu Ling was very reluctant to be promoted to a left-behind child, and Mu Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu depended on each other, and also fell into a timid and cowardly temperament, and the existence of Rhubarb, since Mu Ling remembered, is one of the indispensable family members. At least, in this life, rhubarb can no longer be and will never be allowed to die in vain. The originally gloomy state of mind gradually became clearer.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Seeing Grandpa Mu washing vegetables in the sink, Mu Ling's eyes were red for a moment, even if she went back to 8 years ago, Grandpa Mu still had vicissitudes that could not be concealed, the more sparse hair strands, the more rickety backs, and the more empty clothes, all showed Grandpa Mu's declining day. Tightly hugged his thin body, without words.
"It's good to come back, and come back often when you have time." Grandpa Mu patted Mu Ling's back and comforted.
"Dad, I'll bring some fruits, eat more to nourish your stomach, don't be reluctant." The aunt carried a box of mangoes and a box of kiwi into the house and placed them on the long table in front of the dining table.
The fruit of 08 years is not as widespread as it is now, although there are many people who buy and sell, but most of them are people who live a relatively well-off life, and the livelihood of ordinary people is still a problem, how can they have money to buy fruits. Wu, Mu Ling thought of a business opportunity and planned to discuss it with her parents when she went home.
"Don't spend money indiscriminately, it's not easy for Xiao Lu to earn some money, don't spend it on my old bones." Grandpa Mu scolded with a smile. When you reach a certain age, who doesn't want your children to be filial and full of children and grandchildren, it's just that Mu's father only has one daughter, Mu Ling, and no grandson inherits incense, which has always been a knot in Grandpa Mu's heart.
"Come in and sit down." Grandpa Mu beckoned, "it, come down, it's all here, don't hurry up and cook yet." He shouted upstairs, because it was a wooden house, and even the staircase was tightly a bamboo ladder, oozing green and faint ink.
"Eh, here we are." The little Grandma Mu kicked downstairs, her feet like the wind.
After shushing for a while, Grandpa Mu and his eldest uncle Lu Yongyuan chatted energetically, the aunt accompanied Grandma Mu, Mu's mother cooked, and her cousin Lu Wen sat in front of the door playing with her mobile phone, looking at the old-fashioned Nokia, the game that can be played except Tetris is pushing the box, Mu Ling twitched the corner of her mouth fiercely, that's right, 8 years ago, she was so envious that she stood behind Lu Wen and watched, and she didn't dare to come forward to talk, like a fool. Lu Wen too, she didn't know how to be considerate and considerate of her sister, she played by herself, claiming to be the representative of the new trend, while Mu Ling was defined as a turtle who had never seen the world.
Mu Ling felt bored, pulled rhubarb into the hut next door to watch TV, 08 years Mu Grandpa's house has not changed the LCD TV, it is still a cube, and can only receive a fixed few stations, talk is better than nothing, Mu Ling watched the news broadcast, it is still sparse surrounding reports about earthquake relief, today June 15th, the Sichuan earthquake has also occurred for more than a month, compared to the first two days of the tragic atmosphere of the whole China, now it has almost returned to normal. Thinking that there is still half a month to go on the summer vacation, Mu Ling can't help but be eager to try, even if she is a senior in high school, she has different emotions about the summer vacation.
At the moment before lunch, Dad Mu was late, and walked into the back room happily, seeing that the eldest uncle's expression did not have the slightest crack, the eldest uncle got up to greet him, and shouted that he was punished for being late, just like a brother, Grandpa Mu was also happy, and it seemed that it was a happy family. Of course, except for the two old men, everyone else has a clear stomach, and they are all like each other, and they can't be taken seriously.
Speaking of the contradiction between Mu's father and Lu Yongyuan, it also originated at the dinner table, there was a gathering of three families, Lu Yongyuan, Mu's father and his uncle Jiang Yuehua were all drunk, as the saying goes, spit out the truth after drinking, at that time, Lu Yongyuan counted a lot of Mu's father, even if the aunt stopped it, Lu Yongyuan was unwilling to stop. At that time, although he was drunk, Dad Mu was not irrational at all, he blushed at the moment, and in the end, it is conceivable that the two had a quarrel and a fight, and this beam was settled, and Jiang Yuehua escaped because he was paralyzed on the table due to drinking.
In the afternoon, Mu's mother and aunt climbed to the back hill under the leadership of Grandma Mu to pick vegetarian vegetables, while the three men were bored in the house and chatted about the family's strengths and weaknesses.
"Father-in-law, have you considered building another small building? Now this house is not safe to live in. "Lu Yongyuan is engaged in architecture, and he knows more about these aspects.
"Alas, I've thought about it, but now that life is tight, how can I have spare money to build a house, let's see later." In the countryside, the son naturally has to take on the responsibility of providing for the elderly, Grandpa Mu has never asked for anything considering Mu's father's economy, and now in order not to embarrass Mu's father, he also accepted this topic early.
"Father-in-law, it's a big deal, I'll build it, I'm specialized in making houses, and I'll definitely build a small building that satisfies you." The eldest uncle still didn't give up, and asked.
"Don't, you still have parents to take care of, don't worry about the old man." Grandpa Mu took a hard puff of his cigarette, sighed, and refused.
................................
Before leaving, Mu Ling found Mu's mother, "Mom, can you bring rhubarb to the house to raise it, you can put it in the attic." ”
"You kid, what are you talking nonsense, rhubarb is used by your grandfather to watch the house, not to mention that rhubarb is not used to living in the city."
"But I can't help it." Mu Ling stared straight at Mu's mother, learning the tone of the past and saying coquettishly.
"Stop making a fuss."
Helpless, Mu Ling found Grandpa Mu again, "Grandpa, that, my classmate said that there have been a lot of dog dealers recently, and many dogs in the countryside have been poisoned and dragged away, you be careful, don't let them poison the rhubarb." ”
"Okay, you only have your rhubarb in your eyes, why don't you let grandpa also be careful about safety?" Grandpa Mu quipped.
"Grandpa's fortune is all over the sky, what do you want to worry about, rhubarb is ill-fated, if rhubarb has an accident, bah, rhubarb will not have an accident."
"As long as you are poor, it's a big deal that grandpa and rhubarb eat and live together, this time you can rest assured." Because she is the only granddaughter, Grandpa Mu has doted on Mu Ling since she was a child, and because she lived together when she was a child, everything delicious was left for Mu Ling, which made her more and more round, so Grandpa Mu is also one of the culprits of the fat girl's fortune.
The return journey always seemed longer than the journey, and Lu Yongyuan sent them to the gate of the community and went home.
In the process of climbing the stairs together, Mu Ling wanted to try to persuade Mu's mother to change jobs and open a fruit shop instead, after all, after 8 years, the fruit store was almost one of the hottest stores.
"Mom, I'll discuss something with you."
"What's the matter, you still want to take rhubarb home?"
"No, I want you to change jobs, your current work is too tiring, your body will be exhausted."
"It's okay, mom can still bear it, if you don't work harder, your dowry will be gone."
"What are you talking about," Mu Ling's face turned red in an instant, "I want you to open a fruit shop, it must be doing very well." ”
"Alas, you kid, you haven't grown up after all. Have you considered the store, is there a supply of goods, and our family has no way, and we still help count the money when others slaughter us, where is it said that the store will be opened. As if laughing at Mu Ling's innocence, Mu's mother shook her head.
Again, Mu Ling has the urge to scold her mother, sister, didn't the heroine in the novel say that she will open a store when she opens a store, those who notify their parents can get the support of their parents, and those who don't notify their parents can be the boss directly, I don't want antique shops, jewelry stores, just fruit shops, I can't even pass the level of my parents when Nima arrives at me, God, isn't it that although I am reborn, I am still the life of the female partner, everything is not going well.
When she got home, Mu Ling buried herself directly in the small room, and she was in a hurry in the morning, and she didn't have time to tidy up. So, another vast project began, after sorting out the books, Mu Ling turned her eyes to the locked drawer, and then, where is the key? I went, I forgot where I put the key at that time, my eyes scanned all the containers that could be stored around, and then, Mu Ling raised her eyebrows, shocked - am I really an idiot? I put the key behind a book on the bookshelf, so that such an obvious bulge would not be seen by a fool. After deeply doubting her IQ, Mu Ling silently opened the drawer.
Can I pretend I don't know myself?
A drawer full of Barbie dolls, sisters, what are Barbie dolls going to hide, who would covet these two plastic dolls, well, when I was a child, I was still clamoring to be a fashion designer, and I made these two rags of fabric by myself, if this is all design, beggars can be talent models, ah--I can't bear to look at them. Isn't it really kidding me?
Hey? There are also two codebooks, if you don't learn well at a young age, you will hide your privacy, and then, Mu Ling directly tore open the codebook with brute force, there is no way, how can someone who has forgotten the existence of the codebook still remember the password.
