CHAPTER XXIV. XV

The crescent moon is gradually developing towards perfection, and the life of the people in the quiet village is moving forward in an orderly manner.

Muyang carried two catties of moon cakes and sang a little song leisurely to visit relatives at the train station.

The relative at the train station was his aunt and grandmother, and the words carefully were his grandfather's sister.

It was now afternoon, the sun had gradually tilted towards the west, and a cool breeze was blowing, and Muyang felt very comfortable.

On the way to the train station, you will pass by a school girl who is several batches younger than Muyang, and every year no matter what day you go to relatives, Muyang will secretly glance at the cat in the yard.

The younger sister is very gentle, the younger sister is very beautiful, the younger sister knows how to be polite, and Muyang likes it very much.

If she meets her, Muyang will pretend not to look at her, pretending to be passing by, if the cat doesn't see it for a long time, she will be stunned and sigh softly.

I didn't see it today, Muyang was a little disappointed, and he didn't hum the little song anymore.

The train station in the village does not have the kind of green train that can sit on people, but a black tractor train that specializes in pulling mines.

In front of a locomotive whistle angry jet, behind it pulled dozens of open car bodies, which were filled with mines.

These mines are mined and purified from small villages, and then go to the big cities to make iron and steel.

Kicking a small pebble, the pebble smashed on the deserted track, Muyang sighed that the glory of the train entering the village to pull the mine has passed for a long time, and the current railway station is dilapidated.

The glass of the concentrator was smashed to pieces by naughty children, and the small building of the security department used to be inhabited by dozens of strong men, but now the iron locks that lock the doors are rusty.

The ground is full of weeds, some parts of the railroad tracks have been taken down and sold, and the sewers that drain the wastewater are only dry mud.

The whole train station was quiet and frightening, and an unknown bird cry came from afar, so that Muyang hurriedly ran to his aunt's house.

"Grandma, I'm visiting relatives."

Muyang shouted, and the aunt came out of the kitchen with an apron, a kind smile on her face, and enthusiastically called Muyang to come into the house to sit.

"I figured you should be here today, your brother? Didn't come with you? "My aunt and grandmother saw that Mu Yang was the only one coming, and she was a little curious where Mu Chen went?

"Oh, my brother went to my aunt's house."

"Muyang, your little aunt is also here, in the next room, and your little father is also there."

When Muyang heard that his aunt and father were there, he immediately went to play in the next room happily.

The sister-in-law in the house was doing her homework, and the little dad was knocking walnuts on the ground to eat, and when she saw Muyang, Muyang's father handed Muyang a hammer and began to join the team of knocking walnuts.

The sister-in-law saw that Muyang was not doing her homework, but talking to Muyang, who she hadn't seen for half a year.

"Muyang, who is teaching you math now?"

It's okay not to mention this math teacher, but when he mentions Muyang, he gets angry, that is, he slapped himself and Liang Xinxin apart.

"Ah, it's the stupid math teacher in your class, it turns out that the math teacher in our class was angry and ran away, so he made up for it."

The sister-in-law didn't get angry when she heard Muyang scolding her math teacher, but smiled.

"Haha, yes, I thought only the people in our class thought he was stupid, but everyone thought he was stupid."

Muyang thought that his sister-in-law would say that he insulted his teacher and did not respect the teacher, but his sister-in-law thought the same as herself, and it seems that there is something wrong with this math teacher.

"Muyang, how do you feel about his teaching?"

"To be honest, I don't understand, he slapped me if I didn't know how to do the question, and let me stay in the hall at noon, and my eyes were black when I was hungry."

Hearing Muyang's tragic deeds, my sister-in-law couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Come to Muyang, you can't do anything, I'll teach you."

Mu Yang was very happy to hear that there was an opportunity to study, especially that her sister-in-law was admitted to the county key high school this year, and Mu Yang was even more excited.

"Sister-in-law, you can teach me the one-dimensional equation! I studied it several times and didn't understand it. ”

"Okay, I'll teach you."

The sister-in-law listed the formulas on the straw paper and gave Mu Yang an example, and it didn't take long for Mu Yang to understand the one-dimensional equation.

Then I asked my sister-in-law a few questions, Muyang found that my sister-in-law was really powerful, and she knew everything, and she was about to ask again, but her aunt and grandmother shouted to eat, and this learning trip could only be stopped.

After eating, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and by this time the night began to get longer, and the day was shorter, so it was already pitch black outside.

The dark night made Muyang a little scared, he didn't dare to go home, and in the end, it was his sister-in-law and father who sent Muyang to the street with flashlights.

"Goodbye!" Muyang waved his hand.

A flashlight flickered twice in the night.

When he got home, Mu Chen hadn't come back yet, so Mu Yang went upstairs directly to open the diary and write the diary.

"I'm very happy today, my sister-in-law solved my mathematical doubts, and told me about the new things in the county, and there are many interesting people, I decided, I also want to study hard and get into a good high school, I won't go out to work for the time being."

When he closed the diary, a dry flat leaf leaked out, and Mu Yang opened the page to see that it was a maple leaf sandwiched in the middle of his elementary school.

The maple leaves have dried up and there is no trace of red, but fortunately, the texture is still very clear, as if it was put in recently.

Travel back in time to three years ago.

Three years ago, I also had such a wish, I wrote a diary in one afternoon and sandwiched the maple leaf into the diary, hoping to get a good junior high school exam.

The moon finally turned round, and that night Muyang's mother put the moon cakes on the tribute table of the gods from all walks of life.

Insert incense and kneel on the ground to worship the Bodhisattva.

"Bodhisattva bless, family health and peace." Pray silently in your heart.

Incense kneeling to the God of Wealth.

"God of Wealth blesses, make a fortune." Silent in my heart.

Incense is planted to worship the head of the family, the king of the stove.

Muyang saw that the god painting said that the heavens said good things, and the lower realm was safe, so he knelt on the ground and bowed seriously.

……

The last is the moon, Muyang's mother said that when the moon comes out, put the moon cake on the windowsill, and then the moon god can eat it.

Muyang doesn't believe in this statement, after all, on this day, the people of the whole country have to worship the moon god, how can the moon god eat so many moon cakes.

After all, the two brothers are still children at this time, and every time they burn incense, they think that they can eat something delicious after burning incense, and this year's moon cakes are delicious moon cakes filled with jujube paste, which are much more delicious than five kernels.

The two of them sat in front of the TV, waiting for the moon cakes to eat while watching the party, looking at it, Mu Chen suddenly exclaimed.

"Brother, the black tiger stole the mooncakes."

As soon as Muyang turned his head, he saw a huge dog's head eating moon cakes under the moonlight, a big black dog lying on the window eating a large piece, and the two brothers scolded the dog with grief and anger.

Muyang's parents also came out when they heard the sound, and his father took off his cloth shoes and aimed at the dog's buttocks.

"Brute, let you steal it."

The black tiger was frightened, and before running away, he picked up another piece of mooncake and disappeared into the darkness.

The family went to the window to see that there was still half a moon cake left in the basin, and they couldn't help but curse the black tiger.
