Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 115 The warmth of home
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, and Mu Zhen hadn't been home for four weeks. He didn't want home at all. For him, home was just a place where relatives lived, and everything else seemed to have nothing to do with him, just like when he was in the valley. As in Chengyi Middle School, he no longer has any longing for home. He is willing to stay in school and be with teachers and classmates. What a wonderful time it is. There are like-minded friends, teachers who preach and teach, and freedom. Except for class time, almost every minute of the living space is his own. Mu Zhen feels that she has grown up and can completely control her own time. He likes this kind of freedom and likes to arrange everything independently. Therefore, he didn't want to go home to face his father's tepid eyes, let alone listen to his mother's endless exhortations.

After lunch, Mu Zhen didn't rush to pack up her things and set foot on the way home like the other students. Instead, she went to the classroom to finish the homework assigned in the morning. When she was about to get up and go home, Hu National Day came to the classroom just after dinner, and looked at him in surprise: "Why haven't you come home yet?"

"Just getting ready to leave!" Mu Zhen wanted to laugh at his expression, but she didn't, and calmly answered his question.

"I haven't been home for almost a month, don't you miss home?" Hu Guoqing didn't understand Mu Zhen in front of him.

"I miss home, what do I miss at home? The house at home is also available here. Nothing in the house can be used here, and there is no need to think about it at all. Only the relatives in the house, you think the same, and it's still good if you don't want it. What can you think about?" Mu Zhen asked back.

"That's right, you really have nothing to think about at home, so you have to go home and have a look. You don't want your family, and your family misses you!" Hu Guoqing said in a very sure tone.

"My family has nothing to think about me. I am doing well here, and my relatives at home are more at ease than at home. What do you think they miss me? I am afraid that I will not study well, so I will study hard. In this way Do they still need to think about it?" Mu Zhen's words seemed to arouse something in Hu Guoqing's mind, Hu Guoqing's face darkened, and Mu Zhen stopped talking.

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I've finished my homework and I'm ready to go home!" Mu Zhen added, looking at Hu Guoqing who was a little dazed.

"Good luck!" Hu Guoqing happily responded to Mu Zhen as if he had suddenly woken up.

Mu Zhen’s luggage home is very simple, so simple that it only has a canvas military schoolbag that has been washed and faded for three years, and there is only one English textbook in it. He goes home and stays overnight, and returns the next morning For a month, except for a living allowance sent by my father, I have never contacted my family.Last week, a classmate who came home from the village came back to school and told him that the house was being built at home. After hearing this, he felt that building the house seemed to have little to do with him. Happy time of communication.Just as Hu Guoqing mentioned just now that he doesn't want to go home and his family misses him, from this point of view, it is really necessary for him to go home and have a look, and bring some living expenses from home by the way.

Mu Zhen stepped out of the classroom door and looked up at the sun. The sun was still very high, and the clouds directly above attracted him. The clouds looked a little high, like cotton wadding that had just been taken from a cotton machine and was hung in the sky. Similarly, Mu Zhen suddenly thought of Tagore's saying "A bird wishes to be a cloud, and a cloud wishes to be a bird". In the long river, looking back in nature, it is like this white cloud, which dissipates silently in an instant.

Mu Zhen left the school gate, sang and danced all the way, and ran towards home like a stroll in the courtyard.

When he walked on the familiar field path, he said he was familiar with it. It was the land where he was born and raised for more than ten years, the land where he was rooted, and he was familiar with the smell of the soil in the field. Traces of play.When he vaguely saw the new tiled roof in the south of the village, he already guessed that it was his new house. Then he looked around, and then looked up at the sky. The sun had quietly slipped down the treetops. The white cloud slid to nowhere, as if seeing the illusion of "the sky is like a dome covering the four fields".This is the beauty of my hometown. At this time, I suddenly know "home" again. What is home?Home is not only the place where relatives live, but more importantly, the nostalgia and the local accent, and there is something deeper, which is to take root.No matter where you go, no matter where you are, the water and soil here, every plant and tree here are stained with your traces, and they all form an inseparable relationship with you. A large number of well-known voices of hometown love.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhen's steps became lighter, and his steps were much faster. He wanted to go home quickly and see his relatives.

Walking to the entrance of the village, you can see idle pedestrians on the street. Mu Zhen has to walk through the village again before arriving at her home.When he saw people in the village, he greeted them one by one, "Auntie, Auntie, Grandpa, Grandma" very kindly, and everyone was willing to talk to him. From time to time, some people joked, "Look, I haven't seen you for a long time, clever Great!"

Mu Zhen quickly passed through the village. Mu Bao, who was playing at the gate of the school, saw Mu Zhen for the first time and shouted loudly: "Brother, brother!" Mu Zhen's hand was so affectionate as if she hadn't seen it for several years, and she said: "Our family is building a new house, I will take you to see it!"

Mu Zhen responded: "Go home first, and then go to see the new house!" While talking, she pulled her younger brother and walked towards the house with a smile.

Turning the corner, I saw Mu Yan standing at the gate of my house: "Brother, you are finally back. Our mother has been talking about you for the past two days, but you are here!" Mu Yan said as she walked to Mu Zhen, He took off his schoolbag from his body and shouted to his mother who was washing vegetables in the courtyard: "Mom, my brother is back!"

When Xiuhua heard Mu Yan's shout, she immediately put down the vegetables in her hand, and she seemed a little excited when she saw Mu Zhen walking into the yard: "You brought so little money this month, there is still money to spend!"

"Yes, I spend very sparingly!" Mu Zhen responded without understanding what Xiuhua meant.

"Have you asked your classmates to bring you money?" Xiuhua asked.

Mu Zhen was taken aback: "What kind of money are you bringing?"

"If you don't take it, you don't take it. I'm afraid you don't have the money, so I'm asking that!" Xiuhua immediately understood that she didn't need to mention things that Mu Zhen didn't know, as long as he didn't know and was not punished. Disturbed, better than anything.

"Didn't my father send me money once during this period? I didn't spend much at first, except for a la carte, I didn't spend any money!" Mu Zhen explained.

"That's good, that's good. There's still fish in the water tank. I'll stew fish for you tonight." As he spoke, he went into the room and took out a kitchen knife and wooden board. Come long carp.

"In the past two days, my mother said that she would cook the stew until you came back!" Mu Bao said, smacking his lips and swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Mu Yan looked at Mu Bao's appearance and said with a smile: "Look at the greedy cat, it's drooling!"

"Are you greedy?" Mu Bao said with a grimace, then took Mu Zhen's hand and said, "Ignore her, let her cook at home, and I'll show you the new house we built!"

After Mu Bao finished speaking, he pulled Mu Zhen up and ran out of the gate.
