Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 122 Warm hospitality
Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing were talking in the room when they suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "Who are you talking to?"

"My mother is back!" Hu Guoqing said as he walked towards the door. Before Hu Guoqing reached the door, a woman who looked about 30 years old came in from the door. In Mu Zhen's eyes, this age was different from Hu Guoqing's. The age of National Day's mother was extremely disproportionate, not to mention that she was wearing a sky blue denim shirt on her upper body and a black pleated skirt on her lower body, the skirt almost reaching her ankles. This attire immediately made Mu Zhen feel that this woman was not like a rural woman, and even more so. He looked like a person with status in the unit, with a pair of big eyes on his clear round face, which made Mu Zhen immediately think of him as if he had seen it in some movie or in life.

"This is the classmate Mu Zhen I told you about!" Hu Guoqing pointed to Mu Zhen who was standing aside and introduced.

"I mentioned you a lot in front of me during the National Day, and I always praised you, how good you are. Now that I really met, I really let him praise you. You are my great benefactor on the National Day. This is not a national day. You live with him, and I agreed immediately, and I will not treat you as an outsider when you live with me in the future, you just live here as your family, just wait, I will cook for you." Said, Turned around and was about to go out.

"Auntie, I have to go back to school. If I don't eat here, I don't need to bother you!" Mu Zhen was infected by Hu Guoqing's mother's enthusiasm, a little bit overwhelmed, and said hastily.

"It's okay, no trouble, I'll simply make something to eat, and I'll let you two go to school together after dinner! You just learn here, and I'll do it soon." After speaking, he turned his head briskly The skirt also made a half circle along the body, almost floating up.

When Hu Guoqing's mother went out, Hu Guoqing pointed to the alarm clock on the table and said to Mu Zhen: "It's past four o'clock now, it's not too late for us to go back to school after dinner, besides, my mother asked me to call you I haven't mentioned eating at home once, I always felt that I was afraid of affecting your study, so I didn't call you!"

Mu Zhen immediately came to her senses and responded, "That's so embarrassing!" Mu Zhen recalled that during the semester when she lived at Liu Xuchang's house, apart from dealing with Liu Xuchang, she really rarely met his parents. Gui, let alone have eaten at his house, and now that everything has just begun, eating at Hu Guoqing's house always feels uncomfortable.

"It's okay, it's normal, and besides, you've helped me so much, I really don't know how to thank you!" Hu Guoqing said very politely.

"Where did you say that? We were able to talk together because of fate. Even if I don't help, you will step into the school again!" Mu Zhen said sincerely.

"I don't need to say more polite words. If you come to live in my house, we will be treated as brothers. Wouldn't we be closer?" Hu Guoqing had the experience of not entering school this semester, as if he had grown up all at once Many, his own helplessness when herding sheep made him understand a lot of truths in life. The moment he met Mu Zhen, he regarded Mu Zhen as a close friend in his heart. Now it is not too much to say that he is a brother, because In his heart, Mu Zhen who stood in front of him was three points closer than his own brother, perhaps it was for this reason that he praised Mu Zhen in front of his mother from time to time.

Mu Zhen didn't answer, turned around and sat in front of the writing desk, and then he noticed that the study plan that Hu Guoqing had posted on the wall was always arranged until twelve o'clock every night, and the middle arrangement was very tight. It can be seen that this plan is In the race against time, Mu Zhen not only asked: "This is your plan, are you trying so hard to buy lost time?"

"That's right. Compared with the students at school, I have already lost a semester. I have to regain this time so that I can catch up with the homework you have learned. I can't hold back the class, otherwise I can't!" Hu Guoqing's tone was very affirmative.

Mu Zhen was silent. The Hu Guoqing in front of him was indeed the Hu Guoqing in his mind. When he first met him, he felt that he was not a simple shepherd boy. Now it seems that he is indeed the case. To Hu Guoqing, the shepherd boy It's just a temporary title, and the final success will definitely be accompanied by this former shepherd boy.

Seeing that Mu Zhen didn't speak, Hu Guoqing walked out of the house by himself. After a while, Hu Guoqing came in again with a wooden chair in his hand, put the chair in front of the single desk, and said to Mu Zhen: "Two seats, We are one person, from now on, you are my brother, my teacher, and my best friend, we urge and encourage each other, we only want one, and we can enter the ideal high school together!"

Mu Zhen nodded, and Hu Guoqing handed over the paper and pen, and said to him: "Look, there are textbooks and workbooks there. If you want to learn something now, you can take it yourself." After speaking, he sat down at the desk, and Turning on the incandescent tube, the room suddenly became much brighter.

Mu Zhen took out a math exercise book from the stack of books in front of him. Hu Guoqing looked at him and took out an English textbook by himself. The two of them did not speak to each other and devoted themselves to their studies.

About half an hour passed, and a childish voice came from outside the door: "Brother, it's time to eat!"

When Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing heard the shout, they raised their heads almost at the same time. Hu Guoqing clasped his hands together, stretched them straight up, and said softly, "Let's have dinner, and we'll go to school after dinner."

Then the two stood up almost at the same time, Hu Guoqing walked to the door a few steps, stretched his head to look outside, and shouted: "Little girl, where is the meal?"

"Of course it's in the main room!" It was still that immature voice.

"Let's go eat!" Hu Guoqing said, waving to Mu Zhen.

Mu Zhen stood still, he was still hesitating, living here has already caused troubles for others, how can he still eat here?
Hu Guoqing seemed to see Mu Zhen's thoughts, and said bluntly: "Didn't you just say that? We are not brothers but brothers. What are you thinking? You must be thinking too much!"

"No, no!" Mu Zhen stammered back, and took steps towards the door.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the main room after a few steps, and a girl who seemed to be five or six years old walked out of the main room, and saw the two of them shouting: "Brother, wash your hands before meals!"

Hu Guoqing turned back and smiled, and said to Mu Zhen: "We really have to listen to my little girl, otherwise she won't let us eat!"

Mu Zhen smiled, feeling that this family is really more hygienic than her own. Such a young child knows to wash hands before meals, and good family habits are also the beginning of a good life.

The two came to the water tank in the yard, poured water into the washbasin, and washed their hands together. Hu Guoqing's mother, who was filling the bowl in the kitchen, greeted: "After washing your hands, come here and serve the rice bowl!"

Hu Guoqing agreed, wiped his hands and walked into the kitchen to serve the bowl. Mu Zhen was about to enter the kitchen too, but Hu Guoqing said, "You don't need to come, you just go to the main room!"

Mu Zhen walked into the main room obediently, and found two dishes on the table, one was her favorite potato shreds, and the other was fried eggs with peppers, which made Mu Zhen feel that this aunt really regarded herself as a When I saw a guest, I immediately felt very sorry.

After Hu Guoqing came in, he put the rice bowl on the chopping board, his mother and Mu Zhen said a few more polite words, then sat down humbly, and the four of them picked up the bowl in front of them and ate together.

This meal is very delicious to Mu Zhen. The potatoes are silky and smooth, a little sticky, and slightly crispy in the mouth. This is the best soy potato shreds that Mu Zhen has ever eaten, and it is also the most memorable potato shreds , As for the plate of scrambled eggs, it is even more spicy and tempting, especially the fragrance of the egg's unique protein, which made Mu Zhen couldn't help but want to eat more.

There was nothing to say at the dinner table. After the meal, Hu Guoqing and his mother briefly talked, and then pulled Mu Zhen to the school.
