Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 123
That night, Mu Zhen brought her own clothes from the dormitory to Hu Guoqing's home, and left only bedding and other bedding in the dormitory for her own lunch break, and also for the convenience of staying overnight in the dormitory in case of special circumstances in the future.

For this lodging, Mu Zhen has her own considerations. Although Hu Guoqing's house is very close to the school, unpredictable situations will inevitably occur. Once something happens, it is still the best policy to return to the dormitory in time, and there is no need to carry any bedding. He understands the principle of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. If there is a second place to live during the stay at Liu Xuchang's house, when any unpleasantness happens, he can withdraw from Liu Xuchang's place, and he will not fall into each other's sullen days. After such a long time, although those unpleasant things had little to do with them, they seriously affected the mutual trust and emotions, and even interfered with their normal life.Although Mu Zhen still had a grudge against lodging in her heart, she didn't want to directly reject Hu Guoqing's kindness this time.

When the two returned home, Hu Guoqing's mother still didn't rest, she sat in the yard and watched the stars in the sky alone.Hearing the sound of two people entering the door, he stood up immediately.

"After school, I have already boiled the water and put the water for washing your feet in your room." Hu Guoqing's mother's sweet words contained [-] points of concern.

"Thank you, auntie!" Mu Zhen admired this great mother from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't be so polite in the future. I am very happy that I can do something for you. If you are satisfied here in the future, I will be very content!" Hu Guoqing's mother spoke very naturally and decently, without being artificial at all. Mu Zhen was very grateful for hearing this.

Hu Guoqing persuaded his mother: "Mother, you should go to bed earlier, it's a bit cold outside, don't catch a cold sitting outside!"

Since the death of Hu Guoqing's father, Hu Guoqing has said this sentence many times. His mother insisted on sitting in the yard and watching the stars. The initial sighs have turned into silent silence. In his heart, although he can't fully understand his mother, he can read the helplessness and anxiety in his mother's heart every time he sees his mother sitting in the courtyard.

After Hu Guoqing finished speaking, he entered his room, turned on the light, and asked Mu Zhen, "Are you still reading?"

"Don't read it. My habit is to go back to the dormitory to sleep after class. There are no special circumstances. I won't work overtime and study!" Mu Zhen said while bringing a basin of footwashing water prepared by Hu Guoqing's mother, and put it on the bed. in front of the chair.

"Then you go to sleep after washing. Every night, I have to read the book for a while, to make up for the homework I missed earlier, and to preview some lessons for tomorrow." Hu Guoqing said from the stack of books on the desk. He took out a book and sat down at the table.

Mu Zhen looked at him from the side and didn't speak. He didn't want to affect Hu Guoqing's study and thinking because of his existence.He finished washing his feet quietly, and quietly put the footbath in its original position. On the first day of his stay, Mu Zhen didn't know where to pour the water, and Hu Guoqing's mother was sitting in the courtyard. So, he didn't want to disturb her thoughts and peace.

Mu Zhen got on the bed cautiously, lay on the bed sideways and looked at Hu Guoqing's study figure, her thoughts poured out like a floodgate that couldn't be blocked.

This friend of the same age as me is smart and studious, has his own ideals and pursuits, no matter what kind of life he faces, he always has a good vision and yearning for life, and his optimistic and positive attitude determines him. He is always full of passion for the future and has a steady stream of motivation. It is this age that needs family care the most, but loses a vital relative. In the days of losing a loved one, he is not immersed in pain, as he said He is so strong, he is so brave, he is so calm, he sent his relatives away, and immediately wiped away the pain in his heart. Dare not to stop at all, face life again, choose to seek knowledge, choose to pursue dreams, choose to be friends with knowledge, choose to coexist with ideals, and choose your own future path.Since we met, I have never seen his disappointment in the future. Even when I first met him as a shepherd, he had almost no chance to enter the school again. When his family asked him to learn to play the flute from his uncles, he still kept With love for life, Mu Zhen likes his fortitude, his freedom, and his progress. From Hu Guoqing, what he sees is hope, what he sees is the spirit of diligence and promise, and is deeply loved by him. Encouragement, although he has been infused with strength from time to time during this period, he is always the one who decides the future, and the influence of others is only the role of a leader. What can truly lead to success depends on his own efforts and struggles.

Mu Zhen's astringent eyes slowly closed, and her eyes traveled through time and space, and came to a quiet and peaceful world.A quiet river bend, a beautiful countryside, a village of thatched houses.A burst of gongs and drums from far and near broke the tranquility. This is not a festive music drum, nor is it a sad sound. When you walk closer, you can see that besides the music drum, there is also an official sedan chair carried by four people. , behind the sedan chair were a few soap servants, with sabers hanging from their waists, with an air of arrogance, which made the people busy in the fields feel a little awed.

"Master, what village is ahead?" The curtain of the official sedan chair was lifted, and a little white face with an official hat on his head poked out.

"My lord, Xiali Village is in front of me!" The master responded with his hands clasped together.

"Xiali Village, are there any squires in this village?" The little white face in the sedan chair continued to ask.

"There are no squires, but you don't know yet, there are father and son three scholars in this village, and these three scholars are still well-known in the county!" The master continued.

"What kind of fame, let's hear it." Xiaobailian continued to ask persistently.

"My lord, you have just arrived in office, so you are not familiar with it. In fact, this scholar may not fail to pass the exam. I heard that it is because his family is not rich. Every time he passes the exam, he sells it for some money to support his family. , but every test must be successful, and every test must be sold. The previous master visited this place, and because he heard about this, he even visited the house in person and wanted to invite them to be staff in the county. Unexpectedly, they were not interested in officialdom, and they are still here today. Free and easy in the countryside!" explained the master.

"There are still such things in the world? Since we have come to this house, we need to go up and see what is going on. If we don't join the government, what's the use of studying?" .

"Okay, let's visit the father and son and the three scholars again today!" After the master finished speaking, he walked quickly to the sedan chair to lead the way.

When the sedan chair arrived at the entrance of the village, the master hurriedly stopped, and the sedan chair also stopped immediately, and the little white face stuck out his head again: "What's the matter?"

"Master, according to the court regulations, among the three talented people in the village, the master should get off the sedan chair!" The master responded.

"I won't get out of the sedan chair, so what's the point of watching him? Keep going." The little boy was a little stubborn.

When the official sedan chair arrived in the village, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped out from the side of the street and stood in front of the sedan chair. Several servants behind the sedan chair rushed forward immediately, about to make a move.The master knew that this was the eldest among the three talented fathers and sons, so he immediately stepped forward, made a bow and said, "Our newly appointed master is here to inspect, why are you blocking the way?"

The great scholar bowed and said: "This is the way of an official, and it is reasonable to respect teachers and teach. This village, Xiali Village, has three scholars. County officials get off their sedan chairs, and generals get off their horses. Don't you know?"

The master was left speechless by the question.

The two were in a stalemate, and the little boy immediately shouted: "Get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair!"

The little white face came out of the sedan chair, walked up to the great scholar, and saluted slightly: "I don't know about it, I don't know, it's not strange, it's just a newcomer, how dare you not respect the teacher and pay attention to the teacher, learn from it, learn from it!"

"I heard that you don't enter the government, is there such a thing?" Xiaobailian asked.

"It's true that I didn't enter the government because I really didn't want to get dirty. It's really unbearable to be greeted and sent in the current officialdom." The great scholar said a few words, and the expressions of the master and the little white face changed greatly. The little white face suddenly became furious: "It's really the number of rotten wood that can't be carved!"

The big scholar looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves. The little white face suddenly turned pale, yelled, and fell on his back to the sky.

Mu Zhen made a smart move and woke up suddenly. It turned out that she had fallen asleep just now and saw Hu Guoqing still studying there. She turned her lower body without making a sound, and fell asleep quietly.
