Chapter 144 Mid-Autumn Festival Plot
It’s the weekend again, and this week’s weekend is different from the past. The weekend and the Mid-Autumn Festival are approaching. The students all know that this is an excellent opportunity for the family to improve their lives in addition to the Spring Festival. Therefore, when the school bell rang at noon, many students also had dinner. I didn't care about eating, so I set foot on the way home.

Mu Zhen also thought of going home, but he hesitated again on the choice. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and even though the life of the family will be improved every year because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it does not arouse his interest in going home. He looked at the empty dormitory , I felt lost, and it seemed that the sadness of old Mu when I was a child on the Mid-Autumn Festival night appeared in front of my eyes. At that time, Mu Zhen didn't know why her father was frowning. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of family reunion for Chinese people all over the world, but for my father, Lao Mu, it is a day of joys and sorrows. I heard from my mother that several years ago, it was on this night that my father and grandma spent together. On the last Mid-Autumn Festival night, on the second day, grandma went to a distant place alone. Since then, there has been no news from her. My father has never seen grandma again, nor has he received any information from grandma. Every Mid-Autumn night, the night is quiet Every now and then, my mother could hear my father sighing while sitting alone in the courtyard. It was so lonely and desolate, and it was a kind of helplessness that seemed to be a generation away. When he was young, his mother would always try her best to enlighten him, but those helpless words could hardly heal a man's wounded heart in childhood.

Mu Zhen walked out of the dormitory, seeing the glare of the slightly westward sun, she immediately pulled Mu Zhen into real life. I haven't tasted it, but it can't replace the sweetness of the rice noodle pot cake posted by my mother anyway. This is the plot of home.In a person's life, no matter where you go, no matter how high your status is, the status of family in people's hearts is irreplaceable. The kind mother's love will always endow infinite legends, and there will always be meanings that can only be expected or not. The philosophy of speech, accompanied by life through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the four seasons can change, the weather can be impermanent, the only constant is the mother's love, just like the poet's "Who speaks the heart of an inch of grass , repay the three Chunhui", the heart is connected with the heart, this kind of emotion is hard to let go, and it will never be cut.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhen made up her mind to go home and have a look, and at the same time ask for some living expenses at school from home.

When Mu Zhen returned home, she couldn't do without listening to Mu Bao's nagging, such as the owner's dog gave birth again, and the west's cat caught a big mouse. Mu Bao said: "Don't talk about other people's affairs, talk about our family's affairs!"

"Our family, our family's life has been good these two days, there are fish to eat every day, and our mother goes to the market to sell fish every day!" Mu Bao said happily.

"Why are there so many fish?" Mu Zhen asked suspiciously.

"Well, I can't tell you. If you want to know, just ask my sister!" Mu Bao tilted his head and stopped talking.

Looking at Mu Bao's appearance, Mu Zhen looked very cute, so she laughed at Mu Bao and said, "You are so small, how do you know about adults?"

"Don't look down on people, my mother found a lot of fish in the stream west of the village, so she asked my sister to catch them together, if you don't believe me, you can ask my sister!" Mu Bao argued.

Mu Yan, who was washing vegetables, heard Mu Bao's eloquent words, so she took the words and said: "These two days are all dependent on the stream at the west end of the village, otherwise our family will really not be able to solve the problem!"

Mu Zhen couldn't help but her heart tightened, and she was so shocked that she didn't speak for a while.

"The family can't get rid of the pot, and they all rely on catching fish for their livelihood. What do I rely on for my living expenses?" Mu Zhen thought of this, and asked Mu Yan, "You said that the family has no money at all?"

"It's not like that, isn't the fish money our mother sold these two days money?" Mu Yan replied.

"Oh!" Mu Zhen didn't continue to ask. He knew that due to the construction of the house, it was expected that the family would have no money. He didn't expect to be so tight.

Seeing that Mu Zhen didn't speak, Mu Yan looked at Mu Zhen's pensive expression, and immediately guessed what her brother was thinking, and said: "I will definitely catch bigger and more fish tomorrow, and then you will catch them in the market." Sell ​​it, and the money you get in exchange is enough for half a month of your school expenses!"

Mu Zhen stared at Mu Yan and asked, "How do you know that you will catch bigger and more fish?"

Mu Yan replied: "I can't tell you that, but you will find out when you go to the creek tomorrow morning to have a look!"

After hearing this, Mu Zhen didn't speak anymore, and went directly into the room, opened the textbook she brought, but her heart couldn't settle down, and her mind was in chaos. The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a day for family reunion. It's hard to calm down, but today's Mid-Autumn Festival is nothing, which adds a little sadness. This Mid-Autumn Festival will inevitably be a sad, helpless, and depressing festival. If tomorrow can really be as Mu Yan said , If you can catch more fish, your living expenses will be settled. If you don’t catch more fish, what about your living expenses at school?Thinking of this, Mu Zhen touched her pocket. In his pocket was the money that Uncle Tian Cheng gave during the summer vacation. That money, Mu Zhen has always insisted on the principle of saving as much as possible. Although almost a month has passed, the money is still in his pocket. Not even half was spent.Mu Zhen knew that if she couldn't catch fish tomorrow as Mu Yan said, the money in her pocket would be her living expenses in school.

Looking at Mu Yan who was busy cooking outside the window, Mu Zhen felt a wave of embarrassment in her heart. When will the predicament of life be the end?
At dinner time, Mu Zhen couldn't help swallowing the tempting smell of fish on the table. In school, he hadn't eaten such a delicacy for some days, but looking at the delicacy on the table, Mu Zhen mentioned Can't bear the appetite to eat, he knows that tomorrow morning, his living expenses still need to be guaranteed by the fish in the stream!

"Mu Zhen, what are you thinking?" Xiuhua was very surprised to see that the chopsticks that Mu Zhen had raised were hanging there, and they didn't come down for a long time.

"No, I didn't think about anything, I just thought the fish was delicious, and I haven't eaten such a good meal for a long time!" Mu Zhen replied hastily in a hurry, covering it up.

"Tomorrow morning, you will follow me to the west of the village to pick up fish, and I will show you how pleasing this fish is!" Xiuhua said with a smile on her face.

"Okay, I'll follow you!" Mu Zhen said happily.

"I'll go too, and I'll follow along to see how to catch the fish!" Mu Bao yelled.

"Eat quickly, go tomorrow when you can get up!" Xiuhua said to Mu Bao.

"Just you lazy cat, every Sunday, if you don't sleep until the sun is shining and you can't wake up, how can you still get up?" Mu Yan said with a contemptuous look at Mu Bao.

"Let's try tomorrow, if you start I'll get up!" Mu Bao said angrily.

"Okay, let's make a bet, if you get up, I'll give you two cents!" Mu Yan still said confidently.

"Let's pull the hook!" Mu Bao said and stretched out his right little finger to Mu Yan.

"If you pull the hook, then pull the hook. What if you lose?" Mu Yan took Mu Bao into the army. For Mu Bao, what is the gamble?

Mu Bao pondered for a moment, then snapped up and said, "Then bet you will cook for a week!"

After listening to Mu Bao's words, the whole family laughed because of his wit.

Lao Mu, who had been listening to them all the time, couldn't hold back anymore, and quickly said: "Stop arguing, eat first, and I'll be the referee tomorrow!"

Everyone immediately dumbed down their horns and stopped making any sound.
