Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 146
When Xiuhua returned home, she saw the food on the table and shed tears unknowingly. Today at the fair, although someone only cheated her of two yuan by tricks, she was cheated twice in the past month. , Did you put the label of "gullible" on your face?
Mu Bao, who just got up from the bed, saw Xiuhua's tears first. He ran forward, looked at his mother suspiciously, and asked angrily, "My brother must have made you angry!"

Xiuhua shook her head, wiped her tears, but did not speak.

"Then, what's the matter with you?" Mu Bao took Xiuhua's hand and asked, shaking it non-stop.

"No, it's nothing, I just feel that my eyes are itchy!" Xiuhua didn't want an ignorant child to know so much, and she didn't want to speak out what happened in the episode just now, letting the child know her incompetence. Even at the market, when she saw that her money was two yuan short, she didn't say a word to Mu Zhen.

The conversation between Mu Bao and Xiuhua made the whole family feel sudden, especially Xiuhua's last sentence explaining the itchy eyes, which could be hidden from a child like Mu Bao, but not from old Mu and Mu Zhen. Thinking: "Wiping tears as soon as I got home from the market, I must have encountered something unpleasant, and it is inconvenient to say this kind of thing, I can't say it, that is something that Mu Zhen offended her and made Xiuhua feel uncomfortable. It is inconvenient to say it, but there is no basis for it, and you can't reprimand Mu Zhen for no reason, or it may be self-defeating."

Mu Zhen had other ideas. Xiuhua's performance in the episode made him very surprised. At that time, Xiuhua went after the murloc, but she didn't understand the reason for the chase. After she came back, she looked very ugly. Didn't say, did you get bullied by that person?But judging from the short time, what should have happened?Now my mother's tears told me that my mother must have other secrets, and it was really hard to guess what the secret was.

Mu Yan came in with steamed buns and greeted the whole family: "Hurry up and eat, my dishes are getting cold!"

Old Mu deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "Eat, eat, we caught so many fish today, we should celebrate, Mu Bao, bring me a glass of wine!"

"Okay, I'll get it!" After Mu Bao finished speaking, he put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, walked to the table in the inner room, picked up the wine bottle with half a bottle left, unscrewed the lid in vain while walking, and took the The two-liang cup on the Eight Immortals' table was half poured and handed to Lao Mu.

"This is a good boy!" Lao Mu took the cup and praised him.

Xiuhua was a little surprised when she saw Lao Mu pour the wine by herself. She had been with Lao Mu for so many years, but she had never seen him drink at home. There must be something on her mind, and this mind must be related to the tears she shed just now. She wanted to persuade her, but she choked when she reached the point of her mouth. Seeing Lao Mu's expression, she seemed to know that she couldn't persuade her this time. She knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming. For Lao Mu, the saddest moment of the year is coming, and she can't stop such things from happening, but her performance today aroused Lao Mu's thoughts.

Xiuhua was thinking about her own thoughts. From the bottom of her heart, she really didn't want everyone to see her emotional changes, but she was a person who couldn't hide her heart, which made herself very distressed. It was just like this, the more she thought about it Persuading Lao Mu, she said to Lao Mu: "I'm a little uncomfortable. It's a big holiday, so you should drink less!" Xiuhua wanted you to use the discomfort to cover up her inner irritability.

"I'll drink a little, don't worry, I won't drink too much!" As he spoke, he put the wine glass to his mouth, raised his neck, the wine glass faced the sky, poured all the white wine into his mouth, and heard a "gu dong", the old man With a movement of Mu's throat, the white wine poured into his mouth was immediately swallowed.

Old Mu grabbed the wine bottle next to him again, and poured half a glass himself. This time Xiuhua seemed to really couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up, grabbed the wine glass from Old Mu's hand and said, "I can't drink any more, drink like this." Something will happen!"

"What's going to happen?" Lao Mu stared straight at Xiuhua. The straight eyes made Xiuhua feel cold. This kind of eyes were different from the eyes of a mental patient. Xiuhua immediately softened. Immediately throwing his troubles to the sky, he said earnestly: "If you drink like this again, I will be really scared, don't you understand?"

Xiuhua's fear of uttering words immediately stopped the three children who were eating. They stared blankly at Xiuhua's face and stood there in a daze, as if they were asking, "What are you afraid of?"

Mu Zhen knew in her heart that Lao Mu must do some inexplicable things every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She never thought that this time it would come so early.But when this time comes every year, Mu Zhen always endures silently, letting it go, and allowing it to develop. At this juncture this year, he still adopts the practice of previous years, unwilling to say, his first thought is to escape.

Xiuhua stared at Lao Mu, and tried to persuade: "I'm afraid that if you drink too much, it will be bad for your health!"

"It's okay, I'm fine, you're cursing me when you say something is wrong!" Lao Mu replied dismissively.

After Lao Mu finished speaking, he stood up, and was about to snatch the wine bottle from Xiuhua, when Mu Yan stood up with a "chuckle", grabbed the wine bottle in his hand, and turned around with the bottle in front of Lao Mu. After walking two steps, he stood at the door and slammed down on the stone next to the door. Hearing a "bang", the wine bottle was smashed to pieces, and the wine on the stone spilled all over the floor. Then he said angrily: " Drink, drink, let you drink!"

Mu Yan's actions immediately stunned the whole family, especially the old Mu at this moment, who seemed to be dumbfounded at this moment, and did not dare to say a word.

Xiuhua hurriedly said to Lao Mu: "Look, look, your daughter is mad!"

Mu Yan's actions seemed to pull Lao Mu back from another world. Hearing what Xiuhua said, she immediately responded: "Good fall, good fall, let's stop drinking if we fall!"

Seeing this scene, Mu Bao and Mu Zhen didn't dare to speak. Mu Zhen thought to herself: "My sister has made a big mess by doing this!"

Unexpectedly, not only did Lao Mu not get angry, but he said a little reproachfully: "Look, my daughter understands me, you two bastards, you know how to eat!"

Xiuhua took the words and said: "Everyone loves you, the children are grown up, it's time for you to correct your problems! These years, I know you are depressed, but this will have an end!"

Old Mu lowered his head and didn't speak. Mu Yan looked at Lao Mu's actions and knew it was a little too much, so she changed her tone and said, "I don't want this to happen to my father. We caught so many fish today, and everyone's faces are ugly. What's going on, mother, tell me first!"

Although Mu Yan is uneducated, she has a sharp mouth and a good brain. She analyzed everything logically. Two years ago, when the old Mu and his wife were not at home, she reasoned with the neighbor by herself, and she insisted that the neighbor was dumb. Silently, this also made Lao Mu give her three points.At this time, Mu Yan raised this question, which made Xiuhua feel cold. She was afraid that the children would laugh at her, but now Mu Yan's aggressive words forced her to tell what happened in the market.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiuhua's words fell, some old Mu's dusty past was brought out.
