Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 150
Old Mu, who was sitting in the main room, could hear what the two brothers said clearly. The image of himself in the hearts of his two sons seemed to be fierce, and he seemed to only know how to solve it by beating others. On the one hand, is there only one word "beaten" planted in the child's heart? He really doesn't understand, where did he go wrong in educating his children for so many years?
Since ancient times, there have been strict teachers who have produced excellent apprentices, and strict fathers who have produced filial sons. Isn't that what you do in yourself?Is it wrong to strictly discipline yourself?And when he heard Mu Bao's words about going to BJ, his heart immediately felt rippling again.

The kung fu I used on my two sons is indeed different. For Mu Zhen, he poured more expectations and put in more effort. It can be said that from the moment he was babbling, he never dared to let go easily. At that time, he regarded Mu Zhen as the continuation of his life, as his lifeblood, and because of this, when Mu Zhen had her haircut for the first time since Baitian, she left a bunch of hair on the back of her head. The elders in the village called it "eight-year-old hair". Only the sweethearts in the hands of parents will keep the first pinch of lanugo hair, and it can only be removed when they are eight years old. Said, almost inseparable, he went to school, took Mu Zhen with him, he went to the market, took Mu Zhen with him, every night when he went to bed, he always put Mu Zhen by his side, it seemed that only in this way could he rest assured.Although there is no kindergarten in the countryside, for Mu Zhen’s childhood, she spent almost all of her childhood in school with Lao Mu. What she heard and saw were books, accompanied by the sound of children reading aloud, which also cultivated Mu Zhen’s later life. interest in reading.For Mu Bao, Lao Mu did not spend as much effort as Mu Zhen. The reason was not that he did not regard Mu Bao as a jewel in his palm, but that he had carried out a series of thoughts on Mu Zhen's education. Why did other people in the village The child can grow into a towering tree smoothly under his own guidance, but such a big change has taken place in Mu Zhen. When she was young, Mu Zhen was as smart as any child he had taught. The performance after middle school, even the top ten in the class, there is only one reason, my own not letting go, blocked the development of the child's own thinking, so with Mu Bao, I no longer treated Mu Zhen like It took so much effort to participate in the children's study and life in a guiding way. Just now Mu Bao mentioned the idea of ​​going to BJ, which is the result of his free thinking, especially Mu Bao's contribution to the Central Radio Station. Let him have seen from Mu Bao the success of educating his own children in the past two years.

Every parent hopes that their children will have a future. For parents like Lao Mu, it is even stronger. They always try to pin their hopes on their children to achieve it. I paid too much attention to the child, grasped it too tightly, and failed to tap the child's subjective initiative, thus forming a formatted learning method and affecting the child's originality. Will be obliterated in this seemingly hotbed-like cradle.

"Is Mu Zhen at home?" A loud shout from outside the gate interrupted Lao Mu's thoughts. As if awakened from a dream, Lao Mu regained his composure and walked out of the house. He wanted to see what happened. Those who came to look for Mu Zhen still wanted to cheat again.

Mu Zhen also went out when she heard the cry, and replied loudly: "Yes!"

The people who walked into the courtyard outside the gate made Lao Mu and Mu Zhen stunned, and almost at the same time they reflected the same three words in their minds - I don't know each other.

"Are you looking for me?" Mu Zhen pointed to her nose and asked the visitor.

"I'm from Liu Village, and I'm here to announce my happiness!" The visitor immediately explained after seeing the duo's suspicion.

When Lao Mu heard the word "announcement", he immediately reacted, and hurriedly said: "Quick, please sit in the room!"

"I won't sit down anymore. Da'an's family is very happy and sent me to announce the happiness!" While talking, he took out a red egg from the cloth bag he was carrying and handed it to Lao Mu.

"When will the finished rice be delivered?" Lao Mu hurriedly asked.

"The sixteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar!" The visitor replied skillfully. Obviously, he had repeated this date countless times.

With a few simple words, Lao Mu sent away the person who announced the good news, but he was really a little stupid.

Da'an is happy to have a daughter, this is a good thing, and it is something worth celebrating. He almost broke his heart about this marriage. If she doesn't have a child, she is worried that the marriage will not be right. Now that she has a child, she should put her heart in her belly and be happy for the daughter, but he can't be happy. He clearly knows that his family The dilemma faced.

Before the mid-autumn festival, when the countryside was at a time when there was a shortage of money, the money that Xiu spent on fishing outside the village for the past two days was only enough for the family’s daily expenses. Today’s income was Mu Zhen’s living expenses at school, so the money for the wedding gift Where are you going to prepare?
Mu Bao, who ran out of the house, snatched the egg from old Mu, and shouted at Mu Zhen: "There are red eggs to eat!"

Xiuhua and Mu Yan went to work in the field. Old Mu looked at Mu Zhen and Mu Bao brothers, shook his head, put the red egg in his hand on the chopping board inside the house, pushed up his bicycle, and went out of the gate with his head turned. Without looking back, I rode to my own responsibility field.

Old Mu knew that this matter could not be delayed, the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month would only take two or three days, and within these two or three days, he had to discuss with Xiuhua as soon as possible how to prepare to go to Da'an's house for drinking noodles.Drinking Ximian is not a big deal for him, the biggest thing is that he can see his old cousin Daan who came home from his busy schedule, and he wants to discuss and resolve the two recent incidents with Daan, which is why he is so anxious the real reason.

Xiuhua, who was working in the field, was not surprised when she saw Lao Mu coming by bicycle. When Lao Mu came to the front and saw that Lao Mu didn't take any tools, she asked suspiciously: "You are empty-handed. What are you here for?"

"I'm not here to work, but I have something important to discuss with you." Lao Mu then told about Da'an's new daughter.

"It's a good thing, but for us, no matter what we give, we won't be able to pay for it!" Xiuhua and Lao Mu had the same worry.

"I came to you impatiently, just to discuss money matters with you. Shall I go to your mother's house to see if I can borrow some more?" Lao Mu said anxiously.

"We have taken a lot to build a house, and he is not our cash box, so how can we take it as we please!" Xiuhua disapproved of Lao Mu's reference.

"Then where else can we raise money? It's a big deal, and you know it well. I want to talk to Da'an about the troubles we encountered this month, and see if he can give us some advice!" the old man said. Mu said like a child begging an adult.

"There are thousands of ways in the world, don't keep thinking about my natal family, isn't there still your good classmate Tian Cheng in our village? Can't you just borrow some from his house and use it first?" Xiuhua reminded.

"Although they have some money now, they also have a lot of places to spend their money. How can we open our mouths? Even if we want to borrow, I want you to go. I definitely can't say it!" Lao Mu was a little playful at the critical moment The child's temper, for him, this face is bigger than the sky.

"Okay, I'll borrow it, you don't have to worry about it!" Xiuhua replied simply.

Lao Mu looked at Xiuhua's firm eyes, kept silent, and felt a little inexplicable pain in his heart. He is a scholar, and now he is just like Fan Jin back then, which made him feel very uncomfortable, even a little ashamed.
