Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 151
Xiuhua dropped the work in her hands and followed Lao Mu back home. He first went to the bedside and took out the fish money sold in the past three days, counted it, and then took out 15 yuan and handed it to Mu Zhen. Zhou's living expenses, he really can't afford more money, except for the 15 yuan for Mu Zhen, and after deducting the two days' expenses, the remaining is less than five yuan.

Xiuhua said to Lao Mu: "We took 20 yuan for the wedding wine last time, and at least this amount is needed for the wedding noodles this time. No matter how little it is, we can't afford it!"

"I don't understand this matter either. You can do it as you see fit. Logically speaking, I can't go either. When you see Da'an, don't forget to tell me what happened to you recently and let him give him an idea!" the old man said. Mu confessed.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, let's talk about it now after finding the money to drink Ximian! I'll go to Tiancheng's house now, I guess it won't be difficult to borrow some money!" Xiuhua said, put away the rest of the money, and went out He left the house and walked towards the village.

Just turning the corner of the school, when she ran into Lianying, Xiuhua said enthusiastically, "What a coincidence, I was thinking of looking for you!"

"I heard from my Xiaojian that your Muzhen came back for Sunday, Tiancheng asked me to rush here, saying that your family is building a house, and money is tight, so let me send some living expenses to your family Muzhen, no, I was afraid that your Muzhen would return to school, so I sent it early." Lianhua said while holding Xiuhua's hand: "Let's talk about it when we go home!"

"Look, it's really troublesome for Tian Cheng to still think about my predicament!" Xiuhua was grateful.

The two of them turned the corner and entered the courtyard. Old Mu saw that Xiuhua came back so quickly, holding Lianying in her hand, and asked in surprise, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"It's a coincidence that Tiancheng specially arranged for Lianying to send us Mu Zhen some living expenses, so I happened to meet her." Xiuhua explained.

Lian Ying hastily repeated what Tian Cheng said again. Old Mu did not expect that Tian Cheng was so thoughtful in his heart. Regarding his own difficulties, he never mentioned it to Tian Cheng. Let others guess what was in his heart. Friendship, what kind of affection is this, thinking of this, his eyes feel a little moist: "Look, I have made him worry about me again!" Lao Mu felt a little embarrassed.

"We are not only neighbors, but you two are also good classmates. Tian Cheng always thinks about you. He told me about this yesterday. I didn't come over because I was busy. Early this morning, he specially arranged for me to come over again. Tell me not to be late when Mu Zhen returns to school. This will not allow me to send 50 yuan on purpose. He also repeatedly told me to remind you that you can directly tell me if you have any difficulties in the future. If you can’t help with other things, just tell me when you need money! As Lianying said, she took out five ten-yuan bills and handed them to Xiuhua.

Xiuhua was polite for a while, and said: "I really thank Tian Cheng for thinking of me. When the crops are harvested after autumn, I will return the money after selling them."

"You don't have to worry, you two students, plus the usual family expenses, can't do anything without money. Besides, my family has started a side business in the past two years, thanks to the help of Old Mu, otherwise it wouldn't be a little bit Spare money!" Lianying's words were very to the point, she knew that Tian Cheng had something unsatisfactory, she often consulted with Lao Mu, Tian Cheng often mentioned that although Lao Mu was his classmate, this classmate was better than his own brother.

"Don't speak so well of him again, it's all right!" Xiuhua replied very politely.

"Hey, look at my mouth, it's just gossip. Just now you said you were looking for me. What's the matter? Come and listen!" Lianying suddenly remembered that Xiuhua said she was looking for something about herself.

"I have nothing to do. I just want to tell you that a lot of fish have come up to the west of our village these days due to retting. I want to ask you to catch a few together." Xiuhua reacted very quickly and put There was no mention of borrowing money, but Lianying sent 50 yuan, which is enough for drinking Ximian this time, and with the remaining few yuan, I can catch some more fish tomorrow. It is estimated that the pocket money during the autumn harvest Money is no longer an issue.

"In addition to washing and cooking at home every day, I also take care of the work in the field. From time to time, I also go to the pigpen to help clean up. Sometimes I am choked by the smell in the pigpen. How can I catch any fish? " Lianying immediately rejected Xiuhua's kindness.

"It's okay, you are busy with your work, I will catch some fish tomorrow, and I will give you some big ones to try!" Xiuhua felt that with the money, the family's expenses were covered, and the urgent need was temporarily relieved, so naturally she would not be so concerned. Under great economic pressure, why not make up for personal favors?
"Why are you so polite! It's getting late, and I have to go back to prepare lunch for Xiao Jian, so I won't delay your business!" After speaking, he turned and walked out of the courtyard.

"Then I won't give it away!" Lao Mu said looking at Lian Ying's back.

"This is not a guest, so don't send it away!" Lianying turned her head and walked out of the door waving her hands.

But Xiuhua rushed to the door, and after being polite for a while, she returned to the courtyard and said to Lao Mu: "Look at Tiancheng, he never treats us as outsiders, this is a timely gift!"

Lao Mu nodded and said: "In the past, some people always said that being rich is not benevolent. Seeing that we are naturally born and open-minded, we are definitely not that kind of person. We are definitely a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Such a person is not respected by others. Who else would be respected?"

Hearing what Lao Mu said, Mu Bao ran out of the house, and said to Lao Mu: "I will definitely earn a lot of money in the future, and then I will be respected like Uncle Tian Cheng!"

"Okay, at that time, your father's face will also be covered with gold, and I will grow up with you too!" Xiuhua praised Mu Bao's still slightly childish face.

Mu Zhen heard the discussion in the courtyard, and thought in her heart: Mu Bao is so young, he will be flattered, he must be a genius in the future, and he has a good subjective initiative, it is difficult to think about it!
Once the atmosphere in the courtyard was active, they split up to do their own work, and the small courtyard returned to its former calm...
