Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 152 Immortals Are Different
After returning to school, Mu Zhen felt bad when she thought about the plight of her family. Over the years, poverty is nothing new to their family, but when will this kind of life be the end of it?He couldn't forget that his tablemate Su Wen made fun of him for the high pants he was wearing, and now who knows that his living expenses are made up from the money he catches and sells?
From time to time, Mu Zhen remembered what her mother said, "Everything is inferior, only reading is high". For herself, the only way to change all this is to study hard. Jobs can only be obtained through studying. In the past year, he has witnessed that Uncle Tian Cheng in the village has become relatively rich by raising pigs. How much he wants to be like Uncle Tian Cheng, who can change this family with his own efforts. What about changing yourself?Sometimes I get confused between reading and being rich.

With the beginning of the tense school life, Mu Zhen became indifferent to the unhappiness brought about by the predicament at home, especially the care of Hu Guoqing's mother, which made Mu Zhen's life more comfortable, especially the supper every night. He felt as if his relatives were by his side.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school suspended the lantern class. The students who were close to each other went home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with their families. The students who were further away, as usual, sat in the classroom and reviewed their homework, waiting for the bell to ring in the cafeteria.Mu Zhen, like the remaining classmates, was doing homework quietly there. Suddenly, Mu Zhen felt someone tap his left shoulder. He turned his head suddenly and asked softly, "Are you still going home?"

Hu Guoqing, who was standing behind Mu Zhen, smiled slightly, and responded softly, "Isn't this waiting for you?"

"Wait for me?" Mu Zhen asked suspiciously, pointing to the tip of her nose.

"Just waiting for you to come home with me!" Hu Guoqing said with certainty.

"It's too early to go home with you. I'll learn to study first and go to your house after dinner." Mu Zhen pointed to the book in front of her.

"Let's talk outside the classroom!" After speaking, they took Mu Zhen's hand and left the classroom together.

Mu Zhen felt a little baffled, the two went outside the classroom, and asked softly, "What do you want to say?"

"I went home at noon and told my mother that I couldn't take the lantern class. She said that no matter what, she would bring you home to have dinner together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Hu Guoqing said very earnestly.

"This, this is a bit inappropriate. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for your family reunion. It is not appropriate for me to participate!" Mu Zhen waved her hands repeatedly as she said.

"There is nothing inappropriate. Although you have not lived in my house for a long time, my mother no longer treats you as an outsider. She often tells me that I should treat you as my own brother!"

"That's what you said?" Mu Zhen felt very curious after hearing this. Is she so important to their family?

"That's still false. My mother said that I can go back to school and study again. You have a lot of credit, and I have made rapid progress in my studies during this period, and I am inseparable from you. Without you, I would not go directly to the third year of junior high school." The grade is most likely to be repeated!" Hu Guoqing said very seriously.

"I'm so embarrassed by what you said, how can I have such a great ability, I just played the role of throwing bricks and attracting jade, the real role is you, I live in your house, and I have caused you a lot of trouble !" Although Mu Zhen felt that Hu Guoqing's words were indeed reasonable, she was still modest and expressed her inner gratitude.

"Stop talking, anyway, if I can't take you home for dinner today, my mother will blame me for being dishonest!" Hu Guoqing seemed to be begging a little.

"Okay, okay, can't I listen to you?" Mu Zhen looked at Hu Guoqing's demeanor. If she didn't eat today's meal, she wanted to offend his mother. Wouldn't that be self-defeating and seem a little arrogant?

"Okay, let's go now, if there is any homework that can't be finished, take it home and write it!" Hu Guoqing said a little eagerly.

"Okay!" Mu Zhen turned and went back to the classroom, simply packed up the things on the desk, took an English textbook, and went home with Hu Guoqing.

The two were talking while walking, and when they first entered the house, they were greeted by the long-lost smell of fried meat, which directly stimulated Mu Zhen's very sensitive taste buds, and she felt that the secretion of saliva in her mouth increased a lot.

"Mom, I invited someone to do what you asked me to do. What delicious food did you make?" Hu Guoqing called to his mother who was busy in the kitchen.

"Okay, okay, wait for a while, it will be done soon!" Hu Guoqing's mother responded.

"Brother, come and help our mother cook the pot, I'm going to play with brother Mu Zhen!" The little girl who was sitting on the pot and went to add firewood to the bottom of the pot shouted.

When Hu Guoqing heard Xiaoya calling him, he immediately walked over, took the fire stick from Xiaoya's hand, sat in front of the pot, and added firewood to the bottom of the pot.

The little girl who walked out of the kitchen came to Mu Zhen: "Brother, do you know the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Mu Zhen was a little dazed about Xiaoya's question. It's been so long since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I really don't know how it happened?I didn't expect to be stumped by this six-year-old child.

Mu Zhen didn't want to be so embarrassed anymore, and said after a little thought: "Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. Every year on this day, it is the day when the moon is the largest and roundest. Because of this, it is also a day for family reunion. Many people in history Many literati have left a lot of poems to commemorate this day, so there is the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival.”

"You're not right. Just now my mother said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day when Chang'e flies to the moon. Everyone eats mooncakes to pray for blessings!" Xiaoya corrected with a smile innocently.

Mu Zhen was taken aback, her heart beat a little faster, her face was a little hot, and she hurriedly added: "These are two different things, one is from the fairy world in the sky, and the other is from the mortal world on the ground, both are right!"

Listening to Mu Zhen's explanation, the little girl immediately became a little confused. She couldn't figure out what the fairyland and the mortal world were for a while, so she asked with her shofar braids crooked, "Is the fairy world better or the mortal world?"

Mu Zhen found the little girl's question very interesting, so she responded: "The fairy world is for fairies like Chang'e. The Moon Palace is also called the Guanghan Palace. There are only Chang'e and Jade Rabbit in the palace, but there are no other people in the mortal world. We ordinary beings, just like us ordinary people, are collectively referred to as ordinary people, we can chat with each other without talking, and there are many interesting and interesting things, do you think it is better in the fairy world or the mortal world?"

The little girl thought for a while: "I like the mortal world, Chang'e in the fairy world is so lonely, no one talks to her, even if she has the jade rabbit to accompany her, she won't talk to him!"

Mu Zhen laughed, and Xiaoya looked at Mu Zhen, thinking that she had said something wrong, and then asked, "Am I not right?"

"Yes, you are right. Life in the mortal world is rich and colorful. We are all ordinary people. Only in the mortal world can we enjoy the fun of this life, and we will celebrate festivals together. Chang'e sees us in the mortal world. Being happy will make you feel more lonely and desolate!" When Mu Zhen said this, thinking of her father's extraordinary actions during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, her heart sank suddenly, and she stopped.

"I understand what you said!" Xiaoya happily responded while holding Mu Zhen's hand.

Seeing Xiao Ya's joy, Mu Zhen also jumped up with him.

"The meal is ready, let's serve!" Hu Guoqing, who was helping to cook in the kitchen, shouted at Mu Zhen and Xiaoya.

"Let's wash our hands and get ready to eat! Let's enjoy the fun of this mortal world together!" The little girl said as she took Mu Zhen's hand to wash her hands in front of the washbasin.

Mu Zhen was amused by the little girl's words, she didn't expect that the little girl learned it so fast, and she used what she just said.

As the food was served, the four of them were immediately immersed in the festive atmosphere...
