Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 154
The Mid-Autumn Festival that Mu Zhen spent at Hu Guoqing’s house was thought to be the most satisfying Mid-Autumn Festival, but what Hu Guoqing’s mother said turned this Mid-Autumn Festival into a more special Mid-Autumn Festival. Hu Guoqing went back to the room sullenly. Seeing his sad look, Mu Zhen didn't try to persuade him anymore. Mu Zhen knew that the persuasion at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire, and she might cry even more sadly.

The two looked at each other for a while, and fell asleep with the light on without speaking to each other.

The [-]th day of the first lunar month was the day when Liu Cun had a happy meeting. Lao Mu and Mu Bao went to school as usual, and Mu Yan was in charge of making lunch for the two of them at home. In fact, it is a basket of eggs plus a few feet of floral cloth.

Liu Cun's wedding noodles are not luxurious, and the ten large bowls of various dishes on the table are also very delicious. Xiuhua is not interested in these dishes, but what she cares about most makes her feel cold. I searched several times, but I still didn't see Da'an's figure, and I was very anxious.

So Xiuhua took the opportunity of seeing the child and specially prepared a gift of 20 yuan for the newborn. After handing over the money, she gently leaned into Huiqin's ear and asked quietly, "Didn't Da'an come back?"

Huiqin looked aggrieved and said: "Don't mention it. When the child was born, he was on duty and didn't come back. It's fine. But a few days later, when I called him, the person who answered the phone in the office said that he left because of work. , now he is really working hard for his work, and he can't even see one of them on holidays!"

Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, and complained a bit: "Look at this man, why his wife's childbirth is more important than his work!"

"No, when he came back last time, he told me privately that there are too many things to do in the unit now, and there are few manpower. In addition, he is a party member and always rushes forward. He dare not slack off in the slightest. Who told us to marry a policeman! " Huiqin has no wishes or regrets about her choice, and when she said these words, she showed a little coquettishness towards her cousin.

"I can't blame me for this!" Xiuhua said in a deliberately mysterious way.

"It's a good thing for me, I don't blame you, it's too late to be grateful!" Huiqin's words made the two of them laugh.

As soon as the voice of "Let grandma see my granddaughter" fell, the curtain was lifted, and Huiqin's mother walked in, followed by Huiqin's wife, and some close people from her mother's family. Xiuhua immediately called out "Auntie!" ", and then consciously hid aside, listening to their chatter.

Xiuhua stood for a while, seeing that she couldn't get her mouth in, she moved a few steps against the wall, lifted the curtain and squeezed out of the room, walked out, stood in the courtyard to see that it was getting late, thinking that since she couldn't see Daan today , things can’t be said, so it’s better to say goodbye and go home to prepare for autumn busy.Thinking of this, she looked left and right, there was no one else in the courtyard, except for the nagging in Huiqin's room, and the voice of old Mugu in the kitchen.

Xiuhua went straight into the kitchen, and saw that the person standing and talking to Old Mu Gu didn't know her. She probably was a relative of Old Mu Gu or someone who helped Liu Village. Seeing Xiu Hua coming in, Old Mu Gu stopped talking immediately, Greeting Xiuhua: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, is the meal ready?"

"You've eaten well, old lady, is there anything else I can help you with?" Xiuhua asked politely.

"There's nothing else to do. We have a few helpers in our village, so we don't need to be busy with our relatives!" Old Mu Gu smiled.

"That's nothing, I'll go back first!" Xiuhua responded smoothly.

"Yeah!" Old Mu Gu agreed, and picked up the red eggs on the table beside her and said to Xiuhua, "You have a lot of people in your family, so take a few more red eggs back for the children to eat!"

Xiuhua understands that the old girl has always taken good care of her natal family. This is something she has seen and understood in her heart since the day she married Lao Mu.

After returning home, Xiuhua felt a little tight in her chest because she didn't finish what Lao Mu repeatedly told her. After sitting for a while, she wanted to lie down on the bed and rest for a while, but when her head hit the pillow, her eyes closed together and she fell asleep .Xiuhua slept deeply, during which she didn't even have any dreams, and she didn't feel anything. This feeling was like rebirth, which she had never had in her life.

When Lao Mu came home after school, he saw Xiuhua who was still sleeping and touched her forehead directly. She didn't have any symptoms of fever. Lao Mu thought that maybe she was really sleepy. She got up and was busy catching fish, and then leaned on her legs and hurried to the town to sell. After returning, she never stopped. She was either busy with the work in the field or with the things at home. She really deserved a rest up.Seeing Xiuhua's snoring, Lao Mu pulled up another thin quilt on the bed and put it on top of Xiuhua's quilt. This cover woke up the snoring Xiuhua.

"How long have I been asleep?" Xiuhua who woke up rubbed her eyes and stared at Lao Mu and asked.

"I don't know how long you slept, but you slept soundly. Are you too tired?" Old Mu asked with concern.

"I came back from our old aunt's house and felt a little tired. I just wanted to lie down for a while, but I didn't expect that it would be mid-afternoon!" Xiuhua complained to herself.

"During this time, you have really worked too hard. If you hadn't worked so blatantly, we wouldn't know where to get our pocket money!" Old Mu said, went outside and handed a wet towel to Xiuhua. : "Wipe off your face, get ready for dinner!"

"I didn't ask about the things you repeatedly told me today. I feel like I didn't do anything today. My heart is empty!" Xiuhua said helplessly.

"This matter won't be resolved in a short time. If you don't say it, you don't say it, and you don't have any regrets!" Lao Mu said lightly.

"It's not that I didn't think about it, and it's not that I didn't want to say it. You said that Da'an is really true. The family's Tianzi didn't come back. This relative went to the house to deliver rice and still didn't come home. Didn't it make Huiqin's heart cold? I would rather demolish a temple than demolish a marriage. I never thought that now I don’t even want my wife and children because of work? How do you think Huiqin’s family will comment on this?” Xiuhua explained what happened today. All his brains were poured over to Lao Mu.

Lao Mu didn't speak immediately, but just stood there silently, thinking: "This old cousin must have troubles with his old cousin. The marriage has caused him ups and downs. Now that he is working, things may be more complicated than marriage. Besides, he has taken over the job of the country. , you should submit to the management of the unit, and only you know this difficulty.” Thinking of this, Lao Mu enlightened Xiuhua and said, “Da’an has its own difficulties, just like me, it’s so close to home, but for work, don’t you? Let me think about school matters first, and then consider family matters? What's more, Da'an has an iron job, and I have to obey the organization and the arrangement of the unit. There is nothing wrong with it? You are angry, but it is not Hui Qin, isn’t your main crux of what we said yesterday? You didn’t ask this time, it doesn’t matter, we have a lot of opportunities, and I said a saying that people often say: “Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil, isn’t it?” If you don’t report it, it won’t be time’? Even if you say it, can he help us solve it? This still needs to go through legal procedures, you can’t blame Da’an, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for getting angry, right?”

These words, every word is reasonable, so that Xiuhua's heart is as clear as the clouds see the sun, every family has a hard-to-recite scripture, everyone has a hard-to-sing song, this little thing we encountered, for Da'an Maybe it’s not a big deal, but the difficult things that Da’an encountered, maybe no one in his family can help him, he endured even greater difficulties, and the burden he borne was even heavier. Thinking of this, she responded to Lao Mu: “You’re right. Yes, I really only think about things from my own point of view, not from other people's point of view, and once you say that, I don't think we have anything to say here!" After finishing speaking, I immediately got out of bed, walked quickly to the kitchen, Cleaning up the pots and stoves, busy making dinner for the whole family.
