Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 180
During the few days when Hu Guoqing sent the letter, he was always uneasy, looking forward to his mother's reply to confirm that his guess was correct.However, there was no reply from his mother on the left, and there was no news from his mother on the right. When he was extremely anxious, the living expenses sent by Hu Guoqing's mother seemed to arrive as scheduled. Hu Guoqing looked at the remittance slip and felt a little calmer.The exam is approaching, and as the learning tasks continue to increase, I gradually become indifferent to the matter of going to the Northeast.

The day for the literary social manuscripts came. Mu Zhen collected the manuscripts and handed them over to Teacher Chen. Teacher Chen read them very carefully. From every line, you can read the changes brought about by the reform and opening up in the eyes of a middle school student. .

Xu Jin's "Food Basket at Home" starts from the dishes on the table at home, and writes about the single dishes in the past, and the diversification of dishes on the table today. This change is precisely the reform and opening up that quietly changed people's diet Culture, which leads to the fact that people no longer plant vegetables according to the plan as before, but crop and cultivate them according to market needs. The quiet change of planting concepts has enriched the lives of residents and bolstered the pockets of farmers.

Gao Changqing, this young man who is quite accomplished in literature, his father is a Chinese teacher in high school, he has read a lot of books since he was a child, and with a memory that is beyond ordinary people, his mind is full of all kinds of ancient poems, and he quotes classics and classics in his writing. Come on, the writing is like a mountain and flowing water, flowing for thousands of miles, eloquent, no less than a thousand words.His "Wind in the Field", citing scriptures throughout, clarifies what kind of wind should blow in which season, which is suitable for the growth of crops in the field, and finally a good harvest can be obtained. , Cleanse people's souls, guide people to start from the little things around them, and gradually embark on a new journey.

As the only girl in the literature club, Sui Zhimin, with a unique perspective and delicate writing style, started from small changes and adopted the form of modern poetry to write "Old Man Smoking Dry Smoke", through the story of an old farmer squatting in the field Psychological depiction, singing a hymn of reform and opening up to win the hearts of the people.Due to the limited number of words, the transcription is as follows:

walk through the fields in the morning

will see a figure

The figure is hunched over

squatting in the field
He is the old man of Wangcun
In fact, Lao Han is not stupid

just silent
The old society did not learn culture
The new society made him smile
The day when the production contract arrives at the household

Old Han squatting in front of his field of responsibility

Silently smoking the old dry tobacco that accompanied him for half his life

I have countless wishes in my heart
Put on new clothes every year
Live in a new brick house for two years

Three years showing a new look

Five years on the honor roll

In the blink of an eye five years have passed

Lao Han has already changed his clothes

New clothes, new house, new glory

Wearing Hibiscus on Festivals

Become a good example of farming

Old Han Tiantou smoking a cigarette

keep talking
Bring back a big color TV in the coming year...

Teacher Chen was attracted by the rich imagination of the students. He really did not expect that the spring breeze of reform and opening up was bathing the hearts of these young people. They grew up in learning, and opened their minds to embrace tomorrow in the process of reform and opening up. A generation of teenagers is changing their life trajectory, facing the spring breeze of reform, enjoying the rain and dew of openness, forging ahead, and finally embarking on a glorious road of life.

According to Mr. Chen's plan, these compositions were revised by Mr. Chen, and then Mu Zhen distributed them to everyone to copy them again carefully, and then posted them on the bulletin board in front of the classroom. Unexpectedly, after these manuscripts were posted, they caused a lot of trouble. The attention of the teachers and students of the whole school has set off a big discussion on the reform and opening up in the whole school, and many classes have also drawn up similar composition questions.

As Liang Qichao said: The wisdom of the youth makes the country wise, and the strength of the youth makes the country strong.Through the lines of those outstanding students, we can feel that young people of this generation are singing a symphony of working hard for the country and reading for the people.

Just as the teachers and students of the school were immersed in this passionate joy, the school ushered in the final exam.

For students with excellent learning, the exam is just a test of stage learning, which is almost the law of exams in schools.Naturally, Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing were not so nervous, and it was even equivalent to doing homework for a long time.

As soon as the exam was over, Hu Guoqing dragged Mu Zhen out of the school gate.

"Where are you taking me?" Mu Zhen was a little puzzled by Hu Guoqing's actions, and asked while running.

"You'll know as soon as you get there!" Hu Guoqing replied, but he didn't stop, but still grabbed Mu Zhen's hand and ran forward.

Mu Zhen didn't ask any more questions, but just ran forward with him, looking at the river embankment to the west of the school, Mu Zhen seemed to understand that Hu Guoqing pulled herself to relax on the river embankment.

When the two of them reached the embankment, Hu Guoqing stopped and said out of breath: "We met here, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. In the past six months, I have learned a lot of things that I have never learned before, especially from you. Your help has benefited me for the rest of my life. I am here today, and I solemnly tell you one thing. I plan to go to the Northeast in two days to see my mother. During this period, take care of yourself. When I come back, we will still be together side by side fighting!"

When Mu Zhen heard that Hu Guoqing was going to leave, he was a little dazed immediately, and then asked, "Didn't you say no? Why do you want to go to the Northeast at this time?"

"Actually, I don't want to go, but I received a letter from my mother a few days ago, saying that my uncle told me to go there, saying that he had something important to discuss with me face to face. I don't know what it is, but this time I can only promise that it’s just right for me to take advantage of the holiday after the exam.” Hu Guoqing said with a smile, and then said: “Don’t worry, there will be nothing wrong, it’s probably because they miss me, otherwise they won’t Will take this time to let me go."

Mu Zhen was a little dazed, Hu Guoqing's expression suddenly made Mu Zhen feel that he had grown up suddenly, so that in her eyes, Hu Guoqing had changed so much that she could not have imagined it half a year ago anyway.

"Then when are you going to leave?" Mu Zhen knew that although the two were very close, they would break up sooner or later, not to mention that it was only a short breakup, which was also reasonable. Like?

"Let's finish announcing the results!" Hu Guoqing's words were full of affirmation.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey!" Mu Zhen said a word of blessing.

"Leave that aside, do you know why I dragged you here?" Hu Guoqing stared at Mu Zhen and asked.

"Isn't this the place we often come to?" Mu Zhen felt that Hu Guoqing's expression in front of her was a bit ridiculous.

"Of course I come here often, but this time it's different!" Hu Guoqing said.

"What's the difference?" Mu Zhen couldn't figure out what was the difference between coming to the embankment today and coming to the embankment in the past.

"Look, what I brought!" Mu Zhen noticed that the army green schoolbag that Hu Guoqing was carrying with him was nothing special. This schoolbag was the schoolbag that Hu Guoqing carried with him these days.

I saw Hu Guoqing took out two big apples and three sticks of incense from his schoolbag.

"What are you talking about?" Mu Zhen was not surprised when she saw the apple, but what was he doing with the incense?
"Let's go!" Hu Guoqing didn't explain, pulled Mu Zhen and ran directly to the second beach of the small river.

Standing in the dry grass on the second beach of the river embankment, Hu Guoqing looked at Mu Zhen's puzzled eyes and said, "Do you still remember this place? It was the place where we first met. I miss this place, so I will bring you here today. Just one thought, I want to make sworn brothers with you!"

Mu Zhen froze there, eyes wide open, watching Hu Guoqing, who was squatting on the ground, take out a match, struck it with a sound of "嗞", lit a handful of hay in front of him, and then held three sticks of incense together with both hands. He ignited on the flame of dry grass, then blew out the open flame on the incense head, stood up and stamped out the burning dry grass with his feet, arranged the apples in the grass nest, put the lit incense next to the apples, and pulled Mu Zhen took two steps back, and knelt down facing the apples and burning incense. Hu Guoqing said to Mu Zhen: "We two, you are one year older than me, you are the elder brother, and I am the younger brother. From today onwards, heaven and earth It can be learned that the sun and the moon are bright, and we will become brothers, sharing blessings and sufferings together!"

Seeing his seriousness, Mu Zhen also said, "Share the blessings, share the troubles!"

After finishing speaking, the two kowtowed three times to the burning incense.

The two people who stood up did not leave immediately, but looked at the crystal clear river in front of them, stood silently for a while, Hu Guoqing said to Mu Zhen: "You are my brother now, you don't have to be so polite in the future! "

When Mu Zhen heard what Hu Guoqing said, she smiled knowingly...
