Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 268
When Lao Mu returned home, he saw the thick water mist coming out of the kitchen door, and immediately guessed that another pot of steamed buns was out of the pot, so he put the shovel in the corner, and approached the kitchen door. Lao Mu had no choice but to swallow his saliva, and asked Xiuhua in the kitchen, "Is Da'an here?"

Xiuhua, who was busy in the kitchen, said casually, "Why did he come to our house at this time?"

Old Mu knew that he had slipped his tongue, and immediately added: "That's right, you see what I think, he is at home for the holidays, why would he come to our house?"

After Lao Mu finished speaking, he was still uneasy, so he went out of the gate alone, stood on the main road and looked at the intersection into the village. At this moment, he wished so much that a familiar figure could enter his eyes. It has been two hours since I broke up with Da'an. Even if I don't come, there should be some clues. Should I go to Da'an's place again to find out the truth?Lao Mu asked himself in his heart.

"Man, you stand here and watch from time to time, what seems to be on your mind?" Lao Mu was interrupted by the sudden question, turned his head sharply, and saw Wang Sanyuan standing two meters behind him asking himself something .

"So it's third uncle, what's on his mind, we can't help with family matters, so just stand here for a while!" Old Mu deliberately concealed his anxiety.Then he hurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it up. Naturally, Wang Sanyuan took the cigarette handed over by Lao Mu without hesitation and lit it.

"You can't tell when you are the third uncle. You have been standing here for about ten minutes. I just sat in the room drinking water and looked at you. I guess you must have something on your mind, otherwise you won't turn your eyes to the big intersection from time to time?" Wang Sanyuan said slowly Said.

"I was thinking about the big festival. How could there be no one on the road?" Lao Mu deliberately changed the subject.

"Hey! Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and every household is preparing to steam steamed buns and oil, so there is no time to go out! But I have something to ask you?" Wang Sanyuan said a little mysteriously.

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Lao Mu suddenly felt that he had been a neighbor for so long. At this time, Wang Sanyuan in front of him became a little strange because of the veiled question.

"Yesterday, I saw two strangers came to your house. I heard they were from the Public Security Bureau? It is also rumored that our family's Mu Zhen has become a little hero. What's going on?"

Old Mu could tell that there was something in Wang Sanyuan's words, so he responded: "Indeed, I was not at home all day yesterday, and I only heard about it when I came back at night. The Public Security Bureau came to check the situation. He helped a woman with a child at the station in the morning. I couldn’t find the woman’s wallet at the time, and it happened that Mu Zhen met her, and she paid ten yuan to buy her a train ticket. Unexpectedly, this incident alerted the police station and caused a storm in the city!” Old Mu did not say the actual situation. Due to the situation, he changed the story of the matter with embellishments.

Lao Mu knew that this matter itself was very complicated. If it was told according to the facts, it would cause misunderstandings among the neighbors, and some unexpected right and wrong would happen if it was not done well.Lao Mu knew very well in his heart the truth that "people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong". It's not surprising, so when it comes to what happened to Mu Zhen yesterday, the simpler the better, so as to save unnecessary worries.How old Mu hoped that this matter would die down and not affect Mu Zhen in any way.

"Look, let me tell you! Our Mu Zhen is definitely not an ordinary child. She has done good deeds and almost made people discredit her!" Wang Sanyuan said as if he had an epiphany.

Lao Mu's heart tightened, and he felt that Wang Sanyuan's question just now was not surprising at all. Looking at it now, how many versions of the rumors in the village will be deduced?So he continued to say to Wang Sanyuan: "What is it? If it is passed around, it will be messed up. Let alone your own children, can you still not believe it?"

"That's right, not to mention that our Mu Zhen will definitely have great prospects in the future!" Wang Sanyuan praised.

After hearing this, Lao Mu felt very relieved. He glanced casually at the main road, and saw a cyclist coming. Lao Mu was taken aback. Isn't that Da An?
