Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 27
Just when the whole village was discussing that Wang Tiancheng's pigsty was built like a small house for people to live in, Mu Zhen was about to end her free life during the summer vacation.The freedom of this holiday is not due to his satisfactory score in the math test, nor is it due to the fact that his math score has achieved No. The score is perfect, but it has made Lao Mu very satisfied. It is this kind of satisfaction that does not impose constraints on Mu Zhen's daily learning activities. In Lao Mu's eyes, Mu Zhen already knows how to learn and is also a big child who likes to learn.In fact, Mu Zhen, who was free for a short time, never idled for a moment, and reading still became the greatest pleasure of the holiday.

As the term begins, Lao Mu has new ideas about Mu Zhen's life in the new semester. In private, Lao Mu thinks that Mu Zhen spends too much time commuting to and from school. Each one-way trip takes 10 minutes, and every day is divided into morning, middle and evening. There are six round trips in total, which takes a total of two hours. Let these two hours be wasted on the way to school, and the study time is correspondingly reduced. Learning is very bad.So he decided that when the new semester came, let Mu Zhen eat and live in the school, so as to reduce the time spent on the road.

There are still two days before the start of school, and Lao Mu officially shows off to Mu Zhen: "In the new school year, you have added a physics class, and your studies are relatively stressful. Don't go to school anymore. You can eat and live at school, so you can save time for study. Tomorrow, prepare the equipment for the dormitory."

For Mu Zhen, boarding and lodging at school is no longer new, and she especially reminisces about the days of living on campus in Gucheng No. [-] Middle School, but she is very disgusted with the idea of ​​living on campus proposed by Lao Mu this time.There are two reasons for this: First, although commuting back and forth consumes time, it is equivalent to exercising. Since I transferred to Binhu Middle School, I have seen only a handful of doctors, which is due to my exercise on the way to school; The time is not a waste of study time as Lao Mu imagined, but to make full use of this time to recall some knowledge points in class, which is equivalent to the rumination of an old cow in the process of eating. Chewing it again is equivalent to digesting Knowledge.Even though day reading has two advantages for Mu Zhen, what Old Mu said in this family is an "imperial decree" and cannot be disobeyed. Mu Zhen understands that the result of discernment may bring something, and maybe what it will be like." Unknown Fire" awaits every family member?
Mu Zhen nodded to Old Mu: "Then I'll go to school tomorrow to see if I can build a bunk with my classmates, so I don't have to bring a bed with me!"

After hearing Mu Zhen's answer, Lao Mu didn't notice Mu Zhen's psychological changes. He still used his paternal style to face the children who had grown up in front of him and had their own ideas.

Mu Zhen's new school year at Binhu Middle School begins.Mu Zhen lives with Liu Zhaoqiang, a classmate who played better last year.When I first came to the dormitory, it seemed a little cleaner. As the villagers often say, "Madeng Road at noon in February and August". , indicating how fast the wet road dries.The sewage stains from washing dishes and chopsticks in the dormitory will dry quickly, coupled with the doors and windows that are often not closed, the ventilation is good, and the peculiar smell in the dormitory is not very obvious. Mu Zhen feels that she is quite happy living here.

However, the good times didn't last long, and the long and cold winter came.According to common sense, winter should be a dry season, but for the dormitory of Binhu Middle School, it is indeed rare to see a dry time. To keep warm, the windows of the room are sealed with white plastic sheets to make them airtight. The sewage left by the dishes and chopsticks is no longer as dry as in autumn, and the accumulation has made the dormitory extremely humid. Even in the severe winter, when returning to the dormitory every day, the first thing is a musty smell.

In such an environment, it would be strange not to get sick. Facing such an environment, Mu Zhen obviously has added a lot of discomfort, and his colds are significantly more than last year. The doctor surnamed Lu in the courtyard, when he saw him coming, always asked first, "What's wrong?" what way?The diseases that plagued him followed him like a follower, but even so, he still had to bite the bullet and see Dr. Lu when he had a cold.In this health center, there are only two doctors who are actually attending consultations. One is this doctor Lu, named Lu Xibo. Some "skilled person" in Binhu Middle School gave him the nickname "Light Metal". The other is Gao Lei, the dean. Because he is busy with other affairs, he is the "light metal" general practitioner who sees the most patients. It is often said that he is an ancestral Chinese medicine doctor. He is well-known for gynecology, and he became a general practitioner in this commune health center.However, Mu Zhen always believed that the medical level of "light metal" was also very average. The reason was that she had allergic rhinitis after the last cold, with thick yellow nasal discharge and headache. Tetracycline tablets can solve it soon, but Light Metal prescribed some heavy-feeling tablets, which caused me to take it for four days, but the symptoms did not improve at all, so I had to find him again, and directly prescribed these three medicines, Two days later, the symptoms were obviously relieved, and three days later, the symptoms were basically recovered.

Mu Zhen knew that since she couldn't change Lao Mu's mind, she could only endure it silently, even though the environment sometimes suffocated him when he was resting every day, even though his heart felt as if he was lying on the bed and getting into the wet and cold blanket. It was uncomfortable as if something was blocked, and he had to adapt to this suffering with difficulty.He thought of the happy days when he lived in Gucheng No. [-] Middle School more than once, but those days had already become history in his memory, and he had to face this environment again. Compared with other students, he can't complain about these things. What he should face is the current environment, and he must adapt as soon as possible!

In the following days, it was harassed by swarms of lice.Restricted by conditions, there was only one bath in the whole commune at that time. When bathing in winter was still a luxury for rural people, many people were still used to wearing close-fitting clothes without clothes. In winter, it is accompanied by parasites on the human body - lice.The situation in this kind of dormitory is even worse. In this environment, lice are like ducks in water, smearing on everyone's clothes and pants. At that time, catching lice by candlelight was also a common "scenery" in the dormitory.

These are not the most unbearable, more painful days are coming.
