Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 291

Casual people will always feel that the time passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, it is the day of the sixth day of junior high school, and the junior high school graduating class is back to school. Mu Zhen woke up early in the morning. This Spring Festival is no different from previous years. Not only has the family's serious troubles been solved, but Mu Zhen has gained a lot, that is, she got to know Lao Zhao again.

When Mu Zhen passed the feed factory, there seemed to be no one in it. Even so, she couldn't help but slow down. This small courtyard is the pride of Xiaowangzhuang villagers. Even when she mentioned the feed factory in the village , the mood is so excited.

Mu Zhen turned her head to look at the locked gate, not only a little curious in her heart: "Why is there no one? At least there must be a gatekeeper at night!"

Mu Zhen approached the gate, took a step forward, and glanced in through the gap between the iron gates. A figure flashed in front of her eyes. Mu Zhen was startled, and quickly left the gate to stand still. There was a "crash" sound, followed by a "squeak", the door opened, and a human head protruded from the door.

Mu Zhen recognized him, and immediately greeted him: "Grandpa, are you here to guard the door?" It was Mu Xiangshu's close brother Mu Xiangmin who Mu Zhen called "Grandpa".

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Mu Xiangmin was surprised by Mu Zhen's arrival.

"I'm here to find Uncle Zhao!" Mu Zhen responded.

"He, he didn't come yesterday. He said he was going to my daughter's house for something, and I don't know if he will come back today!" Mu Xiangmin said as he opened the door wider.

"Then I won't go!" Mu Zhen said as she turned around and was about to go back.

"It's so cold outside, hurry up and sit in my room, we'll chat for a while before leaving." Mu Xiangmin gave way to Mu Zhen enthusiastically.

Mu Zhen hesitated for a while, Mu Xiangmin saw this, and asked again: "What do you want to do with him? Do you want me to send him a message?"

"No, no!" Mu Zhen replied blankly.

"Then come in and leave after warming up!" Mu Xiangmin said while letting Mu Zhen into the courtyard.

Seeing Mu Xiangmin's sincerity, Mu Zhen was embarrassed to leave immediately, so she followed Mu Xiangmin into the yard of the feed factory, and then entered the reception room at the gate.

There is a briquette stove in the reception room, and the temperature difference between the inside and the outside is a bit large, and Mu Zhen immediately felt a little warmth. Mu Zhen glanced at the hut, a single wooden bed, the bedding on the bed was placed in a roll at the head of the bed, near the door There is a table under the next window, and on the table is a thermos bottle and a teapot made of rough china with steam bubbling from its spout.There are two layers of windows, and a window is opened on the upper layer, which is obviously a vent for fear of gas poisoning.

"You, Uncle Zhao, are a capable person!" Mu Xiangmin, who sat down, motioned for Mu Zhen to sit on the edge of the bed and said.

"How can you do it?" Mu Zhen asked knowingly.

"I don't know. He is in his sixties, but now he has a strong interest in literacy, and he is still out of control. I will go to him when I have time. Except for the necessary things such as feeding pigs, I just see him. He writes and draws there! And on the wall, underground, and in the corner, there may be his notes hidden, you think he is so old, where can he learn?" Mu Xiangmin said.

"Happy old age!" Mu Zhen replied.

"Even if you are happy in old age, you won't change from an illiterate person to a literate person. I read books for a few years when I was a child. Over the years, I also know a few characters on the side of the road, but I don't know how to read. He is so stubborn to learn, this old Zhao is really weird, sometimes he would ask me with a book, where do I know those strange characters, don’t you think so?” The more Mu Xiangmin talked, the more energetic he was, and Mu Zhen became more and more interested in old Zhao when he heard it. Admire it.

"Don't tell me, Uncle Zhao doesn't just know a few words, he also wants to write his autobiography!" Mu Zhen said to Mu Xiangmin with a smile.

"If he really has the ability to write his autobiography, the sun won't come out to the west!" Mu Xiangmin said with a look of indifference.

From Mu Xiangmin's tone, Mu Zhen felt that it was inappropriate to mention Lao Zhao to someone who had such thoughts, so she stopped talking, stood up and said goodbye: "I'm going home for dinner, and I have to go after dinner." What about school!"

"You see, my father and I seldom chat. We only chatted for a few words, but you are leaving!" Mu Xiangmin said reluctantly.

"We have a chance, but we really want to go to school today, otherwise we can chat with you for a while!" After Mu Zhen finished speaking, she walked out the door, turned around and waved to Mu Xiangmin and said, "I'm leaving, grandpa!"

Mu Xiangmin looked at Mu Zhen's back, shook his head and sighed, "This world will really change!"
