Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 300 Questioning Fate
"Let's not talk about it, let's talk about something happy." Hu Guoqing suggested.

"What is there to be happy about? I really can't remember it if you don't mention it. Do you still remember Mr. Zhao from the pig farm?" Mu Zhen quickly went through the things that happened during the holiday, Finally, he stopped on Uncle Zhao.

"Of course I remember that Uncle Zhao who started learning to read in his 60s?" Hu Guoqing still vividly remembers the Uncle Zhao he met before the Spring Festival.

"Yes, that's him. He's not just learning how to read characters. He said he wants to write a book and write down his life. Do you think this is a happy thing?"

"Of course, it's not easy for a person in his 60s to learn to read and write. What's more, it's a miracle that he still has the desire to write a book. What kind of power do you think makes him so interested in knowledge? How about it?" Hu Guoqing couldn't figure out the psychology of this old man, knowledge is difficult for beginners to learn without putting in a lot of effort, let alone this old man who is over sixty years old?
"Last year, he told me that his family's conditions were not good enough, so he had no chance to study. He was running around begging for food, alone, and a person who had eaten his last meal and never had a next meal. Where would he have the opportunity to study? Later, he got married and started a career. There are many educated people among them, and he once expressed his idea of ​​learning to read characters, but others made fun of him, so he put it aside again, fortunately he met me, otherwise he will inevitably leave regrets in his life!" Mu Zhen said emphatically.

"I didn't expect you to help so many people. If I hadn't met you back then, I might not have ignited the fire to go back to school, let alone we would become good friends!" Hu Guoqing boasted.

"Seeing what you said, I'm even embarrassed. The master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual. These words are vividly reflected in Uncle Zhao. You see, after I taught him to recognize some words, the rest of the time is all up to him. It is not too much to describe his learning spirit as sleepless nights, food and sleep, and tirelessness. At that time, he only thought that he could simply know a few words. "Anthology of ***" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and now I have the idea of ​​writing." Mu Zhen admired Uncle Zhao from the bottom of her heart, so she couldn't help but praise him for his actions.

"If he is a generation of emperors, it's nothing. After all, he is surrounded by teachers and has the conditions. But now he is just a pig official. Dealing with those stupid pigs every day is nothing but dealing with these pigs." It’s a miracle that you can persist!” Hu Guoqing couldn’t help feeling admiration in his heart when he heard Mu Zhen’s words of praise.

"Do you think this is a happy thing?" Mu Zhen continued to ask, not forgetting the topic mentioned just now.

"Forget it, of course it does. Although learning to read has been known for a long time, and now he wants to write an autobiography, we should be happy for his hard work, and it is also something to be happy about!" Hu Guoqing said affirmatively.

"I'm done talking, it's your turn. What are the happy things about your holiday?" Mu Zhen asked immediately.

"When I went back to the Northeast this time, it was a happy thing to see my relatives, but this is too common, and it is what ordinary people should have. Let's not talk about it. What I want to talk about is what happened this morning. It is really a bit of a happy thing to say. Fate!" When Hu Guoqing said this, he seemed to be stuck and stopped there, staring blankly at Mu Zhen.

"Hey, what made you so happy that you can't remember?" Mu Zhen said, reaching out to his eyes and waving, and then said: "You are not fascinated by something, are you?"

"You are fascinated!" Hu Guoqing smiled in an instant.

"Then why are you so dazed?" Mu Zhen continued to ask.

"I'm not dazed, I suddenly feel that this can be called a happy thing?" Hu Guoqing expressed his doubts before he could say anything.

"You denied it yourself before you said it, let us analyze it together!" Mu Zhen said a little impatiently.

"I met a god-sister at the train station this morning, do you think it is something to be happy about?" Hu Guoqing asked.

"Why do you want to be a sister, and why are you still wet? Why can't all the women who are older than you you meet on the way be called sister? And you pretended to be affectionate and came back with a god-sister?" Mu Zhen suddenly thought of the scholar's journey in Liaozhai. I met the story of ghosts and immortals, so I told my own opinions.

"I hear there's something in your words!" Hu Guoqing heard that Mu Zhen's words didn't look like a joke, so he asked casually.

"Think about those fox fairies written by Mr. Pu. Didn't some scholars rushing to take the exam be deceived? That is the epitome of the times. Wouldn't this happen to us? So for such a good thing, we must Don't believe me, otherwise, if you don't tell me, you will hurt your family!" Mu Zhen said a little alarmistly.

"What you said is creepy, it doesn't count, then I have nothing to say! It's getting late, let's go to bed! We have class tomorrow!" Hu Guoqing felt that Mu Zhen's words were outrageous, so he didn't want to say any more Going down, so I mentioned the matter of sleeping with an excuse.

Mu Zhen then yawned, and responded like a donkey down the slope: "Sleep!"

The two quickly undressed and got into the bed. With the lights in the house turned off, only the faint moonlight shining through the window in front of the bed, Tranquility stepped onto the stage and became the protagonist of the winter night.
