Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 68 The Fall

According to the calculations, it has been at least two years, and Lao Mu has not asked about Mu Zhen's studies. It's not that Lao Mu doesn't want to pay attention to it. Jane made full use of her free time and read more extracurricular books borrowed from Ma Sanye.

On the fifth day after the exam, it was another scorching hot day. Mu Zhen stayed at home with Mu Bao as usual. The student, under the guidance of Lao Mu, has already known hundreds of Chinese characters. Mu Bao is no longer the kid who used to play with piles of blocks and ride a bench as a horse. word.Sitting on the side, Mu Zhen has long been attracted by the wonderful plots in the book. The fascinating storyline and the fascinating mountain scenery have made Mu Zhen feel like she was there.After reading the fascinating part, Mu Zhen felt that she was a character in the book, and she was eager to try to travel to that ancient battlefield called killing.

Just as the two brothers were busy, Lao Mu, who was going to the township education committee meeting, was standing in the courtyard at some point.I saw him standing with his hands on his hips, standing in the scorching sun, looking up at the sky from time to time, as if he was in some trouble again, and he sighed there. Seeing this scene, the two brothers were so surprised that you looked at me and I looked at you, and there was nothing at all. Lost the focus and obsession just now.

After standing with his hips on his hips for a few minutes, Lao Mu took out a cigarette from his pocket, struck a match, lit the cigarette, then threw the match on the ground, and stepped on it with his feet, fearing that the match would There were still embers left, the two brothers gave each other a wink, without saying a word, the old Mu went straight into the room, staring at Mu Zhen who was reading a book for a full minute, Mu Zhen put down the book in her hand, and looked at her father, Old Mu's face was sullen, his lips moved a few times, he didn't say a word, and then his face turned blue: "Look at the grades, do you still have the mind to read the extracurricular books?"

Old Mu was full of anger, his voice was not only a little trembling, but also full of frustration.

Mu Zhen immediately felt that a catastrophe was imminent again. The wound caused by Lu Shuang had just healed, and a new injury was about to start again.

Lao Mu threw over a report card, which clearly read: Chinese 83, Mathematics 75, English 81, Physics 98.Mu Zhen didn't pay attention to the next few subjects. Only the results of these few subjects were enough to make Lao Mu go crazy. His head slammed, and it immediately swelled like a bucket, pressing heavily on his neck.

Old Mu was a little furious: "With such grades, how can you still have the face to sit here?"

Mu Zhen didn't respond. He looked at the report card, and the grievance in his heart burst out immediately, and the tears couldn't help streaming down like beads strung together.These days, he has not told his family about what happened to him. It's not that he didn't tell, but he didn't dare to. If he wanted to, the storm might come earlier and more violently.

Mu Bao, who was on the side, looked at his father's angry look, and then turned to see his brother crying bitterly. Knowing that something was wrong, he stood up and ran out.

"Tell me, what are you doing this semester?" Old Mu asked Mu Zhen with a sullen face.

Mu Zhen sobbed, but did not answer.

The silence made Lao Mu even more emotional: "After the last midterm exam, I went to your school at night, and happened to meet you fighting with people outside the classroom window. This year, I don't need to ask, I know that you are What did the school do? With the current grades, what else can you do in the future? In order to let you study with peace of mind, we specially found a place to stay for you, but you are lucky, you treat your studies as a child's play, and your grades are worthy of the sleepover People?"

Lao Mu was silent for a few minutes, took two puffs of his cigarette, and continued the long speech he thought was correct.In a word, this result is enough to show that Mu Zhen didn't study hard in school. As for what she did, Lao Mu made a lot of embellishments, but in Mu Zhen's view, these reasons are all nonsense, far-fetched, continuous. How to mention the unfair treatment in the past month to Lao Mu?This month, not to mention reviewing, even the new knowledge learned is just passing by. I often have the mood of committing suicide, and who can I tell, the teacher doesn’t understand him, the classmates alienate him, that kind of environment is simply Suffering myself, being able to get this result is also based on the solid foundation of the previous study, otherwise it will be a problem to pass the exam.

Mu Zhen is still silent, he doesn't need to explain, no matter what old Mu said about this result, it is inevitable, he has seen this gloomy face countless times, this face is already commonplace for Mu Zhen, maybe after the incident, the old Mu will become more rational, and then make up for the psychological gap brought about by this achievement with his own practical actions.

Old Mu's complaints continued. Mu Bao who ran out came back, followed by his mother Xiuhua. As soon as she entered the gate, Xiuhua heard Lao Mu's mad roar. On the way, she heard Mu Bao say When Mu Zhen did not do well in the exam, if Lao Mu got angry at home, she felt that it happened too suddenly. She was not afraid that Lao Mu would criticize Mu Zhen because of her grades, but she was afraid that Lao Mu would hurt her nerves because of anger and make the family worse.

"Look, why are you so angry?" Xiuhua entered the room, persuaded Old Mu first, and then took a look at the report card that was placed in front of Mu Zhen.

"How much does this score rank among the students who took the test?" Xiuhua asked casually, deliberately trying to change the topic.

"With this result, how else can you rank?" Old Mu's tone was still full of anger.

"Then you can't be so arrogant. The child is no longer a child. You have to analyze the reason for such a test result. If the test is difficult and everyone does not do well in the test, then it is nothing! There is no need to post such a Huge anger!" Xiuhua's words were obviously trying to calm Lao Mu's anger, and he was worried that Lao Mu's anger would break his body and cause irreparable damage to the family.

After listening to Xiuhua's words, Lao Mu suddenly lost his temper. Lao Mu only looked at the child's grades and didn't think about it so much. He never found the reason from the test paper. He was a yardstick for judging Mu Zhen's pros and cons, but now that Xiuhua raised this question, she really hadn't thought about it in her mind.

Old Mu turned around and rode out without saying a word. Xiuhua hurriedly called out from behind: "It's almost noon, where are you going?"

Lao Mu didn't respond, the car had already left the gate and got on the main road at the head of the village.

The first time Lao Mu saw Mu Zhen's grades, he felt that he had plummeted, and he was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes. He was used to Mu Zhen's excellence in the past two years. In this way, how could he Accept this result?Just as Xiuhua said, with his identity as a teacher, he went to the school to check Mu Zhen's ranking, and at the same time to find out whether the test was the reason for the test paper.

Lao Mu rode like flying all the way, so he quickly arrived at Qingcheng Middle School, found Director Zhang, and explained that he wanted to see the report card of the third year of junior high school. Director Zhang naturally gave him face and took him there. office, and took out the report entry slip that had just been put in from the drawer, and handed it to Lao Mu.

The report card is ranked according to the total score. Lao Mu found Mu Zhen's name on the fifth line, and then Lao Mu looked at the results of the top four subjects. Compared with Mu Zhen's results, except No.1 Zhen came out a lot, and the grades of several other students in single subjects were not much higher than Mu Zhen's. But for Mu Zhen, he felt that Mu Zhen's grades were still abnormal. He believed that the reason for the abnormality was not the papers, but the Those days in Binhu Middle School.

Old Mu didn't forget to thank Director Zhang, and hurried to Binhu Middle School by bicycle. He was going to Binhu Middle School to find out whether Mu Zhen's study and life there during this semester was really what he imagined. Play, not work.

When I arrived at Binhu Middle School, it was already noon, and Lao Mu saw someone in the office looking up the test papers. Lao Mu knocked on the door and walked in. The teacher was still there without looking up, concentrating on searching.Old Mu leaned over: "Excuse me, is Director Liu here today?"

"Do you have anything to do with him?" The teacher was still flipping through the test papers without looking up.

"I want to know about Mu Zhen's study situation!" Old Mu directly stated what he wanted to do. He was too eager to know Mu Zhen's performance in school this semester.

The teacher who was flipping through the test paper suddenly raised his head, looked at Old Mu and asked, "Mu Zhen, do you want to know about Mu Zhen?"

"I'm Mu Zhen's English teacher. My surname is Gu. I'm looking up Mu Zhen's English grades?" the teacher introduced himself.

"He didn't take the exam here, and the papers can't be here!" Lao Mu said remindingly.

"How do you know?" Teacher Gu stared at Lao Mu with wide eyes, and looked at Lao Mu with a familiar face: "You are Mu Zhen's parent!"

"That's right, I'm Mu Zhen's father, and I'm here to study for Mu Zhen!" Old Mu introduced himself.

"During the period before the exam, I asked for leave, so I was not here during this period. I really don't know much about Mu Zhen not taking the exam here. If you remind me, I don't need to look for his papers anymore. After Teacher Gu finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then said: "The grades in this class are not satisfactory. Except for one outstanding student who didn't take the exam, the best grade didn't even pass 70 points, so I think Impossible, if Mu Zhen took the exam, she would definitely not be so bad, and I didn't see Mu Zhen's grades on the summary report card, so I wanted to find his test paper from the papers, I really don't know Mu Zhen Didn't take the test here!"

Lao Mu thought that Mu Zhen scored 81 points in the English test, so she is still the best here!But Lao Mu didn't have the nerve to say it. He felt that if he said it, Teacher Gu would be disappointed to some extent.

"How do you think Mu Zhen is studying this semester?" Old Mu felt that Teacher Gu taught Mu Zhen naturally, so he knew more about Mu Zhen.

"Mu Zhen is smart, studious, and a good student, but..." Teacher Gu stopped suddenly when he said the word "just".

"Please continue talking, I won't mind!" According to Lao Mu's intuition, what Teacher Gu said next was what he wanted to hear the most.

"Hey, I don't know the whole story. It's just that when I asked for leave, I heard that Mu Zhen was having a puppy love with a girl at school. I don't believe it, but it really caused a lot of trouble in the school!" Teacher Gu originally wanted to tell Mu Zhen I wanted to clarify something, but I didn't know where to start, so I especially emphasized the word "do not believe".

"Puppy love?" Hearing this, Lao Mu was quite surprised. He could never have imagined that his son would do such a thing in school. , couldn't remember anything, and didn't know what he said, so he staggered out of the office.

Teacher Gu who was following behind thought about Lao Mu's dull expression, regretted that he had talked too much, and looked blankly at Lao Mu's leaving figure, a dark cloud enveloped his heart.

　Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "one stone stirs up a thousand waves", many of which are caused by inadvertent language. If people do not have language, the world will reduce countless disturbances, but it is the special function of language that will stir up countless layers. waves, and even stormy waves.

　　The turbulent waves mercilessly tore at the heart of an innocent young man. For this young man, terror and nightmares had just begun.
