Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 76 suddenly enlightened

Lao Mu was unhappy about his becoming a full-time regular. It is inconvenient to tell his family members about this matter, because they are afraid that they will be as sad as him. Sharing happiness with family members is what he likes to do most. If he can't let his family know, he will keep hiding it. This is his temper for many years.

The next day, Lao Mu was no longer in the mood to do those education reform plans, so he went straight to Binhu Town. He wandered around the town aimlessly, feeling a bit empty in his mind, and really didn’t know what he was doing here. .

There is a small bridge to the north after exiting Binhu Town. There is a low guardrail made of stones on the bridge. Check that no one is coming in front of you. Park your bicycle next to it, and then sit on the bridge and smoke a cigarette to light it. On the road, staring silently ahead, a figure of a cyclist was driving towards him on the road in the distance, his eyes could not help being attracted by this figure, and following the movement of the figure of a cyclist, the cyclist swayed from side to side His body seemed to be strenuous. He looked up at the motionless leaves, and asked himself: "Why does this man ride so hard?" Old Mu suddenly became interested in the person who came. No wind resistance, no matter from which angle, riding should be very easy.The cyclist was getting closer and closer to where he was sitting, and at this moment it was finally clear that the cyclist only had one left leg, and the right leg no longer existed. Because of this, the cyclist needed to keep shaking his body, To maintain balance while riding.Lao Mu felt that since he was young, it was not easy for people to come into this world, and being able to live a normal and healthy life was already a blessing, so why bother with things outside of the body?Just like this disabled person, he can live so strong, what else does he want?

Old Mu, who was thinking, seemed to understand something, threw the cigarette butt into the water under the bridge, stood up and stretched his waist.Just as he was about to turn around, a voice startled him so much that he almost cried out.

"Nephew, what are you doing here?" Old Mu turned his head abruptly.

"So it's a girl, are you here to buy something?" Lao Mu hurriedly greeted.

"Yeah, Da'an came back yesterday. From getting married to now, I don't come back several times a year. When I come back, I just leave. This time I came back to rest for two days. I just wanted to buy something delicious. Yes, improve his life!" Aunt Da An said and pointed to the vegetable basket in her hand.

Lao Mu noticed that there were a lot of vegetables in the vegetable basket in the aunt's hand, including chicken, fish, and meat. At a glance, it looked like a distinguished guest at home.

"Da'an came back to eat alone! Can you eat so much?" Lao Mu looked at the vegetables in the basket a little puzzled.

"Hey, didn't I run into you, you don't have to go home in the morning, just follow me home for dinner!" Old Mu Gu said unceremoniously.

"Since I finished my work last time, I haven't been there for a few days. My brother is at home today, so I just went over to have a look." Old Mu came along to push the boat along.

"When I came here today, Da'an mentioned you and said that I have time to walk around your place. If you go to your house today, it will prevent him from walking around again!" Old Mu Gu muttered.

Lao Mu felt a little embarrassed after listening to his aunt's nagging. It had been a few days since his cousin went to work. At home, but because my cousin was busy with work, I couldn't meet him. Even during the Spring Festival, the day when all Chinese people deserve the most rest, my cousin couldn't enjoy a peaceful holiday at home. According to the girl, due to the case I went to another place a month ago and haven't come back yet!Today I have to go to see it no matter what, and at the same time think of the thing that I promised to borrow books from my cousin a few days ago.

Old Mu was stunned, and the girl greeted him: "Let's go home quickly, so we can cook!"

"Okay, hurry up and get in the car, I'll take you with me!" Lao Mu said, he raised his leg and got on the car, and beckoned the girl to get on the car. After the girl sat firmly, Lao Mu raised his right foot and put it on the bicycle Step on the pedal and start to push hard. When the bicycle starts to move, the left heel is lifted up and firmly stepped on the pedal.

Along the way, Lao Mu listened to the girl chattering about the household chores, and arrived at the entrance of the village in a blink of an eye. Lao Mu saw a hurried figure in front of him, who looked a bit like his cousin Wei Hong.The speed of pedaling under his feet involuntarily slowed down.

"Wei Hong!" Lao Mu shouted.

When Wei Hong turned around, Lao Mu had already rode up to her and asked, "Where are you going?"

As he said that, Old Mu hurriedly stopped the car, and Old Mu Gu who was sitting in the back got off the bicycle and stared suspiciously at the two packs of cigarettes in Mu Hong's hand.

"Who are you buying cigarettes for?" Old Mu Gu asked.

"Don't mention it!" Seeing her mother asking herself, Mu Hong said hastily: "Not long after you left, a group of people came to the house, saying that it was our old relatives. I don't know how I heard that my brother is back. Maybe there is something wrong at home. He was arrested for something. He said he came to ask about the situation and see if his brother could help? This group of brothers had just been sent away, so the man surnamed Wang from our neighboring village arrived again. His eldest son was arrested because of his relationship with men and women. , my brother recognized him, so he asked me to buy two packs of cigarettes!" Wei Hong said, raising the cigarette in his hand and waving it in front of the two of them.

"Then let's go home quickly!" After listening to Wei Hong's words, Old Mu Gu felt that the house was now as lively as a small meeting place. Where would anyone come? Why did my son bring so many troubles when he came back? ?
Lao Mu stopped riding his bicycle, and accompanied his wife into the village while talking.

The post-autumn sun was still showing its final madness, and the three people walking under the sun were all soaked through their clothes. Wei Hong covered her head with her hands as she walked, as if she was wearing a blindfold.The street is quiet, except for the "click, click" of bags being weaved from the residents close to the street, and the screams of cicadas from time to time, no other sounds can be heard. Looking at the end of the street, except for the three of them, I didn't see a single figure. Maybe it was because they were afraid of the sun, and more because the children were attracted by the monotonous TV program broadcast by only one TV station. No one was on the street. Running wildly, ever since black and white TVs existed in the countryside, it was hard to hear the mischievous laughter of children on the street.

The three of them quickly reached the door of the house, and they heard loud conversations coming from the courtyard: "Brother, I will entrust the matter of my son to you!"

"Look where it went, as long as I can help, I will definitely help, but I can only help inquire about this matter!" Lao Mu was very familiar with this voice, it was Da'an's voice.

The three of them were about to enter the door when they ran into two strong men who were about to go out.The two strong men turned their heads and greeted Da'an who was standing in the courtyard: "Look, you have a visitor again!" They said and walked out.

"Cousin, are you from home?" Da'an was a little surprised when he saw his cousin pushing the cart behind his mother and younger sister. After all, he hadn't seen him for two years, and his cousin looked a little old.

"I happened to meet my aunt in the town. I heard that you were back, so I followed. I haven't seen you in the past two years, and I miss you very much." Lao Mu said bluntly when he saw Da'an.

"I miss you too, but I'm too busy at work, so every time I come back, sometimes I spend one night and leave the next day. I don't have time to stay at home. No, I just came back from a long business trip. The leader asked me to come back and rest for two days , It was supposed to be a rest. Two groups of people came just now. The first group said it was my uncle’s grandson and daughter-in-law’s younger brother who was detained because of a fight. They said they asked me to find a relationship and see if I could help release him. , This is a big deal, and the detention lasted only about ten days. I just went in and locked up for two days. I didn’t know how to know that I was back, so I rushed here. I fought and went in for a few days. I honestly reflect on it inside. It will be good for the future. As for the release, it is not up to us to decide. I will explain to them that the detention is only a matter of public security, not a big deal. It is just for him to reflect on it and stop making such mistakes in the future. No, they just left, and these two came again. These two have no relatives with my family, but they are neighbors. He said, let’s just listen. Our son broke the law, and we can’t help, just help It would be good to inquire about it." Da'an said, washed his face in the sink in the courtyard, and handed the towel to Lao Mu: "Seeing that you are hot, wash it too."

Huiqin, who was preparing to boil water in the kitchen, also came out to greet Lao Mu when she heard Lao Mu coming.Lao Mu noticed that Huiqin's stomach had swollen a lot, and it must have been several months.Old Mu looked at Huiqin and asked, "A few days ago, what happened to the matter that your brother contacted you about going to work in the town?"

"It's almost there, but don't we want a baby here? So we have to wait for a while!" Huiqin blushed as she spoke, and Lao Mu could tell that Huiqin's day to have a baby should not be far away.

Lao Mu washed his face, then put the towel on the clothesline in the yard, and followed Da An into the house. Lao Mu saw five or six large watermelons on the ground in the house. Forty catties.

"Wei Hong, quickly open watermelon for cousin!" Da'an shouted to Wei Hong in the yard.

Lao Mu said politely, then sat down to talk with Daan.

"Ever since I became a criminal police officer, my life has been on a revolving door. I don't even know what rest is!" Da'an complained to Mu Zhen.

"That's right, I don't even have time to meet you!" Lao Mu echoed.

"In addition to work, I have another important task, which is to study. I was only studying a junior college. Now the country pays more attention to academic qualifications every year, so I have to study a bachelor's degree. No, I recently enrolled in a correspondence class. I have to find time to attend classes every month, otherwise I will not be able to keep up with the situation in my unit!" Da'an continued.

"Are you going to take a correspondence course too?" Lao Mu was a little surprised. Lao Mu had just suffered the loss of his education in order to become a full-time student. Now that Da'an is also going to take a correspondence course, he feels the importance of this education.

"This time when I became a regular teacher, I was also stuck because of my academic qualifications and failed to pass the test. It seems that this academic qualification has too much influence on people, especially at critical times. Without it, I really can't do it!" Old Mu Shen said Say with emotion.

"Yes, the current state attaches great importance to knowledge and the development of economy and culture. If you don't have a degree, how can you prove your education level? In the future, whether you are evaluating a job title or being promoted, a diploma is the first review. So if you don’t pay attention to study in the early stage and get the diploma you deserve, it will affect a person’s future in the future!" Da’an said excitedly, his voice was much higher.

Old Mu listened fascinated and nodded.Lao Mu feels that he has not passed the test this time, and it is also reasonable. The road of pursuing knowledge is endless. Knowledge should not only be enough, but should be continuously studied in depth, so that knowledge can become the wealth of a person's life. He is like a Buddhist monk. It's like a person who has an epiphany, and his eyes suddenly become bright, suddenly enlightened.

Then Lao Mu suddenly remembered the last time he promised to borrow books from Tian Cheng, so he tentatively asked Da'an: "Do you still remember the relationship between the market and value that you told me, that book is "Political Economics" that you studied?" It's in the textbook, right?"

"Yes, you can still remember this book now. When I taught the knowledge in my school textbook, I only thought it was useful for the current market economy. I didn't expect you to remember it." Da'an really admired the book in front of him. Cousin has a good memory.

"Can I still find this book now? I want to take it and have a look." Lao Mu suddenly felt a common saying when he said these words—follow good people to learn good people, and follow witches to scare gods. Previously known knowledge is much richer.

When Daan heard that Lao Mu wanted to borrow books, he was naturally not stingy, nodded and said, "I'll look for it, and I probably didn't throw it away!"

After finishing speaking, he returned to the room where he lived, and soon found out the "Political Economy" that had been dusty for more than two years, patted it, and handed it to Lao Mu. Lao Mu smiled and said: "There is Yan Ruyu in the ancient sayings, and there is a house of gold in the book. It's true. A few days ago, when I was talking about the market to my classmate Tian Cheng from the same village, I mentioned the relationship between the market and value, so I thought of this book." Yes, if you really want to do a good job in market economy, you really need to read more books like this.”

Da'an was amused by his words, and then laughed.

The two of them were talking about the knowledge diploma in the room. Before they knew it, more than an hour had passed. In the kitchen, the old Mu girls had almost prepared their lunch, and they brought them to the table one by one. Chicken, fish, meat and eggs were all on the table. , filled the table in front of him, whetted Lao Mu's appetite, and took a good bite.

Coming out of the girl's house, Lao Mu felt that the sky was high, his heart was brightened, and everything in front of him became more comfortable for him.
