Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 77
Old Mu, who came back from Da'an's house, saw Mu Zhen who was studying, walked to his side, and looked at him quietly for a while. Mu Zhen felt that the old Mu on the side wanted to say something to her, so she raised her head and looked at him. Taking a look at Old Mu, he asked, "I've been out for so long today, did you buy me some books?"

"No, I didn't buy any books." Lao Mu responded hastily.

"Then there must be something wrong?" Mu Zhen guessed.

"It's nothing, I went to your aunt's house today, just when your cousin came back, and chatted with him about his studies, he told me that no matter what you do now, the diploma is the first priority." Lao Mu said Stopping here, he seemed to think of something again, and added to Mu Zhen: "Now, if you don't study hard, how can you get a diploma in the future, let alone work!"

Old Mu suddenly thought of the "Political Economics" that he brought to Tian Cheng: "Stop talking, I'll go to your Uncle Tian Cheng's house first, and give him a book."

He walked out the door while talking, took down the cloth bag from the handlebar, took out the book he had just borrowed from Da'an, and shouted to Mu Zhen who was inside the house: "I'm going to your Uncle Tiancheng's house."

Before Mu Zhen could respond, Lao Mu turned around and walked out of the courtyard. Mu Zhen looked at the back of Lao Mu walking out, and felt that Lao Mu had changed into a different person today. She never asked about diplomas. When he came back there, he talked about the diploma with himself. It seems that what his cousin talked to him must be about the diploma, and it had a great influence on him. Otherwise, why would he come to talk about this topic with himself?Mu Zhen was a little confused, but she felt that it was better not to ask about adult matters.

As soon as Lao Mu arrived at the gate of Tiancheng's house, he heard the sobbing of a woman in Tiancheng's courtyard, and couldn't help but stop, "What? What happened to Tiancheng's house?"

"Stop crying, isn't it just that a few piggies died? What's so sad about it?" This was Tian Cheng's voice.

Lao Mu immediately understood, knocked on the door a few times, and followed Tian Cheng's words, "Come in".Old Mu pushed the door open and entered the courtyard. Tian Cheng's daughter-in-law stopped crying and entered the house without even thinking about saying hello to Lao Mu. He greeted Tian Cheng: "Come into the room and talk!"

Old Mu looked at Tian Cheng's eyes, not knowing whether it was good or not, he stared blankly at the restrained Tian Cheng.

"Don't be in a daze. Something happened to my pig farm. A few piglets died a few days ago. I invited Dr. Liu from the veterinary station to take a look. He said that the epidemic prevention was not done well, and the piglets that hadn't been removed just now All the sick piglets were vaccinated and just left. She couldn’t bear to think about your brother and sister, and she burst into tears. I advised her that this is nothing! The reason is that I didn’t do a good job in epidemic prevention. Now Only then did I realize that I still need to learn technically, and there is nothing wrong with learning systematically." Tian Cheng stood there and explained to Lao Mu.

"That's right, I went to my old cousin's house today, and he also mentioned the importance of diplomas in the unit. For us, diplomas are knowledge. I borrowed the book I mentioned to you a few days ago. Studying the market will definitely be of great benefit, what did you learn about the systematics you mentioned just now?" Mu Zhen asked.

"I mean that I must learn the knowledge of raising pigs systematically. What happened in the pig farm this time was caused by my ignorance of knowledge about raising pigs. So if I have studied systematically and mastered all aspects of raising pigs, This kind of thing can be avoided." Tian Cheng's serious expression made Lao Mu feel that it was really necessary.

"How do you want to learn?" Lao Mu has always treated Tian Cheng's affairs as his own, and his feelings for this old classmate in front of him were not achieved overnight.

"I'm worried! There are very few books on this subject in the bookstore, and we don't have any reliable teachers around us. Do you have any ideas?" Tian Cheng felt that Lao Mu had been in school all along, so naturally he had more contact with people and things than himself. , so I asked a question.

This question reminded Lao Mu of one thing.

"There is really a way. Are you listening to the radio now?" Old Mu reminded Tian Cheng.

"Now I'm so busy with the pig farm that I can't live without it. In addition to the affairs in the village, there are things I need to deal with. How can I have time to listen?" Tian Cheng showed embarrassment.

"Now there is an agricultural broadcasting school on the radio. You can sign up for it. You can study systematically and get a diploma. It's a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!" It seems that he not only encouraged himself to participate in the correspondence study, but also passed this energy to the classmates in front of him.

Hearing what Lao Mu said, Tian Cheng felt that this matter should be a good thing, and he also needed knowledge in this area, but he became worried about the registration: "I haven't heard of it, so I don't know how to register. ?”

"Although I have heard it a few times by chance, I don't know where to sign up. I guess there should be a sub-station in our county, or we should insist on attending classes every day. There should be specific matters for registration. We both pay attention to it!" Mu's proposal is undoubtedly a very good thing for Tian Cheng.

Tian Cheng's daughter-in-law, who entered the room sobbing, had already stopped crying, and when she heard Tian Cheng's conversation with Lao Mu, she immediately felt that Lao Mu was well-informed, and immediately felt that the management of the pig farm had added insurance, so she stood at the door of the house. Old Mu greeted: "Old Brother Mu is still thoughtful. He went into the room and drank water. You brothers should talk about this matter!"

Old Mu was a little embarrassed by what Tian Cheng's wife said, so he quickly said: "Look, it's not that I don't know what to say!"

This sentence caused all three of them to laugh happily.

Tian Cheng also followed his wife, and politely let Tian Cheng into the room. Tian Cheng's wife made jasmine tea for the two of them, and the unique fragrance of jasmine immediately wafted in the room.

"Look, when we went to your house that day, we just chatted about the market, and you were concerned about it, and borrowed books for me. I don't know how to thank you?" Tian Cheng who sat down saw his wife had already turned the corner. , the mood immediately improved, he said gratefully to Lao Mu.

"Who told us to be classmates? A few days ago, Mu Zhen was at your pig farm and troubled you a lot!" Old Mu knew nothing about Tian Cheng giving Mu Zhen money, so he didn't mention the money. But I always felt that Tian Cheng had caused a lot of trouble in those days.

"Don't tell me, when Mu Zhen was here, she really helped me a lot. Regardless of his young age, he is very careful and conscientious in everything he does. I observed him for a few days, and he was able to do many things. Well organized, there is a bigger change." Tian Cheng took a sip of tea and swallowed it.

Old Mu was surprised by his hurdle, and was also very interested, and then asked, "What big change?"

"After Mu Zhen left, I found that Lao Zhao started to learn characters. Every time I went, he would ask me how to read new characters. Don't you think this change came from your Mu Zhen? A 60-year-old person should be Enjoying his old age, but this old Zhao is really like an old cow, not to mention that he insisted on coming to my pig farm to help, and he started to become a primary school student in an orderly manner, don't you think it's strange?" Tian Cheng felt a little unbelievable when he spoke.

"It's a good thing. It's just that at his age, he might just be curious. If he perseveres, that's amazing!" When Tian Cheng talked about Lao Zhao's learning of characters, Lao Mu only thought that Lao Zhao was just curious about literacy, and he didn't think so. very concerned.

The two chatted from the pig farm to Mu Zhen, and then from Mu Zhen to Lao Zhao. They chatted for nearly half an hour unknowingly. Seeing how speculative the two chatted, Tian Cheng who was sitting by the side The daughter-in-law just listened, and also felt that the old Mu in front of her was the finishing touch to the improvement of her family, and she was grateful for the care of the old Mu from the bottom of her heart, so she stood up and said to the old Mu: "Brother Mu, you are chatting, I Make two dishes, and you two will drink two cups at night!"

Hearing what Tiancheng's wife said, Lao Mu realized that it was getting late, so he stood up and said politely: "Don't bother you, this is really an old saying that you should drink and meet your bosom friend for a thousand cups, and if you don't speculate, your brother When the two of you get together, you start talking, and I have something to do today, so I'll go back first."

After standing up, Tian Cheng also politely asked Lao Mu to have dinner before leaving. Lao Mu stepped out of the door, waved his hands again and again, and said, "You're welcome, there are plenty of opportunities after dinner. Think carefully about what I said, so don't miss it." It's time to sign up!"

When Lao Mu went out, he still didn't forget to tell Tian Cheng to make Tian Cheng feel grateful from the heart, and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely think about it, how can I forget this important event in life?"

Tian Cheng and his wife sent Lao Mu to the gate, and watched Lao Mu walk towards the street.
