Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 89
Before Lao Mu had finished his breakfast, he heard the "chug" of a motorcycle outside the door.

Old Mu immediately put down his job, stood at the door and saw that Tian Cheng had already parked the car outside the door: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished my meal yet!" Before Tian Cheng could reply, Lao Mu retreated into the house.

After returning to the house, Lao Mu quickly picked up his rice bowl, took two bites into his mouth suddenly, his cheeks puffed up, and he greeted Xiuhua in an inarticulate way: "Hurry up and get my bag!" , I want to follow Tian Cheng to the town to sign up!"

Seeing Lao Mu's impatience, Xiuhua laughed, "Look, you are in a hurry, like a three-year-old child, no matter how anxious you are, you will have enough to eat." The cloth bag that Mu brought out, was handed to Lao Mu.

"I can't take care of it anymore. Let's take a ride with him. You can't just think about our affairs. You have to take care of him first." Lao Mu picked up his bag and hurried out of the house.

Outside the gate, Tian Cheng had already adjusted the motorcycle, sat on the seat and waited for Lao Mu to come up. Without saying a word, Lao Mu directly raised his legs and rode up. Slowly released the hand of the clutch, maybe the accelerator was a little too big, only a "woo" sound was heard, a puff of smoke came out from the rear of the car, and it drove towards the main road.

Because the car started too fast, the motorcycle crossed the main road and rushed straight to the threshing field on the opposite side of the road. After turning a small circle, it drove onto the main road to Qingcheng Town.Old Mu who was sitting at the back broke out in a cold sweat, and repeatedly advised Tian Cheng: "Drive slowly, it's early! Don't be in a hurry!"

Tian Cheng said loudly: "It's okay, you sit still, I've been driving this car for a while, and the temper of this car has basically been touched, the only thing missing is a driver's license."

The motorcycle running normally was very stable, and it was no longer rushing like it was when it first started, and Lao Mu's heart just dropped when he mentioned it in his throat.

It was the first time for Lao Mu to ride such a fast two-wheeled car, he didn't talk much in the car, it wasn't that he didn't believe in Tian Cheng's driving skills, but he didn't want to disturb Tian Cheng's driving attention.

In just one cigarette, the two arrived at the south end of Qingcheng Town.Tian Cheng slowed down the speed of the car, and slowly and steadily stopped at the entrance of the photo studio.

The door of the photo studio is open, just like Lao Mu came yesterday, there is still no one outside.

"Is Director Yu there?" After getting off the car, Lao Mu stood at the door and shouted into the room.

The curtain in the inner room was raised, and the person who came out was not the curator Yu, but a middle-aged man. At a glance, Lao Mu recognized that this was the original photographer, because he had taken pictures of the students many times in Xiaowangzhuang School. Lao Wang is no stranger to him. Everyone called him Da Da at the time. At this time, Lao Mu could tell from his appearance that Da Da was the son of curator Yu. Seeing Da Da come out, Lao Mu hurriedly said: "Brother, the one-inch photo taken yesterday Have the photos been developed today?"

"It turned out to be Teacher Mu. It was washed out. I heard from my father yesterday that you came to take pictures. If I were here, why would I need your money!" Big Da replied with a smile.

"Look at what you said, where is Director Yu?" Lao Mu asked.

"You know my father?" Greater Than was a little puzzled.

"When I was in high school, I met in the library. He took special care of me when I borrowed books!" Old Mu said almost.

"It seems that you have known each other for not a day or two. When I came back yesterday, he went back to the county." Da Da said, entered the accounting room at the door, quickly found Lao Mu's photo, and handed it to Lao Mu. Mu.

Old Mu turned around and pointed at Tian Cheng who was standing behind him, and said, "We came together, and he also has to take a photo to make an urgent request. Yesterday, I heard from the curator Yu that you have a brother who is in charge of the registration of the Agricultural Broadcasting School in the Agricultural Bureau." , This is not my classmate who is going to sign up, so I came to you to take pictures first to prepare for the sign up."

"Are you looking for my younger brother to enroll in the Agricultural Broadcasting School?" Big Yu was a little puzzled.

"Yeah, it seems that we have found the right person." Lao Mu continued.

"But yesterday I heard him say that the registration is over!" Da Da was a little puzzled why the two of them brought up the registration now.

"We didn't know where to register at all. If the curator Yu reminded me of this matter yesterday, we would not know that there is such a correspondence station in our county now! See if you can help me to make up one after registering now." Tian Cheng Interface Road.

"I can't say for sure about this matter. I'll take a picture first, and then go to him to try. Maybe I can make a supplementary report this year." Big Da said with a bit of regret.

Tian Cheng felt that there was something in what he said, but it was inconvenient to say anything more, so he paid the money and followed Da Da into the photo studio, and the photo was taken soon.

The two waved goodbye to Da Da, Tian Cheng took Lao Mu to the town education committee, the education committee gave Lao Mu two forms, asked Lao Mu to sit there and fill them out carefully, and pasted photos on them.

Tian Cheng saw that it would take a few minutes for Lao Mu, so he said to Lao Mu: "You fill it in first, and wait for me here after you fill it out, I will be back in a while!" After speaking, he smiled mysteriously at Lao Mu, and started the motorcycle The car left the Board of Education.

Tian Cheng came to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, bought two packs of snacks, and then went to the fruit stand to pick up the overripe apples and bought a big bag, hung it on the handlebars, and went straight back to the photo studio.

"Brother Yu, look, I still need you to give me some good words for my registration this year, otherwise I really don't know who to turn to?" Tian Cheng who walked into the photo studio saw that Da Da sitting in the financial room said politely Said, opened the door as he spoke, and handed in the things he bought.

"What are you doing?" Da Da stood up a little unnaturally, and pushed back the things Tian Cheng handed over.

"My little thought. I was very grateful when I heard from Old Mu Ge yesterday that Uncle Yu told him where to sign up. I wanted to buy some things when I came here today, but Old Mu Ge was in a hurry to sign up, so I didn't have time. No, he went to fill out the form, so I bought something and rushed over to express my thanks!" Tian Cheng said very sincerely.

"Then I can't take your things!" Yu Yu felt a little embarrassed by what he said just now.

"You don't see many things. I want to make up the report this time as much as possible, and I need you to worry about it, otherwise I won't be able to report this year, and I will have to wait another year." Tian Cheng's voice sounded a little pleading.

"This matter, I can ask my brother for you first. He is in charge of it. It seems that I heard him say that if you miss the registration, there is still a chance to make up the registration." Big Da explained.

"Then thank you so much!" Tian Cheng said, and placed the thing that he pushed back on the bench outside, and retreated to the door.

Da Da still wanted to mention those things and send them out, Tian Cheng hurriedly said: "If you are more polite, you won't have the sincerity to help!"

After hearing what Tian Cheng said, it was inconvenient for him to send it out, so he said: "Seeing what you said, I am disrespectful, I must help you!" After saying that, both of them laughed.

"Thank you in advance!" Tian Cheng who retreated to the door said loudly.

Tian Cheng, who went back to the education committee to pick up Lao Mu, saw Lao Mu looking around at the gate of the education committee. He didn't mention to Lao Mu the matter of going to the photo studio just now. Doing things by yourself is a bit superfluous.

Tian Cheng sent Lao Mu to school, and he didn't dare to delay any longer. He thought in his mind, although he had a line bigger than this to help him sign up, but in order to be safe, he turned around and went to the old man's place in Liji Village .

It was less than ten o'clock when Tiancheng arrived in Liji Village, and the father-in-law Ren Fanping was sitting in the house tasting tea. In the countryside, there are really not many educated old men like his father-in-law. Because of his education, he was also in the brigade in the early years Do something, these two years I feel that I am old, and I don’t want to worry about it anymore. The affairs in the village should be left to the young people in the village. I drink tea when I am free at home, and plant some vegetables in front of and behind the house by the way. Have fun.

Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Ren Fanping, who was sitting in the room drinking tea, knew without guessing that his daughter-in-law was coming.

Tian Cheng who entered the house was carrying two boxes of tea in his hand. Over the years, whenever he came to the old man's house alone, the most important thing was to bring a box of tea to the old man.Ren Fanping also liked this son-in-law who understood his thoughts better.

"Come on, Tian Cheng! Sit down and drink water with me." Ren Fanping said, took a cup in front of him and filled it with tea, and handed it to Tian Cheng.

Tian Cheng hurriedly received the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "How can I bother you, I can do it myself."

"What's on your mind if you talk about it?" Ren Fanping knew that these days Tiancheng had nothing to do with the pigsty, so he didn't have any free time to come and see him.

"You guessed it right. I came here this time to inquire about your classmate in the Agriculture Bureau." Tian Cheng said, taking a sip of tea.

"What? Do you need to find him?" Ren Fanping asked in surprise.

Tian Cheng explained in detail that he wanted to go to the Agricultural Bureau to find someone to apply for the Agricultural Broadcasting School, and finally said: "If I can't make up the report this time, let's see if he can help me?"

"My classmate's name is Liang Sihua. I heard that he is the director of the Bureau of Agriculture, but according to my age, I am retired at home now, so I should not work in the unit." Ren Fanping took a sip of tea and continued: "Although he is retired, As the saying goes, 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse', it can be retirement, after all, the leader is retired, and he is an old revolutionary who worked before liberation, if he helps, there should be no problem."

"How is the relationship between you two brothers?" Tian Cheng felt that this relationship was very important, so he asked directly.

"The people who went to school back then had a very good relationship. When he went to join the army, I encouraged him to go. It's just that my family insisted that I come back, so I didn't go. No one went to the army for a few years and became an official. We don’t want to climb high, so we don’t have much contact with each other. But I think as long as you find him and mention me, I don’t think it’s wrong!” Ren Fanping fell into deep thought, maybe a little regretful that he didn’t go to the army with him back then , looking outside the door, no more squeaks.

Looking at the old man's expression, Tian Cheng felt that he might have touched his sore spot, so he didn't speak any more, stood up, went outside to wash his face, returned to the house and said to Ren Fanping, "I'll go to the county seat in two days, Find your old classmate, and send you a greeting to him! Don't worry, I will make the old man happy."

Ren Fanping nodded, smiled and said, "How can I worry about your work!"

Tian Cheng felt that if he sat here again, there would be nothing wrong with him. As long as he knew the name and the relationship between the two of them, the rest of the matter would be his Wang Tiancheng's business.

Tian Cheng stood up and bid farewell to his father-in-law, and rode his bicycle towards home.
