Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 97
While Tiancheng was busy entertaining guests, various preparations were being intensively made on the construction site of the old Mu's house.

After everything was ready, Laoguan directed the people to set up firecrackers, lined up on the south side of the homestead, placed a second pedal every one meter, and then placed five thousand firecrackers at a place two meters away from the second pedal. The firecrackers at the head were laid flat on the ground, forming a circle, Lao Guan lit a cigarette, and greeted everyone: "Stay away, I'm going to set off the firecrackers!"

After finishing speaking, he squatted down, flicked the cigarette ash, and leaned towards the medicine twister with his two pedals facing down. With the sound of "squeak...", Lao Guan ran away quickly. Everyone saw that he ran faster The rabbit moved quickly, and burst into laughter, and the ones who got closer immediately covered their ears tightly, and then heard a muffled "expansion", and the two pedals flew into the sky in an instant, and there was another "boom", and it exploded , This sound made the people in Xiaowangzhuang prick up their ears, wondering who is going to have a happy event again?With the sound of the cannon, the workers brought by Lao Guan picked up the shovel and turned over the soil near a wooden pile that had just been dropped in a corner of the house, marking the start of construction.

After the sound of seven ear-shattering cannons, people in the distance heard the "cracking" sound like frying beans in a pot. Xiaowangzhuang will have a happy event again. Many people who are idle at home come out The door of the house, walking towards the construction site of the old Mu's house, in the conversation and laughter of each other, their faces were full of joy.

"Sister-in-law, if you need help, tell me directly." Mu Jiaxing, who walked out of the crowd, said directly to Xiuhua.

"I'm one of them, if you have any chores, just tell me, and I'll do it." It was Wang Lianying who spoke.

After a while, seven or eight people signed up one after another. Seven or eight people were young and strong laborers, some were elderly, and some were young wives.Seeing everyone scrambling to help, Xiuhua felt grateful in her heart, and quickly said to everyone: "Everyone go to my house for lunch, and in the afternoon, let's listen to Laoguan's division of labor for us!"

"It's too much trouble for you to help, go home and eat, come over after dinner, just listen to you to distribute!" A slender voice in the crowd said.

"Yes, go home for dinner, come back after dinner!" As soon as the words "come back after dinner", the gathered people began to disperse. Lao Guan looked at Xiuhua and said, "You guys The people in the village are really nice, everyone gathers around when something happens, like a family.”

"That's not true, the tradition passed down in our village is that when a family is in trouble, everyone helps, and when one person falls, everyone helps!" Xiuhua responded.

"We don't have to worry about finding someone to build a house here. As soon as our cannons are fired, people will grab the loose jobs. Why worry about the shortage of people on the construction site!" Lao Guan felt that he had traveled through so many villages, and when he met people like this, they were united and helped each other. This is the first time. In many villages, most of the owners call a few close friends or relatives and friends to help. I have never seen such a cannonball, and there are voluntary signups to help.

"The cannon has been fired, and the ground has been broken. I have prepared lunch for everyone at noon, so just eat at home!" Xiuhua greeted everyone.

"Is the meal ready?" Yang Qinglin who was standing aside asked Xiuhua.

"I made it before I came, just waiting for everyone to go home!" Xiuhua said with a happy face.

"Then we'll be here in the morning, and we'll have dinner first when we go home, and then we'll be able to work after dinner!" Yang Qinglin said to everyone.

"Convincing people to persuade you to eat enough, the boss said, so we will obey the boss, put down the tools first, and go back to eat!" Lao Guan heard the conversation between the father and daughter and knew that the meal was ready, so he immediately suggested that everyone put down their hands. Don't mention the work, go home and eat.

As people often say, time flies like an arrow. For those who have something to do, the calendar turns a bit fast. Tomorrow is the weekend again. Mu Zhen, who is studying in Qingcheng Middle School, can take another afternoon off. As usual, students They all went home one after another, only Mu Zhen and a few classmates who were far away from home did not go back.

In the past few days, Mu Zhen always took books to study on the river embankment during her extracurricular activities. On the one hand, he was greedy for the good learning environment, and on the other hand, he was waiting for his friend who shepherds——Hu Guoqing.He sat on the grass on the second beach of the river embankment, breathing in the breath of green grass, and enjoying the unique tranquility by the river.Whenever the sun sets on the west mountain and reflects a fiery red, he stands up sadly, and always looks blankly at the grassland past the river bay, then shakes his head helplessly, and returns to school with a trace of regret.

Today's Mu Zhen is the same as usual. After lunch, she sleeps in the dormitory for a while, and when she wakes up, she feels a lot more light-headed. She sits in the classroom and reads a book for a while, seeing that the sun outside has already slanted to the west, and she has lost her midday majesty. Then he picked up two more books and walked towards the embankment.

Mu Zhen, who came to the embankment, suddenly noticed that the leaves under the pagoda tree had turned yellow, which reminded him of a poem his father taught him when he was young, and whispered to himself: "It's easy to be young, but it's hard to learn in an inch of time." Don’t take it lightly. I haven’t realized the dream of spring grass in the pond, and the autumn leaves in front of the steps.” He still remembered the explanation of this little poem his father taught him. Young people should spend their study time well, and they can’t live up to the good time. Feeling the breath of spring, it is autumn in a blink of an eye.

After chanting, Mu Zhen walked along the embankment for tens of meters, and still ran along her familiar path to the second beach under the embankment. In the grass, Mu Zhen sat flattened The lawn is as round as a lotus throne on which Avalokitesvara sits.He picked up the chemistry textbook casually, flipped through it quickly, and memorized the chemical reaction formulas he had just learned. In Mu Zhen's eyes, chemistry, a natural science that he had just met, was actually just the experience gained by his predecessors. There is nothing difficult, the difficulty is that he can’t remember. I don’t know why his memory is good, or he is interested in the physical and chemical properties of those substances. Regarding the chapter that the teacher said, he closed the book, When he thought about it carefully, he could basically map it out in his mind. He took out the paper and pen, and wrote and drew on the paper while memorizing. After a while, he wrote all the contents of a chapter on the paper, and compared it with the book After a while, except for one or two places that were not written, there were no mistakes. He was proud of his memory, and he was excited about his memory.In the past two years, Mu Zhen has used this method to win all the subjects in seconds. Every day, he takes time to recall. He once gave it an interesting bionic name - rumination, which is based on this "rumination". While consolidating the knowledge he has learned, he is also familiar with the new knowledge. It is because of this that he can make his grades more stable, and he can also grasp the knowledge points in the textbook without omission.The time for this kind of "rumination" is uncertain, just like an old cow that eats grass, as long as it calms down, it will find that it is chewing in its mouth. Mu Zhen also did it. During this period, sometimes on the riverbank, sometimes before sleep Sometimes at the desk after eating, whenever and wherever, as long as he calms down, he will always do such a brain scheduling exercise-constantly "ruminating", recreating the textbook class. Knowledge points, review and consolidate these knowledge points.

Mu Zhen felt that she had a good grasp of the review of the knowledge points just now. He stood up contentedly, stretched his waist, and then stood by the river to exercise his muscles and bones, and heard the sound of the flute faintly.

Mu Zhen froze there, her outstretched arm was not put down immediately, but was raised in the air, listening to the sound of the flute from a distance, as if afraid of losing the perception of the sound of the flute, she tasted it breathlessly, this must be Hu Guoqing , it must be, I want to see him, and tell him the good news that has been in my heart for a few days: "Come back, my friend, our dear Teacher Chen wants to see you, and Teacher Chen praised you after seeing your composition." !"
