Chapter 56
Guo Zisu found a washbasin and a towel, and said, "Come, minced meat, wash your face, put on clean clothes, and go to school with Teacher Guo for a wedding."

Min Rou hesitated, withdrew his hands behind his back, looked at Guo Zisu with longing and sad eyes, and murmured, "My father said that our family just had a funeral, so we can't go to someone's house for a wedding."

He said nonsense, he definitely didn't want to spend gift money.Guo Zisu cursed in her heart.Holding up Minced Meat's face, "Come on, wash it up, and go with Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo just sealed a big red envelope there, so it's worthwhile for us to have a big meal. Isn't it?"

Min Rou immediately raised his face, obediently allowing Guo Zisu to wash him clean.Guo Zisu wiped the smudges on his face carefully, feeling that his small face had lost a sharp chin.She said silently, Liang Shi, you have won.Hot tears dripped down the child's face.The child blinked, but did not wipe away the hot tears.

He has no cleaner clothes, and all he wears are donated by others.Guo Zisu felt sad for a while, patted him ashes, and led him out.

When he reached the door of the shed, Minrou stepped back a few steps, stopped, unbuttoned his clothes, put his cold little hands into his bosom, took out a jade bracelet, put it in Guo Zisu's hand, and said, "This is the jade bracelet my mother put on." In my arms, I think she must have asked me to return it to you."

Holding the jade bracelet with the body temperature of minced meat, Guo Zisu had mixed feelings.Without thinking too much, she put the bracelet on Minrou's hand with tears in her eyes.

Minrou shrank his hand, seeing Guo Zisu grasping his hand with a solemn expression, he stopped struggling.

Guo Zisu put the minced meat-wearing jade bracelet hand on her cheek, and said softly, "Minced meat, this is a thought your mother gave you. Wearing it, your mother will always be by your side."

Minced Meat nodded half-understood.He took off the bracelet, stuffed it into his clothes, and said, "It's safer to put it here."

Guo Zisu walked towards the school with Minced Meat in one hand and a travel bag in the other.

At this time, the school playground was already filled with dining tables made of desks, and people in twos and threes were sitting or standing, chatting with people they knew well.

Uncle Bone's face was painted gaudy, and he was standing in the school corridor chatting with people.He saw Guo Zisu coming with Minced Meat at a glance, walked through the crowd and came over.

Seeing him, Guo Zisu burst into tears again.She knew that she had to control her emotions at the wedding banquet, so she quickly turned her face away, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the gesture of straightening her forehead.

Uncle Bone looked at her calmly and said, "Come on, let's find a place to sit and talk."

Guo Zisu handed the things Liang Shi brought to Uncle Gu, and said, "Master, I wanted to visit your house earlier, but just now." She didn't continue.

Uncle Bone said: "I understand, you are here, we meet, that's all. Is that kid okay?"

"It's not bad. Mibo is cultivating him vigorously, and he himself is willing to learn."

Uncle Bone stroked his beard and said, "Tell him not to worry about us, and focus on doing his own thing well. Only when he becomes a talent, will he be effective if he cares about us."

Guo Zisu nodded and said, "Master, you have to take care of your health, Liang Shi still hopes to have the opportunity to pick you up to play in Ningcheng in the future."

Uncle Bone laughed and said: "I'm old, it doesn't matter if I can't go out to play. Tell him not to worry about it."

Uncle Bone took a look at the minced meat, and said in a low voice, "You cleaned up this kid, right? Since his mother left, his father hasn't been home, and the kid is full and hungry in the shed, poor thing."

Guo Zisu lowered his voice in surprise and said, "It's already pitiful for the child to lose his mother. Why doesn't Stone care about his son?"

Uncle Gu rolled his eyes a few times, and said: "Oh, this stone is very clever, and it is very good at saving money for me."

At this time, someone came to invite Uncle Gu to sit at the matchmaker's seat.Guo Zisu got up quickly, and said to Uncle Bone, "Master, hurry up, Min Rou and I will also find someone we know better and have a table together."

Uncle Gu raised the bag in his hand, and asked Guo Zisu to convey his thanks to Liang Shi again, and said to Minced Meat: "Son, if you have nothing to do, come to Uncle's house to eat. They are all bought by Mr. Guo and Mr. Liang. You They are also happy to be able to eat."

At this time, Li Yimin came over, and while beckoning Mr. Gu to sit down, he said to Guo Zisu, "Mr. Guo, I really didn't expect you to come. The way up the mountain is not easy. You take the minced meat to our school." Let’s sit at one table, it’s all teachers and their families.”

Guo Zisu looked in the direction of his finger and saw the people at the table waving to her.He smiled and took the minced meat and walked over.

As soon as Min Rou sat down, a child looked at him, squinted and said, "Min Rou, you come to school for dinner because you are so dirty? I heard that your father wants to take you to study in the town?"

Minrou frowned, and said in a low voice, "I'm studying here."

The kid wanted to go on talking, his mother patted him, "Why are you so talkative?"

Just at this time, the food was served, and the child was busy stretching out his chopsticks to pick up the food.

Seeing minced meat twisting chopsticks in his hand, Guo Zisu encouraged him and said: "Minced meat, add vegetables, eat whatever you like. Quickly pick it up."

Min Rou raised his head and sneaked a sneaky glance at the others on the table. Seeing that everyone was busy eating, he stretched out his chopsticks without paying attention to him.

Guo Zisu saw that his chopsticks were stretched towards the bowl containing the meatballs, but another child quickly pushed aside his chopsticks and took one away.She quickly stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a ball and put it in his bowl, and said with a smile, "Eat it."

The children were soon full and scattered to play.Min Rou also got up and left the dining table.

As soon as he left, a woman sitting next to Guo Zisu sighed: "Oh, I would rather die my father who is an official than my mother who begs for rice. I'm afraid this child will grow up to be a tramp."

Guo Zisu felt chilled when he heard this, and asked the teacher next to him: "Just now your child said that his father wants to take the minced meat to study in the town?"

The teacher took a big sip of wine and said disdainfully: "The minced meat hasn't gone through the registration procedures yet, and the school is looking for Shitou to do a job, and he said he will send his children to study in the town. Who knows what he thinks."

"What do you think? It's not that Chunhua is gone. He's going to settle down in Huachangqun. If he doesn't bring some money, will he be allowed to come?" The person next to him said dissatisfied.

"He's going to Hua Changqun's house?" Guo Zisu was taken aback.

"yes".The woman next to her said quickly: "The woman's ex-husband left three brick-roofed houses for her and her daughter. Their place is close to the town, and the fields produce more than ours. I want the stones to go to her house."

If Shi Shi really went to Hua Changqun to settle down, what about the minced meat?Chunhua fought with Hua Changqun before she was alive, and even disfigured her face. Will she treat Minced Meat kindly?Guo Zisu only felt the cold air hit her, and her scalp felt tighter and tighter.

She wanted to say something, thought about it, and swallowed the words.I saw minced meat turning around, no one was playing with him, and walked back to her side.She beckoned him to sit down, picked up an apple from the fruit plate, handed it to him, and said softly, "Eat it."

After dinner, the sun was already setting, and there were some people waiting for the bus at the corner of the canteen. It seemed that some guests who had a wedding were going back.Guo Zisu thought that tomorrow was his first day at work, so he couldn't be late, so he had to hurry back.

She took the minced meat by the hand, bid farewell to the principal and Uncle Bone, and invited them to Chengguan Primary School when they had time.The two matchmakers were still being fed alcohol, so they didn't say much, they just told her to come to Qingshi Village to have a look.

Guo Zisu walked into the new house, the bride and groom were surrounded by a group of young people talking and laughing.Xia Lian saw Guo Zisu coming in with the minced meat, she quickly squeezed out from the crowd, hugged Guo Zisu and said, "Mr. Guo, you are really saving face. You can sleep in Liang Gong's original room tonight. I have already arranged everything." , that room is also assigned to us now."

Guo Zisu smiled and said, "Congratulations. I have to go back now. The school has a meeting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Xia Lian listened, pondered for a while, and said, "I've also joined this team now, I understand." She made a phone call and asked the relative who had a car to bring Guo Zisu to the town when he left.

Xia Lian took Guo Zisu's hand, sent her outside the new house, and said, "Mr. Guo, come and play when I'm free, and I'll go to the county to see you when I'm free."

Guo Zisu nodded and said, "You are welcome." She looked at the minced meat, whispered in Xia Lian's ear, "This kid is your student now, let him go to class first. Will definitely take him to school in town."

Xia Lian was a little embarrassed and said: "Mr. Guo, you know that whoever lets the child enter the classroom without paying the fee will be responsible. If his father keeps not paying him the fee, I can't explain it to the principal."

Guo Zisu nodded quickly and said, "I know, I went to see the principal just now, but he's still drinking, so it's not convenient for me to tell."

Xia Lian said: "You don't need to go to the principal either, his wife and children are counting on his little salary, so they can't let him pay the tuition fees for minced meat."

Guo Zisu took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred, and said, "Xia Lian, I only brought more than 100 yuan in change today, and I have to take a car later, so how about this, I will put a hundred yuan in your hand first, and if Shitou really didn't pay the fee later, , I am responsible for the money, and I will never make things difficult for you."

Xia Lian stretched out her hand to hold down the one hundred yuan, and said, "Mr. Guo, I just said this to let you know the situation. How could I ask you to pay the money in advance?" Then she turned to minced meat and said, "Come to school tomorrow. .”

Guo Zisu felt relieved, held Xia Lian's hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you so much. Xia Lian, I wish you an early baby!"

Xia Lian smiled shyly, and said, "Teacher Guo, come and play when you have time."

Guo Zisu walked to the school gate with Minced Meat, and a man sitting in a van waved to her, "Is it Teacher Guo? Xia Lian asked me to take you back to town."

Guo Zisu bent down, and said to Minced Meat, "Minced Meat, I'm going back to school. You can go to Teacher Xia tomorrow to pick up the book, and go to school first."

Minced Meat started crying again, Guo Zisu's heart was sour from crying.She gently touched the face of minced meat, stuffed the one hundred yuan into his hand, and said: "You take this money, the school provides Chinese food every day, you pay one hundred yuan for the meal tomorrow, don't Hungry."

After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at the minced meat anymore, lowered her head, and hurriedly got into the car amidst the sound of urging.

The car started, and minced meat started chasing the car again. He bit his lip tightly, weeping, and waved vigorously while running.

Guo Zisu looked back, tears streaming down his face.The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, and minced meat was running more and more strenuously. When she saw minced meat fall, she cried and said, "stop, stop quickly, the child has fallen."

The driver was startled and hurriedly stopped the car.

Guo Zisu quickly opened the car door and ran towards the minced meat.

Seeing her getting out of the car, Min Rou hurriedly waved his hands, and shouted anxiously: "Ms. Guo, get in the car, go, go, it's getting dark." He struggled to stand up while shouting.

Guo Zisu burst into tears again, she ran over, took out a little change and a piece of paper, scribbled down her phone number on the paper, and handed it to him, "Minced meat, use this money if you need anything." Call me. The commissary will tell you how to dial the number."

Min Rou kept pushing her forward and said eagerly, "Ms. Guo, get in the car, get in the car!"

Guo Zisu got into the car, stretched out his hand from the window, touched his face, and told him: "Don't run after the car, I will come to see you, you have to study hard. Uncle Liang and I discussed it. I will pick you up to learn painting during the summer vacation."

Minrou nodded vigorously, and said softly, "I miss Uncle Liang too."

The car started, gradually getting faster and faster. Min Rou stood there all the time, silently watching the car carrying Guo Zisu go farther and farther and disappear into the col.
