Chapter 109 Investigation
Old Mu's family was behind the management office. When he saw the red brick courtyard wall, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "My God...it's really only an acre and a half..."< br>
This is a super large yard. In addition to a large three-story wooden building at the bottom, there are also two small factories on both sides.
On one side is a furniture processing factory and on the other side is a tea factory.
Everyone was amazed by the big yard. Mu Ruyun’s home really refreshed the outlook of all the city kids who lived in Pigeon House.
There are also two big black-backed wolfdogs in the yard. They are tied with iron chains. As soon as they see a stranger enter the yard, they start to circle around and bark.
"Two barbarians and three barbarians! Stop making trouble!" Dad Mu greeted, and the two dogs immediately fell silent.
Zhou Zhi and Yan Xiao looked at each other again, and both saw the schadenfreude in each other's eyes. What a shame, three brothers in the family...
Mother Mu is a simple local peasant woman with a beautiful appearance. She should have been very beautiful when she was young, but her accent was It was very heavy. When he heard the dog barking, he walked out of the kitchen and wiped his hands with his apron: "Are the classmates here? Come and sit in the hall!"
Zhou Zhi put down the pick: "Hello, aunt, pick the pick. It would be disrespectful to bring some bamboo shoots.”
"Hey, why are you so polite?" Mu's mother suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "How can this be so embarrassing!"
"Mom, he is so considerate!" Mu Ruyun introduced to his mother: "Our class writer."
"Auntie, can you? Don't listen to Daman's nonsense." Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hand: "I can't afford to be called that."
Mu Ruyun immediately looked at Zhou Zhi with resentment, thinking that your turtle ears are really worse. The two barbarians and the three barbarians worked fine, and you finally heard them just now.
"Daman deserves your good care in the city." Mu's mother said: "I heard that you were originally going to send him back, but he insisted on leaving first? This is ignorant."< br>
Zhou Zhi was overjoyed: "What's going on? Daman is our squad leader, and he usually takes care of us. Sending him back was actually just a joke, just to find an excuse to prevent Auntie from driving us back."
“How is that possible! It’s not even late to welcome him!”
The main room of Mu Ruyun’s house is also big. Zhou Zhi estimates that it is fifty or sixty square meters. There is also a large iron stove in the room, and now there is a large round tabletop. , surrounded by a large circle of stools.
There are also portraits of leaders at the bottom of the hall. From Marxism-Leninism to the present, they are divided into upper and lower generations.
The ancestral tablet is on the left wall of the main room, and family photos are placed in a large glass frame and hung on the right wall.
"Hurry up and sit down." Mu's father has already brought out the peanuts, melon seeds, chestnuts and pine nuts, as well as some candies: "Come on, come on, this journey is not short. I said I would arrange for a car from the forestry farm to pick you up. Da Man said you I don’t care about your tricks.”
“Dad Mu, your place has good feng shui.” Zhou Zhi asked, “I heard that this is the first student from Jiachuan to be admitted to Tsinghua University. "Yes! You still know about this?"
"Dad, he is the elbow!" Mu Ruyun retaliated and said, "My Deskmate."
"Ouch!" Dad Mu stood up and extended his hand to Zhou Zhi: "I want to shake this comrade's hand to express his literary talent!"
This sentence made all the students sitting around the table very amused.
Zhou Zhi stood up awkwardly and shook hands with Dad Mu: "Dad Mu, I don't know what Daman told you at home. It's just nonsense. Eighty percent of it is water. You can't Don’t believe anything.”
“But I am quite interested in the story of Kudingcha. Would you mind telling us about it?”
“This is just collecting materials, right?” Dad Mu had not jumped out of the logic that Zhou Zhi was a writer: “This is from our mountains. Great Glory, shall I tell you?”
Everyone nodded.
"This child's name is Ding Chao." Mu's father talked about these treasures: "Her mother was married from Hongshui County, Qianzhou. Her father died early, and she was a single woman with no relatives or relatives here. It was a long time ago. I won’t say it if I’m sad.”
“But it’s strange, this super kid has been good at reading since he was a child. Daman can be read in this movie, but compared with this super kid, it’s not enough!”
“But studying costs money. Especially if you are admitted to the county high school, you have to live in school, which makes the super-child mother very worried."
"How to deal with it! I saw that it was not a problem, and I was young and reckless at the time. I took courage and quietly built a tea factory. Chaowa’s mother can also come and work for her.”
“Chaowa is also sensible, so my mother-in-law picked Kuding tea from the mountains and brought it to me. After three years of high school, she just grinded it out. ”
"I heard that Chaowa was not even willing to buy vegetables at school. She only had white rice and pickled vegetable soup for free. There was also bean paste and douban that the family brought to school. It had some minced pheasant meat and diced pheasant in it. This was regarded as meat. "
"That's it!" Dad Mu looked over his face with pride and glory. With the palm of his hand, he tapped the joints of his index finger and ring finger twice on the large solid wood table: "I was admitted to Tsinghua University! Do you think I'm awesome?!"
"Awesome! "All the students nodded in unison. The highest-level university in the country is still a place they can't even imagine in their dreams.
“Because the family relied on Kudingcha for books, we in our area at that time called Chaowa’s mother ‘Kudingcha’. When Chaowa was in school, his classmates also called him ‘Kudingcha’ '."
At this point, Dad Mu suddenly slapped his thigh: "By the way, there will be a joke later on!"
"Uncle, what's the joke?"
"At that time, Chaowa was admitted to Tsinghua University, which was a big deal. We were the first in Jiachuan County!" Dad Mu said with a smile: "Although our small mountain has a high road It’s still a long way to go, but Secretary Xiubang still brought people over the mountains and ridges to congratulate Chaowa’s mother in person.”
“Where is Chaowa’s mother?” Having seen such a battle, I asked Secretary Xiubang, what is going on with my son? Isn’t it unreasonable to get into this school in Jiachuan?”
“Secretary Xiubang said, thank you for giving us Jiachuan. Producing the first Tsinghua University student is not only an honor for you, but also an honor for the people of our county! But... this school is not in Jiachuan.”
"Chaowa's mother asked, where is that?"
"Secretary Xiubang laughed and said that this school is in the capital of our country."
"Guess what happened to Chaowa's mother?" ? The super-baby mother burst into tears immediately, crying and scolding her - even if the baby is about to take the exam at Jiachuan Medical School! If you don’t go to Manzhou Forestry Technical School, you’ll be fine.”
“It’s such a bad luck that you have to go so far!”
“ Hahahaha..." All the friends laughed so hard that the whole room was full of laughter, causing the two and three barbarians outside to join in the fun.
But after laughing, they all realized the bitterness behind this story. Jiang Shuyi asked: "Uncle Mu, what about this Aunt Kudingcha and that big brother? What are their subsequent stories?"
"Later, Chaowa was studying in the third year of study. After studying in the country, he was assigned a job. It seems that he is in some ministry now."
"Anyway, after graduation, the country I let him stay in Beijing. I heard that a house was divided, and Chao Wa took his mother away."
At this point, Mu's father couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen him for many years. , I actually miss them a lot..."
"So I say Uncle Mu, you guys have a good feng shui." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Wen Xing Changyao's big picture!"
"Elbow, you are trying to coax your uncle!" Dad Mu laughed and said, "The mountains here are high and the roads are far away. The locals speak with a high tone, and those from outside sound weak."
"Then It's an old-fashioned tune." Zhou Zhi said: "There is really something wrong with this. You guys talk first, I have to find my aunt for help. "
"What's the matter?"
"There is an investigation report, I have to ask aunt for her opinion."
"Don't worry about it. !” Dad Mu was shocked: “Your aunt doesn’t know a few words, what advice can she give you?”
"Only an aunt can give her opinion on this serious matter." Zhou Zhi took out a thick notebook from his bag: "Uncle, you don't need to worry about me, I will help aunt light the fire!"
Feng Xueshan stood up and said, "Then let me help too." The pushing is done and the bacon is cooked. Let Daman take you to the forest farm to play, but remember not to run around. It would be a big mistake to get lost in the forest."
After that, he stood up: "I have to go and see what this elbow is going to do. Don't scare my mother-in-law..."
...
...
When Mu’s father came to the kitchen, he saw Mu’s mother making some bean curd with bile water. Zhou Zhi put out the fire there to avoid overturning the pot. At the same time, he took a notebook and pen and asked while writing: " Auntie, why do the words "eat the baby" and "eat the moon" both mean eating other people's things for nothing and taking advantage of them?"
Mother Mu smiled and said: "These are old sayings, eat the moon. Pregnancy means that in the old days, the wife of the family had a baby. In order to have a happy pregnancy, relatives and friends around you are invited to have a meal.”
“Eating moon cakes is actually the same thing. You should also invite babies when they are full moon, because after this day, the baby can go out. Seeing the sky, that’s why it’s called ‘eating the moon’.”
“Even if you are an outsider at this time, you will eat for nothing if you go to the master’s house!” >
"There is another one with the same words, eating Fuxi also means the same thing."
"Oh." Zhou Zhi recorded it seriously: "Then this 'selling mandarin duck' has become a day laborer again. What do you mean by odd jobs?”
Mother Mu couldn’t stop laughing. "The mud basket is the mud basket used for picking mud!"
"What is the mud basket?"
"The mud basket is almost the same as a dust basket, but there are two more long ones on it. The bamboo bends are tied together and can be carried on a pole. ”
“Oh, come to think of it, I’ve seen this thing at Monk Yang’s house!” Help everyone and earn some money by selling your efforts.”
“To say that working as a coolie is a bit of a dirty job, so everyone calls it ‘working as a mandarin’, which sounds better!”
“By the way, this ‘dirty team’ is embarrassing. What do you mean?" Zhou Zhi immediately caught a word.
