Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 263
Tomorrow is the last day of the lunar year—New Year’s Eve, and as soon as the East is red, the hardworking people in the village play a symphony of pots and pans.

"咚咚咚", "咔咔咚", "唰唰唰唰"...

Mixed with the sound of firecrackers lit by children who got up early, a folk Spring Festival ensemble sounded in the small village.

Because of Mu Zhen's affairs, Lao Mu tossed and turned at night. From time to time, he raised a question in his mind-how to solve the problem of Wang Qiang's hostility. Although he thought of some plans, he was pushed to translate by himself from time to time. At one o'clock, he closed his eyes drowsily, in a daze, and still couldn't get rid of the things he thought about before going to bed.

In the early morning, when Xiuhua woke up quietly, and was about to clean the kitchen that had been blackened by cooking smoke for a year, Lao Mu also woke up, got up, rolled out his bicycle, and said to Xiuhua, "I'll go to our girl's place today to see Has Daan come back, I haven't seen him for a long time, I really want to talk to him!"

"The fruits I bought to visit relatives a few days ago are all in the steamed bun basket, carry six catties, and then you go to the town to buy some apples you like!" Xiuhua said while wearing the apron made of old coarse cloth .

Lao Mu's heart has long been off the matter of visiting relatives during the festival. After being reminded by Xiuhua, he realized that the festival is coming soon and there is no time to visit relatives. Today he happened to bring his things there.So I put the bicycle in the yard, went to the house to find a black bag, and took off the bun basket. There were three or four stacks of packaged pastries neatly stacked in the bun basket, and each packaged pastry was covered with a rectangular sheet. On the red paper, the words "exquisite pastry" are marked on the red paper, and the manufacturer is also marked below.This is the gift that Xiuhua mentioned for visiting relatives.

Old Mu carefully took out the six packs from above, put them into the bag, and then hung the steamed bun basket on the wooden hook. Xiuhua greeted: "I'm going. If Da'an doesn't come back, I'll come back for breakfast. If I come back, I may come back later!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Mu pushed his bicycle out the door and rode towards Liu Village. He was anxious to get things done, and he had long forgotten about Xiuhua's confession to buy apples.

There is a difference between people who are concerned and those who are not. For Lao Mu, although he was not riding very fast today, because he was thinking about problems in his mind, he hadn't noticed the change of time and the transfer of space. At the entrance of the village, although the sun has climbed out of Dongshan, the streets of Liu Village are still a little deserted. Like Xiaowangzhuang, everyone is also performing a lively Spring Festival symphony at home.

When Lao Mu walked into Da'an's house, he heard a voice coaxing children that he hadn't heard for a long time. Lao Mu concluded that Da'an must be at home, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"Brother, are you here from home?" Mu Weihong, who walked out of the main room, greeted Lao Mu who came in.

"I've been too busy these days, so I haven't had time to see my girl. I have some free time today, so I made a special trip to see her!" Lao Mu responded as he took off his schoolbag from the handlebar.

The conversation between Wei Hong and Lao Mu immediately attracted Daan, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen and holding the baby in the garret room, and they walked out of the house one after another to say hello to Lao Mu.

"What a coincidence, just now Da'an was still talking about you!" Aunt Mu smiled at the old Mu who had just taken off her schoolbag.

Before Lao Mu could reply, he heard Daan standing at the door politely say to him: "Brother, don't tell me, I'm really busy with work these days, and I haven't been able to get out to go home and rest. I just have a rest. I came back in a hurry, and left before my butt was warmed up on the bench, so I didn't have time to see you during this period!"

"Look, I've missed you these days too, when did you come back?" Old Mu asked Da'an.

"I just got home last night, and I have to go back tomorrow. During the Spring Festival, our unit has to be on duty, so I will go back to the unit after staying at home for a day." After Daan finished speaking, he turned back to the house, handed the child to Huiqin, and left He came out and asked Lao Mu to sit down in the main room.

Lao Mu felt that he didn't need to be so polite when speaking to Da'an in front of him, so he cut to the chase and said, "These days, the house building at home is very busy, and I am involved in the education reform work, so I really don't have time, but today at home When I meet you, I really have something to trouble you!"

"It's all our own business, so there's no need for trouble!" Da'an felt that the cousin in front of him was really too polite. If it wasn't for this cousin who helped him back then, maybe he wouldn't have been admitted to school, let alone There are decent jobs for this now.

So Lao Mu recounted to Da'an what happened to Mu Zhen yesterday.

After hearing this, Daan frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said some embarrassing words...
