Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 815
Mu Bao has been away for half a year. During the half year, apart from calling his family several times to ask for living expenses, he seldom mentioned anything else on the phone.

Lao Mu sometimes feels lonely when he thinks about it. When the three children left home, Lao Mu knew that they all had their own affairs, so it was inconvenient to disturb them. Except for Mu Yan, who married not far from home, the three children often went home to have a look. , the two sons seem to have nothing in common with their parents. Even if they call, Mu Zhen just greets them, says a few words, and then hangs up the phone. Mu Bao is even simpler. Money to buy clothes or daily necessities, Lao Mu wanted to chat with them about family matters, but his two sons didn't give him a chance at all.

Now that Mu Bao is going home for the New Year, it is a good opportunity for father and son to communicate.

When Xiuhua brought the meal to the table, Lao Mu took out a bottle of local wine that had been shelved for a year, unscrewed the bottle cap and said, "You have been away for half a year, and you are usually busy with school and study, so you don't have time to communicate. When you come back today for the holidays, let's The two of you drank and chatted!"

"Our tutor arranges the study very tightly. Usually, we leave this and that, so we don't care about it. If my brother hadn't persuaded me to come back during the holidays, I wouldn't have planned to come back." Mu Bao said.

"You haven't lived alone yet, and you don't go home for the holidays?" Old Mu asked a little desolately.

"The teacher's experiment is inseparable from people in the festival!" Mu Bao replied.

Old Mu didn't understand Mu Bao's experiment, and didn't want to ask, so he asked, "Is there something important for your brother to ask you to come back?"

"I heard that he has returned to the village to serve as the vice president of some company. I don't think it's a big deal if I come back to celebrate the reunion year together?" Mu Bao said casually.

"What else did he tell you?" Old Mu asked.

"I didn't say anything!" Mu Bao was a little at a loss when he heard Lao Mu's question.

"Although your brother didn't come back to work for a long time, he has been recognized by the whole village!" Lao Mu then told Mu Baoting about Mu Zhen's work in the feed factory.

After Lao Mu finished speaking, Mu Bao replied: "It's really not easy for my brother. After all these years, I finally found his place!"

"What do you think of your brother's return?" Lao Mu asked.

"It's normal for my brother to come back. Now the country's policies to benefit the people are increasing day by day. Many national policies are tilting towards the countryside. The future of the countryside will be a big world. The country is now paying attention to the development of the countryside. The future of the countryside will definitely be There is a lot to be done, especially college student village officials also report it in newspapers from time to time, in political terms, this is down to earth!" Mu Bao said happily.

"Hey, you're right, your brother will be the first college student village official in our village!" Lao Mu patted his thigh and said.

"That's good! The subject I'm studying now is related to the countryside, especially the breeding project we are doing now, which is inseparable from the countryside. Didn't my brother mention this to you?" Mu Bao asked.

"You two brothers, why do you still have me in your eyes?" Lao Mu said after drinking a cup of wine.

"Brother, you are right, we have you in our hearts! Although we don't talk to you much on the phone, when we brothers talk, we always mention you and my mother, saying that you are doing well at home. The changes in the village are so great, and life is so good. Besides, you still have a pension after retirement, which is one of the best compared to other villagers! In the current good times, you have no worries about food and clothing, and it is your greatest happiness that we don’t cause you any trouble. !" Mu Bao's words made Old Mu smile.

"It's really yours, why bother? What trouble can I cause?" Old Mu asked back.

"There's no trouble, it's just that when my brother comes back, I'm worried that you won't be able to get over the hurdle!" Mu Bao reminded.

"As you would say, I can't pass the hurdle. Now I have figured it out. No matter how much I read, it is really good to learn knowledge. Apply the knowledge I have learned to work and bring benefits to everyone. It is the greatest good. Your brother came back this time, helped the village solve the problem, and won the support of the villagers. This is good. There is nothing better than this. Nothing more meaningful than working for the welfare of our village!" Lao Mu said with great joy.

Mu Bao stared at Lao Mu with a strange look. At this time, Mu Bao really didn't understand when the father in front of him became so noble. Originally, he only wanted to train the child to be a city man who jumped out of Xiaowangzhuang. Speaking so realistically and philosophically, did the old man really figure it out, or did Mu Zhen get confused by what he did?

"Big, do you really think so?"

"Did I tell a lie in front of you?"

"With your words, I feel relieved for my brother! He called me a few days ago and told me that he was afraid that you would feel pressure for him, and that although you accepted him to go back to the countryside on the surface, in fact, you would not be able to get through the hurdles in your heart. Give you Trouble, if you really think this way now, it will be my brother's blessing and our whole family's blessing. After dinner, go to the county town to meet my brother, tell him what you said, and let him continue to work in the village with confidence and boldness! " Mu Bao happily replied.

"It turns out that you two brothers have kept me in the dark for a long time, and have been hiding things from me!"

"It's not hiding it from you, it's because I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, that you won't be able to think about it, and you'll get sick from boredom. The gain outweighs the loss!" Mu Bao said bluntly.

"Could it be that if you hide it from me like this, you won't be afraid of getting sick?" Old Mu asked.

"My brother said that when he leads everyone on a bright road, he will explain to you that before he comes back, he has his own ideas and plans. He wants to realize his ambition and use the resources he has accumulated for so many years abroad Use them all to pave the way for the development of our village. When my brother told me at the time, I supported it with both hands. Now that my brother comes back, he pretends not to be himself. He is following the example of Uncle Tiancheng and is willing to be a bully for the villagers. !" Mu Bao sat up straight, and spoke this passage with emotion, as if he was giving a passionate speech.

Old Mu did not expect Mu Zhen to have such a plan, nor did he think that even though Mu Bao in front of him had not stepped out of the school, he had already stood taller and seen farther than himself. The world is full of peaches and plums, but they are also worthy of this village, and even more worthy of this family. The children are successful in their studies, and they don't think about themselves, but about the happiness of others. What else can I say?The ancients had family precepts, and my ancestors did not leave any family precepts, but isn't the speech of the two sons now better than the best family precepts in history?
After giving a speech for a while, Mu Bao looked at Lao Mu who was staring at him blankly, thinking that something was wrong, and stood there a little at a loss.

"Say, keep talking!" Old Mu's encouraging tone made Mu Bao relieved.

"It's over, I've said all I want to say!" Mu Bao added.

"Then I'll tell you the truth!" Old Mu stared at Mu Bao and said solemnly.

"Speak!" Mu Bao felt that Lao Mu was influenced by him to start a long speech, so he straightened his body and waited to listen.

"Just one sentence, this sentence is: I fully support you!" After Lao Mu finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"It's over?" Mu Bao asked.

"It's over! Is this not enough?" Lao Mu put down his glass and replied.

"Enough, enough, this is enough, we all wish you and my mother a long and healthy life, and share every bit of happy life in the future!" Mu Bao said happily.

"After all these years, we've finally made it through, and it's worth it!" Xiuhua, who came in with a meal, said.

"Cheers to your health and longevity!" Mu Bao picked up the wine glass, poured the wine from his father's wine glass into his own glass, then handed the remaining half of the wine glass to Lao Mu, and touched his father's wine glass. He poured the wine from his glass into his mouth.

This refreshing action made Xiuhua laugh, and Lao Mu looked at Mu Bao with a glass of wine, and laughed too. Mu Bao swallowed the wine, looked at his parents smiling happily, and laughed foolishly...
