Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 109 Investigation
Old Mu's house is behind the management office, and when he saw the red brick courtyard wall, Zhou Zhi couldn't help sighing, "My...it's really an acre and a half..."

This is a super large yard. In addition to a large three-story wooden building at the bottom, there are two small factory buildings on both sides.

On one side is a furniture processing factory, on the other side is a tea factory.

Everyone was shocked by the big yard, Mu Ruyun's house really refreshed the three views of all the children in the city who lived in the Pigeon House.

There are also two big black-backed wolfhounds in the yard, which are tied with iron chains, and when they see strangers entering the yard, they start circling around and barking wildly.

"Two savages and three savages! Don't make trouble!" Papa Mu greeted, and the two dogs immediately fell silent.

Zhou Zhi and Yan Xiao looked at each other again, and they both saw the gloating in each other's eyes, this damn, a family of three brothers...

Mother Mu is a simple local peasant woman. She should have been very beautiful when she was young, but she has a strong accent. When she heard the dog barking, she came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands with her apron: "All the students are here? Come sit in the hall." !"

Zhou Zhi put the picker down: "Hello, Auntie, I brought some green bamboo shoots here, it's not a respect."

"Oh, why are you being so polite?" Mother Mu felt a little embarrassed: "How embarrassing!"

"Mom, he is Zhou Zhi!" Mu Ruyun introduced to his mother: "The writer in our class."

"Auntie, don't listen to the barbaric nonsense." Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hands: "I can't afford to be called that at my level."

Mu Ruyun immediately looked at Zhou Zhi full of resentment, thinking that your turtle's ears are really better than those of the two barbarians and the three barbarians, and you still heard it just now.

"Da Man has received a lot of care from you in the city." Mother Mu said, "I heard that you were going to send him back, but he insisted on leaving first? That's ignorant."

Zhou Zhi was overjoyed: "Where is it? Daman is our monitor, and he usually takes care of us. Sending him back is actually just a joke. Find an excuse to make it difficult for auntie to drive us back."

"How is that possible! It's too late to welcome!"

The main room of Mu Ruyun's house is also big, Zhou Zhi reckons it is fifty or sixty square meters, and there is a big iron stove in the room, and now there is a big round table top, surrounded by a large circle of stools.

The portraits of the leaders are pasted on the bottom of the main room, from Marxism to the present, and they are divided according to generation.

The ancestral tablet is on the left wall of the main room, and the family photos are placed in a large glass frame and hung on the right wall.

"Hurry up and sit down quickly." Father Mu has already brought out peanuts, melon seeds, chestnuts and pine nuts, as well as some candies: "Come on, this journey is not short, I said to arrange a car from the forestry farm to pick you up, Da Man said you If you have your own way of playing, let me leave it alone."

"Father Mu, you have good Fengshui here." Zhou Zhi asked, "I heard that the first student in Jiachuan to be admitted to Tsinghua University is from this area?"

"Yes! You still know about this?"

"Dad, he's the elbow!" Mu Ruyun retaliated by not reporting Zhou Zhi's name: "My tablemate."

"Ouch!" Papa Mu stood up, and stretched out his hand to Zhou Zhi: "This comrade writer's hand should be shaken, it's a good read!"

One sentence amused all the students sitting around the table.

Zhou Zhi stood up in embarrassment and shook hands with Papa Mu: "Papa Mu, I don't know what Daman told you at home. It's just nonsense, 80.00% is water, don't believe me."

"However, I am very interested in the story of 'Kudingcha'. Would you please tell us about it?"

"This is collecting materials, isn't it?" Father Mu hasn't jumped out of the logical thinking that Zhou Zhi is a writer: "This is the great glory of our hills, so let me tell you about it?"

Everyone nodded.

"This child, his name is Ding Chao." Mu's father talked about all these things: "Her mother was married from Hongshui County, Qianzhou, and her father died early. A single woman here has no relatives and no reason. Those days are too many." I won’t talk about being sad.”

"But it's strange. This super baby is good at reading since she was a child. Daman can be read in this film, but compared with this super baby, it's not enough!"

"But studying requires money, especially if you are admitted to the county high school, you have to live on campus, which makes Chaowa's mother very worried."

"What's wrong?! I saw that it was not a problem. I was young and reckless at the time, so I boldly set up a tea factory quietly, and Chaowa's mother can come to make a living."

"Chaowa is also sensible. My mother and I picked Kudingcha from the mountains and sent it to me. After three years of high school, it was just like this."

"I heard that Chaowa was not willing to buy vegetables at school. The white rice was free pickle soup, and the bean paste bean paste that the family took to school. There was a bit of minced wild pork and pheasant in it. This is considered meat. "

"That's it!" With pride and glory on his face, Mu's father turned over his thick-boned palm, took the joints of his index finger and ring finger, and tapped twice on the big solid wood table: "I just got admitted to Tsinghua University!" Already! You say, is it bullish or not?!"

"Bull!" All the students nodded unanimously. The highest-level university in the country is still a place they can't even dream of.

"Because the family relied on Kudingcha for their books, at that time we all called Chaowa's mother 'Kudingcha'. Chaowa was at school, and his classmates also called him 'Kudingcha'."

Speaking of this, Mu's father suddenly slapped his thigh: "By the way, there is a joke about this later!"

"Uncle, what joke?"

"At that time, Chaowa was admitted to Tsinghua University, which was a great event, and we were the first in Jiachuan County!"

Mu's father smiled and said, "Although our small corner is far away and the road is difficult to walk, Secretary Xiubang still brought people over the mountains and mountains to congratulate Chaowa's mother in person."

"Where did Chaowa's mother see such a battle? She asked Secretary Xiubang, what happened to my family, and the school I was admitted to was too many in Jiachuan?"

"Secretary Xiubang said, thank you for training the first Tsinghua University student in Jiachuan. This is not only your glory, but also the glory of the people of our county! But... this school is not in Jiachuan."

"Mom Chaowa 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? Chaowa's mother immediately burst into tears, crying and cursing-this time baby is in the exam! Even if Jiachuan Medical School fails, Manzhou Forestry Technical School will not pass the exam." It's almost over."

"It's just bad luck, that's why we went so far away?!"

"Hahahaha..." All the friends were laughing up and down, the laughter that filled the room made the two barbarians and the three barbarians outside barking along to join in the fun.

But after laughing, they all felt the bitterness behind this story, Jiang Shuyi asked: "Uncle Mu, what about this 'Kudingcha' aunt, and that big brother, what happened to them afterwards?"

"Later, Chaowa was studying in the third year, and after finishing her studies, she was assigned a job in the country. It seems that she is in some ministry now."

"Anyway, the country gave him a stay in Beijing after graduation. I heard that the house was allocated, so Chaowa took his mother away."

Speaking of this, Mu's father couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a long time since I saw them, but I actually miss them..."

"That's why I said Uncle Mu, you have good Fengshui in this area." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Wen Xingchangyao's big picture!"

"Elbow, you are coaxing your uncle!" Dad Mu laughed and said, "Our place is high and the road is far away, and the locals speak in a straight-forward manner, and people from outside seem to be useless."

"That's an old tune." Zhou Zhi said, "Speaking of which, there's really something to do. You guys talk first. I have to ask Auntie for help."

"What's the matter?"

"There is an investigation report, I have to ask my aunt for her opinion."

"Elbow, don't make such a mess!" Dad Mu was shocked: "Your aunt doesn't know a few words, what advice can she give you?"

"Auntie can only give an opinion on this matter." Zhou Zhi took out a thick notebook from his bag: "Uncle, don't worry about me, I'll help Auntie light the fire by the way!"

Feng Xueshan stood up: "Then I will help too."

"No need, no need." Father Mu said, "The bean curd is ready, and the bacon is ready to cook. Let Daman take you to the forest farm to have fun, but remember not to go out and run around. It's a big deal to get lost in the forest."

After speaking, he stood up: "I have to go and see what this elbow is going to do, don't scare my wife..."

……

……

When Mu's father came to the kitchen, he saw Mu's mother ordering bean curd with gallbladder water. Zhou Zhi extinguished the fire there so as not to overturn the pot. He took a notebook and a pen at the same time and asked while writing, "Auntie, why is this 'eating safe'?" "Fetal" and "eating moon white" both mean to eat other people's things for free, so what does it mean to take advantage of it?"

Mother Mu smiled and said: "These are old sayings. Eating safe pregnancy means that in the old days, the daughter-in-law of the family had a happy event. In order to have a safe pregnancy, she would like to please her. Invite relatives, friends and neighbors around to have a meal."

"Eating moon white is actually the same principle. Babies are also invited after the full moon. Because after this day, babies can go out to see the sky, so it is called 'eating moon white'."

"At this time, even if you are an outsider, going to the Lord's house is nothing! That's why I used this to express my meaning later."

"There is one more thing about the same thing, eating Huxi, that's what it means."

"Oh." Zhou Zhi wrote it down seriously: "Then 'selling clay ducks', why does it mean part-time work again?"

Mu's mother couldn't help laughing: "A mud sieve is a sieve for picking mud!"

"What is a 箢篼?"

"The 箢篼 is similar to the dustpan, but there are two long bamboo bends tied together on it, so you can carry it with a pole."

"Ah, I want to come, this thing has been seen at Monk Yang's house!"

"Every family in Batou, Dongxi Township, has it. Where there is a way to live in dam fields, digging mud, and building houses, you can go to the master's house to help and sell some strength to earn some money."

"It's a dirty word to say that you work hard, so everyone calls it 'selling clay ducks', which sounds better!"

"By the way, this 'dirty team', what does it mean to be ashamed?" Zhou Zhi immediately caught a word.
