Mu Chen

80. Hometown

The dinner was very sumptuous, the big round table was very full, but the staple food was a bowl of noodles.

Lin Lan was very emotional all afternoon, and tears fell when she saw such a bowl of noodles, "It was the best when my mother was around, and we all love noodles, but there was less food then. I can’t get enough to eat. My mother always said, ‘When you go out, you can eat dumplings’, and she also said that after we get married, we will make noodles for us when we get home, so we can eat enough. Now that we’re back, Mom…”

The grandfather and uncle of the Lin family are not good at words, this meeting is both sad and anxious, and I don't know how to persuade them.

It was Yu Yong who interrupted, "Mom, why are you crying again? My grandma is gone, but my aunt also let you eat it, and she made so many dishes, everyone can't eat it when you cry, but I I’ve been hungry for half a day and just waited for this bite.”

My aunt was also busy comforting her, "That's right, Xiaolan, I'll make you whatever you want to eat, so don't cry when we get home."

After everyone tried to comfort her, Lin Lan finally calmed down and picked up the chopsticks. After eating a few mouthfuls, she said, "This noodle is really good. It tastes like the one we ate when we were young."

Lin Hong also said, "It's still delicious from our hometown, my sister-in-law is good at cooking, brother, you are really lucky."

Uncle Lin’s family was able to get rid of poverty by planting Chinese medicinal materials in the early years due to the poor conditions for superbirth.Now her daughter is married, and her son Lin Hui is about to take the college entrance examination this year, and his grades are not bad, but when Yu Yong said that Mu Chen is a combined undergraduate and master's student in D University, he immediately showed star eyes to see a top student.

Mu Chen saw that Yu Yong praised him as the number one scholar, so he hurriedly explained that he didn't pass the undergraduate and master classes in the college entrance examination back then, and he was a graduate student in the postgraduate entrance examination.

But the family still treats him like a Wenqu star. Aunt Lin also asked him to tell his son about the college entrance examination, what major to apply for, and which one is easy to find a job in the future...

Mu Chen glared at Shi Zuoyong who was smiling like a flower, so he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks.

First, he seriously said that he had graduated for many years, and he had nothing to say about children's college entrance examinations. Then he told Lin Hui about the current popular majors and his views.

Mu Chen loves to read books, read newspapers and surf the Internet. He cares about current affairs, and has been in touch with Gu Ning and Ding Bowen who live in big cities. Now his views are well-founded and his suggestions are very pertinent.

Lin Hui listened so much that he didn't even have time to eat, so he jumped up and wanted to take a pen to write it down. It was Yu Yong who pulled him to the chair and said, "Eat well, and let my brother stroke it for you tonight."

Lin Hui smiled embarrassedly, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin also looked at Mu Chen gratefully, "It's good to read this book, you know a lot, Xiao Hui, you have to learn from your brother Mu."

From this day on, Lin Hui became Mu Chen's little fan. He followed Mu Chen wherever he went, and the questions in his mouth never stopped. The content was also varied, such as school, courses, games, teachers, current events, classics, human nature, gossip. ...

Fortunately, Mu Chen is really knowledgeable and has a wide range of knowledge, so he was not overwhelmed by the question, but in this way, Lin Hui became even more star-eyed, and Yu Yong was very depressed.

Fortunately, Gou was very busy in the third year of high school, so he only stayed at home for one day, and went back to school to make up lessons on Sunday.Looking at Yu Yong's breathless expression, Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh.

The next two days went to Lin Xia and Lin Li's house respectively, because Lin Xia was especially enthusiastic about taking care of Zhou Hua and Song Min.

Originally, Mu Chen didn't want to follow these relatives. On the one hand, he didn't know him, and on the other hand, everyone was grateful and curious about him. The elderly people in the village didn't have any taboos, and they just asked all kinds of questions:

Is this car expensive?The young man is doing a good job, isn't he too young?Are you married yet?Why are you not married yet?Is there an object?The salary is high, right?There are medical representatives, right?Is the drug commission really higher than the salary?Generally, the family members of the operation will give red envelopes... plus the wine is much respected, he worked very hard.

It’s just that his car is the main means of travel. Uncle Lin’s family only has motorcycles, so it’s inconvenient to carry Lin Lan. Originally, he wanted to rest at home or go to the surrounding attractions, but he was defeated by Aunt Lin’s enthusiasm. .

Yu Yong also knew that he was not used to it, but his uncles and aunts were all with them, so it was impossible to leave his brother alone, and he was not willing to let him go to play by himself.

Seeing his troubled look, Mu Chen smiled, "It's okay, they didn't mean anything malicious, they were just curious."

Yu Yong, "How about, brother, you say you drive, and I drink wine."

Mu Chen, "You don't want to drink, it's okay, I'll get angry when I drink it, and I can't drink much."

Before the break on Sunday night, Muchen checked Lin Lan's blood pressure while confirming the next day's itinerary with her.

According to their plan before they came, they were going to go to Yunshan Mountain, but Lin Lan has been agitated for the past two or three days. Although he will measure his blood pressure sooner or later and watch him take medicine, now he has to check again to see if she is still there. Spirit to play.

Lin Lan was really tired, she looked at Lin Hong with some hesitation, "Why don't we go, my brother said today that my uncle always asks us, why don't we go to my uncle's house tomorrow?"

Yu Yong was a little impatient when he heard that, "Mom, it's boring for my brother to follow us to change relatives every day. Didn't we agree a long time ago? Why did you change your mind?"

Lin Lan was a little unhappy, "I come back every ten years, so I have to see all my relatives. If I don't see them, who knows if I will see them again in the future? You just know how to play."

Mu Chen, "Xiaoyong, Aunt Lin's blood pressure has been a little high for the past two days, so she won't go if you don't go to the scenic spots. But Aunt Lin, don't get too excited, or you can rest at home for a day tomorrow, and then go to Uncle Xiaoyong's grandpa's house the day after tomorrow Bar."

Lin Lan looked at Lin Hong again, "Is that okay? Sister."

Lin Hong was really tired these two days.Although Uncle Lin's house has built a new house and a new yard, and has running water, there is no water in the house, and the toilet is an old-fashioned dry toilet.

Although Mu Chen was careful and brought a folding chair, the convenience of life couldn't be compared with City Y.There, Lin Lan can basically take care of herself when eating and going to the toilet. Although she has the courage to carry around here, she must take care of washing and going to the toilet.Hearing this, he also nodded, "Then listen to you, it doesn't matter whether we play or not, it mainly depends on you."

Lin Lan smiled, she felt very happy.

After she fell asleep, Yu Yong and Muchen went to the bathroom with the thermos bottle, rinsed briefly and then returned to the room.After Mu Chen went to bed, he leaned against the head of the bed to read a book, Yu Yong got into his quilt and locked him with long arms and legs.

Seeing his sullen look, Mu Chen couldn't help laughing, pulled him into his arms and smoothed his hair, "Don't be sullen, this trip is just for Aunt Lin to have a good time, I'll take a vacation when I get back, let's go see Uncle Cheng together .”

Yu Yong raised his head, "Really?"

Muchen smiled, "Of course it's true. I've already applied for a leave of absence in April. There are five days in total. We even have nine days for two weekends. Of course, we may not be able to make it, and we have to transfer shifts. Anyway, we can have at least seven days." .We fly back and forth, without wasting time, we can stay there for a few days."

Yu Yong hesitated, "Then, Uncle Cheng"

Muchen rubbed the dog's head, "I just wanted to talk to Uncle Cheng when I went this time, and since it's been decided, I should tell him. Only Senior Brother Gu and Brother Bowen know about our affairs now. But Uncle Cheng is the only one I have. I am an elder, so I must tell him about it."

Yu Yong's eyes lit up, "Brother, is it true? Will Uncle Cheng agree? You won't regret it if he disagrees, right? Let's make an agreement first, no matter what others say, you can't let me go."

Mu Chen saw that he was obviously very happy but made a sad face on purpose, so he couldn't help but pull him over and kiss him lightly on the forehead, "Silly boy."

His answer was a passionate kiss.

After a while, Mu Chen pressed the hand that was wandering on his body, "Don't make trouble, it's inconvenient."

Yu Yong stopped and buried his head on the side of his neck. After a long time, the sound of panting subsided, but he hugged him even tighter, "Thank you, brother."

Muchen didn't make a sound, just stroked the boy's back lightly.

In the next few days, except for a few relatives who walked around, Lin Lan stayed at home with her old father.The old father was taciturn and often had nothing to say, just smiling and listening to their sisters.

The time is fast, on March 23, Friday, my aunt made dumplings early in the morning, stuffed with pork and chives, very fragrant.

Lin Lan took a bite and her eyes were red again, "My mother used to say, 'Uncles and sisters who can't be kissed, pork and leeks are not delicious', these dumplings can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Mom is reluctant to eat them every time, so I order some noodles A slice of soup."

Everyone was speechless for a while, and Yu Yong said, "Mom, don't think about those unhappy things all the time. Uncle and aunt are busy early in the morning. Don't they want to make you happy?"

Aunt Lin quickly answered, "Yeah, Xiaolan, don't think about it all the time, life is better now, take good care of your body, and then come back to see Dad. When Xiaohui is admitted to university this year, you and I Brother can also visit you, always see you."

Everyone talked about the hopeful meeting, and the atmosphere gradually improved.

Mu Chen stayed on the sidelines and didn't interrupt. Now he finished eating first, got up and put the things in the car.

In addition to their luggage, Uncle Lin also packed [-] catties of American ginseng, which was grown by himself, and two big bags filled with compacted cotton, which was also last year's new cotton, which weighed dozens of catties.

Muchen made tea with a water cup, saw that the Lin sisters were still in the bathroom, and filled their water cups again.Lin's dumplings are delicious, but a bit salty. In fact, it's not just dumplings. Because they eat light food all year round, they feel salty these days.

Yu Yong was still driving the return trip, and he insisted on letting Mu Chen sleep for a while.

Mu Chen went to work tomorrow, originally Yu Yong wanted to come back a day early so that his brother could rest at home for a day, but Mu Chen stopped him, after all Lin Lan's going home is not easy, and as long as he sleeps well the night before, there is no problem .

Mu Chen originally proposed that he fly back to work first, leave the car and let Yu Yong take the elder sister and stay for a few more days, but Yu Yong was reluctant, and Lin Hong also felt that it was too inconvenient to wash and go to the bathroom, so she gave up
