Deep green plum routine

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhenhui took the sleepy Gu Mian to Zhang Suqin's house.

Zhang Suqin was making breakfast, and greeted them warmly when she saw them: "Zhenhui, Mianmian, good morning. Have you had breakfast? Let's eat at my house."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang, we've eaten." Xiao Zhenhui pushed Gu Mian in front of Zhang Suqin, a little embarrassed, "Aunt Zhang, I actually came to trouble you with something."

Zhang Suqin wiped her hands on the apron and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. Mianmian will start school soon. She hasn't even read the junior high school textbooks I borrowed from her. You also know that I have to go to work and I can't control her, so I want you to read it for me. Let her go, I don't know if it's convenient for you."

"Hey, what's the inconvenience?" Zhang Suqin pulled Gu Mian to her side, "You can safely leave Mianmian to me, I promise to take good care of her."

Xiao Zhenhui thanked her repeatedly, and explained a few words to Gu Mian before leaving in a hurry.

Not long after Xiao Zhenhui left, Mu Jin came down from upstairs.She changed into a long white dress, her hair was draped casually behind her, and she looked even more immortal.

Gu Mian, who was wearing men's style and unglued sandals, stood up from the sofa with a "huh", and greeted her cautiously: "Xiaojin, good morning."

Mu Jin glanced at her and replied, "Hello".

Mu Jin's tone was cold and perfunctory.But to Gu Mian's ears who had no expectation of getting a response, it became extremely pleasant.

Gu Mian got excited, and immediately forgot Xiao Zhenhui's instructions: "I'm coming to Grandma Zhang's house to read, do you want to come together?"

Mu Jin was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

Gu Mian received great encouragement, her eyes sparkled: "Then you should have breakfast first, and we will watch together after you eat."

The two were talking when Zhang Suqin came out from the kitchen.Seeing Mu Jin, she greeted, "Xiao Jin is up, go wash up first, and come over to eat after washing up."

Mu Jin let out a "hmm" and walked towards the bathroom.

After Mu Jin left, Zhang Suqin walked up to Gu Mian, and whispered, "Mianmian, Xiao Jin is in a bad mood these days, and she doesn't think much about what she says or does. She has done something wrong. Grandma apologizes to you on her behalf. I hope you don't take it to heart."

"No, no, grandma Zhang, don't say that..." When did Gu Mian be so solemnly apologized by her elders that she couldn't speak fluently, "I know Xiao Jin is in a bad mood, so I won't take it to heart. Actually I also did something bad yesterday, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future.”

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't mind, grandma is afraid that you will have lumps in your heart."

Gu Mian glanced in the direction of the bathroom, thinking: Mu Jin is so pitiful, no matter how big the pimples are, they should disappear.

Although Gu Mian had already had breakfast, she still ate another steamed stuffed bun under Zhang Suqin's warm greeting.

After dinner, Gu Mian wanted to help clean up the dishes, but was rejected by Zhang Suqin: "You go upstairs to read, and I will clean up here. By the way, there is an air conditioner upstairs, so turn on the air conditioner if you are hot."

Gu Mian said hello, then turned to look at Mu Jin: "Xiao Jin, shall we go upstairs now?"

Mu Jin nodded, and led Gu Mian upstairs.

Neighboring for so many years, the number of times Gu Mian went to the second floor of Zhang Suqin's house is very few. Zhang Suqin lives alone, eats and sleeps downstairs, and the second floor is basically unoccupied.

The second floor of Zhang Suqin’s home is well decorated, with whitewashed walls, floor tiles, a toilet with bathroom function, and complete furniture. It looks no different from a house in the city.

Gu Mian couldn't understand her Grandma Zhang, why should such a good house be used to collect dust?

The building of Zhang Suqin's house was built by her deceased son Mu Yongnan.As the only college student in Changle Village, Mu Yongnan can be said to be up-to-date.After graduating from university, he stayed in city B alone. After working for a year, he returned home and built such a beautiful two-story western-style building.

At that time, this incident caused quite a stir in Changle Village. In that era when it was difficult to have enough food, there were few bungalows in the village, let alone such a luxurious small western-style building.

Everyone said that Mu Yongnan was capable and promising.He also said that after so many years of exhaustion, Zhang Suqin could finally enjoy the blessings.

There are many people who praise Mu Yongnan, but few sincerely.More people, what they say is envy, what they hide is jealousy.

Later, Mu Yongnan married a wife in City B, the daughter of a wealthy family, the one with a big company in his family, with assets worth hundreds of millions.

This time, the village exploded even more.These people have lived in the small Yangliu Town all their lives, and they have never even seen a millionaire, let alone a multi-millionaire.Even in the entire T county, there are not a few people with assets worth hundreds of millions!

For a while, there were many more people in the village who got close to Zhang Suqin.The village party secretary and the mayor also came to talk about daily life, and they wanted Mu Yongnan to make some contributions to his hometown.

Mu Yongnan is not a person who forgets his roots. He donated money to build a teaching building for the middle school in the town and built a road for the village.As for those who try to curry favor with his unconnected relatives, he avoided them all.

Mu Yongnan has developed, but he does not bring the people in the village along with him.Gradually, everyone went from flattering to jealous, and all kinds of rumors came out.

At that time, the most popular saying was that Mu Yongnan ate soft food and relied on his wife to support him.

When Gu Mian was young, she once heard Aunt Wang in the village say strangely: "What's the use of reading too much? You're not just a softie! I'll do it for you by pretending to be rich as a woman." He is ashamed. He forgets his roots as soon as he has money, and he doesn't even recognize his own mother. He thinks that building a house is filial piety? If he really wants to, why doesn't he take his mother to live in City B? Let me tell you, this soft I just can’t eat. If I eat too much, I lose my conscience.”

At that time Gu Mian was with Zhang Suqin, she was not sensible at that time, she took Zhang Suqin's hand and asked: "Grandma Zhang, what is Ruanfan?"

Gu Mian still remembers Zhang Suqin's expression at that time. She smiled, but it was as if someone pulled the corner of her mouth to make her laugh, looking stiff and sad.

Gu Mian didn't see Mu Yongnan many times, but he had a deep impression on him.Mu Yongnan is tall and big, always wearing a suit and tie, looking exactly like those successful people on TV.

Although rich, Mu Yongnan has no airs at all.He is always smiling and kind to people.

When Gu Mian was younger, he hugged Gu Mian and took Gu Mian to buy candy affectionately.

For a long time, Gu Mian's father was always like Mu Yongnan.

At that time, Gu Mian, who had no father, hugged Mu Yongnan, and suddenly envied his child.

But now, Mu Yongnan's daughter is in front of her eyes, but she can't envy her anymore.

"What's wrong?" Gu Mian's gaze was so intense that it was hard to ignore, Mu Jin finally raised her head and asked.

Gu Mian recovered from all kinds of thoughts, and said in a panic: "I don't understand this question, so I want to ask you."

In order to hide her embarrassment, she pointed to a question at random, but she didn't want Mu Jin to take the book, read the content of that section, and wrote out the idea of ​​solving the question on the draft paper.

"Here you are." Mu Jin pushed the book and draft paper to Gu Mian's side, lowered her head and continued to read her book.

After Gu Mian got the answer right, she looked at the detailed problem-solving steps on the draft paper, and exclaimed, "My God, Xiaojin, you are too good!"

"It's nothing serious, that question is very simple." Mu Jin turned a page in the book in her hand and said indifferently.

"Easy is simple, but we haven't started learning yet." Gu Mian moved closer to Mu Jin, gossiping, "Xiao Jin, you are so smart, you must have good grades!"

Mu Jin glanced at her, but didn't answer her question: "Let's read a book."

"Oh." Gu Mian sat back resentfully, and opened the book again.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally made it to noon, when Zhang Suqin called for dinner, Gu Mian stood up: "Xiao Jin, Grandma Zhang has asked us to eat."

"I heard." Mu Jin closed the book, tidied up the textbooks on the table, and then stood up, "Let's go."

Gu Mian looked at the messy desktop on her side, felt a little embarrassed, stretched out her hand and tidied it quickly: "Okay, I'll come right away."

After dinner, Gu Mian proposed to go back and take a nap.

Zhang Suqin took off her apron, and asked to stay: "Mianmian, you can sleep at grandma's place, squeeze with Xiaojin, and read a book together when you wake up."

Gu Mian was a little moved, but seeing Mu Jin frowned slightly, she refused again: "No Grandma Zhang, I don't sleep well, and I'm afraid I'll squeeze Xiao Jin out of bed."

"You child," Zhang Suqin also sensed Mu Jin's resistance, and changed her tune, "Why don't you go to sleep in my room, I don't take a nap anyway."

"No, I'll go back to sleep. It's only a short distance away, and we'll be there in a few steps." Gu Mian opened the door, and the stuffy air swept in. "Grandma Zhang, Xiaojin, I'm leaving first, see you later."

Walking out of the gate, the sun shone hotly on me.Gu Mian covered her head with her hands and quickened her pace to go home.

After waking up in the afternoon, Gu Mian went to Zhang Suqin's house again.Zhang Suqin was watching TV in the living room with a fan, but the sound from the TV was very low.

Seeing Gu Mian coming, Zhang Suqin greeted: "Mian Mian is here, Xiaojin is reading in the room, you can go up and find her."

Gu Mian nodded and ran upstairs in a few steps.

The afternoon was also tough, Gu Mian couldn't read the book, and Mu Jin didn't talk to her, so she could only scribble on the draft pad.

The only thing that comforts her is that Mu Jin's room is air-conditioned, which is much better than the fan in their house that has been blowing for more than ten years in order to escape the heat.

Gu Mian stayed at Zhang Suqin's house until Xiao Zhenhui got off work.

Xiao Zhenhui works in a shoe factory. The salary in the shoe factory is not high, but there are many jobs.She goes out at seven o'clock in the morning and gets home at eight o'clock in the evening, and she doesn't even have time to go home for dinner at noon.

When Gu Mian was young, Xiao Zhenhui often helped her prepare lunch in the morning, and let her eat it hot at noon.Later, when Gu Mian grew up a bit, she started to learn to cook by herself, for which she was praised by the neighbors for her ability.

But those people praised Gu Mian's ability in front of their faces, but they might not say what they said behind their backs.

Although Gu Mian hadn't heard them talk about her, she could guess something."A child without a father is poor", and "Her indiscreet mother has also committed a crime", the tone is sympathetic, but the eyes are shining with excitement.

These people have always liked to gossip about other people's family affairs, especially from a critical point of view.It seems that everyone else is a fool, only he is the most sober one.

But in fact, the mess in their family is also gossip in other people's mouths.

Zhang Suqin, as a "rich old lady" who married her son into a wealthy family, and Xiao Zhenhui, as an "indiscreet woman" who gave birth before marriage, are often the subject of gossip by those people.

In addition, Zhang Suqin didn't like to gossip about other people's affairs, Xiao Zhenhui went out early and returned late and had no time to participate in these people's gossip, so subtly, the two of them were isolated by the people around them.

Although the neighbors are neighbors, everyone will still say hello when they meet.However, their relationship with other people is limited to greetings.

But because of this, Zhang Suqin and Xiao Zhenhui's family became closer.
