Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 70 Meng Jinniu (two more)

The third Meng in the novel, known as Meng Jinniu, is from Liuzhuang, Naliang Commune, the hometown of Meng Shengli, and the grand-nephew of Meng Shengli.

Meng Shengli left home to participate in the revolution when he was 20 years old. During this period, he sent several letters and some money home, but he never heard back from his family. Until he returned to his hometown at the age of 45 with his infant Meng Taohua in his arms, His old parents had passed away, and apart from him, there was only the elder brother and one room left among the five brothers and sisters, and the others were gone.

Meng Shengli's name at home was Meng Changshuan, ranking third. His eldest brother, Meng Changshou, was five years older than him. He married Geng Liuju, the eldest daughter of the Geng clan in the next village. Geng Liuju was a fertile and well-mannered family member, and gave birth to four Meng Changshou. Her son and three daughters have all grown up. With her pungent energy, she has guarded the five brick houses and a large yard of Meng's family, which is classified as a rich peasant. She also has a good reputation for supporting her parents' brothers and sisters. Uncle Meng Shengli, who had returned from outside, could not bear it.

When Meng Shengli returned to the village, because he knew that he could receive a subsidy every month, Geng Liuju also treated him politely. Later, he found that Meng Shengli was too ambitious, not only did not hand over all the subsidy, but also refused to listen to her arrangement. Meng Taohua gave away the money-losing goods, and adopted his own grandson, so he turned his face.

Meng Shengli didn't mind either. He only asked for a divorce, and the village chief came forward to the branch house. Geng Liuju disagreed at all, saying that Meng Shengli didn't have the right to return to the branch house because he didn't care for his parents. His ability to force Meng Shengli's grandfather and grandson out of the Meng family.

Meng Shengli really felt guilty about caring for his parents, feeling that he was short, and seeing that his brother also acquiesced to his sister-in-law's behavior, he had to leave his hometown sadly and settle in Linshui Village.

Every New Year and festival, Meng Shengli also brings his granddaughter back to visit his parents' graves, and he wants his granddaughter to be close to his brothers and sisters, so that they can rely on each other in the future. , Gradually, Meng Shengli did not go back.

And the third Meng in the text is the third son of Meng Laifu, the eldest son of Meng Changshou and Geng Liuju.

Meng Laifu married a total of three wives. The first was Geng Liuju's niece. She had two sons and died in childbirth. , Geng Liuju was driven to work in the field within a few days after the birth of Meng Laosan, and was rubbed to death within a year. The third wife was still a relative of Geng Liuju's family...

Geng Liuju doesn't want to see Meng Laosan's own mother, so naturally she doesn't like Meng Laosan. This is a sad child. She grew up begging like a stray cat and dog. When labor was earning work points in the production team, Geng Liuju loved his other grandchildren, and he only rolled his eyes at Meng Laosan, who would beat and scold him. Listen to everything!
Meng Tao always pays attention to Meng Laosan every time she plays the plot, and has been waiting for Meng Laosan to appear.

Because in the novel, when Meng Laosan was 20 years old, he would be forcibly married by Geng Liuju, forcing him to marry a widow named Geng Caiyue, a grandniece of her natal family, who was six years older than him and had three young children. He was forced to follow the arrangement of his grandmother Geng Liuju to marry the widow Xi to be his father. Unexpectedly, after two years of marriage, the widow eloped with another man and left three children to be raised by Meng Laosan.

Meng Laosan wore a green hat and became the laughing stock of the whole village and the surrounding people together with the old Meng family. Meng Changshou honestly scolded Geng Liuju for a long time. Geng Liuju also felt ashamed and listened to Meng Changshou for the first time in his life. , and asked Meng Laosan to take his three children to Linshui Village, as a descendant of Meng Shengli, and asked to settle down.

Meng Shengli had no heirs, and Meng Taohua was just a granddaughter, so the people of Linshui Village agreed to let Meng Laosan settle down.

In the book, Wang Shuifeng and Shi Datou strongly opposed this matter, but Bao Shunfeng and other village cadres did not listen to them. They directly allocated a piece of dry land at the foot of the mountain that Meng Shengli opened up during his lifetime to Meng Lao San and his son, and helped him build three thatched cottages. , simply surrounded the yard with a bamboo fence. Since then, the third Meng Sheng has carried the incense of Meng Shengli and visited the tomb of Meng Shengli every year.

After Meng Laosan came to Linshui Village, Shi Datou did not dare to beat and scold Meng Taohua casually, because Meng Laosan saw him smashing Meng Taohua with stones in the field, so he took a pole and beat him to the point where his head was bleeding and his teeth were all broken. Two were lost.

There is a scene description later in the text, and Meng Laosan appears as a background board: On a certain Qingming Festival after Meng Taohua's death, Meng Laosan took his wife and seven or eight children up the mountain to sweep the tombs. There were two tombs, one large and one small. The tombstone belongs to Meng Shengli and Meng Taohua. This should be the master of Meng Laosan. He did not let Shi Datou bury Meng Taohua casually, but placed her next to his grandfather.

The wife Meng Laosan married in Linshui Village was also a widow. Meng Tao knew her, and now she is still the daughter-in-law of Lin Erhu in the village, Ge Xiangqin. Lin Erhu seems to be building a road and died in a landslide, leaving behind his young daughter-in-law and three Baby, Meng Laosan liked to be a father and adopted six, and he and Ge Xiangqin gave birth to two. He has been working hard for his children all his life.

Meng Tao doesn't know what Meng Taohua thinks in the novel, but now she is the one to call the shots, and she knows that according to the plot, Meng Laosan will eventually come to Linshui Village and inherit the incense of Meng Shengli. For the sake of sincerity in treating family affection, she should intervene as much as she can, so that Mr. Meng doesn't have to live too hard in this life.

Geng Liuju's top-quality old woman, if you can get rid of it, get rid of it as soon as possible.

Seeing that a group of people were about to leave, Meng Tao suddenly shouted, "Meng Jinniu!"

"Hey."

Third Meng didn't know who was calling him, so he just agreed subconsciously, turned around and stared blankly at Meng Tao who was walking towards him, a little unbelievable that this strange and handsome girl called out his name.

The few men also stopped and turned around to look at Meng Tao.

Meng Tao walked in front of Meng Lao San and asked, "You are Liu Zhuang of the Liang Commune, Meng Jinniu, the grandson of Meng Changshou, right?"

Meng Laosan nodded mechanically, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Meng Tao continued: "I am Meng Shengli's granddaughter, Meng Taohua."

The stunned Meng Laosan was like acupuncture points, and his black and red face suddenly burst into a big smile, and he was incoherent: "Ah! Are you a peach blossom? I, I, I know you! You are my cousin, and I am your cousin. Brother! Your grandfather's name is Meng Changshuan, but he joined the army and changed his name to Meng Shengli. He is my third grandfather! He is my dear third grandfather, and you and I share the same great grandfather!"

Meng Tao: "..." So long-winded.

She nodded and said, "I went to your house with my grandfather when I was a child. I still remember you, but you don't even remember me."

"No, I remember, I always remember you, it's just... You've grown up and changed. The third grandfather was not there. My grandfather and a few adults in the clan went to your house, so don't ask our little ones to go."

"Well, my grandfather is gone, why don't you come to see me? I'm alone, and you don't even know that I was bullied by others."

"me……"

Meng Laosan's smile became embarrassed, and slowly he couldn't laugh anymore: "I'm sorry girl, I want to go, but... there are too many jobs at home, so they won't ask to go."

"You are already an adult, so you should have your own ideas. What you want to do, if you think it makes sense, just do it. Why do you have to listen to others? Can others control you for the rest of your life? Cousin, I was alone in Linshui Village, and was taken by the Tian family. Retired, if you can come to see me often and let others know that I also have relatives to rely on, it will not be so difficult for me."

Meng Tao said that her eyes were red, and Meng Lao San panicked: "Sister don't cry! Brother, I will go to Linshui Village to see you later!"

"What if 'they' won't let you go?"

"I'm going too! It's okay to scold a few times."

The four men next to him came around and interjected: "third, this is the granddaughter of your third master's family?"

"Your third master's granddaughter is really handsome."

"Yeah, it's so beautiful, why did people quit the relationship? Which one is blind?"

Meng Laosan hurriedly introduced: "Sister, they are all from our village. The third master knew their grandfather when he was a child, this Liu Dafu, that Wang Ergou, Ma Liuzi..."

Meng Tao greeted with a smile, and called him a brother: "I'm here today to help the educated youth in the village to buy things, and I'm going to take the car home. Let's have something to eat first. Have you eaten yet? Why don't we eat together, today we will meet again as brothers and sisters. , my treat!"

The men quickly waved their hands and refused. They were very hungry, but they were not greedy for the little girl's food.

Although Meng Laosan is straightforward, he also knows that he can't spend his cousin's money. My cousin is alone now, and her life is very sad. He pushes Meng Tao into the restaurant: "You go to eat, you go to eat! We are here to give you one. I'm going back now! I'm going to visit you in Linshui Village in two days. If you have anything to do, you can wait for my brother to do it!"

Meng Tao was no match for the five peasants. Seeing them leaving in a hurry, she turned around to the restaurant window and saw braised pork head meat on the counter, as well as broth, noodles, big meat buns, steamed buns with white noodles, and wotou with black noodles. Big meat buns are more expensive, each [-] liang food stamps add [-] cents, white flour steamed buns add [-] cents, black noodles do not need food stamps, [-] cents a piece, the black noodles steamed in the restaurant is plentiful, hot and fluffy. indivual.

Meng Tao thought for a while, took out a kettle and a white cloth bag from her satchel, and asked the waiter to pack [-] black noodles and wotou, and then put a pot of bean juice left over from the morning, and a full pot only cost five cents.

While the waiter was filling the soy juice, Meng Tao grabbed a handful of dried salted radishes from the bag and stuffed it into the cloth bag containing the wotou. This was stored in the space, not too much, one per person.

After paying the money, they picked up the things and ran. They walked quite fast. They ran for more than [-] meters before catching up. It was hot, Meng Tao didn't speak, waved at him, and ran back.

She still has to eat, so hurry up and take the bus after eating, don't miss the shuttle.

The farmers in the villages followed Meng Laosan to send patients. No matter what kind of patients they were, they could help carry them to the county for medical treatment.

As for why they didn't buy meat buns and steamed buns with white noodles, Meng Tao worried that they would not accept them because they thought it was too expensive, and it would be troublesome if they returned them.
