Reborn Scholar

Chapter 13

The sky suddenly darkened.

The wind is very strong, flying sand and rocks.

"Brother Meng, let's continue to cut. Hurry up and go back to Mengying's wheat field and cover the wheat stacks! After so many days of drought, once there is a heavy rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while. If the wheat is drenched, it will be bad." It's gone!" Lu Yingpeng said hastily.

Meng Qingshan also knew that this was not the time to worry about these things, he had to go home and cover up the wheat stacks he had already piled on the wheat field.

Immediately, Meng Qingshan and his grandfather Meng Jizhong rushed back to Mengying Village, but covered the wheat stacks, and his mother also rushed back to the wheat field of Luying Village, helping grandma cover the eight acres of wheat that had been cut and stacked. .

After it was covered, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and gusts of air-conditioning indicated that a heavy rain was coming!
After the wheat stacks were built, grandpa went straight back to the old house, and dad hurried to grandma's house by bicycle.

After grandma and mother built the wheat stacks, they rushed to the field again, grabbing as much as they could.Even Meng Shi and Meng Xiangfei, who was playing in the field, came to help, helping father Meng Qingshan load the cut and bundled wheat on the cart.

Grandpa, grandma, mother and uncle continued to harvest wheat, while father and Meng fashion drove to the wheat field.

Fortunately, this land is not far from the wheat field, only a few hundred meters away.

After being pulled to the wheat field, they are stacked directly and covered with plastic film.

Because the ears of wheat face inwards and the straws of wheat stalks face outwards, so if the plastic sheet is not enough, you only need to cover the top, which is much faster.

When the last cart of wheat was being loaded, bean-sized raindrops fell.

The raindrops were so big that it hurt to hit him.

But the family was very happy.The wheat harvest is over!
Looking at other houses, they have only harvested less than a third of the wheat.

In the evening, I finally had a good meal and had a good rest.

It's raining too much and I can't do anything.

However, the rain has stopped, and the soil has moisture (soil humidity, reading business), which is just right for planting directly without watering.

It rained heavily for seven days in a row.

The summer heat is all gone.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the rain finally cleared up.

The unharvested wheat in the field fell due to the heavy rain, and the overripe ears of wheat sprouted directly because of the heavy rain.

And those who saw that it had been raining for three or four days and couldn't wait to harvest the wheat in the rain, because the wheat was too wet, it piled up and immediately became moldy.

lost heavily.

The only one that didn't lose was Meng Shi's family.

Although the wheat was cut before it was fully ripe, at least it didn't germinate, and it didn't rot...

Dragon Boat Festival, brother Meng Xiangfei's sixth birthday.

Meng Shi spent more than ten yuan to buy an electronic watch for his brother from the city.

This kind of electronic watch is only a few cents from the south, but it is directly sold at a high price of eight or nine yuan, or even more than ten yuan, in the mainland.

Obviously, my brother likes electronic watches very, very much.

This watch is the only one in the village, even among the children in the town.

Cotton was planted in Meng Shi's field.

Planting cotton is really hard work. The seedlings have been raised, and they need to be moved to the ground one by one for planting. Now that the geographical moisture is good, there is no need to water, and there is still a little work left.

After planting, it is necessary to weed every few days, because weeds will absorb nutrients and seriously affect the growth of cotton.

When the cotton grows to a height of about a foot, it needs to be fertilized.When the growth of cotton plants is about the same, topping should be done in time to prevent crazy growth.

At the same time, spraying pesticides is one of the most arduous tasks.

Cotton is prone to insects and diseases. Even with insect-resistant cotton, it is also prone to insects. There are more diseases and many times of medicine are needed!

Really hard work.

The Sunday before the final exam of the third grade of elementary school.

Meng Shi followed his father to the field to weed the cotton.

Dad uses a hoe to weed, but she pulls it out by hand. The hoe is too heavy for her to use well, and it is easy to break the cotton seedlings. It is better to pull the weeds faster.

My younger brother went to my grandmother's house to play, and my mother was selling bean sprouts on the street.

Seeing that most of the other families had replanted cotton fields into sesame seeds, although most of the Meng family planted cotton as scheduled after Meng Shi's persuasion, there was still a piece of land, more than two acres, planted with sesame seeds.

Meng Shi thought it didn't matter, the big deal was that the price of sesame seeds was cheap, so he kept his own squeezed oil to eat. The sesame oil was very fragrant, and it was a must for cold dishes.

While weeding, my father asked Meng Shi, "Shishi, look at how easy it is to grow sesame seeds, pick the seedlings and weed the weeds, and it's almost done. Sesame is expensive, and it's a lot of trouble for us to grow cotton. Why do you insist on growing cotton?" Woolen cloth?"

Meng Shi thought for a while and said, "Dad, it's the same as when I said that it might rain when I cut the wheat. At that time, the wheat was almost grown, and the loss of cutting two days earlier was not too big. But it was already very long at that time." It didn't rain, so I thought it was time to rain. The same is true for cotton. The price of cotton was too low last year, so people didn't want to plant it this year. If everyone didn't plant, wouldn't there be less cotton? Cotton The price will naturally go up if there is less. As for sesame, last year’s price was too high, far higher than the normal price. This year, there are so many people growing sesame. Do you think the price of sesame can still go up? Besides, The last time I went to the provincial capital city Z, I seemed to have heard that the state issued a document that regulates the purchase of cotton. I heard that it was because the price of cotton was low last year, and many cotton farmers lost money."

"What you said makes sense. That's enough, we've planted all the seeds, so there's not much to say. As long as our cotton is of good quality, we're not afraid that we won't be able to sell it."

……

The final exam is coming as scheduled.

Ever since he got the first place in the mid-term exam last time, and after taking the exam, he got another [-] points in mathematics. Now, Meng Shi is already a veritable good student in the class.

Teacher Yang, who often spanked people and fined them money, never punished Meng Shi, even if Meng Shi was sometimes caught talking in class.This is the privilege of a good student.

The final exam was also not difficult for Meng Shi.

After the exam, Meng Shi immediately felt relaxed.

Meng Shasha and Meng Shi moved the stool home together.

At this time, they brought their own stools to school, and the school only had desks.At the end of the semester, students have to take their own stools home and bring them back at the beginning of the next semester.

So, after the exam in the afternoon, the school gate and the streets were full of children carrying stools home.

"Meng Shi, you must be the first in this exam again, you are too good." Meng Shasha praised without hesitation.

Meng Shi sighed in his heart. She was a very nervous person. She had never felt anything wrong before. Her mother once told her that Meng Shasha, like her mother, was a person who would come to trouble. Her heart was stronger than Meng Shi's. Time is much stronger.

Meng Shi didn't believe it at first, but later, she really had to admit that her heart was far worse than that of Meng Shasha.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter what grade you get in the exam." Meng Shi said casually.

"You know that you must be the first in the exam, and you say that on purpose, really." Meng Shasha joked.

Meng Shi smiled, neither denying nor responding.

In the past, she and Meng Shasha were very close, so close that the parents of the two families bought the same clothes...

After returning home, Meng Shi started his recent work.

A few days ago, she received a reminder letter from the world of science fiction, asking if she had any new works. At the same time, the world of science fiction also notified her that her work had been shortlisted for the final of the final best science fiction novel and was likely to win the award .

Meng Shi went home and sorted out the Independence Day that he had made recently. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to the science fiction world, asking if he could ask them to help find someone to translate Jurassic Park into English and send it to the country M. Published by Science Fiction Magazine.

The story of Independence Day does not require much explanation, and the main plot line is not complicated. Meng Shi wrote it into a novella of about [-] words.She had prepared it a long time ago, but she deliberately delayed sending it for such a long time.

After posting the letter, Meng Shi decided to borrow English books from some sisters in the same village who were in junior high school.

In her previous life, the worst thing she had was English.

In fact, when she was just in the first grade of junior high school, her English was okay, but for some reason, her English was getting worse... Maybe it was because she didn't put too much effort into English.

In this life, she will never lose in English again.

Knowing that she was going to learn English in advance, her parents were surprised and very happy. At the same time, they were also worried that she had just finished learning Chinese Pinyin, and she was going to learn English. Will she be good at it?
Don't delay your current homework any longer.

When Meng Shi spent a whole day finishing her two summer homework on Chinese and Mathematics, her parents didn't say anything, and took the initiative to help her borrow the English textbook from the first semester of junior high school.

No way, until almost 15 years later, it seems that English was only learned from the first year of junior high school.

The English textbook for the first semester of junior high school is too simple.

26 letters, reading and writing, simple daily conversations, hello, sorry, you're welcome, nice to meet you...

Sure enough, she, an English major who has been in university for a year, is still very relaxed when facing this freshman English.

But she didn't dare to be careless, and honestly read the textbook thoroughly over and over again.
