Reborn Scholar

Chapter 19

The pace of the novel slowed down for the time being, and Meng Shi devoted himself to turning on the mastery mode, and only slowly wrote personal settings and so on in his spare time.

When the results of the midterm exam came out, Meng Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay, and he was still the first in the grade. Although there were only two classes in the whole grade, with less than a hundred students, that was also the first.

At that time, the elementary school curriculum was relatively rigid. Mathematics was simple math problems, and Chinese was the texts in the textbooks. I wrote sentences and paragraphs, the author, the central idea of ​​the text, new words and words, etc. over and over again.

If it was an elementary school more than 20 years later, she would not dare to deal with it like this.

More than 20 years later, elementary school will start learning English from the third grade. At this time, children may only just understand Pinyin.Moreover, at that time, there were already countless extracurricular readings in elementary school, such as Jane Eyre, and the exams had to be passed!

In other words, is it really good for primary school students to read Jane Eyre?
I didn't complain too much, anyway, Meng Shi knew that as long as she got the first place in the exam, she would have a certain score in her heart, and her family would not care too much about her.

The first day of the eleventh lunar month, Meng Shi's birthday.

Just like before, my aunt came back from her part-time job because she wanted to talk about her husband's family.

Meng Shi's birthday was on the same day as my aunt's, so I bought a cake and the family ate happily together.

It was the first time Meng Xiangfei ate cake, and he ate it very happily.

Of course, Meng Xiangfei is also in the first grade. Because of Meng Shi's previous tutoring, Meng Xiangfei's grades are also very good, and he got the third place in the class in the midterm exam. A good student.

Everything seems to be going well.

But within two days of the happy days, Meng Shi was unhappy again.

It's very simple, uncle Lu Yingpeng, a matchmaker has already agreed to bring the girl to the house to see.

This is a local custom. First, the matchmaker makes peace with the two parties, talking about the situation in their respective families, and let the male and female parties meet first. If both parties think it is okay, the woman will come to the house to have a look, and the man will give the woman a red envelope.

If the woman is willing, she will accept the red envelope, and the matter will be considered a success.

Meng Shi also knew that grandma had been showing her uncle all the time, so she was always worried and didn't say anything.

At this moment, the woman is finally coming home.

Meng Shi was a little nervous. She was actually not sure whether to intervene.

Uncle is a weak person. As the saying goes, he is a good guy. He is tall and fair, which is rare among rural people, and he is very popular with girls.

In the previous life, my aunt was a very mean woman, strong and mean, and my grandmother's death had a direct relationship with my aunt.

At that time, if it wasn't for the aunt who quarreled with grandma and didn't give grandma food, how could grandma be so angry that she wanted to run to my aunt's house?

At that time, my grandma had suffered a stroke and her mind was still clear, but it was difficult for her to speak. For some reason, she went the wrong way. In the cold winter months, she ran to the canal dozens of miles away by herself at night. The canal was dry in winter. There is only a small puddle of water around the edge.

However, grandma fell off the bank of the canal and fell into the shallow puddle... she froze to death.

Meng Shi never dared to think too much about his grandmother's death.

Every time she thought of it, she felt a chill all over her body.

In the night of the twelfth lunar month of winter, the north wind was like a knife, freezing to death. Grandma was wearing thin clothes, holding half a dry steamed bun in her hand, and walked dozens of miles alone in the open field... In the end, she froze to death .

I don't know how she felt during the night when she couldn't get out of it with all her might; I also don't know how she fell into the shallow puddle and kept grabbing the side wall of the canal with her hands, but she could only grasp the deserted water. What does it feel like to be eroded by the cold in winter nights, unable to get up no matter how hard you struggle...

OK!
Meng Shi took a deep breath, although she knew that the death of grandma couldn't be entirely blamed on the eldest aunt, after all, grandma had already suffered a stroke at that time, so she took a wrong turn on the way to her aunt's house.

However, she still couldn't forgive her eldest aunt.

What's more, it's not just this one.

Grandma passed away, of course it is impossible for someone to blame the eldest aunt, everyone has already passed away, so how can I make my uncle live in an uneasy life?
But later, my mother told Meng Shi countless times that she regretted so much, regretted why she had chosen her eldest aunt as her sister-in-law in the first place.

After having their first daughter, the uncle and aunt went to other places to work in order to avoid family planning, hoping to have a boy.But I asked for two in a row, both girls, one was given away, and the other was raised by my aunt.

At that time, the wages of part-time workers were also very low, and my uncle and aunt were very frugal.

In the first year of high school, in the first semester, my uncle came back from part-time job and bought her a repeater to let her learn English, and then went to work again. As a result, before she finished her first semester, bad news came that my uncle died suddenly.

My parents hurried to the place where my uncle worked and asked my aunt where she was.

The aunt only said that the uncle went outside to wash and dry the clothes, and when he came back with a bucket of water, he suddenly fell to the ground and died.

The conclusion of the hospital was that he was overworked and died suddenly!

In fact, this can be regarded as two reasons, but... Mom can't help but blame the eldest aunt.

The reason is simple. My uncle does the laundry, cooking, and even cleaning. He also has to go to the factory to work overtime.
How could Meng Shi let go of two lives?

In any case, she has already changed part of history, so what if she continues to change?
So, on the day the girl came to see her at home, Meng Shi also went to her grandmother's house.

Meng Shi was actually prepared.

She heard from her mother that the first uncle met was not his aunt, but a girl from Qinzhuang. The girl's father and grandfather were friends. The girl was a little dark, but she looked good. Moreover, this girl I like uncle very much!
There is no way, who told the uncle to be tall and fair, which is really rare in the countryside, so it is natural for the girl to fall in love with him.

What Meng Shi heard from his mother was that this girl from the Qin family is too real and doesn't have a heart. She came to the man's house to see each other. During lunch, her grandmother gave her a big bowl of dumplings. The girl couldn't finish it. , but still bit the bullet and ate it, because I was too embarrassed to have leftovers.At that time, my grandmother was too picky, so she said that the girl didn't know how to turn, and when she couldn't finish eating, she picked out a few when she got the bowl, and did she have to eat all of them?

Then, grandma felt that this girl was too real, and uncle was honest, how could the two wooden people live together?

In the end, grandma chose the elder aunt who was smart and intelligent, but what did she get in exchange?

Meng Shi couldn't say that grandma was wrong, every mother in the world was looking for her own child.

However, according to Meng Shi, if the uncle can take a liking to this girl from the Qin family, she will have to persuade grandma not to pick and choose, she is a better person.Now, it all depends on what uncle means.If he doesn't like it, that's another story.

Seeing Meng Shi's serious face, grandma couldn't help teasing her, "Shishi, I'm looking for your aunt. Why are you nervous?"

Meng Shi bit his lips, "Grandma, I'll help take a look, okay? Otherwise, if I find a tiger woman and won't let my uncle kiss (pamper) me, then I won't obey."

Grandma immediately laughed, "Okay, okay, you can help me too. I'm a big kid!"

Around 10:30, the matchmaker brought the girl, the girl's mother, and the girl's aunt to the grandmother's house.

Seeing that girl for the first time, Meng Shi couldn't help coughing lightly, she was really... a bit dark.

At least, that girl is much darker than both Meng Shi and uncle.

But this is also the reason why Chinese people don't know how to appreciate it. Those in Europe and the United States even go to tan their wheat colors.

This girl has sharp eyes, probably because she is shy, her face has been flushed since she came in, and occasionally she secretly glanced at the uncle and quickly lowered her head.

Meng Shi's first impression of Miss Qin was good.

The next step is to observe the uncle.

Because the girl has good facial features, she should actually be very beautiful.

But at this time, people's aesthetics still like white, and they say that white covers all ugliness, so the uncle should not be too surprised when he sees this girl.

Meng Shi thought, this is not possible, how can we judge people by their appearance?

With that said, Meng Shi directly took an apple and a kitchen knife, and intentionally peeled the apple at the entrance of the main room.

As soon as the girl saw it, she immediately walked over, "I'll cut it for you."

With that said, he took the apple and knife from Meng Shi's hand, peeled the apple, washed it, and gave it to her.

The smile on Meng Shi's face looked even better.

The uncle also came over, "Why do you use such a big knife every now and then? What if you hurt your hand?"

Meng Shi chuckled, "Wouldn't someone cut it for me?"

Looking at Meng Shi's running eyes, uncle and Miss Qin felt embarrassed.

Meng Shi thought to himself, it seems that there is a door!
Then came lunch time, though, and the real test came.

Meng Shi felt that it would be better to find a not-so-intelligent but hard-working woman who likes uncle than a selfish woman who only thinks about herself!

So, she must help.
