Reborn Scholar

Chapter 21

When he got home at night, Meng Shi asked his mother, "Mom, what happened to Uncle?"

Lu Caixia gave her a sidelong glance, "Kids, what do you do with so many things?"

Meng Shi made a grimace, "You can't even ask. Anyway, I think Miss Qin is pretty good, she has a shy personality, and she won't bully others when she thinks about it."

"I don't tell you to say it, but you still want to say it."

"Mom, just tell me, tell me and stop asking."

Lu Caixia laughed angrily, paused, and said, "Your grandma thinks this girl is a bit stupid, and she's afraid that she won't be solid and won't do anything."

"That's a lot of work? Not everyone is as capable as grandma. Grandma has such a strong personality. If you want a strong daughter-in-law, don't quarrel. Grandma also said that you love to quarrel with her, and your daughter-in-law In this way, if you change to a powerful daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be a quarrel."

Meng Shi looked very casual.

Lu Caixia was taken aback.

That's right, grandma has a strong personality, and her mother, Lu Caixia, has completely integrated her strong personality. The two of them often quarrel and quarrel, but it's just a matter of daily life, so forget it.

But this is because grandma and mother are mother and daughter. If it were daughter-in-law, there would be a layer of separation. When they quarrel, it is impossible to say that they are like mother and daughter, and they still kiss after the quarrel...

Lu Caixia glanced at Meng Shi suspiciously, "Shi Shi, who taught you this?"

Meng Shi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "No one taught me, I don't know if I think about it. Don't you often scold me, think about it yourself, can you scold your daughter-in-law like scolding me. It is said that a daughter-in-law is also a family when she comes in, but it is different. Hey, don’t you also like grandma, if grandma is the same as grandma, what do you think you two will quarrel?"

Lu Caixia got angry, "You don't know what your grandma is like, I haven't said it yet, your grandma finally came back from your aunt's house yesterday. Since you were young, you were raised by your grandma, and your brother was raised by me. You went to work in the field with your back on your back. Neither your grandma nor your grandpa said to coax your younger brother. You two have never coaxed your younger brother when you grow up so big. Even if your grandma doesn’t do the field work, at least Cook us a meal or something when we are busy. We don’t have to do a day’s work in the field. We are so tired that we have to cook by ourselves when we come back. We don’t see people when we are busy. Now we are free and come back. Do you know why she came back? She came back to ask for food! No food, I don’t think she’s back yet!”

Meng Shi was a little surprised, "Grandma is back?"

"No, I came back yesterday, and I'm in my hometown. I told you to send a few sacks of wheat to your aunts. They didn't have a good harvest this year, and they didn't even have food. Huh, I knew it would happen, and it's not like two at a time. It’s like this every year. A group of maids are sent to feed your grandma, and you need food. It’s so nice to say before, this year you’ll get next year’s wheat and you’ll pay it back, but it’s been so many years. It is said that there are several thousand catties, did you see that they returned some food?"

Meng Shi sighed.

People in this era are very frugal, but my aunt is even more frugal.

My aunt married and always wanted a boy, but she gave birth to five children, all of whom were daughters. She gave away one, kept four for herself, and finally gave birth to a sixth child, who was a few years older than Meng Shi. months.

In this day and age, when a family raises so many people, they have to pay fines for superbirth. Life is definitely tight.

My uncle works in a cotton mill in the county town and earns some wages. My aunt farms the land at home, and the little wheat she earns is not enough to eat. This year, coupled with the heavy rain when harvesting the wheat, it is even more terrible.

Lu Caixia had expected that her aunt's family would definitely come to ask for wheat, but she never expected that her grandma would ask her father, Meng Qingshan, to deliver it to them.

The reason is very simple. The Meng family has a tricycle, which was used by my father to solicit customers for transportation. Now that he doesn't do transportation, he stays at home as a farm vehicle.

Lu Caixia added, "It's like this every year. Who's not living a life? When I married your father, he gave me 300 yuan to make two sets of clothes. I didn't have any furniture. You gave me the sewing machine and bicycle." Grandma bought it. After getting married, one or two people in the family don’t care about things. Your grandfather just goes to the teahouse every day. Your grandma lives with this girl for two days today, and another girl’s house for two days tomorrow. We all took care of it, our family built a house, none of your grandparents took care of it, and I borrowed money from your dad..."

Meng Shi couldn't help sighing.

In fact, she was very annoyed by the short-sightedness of these parents, but her mother was really wronged.

The family background of my grandmother's family is relatively good. My grandfather and grandfather liked to drink tea together, and they agreed to marry my mother to my father.

Unexpectedly, after getting married, my mother found out that my father's family is so poor, all three older sisters are married, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below, but the family has nothing but three tiled houses and a large yard.

The grandma is partial to a few aunts, helping the aunt's family to take care of the children, and helping when the farming is busy, but never caring about her own family...

Every time his mother talked about these things, Meng Shi just listened silently. His mother was also a sharp-mouthed bean curd, and when she complained, it was over.

As for other rural women, if the two elders in the family do not help in such a big matter as building a house, it is absolutely irrelevant to the rhythm of the elders.

But even though my mother said it very well, she still brought grandpa to live with him in the town. Grandma didn't want to be with grandpa, and the aunts still took turns to live with each other...

Meng Shi knew that his mother listened to what he said, so he didn't say anything more and listened to his mother's nagging.

Two days later, my mother told Meng Shi that my uncle saw another one.

Meng Shi's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he's still here!

Following along to join in the fun, Meng Shi immediately saw that woman, who was his aunt from the previous life, Feng Yue.

Feng Yue is tall, with fair skin and a broad frame. At first glance, she has the kind of blessed appearance in the eyes of rural people.

Seeing Feng Yue, Meng Shi couldn't help but put his hands against his heart, which was hurting.

When my grandmother passed away, my mother cried so much that she almost fainted. Later, when my uncle in his 30s passed away, my mother was so sad that she almost died.

No matter how many factors caused the death of grandma and uncle, Meng Shi always stubbornly believed that Feng Yue was definitely one of the key factors.

But obviously, relatively speaking, grandma prefers the shrewd Feng Yue.

Of course, Meng Shi wouldn't be that stupid and just say he doesn't like Feng Yue or something.She just watched Feng Yue's every move more carefully.

The yard of grandma's house has a fatal attraction for anyone who has never been there before, and Feng Yue is no exception.

Different from the appreciation in Qin Xin's eyes, Feng Yue's eyes were filled with jealousy.

Meng Shi didn't say a word, just playing on the sidelines on his own.

Just before the meal, Feng Yue and her aunt went out together, probably whispering.

This time it was her aunt and aunt who followed Feng Yue. Her mother left her behind and remarried, so naturally she would not come with her.

Meng Shi was a child, no one paid attention to her, so she squatted at the door, pretending to be picking henna, and heard the conversation between Feng Yue and her aunt.

"The conditions are good, but there is another brother in his family. There are some things that need to be clarified before marriage. There is only one building, and the main house must belong to you. Moreover, if you agree, you will separate immediately after you get married. Otherwise If so, which one doesn't favor the youngest son?" Feng Yue's aunt whispered.

Feng Yue nodded, "I know, since the family is separated anyway, the main house here must belong to me, and I have to ask them to build another kitchen next to it, and each of them will do their own thing."

"Yes, there is still land, and we have to divide it. You should be careful about which pieces of land you want first, and don't want the potholes, because you won't be able to harvest. I heard that their wheat was harvested before the rain this year. The yield is very good. This year's wheat price You are tall, you can ask for more dowry."

"Well, aunt, then we need to buy a sewing machine, a TV set and a refrigerator. People get these when they get married now. Of course, when you marry into this family, you have to show off a little bit."

"I know all of this, don't worry. The matchmaker should have said these things, don't tell me you girl, don't worry, I will explain everything to the matchmaker."

Hearing this, Meng Shi sighed, turned around and went to the kitchen, pulled his mother and grandma, and said all these words in a low voice.

Sure enough, both mother and grandma's faces were ugly.
