Reborn Scholar

Chapter 30

Meng Shi didn't want to go to grandma's place, but she treated her aunt's family as if they were out of sight and left them all to her parents.

After all, it is most reasonable for them to come forward for such a thing. Anyway, mother already knew everything, and because Meng Shi cried in public, the neighbors also knew what happened. No matter what mother did, No one will say anything about her.

Meng Shi took Meng Xiangfei back to town.

It is said that the aunt's family did not leave that night.Because after Xu Ning fell into the cesspit, he was frightened. According to the saying in the countryside, he was frightened out of his soul. He looked a little out of his wits and started to have a fever.

These were all expected by Meng Shi, but she didn't want to interfere with them anymore.

Mom is not a cowardly and incompetent fool, Meng Shi believes that she will handle these things well.

She also decided that her parents would go back to work in the village in the future, and if she couldn't come back at noon, she would stay in the town with her younger brother, out of sight.

The elementary school courses are relatively easy. The midterm exam has just passed, and the learning tasks are not very tight. Meng Shi doesn't need to learn mathematics at all. It is all knowledge she knows, and she can just memorize Chinese.

She spends all her boring time at school learning English.

English is actually a test of absolute perseverance, so you will be able to learn about the same. It may be impossible to become an English scientist because of the problem of language talent, but Meng Shi's goal is to learn to be able to communicate proficiently in daily life. , can understand basic contract terms and the like.

Just like so many people in China can speak Chinese, but how many of them are real Chinese experts?

In other words, as long as she works hard, she will be able to achieve the goal of learning English well.

Now, Meng Shi had almost recited the vocabulary of the third grade of junior high school.

In fact, the vocabulary in the entire junior high school is not large, and they are basically common words. These are not unfamiliar to Meng Shi, and it is relatively easy to learn because of the foundation.The real hard part is high school.

Meng Shi recited and reviewed words, sentence patterns, tenses, and everyday phrases over and over again.Probably because he has a foundation and it is easy to learn, Meng Shi feels that his favorability for English is improving, and it will not appear like in his previous life, the more he will not be annoyed, the less he will not want to learn, the less he will...

About a week after the mid-term exam, the head teacher said that the county organized a famous saying and aphorism writing competition, and asked each school to choose students.

There is no doubt that Meng Shi is definitely the first choice.

Many students don't want to participate in this competition, because they have to memorize a lot of things that they don't usually use, which are the so-called famous sayings, such as "Young and strong don't work hard, the boss is sad", "Tomorrow will be so much tomorrow" and so on.

I don't usually take exams, so it's useless to memorize them.And it's not a sentence or two, it's a whole book, at least hundreds of sentences, and I'm going to be exhausted after memorizing it!

The teacher picked Meng Shi, but Meng Shi didn't refuse at all. One was that she couldn't refuse, and the other was that she thought it wouldn't hurt to memorize these things.And many of the sentences were known to her a long time ago, and she would naturally memorize them after seeing them a lot, so there were not too many to memorize.And the game time is half a month later, that is, January 1th.

On January 1th, they will be selected among those selected from various schools in the town. Those with good grades will be selected, and they will go to the county to compete in the county on January 15th.It is said that there are city competitions, provincial competitions and even national competitions and so on.

12 month 25 number.

It was also after eight o'clock in the evening, and Han Cheng called her again.

"Since then, the R Economic Index has fallen!"

Meng Shi snorted, "So fast?"

"Well, the decline is not too big, but the market is not confident enough, and it will definitely continue to fall."

"Oh."

"You don't seem surprised?" Han Cheng was a little depressed.

"Should I be surprised?"

"You know you're going to fall?"

"Didn't you say that? You were short at 2 points. If it doesn't fall, wouldn't you pay for it?"

"..."

12 month 31 number.

Meng Shi received a call from the editor of Science Magazine.

"Your gnome won the Best Long Science Fiction Novel Award at this year's Galaxy Awards!" The editor said with a smile, "The awards ceremony will be around January 1th, and the magazine officially notified me that you are invited to attend the Galaxy Awards ceremony! "

Meng Shi paused, "Sorry, I can't go."

"Ah? Why. Many people in the magazine want to see who you are."

Meng Shi smiled bitterly, she really couldn't go like this.

Rejected, the editor was very helpless and regretful, "Then we have to wait for the next time. But if you can't come, it's better to write a letter and send it. It's good to have a talk at the awards ceremony. To be honest, I’ve never met a writer who didn’t come to an award show.”

"it is good."

Is it just an acceptance speech, just write whatever you want.

It is inappropriate for her to write books at such a young age and still be famous. Naturally, she has to keep a low profile. If she tells everyone that she has written so many incredible works at such a young age, she is definitely looking for death .

Even Jiang Su, who helped her with the affairs of country R, ​​didn't know her age.

This is also due to the fact that the fidelity of the current telephone sound is really not good, and the voice on the phone is far from the voice of a real person.So Jiang Su didn't suspect anything.

It means that besides her own family, only Han Cheng and Professor Yu Qian know about her.

As for the identity used to sign the contract is Meng Qingshan, she just said that her ID card was inconvenient, so she dealt with it. There are too many such things, and people are not surprised.

New Year.

Meng Shi's family called it the Gregorian calendar year.

It's not grand, and many people don't miss this festival at all.Meng Shi's family was nothing more than a family eating dumplings together.

Grandma's physical condition has improved a lot, which is what Meng Shi is most gratified about.

But Meng Shi was still very worried about grandma's character.

Grandma is the kind of super capable woman who manages such a big house in order by herself. To put it in an extreme sentence, there is not even a dead leaf in the yard!

Some people say that this kind of people are usually overworked, so they are easy to get hurt and die.

Meng Shi has witnessed this in at least three people.

The other is the grandmother of a friend she met later, so clean and hardworking... no friends!And the death of this old man was also tragic. He suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. He had been lying on the bed for many years. When he was healthy, he was extremely clean.

There was also an old man with the same personality, quick and capable, but in the end, the wound on his body grew maggots before he died...

With these examples, Meng Shi always likes to persuade mothers who are similar in personality to grandma, to let go of everything, don't pursue extremes, eat, drink, have fun, and relax.

Meng Shi felt that he had this kind of character, he was good at forgetting, at least he wouldn't be mad at him.

Although grandma's condition has improved a lot, she can't completely recover. Once she is really angry, she will still have a stroke.

So Meng Shi would often tell his grandmother, don't worry about too many things, children and grandchildren have their own blessings and so on. As for whether grandma would listen to it or not, she didn't care, she didn't believe it. She often said that grandma would really say everything Can't hear it!

On January 1th, the third anniversary of Meng Shi's grandmother's death.

Lao Nai, which means grandma, is Meng Shi's father's grandma.

This old woman lived to be 96 years old, and she was in excellent health until she died. Of course, this may be related to the fact that the old woman often chased and beat her younger brother Meng Xiangfei all over the yard with a cane. When the old woman beat people, she walked like flying ah.

But Meng Shi basically didn't remember Lao Nai anymore, even what he looked like.

For the third anniversary, there is a banquet, and of course the aunts will also come back to burn paper for their grandma.

Eldest aunt Meng Xianglian, second aunt Meng Xianghong, third aunt Meng Xiangsui, younger aunt Meng Zhenyi, uncle Meng Xiushan.Because my sister-in-law Meng Zhenyi and my uncle Meng Xiushan were both working in the south, and they wereted money by running back and forth, so they didn't come back.The other three aunts are not too far away, so they must be back.

Meng Shi discovered that Xu Ning was a lot more honest even though his aunt came back this time with Xu Ning.When she met Meng Shi, Auntie's attitude was much softer. Although Xu Ning was too awkward to ignore her, she didn't deliberately provoke her like before.It seems that my aunt really put in a lot of effort to educate Xu Ning.

Meng Shi knew that his mother must have said or done something that made his aunt fearful.But after thinking about it, except for the wheat that the aunt's family must come to buy several times a year, there is nothing in the Meng family that makes the aunt afraid.

Meng Shi didn't care and didn't ask, as long as he was superficially polite to his aunt, it would be fine.

The second aunt and uncle came back with their three girls.The eldest cousin Feng Yu, the second cousin Feng Yan, and the younger cousin Feng Lan.

Meng Shi prefers these three cousins, and the second aunt is also a nicer person, unlike the eldest aunt who has completely inherited her grandma's personality, nor is it like the third aunt who looks down on her mother's family in the countryside when she marries a city person people.

Not long after the second aunt's family came back, the third aunt's family also came back.

The third uncle, Tang Guoqiang, is tall and burly, and in today's aesthetics, he is a good man and a handsome man, but Meng Shi uses her aesthetics to see that the third uncle is a typical gangster. Merry, it is said that the third aunt can't control him.

Because the third aunt's family is a latte worker, there is only one child, a boy, the same age as Meng Xiangfei, two or three months older than Meng Xiangfei, named Tang Ran.He inherited his father's mouth since he was a child, and he can speak very well.

And because his family is in the city, he is relatively rich, and he usually has a lot of toys and clothes, so there are always some clothes that are too small, worn out, or broken toys that he doesn't want, and the third aunt takes them back, "Alms "To Meng Xiangfei.

Meng Xiangfei doesn't understand the world of adults, he only knows that Brother Ran gave him toys before, and he likes to play with Brother Ran very much.

"See, this is the latest toy gun, it can ring, it lights up!" Tang Ran was showing Meng Xiangfei his new toy.

In fact, it is the most common gun. When the trigger is pulled, there will be a musical sound of clicking the gun, and the flash light inside the gun will also flash and light up.

Such a gun is really novel to rural children who have never seen it before.

It's a pity that Meng Xiangfei has the replica gun that Han Cheng brought to him last time, and his vision is also high, so he doesn't like Tang Ran's gun at all.

"What kind of gun are you? You can't even fire bullets." Meng Xiangfei said casually.

Immediately, Tang Ran became angry. His newest toy, a country bumpkin who had never seen anything before, dared to despise him, "What's wrong with no bullets, you don't have any yet!"

After all, Meng Xiangfei is still young, although Meng Shi is usually taught by the other party, he still compares himself with his peers. This is the nature of children, and it will not be changed for a while.

"I have it! My gun is much more powerful than yours!" Meng Xiangfei said proudly.

Tang Ran quit, how could he be compared to a country bumpkin?
"Just talk about it, you said you have a gun, then take it out and have a look, who wouldn't just talk big and brag!"

"Just take it, you wait."

After saying that, Meng Xiangfei ran into the house. He liked his gun very much, and he would take it with him everywhere. He hid the gun in a secret place, and no one else knew about it.

Soon, Meng Xiangfei took out a bag that looked like a badminton racket bag, unzipped it, and inside was a plastic imitation toy gun.

The shape of the gun is the classic sniper rifle AK47. This imitation gun has the same parts as the real gun, but it is not as powerful as the real gun. The caliber is designed to be small and can only hold very small plastic bullets.

But the power of this plastic bullet is not weak. If the aim is good, it can kill a bird more than ten meters away.

No introduction, no experiments, Tang Ran knew it was a good thing as soon as he saw the gun Meng Xiangfei took out.

He immediately leaned over, "Is this still capable of firing bullets?"

Meng Xiangfei said proudly, "Of course!"

With that said, Meng Xiangfei put the plastic bullet in and fired one round.

Then he hurried over to pick up the bullet.Because the number of plastic bullets is limited, they will be gone after shooting, so they must be recycled.

After watching Meng Xiangfei's demonstration, Tang Ran's saliva almost flowed down!
"Xiaofei, can we change things? Yours has been playing for so long, it's already old, and mine is still new!"

"No, I won't change it, I just like mine. The gun that can shoot bullets is a good gun, and you are a toy." Meng Xiangfei put the gun back into the bag while talking.

"For a change, I'll just play for a while. You used to play with so many of my toys." Tang Ran said.

Meng Xiangfei thought about it, he was right, Tang Ran gave him a lot of toys, although they were all broken, but for a rural child who had no toys at all, the broken ones were great.

"That's okay, but I can only play for you for a while. You shoot the bullets into the corner of the wall so that the bullets are easy to find. There are only [-] bullets, and they will be gone after you shoot them." Meng Xiangfei explained cautiously.

"Okay, okay, I know."

Tang Ran took the gun and couldn't wait to fire first.

The vibration from the gun body is very real, and the speed of the bullet is also very fast, just like a real gun.

"Xiao Fei, give me this gun. I'll exchange three toys with you. In addition to the gun that plays music just now, I'll give you a tank and a small plane. Is that okay?" Tang Ran asked eagerly.

Meng Xiangfei insisted on shaking his head, "No."

Tang Ran's expression was not good, "If you are told to change it, you can change it. You are a country bumpkin, what do you want such a good gun for?"

Meng Xiangfei doesn't quarrel at all, he just says, "I won't change, I want this."

Tang Ran suddenly ran up to his parents holding Meng Xiangfei's gun.

"Mom and Dad, I want this kind of gun too!"

Meng Xiangfei thought he was going to snatch the gun away, so he quickly chased after him, "I don't want your gun, I want mine."

Tang Ran ignored Meng Xiangfei and continued to pester third aunt and uncle, "I want this kind of gun too!"

The third aunt glanced at it, "I'll just buy it for you when I go back to the city, and things for rural children are also rare, as if I haven't seen the world before."

"Mom, this gun is different, I have never seen such a good gun."

"How good can it be? You are also greedy for things sold in the countryside."

"I don't care, I want this kind of thing!" Tang Ran said stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, I want it. Xiao Fei, you give this gun to Brother Tang, and Auntie will buy it for you, okay?" The third aunt looked at Meng Xiangfei.

"No, you can't buy it!" Meng Xiangfei refused without hesitation.

The third aunt's face was ugly, "Xiaofei, every time my aunt comes back, she brings clothes and toys for you, how kind to you! You just want a toy you have played with, and you refuse?"

Meng Xiangfei bit his lip, "Not this one, but everything else is fine."

Sangu's face became even more ugly, "Then we don't want anything else, what should we do if we only want this."

Meng Xiangfei is only a child who has just passed the age of seven and is only in the first grade of elementary school. He is completely unable to deal with the situation in front of him.

Among the few aunts, because the third aunt is married well, she has the right to speak. Every time she goes back to her mother's house, grandma will discuss with her about anything, and her opinions are more effective than anyone else's.

Over time, in the eyes of the Meng Shi siblings, Sangu is a symbol of authority.

Of course Meng Xiangfei was also afraid of Sangu, so his mouth immediately curled up uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.After all, he is still a child!
"Mom, look at this gun, it can still fire bullets, and it's not like the ones I bought before, it's just like a real gun." Tang Ran said excitedly.

Sangu nodded and looked at Meng Xiangfei, "That's it. Let me give you the gun, Brother Tang. Sangu will give you the money, and you can go buy a new one."

After speaking, Sangu took out five yuan and handed it to Meng Xiangfei.

At this time, five yuan is a lot.The children in the peasant family are given their pocket money on a daily basis, and they must be very happy if they can get a dime, let alone five yuan.

But Meng Xiangfei refused to take it, crying: "I don't want money, the gun I want is given to me by my elder brother Han Cheng."

It has to be said that Han Cheng is definitely good at coaxing children. When he came to Meng Shi's house, he showed his skills and made Meng Xiangfei admire him very much.Originally Meng Xiangfei called him uncle, but Han Chengfei said he was old and insisted on asking Meng Xiangfei to call him brother. Meng Xiangfei didn't think too much about it, and he could call him whatever he wanted, very well-behaved.

Now, Sangu was completely angry.

Her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, she didn't say a word, and even looked at Meng Xiangfei with a gloomy expression.

Meng Xiangfei was terrified of such a third aunt.

Immediately, he couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

"Why are you crying, I see you crying here twice every three days!" Grandma came from nowhere.

When the third aunt saw grandma, she laughed immediately, and said with some disdain: "Xiao Fei is really, I don't know how Qingshan and Caixia raised their children. They let him learn to be stingy at a young age. It's okay when they grow up." It’s not airy at all. When you go out and look at it, you’ll know it’s from the countryside.

Grandma was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"It's a little thing. Ran Ran saw that Xiao Fei's toy gun was very fun, and wanted to borrow it to play with it, but Xiao Fei refused, so he just cried there. Ran Ran is also new for a while, after playing with it, he will definitely not like it, Xiao Fei Boy, when I see something novel, I always want to touch it and play with it, and I won’t play it for a long time. When he is satisfied with the game, I will bring it back to Xiao Fei. But look at Xiao Fei, I will give him money to let him play. He played with the gun for a while, and then he cried. Hey, it’s true that those who come from the countryside are from the countryside, and they don’t have any atmosphere.”

Sangu's tone was very disdainful.

Grandma immediately glared at Meng Xiangfei, "I've been stingy like your mother all day long, isn't it just a broken toy, every time your brother Tang comes to bring you so many clothes and toys, you can't even have one of them? You're a bunch of selfish people."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tang Ran again, "Take it and play with it, it's yours."

Tang Ran immediately burst into a smile, holding the gun and looking for a place to shoot.

Meng Xiangfei was coaxed and frightened, crying and crying, but he didn't dare to go to his parents, let alone Meng Shi.

Children's hearts are sensitive, they will forget, but they remember what they really need to remember, don't think they don't understand anything.

Meng Xiangfei seemed to know that his sister Meng Shi was very impatient with grandma, and he hadn't forgotten what happened last time, his sister's anger.

So he didn't dare to tell his sister, so he had to hide in the corner and cry.

Meng Shi was busy helping his mother with the banquet, so he didn't care about Meng Xiangfei.

"Oh wow..."

Suddenly, an earth-shattering cry sounded in the lively farmyard.

People were taken aback for a moment, and then immediately someone ran over to watch.

It was terrible to see this, "Come on, someone's eyes are bleeding!"

boom.

The crowd exploded.

After all, there were so many people and there was a lot of chaos just now, people didn't quite know whose baby was crying.

At this moment, someone actually said that the baby's eyes are bleeding!
Immediately, many people ran over.

It was incredible to see this, there was really a baby whose eyes were bleeding, and was sitting on the ground covering his eyes and crying loudly.

Next to it were two helpless boys.

what happened!

The parents of the boy standing beside him hurriedly asked their children.

"Tang Ran was playing with a gun. Xu Ning wanted it, but Tang Ran wouldn't give it to him. The two of them grabbed it, and... then Tang Ran shot, and for some reason, he hit Xu Ning in the eye... ..."

In a few words, concise and clear.

Now everyone knows what's going on, there's no need to ask, the facts are obvious.

After all, these children were frightened by the adults, and they were not the parties involved. They were just the children of the neighbors around. They were not familiar with Tang Ran and Xu Ning, so they had no interest relationship. They must be telling the truth!
At this moment, someone had already called the eldest and third aunts over.

Tang Ran has already run away.

Meng Xiangfei was crying alone in the corner, and now he had finally had enough crying, playing with the grass on the ground by himself.

Tang Ran ran over suddenly, threw the gun into his arms, said "return it to you", and then ran away.

Meng Xiangfei was taken aback for a moment, still not understanding what was going on.

It's already blooming over there.

Auntie cried to death.

"Hurry to the hospital!"

Meng Qingshan had already driven the three-legged cat over, shouted loudly, and the aunt immediately carried Xu Ning into the car.The third uncle, Tang Guoqiang, also got into the car. After all, he has contacts in the city and knows people in the hospital.In addition to the fact that the other children said that his son had injured him, he naturally had to follow him to have a look.

Lu Caixia couldn't go, there was still a mess at home.

Grandma was about to die of anger, so she immediately looked around and asked what happened.

At the time of the incident, there were young boys onlookers present, so the matter was quickly clarified.

Grandma and Sangu both looked very ugly.

Sangu slapped Tang Ran's buttocks, "Did you do it, did you do it?"

The third aunt's face was so frightening that Tang Ran was frightened immediately.

"It's not me, it's not me, I didn't..."

"Who are you without?" Sangu was impatient.

At this moment, Meng Xiangfei came in with a gun in his hand.

Tang Ran immediately pointed at Meng Xiangfei, "It's him, look, the gun is still in his hand!"

Meng Xiangfei looked confused, he had no idea what happened.

"Snapped!"

Grandma came over immediately and slapped Meng Xiangfei on the face.

The corners of Meng Xiangfei's mouth were broken, a trace of blood hung on his lips, and Wuzhishan was swollen on his face.

Grandma was already in a fit of anger. Just now someone said that Tang Ran did it. How could grandma not believe it? She gave Tang Ran the gun.

But how could she be willing to beat her grandson from the city?
At this moment, all the anger was vented on Meng Xiangfei.

Meng Shi happened to come in from the door, and immediately saw this jaw-dropping scene!
She didn't care about anything anymore, and rushed into the house directly.

There is a one-meter-square, eighty-centimeter-high table in the room, which is used as a dining table for meals and as a tea table.

There are a dozen bowls on the table, filled with strong tea.

There are grandmothers, three aunts, and others.

Meng Shi rushed in and flipped the table over!
"Whoa!"

All the porcelain bowls on the table fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea leaves and tea splashed all over the floor. The water in some tea bowls was already cold, but the water in a few tea bowls had just been refilled and was still very hot.

When she lifted the table like this, the tea splashed all over, splashing on Grandma and Third Aunt.

"What are you doing!" Grandma screamed in an instant, the sound almost toppled the roof.
