Reborn Scholar

Chapter 34

The dumplings are almost finished.

Dad prepared the dishes, and mother took Meng Shi to clean up Han Cheng's room.

Meng Shi's house is the most old-fashioned, because the money is not enough, and the building is simple.

The two downstairs rooms are the main room, where people eat and drink tea, and the dark room in the corner is the bean sprouts room, where they soak bean sprouts.

Next to the dark room is the kitchen.

Then there are only two rooms upstairs that can actually live in people.

Originally, parents and younger brother lived in the east room, and Meng Shi lived in the west room, which was just right.

Now that Han Cheng is here, where are we going to put him!

Meng Shi said reluctantly, "Pack up my things and let him live in my room. Those who come from the city are used to sharing a room with each other."

Lu Caixia nodded, and she decided happily. It seemed that she had already planned in her heart, so she just waited for Meng Shi to nod.

Therefore, Meng Shi's family of four lived in the room on the east side, and Han Cheng was allowed to live in the room originally belonging to Meng Shi on the west side.

It is not uncommon for a family to squeeze into one room, and it is not worth mentioning at all.Before the house was built in the town, Meng Shi's family of four would all sleep in the old main room, like everyone else.

After all, Meng Shi was in his [-]s and [-]s mentally, so he naturally wouldn't be like a real child, who didn't care about hygiene and just cared about playing.

Her room is still very clean, and the quilt is taken out to dry every week, the sheets are changed, and the quilt is also changed every month.

This was obviously unimaginable in the countryside at that time, and many people changed their clothes every month in winter.

At first, Lu Caixia also felt strange about Meng Shi's actions, but after a long time, she got used to it, and it was nothing.

Even with them, they followed Meng Shi's hygiene habits.Therefore, the Meng family is much cleaner than other rural families these days.

There are clean sheets, mattresses, and clean quilts in the cabinet.

The bed is a simple wooden bed, but it looks good with mats, quilts, clean sheets, clean pillows, and cotton quilts stored in the cabinet under the sun.

Sweep the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the whole house is cleaned up and down, without spider webs or anything.

This is especially true of Meng Shi's room.

After tidying up like this, it looks much cleaner than the hotels in small county towns.

Obviously, Han Cheng was also very satisfied with this.

Mom helped Meng Shi make the bed together, so she went downstairs to help Dad get the vegetables.

Han Cheng folded his arms and leaned against the door frame, looking critically at the room, "It's okay."

The corner of Meng Shi's mouth twitched, and he didn't bother to talk to him.

Han Cheng walked in, habitually unzipped the down jacket, and wanted to take off the coat.

But as soon as he pulled it away, he couldn't help shivering, and suddenly remembered, this is not City B, there is no heating.I had no choice but to put on my clothes resentfully.

Meng Shi tidied up the things on the table. Sometimes she would put things on the table directly after writing. Anyway, everyone in the family knew that, so don't mess with even a piece of paper in her room.

If you continue to leave it now, it will look messy, so it's better to tidy it up.

Han Cheng came over, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, "What did you write, let me appreciate it first?"

"This." Meng Shi took out the famous sayings and epigrams from the crudely printed white paper, and threw them to Han Cheng.

Han Cheng glanced at it and threw it aside, pouted, "What's so interesting about this."

Meng Shi's hands that were arranging the desk stopped, and turned to look at Han Cheng, "Why on earth did you come to my house? Don't use the same rhetoric that coaxes my parents, I don't believe it."

Han Cheng stared at Meng Shi, blinked, and suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand to rub Meng Shi's head, "You are so narrow-minded."

Meng Shi was angry, she hated others rubbing her head, she never liked it since she was a child, not to mention she is still a mature adult now.

"Don't touch my head!" Meng Shi glared at Han Cheng.

"Angry?" Han Cheng smiled strangely.

Meng Shi glared at him, turned and walked away.The second child is the most annoying!
"Hey, you won't be really angry. I apologize to you. I didn't know that you don't like being touched on the head. I often touch Pippi like this at home, and he is not angry at all!"

Meng Shi took a deep breath, I will bear it, I will bear it.

"Okay, it's alright if I stop being like this in the future. Didn't you just ask me why I came here, do you still want to listen?" Han Cheng's voice was a little lazy.

Meng Shi rolled his eyes, "Say."

"Pfft, little girl, you're really realistic." Han Cheng smiled, cleared his throat, "I'm running away from home."

"..." Meng Shi was speechless.

"Hey, what kind of eyes do you have? I can't run away from home."

"..."

"Okay, okay, it's okay to tell you. My mother introduced a girl to me. They are all from our circle anyway. Getting married is good for both of them. I didn't think much of it at first. The girl looks like It's not disabled, and it's not annoying. But after only two days of contact, the girl told me that she wanted to let me go into an official career. Anyway, the meaning behind the words was to let me compete with my brother to be the future boss of the Han family I said that I don't like being an official, but she said that there is no future in business, and the status of a businessman is low. If you become an official, you are afraid that you will have no money? The original words are not like that, but the meaning is the same anyway. "

Han Cheng sighed, his eyes were a little lonely, "I don't want to compete with my brother. My brother is born to be an official, I can't, I can't stand the constraints of the officialdom. Doing business... At least be free, although people will look down on you. But I am not the head of the family in the future, why should I care so much?"

Meng Shi blinked, the little bit of anger just now had completely disappeared.

Sure enough, rich people have a lot of right and wrong.

At this time, people generally think that businessmen are not a good thing. Of course, it is also because of the ten years of WG, and the influence of the so-called capitalist roaders, capitalism is bloodwashing, etc. Many people still look down on them. merchant.While envious of businessmen, while despising businessmen.

Meng Shi paused, then analyzed, "You like that girl, but you don't want to be an official like the girl said, so you got entangled and depressed, so you ran away from home? What kind of logic is this?"

"Who likes her! It was introduced by my mother. I don't think she is too annoying. If we can get along, I don't mind continuing to develop. Anyway, we can only choose in our own circle. It doesn't matter who we choose. We can get along well." Just come. But she said that, I can't accept it at all. Even if I make a living, I have to find someone who has the same goals as me, who can understand me and support my ideas. I don't want to be an official, she wants me to be an official, After that, the family won't be in a mess." Han Cheng was a little furious.

Meng Shi was even more speechless, "Since you don't like her, it's fine to talk to someone else. There's no need to get entangled. Why is there any need to run away from home?"

Meng Shi's stare, which clearly despised his IQ, made Han Cheng very upset.

"I... I'm actually because of my mother." When Han Cheng said this, he was immediately discouraged, "My elder brother and I are not the same mother. My mother was married to my father later. It's time to die."

Meng Shi's mind froze for a while, but he soon came to his senses, "Oh, actually, what that girl meant was what your mother meant. So what you're struggling with is not because that girl doesn't agree with your ideas, but because your mother doesn't agree with your ideas. No. Right?"

"clever!"

"..." You're so smart, you almost said it outright, if she still can't figure it out, doesn't the double Q need to be recharged!

"So you ran away from home? Demonstrating with your mother?" Meng Shi raised his eyebrows.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Han Cheng's face, why did the word "demonstration" sound so strange, making him look like an ignorant child.

"It's nothing, just hiding. My mother said that the girl's network will be beneficial to my career in the future, so that I can get along well with her, and the girl is also very self-conscious and can be helpful to me, so I invited that girl. The girl went to my house to celebrate the New Year. I... I was too lazy to socialize, so I ran away under the pretext of having something to do."

"...Haha, really clever." The corner of Meng Shi's mouth twitched.

Han Cheng stared at her, "Is this irony?"

"Ha ha."

"Smelly girl, you are reading a joke, right? Anyway, I have helped you a lot, and it's fine if you don't comfort me, but you still read my joke!"

"No, I was just wondering, how old are you?"

"I'll be 19 after the new year, what does my age have to do with it! Anyway, I won't get married so early."

"I'm 19, so I should have already passed the second term of middle school."

"What second term?"

"……Ha ha."

Meng Shi never expected that Han Cheng, who is so talented in business, would be like this secretly. He couldn't handle such a trivial matter in her opinion?

Or is it because one's own family is involved, people will inevitably look forward and backward?Are you a fan of the authorities?
Han Cheng said again, "My mother, she always feels that our mother and son are not valued in the Han family. In fact, she has no scheming, and people can see her thoughts at a glance. Eldest brother has a talent for being an official. The family also focused on cultivating him, and he himself strives for success. When outsiders mention it, they all say that Han Lin is the leader of that generation. Then, I seemed to have no sense of existence, completely buried by the glory of the big brother This made my mother very reconciled. She felt that I shouldn't be so bad. But I don't need my brother's sense of presence. Others think that my elder brother is bright and bright, and has a bright future, but I know very well that my elder brother is very hard. There is also a lot of pressure. The officialdom is simply the most dangerous place, and you can't make a mistake in one step, otherwise it is very likely that the whole family will be affected..."

Meng Shi listened to Han Cheng's words in silence, she knew he needed a listener right now.

"I know a secret of my brother's, but no one has said it. In fact, he likes architecture, and his dream is to be an architect. He was admitted to a famous international architecture school, but in the end, he still went to B University. Because he is the eldest grandson of the family, he needs to take responsibility. Grandpa talked to him all night, and the next day he tore up the admission notice of the School of Architecture with his own hands. I hid secretly at the door at that time, and I can still clearly hear my eldest brother The look in your eyes when you tore up that notice. Sigh.”

"Then have you told your elder brother what you think?" Meng Shi asked, "What does he think?"

Han Cheng chuckled, "Brother said, it's enough for the Han family to have him alone, and let me do whatever I want. But when I told my mother, she said that brother was trying to dispel my idea of ​​becoming an official and let me do whatever I want." I don't want to be aggressive and so on. I don't want to listen, I quarreled with her and left."

Meng Shi suddenly felt that his hands were itchy, as if they were swollen from beating someone?
"Are you going to stay at my house for a few days?"

"Why, are you driving me away?" Han Cheng glared at him immediately.

"If there is such a child in my family who runs away from home every now and then and doesn't come home on New Year's Eve, I don't trust him to make his own decisions. Maybe he is still naive and doesn't even think about it. So what's the matter?" I'll make a decision for him first, maybe it's the right one." Meng Shi said lightly.

Han Cheng's face froze, and then he realized that a suspicious red color appeared on the base of his ears.

He could tell that Meng Shi was speaking to him.It means that he is so naive, his mother will only take care of more.

"I'll be back in two days." Han Cheng said in a low voice.

Meng Shi curled his lips and didn't say anything more. Han Cheng didn't need her to educate him.He just... can't turn around in his own family affairs. After all, he is only 19 years old. Even though he has a strong business talent, he is not a real old fritter after all.

Before dinner at night, Han Cheng made a phone call. The phone was in the room, and no one knew what he was talking about.

On the first day of the new year, Meng Shi was going to his godmother's house.

Presents are very simple, usually fried dough sticks, plus two packs of sugar or biscuits.

Han Cheng didn't leave until the second year of junior high school, and he had nothing to do, so he insisted on going to her godmother's house with Meng Shi.

Meng Shi was very helpless, but it was really not good to leave him alone at home.

So, Han Cheng drove Meng Shi's family back to the old house. Meng Shi and his younger brother had to pay New Year's greetings to their grandparents first.

All the presents that Han Cheng brought were placed in Meng Shi's house, and he didn't intend to bring them to others.

Meng Shi, on the other hand, thought that if Han Cheng wanted to go back to the village with them, he should take something.I grabbed some of the candies he brought and took them to the old house, and distributed them to the children around me.

In addition, I took a few packs of good cigarettes that I couldn't buy locally, and I gave two packs to my grandpa and two packs to my grandma when I went home, which was considered the best gift.

When a car arrives in the village, it will definitely attract crowds.

Meng Shi's family definitely couldn't afford a car, so the surrounding neighbors were particularly interested in Han Cheng who drove a car.

Surrounded by a group of aunts, Meng Shi's face turned green when he saw Han Cheng.

Meng Shi, who had had enough laughing, coughed lightly, rescued Han Cheng kindly, and said to his parents, "I'm going to my godmother's house."

"I'm going too." Meng Xiangfei also chased after him.

Because the road inside was not easy to drive, Han Cheng parked the car in front of the Meng family's old house.The three of them walked to Meng Shi's godmother's house.

Meng Shi brought a box of biscuits and a box of instant noodles as gifts to his godmother's house. He also took a bottle of Moutai brought by Han Cheng and two boxes of red panda cigarettes for his godfather.

When I arrived at the godmother's house, the godmother knew about it a long time ago, even the tea was poured, the room was swept clean, and the table was wiped clean.

The godfather is a veteran, and he participated in the battle to liberate Qiongdao before, and later participated in the construction of Qiongdao, unexpectedly, he had a lot of topics to chat with Han Cheng.

Early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, Han Cheng left.

From then until the eighth day of the lunar new year, Meng Shi's time was wasted in the process of going to various relatives.

In her spare time, she is not idle. In addition to continuing to consolidate her English knowledge in the three years of junior high school, she has adapted the play of Xiao.

It is obvious that movies cannot include all the plots in the novel, so adaptation is very important. It is really not an easy task to make a story complete, logical and climaxed, and to control the time well.

What she wrote was just a normal script, almost all of which were in the flow of dialogue, and the description of the scene was usually a few words, at most only one or two sentences, without unnecessary embellishments at all.As for the shot script, that's the job of the director and assistant director, and she doesn't plan to intervene.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, she went to the city, found a fax machine with great difficulty and sent the script to Han Cheng, and after Han Cheng found a translator to translate it, she sent it to Golden Globe Films in M ​​country.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, the school starts.

Fourteenth, the school is on holiday and the Lantern Festival is celebrated.

Eighteenth, uncle and Qin Xin's wedding!
Meng Shi was very happy. Grandma's health was obviously much better than last year, and her blood pressure was under control.The most important thing is that grandma has perseverance, and she has successfully lost more than ten catties.

And the original grandmother died within the last year, but until now, the grandmother is still fine, doesn't this already explain the problem!
There is also the brightest evidence now, that the eldest aunt has changed.

Meng Shi really felt that the day was quite bright!

The day was exceptionally smooth.

1990年10月，R经指数从1989年12月的三万9000多点，跌到了两万点。

Han Cheng called her immediately to inform her, and he was so excited.

Meng Shi asked him, "Will it continue to fall?"

Han Cheng did not hesitate, "It will definitely fall. Didn't I tell you a while ago that Iraq invaded Kuwait and directly overthrew the Kuwaiti government. Country M is now discussing with the United Nations how to sanction Iraq? It is estimated that force will be used in all likelihood. Country R has no oil of its own and relies on imports. If war breaks out, country R will definitely fall into extreme panic, and the stock price will definitely plummet again. However, I can’t care about R shares for the time being. , I put my money in oil! You know what? Because of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the oil supply chain is broken, and the price of oil is literally skyrocketing right now!"

"Soaring?" Meng Shi was a little surprised. She didn't know much about the oil crisis in 90, but she had heard of it.

Han Cheng laughed again, "It won't take long. Most of the Arab countries produce oil, and OPEC is not just a show. If the oil price soars, OPEC will definitely increase production. Similarly, country M will not sit idly by and watch the oil price rise sharply, yes. Country M’s economy will suffer a severe setback. Therefore, oil prices will soon fall.”

Meng Shi was extremely impressed!

Han Cheng's analysis was based entirely on the data and the international situation, and it was infinitely close to the truth.

No wonder Han Cheng had such a terrifying net worth later on.

That's right, even if the major families in Huaxia were rich, it was in RMB. The country's foreign exchange is scarce, so it is naturally impossible for them to have much foreign exchange.Meng Shi was still wondering how Han Cheng got rich.

Now, she has fully understood.

Han Cheng's capital was accumulated through such financial surfing again and again!
Apart from admiration, Meng Shi had no idea what to say.

You must know that at this time, although Iraq has invaded Kuwait and the whole world is condemning it, most countries still do not think that the M Congress will launch a war for this. You must know that this may be World War III.

But Han Cheng was sure that country M would definitely launch a war, and he even guessed about the next measures that country M would take to deal with the oil crisis.This insight is so keen... I have no friends!
On January 1991, 1, the Gulf War broke out.

At this time, Meng Shi was preparing for his final exam in the first semester of the fifth grade of primary school. It was cold and the Chinese New Year was coming soon.

On February 2, the Gulf War ended and Iraq accepted UN resolutions.

At this time, Meng Shi was preparing for the Lantern Festival.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the primary school entrance examination.

Primary school is still a five-year system.Although it is said to be a junior high school, in fact, no matter what the test scores are, they can go to junior high school. The difference is that they go to the first junior high school in the town or the second junior high school in Tianying Village.

This exam was still very easy for Meng Shi.

After the exam, it's summer vacation.

During the summer vacation, all preparations were completed and the machine was turned on.

Meng Shi's script was fully accepted by Jinqiu, and it is said that the director liked it very much, but the movie will be slightly longer, about 150 minutes.

And the investment will be around 8000 million US dollars.

Under Meng Shi's suggestion, Han Cheng only invested 2000 million US dollars as a pure investor.

It was at this time that Meng Shi realized that when he invested in shorting R shares, the 1000 or [-] million US dollars that Han Cheng invested was all the funds he could mobilize!
Mentioning this, Meng Shi had to admire his boldness.

And his boldness has definitely paid off.

Coupled with the subsequent oil investment, Han Cheng's current assets may have already exceeded one billion US dollars.

Even Meng Shi's 500 U.S. dollars in capital, which was placed with Han Cheng, has now become [-] million U.S. dollars!

Therefore, investing 2000 million in movies, Han Cheng is really able to do it.

Meng Shi was very grateful, because Han Cheng admitted that he didn't know much about the film industry, but after hearing what she said, he still invested.Rather than saying that he invested in movies, it is better to say that what he invested in was actually her confidence.

Half a month after the elementary school graduation exam, Meng Shi got the notice.

Chinese 97, Mathematics 100.

The whole family is beaming.

No matter how much money you make, it doesn't make them happier than your own children's good grades.

On September 9st, junior high school starts.

The class Meng Shi was assigned to was Class [-], Junior One.

Elementary school also started on this day, Meng Shi and Meng Xiangfei refused to let adults see him off, so she sent her younger brother to the third grade classroom.

Her younger brother is almost two years younger than her. She went to school a little earlier, and her younger brother was a little later, so there was a three-year gap in schoolwork between the two.

After seeing off her younger brother, she went to the junior high school next door.

When I arrived in the classroom, the classroom was already full of students, and the class teacher was already standing on the podium.

Meng Shi came a little late, and he was a little embarrassed under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Are you Meng Shi? You didn't come during the roll call just now." The head teacher smiled, "I'm Wang Li, the head teacher of Class One, Junior One."

Meng Shi hurriedly said seriously, "Hi, teacher."

"Well, come in, don't be late for class in the future."

Meng Shi quickly agreed, and hurried into the classroom, but he was thinking in his heart, if he really studies well, he will receive a lot of preferential treatment.

If it is a poor student, the teacher is sure that the nose is not the nose and the face is not the face.

After entering the classroom, Meng Shi found that the seats in front were taken up by classmates who came earlier, so she didn't care and sat directly in the back.

Generally, students in the first grade of junior high school are 12 or even 34 years old. Meng Shi, who is only two months away from his 11th birthday, is obviously a little young.

When he sat down at the back, Meng Shi saw that his deskmate...

"Qi Chuan?" Meng Shi smiled.

Qi Chuan glanced at her and nodded expressionlessly.

Meng Shi was speechless, seeing Qi Chuan's expression of a little adult, she wanted to reach out and pull his face to see if his face was stiff.

The teacher said again, "Okay, I will select a few class leaders first, and then we will adjust the seats. The students whose names I have called, stand up and let the students know."

"Squad leader, Qi Chuan; study committee member, Meng Shi; Chinese class representative, Lu Huanhuan; math class representative..."

Then there is the seat adjustment.

To adjust the seats, the head teacher asked everyone to stand out first according to the list he had arranged. She called one and entered the other.

Meng Shi really received preferential treatment.

Sitting in the middle of the third row is the best position in the entire classroom.And her deskmate is Qi Chuan.

Today's teachers don't say that good students and poor students sit together, so they are afraid that poor students will bring down good students, so naturally they want to sit together with good students.

It can be said that the first four rows all have good grades, and the rest are casual.

The first day of junior high school is actually a time that Meng Shi hates very much.

She didn't remember that she used to have a classmate named Qi Chuan.

However, the other students in the class should not have changed.

It was also a long time later that Meng Shi found out that Qi Chuan was supposed to be a year older than her...

The reason why Meng Shi didn't like the first grade of junior high school was very simple, because of the Chinese teacher in the first grade of junior high school, she was super disgusting.

This teacher, according to later generations, is a pervert.

He punishes students, always likes to pinch their faces or ears.

If it's a boy, he just pinches someone's ear, and a girl pinches his face.

Children of this age already have self-esteem, and other things like hitting their palms, but fortunately, pinching someone's face is really disgusting.

Meng Shi was pinched in the face by this teacher before, because when he silently wrote new characters, he made a mistake.

It can be said that the students in the first class of junior high school are most afraid of the Chinese class, even more afraid of the class taught by the head teacher Wang Li who teaches mathematics.

Although Teacher Wang Li is strict, she will not have these perverted behaviors.

Back then, after Meng Shi was pinched by the Chinese teacher, she went home so angry that she cried for a long time, and then she wanted to transfer classes, but the school's Academic Affairs Office refused to transfer her life or death.

Meng Shi clearly remembered that there was another girl in the class at that time, her face was pinched and swollen, her parents came to find her, but in the end nothing happened.

Parents now believe that children will be beaten if they are disobedient. It is definitely right for teachers to educate children, but they are afraid that teachers will not educate them!
Now sitting in this class again, Meng Shi felt his face hurt for no reason.

However, she is not the same Meng Shi from before. If that perverted Chinese teacher dares to pinch her again, hmph, she will definitely make him look good!

After the seats are arranged, the class teacher asked the monitor to take some people to move the books and come back to distribute the books.

This kind of work, the class cadres should take the lead.

Meng Shi also stood up, but Qi Chuan frowned at her, "You don't have to go."

Meng Shi blinked and watched Qi Chuan call several other boys to go out together.

The other students in the class looked at Meng Shi inexplicably, and Meng Shasha in front asked Meng Shi, "Did you offend the monitor? Otherwise, why wouldn't he let you go?"

That's right, in the hearts of students at this time, it is an honor to be handed over by the teacher or the class leader to help with things in the class, such as distributing books, and everyone wants to grab it.

Meng Shi frowned, "No way?"

"Then why won't he let you go. Hehe, don't you think you're not pleasing?" Meng Shasha joked.

Meng Shi pouted, "Whatever."

However, she did not quite understand Qi Chuan's thoughts.

Soon, seeing Qi Chuan brought the others back to move the books together, she seemed to understand a little...

Junior high school textbooks are no longer small ones, but big ones.

There are more than 60 students in a class, and there are so many textbooks in Chinese, mathematics, English, history, politics, and geography. Each person only carries thirty or forty books, which are also very heavy.

The boys are fine, but girls like Lu Huanhuan, the language class representative, and Lin Lin, the entertainment committee member, are very tired.

Meng Shi looked at Qi Chuan suspiciously. Could it be that he didn't let her go because he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to move it?
