Reborn Scholar

Chapter 49

The 22th of the twelfth lunar month.

Qi Chuan came to return the motorcycle.

After these two days, Meng Shi had calmed down.

In any case, she still wanted to ask clearly, she couldn't just give up just like that.

It was her fault, she shouldn't have pointed it out to Qi Chuan on a whim.Since you are wrong, avoiding is not the solution to the problem, you can only face it!

When Qi Chuan came, both Meng Qingshan and Lu Caixia went out to the street, and younger brother Meng Xiangfei also went out with his classmates.

"Xiao Fei isn't here?" Qi Chuan said with a smile.

Meng Shi hummed, "He went to the junior high school playground to play basketball with his classmates."

Qi Chuan looked at Meng Shi with a smile, holding a bag of walnuts in his hand, "Don't you like to eat dried fruit, this is from my tree, the skin is very thin."

With that said, he took one, squeezed it open with his hands, peeled off the nuts and handed it to Meng Shi.

Meng Shi was also polite, took the nut directly from his hand, tasted it, "It's really delicious."

"I like it, I'll bring it to you next time, there are many more." Qi Chuan was very happy.

The two of them were at home, and Meng Shi was a little embarrassed, so he suggested going for a walk.

Meng Shi's house is on the outskirts of the town, and there are fields within a short walk.The two of them walked slowly on the field path.

The wheat fields are green and the wheat is swaying with the wind. The fields and roads are full of withered grass, and the winter atmosphere is very strong.

"Qi Chuan, am I delicate?" Meng Shi kicked the bumps on the road as he walked.

"I don't think so."

"Really? Don't lie to me. I don't need others to tell me. I like delicious food and fun. I also like beautiful clothes. I like a comfortable and comfortable life. My mother said that I was born in the countryside but I was born as a young lady. .Actually, I think I'm very capable. It's not that I haven't done the tiring farm work before. I can also cook and wash clothes. It's just that when I can't do it, I'm too lazy to do it... Cough, not enough Diligence is true." Meng Shi laughed.

Qi Chuan always had a smile on his face, "Leave all these to me from now on."

"Really? You do the laundry, cooking and housework?" Meng Shi asked intentionally.

"Well, it's easier for me to do."

"Hey, what do you mean!" Meng Shi stared.

Qi Chuan looked at Meng Shi with a smile, "It would be more convenient for me to do it myself."

"Are you despising me?"

"Of course not, I just want to do something for you." Qi Chuan smiled and showed his white teeth, "I am very happy to have the opportunity to do this for you."

"..." Meng Shi didn't speak, but his heart was very sweet.

Ever since he heard his mother introduce Qi Chuan's family the day he came back, Meng Shi has been torn in his heart, in a dilemma.

In all fairness, Qi Chuan is really an excellent husband-in-law, but she doesn't want to deal with the possible war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she doesn't know what to do.In addition, she already told Qi Chuan that it was impossible for her to say something like 'because your mother has a bad reputation, I don't want to talk to you about friends', right?

But later, Meng Shi figured it out.

She doesn't want to delay too long.

Although I have a good impression of Qi Chuan now, and I can't bear to part with such a good man, but short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.

It is of course best that things can be resolved now, no matter whether it is cooperation or division.

It has been dragged on for a long time, we have been together for a long time, and the relationship is deep. If we get along, it will be good, but if we break up, it will definitely hurt if we break up when the time comes!

"Qi Chuan, are you really going to spoil me so much?"

"Ah."

"Then how long can you last? It's not good to spend three days fishing and two days drying the net."

Qi Chuan laughed, "Have you seen what I do, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days?"

"...It seems that there are really none."

"Then don't worry?"

"It's not that you're worried." Meng Shi blinked, "By the way, Qi Chuan, you've been at Q University for more than two years, haven't you met any other girls you like? I don't believe it."

"I'm too busy studying, so I don't have time. Besides, our department is a famous monk department, and all of them are boys." Qi Chuan smiled slightly, and looked at Meng Shi with burning eyes.

Meng Shi blushed slightly, "Hmph, you also said that you don't have time. Then if you have time and a chance to meet more beauties, will you still remember me? Men are all playboys."

Qi Chuan stopped.

Meng Shi took two steps forward, and found that Qi Chuan hadn't caught up, so he couldn't help turning his head, "Why, are you guilty?"

The smile on Qi Chuan's face subsided, and there was only seriousness in his eyes, "From time to time, the only girl I see in my eyes is you, and the others have no gender. I remember everything you explained on the train. I don't know much about it. But I will learn. I will not be ambiguous with any girl, and I will not make you uncomfortable. You are uncomfortable...I feel bad. "

Meng Shi didn't expect him to be so direct, and he blushed for a while.

It was as if she was forcing him to speak sweet words.

"Who cares about you?" Meng Shi ignored him and walked forward quickly.

Qi Chuan caught up with him in three steps and two steps, grabbed Meng Shi's hand, and held her, "You don't care."

"..." Meng Shi was about to retreat.

No matter how big or small a man is, is he making rapid progress in making girls happy?

Compared with talent, Meng Shi is more willing to believe in sincerity.Because this man really has you in his heart, he is willing to do everything for you, and he is willing to soothe all your restlessness and restlessness.Those who say they have no talent are just because they don't want to.

Meng Shi suddenly realized that he was even more reluctant.Missed Qi Chuan, where would she find another one like this?
But she also believed that if she continued to get along with Qi Chuan, she would be in a lot of pain when it really came to a head.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Shi made up his mind.

"Qi Chuan, tell me about your childhood, I want to hear it. Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Well. At the crossroads, the restaurant." Qi Chuan's eyes were shining brightly, like stars twinkling in the black night, "You deliberately dropped the fried dough stick in my bowl. The action...was stupid, and then you just stuffed it to me. "

Meng Shi coughed lightly and didn't speak, she thought this incident hurt Qi Chuan's self-esteem.Because Qi Chuan never mentioned this matter after they met in junior high school or even high school.

"I was thinking at the time, this little girl is really annoying."

Meng Shi's face darkened.

"But I like it very much, so I was thinking, let her bother me alone in the future, and don't bother other people."

"You're annoying!" Meng Shi was speechless.

Qi Chuan smiled happily, the smile reaching his eyes.

"Well, in fact, I thought at the time that you are too kind. If no one looks at you, you will definitely suffer."

"... Am I that stupid?"

"Fortunately."

"..." Meng Shi was completely speechless.

Qi Chuan squeezed her hand, his voice was a little low, "Shishi, I really like you so much."

Meng Shi's heart skipped a beat.

"I don't think I'll ever like anyone else the way I like you again."

Meng Shi's face was very red, "Why did I suddenly think of saying this?"

Qi Chuan smiled, "Because I am so happy. I have been uneasy for many years, and finally... I have a feeling that I can't believe it."

"Slick tongue." Meng Shi glared at Qi Chuan, "You obviously want to talk about your childhood, why bring it up on me."

Qi Chuan frowned, as if he was a little distressed, "When I was a child... the most vivid memory in my memory was you. Was that also when I was a child?"

"Are you asking for a fight?"

"Actually, when I was young, my second sister brought me up. At that time, my mother and my eldest sister went to work in the south, and there was only my second sister at home, with my third sister and me. Later, when my eldest sister was getting married, my mother came back. My favorite when I was young My favorite thing is to go to Uncle Tian’s house in the east of the village. Uncle Tian is a teacher, and there are many children in the family. Every day, he will reason with the children or teach them to read. I’m just learning.” Qi Chuan said very calm.

Meng Shi was a little nervous.

She was hesitating whether to continue asking, but unexpectedly, Qi Chuan spoke first.

"Occasionally, in fact, things in my family made me feel inferior to others when I was a child. If there is no enlightenment and education from Uncle Tian, ​​I may always have low self-esteem."

"self-abasement?"

"Well. My father died not long after I was born, and his reputation is not good. I don't remember him at all, and I don't even have a picture. My mother took my eldest sister to work again, leaving behind my second sister, third sister and me. At home, many people said that my mother didn't want us anymore." Qi Chuan sighed, "Thinking about it now, life was really sad at that time. Fortunately, I survived."

Meng Shi bit her lip, she really didn't know what to say.

"My mother is a bit biased. She treats me very well, but treats my sisters... Hey, I have said it many times, but she doesn't listen. I can only enlighten my sister in private. She is a bit aggressive, but she doesn't care. Bad. You will know after getting along with each other in the future." Qi Chuan smiled.

Meng Shi was a little apprehensive.

Reminiscent of what his mother said, Qi Chuan's mother is more than partial to her children.

But the son doesn't think his mother is ugly, in Qi Chuan's eyes, his mother is of course good.

In addition, Qi Chuan often goes to school outside, so he doesn't often hear those gossips, maybe he doesn't know how outsiders evaluate his mother.

Meng Shi pretended to be relaxed and said, "Your mother loves you so much, if she knows that you will help me with everything, she won't eat me."

Qi Chuan smiled, "No, she also really wants a daughter-in-law."

Meng Shi's face darkened, "I haven't written the horoscope yet."

"Whoever said it, I will recognize you. Shi Shi, don't forget, you promised me. It's too late to regret it now."

"...Then if your mother doesn't like me, I can't do anything."

"She will definitely like you. You are so beautiful and kind. The most important thing is that if I like you, she will like you too. I believe in my own eyes." Qi Chuan smiled happily.

Meng Shi asked again, "Did you mention me to her?"

Qi Chuan nodded, "She urged me several times before, and I kept saying that I was busy with school and didn't have time. This time she asked again when I came back, so I just said."

"Then does she know it's me?"

"Ah."

"...Hey, why did you just say it! We just started talking, okay? Who knows if it will happen in the future. I said it so early, and I wasn't mentally prepared at all. I haven't told my parents yet!" Meng Shi was a little anxious.

Qi Chuan's eyes darkened, "Shishi, are you angry?"

"No, I... I just think, Qi Chuan, don't you think it's too early to tell your mother now?"

"It's getting late. Although you just promised me, I have liked you for [-] years."

"How can there be [-] years?"

"It's been eight years since we first met."

"..." Meng Shi was speechless, "How can it be counted?"

"Yes. Shishi, why don't you believe me? I only like you, and I only recognize you."

"You can decide the future now? Life is still long."

"Of course."

Meng Shi pursed his lips, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Qi Chuan, I'm not a casual person, I...I promise you, I just want to live with you in the future. So if your mother doesn't like me If so... we can avoid detours."

Qi Chuan's face suddenly changed, "Shishi, what do you mean?"

"that is……"

"You mean, if my mother doesn't like you, you shouldn't be with me?" Qi Chuan's voice was terribly gloomy.

Meng Shi bit his lip, "Family is very important..."

"You are important too!" Qi Chuan roared.

Meng Shi fell silent.

She didn't know how to tell Qi Chuan.

No matter how calm and composed Qi Chuan is, he is still just a boy and a man. He doesn't understand marriage, life, and some things can't be happy by forcing them.

Both were silent.

After a while, Qi Chuan said, "When you are so good, my mother will definitely like you. And...and even if she can't see your goodness now, she will definitely know it in the future."

After sending Qi Chuan away, Meng Shi became entangled again.

If she followed her way of thinking, it would be to go directly to see Qi Chuan's mother, so that everything could be settled.

But in this day and age, it is not open enough. If she is a girl who goes to his house with Qi Chuan, the rumors outside will not know how it will be spread. Even if she doesn't mind, her parents and family members also mind.

What's more, she hasn't told her parents about Qi Chuan yet.

Meng Shi had a hunch that if she told her mother, she agreed to the relationship with Qi Chuan's boyfriend and girlfriend before she knew it. Although they didn't do anything, her mother would not let her off easily!
Meng Shi was still struggling with what to do, but he didn't know that the opportunity to meet would come so soon, and it would be so unforgettable.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Meng Shi helped my aunt look after the booth.

My aunt has already set up a store in the town, which sells daily necessities on weekdays, and will display all kinds of fresh new year's goods during the Spring Festival.

Meng Shi was a little bored in the past two days, and couldn't write anything, so he simply went to help his aunt look after the booth.

There are quite a lot of people at the annual collection.

Auntie, this shop has been open for a long time. It has a good reputation with small profits but quick turnover, and there are still many repeat customers.

It's not too busy on weekdays, so my aunt and uncle can take care of me.Now it's the New Year's Eve, busy, my uncle's family can't count on it, and my grandparents can't come every day, so Meng Shi thought of coming to help.

If you have something to do, you don't have to think about it.

Meng Shi was very quick at picking up goods, packing bags, and collecting money.

"How much is this barrel?"

"[-] yuan. This is the largest size, and there are medium and small ones." Meng Shi replied with a smile, while the other side was still collecting the bill. "It's [-] yuan in total, I'll ask you for two."

"This bucket costs 50 yuan, which is so expensive." The woman looked about [-] to [-] years old, very dark and thin, with deep nasolabial folds.This kind of appearance is not uncommon in rural areas.

"This kind of glue is good, and it won't break if you drop it on the ground."

"If you really can't break it, then I'll try it." The woman said directly.

Meng Shi twitched the corners of his mouth, "Here's a sample, take this and throw it. As long as you don't drop it on sharp rocks, it won't break. It's all new over there. It's not good if you get scratched after falling. Sell."

"Then who knows that your product is the same as the ones sold here?" The woman insisted, "In my opinion, this bucket is at most two and a half yuan, and it's really black-hearted to sell it for four yuan."

Meng Shi was speechless, "My store has been open for several years, and the old customers know how good the reputation is. It's not easy to say whether it's expensive or not. Ma'am, you can compare it with other stalls. It's normal to shop around. .If mine is too expensive, you can buy someone else’s. If theirs is too expensive, you can come back again.”

"Hey, you are the one who does business like this. If I say a word, you can say ten words. Your family is the only one who sells things on the street. Don't let people say that things are expensive, profiteer."

Meng Shi's face turned cold.

Although it is said that doing business should always greet people with a smile, for Meng Shi, it is better not to have such guests and save trouble and worry.

I can't make two cents, which makes me feel unhappy, and it's not worth it at all.

"I've said it all, you can compare the prices of other houses before deciding whether to buy it or not. I don't have to sell it to you."

"What kind of attitude do you have! No wonder people say that profiteers are black-hearted and rotten things. It's true that you hit capitalism at that time, and the country was ruined by you gang of black-hearted and rotten things!"

"Walk slowly." Meng Shi suppressed his anger and saw off the guests.

"Hey, don't let people tell you that you are black-hearted and rotten. I have never seen this kind of business, driving the buyers out. Everyone, come and listen, is there such a business? No wonder how this business is done. It’s like this, you won’t be able to make a fortune for the rest of your life!”

Meng Shi's face was extremely ugly, "What exactly do you want? Just say it."

"What do I want to do? I just want to scold you for being a black-hearted and rotten thing. You are a little girl who doesn't learn well and has a bad stomach. Just thinking about picking this and that, I have never seen such a shameless person." people!"

There were already a lot of people in the Annual Collection, and when there was excitement to watch, they immediately gathered around.

My aunt and uncle also heard the movement and ran out of the house. My uncle was more introverted, while my aunt was more aggressive, "Who are you scolding? Why are you scolding for no reason? If you think things are expensive, you can buy them elsewhere. The price here Who doesn't know, you don't need to say it here."

"I'm here to help. The whole family is black-hearted and rotten, and they don't want to be nice to others." The woman aimed at Meng Shi again, her eyes full of resentment, "I know how to seduce men at only a few years old, I live like this I have never seen such a disrespectful girl in my old age. In the past, she would have been thrown into the pond and drowned! Fortunately, you still went to school. If you haven’t learned anything else, you will learn to seduce men, right? A real man , it’s everywhere on the street, if you don’t want to pull anyone, you have to harm us. You really deserve a thunderbolt!”

Meng Shi was dumbfounded.

What does this mean?
And the people around, hearing this magical turning point, couldn't help pointing at Meng Shi.

After all, these days, a girl's reputation is still very important.A married daughter-in-law can openly conceive a baby at the door and casually tell dirty jokes with the men in the village, but girls who do not go out should be reserved.

Meng Shi's face flushed red, not from shame, but from anger!

"Are you crazy, aren't you? If you have a mental problem, go take medicine, go to the hospital, and run out to do something wild!" My aunt rushed up and cursed angrily.

Anyone in the family who doesn't know that gold is precious all the time is the baby bump in the family, so there is no room for such insults.

At this time, someone who was familiar with her told Lu Caixia and her uncle's family.

After a while, mother Lu Caixia, uncle Lu Yingpeng and uncle Qin Xin all ran over.

It just so happened that the uncle heard the woman insulting Meng Shi when he came up, his eyes widened with hatred, and he rushed up to beat the woman!

Meng Shi quickly asked his uncle to stop the uncle.

It was probably because Meng Shi's family was very powerful, but the woman was alone. The woman was a little scared and not as arrogant as before, but she kept swearing.

"Are you looking for trouble on purpose, right? The police station is over there, go, go to the police station and say it." The uncle said that he was about to grab the woman and go to the police station.

Unexpectedly, the woman sat directly on the ground and began to cry loudly, "The whole family is a bully, and they bully people on the street. What a black-hearted and rotten family, you must die."

Meng Shi didn't want his uncle to beat someone at this time.No matter how the other party scolds, as long as the uncle beats someone first, it will be unreasonable, and even if it is reasonable, it will become unreasonable.

She also wanted to know what was going on with the woman in front of her.It's like... deliberately finding fault with her.

"What on earth do you want to do, tell me. If you keep messing around, then go directly to the police station and have the final say." Meng Shi tried his best to calm himself and not get angry with this unreasonable shrew.

"What do I want to do? You know what you did yourself. You black-hearted rotten thing, you still want to hold on to my baby? Do you know that my baby is going to marry the county magistrate's daughter? It's broken. What are you? You don't even deserve to wash my baby's feet, but you dare to seduce my baby. I've never seen such a shameless girl like you. You are willing to get angry and find a man to find someone else, don't come to harm my baby I'm going to risk my life today, and I want you, a coquettish fox, to know that I shouldn't do it to you, so stop wishful thinking!"

Meng Shi's face changed abruptly.

Some looked at the woman in front of them in disbelief.

She... is Qi Chuan's mother?
