Reborn Scholar

Chapter 58

Monday is actually not a very good time.

There are two classes in the morning, and school is over at almost twelve o'clock.There was only one physical education class in the afternoon, but it happened to be the last two classes, and it was 05:30 after class.

But Meng Shi also knew that Han Cheng definitely didn't just say this time casually.

His time doesn't really matter. As long as he doesn't want to go abroad, he can basically take his time away. The key is the old man's time.

"Can you spare some time tomorrow? Or let Jiang Lei come over at noon and drive me out." Meng Shi was not polite and asked directly.

"what happened?"

"Didn't the old man want to eat snacks? Last time, he told me not to favor one person over another, but also to bring him snacks. Am I looking for ingredients?" Meng Shi was helpless.

"Hey, you're serious. It's okay. I'll just find someone to cook whatever the old man wants to eat."

"Is there anyone like you? I'm too embarrassed to let me go empty-handed. That's fine, anyway, it's just a simple meal, no trouble."

Han Cheng was silent for a while, "That's all right. At noon tomorrow, is it time for you to get out of school? Will it be too late? Or if you say what you want, I'll ask someone to find it for you."

"No, I'll do it myself. It won't take too long."

"Okay, I see."

Originally, Meng Shi thought that Han Cheng would let Jiang Lei come over, but unexpectedly, Han Cheng drove here by himself.

"Why are you so idle?" Meng Shi took the co-pilot seat.

Han Cheng glared at her, "I'm not willing to be your driver?"

Meng Shi laughed, "Your driver is too high-end, I can't afford it."

"It's okay, it's free today, but you'll be charged next time."

"..."

"Let's eat first, and then look for it after eating. But, what ingredients are you looking for?"

"Ai Cao, that's enough, let's eat first and then talk."

After a brief lunch, the two drove out of City B.

Wormwood is very common in rural areas, but it is almost extinct in urban areas.

Fortunately, the surrounding area of ​​City B is also in the countryside, with fields and everything, so it shouldn't be difficult to find this thing.

Sure enough, after leaving City B, go down the road to the small road, and there are fields on both sides of the road.

But here is close to the main road, and there are many cars passing by, so the wormwood doesn't look very good.

I walked a little further, and finally found a fish pond.The aquatic plants are abundant, and the wormwood is also growing well.

"Look, if you pick it this way, you need the tender ones, not the old ones, it's better to pinch the pointed ones." Meng Shi taught Han Cheng how to pick wormwood.

Although Han Cheng didn't understand, he had a strong comprehension ability and learning ability, and he quickly mastered the skills.

"How about it, can these be used?"

Meng Shi glanced at Han Chengxian's treasure, as if he was praising the child, "Yes, keep working hard."

Han Cheng was not annoyed, and continued to pinch the wormwood with a smile on his face.

"What is this?" Han Cheng pinched the wormwood while learning new knowledge.

"Thatch, the roots are very sweet."

"what about this?"

"Yellow flower seedlings, oh, they are dandelions."

"This one is tall."

"Artemisia annua. If you get stung by a wasp, just crumble this and apply it on."

"Hey, what is this, pricking hands!"

"Prickly horn teeth, also called small thistle. If you have a wound, you can crush it and apply it to stop the bleeding quickly. It can also be eaten. It cools the blood and lowers blood pressure. It's good to put it in porridge. Is the blood pressure normal, old man? Dig a few and go back to cook porridge, it's very fragrant."

Han Cheng nodded, "The old man takes antihypertensive drugs every day, and his blood pressure is still a bit high. The braised pork, which he used to like most, has been banned."

"very pitiful."

Han Cheng nodded approvingly, then looked at Meng Shi again, "Shi Shi, you know a lot."

Meng Shi's black line, how many people who grew up in the countryside didn't know this?
After picking a basket full of wormwood and digging out a lot of thorn teeth, it was still early, so the two sat and rested for a while under the woods by the fish pond.

There is a big difference between the countryside and the city, as if they are two completely different worlds.

"My favorite thing to do when I was a child was to herd sheep. I tied the sheep to a tree by the ditch, and then lay on the grass looking at the blue sky and white clouds, without thinking about anything. In the hot summer, there is wind in the woods, which is very cool. It doesn't matter if you fall asleep in a daze, you can just give the sheep another place to graze when you wake up later." Meng Shi said with a smile.

Such a time is gone forever.

Now city B can still see the blue sky and white clouds, but more than ten years later, in city B, either sandstorms or smog, the blue sky and white clouds have become a luxury.Even all over the country, wherever there is blue sky and white clouds is something worth showing off!
Meng Shi lay on the grass disregarding his image, pulled out a dog's tail grass and bit it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and the breeze was blowing, making him extremely comfortable.

Han Cheng also followed her example and lay down.

The earth gives people a sense of solidity. Looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling the breeze blowing on the face, it is really comfortable.

Han Cheng closed his eyes and almost fell asleep.

Time like this always flies by quickly. Meng Shi still remembers that he still has a physical education class.

Although it's not a big deal to miss classes or something, but she wants to be a good student, even if it's physical education, it's not a bad thing to miss.

But looking sideways, Han Cheng seemed to be asleep.

Meng Shi blinked and laughed silently.

Pull another dog's tail grass from the side, and scratch Han Cheng's ear with that fluffy tail.

Approaching cautiously, he turned the dogtail grass violently.

Because of the prank, Meng Shi's eyes couldn't help but shine.Sure enough, people have this kind of mischievous mentality, just like a child who deliberately does bad things, his eyes are so bright that it makes people dizzy.

"what!"

The moment Han Cheng was attacked by the bristlegrass, Han Cheng jumped up, changing from lying flat to standing upright in an instant!Meng Shi was caught off guard!

Uh……

Meng Shi was taken aback, so he quickly stood up and quickly dropped the murder weapon in his hand.

She was a little dumbfounded, this...what's the point!
As for Han Cheng, covering his ears with one hand, he stared at Meng Shi with red eyes. That gaze... made Meng Shi's skin crawl.

Meng Shi blinked, with an innocent and worried face, "Well, are you okay? I thought you fell asleep, and I just wanted to wake you up."

"!!" Han Cheng remained silent, staring at Meng Shi with shame and anger.

Meng Shi was a little at a loss, there is no real problem, right?Han Cheng's pretty face turned red, as if he had an allergy.Of course, the reddest thing is the ears, which are almost bleeding.

"I'm sorry, I just..." Meng Shi struggled with how to apologize.

When she was playing with dogtail grass when she was a child, she played with her brother like this many times, and nothing happened.How come Han Cheng is so scary here?

I can't understand it.

But judging by Han Cheng's appearance, it seemed that something really happened.

Meng Shi was struggling to guess, "Could it be that awn on the dog's tail grass that fell into your ear? Prick? How about I show you?"

blow? !

Han Cheng hurriedly covered his ears again, took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth, and squeezed out three words, "I'm fine."

"Then you just... had a nightmare?"

"Thanks to you, I'm sober. Can I go back now? Miss, you're going to be late for class." Han Cheng walked towards the car with his basket in his hand.

"Of course, I just told you to get up and go back. I think you slept very comfortably." Meng Shi hurried to catch up, but he was still speechless, "Hey, it's not like that, didn't you feel good just now? Why are you being unreasonable again?" ? Like a child, Pippi is not like this now, right?"

Having said that, Han Cheng stopped immediately.

Meng Shi almost missed, "What's the matter?"

Han Cheng stared at Meng Shi fiercely, "How about I scratch you?"

Meng Shi blinked, and it took him a while to understand. His eyes were rounded, and he couldn't believe it. "I need revenge for such a trivial matter. All right, all right, let you, just scratch it if you scratch it."

Han Cheng randomly pulled out a dog's tail grass to attack.

But Meng Shi was a little itchy, and it returned to normal after digging out his ears, and he didn't even laugh a couple of times.

Han Cheng was even more depressed. This revenge, is it completely unreported?

"Hey, you have avenged yourself, why do you still have such a face? Hey Han Cheng, why didn't I realize that you are so narrow-minded." Meng Shi muttered.

Han Cheng snorted, "You think everyone is like you."

"What's wrong with me?" Meng Shi felt quite innocent.

Han Cheng gritted his teeth and looked at her, turned his head arrogantly, ignored him, and got into the car.

Meng Shi frowned, thinking and thinking, seeing Han Cheng's ears that were so red that they were bleeding from behind...

Suddenly, her eyes widened!
Uh... Could it be what she thought?
No, no, no?

Hey!
Meng Shi blushed.She kind of wants to cry!
I was really just making the most normal joke, why...

Cough cough cough, Meng Shi can understand Han Cheng's reaction very well at this moment.

Knowing that he had done something stupid, Meng Shi got into the car obediently, and secretly looked at the black-faced Han Cheng.

He licked his lips, not knowing what to say.

The car started, and the atmosphere in the car was a little weird.

Meng Shi bit his lip and asked cautiously, "Well, Han Cheng, your ears are...very sensitive, right?"

"laugh!"

Han Cheng slammed on the brakes and almost drove the car into a ditch.

He turned his head and gave Meng Shi a hard look, but said nothing. He adjusted his breathing, released the brake, and continued driving.

"I'm sorry, look, you didn't tell me that your hearing is bad. If I knew, I wouldn't..."

"You're the one with bad ears."

"Oh, yes, it's because my ears are not good. I apologize to you. I promise, I won't tease you like this again, okay?" Meng Shi hurriedly apologized.

"Hmph." So arrogant.

Meng Shi was about to be overwhelmed.

Han Cheng finished humming by himself, feeling embarrassed.Why are you twitching like a woman?

He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "My ears have been like this since I was a child. It can't be cured anyway."

Seeing that this person finally returned to normal, Meng Shi hurriedly nodded and said cooperatively, "Yeah, yes, I know some people will be like this. Everyone's sensitive points are different, you don't need to care about it, and it's nothing to be ashamed of." thing."

Han Cheng's face darkened again.

What does it mean that everyone is like this?He is super, okay? !It's nothing out of the ordinary! !
When he was a child, Tong Yan hugged him and talked in his ear, and he just punched Tong Yan flying, okay?

Seeing that his enlightenment seemed to be missing the point, Meng Shi quickly changed the subject, "I heard that men can't touch the waist, isn't it? How could you be the ears?"

"..." Han Cheng's hands on the steering wheel froze again.

Meng Shi was immersed in his own fantasies, and he said in a daze, "Then when you kissed your girlfriend, what should you do if you kissed your ear?"

"Meng! Time!"

Han Cheng stepped on the brake to the bottom, and stared at her fiercely, "Can you stop this meaningless and unrealistic fantasy?"

Meng Shi quickly covered his mouth, nodded repeatedly, but shook his head violently.

Han Chengzhen was defeated by her, and stared at her seriously, "No one can do it, ears are my forbidden area, just like the reverse scale of a dragon, you will die if you touch it!"

Meng Shi's eyes widened, "Thank you Dragon God for not killing me."

"..."

Seeing Meng Shi like this, Han Cheng laughed angrily, thinking what's wrong with him, what are you fussing about with her!
This time it was finally on the road.

But it was obvious that Meng Shi was still wandering.What she was thinking at the moment was, could it be that Han Cheng didn't get married in his previous life because of his ears?

It's not like that either.Well, you don't need to use your ears to make love.

Cough, what is she thinking, stop now!stop!

Meng Shi's face turned slightly red.Cough, cough, cough, it's really scary for a mature woman to be crazy.

"What are you thinking about?" Han Cheng said dissatisfied.

The corner of Meng Shi's mouth twitched, hehe, hehe, she turned her head to look at Han Cheng, and said seriously, "I'm researching whether the wormwood that I will make later is better for making Amy fruit, or green dumpling, or two. Do all kinds?"

Han Cheng looked suspicious, but seeing that she was so serious, he didn't ask any more questions.

Meng Shi wiped his sweat, is there anything more embarrassing than the scene of flirting with someone in front of someone, and being caught by someone?
But fortunately, someone didn't have the ability to read minds, otherwise, the car crashed and people died.

To be on the safe side, Meng Shi decided to block his imagination and focus on the road ahead.

Seeing her like this, Han Cheng thought she was going to learn how to drive.

"Shishi, didn't you say you want to learn how to drive? There has been no movement for so long."

Meng Shi blinked, learning to drive, hehe, in fact, she can drive, but...do you really want to learn?Do you really want to drive yourself?

"Oh."

"I have a few cars at my place. Let Jiang Lei find a master for you some other day. Learn slowly, safety first."

"Yes." Meng Shi obediently agreed.

When we arrived in the urban area, we stopped by the market and bought glutinous rice flour, fresh shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and cabbage.

Back at the apartment, there are only 10 minutes left before class.

"Don't do anything else, just help me wash the wormwood and thorn horns and put it away. The rest will wait for me when I come back."

After explaining, Meng Shi hurried to school.

When I ran to the playground, I happened to be in class.

Han Cheng didn't know what to do at first, but he could still do it by washing the wormwood.It's just a waste of water.

After washing, Han Cheng still felt itchy all over his body, and he didn't know if it was the itching all over his body caused by itchy ears, or because he was itching all over his body from sleeping on the grass. In short, he had to take a bath.

After taking a shower, I finally felt comfortable.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Han Cheng couldn't help tugging at his ears, quite depressed.

His ears have been inactive since he was a child, and when someone speaks near his ears, he will feel uncomfortable all over and the itching is unbearable.The most outrageous thing is that one time, he carried Tong Yan who had drunk too much wine back to the room. As a result, Tong Yan was lying on his back and was dishonest, and a mouthful of hot air hit his ear at close range. They were all stiff, their upper and lower teeth were fighting, and their hands were shaking. He was impulsive in adolescence, but Xiao Chengcheng stood up straight away!Immediately afterwards, he threw Tong Yan on the floor without any guilt, threw Tong Yan to pieces, and woke up the next day yelling that he was beaten!
Han Cheng frowned tightly.

He felt that he was not normal recently, and the number of times he thought of Meng Shi seemed to be slightly more in his mind.

I don't know why, but thinking of the last time I ate at Uncle Yun's place, and today, when he looked at her misty eyes from smiling, he felt as if he had been scratched by a cat!
Han Cheng rubbed his eyebrows silently.

In his memory, Meng Shi was just a soft-looking and cunning little sister, heck, he can still remember the first time he saw Meng Shi.

Obviously he is a child, but he speaks like an adult.He thought she was scheming, planning something.

However, she is indeed not a scheming person.It's just that he doesn't hate this scheming, on the contrary, he appreciates it.

The second time was at W University and my aunt.

That time was really amazing, he couldn't imagine, how could a child like her write such a work?

My first reaction was that he plagiarized someone else's work.

But it was later learned that she had already published novels in other magazines, and it was still a novel!

Then, the third time, Spring Festival.

It just so happened that he was in province H for business, and it happened to be relatively close to her home. He just thought that he was not in a hurry with his schedule anyway, so he thought it was a trip to the countryside.

Then in her room, I saw so many manuscripts, some were discarded, some were being written, and some were closely revised. Her efforts were clearly displayed in front of him, without any falsehood.Looking at a large stack of manuscripts, he seemed to see her growth.

And then, another Spring Festival, he got a headache from being quarreled by his mother, so he hid in the name of work and stayed at her house for two days.

Recalling such memories, Han Cheng couldn't help but be surprised to find that his memory is really good.

There are so many things in my mind, and I can still remember them clearly, isn't my memory good?

It's just that, recently, her eyes with rippling smiles always appear in his mind. They are obviously not much different from before, but once they go in, they can't be pulled out!

Today, she joked with him.

He wasn't going to be angry at first, but it was really a physical reaction, and he couldn't control it.

As if he was hiding some dirty thoughts, he could only use anger to cover up the awkwardness in his heart.

Thinking of this, he felt uncomfortable all over again.

After rinsing again with cold water, Han Cheng shook his head, sweeping away all uneasy emotions, came out of the bathroom, and got dressed.

Looking at the time, Han Cheng was extremely surprised. Taking a bath by himself, it took so long.

When Meng Shi came back from get out of class, Han Cheng was reading a newspaper in the living room.

Meng Shi has also developed the habit of reading newspapers every day, which helps her remember more important things.Of course, Tang Jintian ordered the newspaper for her, and Tang Jintian's purpose was just to let her know more about the current situation.

"Are you back? Let's take a shower first." Seeing that her hair was wet, Han Cheng put away the newspaper and stood up, "Tell me how to do it, I'll do it first."

Meng Shi thought about it, he was really uncomfortable with his sweaty body, "Then you help me boil the mugwort leaves first, I will wash them soon."

"Ah."

Meng Shi took a shower very quickly, even washing his hair, it only took 10 minutes.

Wrapping her hair in a big towel, she hurried out.

"It's really fast." Han Cheng couldn't help saying, and he couldn't help but think of his own delay... irritability.

"It's not fast."

Meng Shi first fished out the fried mugwort leaves and chopped them into pieces, then added glutinous rice and water to make a dough, and then called to Han Cheng, "Come on, use this rolling pin to pound."

"Damn?"

"Yeah, this one is the most strenuous, it suits you."

Han Cheng had no choice but to take the murder weapon he had never used before, "Just smash it like this?"

"Well, the pounding is even, and the pounding time is longer, and the dumplings made are stronger."

Han Cheng became a noodle maker, while Meng Shi hurriedly took out the red bean paste that he had made earlier from the refrigerator and put it aside for later use.

At the same time, she started making stuffing again, pork, shrimp and cabbage stuffing, fried until half-cooked and set aside.

Use the water used to fry the wormwood leaves just now, and cook the remaining wormwood leaves.Adding a little alkali can keep the blue color of mugwort leaves without turning yellow.

Chop the cooked mugwort leaves, add glutinous rice flour and the alkaline water from which the mugwort leaves have been boiled just now, and knead evenly.

Then it is like making dumplings, wrapping the fillings in, and the shape is like dumplings.

At this time, Han Cheng's dumplings are almost ready, just like making steamed buns, wrap red bean paste and rock sugar in it, make them into fist-sized dumplings, and that's it.

Han Cheng made it by himself, but he also became interested, and he also joined a group, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Then put the dumpling-like Amy fruit and green dumplings on the cage and steam them, and it's done.

Taking advantage of the steaming time, Meng Shi quickly ran back to the room, dried his hair, and changed his clothes.

When it came out, it was time to steam Amy fruit and green dumplings.Pack in a clean food container and you're done!
Such a tight time, one item at a time, fast but not chaotic.

Seeing all this with his own eyes, Han Cheng even felt that Meng Shi was cooking, as if he was performing, his whole body was glowing.

"Let's go, why are you in a daze?"

Han Cheng pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, "It's nothing, I was just thinking, with Shi Shi being so capable, whoever marries you will be blessed in the future."

"Oh, that's not necessarily true."

"How to say?"

"First of all, the blessed person you mentioned must marry me first. Marrying me is not easy!" Meng Shi said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it, Brother Gai Ming'er can introduce you as you requested."

"Cut, do I look like a slow-moving product? I still need you to sell it to me."

"The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, more publicity is always good."

"..."
