Reborn Scholar

Chapter 6

"From time to time, I heard from your parents that your grades are very good this time, with almost full marks in Chinese and Mathematics?" Grandpa said again.

Meng Shi nodded, "Yes, Grandpa. I don't know what's wrong with my brain. I used to think it was difficult, but now I find it easy. And...and let alone the third grade, even the fifth grade , I can do it too. I have already finished reading the third-grade textbooks, and next to me is Lu Nan from the Fifth Grandpa’s family. She is in the fifth grade, and I have read her questions, so I can do it too.”

Lu Changfa's eyes widened completely, filled with disbelief, "Really?"

His voice even trembled a little.

Meng Shi nodded, "Yes. If you don't believe me, you can find a fifth grade question and give me a try."

Lu Changfa clenched his fists, leaning on a cane, and couldn't help pacing on the spot.

After a long while, he suddenly turned around and said, "Shishi, you...you really didn't lie to grandpa? Then you...how can I say that you looked a lot more stable this time. This is really...this is really... ..."

Grandpa didn't complete a sentence for a long time.

Meng Shi sighed. She had a wild personality when she was a child, and she couldn't settle down for a while.Curious about everything, wanting to try everything, jumping to the extreme!

Once, grandma came back from mowing grass to feed the pigs, and she was not allowed to move around. She insisted on not listening, and staggered to feed the pigs with a pile of grass by herself.

It is said that she was only three years old at the time.

As you can imagine, the result was an unforgettable tragedy.

The pig was big and hungry. When she hugged the grass and passed, the pig directly arched up. She was also short. As a result, the pig opened its mouth wide and arched, and the sharp pig teeth directly pierced her mouth!
As a result of this intimate contact, the corner of her mouth was torn and she had three stitches.

Because of his young age, the wound healed well, but there were still scars left...

These things were told to her by her grandma. When she was grown up, she asked her family how she got the scar around her mouth, and she came up with such an answer that made her thump...

Now, touching the little bumpy scar on the corner of his lip, Meng Shi's mood is really complicated.

Seeing his grandfather, who was obviously incoherent because of his excitement, pretending to be calm, Meng Shi couldn't help but smile.

"Grandpa, even if you don't ask me today, I have to tell you the truth. I always feel that I am different now, and you don't have to talk to me as a child at all. I also want you to cover me Well. About my brain, I don’t want others to know. It’s best not to tell them all about my parents, uncles and grandma, especially about my writing and publishing. Don’t let them mess around outside. Say. I don't want to wear a genius hat on my head."

Meng Shi said seriously.

Lu Changfa glanced at Meng Shi in surprise, and quickly nodded again and again, "Being able to say these words, it seems that Grandpa should really believe you."

"You must trust me."

"Then why don't you wear the hat of a genius? It's not good to be admired and praised by others?"

Meng Shi smiled bitterly, "Grandpa, stop joking. Everyone has heard the story of hurting Zhongyong. Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the forest wind. I was originally a rural child, and my performance was so eye-catching and outstanding. When others praised me, I also I'm even more jealous. I'm bound to have a lot of trouble in the future. If I'm just a little bit smarter, for example, study better, it's nothing. I'll study much better. But, if I'm so young, I can write novels If it can be published, if it gets out, how many public opinion crowds will be aroused?"

Lu Changfa nodded again and again, "Not bad! God really gave birth to Wen Quxing in our family. Listen to this, grandpa bets that no one in our town can tell! Okay, okay!"

……

After discussing with my grandfather, the more they talked, the more excited they became.

For so many years, in fact, my grandfather has never found a real person to talk to. Most of the original colleagues have gone to other places to get promoted and make a fortune. Only he stayed at home as an old farmer, full of knowledge, who can he tell? ?
"What are you grandpa and grandson talking about? It's time to eat, come back and eat!" Grandma came over and shouted.

"Okay, what's the rush?"

Meng Shi and Grandpa looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept in silence.

It can be seen that everyone is immersed in excitement.

During the meal, my grandfather sat down and said solemnly, "Before eating, I want to say a few words."

Seeing that grandpa was so formal, everyone listened carefully.

"No one is allowed to tell me about publishing articles from time to time. Don't let me slip a single word. If anyone accidentally says it out, don't blame me for turning against me!"

Lu Changfa's temper is usually very good, because he is knowledgeable, he is also tolerant, but once he becomes serious, he must not be disobeyed.

Uncle Lu Yingpeng was a little puzzled, "Father, why can't you say it? It's such an honor for Shi Shi."

"That's right, why can't you say it, you have to give a reason." Grandma also said.

Although the parents didn't say a word, their eyes already showed any problem, and they didn't understand why Lu Changfa would give this order.

Lu Changfa stared at these members of the family, "I can't say it, I just can't say it. Do you know that Shishi is still young, and if you make this public at this time, how many people outside want to get ideas from our family? Shishi is young, In case some people are jealous and you do something to Shishi, it will be too late for you to regret it! Also, Shishi is so young, but he has achieved such a big achievement, and there are rumors outside that Shishi has a ghost, what should we do? Don’t let Shishi be broken fame!"

With that said, everyone reacted.

They were indeed too happy.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and rulers compete for length and inches for short.The first family in the east of the village raised fish and made a lot of money, but in the second year's fish, when it was time to come out of the pond, the medicine was thrown away, and a whole pond died overnight!

Thinking of this, the faces of the family members became serious.

Grandma hugged Meng Shi tightly, and stared at Lu Caixia sternly, "Caixia, you and Qingshan remember clearly, you must never tell me, do you understand? Someone asked, just say that your cousin is working in Sichuan, Send her uncle some books to read."

Although Lu Caixia and Meng Qingshan's academic qualifications are not very good, they are very open-minded. Otherwise, they would not be so supportive of Meng Shi's girl going to school.

"Mom, don't worry, we know the seriousness, and we will definitely not talk nonsense." Lu Caixia said seriously.

Meng Qingshan has always been quiet, he just nodded seriously.

Grandma looked at Lu Yingpeng again, and Lu Yingpeng quickly said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm not a broken-mouthed person."

Only then did grandma nod in satisfaction, and then said, "Don't tell Zhaoxia and Yingqun, they both have no words, especially Yingqun, who likes to brag the most. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded.And the youngest, Meng Xiangfei, was totally ignorant, he only cared about playing outside, and didn't have the energy to listen to the adults at all.

Zhaoxia is Meng Shi's aunt. She has four mothers and sisters. Her mother is the eldest, her uncle is the second child, her aunt Zhaoxia is the third child, and the youngest is her uncle Yingqun.

My uncle was at home during this time because he had to go on a blind date and get married, so he came back from the south, while my aunt and uncle were still working in the south.

After eating, the family was still excited.

At the same time, he was discussing going to Gou County Hospital to wash his grandmother's blood tomorrow.

Meng Shi finally spoke up, "Bloodwashing treats the symptoms but not the root cause. You should take grandma to a big hospital in the provincial capital for a comprehensive checkup so that the doctor can take a good look at it."

"I said that grandma is fine. Shishi is so capable. In the future, grandma will enjoy the blessings of Shishi. If she can't die, what are you going to do with that money? Keep it for Shishi to go to school." Grandma said nonchalantly.

Meng Shi bit his lip.

She lived in her grandmother's house for seven years when she was a child. When she was about ten months old, her mother picked her milk because she was pregnant with her younger brother. After that, she lived with her grandmother all the time, and occasionally went home.Until last year, more than 90.00% of her time lived at her grandmother's house.

Grandpa and grandma like to tease her every time, will they raise grandpa and grandma when they grow up?

She answered loudly every time, yes.

It's a pity that neither grandpa nor grandma enjoyed any of her blessings!
"No, I have to go!" Meng Shi gritted his teeth and said in an extremely firm tone, "If you are afraid of spending money, just treat it as my loan from you now. The manuscript fee will arrive soon, and I will return it to you when the time comes."

Everyone was puzzled, after all, they couldn't get used to Meng Shi talking like elder brother.As for whether to borrow money or not, it is not a problem at all.The family never argues over this.

Lu Changfa nodded, "Go. My granddaughter is filial, so you can go. Yingpeng often goes out, so ask Yingpeng to go with your eldest sister to the provincial capital to give your mother a good checkup."

"I'll go too." Meng Shi said.

Lu Caixia frowned, "Don't go every now and then, the provincial capital is crowded, so what if you get lost?"

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. I'll go out and see the world, maybe I can write a better story."

"Okay, I'll go when I'm told." Lu Changfa made the decision without waiting for Lu Caixia to say anything else.

So, the trip to the provincial capital was decided.

Grandma's illness, of course, the sooner the better.

They decided to start from the town to the city early the next morning, and only after arriving in the city would they have the car to the provincial city Z.
