Reborn Scholar

Chapter 60

Because he didn't come back during the summer vacation, Meng Shi brought a lot of things with him when he came back this time.

Grandparents, parents, mothers and younger brothers needless to say, uncles and aunts and cousins ​​who are already two years old, uncles and uncles and cousins ​​who are one year old here, and uncles.

In addition, it is also prepared for grandpa and grandma. In any case, money is the last thing she cares about now, and she doesn't have to talk about things that can be solved with a little money. Of course, in terms of heart, she must Can't compare to grandma.

There are also gifts for my uncle, two sets of high-end suits, leather shoes and shirts, and of course, a good watch is indispensable.

As for the aunts, when visiting relatives during the Spring Festival, you can just buy them locally.

These gifts alone filled four large suitcases. On the contrary, they were Meng Shi's own things, so he didn't bring much, so one suitcase was enough.

When she got off the plane in Z City, the person in charge of Huijia Supermarket in Z City came to pick her up.

This was Zou Kai's order. There was no other way. Meng Shi, the behind-the-scenes boss, was so low-key that he didn't know her at all.

As soon as she got in the car, the phone rang.

"Brother Kai?"

"I got off the plane, has the car that picked you up arrived?"

"Well, I'm already in the car."

"I've already told them to drive you back. It's inconvenient for you to carry so many things by yourself. I told you to learn to drive and get a driver's license. It's convenient to go out. You didn't listen."

"Yes, yes, I will take the exam when I return to city B after the Chinese New Year, will it pass?"

"Little girl. That's all right, let's do this first, be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and contact me at any time."

"Okay Kai, thank you."

"Go, what did you say! When I get back, I won't teach you a lesson."

Meng Shi smiled and hung up the phone.

Just after hanging up the phone, Han Cheng's call came in, "Have you arrived in Z City?"

"Well, brother Kai sent someone to pick me up, don't worry. What about you, where are you now?"

"Still in HK, I will return to City B in two days." Han Cheng was a little tired.

Meng Shi sighed, "Take a rest when you're tired. You really think you're an iron man. If the sky falls, there's a tall one to support you. It won't hurt if you take an extra day off."

Han Cheng smiled, "Yes."

At this time, someone over there was talking to Han Cheng again, asking what to do.

Meng Shi hurriedly said, "Then go get busy, I'm fine here, you should pay more attention to rest."

"Okay, let's talk later."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Shi let out a long sigh of relief.

Behind all the glamor, whether it is bitter or sweet, only the parties themselves know.

"Master, find a place to stop the car, I'll buy some water." Meng Shi laughed.

The driver hurriedly parked the car in front of a small supermarket nearby, and said with a smile, "I'll buy it for you, just teach me Xiao Li."

"No, I'll go by myself and do some activities by the way."

"Alright then, I'll wait for you at this door."

In recent years, with the opening of Huijia Supermarket and the entry of foreign supermarkets, many people in China have opened their own supermarkets, but the scale is generally not so large.

After buying a few bottles of water and moving his body to let the blood flow, Meng Shi returned to the car.

Passed a bottle of water to the master, "Master Li, let's go. Please."

Master Li is very polite, "No trouble, no trouble, the task assigned to me by the manager must be done well." Then, Master Li smiled again, "I drive the manager on weekdays, and I have never driven such a good car before. .”

Meng Shi smiled.

There is no way, I have too much luggage, and Tong Yan sent her to the airport to take the plane, so he naturally knows.I don't know where I got such a Land Rover. It has a lot of space, and the suitcase can be put in a car.

The plane arrived in Z City after twelve o'clock, and then drove directly from the airport to home, which took more than six hours.

Because it was winter, it was already dark when we got home.

After sending Meng Shi home, he entertained the master for dinner. Meng Shi told him, "Don't hurry when it gets dark. Find a hotel in the county town and stay overnight, and then return to City Z tomorrow."

The master smiled and agreed.

There is no way, the hotels in the town are too ugly.Besides, the county seat is not far from the town, and the concrete road is only three to ten minutes away by car.

After seeing off the driver, the family became happy again.

Father Meng Qingshan was relatively restrained, he just smiled and helped Meng Shi move the suitcases into the house one by one without saying a word.

Mother Lu Caixia held Meng Shi's hand and looked up and down, left and right.

The younger brother Meng Xiangfei also hugged her arm and called her sister affectionately.

Meng Shi immediately felt that the fatigue in his body had flown away, and he felt comfortable at home.

Meng Shi installed a water heater in his house in the name of his own use.

After soaking in a hot bath, I really feel comfortable all over.

I was so excited that I didn't feel tired, so I started to organize the things in the box.

First, take out the gifts for parents and younger brother.

What I gave my father was a watch, a dozen packs of good cigarettes I scavenged from Han Cheng and Tong Yan, and I didn't bring the wine if I couldn't carry it.

The one for mother is a set of gold jewelry. The jewelry store in City B has a very design style, which can't be bought in small places.

I also gave my younger brother a watch, a Sony Walkman, and a set of valuable car models.

Looking at these gifts, my mother was both happy and distressed, "Spending money indiscriminately. How difficult it is for you to make money by writing. What do you buy these for, and you don't need them."

Meng Shi laughed, "Mom, I have money for business, and I have a lot of money. You can spend it vigorously. You can't spend it all."

But her mother glared at her, "How can you be like this, how much money can't be spent? You can't do this in the future."

Meng Shi smiled, and gave his mother another bank card, "Put this here with you, in case of any emergency, and it's convenient for me to transfer money to it."

Then he unpacked other boxes and sorted out the gifts for everyone.

Seeing that there were so many more, Lu Caixia's face turned ugly.

"You girl is really a waste of money! How much do these things cost? Usually you send back enough things, and the meaning is enough. Why do you buy so much?" Lu Caixia was a little distressed, she felt sorry for her daughter.

Meng Shi also knew that it was time to let the family know something. Although he couldn't tell everything, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Mom, I told you everything. I made money from doing business. Do you remember that Han Cheng? He started a company, and I also invested some money in it. Now that the company makes money, I get dividends." Don't worry, it's enough. Besides, it's okay if I buy some gifts for my grandparents."

Lu Caixia was taken aback, exchanged glances with Meng Qingshan, and asked while helping Meng Shi pack up, "Did you invest the money in Han Cheng's company?"

"almost."

"You child, don't say anything about the big things."

"Mom, isn't that a rare opportunity? Do you know who Grandpa Han Cheng is?"

"who is it."

"I'm running out of time today. When I watch the news broadcast tomorrow night, I'll point it out to you."

"News broadcast!" Mom's voice rose immediately.

Meng Qingshan often reads the news, and he still knows the names of those important people, as well as their basic positions.

As soon as he thought of Han's surname, there was something he didn't understand.

Meng Qingshan immediately looked at Meng Shi in shock, "Who are you talking about, Han?"

Meng Shi nodded affirmatively, and smiled wryly, "I was shocked when I saw it for the first time."

"See you!" a more horrifying voice.

Meng Shi hummed, "The old man is very kind, and I even made him snacks."

Both Meng Qingshan and Lu Caixia gasped.

This……

Although they guessed that Han Cheng's identity must be unusual, they didn't expect it to be so terrifying!

After being silent for a while, Lu Caixia asked again in a low voice, "Then...then what company are you and Han Cheng investing in? What kind of business are you doing?"

Meng Shi smiled, and chose a more acceptable one, "Huijia Supermarket, do you know? City Z has one, but we can't open it here for the time being."

"That Huijia supermarket that doesn't have fakes? It's on TV every day."

"Correct."

Meng Qingshan and his wife were completely dizzy.

The gifts were originally packaged and packed one by one, as long as they were sorted out, it didn't take much time.

After sorting it out, Meng Shi's excitement passed, and he was really sleepy.

Seeing that she was sleepy, my mother hurried her to sleep.

Knowing her habits, the beds in the room were just changed, clean and warm, as if they could smell the sun.

On her side, she woke up until dawn, but on her parents' side, she tossed and turned all night.

The next day, she slept until after nine o'clock before getting up.

Mom and Dad have already eaten and went to the market.

Tomorrow is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and we will sacrifice to the Kitchen God.Of course, it's time to buy new year's goods.

Last year, my parents bought 4 rooms of land next to the road next to the cattle and sheep line.The land here is sold by room. A room is about 16 meters wide and [-] meters long, but there are six meters in front of the door that cannot be built.

There are two houses in which her family lives now, and the total cost of buying land was only 2000 yuan, but now, the land here has increased to 6000 yuan per house.

Parents are still regretting that the price was so cheap at the beginning, they would have known that they would not build a house and resell the land.

But that's just thinking about it. If we didn't build a house at the beginning, who knows what it would be like.

Twenty rooms of land, 12.

All were built into three floors, and the total cost was almost 100 million.

Meng Shi had almost spent all the money he gave to his parents before, so his parents didn't dare to spend money recklessly, and his life was still very frugal.

Because these houses are all on the side of the road, there are more people doing business now, almost all of them are rented out, and the rest are also booked.

At this time, the rent was not very high, and it was a small place. There was a store with two floors upstairs and downstairs. The rent was at most 300 yuan a month, and it came down to [-] yuan a year.

Twenty rooms, the annual rent can be [-] yuan.

The third floor is empty, and I haven't planned what to do yet.However, five or six rooms have been renovated, as well as the living room, bathroom and kitchen. If guests come, they can live here.

The rent will rise in the future, no matter what happens in the future, these houses can be regarded as a fixed support.This is also the plan of my parents!
At first they thought that Meng Shi earned money by writing novels through hard work, but they were still worried that if one day they couldn't write it, wouldn't they be out of money?

The monthly rent of these houses can keep the two brothers and sisters from starving, and any business can support the family.

It is also because of these houses that my parents are not like in previous years. During the Spring Festival, they worked hard to pull fish and lotus roots and the like to do business.

Of course, another reason is the lack of manpower.

I used to do business with the help of my grandmother and the whole family.

Today, my uncle and my aunt also opened a non-staple food store on the street, my aunt and uncle sold hardware and daily miscellaneous goods, my uncle learned electric welding skills, opened a welding shop, sold some plumbing and building materials, and also made iron gates windows or something.

As for the two parents, if they sell New Year's goods at the New Year's Fair, there will be absolutely not enough manpower.Moreover, on the contracted hill, the wolfberry fruit has already grown, and the sand dates have also grown fruit, and this year has entered a high-yielding period.The apples grafted by Zhumei Begonia have only started to bear fruit since last year, and the quantity is not large.

The market is also easy to find, because the parents manage well, the quality of these fruits is good, and the fruit merchants in N City come to collect them.

So my parents basically spent all their time on this hill, and didn't bother to do small business for the New Year's Fair anymore.

After Meng Shi woke up and took a shower, he saw his younger brother listening to an English tape.

Seeing Meng Shi coming down, Meng Xiangfei took off the earphones, excited, "Sister, the sound quality is really good."

Meng Shi nodded, "Listen to English more, practice speaking, don't learn dumb English and you will be miserable."

"I know." Meng Xiangfei smiled excitedly, "The eggs stewed by Mom and other meals are all heating up in the pot. If you don't want to eat them, you can go to the street to drink a bowl of Hu spicy soup, or eat hot dry rice. noodle."

Meng Shi smiled and said, "I'll eat it. I'm angry, I don't want to eat those things outside."

After eating, Meng Shi went to Luying Village with gifts for his grandparents and uncles.

On weekdays, Uncle and the others do business on the street during the day and return to the village to sleep at night.

But in the past two years, there have always been incidents of theft during the Spring Festival. When the Spring Festival is approaching, my uncle has been living in the shop on the street.

It's been a long time since I saw my grandparents, and Meng Shi misses them very much.

Grandma's health has improved a lot now, but the antihypertensive drugs and the drugs to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are still being taken on time. Meng Shi always mails back the drugs for half a year.

I ate at my grandma's place at noon.

Aunt Qin Xin went to the street to help the uncle, and the younger cousin was brought to the grandmother.

The two-year-old child is really pink and cute, and the little cousin inherited the white skin of the uncle, and the chubby little face is so tender that Meng Shi couldn't help but touch it.

I bought clothes and toys for my little cousin. The little guy just started to recognize him, but he quickly became familiar with him.

It was getting dark at night, so Meng Shicai went home with his younger brother.

The next day is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and I’m going to my godfather’s and godmother’s house.

In addition to bringing home-cooked gifts, Meng Shi also brought the good tea and two good cigarettes from city B to his godfather and godmother's house.

Of course, I also brought gifts from grandpa and grandma back home.

Grandpa still lives in the main room in the north, and grandma and uncle live in the main room in the south.But at night, my uncle is going to sleep at the pig farm, and there are people there.

When Meng Shi went back, he went to his old house first.

Send the gift for grandpa, and the supplements and clothes bought for grandma, as well as uncle's.

The two Meng Shi families are getting better and better. There are still so many houses built on the street, but they have separated, and grandma is jealous. Stop making trouble.

Meng Qingshan and Lu Caixia's couple are not the kind of bitter and mean people, and they have helped the aunt's family a lot in the past few years. Gradually, grandma is not as picky about them as before.

Especially after the second aunt's family, with the help of Meng Qingshan and his wife, built a chicken coop and opened a chicken farm to sell eggs, grandma became even more silent.

Seeing Meng Shi bring gifts, especially those bought for my uncle, grandma smiled with satisfaction, and said a few more words to Meng Shi.

Meng Shi didn't care too much, people shouldn't be too greedy, that's enough.

But uncle, very happy.

Uncle Ben is the kind of person with a particularly soft personality, and treats the Meng Shi siblings very well.

In the past, when my uncle came back from his part-time job, he would take the Meng Shi siblings to a photo studio to take pictures during the Spring Festival. At that time, few people were willing to take pictures.

And my uncle also bought them rare jelly to eat, bought them storybooks, and played kittens with their siblings...

"Shishi, your uncle has seen several girls, but he still hasn't settled down. Go back and talk to your mother, you have to pay more attention." Grandma explained.

Meng Shi hummed, neither agreeing nor objecting.

She really didn't want her uncle to marry the former aunt again, but it was not up to her to decide.

However, you can discuss it with your mother. Grandma is so difficult to get along with. In the future, you must find a aunt who understands the truth.

Unexpectedly, after grandma finished speaking, my uncle blushed, "Shishi, don't talk nonsense."

Meng Shi blinked. Uncle, are you... shy?
Meng Shi couldn't help but want to laugh, my uncle is already 27 this year, he is definitely considered an older youth in the countryside, yet he is still shy.

Because going to godfather and godmother's house today is actually going at night according to the custom, Meng Shi was not in a hurry, so he followed his uncle to the pig farm first.

Meng Shi asked while walking.

Finally, the question came out.

It turned out that my uncle had a female classmate who was still in touch.

It was my uncle's classmate in junior high school.

After graduating from junior high school, my uncle went to work in the south, and this female classmate was admitted to a teacher's school, but she had no connections and was unlucky, so she was assigned to a remote place to teach.I haven't been married until now!

The most important thing is that the girl came back this year for the Chinese New Year!
After Meng Shi found out that the girl was from the neighboring Songlou Village, not far from here, he made up his mind and asked his mother to find someone to inquire about the girl to see how she was.

But Meng Shi already felt in his heart that this was probably her future aunt. After all, it was not easy for a wooden uncle to keep in touch with a girl for more than ten years!

In fact, my uncle is also a small literary youth. On the wall of the main room at home, there are many words written by my uncle, most of which are poems or lyrics.Well, for future generations, this is a typical sullen character.

In the afternoon, I went to the house of my godfather and godmother, and had dinner there in the evening.

When I got home, it was past eight o'clock.

Meng Shi was used to taking a bath in City B, but City B has heating, and her house is not within the scope of heating, so after taking a shower, it was very cold to come out of the bathroom suddenly!

Meng Shi forgot to bring big clothes, so he put on a set of cotton pajamas, and when he ran out, he suddenly got cold, and his nose became a little stuffy.

Go back to the room and read a book for a while.

It was past ten o'clock, after thinking about it, she called Han Cheng.

The phone rang once and was connected.

This is Han Cheng's personal mobile phone, no more than ten people know this number.

"Shi Shi, haven't you slept yet?"

"What about you, are you still working?"

"Well, there are still some things that haven't been dealt with."

"What time is it? Didn't I tell you, don't work so hard, the sky won't fall without you." Meng Shi said angrily.

Han Cheng laughed, his voice was hoarse and tired, "It's okay, these things have to be dealt with, the timing is too coincidental."

Meng Shi also understood, "Have you returned to City B?"

"Ah."

"Give the phone to Jiang Lei."

"how?"

"Give it if you want." Meng Shi said, "Don't be so wordy."

Han Cheng had no choice but to call outside, and soon, the phone was given to Jiang Lei.

"Make him some soup, don't be too greasy, something lighter. It's been a few hours since dinner, working so late, how can the body bear it." Meng Shi confessed.

Jiang Lei took it very seriously, "Mm, you are absolutely right. Mr. Han has been working since yesterday morning and has not closed his eyes until now. I think he will stay up all night tonight, so he doesn't take his body seriously. Well, it's not a robot..."

"Jiang Lei, I'm listening. Make a small report in front of me, you can do it." Han Cheng's helpless voice came from the microphone.

Meng Shi laughed, "The others are slower. Is there any fish in the refrigerator? Make him fish soup, this one will come sooner. Tomorrow, remember to go to the market to buy more ingredients and come back with the soup during the day." You can drink it for dinner and supper."

"Understood, miss, I will definitely obey your orders. But you should persuade Mr. Han, you have to go to bed, and Iron Man can't stand this kind of suffering."

"Well, you give the phone to Han Cheng."

"Okay, I'll make fish soup, you guys talk."

The phone was handed over to Han Cheng again.

Han Cheng was helpless, "Shishi, don't listen to Jiang Lei."

"If you don't listen to him, do you listen to you? What Jiang Lei just said, you came back in the early morning and haven't rested until now? Don't tell me you didn't sleep last night!"

"It's urgent, it will be dealt with soon..."

"Han Cheng!" Before he could finish speaking, Meng Shi interrupted directly, "You are relying on your youth and not taking your body seriously, right? I have told you a hundred times that staying up late hurts your health, you Why can't you remember? Big things, can they be bigger than your own body? How old are you, and you are still like a child, and you have to be chased by your parents, without any self-consciousness..."

Meng Shi counted down for ten, twenty, ten minutes, and she didn't stop until Jiang Lei said that the fish soup was ready on the phone.

"After drinking the fish soup, go take a hot bath and sleep!" Meng Shi's tone was quite severe.

Han Cheng was very helpless, "Little housekeeper."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and drink fish soup, and ask Jiang Lei to put hot water for you!"

"Okay, I'm already drinking soup." Han Cheng said with a smile.The sound of him drinking soup also came from the phone.

Meng Shi smiled with satisfaction, "After drinking the soup, go take a bath obediently, I'll lie in bed and wait for you..."

"Cough, cough cough cough" Han Cheng was choked and coughed violently.

"What's the matter? Got stuck with a fishbone?" Meng Shi asked hurriedly.

Han Cheng blushed from coughing, and finally stopped, "Cough, it's okay, what did you just... say."

"What did you say?" Meng Shi was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he continued, "I said, I'm going to call again later to check if you're really asleep. I'm already lying under the covers, hehe, The mobile phone is in my hand, I will call you after you take a shower to see if you are really going to sleep. "

"……Oh."

"what happened again?"

"It's okay, I'm drinking soup."

"Well, then you can drink it, really, how grown-up you are, you can still choke on the soup. Hurry up and take a bath after drinking the soup, I'll hang up first."

"……it is good."

Meng Shi hung up the phone and continued to read, yawning profusely.

Looking at it, I was about to fall asleep.

The phone rang, and she answered it in a daze, "Hello?"

"Sleepy?" Han Cheng's voice was still on the phone.

"Well, have you taken a shower and gone to bed yet?"

"Ah."

"Oh." Meng Shi's voice was already very low.

"Sleep quickly if you're sleepy." Han Cheng's voice was soft.

"Oh." Meng Shi yawned again.

"When?"

"Ah."

"When?"

"..."

In the countryside, the Chinese New Year is the busiest time, and everyone is preparing for the Chinese New Year during the slack season.

Meng Shi was also extraordinarily leisurely. The task of reviewing the future aunt was handed over to her mother, but her mother didn't say anything, she just said to inquire about it.

And when Meng Shi ate, slept and ate enough every day, she felt as if she had gained weight.

When I have nothing to do, I go to tease my uncle's and aunt's little cousins, and when I am tired, I come back to read and sleep.

She even got into the habit of calling Han Cheng every night at ten o'clock.

If he didn't fight one day, Jiang Lei would file a complaint the next day, and Han Cheng stayed up late again.

Meng Shi was helpless, why is this person just like a child!

But it doesn't take much to make a phone call every night or something.

In such a flash, it was the year 27.

The house has been cleaned inside and out in preparation for the New Year.I have bought all the necessities for the new year, and my parents have already started to prepare all kinds of food for the new year.

Unexpectedly, this afternoon, two more uninvited guests came to the house.
