atypical rebirth

On the first day of the National Day holiday, Meng Caiyun and Ye Gang returned to Houshan Village with big bags and small bags.

There were many people sitting in front of Meng's house and in the lobby.Meng Caiyun looked at them curiously, and saw that each of them had prepared small benches and tea mugs in their hands, and they looked like they wanted to stay in Meng's house for a long time to watch the excitement.Seeing Meng Caiyun's return, Grandma Meng immediately showed a happy smile, and said proudly to everyone: "It's all right, let's go, my daughter and son-in-law are back."

Meng Caiyun greeted the villagers with a smile, and after sending them away, she asked curiously: "Mom, when did our family hold a meeting? Don't you always dislike gossip with them?"

Grandma Meng pointed at Meng Zheng and said, "Ask him!"

"What did Xiaozheng do?" Meng Caiyun asked curiously.

Meng Duo had just come down from the attic with a dirty little bench in his hand. Seeing Meng Caiyun came back, he happily called aunt, and explained to Meng Zheng: "Before, Xiao Zheng went to the canteen in Qianshan Village. Playing, I recognized a box in their house as an antique. They sold the box and exchanged it for a lot of money. The news spread, didn’t everyone bring their old things over to Xiaozheng’s palm? One is also an antique..."

Meng Caiyun looked at Meng Zheng in surprise: "Xiaozheng can also identify antiques?"

Meng Zheng smiled wryly and shook his head: "I don't know, I don't understand these things. The last time I was able to recognize the antiques in the commissary was because of me..." He suddenly remembered that the reason he was looking for to recognize the antiques at first was I followed my uncle to the museum and saw the real thing.But now my uncle is standing in front of me.He could only pass it along in a very vague sentence: "...I have seen similar photos. I really don't know antiques, but they don't believe it..."

Ever since Meng Qianjiang came to the house to thank Meng Zheng, after a week of fermentation, the whole village knew why he thanked Meng Zheng.When Meng Zheng was on vacation again on weekends, the house was full of people, who always asked Meng Zheng to help appraise antiques.That said, this is the urinal that my great-grandfather used during his lifetime. Is it an antique?The one said, I found this out of the attic at home, it looks like an old thing, is it an antique?

Meng Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and bluntly said that he had no such ability.

After two days like this, Meng Zheng failed to identify a single antique, and then he went to school.At the end of the week, Meng Zheng thought that the family should calm down, but he didn't expect that even people from the neighboring villages came, and they still came to him to appraise the antiques.Probably everyone has the mentality of wanting to make a fortune. Now as long as Meng is at home, there will be no shortage of people in the family. People who look for him to appraise, watch, and chat.

Meng Zheng couldn't get it from crying or laughing. He wanted to cry but had no tears.

Meng's mother said to Meng Caiyun and Ye Gang: "He can recognize the box of Baijiang's house as a valuable thing. It's a blind cat hitting a dead mouse. How can a blind cat bump into a dead mouse every time? Can it hit a dead mouse every time?" It would be nice to come back!"

Meng Duo leaned over to Meng Zheng's side, patted Meng Zheng's shoulder sympathetically, and said, "I believe in you, you really don't understand antiques."

"Please don't pat my clothes with dirty hands!" Meng Zheng said with disgust.

Meng Duo laughed twice, quickly hid his dark hands behind his back, pouted at the dirty little bench on the floor, and said, "Xiaozheng, I believe you really don't understand antiques. ...However, although you don't understand antiques, you still have intuition! This is a small stool I dug out from our attic, and it is very well hidden. Do you think it is an antique?"

Meng Zheng: "..."

Father Meng: "!!!"

The dark history that was secretly hidden when I was young was turned out by my daughter.

Father Meng said very sadly: "That's not it! That's my handwork when I was an apprentice carpenter!"

Meng Duo was rather disappointed.

The whole family roared with laughter.

In order to welcome Aunt Meng and Uncle Meng's arrival, Mother Meng specially cooked a large table of delicious food.As soon as Ye was able to drink, Dad Meng brought out the rice wine brewed by himself.This kind of alcohol has a very low alcohol content, and it's okay for children to drink some.Men drink from bowls, while women and children drink from cups.

As a small leader, Ye Gang always unconsciously had a little bit of officialdom when talking at the dinner table. He picked up the bowl and respected Grandma Meng first, and said sincerely: "For the first glass of wine, respect mother first, and wish mother health longevity."

Meng Zheng thought to himself, my uncle really doesn't know grandma well enough. Although health and longevity are good, he still can't poke grandma's itch.So he picked up the small wine cup in front of him, seemingly echoing Ye Gang's words, but in fact he was helping Ye Gang make up for it, saying: "Yes, yes, first, respect grandma, and wish grandma live a younger, more beautiful life. .”

Grandma Meng said modestly with a hint of pride: "How can I live younger and younger, I'm not an old monster."

When everyone at the table was almost respectful, everyone chatted about opening a store.Ye Gang was very interested in Meng Zheng's business plan, and it was indeed for this purpose that he returned to his hometown this time.Ye Gang said with a smile that in fact he owns a shop, which happens to be on the pedestrian street next to the scenic spot.It was bought by him in the early years and has been rented out all these years.What Ye Gang meant was that as long as his business could be done, he would take back the shop for his own use.

Buying the store is Ye Gang's proudest investment.

This store is worth a lot now!Meng Zheng was suddenly enlightened when he heard it.No wonder before he was reborn, his cousin had just graduated from college, and his aunt and uncle were able to buy him a house and a car in the city, and the house was a duplex.

Meng Caiyun and Ye Gang have only one son named Ye Xi.Ye Xi was several years older than Meng Zheng and the others. Meng Zheng and the others had only been in elementary school, while Ye Xi had already gone to college, a third-level financial institution.Because of the age difference and because they didn't live together since they were young, Ye Xi was not close to Meng Xinhua, Meng Duo and Meng Zheng.

Of course, this intimacy is relative.

In any case, we are always brothers and sisters with blood relationship, closer than outsiders.

According to Meng Zheng's knowledge, Ye Xi passed the civil service examination after graduating from university, and with Ye Gang's help, he made steady progress step by step.When Mengzheng saw Ye Xi again when he was in college, Ye Xi already felt very similar to Ye Gang at that time, as if he was another "Ye Gang".People like them can get along better in official circles in small places.

Meng Caiyun and Ye Gang stayed at home for three days, and Ye Gang took Meng Zheng to chat for three days.

After seeing off her aunt and uncle's family, Meng Qianjiang came again.

"I have a nephew, a watch with a watch of three thousand miles. This time, Shi Jiang was sick. Thanks to him running around, Bai Jiang was able to sell his grandma's box and collect the surgery fee. " Meng Qianjiang said straight to the point, "I have already asked clearly, this cousin is the dean of Yahe Junior High School."

The specific address of Meng Zheng's hometown should be Houshan Village, Hongqi Town, Dahe County, Ruiyang City, Z Province.Yahe Middle School is very famous, and it is a key high school in Ruiyang City.Meng Zheng knew before that Yahe's focus rate had never been lower than 90.00% five!In some years it can even reach 90.00% nine!The remaining [-]% does not mean that I did not pass the exam, but it is very likely that I got an offer from a foreign university, so I gave up the college entrance examination.

However, Meng Zheng didn't know that Yahe Middle School had a junior high school.

Meng Qianjiang tried very hard to repeat the words of his distant relatives, and said: "Do you understand what school districts are not? I don't understand that very well. Anyway, my relatives said that their junior high school mainly recruits students from their own school districts, but They have an experimental class, which is the best class in a grade, and it will also recruit students who have registered permanent residence in Ruiyang City. Although our Hongqi Town is a town below Ruiyang City, it also belongs to Ruiyang City. Xiaozheng Eligible to take the entrance examination."

"It's just that, they recruit very few students every year. They have an admissions exam, and they only recruit a dozen or twenty students with the highest scores in the exam. If Xiaozheng can pass their exam, he will get a better ranking , then you can go to study with them, and the tuition and accommodation fees are free." Meng Qianjiang continued.

The original words of his nephew are as follows: If he (referring to Meng Zheng) can get the first place in the admissions examination, no, no, no, he doesn’t need to be the first, as long as he can get the top three, transfer procedures and skipping procedures , we help him do it!

Speaking of this, Meng Qianjiang couldn't help but rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "However, my cousin said that their admissions exams are very difficult. Forget about Chinese, some math questions are from... from Austria Oh! Oh, I chose it, and they also have to take an English test.”

Children in the city have to take English classes from the fourth grade, while the students in Longshan School do not officially start to contact English until the first grade of junior high school.Meng Qianjiang felt that the information he brought up might not be of help to Meng Zheng, so he seemed very guilty.What Meng Qianjiang didn't know was that Meng Zheng was a person who had obtained CET-[-] and CET-[-] certificates!

Meng Zheng thought about it seriously, and immediately decided to take the entrance examination for Yahe Junior High School.He really wants to skip a grade!He couldn't bear to let him read books step by step for so many years like before he was reborn.However, this year's admissions exam has already been missed, and if you want to participate, you will also participate in next year.If he can successfully enter Yahe Junior High School, he will be in the same grade as Meng Duo and Meng Xinhua.He can sort out Yahe's study materials, copy them and hand them over to Meng Xinhua and Meng Duo, and he can also help the two sisters make up lessons during winter and summer vacations.

Now that he had this plan, Meng Zheng wanted to take a trip to Ruiyang City before the National Day holiday to buy some reference books.

Don't underestimate the admissions exam for a junior high school. Didn't you hear what Meng Qianjiang said? The admissions exam also includes the Olympiad. What if the boat capsizes in the gutter?So it's always good to be prepared.

The elders of the Meng family are very strict with their children in some matters. For example, when Meng Zheng was a child, he stole a grape from the neighbor’s house, and was picked up and spanked by his mother unceremoniously. The boss is very loose with the children.Meng Zheng said that he wanted to apply for the Yahe exam. Although the elders felt that he might not be able to pass the exam, no one said this.

Meng Qianjiang happened to be going to visit his grandson in the city, and when he learned that Meng Zheng wanted to buy books, he immediately patted his chest and said to the elders of Meng's parents, "I'll take him there! Let's go to the long-distance bus station and take the bus at 05:30 in the morning. Finish your work in the city at noon, and then take the bus back at [-]:[-] in the afternoon. You can go back and forth in a day."

The elders of the Meng family have nothing to worry about handing over Meng Zheng to Meng Qianjiang, and the matter is settled.

The next day, Meng Zheng was woken up by his mother at four o'clock, took a long-distance bus at 05:30, and arrived in Ruiyang City at noon.At the same time, in a house in Ruiyang City, after lunch, Shen Duqing helped his grandmother clean up the table, then squatted down, and said to his younger brother Shen Feizhuo in a serious tone: "Brother, go to the bookstore. If you Obediently, listen to grandma, and when my brother comes back, I will bring you a book of fairy tales."

"Children only read fairy tale books." Shen Feizhuo said childishly.

"You are just a child."

"I'm not, I've grown up!"

"Then what book do you want to read?"

Shen Feizhuo thought for a while and said, "I want to read pinyin books that only adults can read!" For kindergarten children, primary school students are adults.

Shen Duqing suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, okay, I'll buy you a pinyin book for adults."
