atypical rebirth

Following Grandma Meng into the door was Meng Zheng's uncle and uncle, and following the uncle was Meng Xinhua.Uncle Meng was carrying the burden, and Father Meng hurried over to help, unloading the burden from his elder brother.

"It's so heavy! Brother, what good things did you bring?" Dad Meng asked with a smile.

Uncle Meng wiped his sweat with the towel wrapped around his neck, and panting, he said, "Grandpa Xinhua got a deer two days ago. We rarely see a deer in this place, and Xinhua's mother doesn't know how to do it, so I just let it go." I brought it to you. There are also wild pears and chestnuts. The chestnuts are new, and everyone knows that Xiaozheng likes to eat raw chestnuts, so I didn't let Xinhua's mother ripen them, so I sent you half a basketful of raw chestnuts."

Meng Duo cheered, and ran to Uncle Meng to look through the baskets, wild pears were her favorite.

Grandpa Meng found a few wild pear trees in the mountains a few years ago. The fruits were not tasty, bitter and astringent. Grandpa Meng grafted them, and when he thought about it, he would apply some fertilizer.After several years of cultivation, the newly grown wild pears are small in size, thick in skin and ugly in appearance, but taste quite good.Few people go to the depths of the mountain. Grandpa Meng takes his daughter and son-in-law to pick pears every year.

Chestnuts are also self-supporting on the mountain, so you don’t need to worry about them at ordinary times, and you can pick them when the season comes.

Mother Meng patted Meng Duo on the back, shook her head and said, "I just know how to eat... Your uncle has walked such a long distance with his burden, and you don't know how to pour him a glass of water first."

Meng Duo stuck out his tongue, and immediately ran to the kitchen to pour a cold glass.If a guest comes to the house, according to the local customs, a cup of tea water or sugar water should be made, so that the hospitality can show the importance of the host family.But my uncle is from my own family, so there is no need to be so polite. Instead, boiled water is the best way to quench my thirst.

Mother Meng hung the roe deer meat that had been processed under the eaves with a bamboo pole, and said to Uncle Meng with a smile: "Brother, you came just in time. There is a teacher in the city who gave Xiaozheng some study materials. I don't know what to do. How to return the gift, you will send the roe deer meat. I will add another smoked chicken and a piece of bacon, so the gift will be complete?"

Uncle Meng took the cup in Meng Duo's hand, gulped down half of it, then heaved a sigh of relief, and asked with concern: "Is a piece of roe deer meat enough? Your sister and I still have a pork leg at home." Well, it was left over when the pig was slaughtered last year, and it was salted, well salted, and decent to give away.”

In Uncle Meng's view, those who work hard to eat like himself are "low class people", and those who rely on their brains to eat like teachers are "high class people". Children study hard to become "high class people".The teacher in that city is willing to send materials to the children, so as parents, they must repay the teacher well.

Meng Zheng hurriedly said: "Uncle, Mom, there is no shortage of meat in the city. Let's tidy up the chestnuts and wild pears and send them over in a basket. They will definitely be more popular than the pork leg and bacon you mentioned."

"Nonsense! Chestnuts and wild pears are not valuable things. There are everywhere in the mountains and plains. Where can I give them away?" Meng's mother said.

"Mom, how can there be mountains in the city? You just listen to me, people really don't lack meat, but they lack such a mouthful of fresh chestnuts and wild fruits."

The whole family participated in the discussion.In the end, Grandma Meng made a final decision and gave Mr. Xu roe roe meat, smoked chicken, bacon, and a basket of chestnuts and wild pears.

Uncle Meng said: "I will ask the people in your village to help take it next week, right? Chestnuts can't be kept, so I will send you some fresh ones next week. Fresh."

Meng Xinhua was very interested in the learning materials that everyone said.

Meng Zheng took the initiative to take out the documents from the house, and said, "Sister, you can read it too."

Meng Xinhua first flipped through Shen Duqing's Chinese notes, and said with emotion: "Their compositions are really well written. Look at this famous saying, I've never heard of it before." Then flipped through the math notes, Meng Xinhua A troubled expression appeared on his face: "The topic is so difficult...I have never seen the topic on this page before."

"These are Mathematical Olympiad questions." Meng Zheng said.

Meng Xinhua asked: "Can you do it?"

Naturally, Meng Zheng would.

Seeing Meng Zheng nodded, Meng Xinhua heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good if you know how to do it, you can teach me." She didn't plan to go to Yakao and junior high school, because she didn't learn English before. Blitz out.But she can't see that she can't do it if she has a problem, which will make her feel very uneasy.She is like a little hamster, she tries to figure out the problems she can't solve, and gradually accumulates a lot of knowledge points.

Meng Zheng also had this plan, wanting to teach Meng Xinhua some more topics.Although Meng Xinhua doesn't take Ya and Mathematical Olympiad, it's always good to cultivate more problem-solving ideas.The higher you stand, the more you see, the better your grades will be.

Uncle Meng sat aside and chatted with Dad Meng about the serious matter of supplying wood and bamboo, but he still paid a little attention to the chat between his daughter and Meng Zheng.

Hearing Meng Xinhua's words, Uncle Meng immediately turned his head and said to the children: "Yes, let Xiaozheng teach you more. You should study hard. Xiaoduo, Xiaozheng and Xinhua, you are all the same, wait When you are admitted to university, I will set off firecrackers for you, from the head of our village all the way to the door of your house! It will cost hundreds of dollars!"

The two girls just pursed their lips and smiled, Meng Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

The Meng family reserved a room for Uncle Meng, and Uncle Meng would stay for one night before returning to the mountains the next day.Meng Xinhua even lived directly at Meng Zheng's house, sleeping in the same room with Meng Duo, and they would go to school together on school day.They often do this. Sometimes when they have weekends off, Meng Xinhua doesn't go back to his own house, so he stays at Meng Zheng's house.

So, the three siblings really grew up together.

The relationship between them is very good. This is not to say that they don't quarrel at ordinary times, but that they are still the closest brothers and sisters after they have quarreled.When Meng Zheng was young, whenever the two older sisters quarreled, Meng Zheng would stand in line. Xiao Mengzheng asked if he could have both, but the older sisters said no, there must be me without her and her without me.

When Xiaomeng was crying and making painful choices, the sisters...they reconciled.

Xiao Mengzheng: "???"

Meng Duo and Meng Xinhua were very affectionate, and they attacked Xiao Mengzheng together.Meng Duo said to Xiao Mengzheng: "Xiaozheng, Sister Xinhua is always so kind to you, you don't choose her, it's useless to love you!" Meng Xinhua also said: "Xiaozheng, your clothes this morning are still yours. Sister Duo helped you wear it, why didn't you choose your sister Dodo?"

In this way, Xiao Mengzheng became the stepping stone of the friendship between the two sisters.

Xiao Mengzheng didn't understand, why was he the one who got hurt when the sisters quarreled?

Father Meng touched Xiao Mengzheng's head, gloated and said, "Smart men will never let themselves get involved in women's grievances." At that time, martial arts dramas were on the air, and the word "resentment and hatred" was very popular. .

Xiao Mengzheng half understood what he heard.

Then Dad Meng was knocked on the head by Grandma Meng because "teach the child some messy things".

Uncle Meng and Meng Xinhua comfortably went to get their towels from the hanging rope and prepared to wash.

The temperature in the mountains is lower than that in the city, and the night in October is already a bit chilly.

The Meng family has already used hot water for washing.There are two stoves in the kitchen. When cooking in the outer pot, a pot of water is placed in the inner pot.When the rice is ready, the water is also hot.Half an hour after the meal, when I washed with the water in the inner pot, the water was still hot, so I had to add some cold water.

Under normal circumstances, no matter who is the first to go to the kitchen to mix the water, he will help others to mix the water by the way.

If Grandma Meng is the first to wash up, even though she is the oldest in the family, she doesn't mind mixing face water for her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren.If Meng Duo was the first to wash up, she would of course follow the example of her parents and do the work quickly.Because of this, Meng Zheng and Meng Duo often do things like pouring water for the faces and feet of the elders, and there will never be scenes that move the elders to tears like in the public service advertisements.

On this day, two brothers, Uncle Meng and Papa Meng, were in charge of pouring water.

As soon as Uncle Meng poured water into some washbasins, Father Meng yelled into the main room, "Wash your face and feet! Squad leader, deputy squad leader, I've poured water, hurry up and wash your face! Squad leader! Deputy squad leader!" !” Obviously this is a very common thing, but being called out by Meng’s father like this, it seems that the Meng family’s bureaucratic style is very serious, and it looks like a campus bullying scene.

People who don't know think how badly ordinary students are enslaved by class leaders.

The National Day holiday is over, and Meng Zheng is going back to school.Before going to school, he assigned homework to the elders.Regarding the three books he brought back, he asked the elders to read three idiom stories a week, trying to master the three idioms in a week, and then read a Western fable and an ancient Chinese wisdom story.After that, write a post-reading review of at least [-] words, preferably using the idioms learned this week.

Frankly speaking, such homework tasks are not heavy.

Mother Meng and Grandma Meng took a little time to come every night, and they finished their homework in two days.Mother Meng's post-reading reflections were written by herself.Grandma Meng's post-reading impressions were dictated by Grandma Meng, and Mum Meng helped to write it down.But even though Dad Meng heard his daughter-in-law read the stories in the book, he still didn't know what to write.

Meng Zheng specially prepared homework books for the parents.Where the name should have been written on the cover, the words "Grandma", "Mom" and "Dad" were written instead of the name.The class is "Meng's small classroom".Seeing that Wednesday is almost over, Dad's homework is still blank.

Papa Meng touched the word Papa on the cover.Does dad have to hand in blank papers this week?

On Wednesday night, it rained suddenly and the temperature dropped sharply.

Early on Thursday morning, Meng's mother sent Meng's father to school to deliver thick clothes to the children.

When Dad Meng arrived at school, it was time for class.He didn't dare to disturb the teacher's class, so he stood outside the big iron gate of the school and waited for the get out of class to end.In junior high school, there was a class in physical education, and two boys hid behind the iron gate to chat.

One of the boys said: "What did the old class ask you to do?"

"I didn't do my homework well during the holiday, so I was scolded!"

"Cheng Fang won't help you with your homework?"

"I broke up with her."

……

Father Meng stood outside the iron gate, frowning when he heard it.After a while, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, and an expression of enlightenment appeared on his face.This sudden realization quickly turned into entanglement.After struggling for a while, Dad Meng made a very important decision.

Meng's mother found that since her father returned from delivering clothes at school, he always hesitated to speak to her.But whenever Mum Meng passed her eyes over to signal him to fart, Dad Meng turned his head away with a very guilty conscience.Meng's mother couldn't understand him like this, and she frowned.

"Are you in trouble?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Father Meng quickly shook his head in denial.

This procrastination dragged on until night.When Meng's father and Meng's mother were soaking their feet in the same basin, there happened to be an emotional mediation program on TV, which talked about marriage law.Father Meng had an idea, pointed to the TV and said, "Ke Mei, you watched what was said on TV that the money earned after marriage is the joint property of the husband and wife."

"Why, do you have an opinion?" Mother Meng asked a little irritably.She always felt that her husband had something to say.

"No, no, no, I don't have any objections. I think this law is very right!" Father Meng wished he could swear to the sky, "It's so right! Husband and wife are one body, and the money earned after marriage must be the joint property of the husband and wife!"

"Then why are you so excited?"

"Just... that... so the homework obtained after marriage should also belong to the joint homework of husband and wife?"
