atypical rebirth

Meng Zheng was reborn, returning from his 26th birthday to the summer vacation of his 11th birthday.

Meng Zhengquan, who was violently called up by Meng's mother, was acting on instinct, holding a curly toothbrush in his hand, and wearing an old towel with three holes around his neck, squatting in the patio to wash.He was like a fully inflated balloon, dangling in mid-air and unable to get down, without the slightest sense of down-to-earth.

Father Meng glanced at his son worriedly, ran to the kitchen to find Mother Meng, and said, "Kemei, how hard did you hit the child just now? The child won't be fooled by you, right?"

"How much strength can I use? It's just to scare him..." Mother Meng complained, stirring the pig food without raising her head.There is a small door on this side of the kitchen, and there is a pigsty out of the small door.Mother Meng cared more about the pig in the pigsty than her son who slept until noon.You can't let your baby pig get hungry!

Mothers all over the world seem to be very good at exaggerating this rhetorical technique when complaining about their children. Meng's mother said that Meng Zheng slept until noon, but in fact it is not yet nine o'clock.But compared to Grandma Meng who wakes up at 05 o'clock, Meng's father and mother Meng get up at 30:47, sister Meng wakes up before [-] o'clock, and Meng Zheng sleeps until [-]:[-] because of the sequelae of rebirth, which seems to be a bit too much.

After Meng Zheng finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, he finally felt his mind cleared up.

There is no dedicated toilet in the old house.Father Meng pulled a rope in a corner of the main room, and the whole family's towels were hung on that rope.After Meng Zheng hung up the towel, he turned his gaze and saw the calendar hanging on the wall.

His eyes widened.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the lottery draw, and an incredible serial number will be issued!

In an instant, all the thoughts in Meng Zheng's mind, such as "This doesn't seem to be a dream", "Am I really reborn", "Why am I reborn", "I was reborn like this", and all the excitement and doubts Complex emotions such as anxiety, fear, etc. were all squeezed into the corner, leaving only the word "lottery" shining golden in my mind.

There is no time to worry about it anymore, the most urgent thing now is to buy a lottery ticket!

He rushed into the kitchen, suppressed his excitement and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to town!"

"What are you going to do in town?" Dad Meng asked.

"Go buy a lottery ticket!"

Meng's mother frowned, stared, and said, "What lottery tickets are you buying! You are not allowed to buy them!"

The Meng family is a bit like a strict mother and a loving father.A lottery ticket costs two yuan. In the eyes of Meng’s mother, who advocates frugality, it’s not good to buy something for two yuan. Buying a bag of sunflower seeds can last a long time, so why buy a piece of useless torn paper?Yes, if you win the lottery, you can get hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in exchange for two yuan, but Mother Meng never expects the sky to fall.She has no culture, but believes in and practices many simple principles, one of which is no work no gain.

"Mom, I had a dream last night. I dreamed about the numbers for the next lottery." Meng Zheng said.

"Is it a daydream?" Meng's mother said perfunctorily, "Hurry up, there is still porridge in the pot, go and eat a bowl by yourself."

"It's 300 million! If you win the lottery, you can get 300 million!" Meng Zheng's voice was a little fluttering.

Meng's father and Meng's mother looked at each other.The two ignored their son and chatted on their own.

Father Meng said, "Look, are you stupid?"

"But I really didn't use much strength..." Meng's mother was a little surprised.

"Don't be sick?" Dad Meng said again.

Mother Meng touched Meng Zheng's forehead with one hand, and said, "I don't have a fever!"

Meng Zheng: "..."

Even if his parents doubted his IQ, Meng Zheng didn't want to miss the 300 million.The family situation of the Meng family was not very good until Mengzheng graduated from university.Although Meng's father and Meng's mother are hardworking people, the small mountain village where they have lived for generations is located in a hilly area, and there are not many cultivated land resources. Working from morning to night, I can't make much money from the fields.When Mengzheng was in junior high school, Meng's father and mother went to the city to work as migrant workers along with other middle-aged laborers in the village. They earned more money than they did when they were farming at home. There are also more expenses needed, and the family still has no money left.

If he can get the 300 million, Meng Zheng will take his parents to the town to buy a house, and then start a small business, the parents will be much more relaxed!

Start with 300 million, and life instantly changes from Hard mode to Easy mode.

"Mom, I swear, I can really win the lottery! I'll buy it with my pocket money, okay?" Meng Zheng begged.

"Your pocket money is not given by me and your father, what money can you earn yourself?" Meng's mother laughed angrily.

The mother and son were talking when Grandma Meng and Meng Zheng's sister, Meng Duo, came back from washing clothes in the stream.There are five permanent members of the Meng family, namely Grandma Meng, Papa Meng, Mama Meng, Meng Duo and Meng Zheng.

Suddenly seeing the healthy grandmother and the long-haired elder sister, Meng Zheng was in a daze again.Grandma Meng was paralyzed the year Meng Zhenggang started working, while Meng Duo had long hair when he was studying, and cut it short after work. Meng Zheng has not seen his grandmother walking normally and his sister with long hair for a long time. look like.

Hearing that Mengzheng wanted to buy lottery tickets, Meng Duo and Meng's mother had an opinion, saying: "With these two dollars, why not buy something? It's not practical if you have to buy it! If you think it's too much money, give it to me." , I'll save it for you."

Grandma Meng was smiling, she seemed to be helping Meng Zheng, but in fact she was still on the side of Meng’s mother and Meng Duo, and said, “Buy, let him buy it! For children, they can’t learn to walk without falling a few times.” Since he wants to throw the money into the water, let him go, so that he can know how easy it is to get rich?"

Meng Zheng was quite used to the fact that the three women in the family often stood on the united front.That's what they are!Not to mention that Meng's mother was reluctant to give up two yuan at the moment, even after Meng Zheng started working with a five-figure monthly salary, and the family situation gradually improved, Meng's mother was still reluctant to waste money.

Frugality is a virtue, and it is also a mark left by poverty.

However, Meng Zheng knew better in his heart that the three ladies in his family were all typical sharp-mouthed and tofu-hearted.Two dollars is not a lot, as long as he persists, they will follow his wishes.

Sure enough, under Meng Zheng's expectant eyes, Grandma Meng said to Dad Meng: "It just so happens that the family needs to buy some fertilizer. Aren't you planning to go to town next week? Why don't you just go today. Let me see, you If you don’t bring Xiaozheng to buy the lottery ticket, he can keep talking about it!” It’s also because Meng’s father originally planned to go to town in the near future, otherwise Grandma Meng would not be so easily persuaded by her grandson.

After lunch, Dad Meng pushed a bicycle out of the utility room.This car was bought in the year that Meng's father and Meng's mother got married. The quality of things in that era was good, and it was especially durable.This bicycle, which is older than Meng Zheng, has never broken down.But this kind of bicycle also has disadvantages. Its overall frame is particularly large, and minors like Meng Zheng are not tall enough to ride at all.

Father Meng told Meng Zheng to sit back and took him to the town.The village they lived in was called Houshan Village, and the town they were going to was called Caiqi Town.Houshan Village is quite far from Caiqi Town. It takes more than two hours to ride a bicycle and half a day to walk, which is very inconvenient.Children are not allowed to go to the town alone without an adult leading them, for fear of encountering kidnappers.

There are many villages under Caiqi Town.So many villages are scattered in twos and threes in the mountain nests, and countless roads, large and small, connect the villages together like spider webs.There are many forks in the road to Caiqi Town.

Meng Zheng was sitting on his bicycle looking around.It is not a festival of the year, and it is not a day to go to the market at the beginning of the month, so there are few pedestrians on the road.Dad Meng said, as if he had eyes on his back, "Stop dangling around, hold on tight." As soon as he finished speaking, the car bumped a bit.

The bicycle wheels ran over the potholed yellow mud road, leaving two ruts.Meng Zheng remembers very clearly that after he entered high school, the government rebuilt the road in their area, and the new road was on the other side. Now this yellow mud road that the villagers pushed spontaneously was abandoned, so that Meng Zheng Looking at the scenery along the way, I feel strange.

When he was about to reach the town, Meng Zheng saw a pregnant woman walking on the fork road on the left from a distance.They were more than [-] meters away from the pregnant woman.Meng Zheng could see clearly that the pregnant woman sat down slowly while touching a big rock, looking very uncomfortable.

Meng Zheng quickly tugged at his father's clothes and said, "Dad!"

Father Meng quickly stopped the bicycle.

The folk customs at the moment are still quite simple, and it is impossible for Pengci to exist.Seeing that the pregnant woman couldn't stand up for a long time, Meng's father hurriedly handed over the bicycle to Meng Zheng, and ran over to ask if the pregnant woman needed help.

The pregnant woman was six months pregnant.She said with a pale face that her husband had gone out to work, and there was a mother-in-law who was paralyzed by a stroke at home. She was going to the hospital in the town to get medicine for her mother-in-law, but her stomach hurt for some reason.Although the pain can be tolerated, but there are no shops in the vicinity, and Father Meng must not leave the pregnant woman here.After carefully asking about the pregnant woman's situation, seeing that she could barely sit up, Father Meng helped the pregnant woman onto the back seat of the bicycle, and asked Meng Zheng to support the pregnant woman's waist while he pushed the bicycle and walked towards the town.

When they arrived at the town hospital, Father Meng took Meng Zheng to accompany the pregnant woman for an examination.Fortunately, the condition of the pregnant woman is not very serious because she was sent to the doctor in time.The pregnant woman only brought the money to buy medicine for her mother-in-law, not enough for her own examination, so Dad Meng took out the money that was going to be used to buy fertilizer, and advanced some for the pregnant woman.The pregnant woman thanked Meng's father a thousand times, carefully explained the information about her family, and asked which village Meng's father was from, and said that she would ask someone to send the money to Meng's father in a few days.

After this busy process, Meng's father didn't buy fertilizer, he only led Meng Zheng to buy a lottery ticket and went home.

Meng Zheng put the lottery ticket carefully in his trouser pocket, it was 300 million!He was very happy.But he didn’t want to. After returning home, Meng’s father secretly went to talk to Meng’s mother again, saying: “Your son must be stupid! Guess what lottery ticket he bought? A series of consecutive numbers! That’s all, he thought he could win the lottery Woolen cloth!"

Meng's mother couldn't help laughing: "I thought he dreamed of some fairy number!"

Meng's father was worried again: "This child is a bit lacking in understanding."

"It just so happened that the fisherman came in the afternoon, so I bought a big silver carp and cooked the fish in the evening to nourish his mind!" In remote mountain villages like theirs where transportation is inconvenient, there are still such jobs as shopkeepers.They carry the goods around the villages to earn some hard money. Those who specialize in tofu are called Tofu Lang, and those who specialize in fish are called Yu Lang.

When eating dinner, Meng's mother put the fish head into her own bowl as usual.

Everyone is used to it.However, the reborn Meng Zheng suddenly felt that his eye sockets were a bit astringent.Meng's mother always said that she didn't like fish meat, but only fish heads.As a child, he foolishly believed it.But after he graduated from university, the family's economic conditions gradually improved, and Meng's mother never ate fish heads again.At that time, the fish heads were all eaten by wild cats.This shows that Meng's mother doesn't really like fish heads that much.Now she only picks up the fish heads to eat, it is clearly a motherly heart, and she wants to leave all the good things to her children!

Meng Zheng prides himself on being an adult, how could he be willing to let his mother wrong him like this!He quickly snatched the fish head from his mother's bowl with chopsticks, took another piece of meat from the belly of the fish for his mother, and said, "Mom, you eat this...I will eat the fish head."

Mother Meng: "..."

Father Meng quickly put the fish head back into Mother Meng's bowl, patted the back of Meng Zheng's head with his left hand, and said unhappily, "It's such a big fish! Why do you want to grab the fish head from your mother!" The daughter-in-law will eat this one, and the unfilial son dares to snatch it from the daughter-in-law!

Meng Zheng faintly felt that something was wrong.The relationship between his parents is very good, and his father should also be reluctant to watch his mother wrong him.Does mom really like to eat fish heads?No, it must be that my mother's acting skills are so good that she not only fooled him when he was a child, but also fooled my father.Meng Zheng said to his father with a serious face: "Dad, I read a story in a book two days ago. In the story, my mother always only ate fish heads and fish tails. She insisted that she loved it, but in fact it was to save fish meat." Feed the kids..."

Before Meng's father could say anything, Meng's mother laughed and dismantled Meng Zheng: "Ah, then you misunderstood, I just love fish heads."

"Mom, don't lie to me, the fish head has no meat..."

"You can't insult my delicious fish head!" Meng's mother pretended to be angry and said.

Meng Zheng: "..."

Mom was not moved.Dad was a little moved, and he said to his mother quite gratifiedly: "Kemei, the child is thinking of you, and I am afraid that you will wrong me." Their children are so sensible!

Meng's mother snorted, and tapped Meng Zheng's forehead: "You, don't believe too much in the book. Don't worry, mother will definitely not wrong herself." She did love her child, but she also regarded herself as a child. Personally, I would not be like some women in the village who lowered themselves to the dust because of their status as wives and mothers.

Meng Zheng's filial piety did not succeed.He really believed that his mother loved fish heads.However, if my mother really loves to eat fish heads, then why will the fish heads at home be fed to wild cats in the future?The reborn Meng Zheng couldn't figure it out.

Before going to bed that night, Meng's mother, who didn't know that she would not eat the fish head because of all kinds of unreliable knowledge of health preservation and firmly believed that there were a lot of parasites in the fish head, said quietly to her husband that night : "I also found out that your son is really weird today."

Father Meng hesitated for a moment, then retorted quietly but firmly, "...it's your son."

Today's son seems a little silly.Such a fool must not be my son, it must be your son!
