atypical rebirth

A few days later, the Meng family sent a package to Meng Zheng through the post office.

Meng Zheng rode Shen Duqing's bicycle to the post office to pick up the courier.In addition to some souvenirs, there were also three Baijia clothes for babies in the package. It seemed that they were prepared for the triplets in Teacher Xu's family.There is a saying that Baijiayi gathers the blessings of hundreds of families. People believe that wearing Baijiayi for children will make them less sick and less disaster.

Many places have the custom of sewing Baijia clothes. First, they ask relatives and friends from various households for scattered rags, and then sew them into a piece of clothing for children to wear.But here, they are more particular about asking for fabrics. What they ask for are not scattered rags, but the old clothes that the children of the family have worn and put in the bottom of the box.

Whose family style is upright, fathers are kind and mothers are filial, happy and harmonious, and the children of this family are smart and less sick since childhood, then the old clothes of this family will be very popular.It is generally believed that if such a child's old clothes are used to sew Baijia clothes, then the child wearing the clothes will be as smart and healthy as this child.

It doesn't matter if the clothes are old or worn out, the more worn the clothes are, the more popular they are.

In recent years, many old clothes of Meng Duo and Meng Zheng have been given away.

Shen Duqing invited Meng Zheng to live in his home at the end of May. Grandma Meng and Mother Meng have been preparing Baijiayi since then. They asked many qualified people they had made friends with and asked for their children's old clothes, and finally sewed them out. I bought three Baijia clothes.Although the clothes are made in a hurry, the first stitches and threads are not sloppy.

Meng Zheng gave the clothes to Grandma Shen, and Grandma Shen took them away for the triplets to wear on the same day.

Because Baijiayi is made of old clothes, Grandma Meng and Mother Meng were not sure whether people in the city would be jealous when they sewed clothes, so they rinsed the clothes carefully after they bought the old clothes. After disinfecting and drying, and finally designing a beautiful pattern according to the color of the fabric, the coat was made.Although the three Baijia garments are made of a lot of fabrics, the needlework is so delicate that there are almost no thread ends.

Zhou Beili sighed again and again: "It really bothered them."

Several adults in the Xu family are educators. They all believe in science and reject superstition. A blessing, every stitch and thread is a heart!Zhou Beili felt very touched.

Originally, Teacher Xu and Zhou Beili liked Meng Zheng very much, but once Baijiayi came out, they got closer.

Grandma Meng didn't leave Shen Feizhuo either, and sewed a pouch for Shen Feizhuo, with a small dinosaur embroidered on it, which was embroidered with reference to the dinosaurs in fairy tale books.Shen Feizhuo liked it so much, he hung the purse on the bedside.

The main color of the purse is blue, and the sound of "blue" is the same as "block", which means to block evil spirits and filth from the outside.

"The little purse that the prince certainly doesn't have, I have it." Shen Feizhuo whispered to his brother proudly.

Since the boy among the triplets was discharged from the hospital, although Xu's family hired an escort, the triplets were too difficult to take care of. Grandma Shen and aunt Zhou Beili could only be around the triplets all day long, too busy to care about other things up.Shen Duqing was originally worried that Shen Feizhuo would be lost, but he didn't expect that Meng Zheng's appearance completely diverted Shen Feizhuo's attention.

Teacher Xu's mother-in-law heard that Shen Duqing and Shen Feizhuo had moved back to her home. Even Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen moved there together, and ran to Xu's house with their luggage, saying that they wanted to take care of their daughter and grandson.

Zhou Beili said helplessly: "Mom, the family has hired a nurse and an hourly worker, so there is no need to tire you."

Zhou's mother came very suddenly, and she didn't say she wanted to stay before she came.She directly swaggered and carried her luggage to the master bedroom—this was originally the room of Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen—pretending to be staying in Xu’s house, and said happily: Tired, I am willing to help my daughter look after the child."

When Shen Duqing received the call and knew Zhou's mother was coming, he hesitated for a moment, and said to Meng Zheng, "Grandma Feng is my aunt's mother, and she doesn't like me." Zhou's mother's surname is Feng, and Shen Duqing called her grandma out of politeness.

This is obviously something!It was rare to see Shen Duqing showing a distressed expression, and Meng Zheng quickly put on the appearance of a caring big brother, and asked, "What do you say?"

Shen Duqing said: "Actually, I don't like her either. She always talks nonsense in front of Feizhuo. Every time she comes, I have to watch Feizhuo very closely. I'm afraid that she will take advantage of me. Pay attention to talking nonsense to Fei Zhuo again. However, she is my aunt's mother after all, and I can't be rude to her. My aunt is very good to us."

If Shen Duqing's parents are still alive, if Shen Duqing is a child who can hide behind his parents after getting into trouble, he can definitely put his dislike on the surface.When Zhou's mother deliberately said something like "this is not your home" to Shen Feizhuo, he could have rushed up and told Zhou's mother to get the hell out.

However, with his parents gone, Shen Duqing became very sensible.

Shen Duqing never complained about Mother Zhou in front of his uncles and aunts, he didn't even complain in front of his grandparents.This is not because there is a gap between him and them. In fact, the closer the relationship is, the less he knows how to say some words.Shen Duqing didn't want to make things difficult for his uncles, aunts, and grandparents.Meng Zheng is not a relative of Shen Duqing, but because Meng is an "outsider", some things are easier to say.

Meng Zheng could understand Shen Duqing's behavior.When he was in high school, he could say to his friends, I really want to learn a musical instrument, but he would not say such things to his parents, because he was afraid that what he said unintentionally would burden their parents.When he starts working, he can tell his colleagues that he has been under a lot of work pressure recently and has not slept well this week, but he will not tell his parents such things because he is afraid that they will worry.

"It's her business that she doesn't like us, and there is always her reason. I don't ask her to like us. But, she can't point fingers at Feizhuo and make irresponsible remarks, right?" Shen Duqing said.

Through getting along these days, Meng Zheng knew how well-behaved the two children Shen Duqing and Shen Feizhuo were, so he stood uprightly on Shen Duqing's side and said, "Since you don't like her, you don't want to see her... Isn't there a kitchen nearby, I'll cook for you, so don't take Feizhuo to look at her face."

"Can you?" Shen Duqing's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's fine, as long as your grandparents have no objections." Meng Zheng said.

Shen Duqing really didn't want to see Zhou's mother, so he hurriedly said, "I'll tell grandma later that Feizhuo and I won't go to uncle's place for dinner these days." He hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Are you really good at cooking? ?"

"Of course!" Meng Zheng was very confident in his cooking skills.Since he started working, he has always cooked and eaten by himself. It is not a problem to say that he has done a particularly good job, but there is absolutely no problem in cooking some ordinary home-cooked dishes.

"Then... if you cook, I can wash the dishes by myself." Shen Duqing said with a smile.

Shen Duqing told his grandmother about his plan that day.Grandma Shen didn't agree at first, but she also knew how dumb her in-laws' mouth was.This time, the in-laws obviously want to live here permanently, there is no reason in the whole world for a daughter not to live with her mother after she gets married.Grandma Shen couldn't drive her in-laws out, because that would be throwing her daughter-in-law's face on the ground!In this way, it seems that there are only two children, Shen Duqing and Shen Feizhuo, who can be wronged.

Shen Duqing didn't feel aggrieved at all, he didn't have to take his younger brother to see Zhou's mother, let alone how happy he was.

This day's lunch was cooked by Meng Zheng. He made beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and stir-fried a small cabbage. The portions of both dishes were quite large.At noon, only he and Shen Duqing ate, and two dishes were enough.

When Meng Zheng was cooking, Shen Duqing circled around him, exclaiming from time to time, like a little fool who had never seen the world.The little fool asked curiously: "God, how do you know how much salt to add? How do you know that the salt is suitable without even tasting it? Will it be too much? Will it be less?"

Meng Zheng asked helplessly, "Why didn't you have so many questions when your grandma was cooking?"

"But my grandmother is an adult. We are children."

"You must not be heard by Feizhuo. He wants to take off the hat of 'adult' most now."

The two elder brothers laughed happily.

"There is too much oily smoke in the kitchen, you can go and stay in the living room, I'll finish it right away." Meng Zheng said.

Shen Duqing shook his head, and continued to circle around Meng Zheng.

Meng Zheng handed Shen Duqing a rag: "Go and wipe the table we eat on."

Shen Duqing took the rag and obediently went to the living room to wipe the table.While wiping, he suddenly realized something was wrong, turned around and ran back to the kitchen, and asked, "Did you ask me to wipe the table because you wanted to drive me out of the kitchen?"

"No!" Meng Zheng refused to admit it.

Shen Duqing was silent for a moment, and complained: "You should really look in the mirror, the expression on your face is exactly the same as when you coaxed Feizhuo to eat fruit!"

Tsk, four or five year olds are easy to cheat, but twelve or thirteen year olds are not.

During the meal, Grandma Shen came over to take a look. Seeing that the dishes were well prepared, she was relieved, but she still felt guilty and said to Meng Zheng very embarrassedly: "Xiao Meng, I asked you to cook... "

"You must not say that. Originally, I lived here for nothing, but I was actually very embarrassed. Now that I can help with something, I feel more at ease." Meng Zheng also made a joke on purpose, " Fortunately, Shen Duqing likes to eat the dishes I cook, and now I finally have the guts to live on."

"You child! We don't know how happy you are to come and live here." Grandma Shen said.

In the evening, Meng Zheng made a dish of sliced ​​cucumber.When eating, Meng Zheng picked up some cucumber slices for Shen Feizhuo with the public chopsticks.Shen Feizhuo stared at the cucumber in his bowl bitterly.Meng Zheng was blowing rainbow farts aside: "Wow, Feizhuo is indeed an adult, Feizhuo is not picky at all. Feizhuo is really amazing! I like Feizhuo best."

Shen Feizhuo originally wanted to ask his brother why the three of them were the only ones having dinner together today, but he forgot this question in an instant when Meng Zheng took him around.Bearing the heavy love of Brother Meng, he obediently ate the cucumber.

After dinner, the two elder brothers led Xiao Feizhuo downstairs for a walk.

Xiao Feizhuo heard two mothers chatting in the garden of the community, and it was all short words from some parents.Children of his age love to observe and imitate adults.Adults always think that they cannot understand what adults say, but this is not the case. Children will digest and understand what adults say in their own way.

In Xiao Feizhuo's curious eyes, one mother complained to the other mother: "The two children in our family, the elder sister has always been very good, but the younger sister is not good. The younger sister is too difficult to take care of. During the meal ahead..."

Xiao Feizhuo was thoughtful.He has two elder brothers, his own elder brother is very good, but Meng elder brother is very difficult to coax, he has to watch him eat a few mouthfuls of unpalatable cucumbers to make Meng elder brother feel happy, why is Meng elder brother so difficult to take care of.

The prince was also taken for a walk by his grandparents, saw Xiao Feizhuo from a distance, waved excitedly at Xiao Feizhuo, ran towards Xiao Feizhuo, and said, "Shen Feizhu! Shen Feizhu! Let's play together! "His pitch is too high, his voice is too high-pitched, and "turbidity" sounds a lot like "pig".His grandma was embarrassed and hurriedly corrected his pronunciation.

Xiao Fei was so angry that she didn't want to talk to the prince.

But in the end, Xiao Feizhuo was still dragged by the prince to play the game of you shoot one and I shoot one.

--------

Grandpa Shen: "This year's students are really difficult to guide."

Shen Feizhuo looked at Meng Zheng who came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, and then sighed: "This year's elder brother is really difficult to take care of."
