atypical rebirth

In Meng Zheng's ignorance, the butterfly effect continued.

Leader Zhang memorized Huang Mao's license plate number and reported him.When the traffic police were investigating Huang Mao's speeding and running red lights, they accidentally discovered that the driver's license Huang Mao was holding in his hand was fake, and it had really been revoked a long time ago.

So Huang Mao was detained.

When Huang Mao's sister cried to her husband about the incident and asked if there was any way to fish Huang Mao out, her husband, the foreman, suddenly became vigilant.Originally, he thought that this brother-in-law was just idle and likes to waste money, but his wife likes to pamper his brother-in-law, and the criminal foreman, seeing that his wife had been with him in the past, wanted to save money and avoid disaster, so he always kept a close eye on his brother-in-law's behavior. Close one eye.

The criminal foreman really didn't expect that this brother-in-law would dare to do things that violate the law and discipline!

How about a saying?Steal the needle when you are young, and steal the cow when you are old.If you apply for a false certificate today, if you don't restrain him, who knows what he can do tomorrow!Because Huang Mao was detained, the criminal foreman finally made up his mind not to indulge his wife and brother-in-law, no matter how deep the relationship between husband and wife is.

The criminal foreman who was determined to guard against his brother-in-law didn't know that the decision to stay away from his brother-in-law made him avoid a big disaster in the future, and indirectly affected many people and things.

……

Meng Zheng was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.He was very disappointed that he didn't win the lottery, but to be honest, it was only disappointment, not despair.His heart, which had been floating in the air since his rebirth, suddenly fell to reality because of this defeat.

He suddenly became very conscious.

It turns out that after rebirth, not everything is under control.

I'm just reborn, I'm not a god, I still have to be in awe of this world.

"If our family had won the 300 million grand prize before rebirth, but failed after rebirth, then I would have to vomit to death. But since we didn't have the 300 million before rebirth, we don't have it after rebirth. Maybe our family just doesn't have this Good luck." Meng Zheng said to himself in his heart.

Tutoring is really important. Although Meng's father and Meng's mother don't know much about the truth, they have passed on the concept of "no pain, no gain" to Meng Zheng with their practical actions for decades.

A windfall may be a good thing, but there is nothing wrong with developing step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

Although without the 300 million, the family can't buy a house or a store, and parents can't start a business, but since Meng Zheng was able to get into college with his strength before rebirth, and stay in a big city to find a good job, After rebirth, he will avoid many detours and should be able to do better.

Rebirth itself is earned, even without the 300 million, it is still earned.

Thinking of this, Meng Zheng's mood instantly improved.

Besides, he didn't buy that lottery ticket for nothing. Although he didn't win the lottery, he helped a pregnant woman on the way to buy the lottery ticket, didn't he?There were basically no pedestrians on that road. If it wasn't for Meng Zheng and Father Meng passing by, who knows what would happen to the pregnant woman in the end!

"Okay, the lottery ticket is over. What should I do next?" Meng Zheng said to himself.

He must hope that his family will become rich as soon as possible.However, the first family basically has no deposits now, so where is the capital to get rich?Second, Meng Zheng was physically young. If he suggested to his parents to set up a food stall in the city, his parents who had never left their hometown would not accept it at all, and would just think he was talking nonsense.

A flash of lightning flashed across Meng Zheng's mind.

He wants to teach his parents how to read!

It's summer vacation now. 11-year-old Meng Zheng has just finished his third grade.He will be in fourth grade when school starts again in September.Meng Zheng thought, at least before school started, he didn't plan to worry about making money to support his family anymore, he would try to teach his parents to read and write.

The Houshan Village where they live is a very remote small village in the hilly mountains in the northwest of Z Province.Poverty has led to a lack of educational resources here.People like Meng’s father and mother were born in the [-]s. If they were born in the city, they must have gone to school and knew a few words, but Meng’s father and mother were born in the mountains.Meng's mother only attended school for a few days, while Meng's father graduated from elementary school, but when he was studying, he was caught up in the ten-year catastrophe, and the school was in chaos.

It was only when Mengzheng went out of the mountain village to go to university that he realized that middle-aged people who could not read like his parents were rare in the city, and young people like him who had never seen McDonald's and KFC since childhood were also rare. Not often.But it's not their fault.They're just limited by geography.

It's not that Meng Zheng is boasting, in fact, Meng's father and Meng's mother are quite talented, and their disadvantage in this life is that they can't read.They are like the frog in "The Frog at the Bottom of the Well", but there is no kind bird to tell them how big the outside world is.

While his parents were still young, Meng Zheng wanted to be this bird.

Take Meng’s father as an example. When he was young—really young, he hadn’t married Meng’s mother at that time—he learned his craft from a carpenter, and he had a formal apprenticeship with him.The master carpenter is not only a carpenter, but also a painter.The painters at that time were different from those of today. The painters at that time were mainly responsible for painting furniture, and they had to have painting skills.Father Meng has studied with the master for several years. Not only can he do beautiful carpentry, he can also paint well. He can draw various auspicious patterns, flowers, birds, fish and insects on furniture.

It's a pity that when Dad Meng finished his studies, people suddenly began to pursue the kind of furniture produced in the factory.Although that kind of furniture is not as strong as the furniture made by old craftsmen, but their styles are novel!When young people get married, they like to go to the town to buy furniture. They think that it will save face, and the carpenter's business will become worse and worse.

Meng's father's carpenter has an older brother, who is regarded as Meng's father's uncle.The master is a bamboo stick craftsman.When Dad Meng was an apprentice carpenter, he lived and boarded at the master's house, and he took care of all the work in the master's house. He even needed him to wash the diapers of the master's grandson.Uncle Meng coveted Papa Meng's labor force, and often called Papa Meng to work in his house.Father Meng worked honestly every time, seemingly hard-working and without temper, but in fact he learned the craftsmanship of the bamboo craftsman secretly.But bamboo products are eliminated by the market economy faster.How can bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets be cheaper than plastic baskets and plastic frames!

In this way, Meng's father was almost unemployed after his studies.

As long as Meng Zheng can remember, although there are still tools for carpentry and bamboo products in the family, Meng's father basically doesn't rely on them to make money, and only occasionally makes some small furniture for his own use.When Mengzheng entered junior high school, the family's expenses gradually increased. Meng's father and mother saw that there was no way out for farming at home, so they followed their fellow villagers to the city to work as migrant workers.

Migrant workers on the construction site are divided into masons, carpenters, and steel workers.Although there are also carpenters, carpenters are mainly responsible for erecting cast-in-place concrete support frames and wooden structures of houses, which are different from carpenters.As soon as Dad Meng went to the construction site, he completely abandoned his youthful craftsmanship.

It was nothing.

For Meng's father, as long as he can support his family and pay for his children's studies, he is not afraid of hardships or tiredness.However, after Mengzheng graduated from University, people's ideas changed, and the traditional carpenter and stripper suddenly became popular.An old craftsman made a bamboo box with the words "Fu Lu Shou Xi" on it and sold it online, and a box sold for [-] yuan!This shocked Papa Meng extremely.

Father Meng once thought that his craft was for nothing, so he could only work hard on the construction site. As a result, he lost his craft for more than ten years, but suddenly realized that the craft can still make money.However, at this time, Dad Meng could no longer do fine work because his arm was injured on the construction site.

Father Meng really likes the traditional profession of carpenter and bamboo craftsman, and he is quite talented in this area.However, life played a joke on him.When he was shouldering the burden of supporting his family, his craftsmanship could not be exchanged for money; when his craftsmanship could be exchanged for money, he had already left this craftsmanship.

Although Meng's father has never shown his fragility to the outside world, Meng Zheng can vaguely feel his father's confusion and depression.Every time Meng Zheng thought of Father Meng wiping those old tools with a dry cloth, he would feel sad in his heart.

Father Meng has no education, so his knowledge is limited.He doesn't understand the world economy and future trends. When the world changes drastically, he gradually becomes out of tune with the world.

This is a kind of helplessness, but also a kind of sadness.

And now, Meng Zheng was reborn.

He can find a way to get his parents to change the way of making money, so that his father can make money without hurting his hands on the construction site.He can find a way to keep his father from letting go of his craft.But is that enough?No, it's not nearly enough.If parents are not fundamentally changed, they will still be left behind by the times.

In the next decade, home computers and smartphones will become very common.In the future, there will be e-commerce platforms, WeChat, and mobile payment... If a person can adapt to the times, then he can enjoy the convenience brought by the development of the times. And become helpless.

Meng Zheng didn't want his parents to live in this mountain village for the rest of their lives.This place is too remote to develop at all. As young people leave one after another, only a few old people are left in the mountain village.

You know, when Meng Zheng was admitted to university, Meng's father and Meng's mother were only in their early 40s. If they could live to be 80, they would have another 40 years to live!Meng Duo and Meng Zheng will definitely leave their hometown to develop in the city. Meng Zheng is reluctant to let his parents live a life of counting the days and looking forward to their children returning home for the New Year.

Therefore, Meng Zheng intends to teach his parents to read and write.

Literacy is for gaining knowledge and for having one more choice.

It wasn't that Meng Zheng had to bring his parents to the city, he just wanted to give his parents an extra chance to choose.

If parents can use computers, smartphones, e-commerce platforms, and mobile payments, then when they want to stay in the city, they can live well in the city without looking out of place, without I will have to go back to my hometown because I don’t adapt here and there.If they prefer to go back to the countryside, then when they know how to use e-commerce platforms, and use WeChat to chat with their children, voice chat and video, won’t their lives become more exciting?Meng Zheng knew that when he was admitted to university and his salary increased year by year, his parents would be proud of him and happy about it.However, if parents in their 40s can open an online store with their own abilities and do what they like, they will be even happier!

Therefore, he must teach his parents how to read!

The next day, Meng Zheng woke up very early.When he got up, Meng Duo hadn't woken up yet, and Meng's father and Meng's mother were squatting in the patio brushing their teeth.Meng Zheng dug out the first-grade Chinese textbooks of himself and his sister.

Seeing him rummaging through boxes and boxes, Dad Meng always felt that his appearance was abnormal, thinking that he was still struggling with the wasted two dollars, rinsed his mouth, and said, "Okay, don't think that those two dollars are just wasted money." By the way, if we didn't go to the town specially to buy lottery tickets, we wouldn't have happened to meet that pregnant woman. We did something good! Thinking about it this way, don't you feel better?"

This statement coincided with Meng Zheng's idea of ​​comforting himself last night.There really is a tacit understanding between father and son.

Meng Zheng handed the two textbooks to his parents and said solemnly, "Dad, Mom, starting today, I will teach you how to read."

Father Meng: "..."

Mother Meng: "..."

What is the son doing again!He is really weird!

Meng Zheng plans to start teaching Pinyin, because the Pinyin input method is really convenient!As long as Meng's father and Meng's mother learn pinyin, they will be able to operate computers and smartphones by themselves in the future.

Meng's father and Meng's mother looked at each other, thinking that Meng just wanted to be a teacher on a whim, and they probably forgot about it after a day or two of teaching, so they took the textbook and said "ah oh uh" very cooperatively. Babbling."

When Father Meng and Mother Meng were studying, Grandma Meng sat on the threshold and brushed her hair.She has to comb her hair for more than 40 minutes every morning after getting up.Such persistence is justified. Her hair is much darker and brighter than that of an old lady of the same age.To put it quietly, Grandma Meng loves beauty very much, and she likes people to praise her for her beauty the most.

After reading for 10 minutes, Meng's mother threw away the textbook: "I'm going to cook, the pig is hungry!"

Father Meng also lost his textbooks: "The weather is fine today, so I carried the corn cobs to the grain drying field to dry."

Meng Zheng couldn't stop him, so he had to say: "Then let's continue studying at noon!"

By noon, Meng's father and Meng's mother had already forgotten all the things they learned in the morning.

"Dad, Mom, are you two not studying hard? Are you coaxing me?" Meng Zheng asked.

Grandma Meng sat on the threshold, lowered her head and folded her handkerchief neatly, snorted and said, "Xiaozheng, don't test your parents, they are just two pieces of wood! In the morning, grandma sat on the side I listened to it. Grandma has memorized everything you taught me!"

As she spoke, Grandma Meng cleared her throat and began to read the pinyin: "Ah, goose! Eh, donkey!"

Grandma Meng said triumphantly, "Am I reading it right? Everyone praises my memory when I was young. Your grandpa just fell in love with me and I'm smart..."

"No, no, my grandpa obviously likes you to be beautiful!" Meng Zheng said with great desire to survive.

"That's right!" Grandma Meng laughed until her gums were exposed.
