atypical rebirth

Because the weather was a little stuffy, Meng's father and Meng's mother spread bamboo mats in the main room and slept directly on the ground.It is impossible for the Meng family to be short of bamboo mats if it lacks anything. This is the benefit of having a bamboo craftsman at home.

Mother Meng said in a low voice: "The things my son said... are not all nonsense. We can't keep people in this place. I just hope that when Duo Duo and Xiao Zheng grow up, they can find them in the city. For work, it’s best to sit in an office like their uncle, where the wind doesn’t blow and the rain doesn’t rain... Think about it, their uncles can promote their aunts, but if our children are promising, can the children not promote us?”

Father Meng responded sullenly, indicating that he was listening.

Meng's mother said again: "So you have to be obedient and follow your son to learn more words. When your son finds a job and becomes a leader, ask him to help you, and you can go to your son's unit to show you the gate or something!"

"Why is it that I can read and you don't learn?" Dad Meng asked.

Mother Meng waved her hands and said, "I'll be a cleaner at my son's unit. That doesn't require cultural knowledge. It's not enough to look at the gate. Didn't you see that we sent pork legs to my aunt last time? Look at the gate." Those who are in charge of registering visitors must be literate!"

If what the couple said was heard by others, they would definitely think they were joking, but in fact, Meng's mother was very serious when she said this.She has limited knowledge, and many insights can only start from her cognition itself.Meng's mother really thinks that college students must have a bright future. If her son is a college student, she will really be able to work as a cleaner in his work unit in the future.As for embarrassing your son by being a cleaner?How can it be!How can she be ashamed if she doesn't steal or steal and rely on her own strength to eat?

The educational resources in Houshan Village are too scarce, and very few people really get their grades in school.So everyone's attitude towards reading is more casual.If the child's grades are not good, most parents will not force it. After the child graduates from junior high school, they will let the child go out to work to earn money.Unlike parents in cities, when they see their children's grades are not good, they enroll their children in various cram schools, insisting that their children read the grades.Meng Duo's grades were not good, but Meng's father and mother never put any pressure on her.

But if their children's grades are very good, parents will pay special attention to it.Meng Zheng's grades are good, and Meng's father and mother are looking forward to him being admitted to university.In their view, being admitted to a university at this time is similar to being admitted to the number one scholar in ancient times.

To make a digression, parents like Meng's father and mother who hold "the son can arrange a job for me when he is successful" are actually very measured. relatives and friends from all walks of life", then Meng Zheng is a typical phoenix man who came out of the countryside with a burden all over his body.

Father Meng thought for a while, and felt that what Mother Meng said made sense, but he still shook his head and said, "No, no, no, unless you come with me, and we learn together." We learn together, and if we don't learn well, we will be ashamed together.

"That's fine. Let's learn first." Meng's mother said.

Meng Zheng spent a whole noon writing a short paper of [-] words on the draft paper. The title was "On the Benefits of Parents Learning to Read", and dozens of arguments were put forward in the paper, each of which was well-founded. Just to wait for the parents to finish their nap and continue to persuade their parents.In the end, before he could perform his exercises, his parents woke up and told him, "Okay, we decided to learn from you."

Meng Zheng: "..."

What's the matter with this kind of feeling that although I got what I wanted, I still feel a little bit stuffed? !Did I write my [-]-word thesis for nothing?I still want to read the paper to you, so stop...

Granny Meng waved her cattail fan and drank a glass of water first when she entered the room. It was longan tea brewed before leaving the house. There were three or four swollen dried longans at the bottom of the cup. The water was already warm enough to drink.She is a rare fastidious person in the family, except for her, like Meng's father, Meng Duo, and mother, Meng Zheng, who came back from the outside in summer, didn't use a water press to press out a glass of cold water, and then poured it down.

The water pressed out by the pressurized water machine is clean groundwater, which can be directly imported without burning, and is very cool.They don't have running water here, and those near the back mountain directly use bamboo as a water diversion device, and the mountain spring is brought down from the mountain.Families far away from the back mountain, like the Meng family, have installed water pressure devices in their homes.

Grandma Meng doesn't like to gossip outside, and she doesn't take the initiative to gossip, but she doesn't need to pay special attention when she is at home. Gossip or something won't spread anyway, and it won't damage her image.

Grandma Meng shook her head and said, "Xingmin is a good man, but it's a pity that the son he gave birth to doesn't follow him... Xingmin's daughter-in-law took the family money and ran away. This must be wrong, but Xingmin's son is really unreliable. Xingmin When Min was still alive, his son was very rude to his mother, and I don't care to talk about the things he did. Alas, if Xingmin's daughter-in-law didn't see hope in her son, would she really be willing to abandon her son? "

Meng Zheng was stunned for a while, then said, "Grandma, don't you think Meng Jian is pitiful."

Grandma Meng thought for a while and said, "I just think...he is just like his mother, no one is much better off. The villagers now know how to pity Ah Jian, but they can't see what he has done wrong all these years."

Meng Zheng said in a joking tone: "Grandma, we don't need to pity Meng Jian. He will be a billionaire in the future!"

"You're talking nonsense again!" Mother Meng patted Meng Zheng on the back.

Meng Zheng swore that he was absolutely not talking nonsense.Meng Jian can really become a billionaire.Even though Meng Jian didn't even finish junior high school, he is capable. He just turned from a small migrant worker into a contractor, and finally became a real estate boss through hard work.This kind of life experience is so legendary that even novels dare not write it like this!

Perhaps influenced by his experience as a gangster, Meng Jian was particularly generous to the brothers and friends he identified.After he made a fortune, the few who played well with him at the beginning were all generously gifted with luxury cars and mansions.

The reborn Meng Zheng knew all these things clearly.

So, Meng Jian is currently at a low point in his life when his father died unexpectedly and his mother ran away with money. Knowing what he will experience in the future, should Meng Zheng seize this opportunity to send warmth to Meng Jian, repair the relationship with Meng Jian, and then embrace him smoothly? Get on Meng Jian's thigh and become Meng Jian's closest person?When Meng Jian gets rich, Meng Zheng will be able to lie down and win.

Meng Zheng didn't intend to do this.

Meng Zheng is actually not that high-minded, he knows in his heart that if there are many friends, there are many paths.If Meng Jian is another person, for example, a classmate of Meng Zheng, he knows that this classmate will develop very well in the future, then he will more or less show some kindness to this person, and be close to this classmate without seeking truth, At least you can't offend this person.These are all human feelings.

But because this person was Meng Jian, Meng Zheng didn't plan to pay any attention to him.Like Meng Zheng before his rebirth, the Meng family never bullied and ridiculed Meng Jian, nor did they try to curry favor with Meng Jian in the future, so that's pretty good.

Why?Because the way is different, do not seek each other.

There are two sides to different ways and not conspiring with each other. Meng Zheng doesn't like Meng Jian's way of dealing with people, and Meng Jian doesn't necessarily like people like Meng Zheng.

Meng Zheng admitted from the bottom of his heart that Meng Jian was indeed quite capable.If he had no skills, how could he be the only one out of so many migrant workers?Even if Meng Zheng was born again, he felt that he could not achieve such a large family fortune in just fifteen or sixteen years like Meng Jian.

However, it is one thing to admit that Meng Jian is great, but it is another thing to agree with Meng Jian's three views.

One must persevere in life.

Even if Meng Jian succeeded, Meng Zheng was still unwilling to give up his persistence.

What kind of person is Meng Jian?Take one thing he did.

There is a river at the end of Houshan Village, and Qianshan Village is on the other side of the river.There is a small shop in Qianshan Village, which sells oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, washing powder, etc., as well as snacks.If the children in Houshan Village have a few cents in change, they will go to the canteen to buy something to eat.Meng Zheng was often sent by his mother to buy soy sauce in the canteen.

After Meng Jian's mother ran away with the money, Meng Jian became even more messy, wandering around the villages all day, doing some sneaky things to fill his stomach.For his pity's sake, everyone talked about Meng Jian's incompetence, but if someone made buns and stewed meat at home, they would still keep Meng Jian for a meal.

Meng Jian met someone when he was wandering around.That man was a liar who came to the countryside to collect antiques.The reason why he is called a liar is because he only picks on those ignorant masters and makes up some messy stories, for example, "Our family also had such a jewelry box at the beginning. Although it was worthless, it was specially made for me by my grandfather. Grandma called it. It’s a pity that I was ignorant when I was a child, and I left the jewelry box open when I was playing with fire. My grandma is sick and confused now, and suddenly remembered the jewelry box my grandfather made for her... Can you sell it to me, I I want to take it back and show it to my grandma.” Most of the people in the countryside don’t care much about it. Hearing what he said, they thought he was a dutiful son and grandson, and he was willing to travel so far to the countryside to buy an old box for 50 yuan for the elderly in his family. The host is generous, so the host directly said: "Don't pay, this jewelry box is for you!"

In this way, scammers buy antiques at very low prices, and then sell them at high prices as soon as they turn around.

Meng Jian saw through the liar's tricks, but he didn't expose the liar's true colors. Instead, he thought of taking the liar as his teacher, and from then on, he followed the liar to eat and drink.Seeing that Meng Jian was always wandering around the villages with nothing to do every day, the liar asked Meng Jian if he had any clues about the antiques.Meng Jian really provided one.

As for the canteen, they had a tarnished suitcase, which was a dowry of an old man in the family. It looked ordinary, and they didn't know its true value, but it was actually a huanghuali official suitcase from the Qing Dynasty.Meng Jian made an agreement with the scammer, he went to cheat the box, and when he sold it, he would share it fifty-fifty.

In this way, Meng Jian bought the antique box from the canteen for five yuan through rhetoric.

But the problem is that when he bought the box, the store was in urgent need of money.They gave birth to a child. The child has a congenital disease. It is not good to see it in a small place. It needs to be seen in a big city. The doctor in the big city said that the child needs an operation, and the whole treatment process will cost at least two to three hundred thousand!Where can rural people get so much money?When Meng Jian came to the door, they were selling pots and pans to raise money for the operation!If Meng Jian told them the real value of the box, the child's life-saving money would be available.

But Meng Jian didn't.He defrauded the box with peace of mind, and handed it to the liar with peace of mind, asking him to sell it for money, intending to quietly take away the share.But Meng Jian was born in a small place. Even if he had a heart at the time, he couldn't beat the liar from the big city.The crook swallowed the box all by himself, leaving Meng Jian with nothing.

Meng Jian was furious, and cursed for a long time, and the matter leaked out of his own mouth.Only then did people know that he had cheated other people's homes of valuables.

The shop at the canteen approached Meng Jian, but Meng Jian said, "You are willing to sell the box to me yourself, and we will clear the money and the goods. You still have the face to blame me? If I don't tell you, you will never know the value of the box for the rest of your life!" Then , he ran away.Then, after several years, I heard that Meng Jian made a fortune outside and became the boss.

Knowing that after Meng Jian got rich, someone spoke up for Meng Jian, and it was indeed the canteen who was willing to sell a box for five yuan. How could Meng Jian be blamed for this?Others said that if there was no Meng Jian, no one would know the value of this box if it was left at the canteen.This thing is only valuable in the hands of people who know the goods, otherwise it is worthless.

Many people think this makes sense.

Meng Zheng didn't want to judge whether these words made sense.Meng Zheng admits that he has many advantages over Meng Jian.He just graduated from university and found a job in the city. He is considered an ordinary person, but Meng Jian has become a billionaire.Compared with Meng Jian's success, he looks like a loser.As a loser, he stopped pointing fingers at Meng Jian's road to success.Maybe those places that Meng Zheng doesn't like are the key to Meng Jian's success.

But Meng Zheng knew that he and Meng Jian were really not the same people.Before Meng Zheng was reborn, those brothers of Meng Jian had already married wives in their hometown. After being led by Meng Jian to make a fortune, they followed Meng Jian's example and had second wives, third wives, fourth wives, etc. outside. Fifth wife... When Grandma Meng mentioned this, her tone was full of disgust.

Since you are not from the same group, then don't force yourself to get together.

It's that simple!

Therefore, Meng Zheng just jokingly said to his family that Meng Jian would become a billionaire, and left Meng Jian behind.Meng Jian has a reason for his success, but Meng Zheng just wants to stick to his own path.At the moment, he just wants to teach his parents how to read.

In the evening, Teacher Meng's small class officially started!

Grandma Meng also wants to participate, and Meng Zheng supports her with both hands and feet.The personnel arrangement of the small class is as follows: head teacher Meng Zheng, deputy head teacher Meng Duo, class leader Grandma Meng, deputy class leader Meng Mama, ordinary student Meng Dad.

Father Meng: "..."

Wait, am I not the head of the family?Don't think I don't know, there is clearly a class representing this position!
