atypical rebirth

The village where Ms. Meng's natal family lives is called Woshan Village, which is even more remote than Houshan Village.After all, Houshan Village is located at the foot of the mountain, and there is a yellow mud road leading to the town, but Woshan Village is deep in the mountain, and only a small road dug along the mountain wall can lead to the outside world.Woshan Village is a small village with only seven or eight households.

Meng Zheng's grandmother passed away when he was a child, but his grandfather is still alive.By the time Meng Zheng was admitted to university, his grandfather was already in his 80s, and his body was still very strong.The old man set a lot of traps on the mountain, and he had to go around the mountain every day, and he could often catch some wild animals, most of which were hares.

Hunting and eating meat is a very common thing in a remote mountain village like theirs.

Meng Zheng didn't think it was a big deal at first, but when he walked out of the mountain village and saw a lot of social news, he broke out in a cold sweat.The wild boar turned out to be a second-class protected animal!Hunting wild boars is illegal!

Meng Zheng was trembling while holding the "Wild Animal Protection Law".

Fortunately, this second-level protected animal was set up later. When Meng Zheng was a child, wild boars were not protected. Grandpa did hunt wild boars at that time, and even brought a wild boar leg to Meng's family.When the wild boars were protected, grandpa would be old, and the traps were not deep enough. He usually only catches rabbits, so he would not easily provoke wild boars.

Grandparents only gave birth to two daughters in this life.Mother Meng has no brothers, only one sister named Meng Kezhu.Meng Kezhu's husband, Meng Mantang, is Papa Meng's older brother.

When Meng Zhengsan was four years old, he was often confused by his relatives at home. Why was his great aunt both his great aunt and his great aunt?Why is his uncle both his uncle and his great uncle?In fact, the reason is very simple. A pair of sisters from Meng's mother happened to marry a pair of brothers from Meng's father.

In other words, Meng Zheng's great aunt and his great uncle happened to be a couple.

The reason why they got married like this started with Meng Mantang's unlucky experience.

Back then, when Meng Mantang was old enough to marry, the matchmaker introduced a girl from Yangshan Village to the Meng family.Yangshan Village is a bit far from Houshan Village, and you have to climb two mountains to get there.The matchmaker boasted about the girl.The Meng family originally thought that the matchmaker’s words could not be fully believed, but when Meng Mantang was led by his parents to go on a blind date with the girl, they found that the matchmaker was not lying. With dimples on his face, he is still a good hand at work!The Meng family is very satisfied with this girl named "Song Pan'er".

After the blind date, the marriage is considered settled.

As a result, on the day of the official marriage, the bride was sent to the Meng family. Only then did the Meng family know that the bride who was actually sent to the Meng family was not the girl from the blind date at all, but the girl's cousin. A disabled person who cannot walk well with his left foot.The Meng family was furious, and it wasn't that they looked down on the disabled, but this behavior of the Song family was obviously a fraudulent marriage!

The Song family said confidently that the girl they were going to marry was Song Pan'er, and the girl the matchmaker told the Meng family was also Song Pan'er, and the disabled girl was called Song Pan'er.As soon as they released the girl to Meng's house, they wanted to confirm the marriage.As for Song Pan'er, she didn't say a word, she just cried, and those who didn't know thought how the Meng family bullied her.

According to the local customs, when a girl wears a wedding dress and enters the man's house, she is considered a member of the man's family.Some people watched the excitement and persuaded the Meng family, "This girl is only slightly lame in her left foot. It's not a big problem, and it won't delay the succession of the family. Since she has entered the door of the Meng family, you should admit it. Otherwise, this girl's reputation will be ruined, won't this force her to die?"

Grandma Meng was so angry that her whole body was trembling, since the girl's reputation was the most important thing in her daring, their old Meng's family was going to admit this loss?If this girl was the one who went on a blind date at the beginning, and if the girl was capable, they might not really dislike her.But if the Song family played this trick, it was a fraudulent marriage!The Meng family couldn't swallow this breath!

Grandma Meng had an idea, whispered a few words in Meng Mantang's ear, and then said loudly and in a voice that everyone could hear: "Mantang, look at this..."

According to the method his mother taught him, Meng Mantang picked off the big red flower on his chest, threw it on the ground, and said, "This girl wants to stay at our house? Okay, she stays, I'll go!" Then , Meng Mantang ran away, and disappeared completely after this run.

Meng Mantang did not come back for a whole year.No one knew where Meng Mantang had gone, but when they asked the Meng family, Grandma Meng could only cry and Grandpa Meng could only sigh.Originally, public opinion was biased, but now that the Meng family's son was forced away by the Song family, the Meng family was obviously more pitiful, so the public opinion was completely on the side of the Meng family.The Song family had no choice but to take Song Pan'er back.

A year later, the Meng family wanted to find another marriage for Meng Mantang.When the Song family heard the news, they even made a fuss over the Meng family again. They tried their best to make the Meng family feel better anyway.The Meng family was almost disgusted by the Song family.Later, for some reason, the Meng family got to know Meng Zheng's grandfather.Meng Zheng's grandfather only had two daughters, and the eldest daughter wanted to stay at home to recruit a wife.

Grandma Meng told Grandpa Meng Zheng that Meng Mantang would not be a son-in-law, but anyway, both families have the surname Meng, and the child will also be surnamed Meng in the future. You can say that the child has the surname of the father, or the surname of the mother, or not. Good?Also, after Meng Mantang got married, he could live in Woshan Village for most of the year, and he could be filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law just like his own parents.

Meng Zheng's grandfather agreed.

Outsiders didn't know the agreement between the two of them, and thought that Meng Mantang had really married.Meng Mantang is the eldest son!The Song family forced a good son of the Meng family to have a family and could not return, and the Meng family completely took advantage of it.

When Meng Mantang's marriage was settled, Grandma Meng started to fight back.She deliberately found several helpers, and went to the village head of Yangshan Village every now and then to cry and scold.Then, the Song family became famous.It is said that Song Pan'er's cousin, the one who pretended to be Song Pan'er and Meng Mantang on a blind date, was discussing marriage, but now the marriage is difficult.

In the second year of Meng Mantang and Meng Kezhu's marriage, Meng's father and Meng's mother saw each other because they often visited relatives. Anyway, people in the mountains are not so particular, so they also got married.

Now, Meng Mantang and Meng Kezhu live with Grandpa Meng and are responsible for supporting Grandpa Meng. Meng Mancang and Meng Kemei live with Grandma Meng and are responsible for supporting Grandma Meng. The two families move around very frequently and get along almost like a family.

Meng Mantang lives in the mountains with his father-in-law, burns charcoal in winter and hunts in summer, and brings a lot of charcoal and meat to Grandma Meng every year. He is a very filial person.Meng Mantang and Meng Kezhu only had one daughter, Meng Xinhua, who was both Meng Zheng's cousin and Meng Zheng's cousin, and was about the same age as Meng Duo, so they had a good relationship.

About two weeks had passed since Mengzheng went to the town to buy a lottery ticket. A young man carrying two big sacks came to Meng's house after someone instructed him.The young man called himself Yu Jun, Yu Juhua's natal cousin.Yu Juhua was the pregnant woman rescued by Meng's father and Meng Zheng.

When Yu's cousin came, Meng's father and Meng's mother were working in the field.Grandma Meng instructed Meng Zheng to make tea for Yu Jun and chat with Yu Jun in person.After Meng Zheng poured the water, he ran to the field to call his parents.

Yu Jun took out the money from his close pocket, held it up with both hands and handed it to Grandma Meng, and said sincerely: "This is the medical expenses you paid for my sister back then, and I brought it here. My sister said, thanks to you!" "

As he said that, Yu Jun took out the thank you gifts from the sack again. In addition to two new schoolbags, one blue and one pink, there were also home-dried bamboo shoots and bacon made from a pork rib.Grandma Meng couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.But she definitely didn't want to take advantage of this, so she winked at Meng Duo.Meng Duo understood, and hurried to get a basket from the sundry room, spread old cloth in the basket, and put eggs in the basket.The Meng family only has a dozen or so eggs.Meng Duo went to the neighbor's house to borrow some more, and made up 28 of them.When the army left, Yu Jun asked Yu Jun to take it back as a congratulatory gift for the child in Yu Juhua's belly.

Yu Jun chatted with Grandma Meng for a while, and when he saw the certificates on the wall, he knew that the children of this family had good grades in school, so he said, "You are lucky, your grandchildren are so handsome. It’s good material for reading.”

Grandma Meng said modestly: "Hey, follow me."

Yu Jun: "..."

Fortunately, the army was clever, so he quickly answered the conversation, and said with a thumbs up, "I'm not following you, old lady. I look at your grandson's eyes, and your granddaughter's nose looks exactly like yours!"

After a while, Meng's father and Meng's mother came back from the field.

Yu Jun thanked Papa Meng for a long time. Papa Meng, an honest man, was embarrassed by his praise. He blushed and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything... just be safe, just be safe."

Yu Jun said: "If my brother-in-law hadn't been working in the city and couldn't come back, he would definitely come to thank you in person."

"Your brother-in-law..."

Yu Jun briefly talked about Jiang Youhai's work, building a house in the city, and so on.

Father Meng's heart skipped a beat.

After sending Yu Jun away, Meng's mother insisted that the Yu family was too polite to send so many things.Fortunately, Grandma Meng returned the gift, otherwise she really felt that this gift would be too hot to hold.Mother Meng handed her new schoolbag to her children.

Meng Duo is holding a new pink schoolbag and can't put it down.

Meng Zheng picked up the blue schoolbag and looked it over. Seeing that although it was blue, it was neutral and could be used by girls, so he said, "Take this schoolbag for Sister Xinhua, and I don't need it." The canvas bag made by my mother is very good for me.” From his aesthetic point of view, 26 years old, he prefers the canvas bag made by his mother, because it looks like a retro messenger bag, but this new schoolbag It's a bit earthy.

"You don't like it?" Meng Duo asked.

Meng Zheng said solemnly: "If I were younger, I would definitely like it." If his mental age is really only 11 years old, he must love this new schoolbag to death.

Meng's mother patted Meng Zheng on the back of the head: "Who allows you to talk so old-fashioned?"

All right, since my mother doesn't like the old-fashioned style, then Meng Zheng acted cute: "Mom, I'm hungry, when will I cook?"

"Who allowed you to speak in such a disgusting tone?" Mother Meng said again.

"What do you want from me, what do you want, my own mother can't forgive me." Meng Zheng couldn't help singing.

Mother Meng rolled her eyes.Although she wasn't familiar with Meng Zheng's tune, it didn't delay her counterattack at the first moment: "I hope you can be normal, normal, it's your mother who doesn't let you put on airs." Yay, the rhyme is successful!Dad applauds mom.

Meng Zheng was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands towards his mother: "Woman Xia, you have won."

I was careless, and even forgot that my mother's reaction speed was unmatched.
