Meng Sheng, who was reborn, did not sleep that night.
I ran to the door at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, but stopped when I raised my hand to knock on the door.
He pinched himself several times, then wandered in front of the door seven or eight times before knocking on the gate with trembling hands, shouting in an excited, out-of-tune voice, "Dad, Mom, open the door, I'm back!"
Soon, a roar mixed with anger was heard from the courtyard: "You still remember to come back?
Look at the time now, aren’t you afraid that the animals in the mountains will treat you as a midnight snack?
Didn’t I tell you this when I asked you to go to your second sister’s house this morning?
I told you to come back soon, come back soon, but you turned a deaf ear to my words!
The vigorous curse made Meng Sheng's eyes mist up. He wanted to cry, but also wanted to laugh.
Two extreme expressions appeared on the same face, distorting the originally good-looking face of Guozi into something unbearable to look at.
The gate of the courtyard was pulled open, and then an oil lamp was handed to them.
"Take it yourself. There's rice and hot water left in the kitchen. You can do whatever you want.
I'm going to bed!"
Meng Sheng took the oil lamp in a daze. Before he could see his mother's current appearance, he saw her turn around and go back to the house in the dark, holding her shoes.
The entire yard was pitch black except for the bean-sized flame in his hand that was swaying in the night wind.
Obviously, everyone in the family was asleep.
Meng Sheng's heart, which had been excited and nervous for a long time, quickly calmed down as if a bucket of cold water was poured on it.
He stood there for a moment, gave up the idea of waking up his family, and silently went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash up. He changed the bloody clothes on his back, washed them, and hung them up to dry. Then he went back to his room and lay down on the bed as if nothing had happened.
My mind just kept spinning.
Thinking about my bizarre experiences, thinking about my past life that I couldn't bear to look back on, thinking about how to take revenge, and thinking about what path to take in the future?
The whole night passed without feeling tired, and at daybreak I was still extremely excited.
He simply got out of bed, fetched water, cooked, and prepared pig food, and was busy all the time.
Chen Hongxing yawned as she emerged from the house. She saw her second son carrying a steaming bucket of manure toward the pigpen in the backyard. Her eyes widened as she asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do now, kid?"
Although this kid is not lazy, he has never been diligent in the past. He is the type who won't get up unless called in the morning. His behavior is so abnormal, it must be something bad.
Meng Chenglin, who followed closely behind, wiped the mucus from the corner of his eye and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Your second son is working on his own initiative so early in the morning!"
These words made Meng Chenglin, who knew his son's temper well, straighten his originally lazy and crooked body. He raised his eyes to look at Meng Sheng standing in the yard.
Then I watched helplessly as the person's eyes turned red, and then a string of tears rolled down his wheat-colored cheeks. At the same time, his mouth pursed and he burst into tears.
Decades later, Meng Sheng saw his father again, who had died young due to worry and overwork because of his imprisonment in his previous life, and he could not control the emotions surging in his heart.
He couldn't stop crying!
Meng Chenglin was so shocked by his son's behavior that his mouth opened wide, and he subconsciously poked his equally stunned daughter-in-law beside him.
Chen Hongxing came back to her senses, curled her lips in disgust, took out a dollar from her pocket, and said to Sai Mengsheng, who was in pain, "Alright, alright, we are all men, why are we still peeing like cats?
You just want money, you just want to buy a hair ornament for Xiaohua.
Here’s the money, stop crying!
You're old enough to get married, yet you're acting like a child and aren't you embarrassed? "
Meng Sheng looked down at the money in his hand, a little confused.
After hearing his mother's last words, he remembered that he liked Zhang Xiaohua, who lived next door to his brother-in-law's house in Rongshu Village in front. He often asked his mother to give him money and buy some small gifts to please her.
But people thought he was poor and the village was remote, so they took a lot of things from him without giving him any promises.
Now, decades have passed and he can't even remember what that woman looked like.
However, she stopped crying after being interrupted.
Meng Sheng returned the money to his mother, wiped the tear marks on his face with his sleeve, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will never buy anything for her again!"
After hearing this, Chen Hongxing and her husband looked at each other, and there was understanding in their eyes. He was definitely hurt by being rejected by the girl.
I couldn't help but persuade her: "It's better not to send her off. The girl is just pretty, it's no big deal. Once your brother's affairs are settled, I will ask a matchmaker to find you a husband!"
Next year, we'll raise two more pigs at home. During the off-season, let your father work on the rocks for a few months. I promise to find you a wife who's prettier than Xiaohua next year!"
Meng Sheng: ·······.
Okay, whatever you say, just don't make excuses.
After such a commotion, the eldest brother Meng Chao also got up and went out of the house. After learning the whole story, he naturally asked some harmless questions and laughed at them again.
The yard became completely lively.
After washing up, they had breakfast together.
At the dinner table, Meng Sheng bit into a piece of bread and asked his mother, "Is it time for my little brother to have summer vacation tomorrow?"
Chen Hongxing glanced at her son and nodded: "Tomorrow, why are you asking this?"
Meng Sheng chewed his biscuit and replied in a muffled voice, "Nothing, I just wanted to pick him up!"
In his previous life, because he was imprisoned, his father died early, and his eldest brother's promised partner broke off the engagement. Later, the family situation became bad and he never got married. His younger brother also dropped out of school and went to work in the south alone, and then there was no news from him.
The only sister who got married was afraid of being looked down upon by her husband's family, and she also felt that it was because of the incident that happened to her that she did not dare to have much contact with her parents' family.
A good family was torn apart.
Now he just wants to see everyone in his family be well.
Of course, you have to do some things along the way.
Meng Chenglin was feeling sorry for his second son's recent heartbreak, so he quickly said, "Okay, ask your mother to give you some more money and notes."
Mengjia Village is located deep in Qingfengling Mountains. It is a village formed by our ancestors who settled and multiplied to escape war.
To reach the nearest Rongshu Village, one has to cross two mountains, and then cross another mountain to reach Xinglin Village. A few miles from Xinglin Village is Shuanghe Township. From Shuanghe Township to the nearest Baishui County, it is more than 30 miles away, making transportation extremely inconvenient.
Therefore, Meng Chenglin paused and said diplomatically: "Since you are going to the county, pack up and leave early after dinner, otherwise you will not arrive before dark.
Your brother is on summer vacation, and he must have a lot of things at school. I'll borrow the mule cart from your Uncle Feng when I go out later.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to come back tomorrow with such a long journey and a lot of luggage!"
"Got it, Dad!"
Meng Sheng achieved his goal, quickly filled his stomach, took the money and notes handed to him by his mother, took two cakes as dry food, filled a bamboo tube with water, changed into a pair of clothes without patches, and went out.
