After driving away the two white-eyed wolves who were collecting debts, Meng Xinghe returned to his docile character. Mother Meng smiled happily and touched Meng Xinghe's clothes, with a strong look of blasphemy in her eyes. Before Meng Mother could ask any questions, Meng Xinghe
He whispered in Meng's mother's ear, "Mom, let's go out and have a look! My son bought you some things from the county. I think the Meng family compound is too deserted, and I want to add some happiness to you, old man."
.”
"Begging for a beating~ Still so naughty." Seeing her son's playful smile, Meng's mother couldn't bear to do it. She wanted to say something in her heart, but she still didn't say it out, and followed Meng Xinghe out of the Meng family compound.
The mother and son had just stepped out of the gate. Directly opposite, under the old locust tree, a gorgeous carriage was parked there. The driver was smoking a cigarette leisurely. When he saw Meng Xinghe coming out, the driver jumped out of the gate.
He turned to the car and said respectfully: "Sir Xie Yuanlang, the bride price has been delivered. Please ask the servants to unload it from the car so that I can rush back to the county seat."
After looking at the sky, it was already afternoon. I'm afraid it would already be night if I rushed back to the county town! Meng Xinghe greeted: "Little Wuzi, go over and unload the things from the car and take them back to the Meng family courtyard." Then Meng Xinghe took them out of his arms.
One ingot of silver, "Thank you for your hard work, old man. I can use this little money to buy 2 taels of burning knives and drink wine. The cold air on the road is heavy, so I can drive away the cold air."
"I can't do it, I can't do it. Mr. Chai has already given the young man a reward. You're welcome, Mr. Xie Yuanlang." The driver hurriedly excused himself. Meng Xinghe saw that he was quite honest, so he stuffed the money into the old man's pocket without saying a word.
In his arms: "Old gentleman, I have been running all the way. If you don't accept me, you will look down on me, Meng Xinghe."
The little old man suddenly turned pale and hurriedly accepted the money. Just kidding, do you dare to offend Xie Yuanlang's face? After collecting the money, when he saw Meng's mother beside Meng Xinghe, the little old man congratulated: "Mr. Meng
We are very happy that your son has passed the provincial examination and passed the high school this year. I would like to congratulate you in advance and wish you a hundred years of prosperity and prosperity, and may your family be filled with children and grandchildren."
Yes, I like this. When the little old man said it, Meng's mother's voice trembled a little: "Meng'er, is what this old gentleman said true?" I had long looked forward to the day when Meng Xinghe could become a scholar in high school, and now I heard this good news.
,How could Mother Meng not be moved?
Meng Xinghe was afraid that his mother would be too excited and pass out like those high school scholar students. Meng Xinghe's face was not very happy and he said in a deep voice: "I forgot to tell my mother that my son has indeed won the scholarship. It's no big deal. This year's exam papers
It's relatively simple. There are many talented people, so don't take it to heart."
I secretly broke into a cold sweat, hoping that Mother Meng in front of me wouldn't be too excited.
"Okay~Okay~~My son has a future~~My son has a future." After looking forward to it for a long time, she finally waited for today. Mother Meng was in tears, her face covered with weather and age. Although it was quite eroded by the years,
At this moment, there was also a look of joy: "Dad Xinghe, you can close your eyes~~~"
With a long sigh, Meng Xinghe's body became weak and she actually fainted. Fortunately, Meng Xinghe reacted quickly enough and helped his mother. What he worried about happened still. Meng Xinghe couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad at this moment.
He said helplessly: "Chun'er, Sister-in-law Zhang, please help my mother into her room!"
After handing Mother Meng over to the two servants, Meng Xinghe could only sigh. He and Xiaowuzi unloaded the things on the carriage and sent it into the Meng family courtyard. Meng Xinghe came to Mother Meng's wing alone.
After standing outside for a while, he gently opened the door and walked in. Seeing his mother who had woken up on the bed, Meng Xinghe put on a smile, sat in front of Meng's mother's window, and asked with concern: "Mom, are you feeling better? "
Meng's mother was so happy that she fainted. Naturally, it was nothing serious. When she heard her son's concern, a comfortable smile appeared on her face. She stretched out her wrinkled hands and grabbed the corners of Meng Xinghe's clothes. Tears overflowed from her face. "Meng'er, mother is so happy, so happy." The more she continued, Meng's mother's tears fell like broken beads.
Meng Xinghe breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Seeing that Meng's mother was fine, he felt much better. He knew in his heart that Meng Xinghe was a complete prodigal in the past, and Meng's mother placing her hopes on him was just a kind of comfort. In the past, it was impossible for Meng Xinghe's ability to become a scholar, so when Meng's mother heard the good news, she was as shocked as thunder.
Unable to find any words of comfort, Meng Xinghe sat quietly in front of Meng's mother's bed. Seeing his childlike expression, Meng's mother made up her mind and said seriously: "Meng'er, you are not young anymore. As the saying goes, men should be married when they are older. , Mom should arrange a marriage for you and take care of your childishness."
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate! The child is only twenty years old and has not reached the legal age for marriage. If I get married rashly, if I have a bad temper, I will spoil the girl. It is better to wait for a few years." Meng Xinghe pretended to be frightened. After getting married, He hadn't thought about it yet, but Meng's mother was already anxious. Did she want to have a grandson?
"Nonsense~" Parents are very anxious about their children's marriage. When Meng's mother scolded, Meng Xinghe suddenly became speechless. "When my mother married your father, your father was only sixteen years old. He didn't treat your mother as well." Treat me like a guest, you are in your early twenties now, how can you be more timid than your father?"
Hey! The mother-in-law began to instigate her son to abuse other girls. Meng Xinghe looked helpless. Meng's mother did not care about his feelings at all and said: "You have become a high school scholar today. If you are planning a marriage, it will be a double blessing, mother." This is the day you have been looking forward to, why are you so stubborn?"
As if he was teaching Meng Xinghe a lesson, it seems that Meng Xinghe does not have the right to love independently when it comes to marriage. "Okay, everything is up to my mother. As long as my mother likes that girl and is not ugly, I can find time another day. Let's go visit each other and let's get to know each other. If we get along, we'll get along. If we don't, we'll break up!" Meng Xinghe finally changed his mind this time. Anyway, his reputation was not good, and no girl from that family was willing to marry him. The marriage would have to wait for Meng's mother to go. Let's make arrangements so that her wishes can be fulfilled.
"Yeah~~" Meng's mother smiled happily and raised her eyebrows, seeing that Meng Xinghe had no objection. Meng's mother measured her body and took out a red book from under the embroidered pillow. Meng Xinghe's sharp eyes saw that it was a marriage certificate at a glance. The rich man Wang also gave him a copy. Meng Xinghe's eyes widened. No wonder his mother was so anxious. It turned out that she had been prepared for it. Then I was deceived.
Meng's mother took the marriage certificate, as if she saw her daughter-in-law right in front of her, and said happily: "Meng'er, Mr. Li's house in the county town asked Sister Meng to deliver the marriage certificate the day before yesterday. If you agree, sign it and choose the right one." One day I will marry Miss Li! This is the day my mother has been waiting for."
