Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

Hao Liang drove out of the urban area of ​​Yue City for a while. After Hao Liang got in the car, the ringtone of the cell phone he put on his car suddenly rang.

Hao Liang slowed down the car, took the phone and took a look. It was his uncle in his hometown who was calling. After Hao Liang answered the call, he casually turned on the speakerphone, put the phone in its place and said,

"Hey! Uncle, what's the matter with you calling me?"

"Ah Liang, it's almost five o'clock. Have you come over? If you don't come over, it will be dark when you arrive." The uncle's urging voice came from the hands-free mobile phone.

Just as Hao Liang was about to answer, Meng Mengdi took the phone over and watched Hao Liang say to the uncle on the other side of the phone.

"Uncle, Hao Liang and I have already arrived, and the car has passed the gas station on the East Lake side. When the uncle on the phone heard Meng Mengdi's voice, he immediately changed his tone and said with a smile.

"It's Mengmeng. Mengmeng, you're here too. Okay, I'm going to stew the old hen for you now. Ask A-Liang to drive slower and not too fast. It'll be fine later."

"Okay, thank you, uncle. The main reason is that today Hao Liang has to go to the university to attend a lecture and we came here late, otherwise I would have come here long ago."

"It's okay. It'll be later. It's just a good time for you to come here. You're home. I've cooked the chicken. Ask A-Liang to drive slower."

"I'll ask Hao Liang to drive slower. Uncle, let me hang up the phone first." Meng Mengdi glanced at Hao Liang proudly and said.

"Hmm, Mengmeng, then hang up the phone. I'm going to kill the chicken for you now."

"Goodbye, uncle." Hao Liang said at the beginning, and then without saying a word, Meng Mengdi ended the call with the uncle and hung up the phone directly.

"Hao Liang, did you hear that? My uncle killed a chicken for me to eat. There will be two chicken legs later, one for me and one for my uncle. You don't want to snatch them from me, or I won't stay with you tonight."

"I don't like chicken, so why bother trying to rob it from you?" Hao Liang replied while driving the car and looking ahead.

"Then how did you grab chicken wings from me when you invited me to KFC? You can't grab them later, you know, you have to leave one for the uncle. Otherwise, the uncle will give me his if he sees that I don't have any."

"I know, I know. In your heart, I will be like you snatching something to eat."

"Well, you usually grab a lot of my snacks. Anyway, you can't do it this time. Next time my uncle comes to Yue City, I will treat him to KFC. Last time, he thought KFC only sells chicken."

"You are really filial. I am just teasing you. You really think you are an uncle and you don't know what KFC is."

"Anyway, I don't care, I will definitely treat my uncle to KFC next time." After saying that, Meng Mengdi seemed to have thought of something, patted her head, and said to Hao Liang.

"It's over, I forgot to bring a gift to my uncle. What should I do now? We'll go to your city later and bring some gifts back to my uncle."

"It's too far to get to the city, and there's no time. I'll just buy some in town later." The two chatted and came to Hao Liang's hometown town.

As soon as she arrived in the town, Meng Mengdi said to Hao Liang.

"Stop, I saw a supermarket. Let's go buy something in the supermarket." Hao Liang ignored Meng Mengdi's words and drove a little further, stopping at the entrance of the wholesale department.

Said to Meng Mengdi.

"Buy it here. We have everything here. There are no cigarettes in the supermarket." Hao Liang turned off the engine, opened the car door and walked out.

Meng Mengdi also got out of the car and hurriedly followed. Meng Mengdi picked out a lot of gifts for her uncle, including cigarettes and wine. After buying her uncle's gifts, Meng Mengdi asked Hao Liang in a low voice, somewhat awkwardly.

"Hao Liang, I don't know what your parents like, but I don't know what to buy. Tell me. Do you have any other relatives? After all, it's my first time to visit your house."

"You don't need to worry about my parents, and you don't need to buy anything for them. It will be the same in the future. Just treat them as if they don't exist. You don't need to worry about my relatives." Hao Liang replied casually.

"That won't work. It's my first time to come to the door. If I don't bring anything, people will gossip about me and say I'm ignorant."

"You may also know that I don't have a good relationship with my parents, so just ignore them."

"That's not possible. I must follow the etiquette. I've already asked about what you should pay attention to when you come to your home for the first time. How about I buy some at will."

"They are not at home. They are working outside to pay off my elder brother's debt. If you buy it, it will be in vain. Let's go. We will talk about it next time when they come back." Hao Liang carried Meng Mengdi back to the car with the gift she bought for her uncle.

I drove back to my uncle's house. When I got to the village, it was almost seven o'clock, it was dark, and there were no street lights in the village. When Hao Liang drove in, he could occasionally hear the barking of the village dogs.

Most of the villagers who had eaten had gathered in front of the small shop in the village to talk and talk. They saw Hao Liang's car approaching, looked at it and started talking about Hao Liang's family.

After arriving at the uncle's house, when Hao Liang stopped the car and got out of the car with Meng Mengdi carrying gifts, Meng Mengdi shouted in the yard.

"Uncle, we are here." After hearing Meng Mengdi's voice, the uncle came out of the room with a smile and said to Meng Mengdi.

"Mengmeng, you're here. Are you hungry? Come in with uncle quickly."

"Uncle, this is the gift I bought for you." Meng Mengdi shook the thing in her hand and said. Entering the door of the uncle's house, she saw two old people from the village who were about the same age as the uncle, sitting in the main room.

On the stool.

Meng Mengdi was well-behaved and not afraid of strangers. After calling the two invited villagers uncle, she said to the uncle.

"Uncle, I didn't tell you that I was coming to your house until Hao Liang came home. I didn't have time to prepare gifts, so I just bought some."

"Just come and sit down and eat. We'll be waiting for you." The uncle said with a smile.

"Ah Liang, you have brought your partner back, are you planning to build a house and get married?" said a villager who came to help.

"It's too early for us to get married, Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you today." Hao Liang replied, taking out the cigarettes and passing them over.

"What's the trouble? It's about digging a few hoe. Why did Mr. Xu let your house break ground at night this time?"

"I don't know either. Mr. Xu Da said that we should have dinner first. We will have to work hard at night." After the uncle brought some wine, he said to the two villagers who came to help.

After a few polite words, the two villagers who came to help also sat down, talking to each other about some of Mr. Xu Da's early deeds, and started drinking.

Meng Mengdi was not polite, just like at home. After her uncle brought up a cooked chicken, she said immediately.

"Uncle, this is the chicken you cooked specially for me. Thank you, uncle."

"I knew you were coming, and your uncle killed him specially for you. Hao Liang's partner, where are you from?" a villager said with a smile.

"I'm from Xinxian County, Uncle Liu. You guys want to eat too. I can't finish it either." Meng Mengdi and Zi Zizi picked up a piece of chicken for each of the two villagers and put it in front of them.

I picked up another chicken drumstick for the uncle and put it in front of the uncle.

"Mengmeng, you don't need to pick it up for us, you can eat it yourself. I didn't add any seasoning, I just cooked it and you dip it in soy sauce and eat it." The uncle said to Meng Mengdi with a smile.

"Uncle, you're welcome, I'm really hungry." After saying that, Meng Mengdi added a chicken drumstick to herself, dipped it in a little soy sauce, and ate it directly.

He said while eating.

"Uncle, your chicken is so delicious. It's much better than what my mother buys at the market."

"Your uncle raised these at home, and the feed chickens bought at the market are of course different. During the Chinese New Year, many bosses came to the village to collect them specially." Another villager said with a smile as he looked at Meng Mengdi who was eating deliciously.

After finishing the meal, Meng Mengdi put the bowl away obediently, called Hao Liang to come in and help wash the dishes, and asked her uncle to chat with the villagers outside.

"Hao Liang, where should we sleep at night?" Meng Mengdi asked, looking at her uncle's house which was a bit shabby.

"In the evening, let's go back to the city and get a room tonight." Hao Liang replied while washing the dishes.

"Isn't this not good? My uncle will think that I dislike his family and refuse to spend the night at his house."

"No, I will also rent a room by myself in the town when I come back. Give me the bowl and I will put it on the kitchen shelf." Hao Liang said while looking at Meng Mengdi who was washing a bowl.
