Chapter 44: Jiang Mengmeng's Letter
Almost every week, he could receive letters from Jiang Mengmeng, Song Mengcheng sat in the tea room of Unit C 403 in a daze, looking at the three envelopes stamped with the Dutch postmark on the table, whether to open it or not, he was a little undecided.
Probably afraid that after sending it to China, the postman who delivered the letter did not know the address in English, Jiang Mengmeng wrote the address in Chinese in the lower part of the envelope, and the name of the recipient Song Mengcheng.
The words on the envelope are very tough, not like a girl's handwriting, it may come from genetics, and there is a bit of heroic atmosphere in the handwriting. After all, Jiang Mengmeng is studying art, and even the English letters are written very beautifully, and the neat handwriting on the envelope reveals Jiang Meng's concentration and intentions when transcribing the envelope.
Song Mengcheng shook his head and put a few letters into one of the drawers on the cabinet behind him.
At about the same time, Song Mengcheng received another letter.
Song Mengcheng looked at the envelope in his hand, as if he smelled the smell of carrots, onions, and potatoes mixed together.
Why not tulips, but this national dish?
Maybe it's because Song Mengcheng's mentality is wrong that he feels like this.
The scene at the time of separation, Song Mengcheng vividly remembers, as if it was yesterday, Jiang Mengmeng's aggrieved tears, hugs with complex emotions, and the determination that there was no turning back when leaving.
From that moment on, Jiang Mengmeng has grown.
But in Song Mengcheng's view, life does not need this kind of growth. The price of this growth is simply too high. He didn't know if Jiang Mengmeng really forgave him in his heart, what he couldn't forgive was himself.
Song Mengcheng sat in front of the tea table, at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.
Song Mengcheng took a sip of tea, the tea was already cold, he subconsciously spit the tea back into the quilt, then poured it on the tea table, poured another cup, and then slowly got up and walked to the drawer of the cabinet.
According to the date, he found the first letter.
The letter was very brief, like a debriefing. It said that she had already arrived in the Netherlands, so please rest assured that she is now studying at the Eindhoven School of Design. The main content of learning is conceptual design, and the work "Swastika" Xu Xiangwei has already handed over to her, along with the first work "Swastika" he sent before and brought it to the Netherlands.
In the second letter, Jiang Mengmeng introduced the school situation and her life situation in detail. People and Communication, People and Identity, People and Life, People and Mobility, People and Public Space, People and Well-being, People and Well-being, People and Well-being, Humanitarian Design and Sustainable Residential Design, etc.
Jiang Mengmeng's dormitory has a total of four people, all of whom are women, and they get along very well, and the meals are also to their taste.
With this description of the women in the dormitory, Song Mengcheng thought of the unique open-mindedness of the Netherlands, and its policies on narcotics, the xing trade, the same marriage and euthanasia almost attracted the attention of the world.
The envelope of the third letter was a little thick, and Song Mengcheng found two photographs inside.
One is a work he created himself based on the concept of Song Mengcheng's work "Swastika", entitled "Dusk in Eindhoven", which is not a real scene, but a picture composed of light similar to a fiery cloud.
The other is a portrait, this portrait, without irrelevance, has a blurred face. Song Mengcheng remembered the unfinished portrait he saw on the easel in Jiang Mengmeng's house, and it turned out to be himself.
The content of the letter said that his painting has made great progress, at least in terms of conceptual cognition, and has improved a lot. Attach photos of the two works and ask Song Mengcheng to criticize.
In the last letter, Jiang Mengmeng said that she joined a non-profit organization in the Netherlands, which mainly aimed at children with mental illness or autism. Psychotherapy for these children is carried out through artistic methods.
Song Mengcheng was very happy about Jiang Mengmeng's current living state and psychological state, the change of environment was really an important means of healing, and he put the letter and photos in the drawer, and he was not ready to reply.
After cleaning up the tea table, Song Mengcheng made a call to Chen Yongxu and asked, "How is your sister's condition?"
Chen Yongxu said: "She has been discharged from the hospital, but her body is very weak and she is recuperating at home. ”
Song Mengcheng said: "If you have any difficulties, tell me, don't be polite. ”
Chen Yongxu said: "It's just nutritional products, and the family should buy them, so you don't have to worry, where are you?"
Song Mengcheng said: "I live in the family building, and Building 5 is in Unit C 403, which used to be the company's office. ”
Chen Yongxu said, "Have you had lunch?"
Song Mengcheng said, "I haven't eaten yet." ”
Chen Yongxu said: "You wait, I'll go find you." ”
Half an hour later, Chen Yongxu knocked on Song Mengcheng's door, carrying a few bottles of beer and a bag of packaged food.
"Why do you bring so many things?" Song Mengcheng looked at Chen Yongxu, who was carrying a bunch of things, and asked.
"I haven't eaten either, so I'll eat with you. Chen Yongxu said that he would go inside, looked around, and said, "You are doing a good job here, I feel very good." ”
"It's just a simple mess, you put the things in the kitchen first, and I'll show you around. Song Mengcheng pointed to the location of the kitchen and closed the door.
Song Mengcheng took Chen Yongxu to turn around the bedroom and tea room, and then took him to the kitchen to eat.
Opening the lunch box, which contained two servings of fried noodles with eggs and one braised eggplant, Song Mengcheng washed two wine glasses, opened the beer and poured it full, and said, "Why did you think of coming to me today?"
Chen Yongxu said: "I told you to visit the dormitory before, and today you just called me, and I am fine, so I will come and have a look." ”
"You see I forgot all about this stubble, and called Liu Lei and a few of them another day to make a fuss in the dormitory. Song Mengcheng took a bite of fried noodles, and his mouth made a chewing sound.
"Xiaocheng, I toast you. Chen Yongxu picked up his glass and said.
"If our brothers have anything to respect, let's take one. Song Mengcheng and Chen Yongxu's cups touched and drank the beer.
Chen Yongxu wanted to say a few words, looked at Song Mengcheng, who was dry, didn't say anything, and drank the beer in the cup.
Song Mengcheng asked, "Do you have the habit of working in the New Classic Natural Institution?"
Chen Yongxu said: "I have figured out the basic way, mainly play-based, with some educational content, in fact, it is not difficult. ”
Song Mengcheng said: "The event is held, it is not too difficult for customers to solicit these, as long as you have participated a few times, you have experience, it is easy to get started, the key is the development of courseware, we have to continue to develop new courses, in order to make old customers participate." ”
Chen Yongxu said: "In terms of courseware, can we cooperate with some universities to find some students with special skills to work part-time?"
Song Mengcheng said: "Your idea is also good, the time of college students is easy to coordinate, you can tell Zeng Yongfang this proposal and let her hold several job fairs on major campuses." ”
Chen Yongxu said: "Okay, I'll sort out my thoughts. ”
"You take the time to go to the base of the non-powered park, the equipment has been partially completed, it is estimated that the park will be opened in half a month, and I plan to focus on developing it and becoming a fixed location for weekend activities of nature education institutions. Song Mengcheng said.
"I've been there twice, and it always feels very local, do you think someone can come?" asked Chen Yongxu.
"If it is made into a high-tech kind of large-scale amusement facilities, what is it called a natural education base, not to mention the customer group, our main business is to do natural education. ”
"I'm just worried about not losing money. Chen Yongxu said.
"It won't be a loss, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less, after all, two events a week as a support, it is more than enough to feed a base. ”
"Xiaocheng, I want to go to the magazine to switch to sales, so that the money will be faster, what do you think?" Chen Yongxu finally led the topic to what he wanted to express.
Song Mengcheng didn't answer immediately, took a sip of beer, and was about to speak, Chen Yongxu said: "If you are embarrassed, forget it, I am also an immature idea." ”
Song Mengcheng said: "Do you know, sales look more beautiful, and you make more money, but the pressure is very great, you are introverted, I am afraid that you can't stand this suffering." ”
Chen Yongxu smiled and said: "Xiaocheng, you don't have to worry about this at all, I am no longer the original me, when my sister was sick, I was used to seeing the heat and coldness of my relatives at home, only I got ahead is fundamental, and everything else is floating clouds, so I have long been ready to make a career." ”
Song Mengcheng said: "Just think about it." You don't have to go to the magazine, the magazine sales, you can't really do it at the moment.
You are in an educational institution, you will do some of the enterprises in the province, focusing on automobiles, banks, insurance, FMCG and other enterprises with a large number of employees, and you can carry out enterprise expansion projects for their corporate culture construction. We highly recommend our CS, archery range, outdoor climbing and jungle adventure projects. ”
"Are you saying that our base project will also be of interest to enterprises? Isn't this designed for the student group?" asked Chen Yongxu with some disbelief.
"Our focus is on nature education, but from a profit perspective, the business sector is more profitable, and I can guarantee that they will be interested," Song said.
Recently, I am planning to develop the remaining mountain and woodland, and then engage in some climbing and rock climbing equipment that is more suitable for enterprise expansion, but these equipment are purchased directly and do not need to be designed and produced by us. ”
"Okay, when the base is perfected, I'll do this business. Chen Yongxu said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Then I wish you a victorious start. Song Mengcheng said with a wine glass.
"That's a project you did, I'm just a part-time worker, let's celebrate together. Chen Yongxu said.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Song Mengcheng picked up his wine glass and said with a smile.
