Chapter 007: The Wonders of the Park

Chen Xiaoxi took Zhu Beini to a park, LuXun Park in Shanghai. At first, Zhu Beini felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, why did she visit an ordinary park so seriously. But as I walked around, I was attracted. Not for the rockeries, flowing water, flowers, and bridges, but for the people who are active.

Some people sang in bel canto singing in the verandah, and the singing was melodious. Among the people who sang, there were several old gentlemen with top hats on their heads, shirts tightly buttoned, meticulous, extraordinary, very old-fashioned gentlemanly style, as if they were not in a corner of the open-air park, but in the stage of 10,000 people singing and intoxicated. By the river, groups of people gathered. When I got closer, I realized that I was talking about today's politics. The world pattern and the diplomacy of various countries are sonorous and powerful. Some people talk about it, and some people listen quietly. For a while, time was confused, as if it had traveled through time.

Zhu Beini followed Chen Xiaoxi and continued to walk around the main road of Lu Xun Park.

Some people are dancing ballroom dances, some people are shaking wind chimes, and some people are guarding the waterside of the road and writing calligraphy on the roadside...... Behind a rockery, there are people dancing steel whips with vigor and making a crisp loud sound.

In such a group of people who "use" the park, the pride of letting go of oneself, enjoying life, and not wasting time is growing inch by inch.

Chen Xiaoxi walked softly all the way, and easily told Zhu Beini about the history of Lu Xun Park.

"Shanghai LX Park is an old park. Shanghainese people are used to calling it Hongkou Park. As early as the end of the 19th century, it was already a target range outside the public concession, and later a part of it was set aside to become a park, which was built and opened around 1905, and was originally called the New Target Range Park.

In 1922, it was renamed Hongkou Park. At that time, the park was connected to the current Hongkou Football Stadium. Because of the vast sports grounds, it is often used by the military and police as a place for drills and military parades. As soon as the political and military situation around Shanghai was disturbed, the international business group entered the park for drills. In the 20s, when the warlords of various factions fought for Shanghai, the international merchant group entered the park every morning and evening to practice for two years. ”

Passing by the Plum Garden, a plaque on the door says that this Plum Garden commemorates Yoon Bong-gil, a Korean expatriate. Chen Xiaoxi talked eloquently: "In 1932, there was a 'bomb throwing case' incident in Hongkou Park. At that time, the soldiers of the island country held a meeting here, and Yoon Bong-gil threw a bomb inside, killing several officers of the island country. It was a sensation at the time. ”

The plum garden has to charge an additional fee, Chen Xiaoxi folded his arms and pondered slightly: "Forget it, we won't go in." ”

"After the August 13 Incident in 1937, H-Kou Park was occupied by the island nation and renamed New Park. Cut a piece of land in the park and bury the islanders who died in the war.

"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the park was taken over by the Chinese government and renamed 'Zhongzheng Park'.

The two of them walked to a Jiangnan house. On the white wall is written "LX Memorial Hall".

Chen Xiaoxi said: "When LX lived in Shanghai, he lived near Hongkou Park. On the twentieth anniversary of his death, the LX tomb was moved from the Universal Cemetery to Hongkou Park, and a Lu Xun Memorial Hall was built in the park. Around the end of the 90s, Hongkou Park was officially renamed Lu Xun Park, and Hongkou Stadium was rebuilt and named Hongkou Football Stadium. Do you want to enter the Lu Xun Memorial Hall? This one is free to visit. ”

Zhu Beini looked at Chen Xiaoxi and secretly admired him for having such solid knowledge of history. At first, I heard him say that the plum garden is not charged, and I didn't think it was the season for the plum blossoms, and there was no special scenery to look at. Later, when I heard him say that when he went to see the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, he especially emphasized that the Lu Xun Memorial Hall was free, and he didn't feel that he looked at him twice. Chen Xiaoxi's expression was calm as usual, and he smiled slightly.

Zhu Beini was a little unsure, did he talk about money by chance, or did he just value money very much? Even Zhu Beini, a newcomer in the workplace, has a meager salary in Shanghai, and the money within 100 yuan is all small money, and she doesn't take it to heart, she spends it casually. And Chen Xiaoxi doesn't seem to be it.

"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he doesn't go to work and has no income." Zhu Beini secretly guessed.

In the process of visiting the park, unconsciously, Zhu Beini became lively and high-spirited again.

"Hey, how much is lunch? I'll transfer it to you! She shouted at him.

"Today I please. It's rare for me to find out in my conscience, remembering that you just worked and didn't pay much. ”

"It's better than you being a vagrant."

"It's hard to say. I'm doing a good job as a vagrant stock. Chen Xiaoxi said.

"It's a pity that a good woman can't be porridge without rice!"

"Who told you I don't have rice? I studied in the U.S. for six years and worked full-time for four years. The rice you earn part-time while studying alone is more than a few years of work! ”

Zhu Beini couldn't help but look at Chen Xiaoxi carefully again. He has a certain charm, not in a hurry, not angry. In the hurry of Shanghai, such an aura seems somewhat detached.

"What? Found out that you misunderstood me before? Seeing Zhu Beini looking at herself, Chen Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows. Ah, whether he is out of touch or not, he is always so good-looking.

"I didn't think about it! What about misunderstanding? "Zhu Beni.

Chen Xiaoxi clutched his chest, pretending to be hurt, but the person laughed.

Zhu Beini thinks that Xu Wenheng, Liang Fang or something can be floating clouds. The vicissitudes of history can be smoothed out by time, what is this little confusion she encountered. What's more, Xu Wenheng is already a person who has been abandoned by her determination. The confusion he brought was not worth the grief for.

After thinking like this, the whole person became brisk. She ran and stopped, attracted by the rape flowers on the ground, the papaya flowers on the trees, the cherry blossoms like clouds, and the green hydrangea flowers at the same time...... Chen Xiaoxi always walked in the same step, not in a hurry, only when Zhu Beini was taking pictures of the flowers, he stopped to look, and occasionally took out his mobile phone to take pictures of Zhu Beini who was taking pictures. I didn't tell Zhu Beini when I took it, and put my phone in my pocket as if it was fine.

"So there's so much more to the park!" Zhu Beni couldn't help but be overjoyed. The decadence before coming was swept away.

"There are also wet markets." Chen Xiaoxi said.

"Healing wet market. It's fresh. Zhu Beini smiled.

"The secret is that there are so many people. Bustling people. People of all stripes. Being in a crowd reduces ego, and without ego, there is no suffering. ”

"I'm good at treating you as just history, but I didn't expect psychology to be good." Zhu Beini approved.

"Hmph, how can you see through it at a glance! I still have a lot of good things you don't know. Chen Xiaoxi is a little proud.

"yes. For example, I said that you were looking for a girlfriend full-time, but I don't know how you found it. Zhu Beini teased.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoxi, who has always been calm, turned away from his gaze and kept silent. At that time, the sunset line was shining obliquely, and if it weren't for the red and yellow light shining on her face, Zhu Beini would have suspected that she saw Chen Xiaoxi's face slightly red. It turns out that rapping is like him, and he also has an innocent side. Not wanting to make it more difficult for him, Zhu Beini pretended to change the subject naturally and returned to her spoken English.

"Master, why do you ask me to write an essay when I want to improve my spoken English?"

"First of all, we must solve the problem, and then we must say the standard."

"Got it."

--

Back to the company dormitory from Shanghai Lu Xun Park, it was almost dinner.

"Great, we could have dinner together! I want to eat chicken pot! "Grains cheered.

"You're getting longer and longer." Zeng Mei said.

"It's about to be dinner, and you didn't come back without dinner?" He Meili said.

Zhu Beini looked at them: "What is the meaning of language to express your heart, listen to what you say!" ”

Grain's dark eyes didn't seem to understand.

Zeng Mei was the first to laugh: "I'm worried that you are in love unconsciously." ”

He Meili patted Zeng Mei: "She pays for dinner, even so, people don't give her a second chance." Don't worry, people didn't take a fancy to her! ”

Zhu Beini smiled and did not answer. She knew that according to He Meimei's point of view, if a man wants to pursue a woman a little, he must find ways to praise and praise. Rush to pay for dinner, and give some gifts if you have nothing to do. In a word, "To love you is to be willing to spend money for you"! Zhu Beini once wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, thinking of her parents, she made a 180-degree turn and felt that this sentence was simply the truth!

--

Time flies. April and May slipped away from the increasingly intense daylight.

Since that day, Xu Wenheng has not been entangled. Yang Qingqing often chats with Zhu Beini when she has something to do, but she only talks about it and never talks deeply. After two months of unremitting efforts, Zhu Beini has developed from writing an article in an hour and a half to completing it in half an hour. This major victory is thanks to Chen Xiaoxi. If it weren't for him chasing after him, Zhu Beini would inevitably relax in the sugar-coated cannonballs of her female companions.

One day when she was paying her salary, Zhu Beini suddenly found that she had a lot of money in her bank card. pinching and calculating, he hasn't spent money on shopping for two months - later Chen Xiaoxi always has one reason or another to pay for food, thinking that he boasted that his part-time income during his study was higher than the salary he had worked for a few years, Zhu Beini also followed him, only silently remembered, basically do it this time you invite, next time I invite.

"I've been busy lately and I don't have time to spend money." Zhu Beini sat at the desk and muttered to herself. The roommate on the side looked over: "Do you want to go shopping?" I'll be with you after work on Saturday. ”

"My dear! You're such a Interpreter Flower! ”

So Zhu Beini called Chen Xiaoxi and canceled the meeting on Saturday. Chen Xiaoxi tried to stop it for various reasons. Zhu Beini exclaimed in a hurry, "We don't have to meet every weekend. You're not my boyfriend! ”

The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, and he stopped pestering with various excuses and different tones.

Out of gratitude to Chen Xiaoxi for her dedication to teaching English in the past two months, Zhu Beini tried to ease her abruptness: "Only people who are in love meet frequently, we don't have to. ”

"We-" On the phone, Chen Xiaoxi wanted to speak and stopped, but didn't say anything after all. Just wish Zhu Beni a good time.

After hanging up the phone, a hint of jerkiness flashed in Zhu Beini's heart. But it only flashed by, as if something had been lost, and there was no trace. It just so happened that Grains ran over: "I'm going too!" I'm going too! ”

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Beini was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"Let's go shopping. I just heard it in the bathroom. ”

"Oh." Yes, she originally said with Zeng Mei that they would go shopping together to buy summer clothes.

"Let's go together. I invite you to dinner. Zeng Mei said softly to the grains. After a pause, he said, "I just have something to tell you. ”

Before Zhu Beini could ask what was the matter, she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "What's the matter?" "It turned out to be He Meili who had been in the tent on the bed.

"My Obama. You scared me to death. He patted his chest and exhaled.

"My ***. You deserve to be scared to death. He Meili was unceremonious. Count her as the most reluctant person in the company's dormitory. "What's the secret?" She asked Zeng Mei again, her tone full of curiosity.

"Why are you in the dorm?" Zeng Mei was more curious than her.

"Don't mention it. I'm out of love again. Tell me about you, let me be happy. I need stimulation so much. He Meili changed her posture and lay on her side on the bed, and she didn't care about it.

Zeng Mei smiled softly: "Go!" Let's go shopping! I'll talk about the secret, I'll talk about it later. ”

"I know a place for you who are bored." Zhu Beni sneered. She remembered Shanghai's LX Park.
