Chapter 3: Clearing up rumors
Teresa nodded: "Definitely, definitely." In fact, I have heard Mr. Shen's speech a lot, and I originally had an exhibition to visit today. However, I heard from friends in the press that there will be a fundraising event temporarily, and I came here specifically for this. ”
Yesterday, Principal Wang made an appointment with a few photographers, who had already gone to the hospital to see the abandoned children. Seeing their yellow and thin faces, it was naturally more sympathetic and unbearable than just hearing about it. thanked Teresa Teng for her gratitude, and told her in detail what she had seen.
The two talked very seriously, and before they knew it, they had arrived backstage.
Shen Chuyun was holding flowers in his hand, and was surrounded by a group of admirers in the center, tiptoeing and waving "Sister Lisa".
The students who came to lay flowers saw that the principal was also coming, and they were a little afraid for no reason, so they thought about slipping away. All blushed slightly and politely took their leave.
Shen Chuyun stuffed the flower in his hand into Deng Lisha's arms and gave her a big hug: "I heard from the students that the fundraising outside was very successful, and an account book was already full. I flipped through it, and I saw that you had donated 200 yuan, you are really a great good person. You must know that although the welfare institute has contacted some churches to accommodate the victims, even if the space is vacated, it is still a problem for so many children to eat, wear and educate. Without money, I really don't know how to do it to them. ”
This amount also surprised Principal Wang, and he also added some words of gratitude.
Deng Lisha was a little embarrassed to be said, bowed her head and smiled: "Public welfare, how can I talk about a word of thanks." Moreover, I guess Mr. Shen's donation will only be more, not less. ”
That's a good thing, and all three of them laughed.
Someone outside asked Principal Wang to deal with some things, so she left first.
Teresa Teng and Shen Chuyun had a conversation earlier because of Liang Xiuzhen's relationship, so they were not embarrassed to get along. Teresa Teng said worriedly: "I gave up my profession so that the women's work in our country can be carried out more comprehensively, so this is also my business." I feel very sorry for these children, although the natural disasters are ruthless, but the girls are more abandoned. ”
Shen Chuyun also smiled, nodded and agreed: "Yes, I heard about this situation, I didn't sleep well last night." ”
Teresa Teng's dimples swirled, and her eyes seemed to have stars: "I just heard what my sister-in-law said, so that women have the opportunity to receive education and sow the seeds of equality from generation to generation, I am very shocked." Of course, women are free to choose to work or not, but even if they are dedicated to their husbands and children, they should no longer be taught anything that 'women are virtuous if they are not talented'. We should let our next generation, women are confident, and men respect women. ”
Shen Chuyun felt that if she continued to talk like this, she was afraid that she would not be able to help raise donations, so she shook her hand and said with a smile: "I think we still have a lot to say, so let's find a place to sit." But I'm going to have to wait a little longer, I still have some things to do. When I was done, I had to say hello to Principal Wang and several directors of the Children's Hospital before leaving. ”
Teresa Teng is here, and there are some private matters that have to be explained clearly, so she nodded her head.
After the incident, the Han family's car stopped at a café near the fourth girls' high school.
The two of them sat down by the window in the corner and ordered coffee and snacks each.
Teresa Teng took a sip of coffee, felt mellow in her mouth, nodded slightly, and then raised her eyes and said: "It's a pity that sister-in-law still has to take care of the family, otherwise you can go to all cities across the country and spread your ideas." ”
Shen Chuyun didn't think it was a pity, and replied with a smile: "You can do this without leaving home." ”
Teresa looked at her suspiciously.
Shen Chuyun turned his mouth towards the pillar, and it turned out that there was a newspaper on the shelf over there, and it was Teresa Teng's translation spread out on the surface.
Deng Lisha curled her lips and smiled, and said, "It seems that our Mr. Shen is preparing to open a column in the newspaper." ”
Speaking of work, Shen Chuyun's smile overflowed into his eyes, and he looked energetic: "It's even bigger than this idea!" I have also made this argument at many conferences, we have many newspapers and magazines with a male perspective, but there are only a handful of them on the female side, and the momentum is still too weak. ”
Teresa Teng thought it was great, nodded incessantly, and offered to join in.
Shen Chuyun thought that once such a newspaper was opened, he would have to ask Teresa Teng for a draft, and it would be better if he could get her help in the early stage. However, with the failure of the marriage between the two families in the past, I am afraid that such a relationship will also be a harm to Teresa Teng. Because of this concern, he was ambiguous about helping, and only said that the manuscript was certain.
Deng Lisha knew her thoughts well and sneered: "Speaking of which, since the marriage problem of the fourth master of your house was made public, my sister-in-law has rarely contacted me. ”
"This ......" Shen Chuyun didn't expect her to take the initiative to talk about it, and she didn't know how to parry.
"Actually, I wanted to talk about it a long time ago, but my father wouldn't allow it, he thought that some of my words were just youthful and vigorous, and he said it casually. Sister-in-law, you are a completely new-school person, and you should agree that since people have the freedom to marry, they should also have the freedom not to marry. Originally, it was to clarify the issue of love, Teresa Teng had already sat upright, speaking urgently, the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she longed that today's words could be widely spread from this small café.
"You?" Shen Chuyun couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.
However, on second thought, it is not uncommon for people who have stayed abroad to come into contact with some avant-garde ideas, and there are more and more pioneer scholars in society who hold this attitude towards life.
Teresa Teng said firmly: "Yes, I just hold this attitude. I don't say no to love, but at this stage I prefer freedom. Even if it changes in the future, I think that people can try to maintain love without relying on marriage letters and morality alone. ”
Shen Chuyun couldn't help laughing: "You know, your cousin has always thought that I was an idealist. But now it seems that your concept of only talking about love and not restraint is even more ethereal. However, you are right, people have a choice. If you choose this way of life now, it may not change in the future, everything should just go with the flow. ”
After that, I asked, since Teresa Teng didn't take a fancy to Han Zhongkun, why did Liang Xiuzhen want her to be a loser in her relationship?
Without asking, Teresa Teng had already opened the conversation: "My father seems to be enlightened, sent me to stay abroad, and advocated that I fall in love freely." But when it comes to marriage, he believes that people must have marriage. Isn't this proposition the freedom of a half-? A few times I got bored of listening to it and stayed in a hotel for a few nights. He also knew that I had an income and could not be forced to live on me, so he repeatedly asked his relatives to persuade me. Speaking of this, he smiled contemptuously, with some disdain at the corner of his mouth, and opened his mouth to answer the confusion in Shen Chuyun's eyes, "My cousin is not only one of them, but also the one with the most bad ideas. At first, it was just a trap design, and I was constantly asked to meet the young men I liked in my family on various occasions. Usually though, I don't give a good look. Later, she said that I always don't give face like this, and no one will be willing to pull the red line for me in the future, and she also thinks that my marriage attitude should never be made public, and it will become a laughing stock if it is spread out. even suggested to my parents that it was better to suffer a loss, making people think that I was dumped by the fourth master of your mansion and had not recovered yet, so I have always been a little out of shape in dealing with people. ”
Shen Chuyun felt puzzled and wondered.
In the eyes of a group of relatives who forced Teresa Teng to get married, it is not a shame to declare that she is in love, but it is a shame not to want to get married. Because today's people are still stuck in the view that if they don't get married, no one wants it.
However, Shen Chuyun can't help Teresa Teng's anger, in case she goes back today and makes a big fuss out of thin air, it is because of Shen Chuyun. persuaded her to look away: "Don't be too demanding, I think my uncle can rest assured that you can choose a partner according to your own heart, which is already beyond the reach of many parents." You see, my family is ......"
When Deng Lisha heard this, she also became curious: "I have never dared to take the liberty of asking, but since I have told my secret, my sister-in-law should also exchange with me." Sister-in-law's thinking is so new, how can it ......"
Shen Chuyun saw that she was embarrassed to say it clearly, so he broke it himself: "How can you bear it, right?" You must know that I was born in an old-fashioned family, and my father was a Kejia Jinshi, so it can be said that I have been a conservative since I was a child. As for why I joined the Women's Promotion Association, it was also after I got married and listened to my father-in-law's arrangement. The diplomatic work done by his old man requires a very good personal image, which of course includes the image of the family. He needs the support of some foreigners, and all foreign countries advocate women's independence, believing that this is the embodiment of human rights, and since he is a key member of the cabinet, he needs to have such a high degree of civilized spirit. At that time, I had just gotten married, the third lady in the family was studying abroad, and the fifth sister was still young. As for my mother-in-law, if she comes out to support women's independence, it will inevitably remind people that my father-in-law also has a concubine. That's why I decided to do it. The reason why my mother's family agreed to me to show up was not really enlightened, but because I agreed with my husband as a wife. I can't bear to be pressed by two major mountains like this, what can I do? Moreover, over the past few years, I have also identified with this job and consider myself a person who has contributed. Therefore, I don't want to shift everyone's attention from my mind to my life because of family conflicts. ”
"How can it sound like it's all gold?" Teresa Teng held her forehead and couldn't help but say what she was thinking.
Shen Chuyun didn't mind her directness, and comforted herself with a wry smile: "I can't look at it like this, in fact, I don't think it's anything." In any case, by mistake, I have become a person who has contributed to society to some extent, and it is not a dry meal. ”
The two sighed once, and had to talk about some work things again, so as to turn over the troubles of life.
Shen Chuyun sent Deng Lisha home, and when she got out of the car to say goodbye, the two, who had become friends, began to call each other by their names affectionately.
