"Our Taiping era (archaeology) is not the most appropriate way to maintain it from death in a very frugal way, and to restore it after the war. Personal life is hard, but not so bitter. I am a woman, and of course I immediately become the typical type of pure dregs, renting two rooms to cook, lessons, laundry, and making beds, and every day passes like a marquee. There were a few air raid sirens in the middle, and life was full to the fullest. ”

This passage was said by Lin Huiyin and Shen Congwen when they talked about archaeology (mainly for the investigation of ancient buildings) during the Anti-Japanese War.

Lin Hui suffered from tuberculosis, and historically, she was bedridden for almost all six years she lived in Lizhuang. Even so, she dragged her sick body to help Liang Sicheng and Jin Yuelin check the information, and even part of the book "History of Chinese Construction" was directly written by Lin Huiyin.

And Liang Sicheng was not easy, he was infected with tetanus when he set off from Kunming, and after being cured, he went to Chongqing to raise funds for the construction of the society, and finally met his seriously ill wife in Lizhuang. After arriving in Lizhuang, Liang Sicheng suffered from a disease on his lower back, unable to lie down or sit, and could only stand for a year to do research.

In fact, the couple had been living in distress before they left Kunming. Liang Sicheng wrote to Fairbank asking for an American magazine, and Lin Huiyin wrote to Fei Weimei asking for some old clothes. ”

Heilin Huiyin is a friend of green tea on the Internet, and I don't know if I really know the deeds of her life. Only her performance before and after the Anti-Japanese War is not something that ordinary people can do. Even if there was no Anti-Japanese War, a weak woman dragged her sick body and went over the mountains and mountains to inspect ancient buildings for several years, and she couldn't hold on without great perseverance.

Liufen restaurant.

Liang Sicheng helped Lin Huiyin to come in, and said gratefully: "Brother Mingcheng, thank you for your help." ”

"It's just a little favor," Zhou Hexuan blamed, "Brother Sicheng, why didn't you come to me when you went to Chongqing to raise funds some time ago?" Anyway, I am also a protégé disciple of Ren Gong. ”

Liang Sicheng explained with a wry smile: "When I was raising money in Chongqing, you were still in the United States and didn't come back, so you were embarrassed to go to the Zhou Mansion to disturb your sisters-in-law." ”

Zhou Hexuan asked Lin Huiyin again: "Does Mr. Lin feel better?" ”

Lin Huiyin said: "After taking sulfonamide, the fever went down quickly, and now my forehead is only slightly hot. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "Now sulfonamides are controlled by the government, and I, the owner of a pharmaceutical factory, can't take too much. I plan to donate a batch to Tongji Medical College every quarter, and when you need medicine, go to Tongji University to get it, and they will keep a copy for you. ”

Jin Yuelin said again and again: "That's good, that's good." ”

In this era, there is no specific drug for tuberculosis, and sulfonamide is already the most effective drug, at least Lin Huiyin does not have to carry the disease for several years.

Just as the four of them were talking, someone suddenly walked into the restaurant with a laugh: "Mingcheng, you, the God of Wealth, are finally here!" ”

Zhou Hexuan looked back, got up and hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Jizhi, Brother Meng He, Brother Meng Zhen, long time no see." ”

Li Ji, Tao Menghe, and Fu Sinian came side by side, and it seemed that they had a good relationship. But in two years, it will be very unpleasant, it is all made of money, and in order to grab limited funds between departments, the two almost didn't fight.

In fact, such a situation is very common in Li Zhuang, and there are countless examples of turning against each other. The reason why Tong Dizhou left Lizhuang was because he was forced to leave by the dean of the biology department of Tongji University, and not all of these scholars are saints.

Quarrels, name-calling, gossip, broken friendships...... Permeated in every corner of Li Zhuang. Lin Huiyin lamented in the article: "I doubt that people will eventually fight each other in this childlike way on an isolated island and live on a very meager supply. ”

Zhou Hexuan and Li Ji are old acquaintances, they often met and chatted in Tsinghua Garden back then, and Li Ji even participated in the naming of Xiaolingjun. The two also went to Shandong for archaeology together, when Zhou Hexuan took a piece of broken "eggshell pottery" at the scene.

As for Tao Menghe and Fu Sinian, Zhou Hexuan had only met once in the living room of Lin Huiyin's house, and they were nodding friends.

One after another, some people came to the restaurant, all of whom were from Tongji University, including Zhou Junshi, Huang Rongzeng, Ding Wenyuan, Wei Te, Stupaugh, Yan Kelan, Stewart, Chen Yidi and so on. From Weitt to Chen Yidi, these people were all foreign teachers, mainly Germans and Poles, and they spoke all German, and Tongji students who did not know German could not attend classes at all.

By the way, Chen Yidi, the husband of a German female doctor, is none other than Chen Yucang, a famous medical scientist in China. Today, Chen Yucang is still doing underground work in the French Concession in Shanghai, specializing in transmitting intelligence to Yan'an and Shanghai. Chen Yucang died before the founding of the People's Republic of China, while Chen Yidi remained in New China to teach.

The owner of the Liufen restaurant brought the white meat to the table and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, this is the wrapped meat that I personally cut." ”

Weyter, a foreigner, doesn't speak Chinese and only slaps his thigh frantically at the boss.

The boss immediately understood and said, "Understand, you want to braise the hooves." ”

Wei Tee smiled, gave a thumbs up and said, "Boom dripping stick, boom dripping stick!" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said in German: "Mr. Weight seems to come here often to eat." ”

Wei said: "The braised hooves in this restaurant are delicious, very delicious, and the most wonderful food I have ever tasted." ”

Tao Menghe said: "The best thing to eat is the meat wrapped in the feet, which is fat but not greasy, and the stutter is fragrant." All the wages I saved were contributed to my boss, and now I am all poor. However, the name of the foot-wrapped meat is too vulgar and harmful. ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and turned back to the boss and said, "Just change your name to Li Zhuang White Meat." ”

"This name is good," the boss is also a wonderful person, and quickly ran to get a pen and paper, "Please Mr. Zhou give the name inscription." ”

When Zhou Hexuan waved his pen to write, Li Ji laughed: "The boss's business is doing well. ”

After a burst of laughter, Zhou Hexuan said to Zhou Junshi, president of Tongji University: "President Zhou, I got a batch of wires from Chongqing, and I also ask you to organize the students of the College of Engineering to be responsible for the installation of the wires. This is a big project, and it needs to be brought from Syria (Yibin), and the local Pao Brothers' Association has already agreed to help erect the power poles. ”

Zhou Junshi said: "Mr. Zhou has helped us a lot. You don't know, medical school anatomy class has to pick a sunny day, otherwise students can't see the operation clearly. Especially in the College of Engineering, now we can only take some basic courses, and they are all out of electricity. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "In addition, I also shipped some paper, soap, tooth powder, ink, rice, salt, medicine and mimeograph machines, and donated them to Tongda, Academia Sinica, Zhongbo Institute, Jinling Research Institute and Construction Society. These supplies are in the dock warehouse, and you negotiate the distribution yourself. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and they were all so excited.

Li Zhuang lacked everything, such as the information documents of the Construction Society, Liang Sicheng could only write on the roughest yellow paper. When other institutions want to print materials, they also choose "lithograph" - printing through slate and acid glue.

In everyone's eyes, Zhou Hexuan has really become the God of Wealth.
