Chapter 54: Her Black and White Meal

Some time ago, the Mengxi column opened a skylight, and the declaration was not supplemented by other people's articles, but was just empty on a blank paper, with a note next to it, "Mengxi went to the front line to do medical assistance, and the content of this issue is blank."

Mengxi's identity was then completely revealed, and the citizens were surprised that a female professor had the courage to go to the front line to do battlefield ambulance, some people questioned the authenticity of the matter, suspected that she was gaining a good reputation, and some insiders posted articles praising Shen Mengxi's feats.

Shen Mengxi did not respond. Just wrote two articles, one about field ambulancers and one about ordinary soldiers on the front. The content is real and detailed, better than any war correspondent's report, the article mentions the bombing of the ambulance team by Japanese fighters, mentions the sacrificed and wounded members of the ambulance team, and also mentions the blind Zhang Fengxiang.

Recently, a number of newspapers in Shanghai have been shut down by the government for publishing anti-Japanese remarks, and they have also received two serious warnings for their declarations.

In early February, the Japanese army set fire to the Northeast Library and occupied Harbin, completely falling to the three eastern provinces.

Tohoku University has become a university in exile completely.

The University of Tokyo reluctantly resumed classes in Peking in October last year, and the school's conditions in all aspects are much worse than before, and there is a serious loss of teachers. Shen Mengxi received a call from Principal Luo, and her family strongly opposed her leaving Shanghai, and Shen Mengxi did not want to go to Zhang Hanqing's school to work again, so she planned to send another 10,000 yuan to Principal Luo to help him tide over the difficulties. President Luo resigned repeatedly, saying that Zhang Hanqing had allocated funds to the University of Tokyo, and Shen Mengxi stopped thinking when he heard it.

On 6 July, nearly 2,000 people attended the farewell party for Liu Changchun's trip to Los Angeles to participate in the Olympic Games.

Shen Mengxi originally wanted to sponsor Liu Changchun to set off early, go to Los Angeles to rest for a few more days, and participate in the competition in good physical condition.

In 1931, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) sent a letter of invitation to China, and in order to gain popularity in the international community, the puppet Manchukuo strongly advocated that Liu Changchun and middle-distance runner Yu Xiwei participate in the competition, promising to be a high-ranking official.

Liu Changchun immediately refused to state in the "Ta Kung Pao" that "Gou Yu still has a conscience and blood is still flowing, how can he forget the motherland and be a puppet and a puppet puppet country." ”

Yu Xiwei claimed to be ill and refused to compete for the puppet Manchukuo.

In order not to annoy Japan, the Nationalist Government announced that it would not send players to participate in the competition, citing insufficient funds.

Finally, at the end of June, Zhang Xueliang personally donated 8,000 silver dollars, and the national government urgently telegraphed the International Olympic Committee to accommodate, and the registration was successful. There were only two members of the Chinese delegation, one was Liu Changchun and the other was an interpreter.

There was a delay in applying for a passport and visa, and the cruise flight also had a fixed date, so it was stuck at the last time to depart. The flight is about 20 days, and he will be competing in Los Angeles soon, so it will be difficult for Liu Changchun to achieve good results this time.

Liu Changchun was very happy to see Shen Mengxi, asked the reporter to take a group photo with them, and said with a big grin, "Professor Zhang can run away!" ”

After the farewell party, Shen Mengxi found Liu Changchun alone and gave him an envelope containing two thousand US dollars, and a large bag containing several bags of protein powder, milk powder, beef jerky, apples, and some vitamins, as well as wind oil essence, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, etc. Tell him that if the cabin has no windows, find a way to change to a first-class cabin at a high price, and make sure that he has enough physical strength and good spirits when he arrives in Los Angeles.

Liu Changchun waved his hand again and again in a panic, saying that President Zhang had already given so much ocean, how could he ask for Professor Zhang's money again, Shen Mengxi put the things in his hand, "These are not for you to enjoy, but you need to be in good condition and physical strength to compete!" You represent the country, it is the University of Tokyo, take a decent result and win glory for the Chinese! ”

Liu Changchun nodded vigorously, solemnly took the money and things, and bowed.

"This is for you personally, you don't have to tell anyone, remember!"

Liu Changchun's eyes were red, and Shen Mengxi patted him on the shoulder, "Come on!" I'm optimistic about you! ”

After the death of her mother, Lu Xiaomei completely lost her support.

The only one who will never abandon her is Weng Ruiwen, Lu Xiaomei changed to a smaller apartment, dismissed many servants, and left only four servants to serve her daily life.

Lu Xiaomei doesn't do anything to produce, just sorts out a little Xu Shizhe's posthumous works every day, or paints and writes, and smokes opium regularly.

Lie with her every day through the lamp, swallowing clouds and spitting fog. Lu Xiaomei officially started living with Weng Ruiwen, Weng Ruiwen supported her to continue to study painting, and also supported her to sort out Xu Shizhe's works, and took care of her meticulously.

When Xu's father heard this, he became even more angry, and resolutely cut off all contact with Lu Xiaomei, and did not allow her to worship Xu Shizhe.

And the Weng family did not recognize her, and she was not allowed to participate in all the activities during the New Year's holidays. Several older sensible children of the Weng family also hated her to death.

Hu Hongxing came to Shanghai for this reason, persuaded Lu Xiaomei to leave Weng Ruiwen, and promised that he could provide her living expenses. But Lu Xiaomei couldn't do without opium and Weng Ruiwen's massage at this time, only saying that Weng Ruiwen had a deep affection for her and had always taken care of her, and she couldn't just leave him half-heartedly, and the relationship always had a beginning and an end.

Hu Hongxing looked at Lu Xiaomei, who no longer had the grace of the past, and had no choice but to leave.

Actually, from the beginning, he fell in love with Lu Xiaomei with Xu Shizhe, but he didn't have Xu Shizhe's courage, and he had a fierce wife at home, Jiang threatened with a kitchen knife, if you dare to divorce, I will kill the two children first, and then commit suicide! He immediately surrendered.

Later, he simply promoted Xu Shizhe and Lu Xiaomei, and Shen Mengxi didn't know what kind of thinking and mentality this was.

After Xu Shizhe was wrecked, he moved his mind again, but he didn't have Weng Ruiwen's massage skills, so he had to give up again.

After Yunshang reopened, Mrs. Weng only came to visit once, she was very haggard, her skin was saggy, her eyes were dull, and she said to Shen Mengxi, "It's still good like you." ”

Shen Mengxi didn't know whether she was referring to being single or financially independent, so she smiled and asked her to sit down.

"Actually, I shouldn't complain, it's God's punishment for me." Mrs. Weng said softly.

"If things can't be changed, try to accept them." Shen Mengxi said weakly.

"You're right." Mrs. Weng muttered. The waist of her clothes was more than an inch wider, and she held Yunshang's skirt in her hand for a long time, and she seemed to be very entangled.

"This style is not for you, next time there is a new model, I'll give you a call." Shen Mengxi brewed a cup of coffee for her, adding her partner and sugar, "You taste it, bitter and sweet." ”

"To be born as a human being, to suffer is to suffer, how can there be sweetness. They said, "If a man does evil, he will go to eighteen levels of hell. Where are the eighteen layers of hell? This world! It's hell! Mrs. Weng complained loudly and took a long sip of coffee.

"How so? You have five children, and they are growing up day by day, and your blessed days are ahead! Chinese talk about afterlife, and you are a blessed person at first glance. ”

"Am I?" Mrs. Weng touched her face, "I'm not even as good as that widow!" ”

"The blessed do not say that they enjoy the blessings of their husbands, but that they enjoy the blessings of their children." Shen Mengxi said with a smile.

"If she is my concubine, it's okay, she lives outside, and she is more comfortable than me! I can't even see my own husband, I'm not as good as the widow who was a courtesan! Mrs. Weng cried, "I have five children, and I can't die if I want to!" ”

Shen Mengxi gently stroked her bony back and gave birth to her fifth child, she may have suffered from depression.

Although Weng Ruiwen has good medical skills, he has to support the two families, and he also has to provide for Lu Xiaomei to learn painting, plus the opium smoke of the two of them, the cost is very expensive. He has already taken out the antiques from his home several times and sold them for turnover. He also worked part-time as the chief of the accounting section of Jiangnan Shipyard in order to have more income.

Mrs. Weng's life is not as comfortable as Lu Xiaomei's, so she always has to save money and consider expenses.

"He also took my eldest daughter there, and Xiangyun came back and said that the courtesan had to drink human milk on weekdays, and the good honey had to be beaten into the body from behind, just because she was constipated! I also need a car to get in and out, and my youngest son has quit his nurse! Oh my God, why didn't she go down to eighteen floors of hell! ”

Shen Mengxi knew for the first time that Lu Xiaomei's usual life was like this, and she was a little stunned for a while, Mrs. Weng saw Shen Mengxi's expression in surprise, she was very satisfied, and said, "My family Ruiwen was lowered by someone, you say, an opium smoker, his teeth are burnt, and he is a waste, how can he hook a man?" She's a goblin! I used a spell and harmed my family Ruiwen! Poor me, he won't look back! Mrs. Weng always felt that she and this Miss Zhang were on the same front, and she desperately hoped that Shen Mengxi could scold Lu Xiaoman with her.

"Have you thought about divorce?"

Mrs. Weng was stunned and looked at Shen Mengxi reproachfully, "I have five children!" I can't afford to throw it to them, and I can't afford to raise it with me, how can I get a divorce? If I were like you, with only one child and so much dowry and brother, I would have divorced early! ”

Shen Mengxi didn't know what she was good at or what she could do, so she didn't dare to suggest easily, she only said, "It's not easy to get a divorce, except that you don't have to be idle." ”

"The world is so chaotic now, I definitely won't be able to survive after divorce. You said that courtesan, how could he abandon the general who everyone admires and find a flowery Xu Shizhe! Miss Zhang, I've heard a lot of people say that General Wang is pursuing you! ”

"If others want to gossip, I can't help it, and if others want to pursue, I can't help it. However, no matter what the world, with or without a husband, I can live a good life! Shen Mengxi looked directly at Mrs. Weng.

Mrs. Weng was a little apologetic, "Why don't people gossip about our family, you are a rare kind-hearted person, I shouldn't talk like this." I can't compare to you, I have knowledge, I have the ocean, I have confidence, if my mother's family was half as good as you, I wouldn't be like this today! Then he began to cry again.

Shen Mengxi couldn't hold on a little, her sympathy gradually ran out, Mrs. Weng and Weng Ruiwen were childhood sweethearts, and they had a deep relationship, and she was also literate and hyphenated, but the deeper the feelings when she was young, the more she couldn't give up at this time.

Suddenly hearing the doorbell ringing, she turned her head to look, it was actually Zhang Hanqing in a suit, Mrs. Weng also saw the comer, and hurriedly stood up, her eyes were full of gossip and curiosity, the initial frustration and loneliness were gone, looking at Zhang Hanqing's face, she said goodbye with interest.
