Chapter 37: The Lamb
Shen Mengxi secretly checked Liang Nianbing's child, and it was very good, she was not infected by her mother.
She often gives her some small snacks or food suitable for young children, and the little girl will smile and nod her head when she eats beautifully, and pouting her body to express her joy. They often beat the small drum with their hands in the yard and sing "I have a little donkey", and the little girl can't sing, so she slaps the drum and babbles... Donkey... Ride...", which made Shen Mengxi laugh.
In fact, Shen Mengxi had already prepared anti-tuberculosis drugs such as rifampicin and streptomycin in the pharmacy of Wuling space, and as soon as they spoke, they offered it with both hands, she admired the couple's achievements in architecture, and she didn't love Xu Shizhe, so she couldn't hate Lin Huiya, so she hoped that Lin Huiya could be healthy. But Lin Huiya never asked Shen Mengxi to find medicine for her, Shen Mengxi guessed that it was probably her self-esteem, and she was still thinking about her outspokenness. In Shen Mengxi's view, being weak and sick is not a scandal, and all problems will be solved when they get better.
The patient's psychological distortion is understandable, Shen Mengxi decided to be generous, she stopped Liang Chengru who was off work at the door of the house, and handed him a paper bag in her hand, "Director Liang, this is a medicine recommended by a German friend who is a doctor, please believe in my sincerity, for the sake of the child, I must get better as soon as possible!" ”
Shen Mengxi looked at Liang Chengru calmly, and the other party was a little surprised, "How many oceans, I'll go home and get it to you." ”
"When Professor Lin is cured, give it to me again, otherwise I seem to be selling dog skin plasters." Shen Mengxi said with a smile.
Liang Chengru also nodded with a smile and lifted his glasses, "Professor Zhang is open-minded, we are too ruthless, and Liang is ashamed." ”
"Haha, I just can't see the beauty suffer!" He put a brown bear doll in his hand, "Give Bingbing." ”
In addition to breakfast, Shen Mengxi went to the cafeteria to eat a bite of the other two meals, and took up a lot of time to prepare for class and write, and he had to do his own hygiene, and only on Sunday would he put some effort into making something delicious.
On the third Sunday after the start of school, Shen Mengxi went to the vegetable market to buy a strip of pork belly, and bought some spices, flour, and vegetables, and kept some of them in the Wuling space as usual.
I made a large portion of braised pork, prepared to eat half of it, save half of it, and then give a part to the cute neighbor girl.
The little girl didn't knock on the door, but attracted an old man, it was Mr. Peng Yingyun, a professor of law who lived next door to the right, he not only came by himself, but also brought his wife, both of whom were in their fifties, and as soon as they entered the door, they exclaimed: "What authentic Dongpo meat!" ”
Shen Mengxi hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down, but Mr. Peng didn't sit down, but went directly into the kitchen, pointed to the braised pork that had just come out of the pot and said, "I want a bowl of meat!" ”
Mrs. Peng smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, we're here to ask for food!" ”
Shen Mengxi laughed, "Please don't even come!" Hurry up and take your seats! ”
Hurriedly put two bowls of rice, gave a small bowl of braised pork to Bingbing, served the rest, and mixed a plate of blanched spinach fungus vermicelli, and added a little bit of mixed mustard.
I brought myself a bowl of rice and served it together.
Mr. Peng's eating posture was very fierce, and after a while, half a plate of meat was eaten by him, and Shen Mengxi hurriedly grabbed two pieces of meat and put them on the rice.
Mrs. Peng swallowed the food in her mouth, "I haven't seen this posture, Lao Peng is good at everything, but it's easy to lose his temper when he sees delicious food!" ”
"Melt in your mouth, fragrant but not greasy, superb! The next time I make braised pork, I'll make more, I see that you still set aside a bowl, it's too stingy, hum! Mr. Peng said while eating.
"That's for Bingbing, you won't rob a girl who is less than two years old." Shen Mengxi pretended to be angry.
"Then forget it." Mr. Peng ate very satisfied, Shen Mengxi only ate two pieces of meat, and ate some cold dishes, I don't know why, although he didn't eat anything, but watching this old man eat happily, he was actually very satisfied and happy.
"Let Miss Zhang see and laugh, I was born with no talent for cooking, he is delicious, he has complained about me all my life, today I suddenly smelled the smell of braised pork, and I couldn't wipe my face alone, so he pulled me to ask for a bite of meat to eat." Mrs. Peng put down the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile.
"The two of you don't dislike my lack of craftsmanship, and I am deeply honored to be so supportive. If you don't dislike it, I'll make a boiled fish another day, you two ......"
"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Before the words fell, Mr. Peng quickly spoke and took a bite of cold food, "This dish is not bad." It's light and refreshing, old woman, I'm eating vegetables today, you can take a good look at it! ”
Mrs. Peng smiled and said, "See! ”
Shen Mengxi saw that they had all finished eating, so he said, "I didn't prepare, I really didn't entertain well today." ”
Mr. Peng waved his hand indifferently, saying that it didn't matter, "...... next time"
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Peng pulled her sleeve, swallowed it quickly, and looked at Shen Mengxi with a smile and stopped talking.
"Next time, I'll cook a few more dishes that you two like."
"Okay, I love meat."

Northeastern University has a physical education department, a special basketball team and a soccer team, and last year they even went to Japan to compete and achieved good results, and directly refuted the fallacy of the sick man of East Asia with their strong physique.
Shen Mengxi runs in the playground every morning, puts on wireless headphones, plays a rhythmic song on a loop, and easily runs five kilometers. The morning exercise is all boys, and they are full of interest in the female teacher who comes to run, especially when she runs with a sense of rhythm, which makes them feel very infectious.
When a male student finished stretching Shen Mengxi and was about to go back, he stopped her and asked for advice, "Professor Zhang, why are you running so easily?" ”
"You run with your legs, and I run with my core." Shen Mengxi took off the headphones and put them in his pocket and replied.
"Core strength?"
"It's the dantian that exerts force and drives the limbs, you know Tai Chi, the same reason."
The boy shook his head puzzled, Shen Mengxi covered his lower abdomen and said, "This is it, it takes a long time to slowly understand." ”
Shen Mengxi looked at his ignorant face, "Are you from Dalian?" ”
"I'm four big silver! Ganjing (Ganjingzi)! My name is Liu Changchun! The student was glad the teacher heard his accent.
Shen Mengxi laughed and bent over with a straight smile, this student mentioned Ganjingzi, which reminded her of a long, long time ago (later?). A funny video on the Internet is about ducks on the road in Gezhenbao, Ganjingzi District.
She has lived in Dalian for many years and can be regarded as her second hometown. At this moment, I heard a familiar accent, which was very kind, and I laughed with tears for a while.
Liu Changchun's face was embarrassed, and the classmates around him also looked at him, he paced crampedly, wanting to walk away, but he was embarrassed, because the teacher hadn't finished laughing yet.
Shen Mengxi easily stopped laughing and wiped the corners of his eyes, "What did you say was your name?" ”
"Liu Changchun."
"Your name is Liu Changchun?" Shen Mengxi asked again.
"Hmm." Liu Changchun died of grievances.
"You're a good runner!" Shen Mengxi gave a thumbs up and praised.
"He broke three national records last year!" The classmate who was watching the excitement next to him added.
"That's right, Teacher Zhang didn't come last year!"
Liu Changchun was a little embarrassed to be praised in front of him like this, "It's nothing." ”
"If you have the opportunity to go to the Olympics, you can definitely get a good result! Are you seasick not? Set off early if you get seasick, I'm optimistic about you! I can sponsor your travel expenses! Shen Mengxi patted him on the shoulder, "That's it!" ”
Liu Changchun was dumbfounded, he didn't know what the female teacher was talking about, and when he came back to his senses, he had already gone away.

The Japanese military exercises have become more frequent, and more than 30 times have been carried out in half a year, and the ordinary people seem to have become numb and no longer resist as fiercely as before. It's like someone tells you that one day in a year is the end of the world, and you will be terrified, but every day a little bit permeates and tells you that there is a volcano here, a tsunami there, and you will slowly accept the reality calmly.
In this year, a large number of Koreans emigrated to Tohoku, and Japanese consulates and police stations were set up everywhere, deliberately provoking various incidents under the pretext of protecting Koreans. Once the stakes occur, it is a matter of consular adjudication, which is not subject to Chinese law, and it is always the Chinese who suffer in the end, and if the Korean immigrants are expelled, they will be interfered with by Japan, and they will be in a dilemma for a while. Japan's naked purpose has been revealed: the first step in conquering the world is to conquer China, and the first step in conquering China is to conquer Manchuria! At this time, Dalian had been occupied by the Kwantung Army. The three eastern provinces are so precarious that even women and children can sense them, but most of them seem to have no way to react except to bear them, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
On this day, Shen Mengxi saw two men in North Korean clothes, swaggering through the market, and trying to tease the women on the road, the woman was so frightened that she trembled, she didn't even dare to scream, just prayed in a low voice, Shen Mengxi picked up her handbag and hit it, the North Koreans turned around and scolded, Shen Mengxi scolded back in the Korean language he had just learned, the man was stunned, and said with a bad smile: "Manchurian women are not as capable as North Korean women, but they are all good-looking!" One for each person! The two let out a shrill laugh.
Shen Mengxi took out the Browning pistol given by Zhang Hanqing and pointed it at one of them, "Go back to North Korea, Goryeo stick!" ”
The two North Koreans looked at each other, not believing that a woman would dare to shoot someone in the street, and they were eager to provoke an incident. He approached Shen Mengxi with a cruel smile, "Smack!" A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the foot of the man who was walking in front of him, stirring up a cloud of dust, and he jumped to his feet in fright and screamed.
"I said go back!" Shen Mengxi was stunned word by word.
It's best to be able to provoke trouble, but you can't lose your life, the two North Koreans shouted a few words and left stupidly.
Shen Mengxi looked back and saw that the woman didn't know when she ran away, and the people who were watching from a distance also turned their heads and left, Shen Mengxi laughed and put away the gun.
