Chapter Forty-Nine: The Red Eight Treasure Chests
Wang Shouqing called that night, saying that his official business was urgent and that he would rush back to Nanjing overnight. And joked that next time I go on vacation, I still want to eat sauerkraut dumplings.
Seeing that Shen Mengxi was silent, he reiterated his sincerity again,—— once the window paper is pierced, it will be easy to speak.
He directly promised that although he would not talk sweetly, he would protect her and be loyal to her for the rest of his life. Immediately, the straight male personality was exposed, and he asked Shen Mengxi to give him an answer immediately, which sounded to Shen Mengxi, "If you can't make it, you can give a happy word!" ”
However, Shen Mengxi didn't wait to speak, and hurriedly said again, "Forget it, you can think about it for a month!" I'm leaving! With a snap, he snapped the phone.
Shen Mengxi only said "Hey" from beginning to end, and she didn't allow a word to be said, she looked at the microphone angrily and laughed, listening to the busy sound inside.
When I turned around, I saw Helen and Zhang Jiayu eavesdropping behind me, "It's so boring!" ”
Zhang Jiayu learned Wang Shouqing's tone and said, "Jiayu, I will protect you all my life and be loyal to you all my life!" ”
Shen Mengxi threw out a slipper, and Zhang Jiayu climbed upstairs with a roll, giggling and laughing. Helen also went back to her room happily.
When he went upstairs and returned to the study, Shen Mengxi didn't calm down to write for a while, and for the first time seriously reviewed all the past acquaintances with Wang Shouqing in the past few years. The first acquaintance in England, the tall figure who came in the sunshine, returned to China together, and treated each other with courtesy; At the beginning of the business, we helped each other. Usually get along, as light as clear water, although there are no waves, they are not disgusted.
A car horn sounded outside the window, and Shen Mengxi came to the window for some reason and opened the curtains.
Under the clear light, Wang Shouqing, who was wearing a military uniform, stood outside the door, and a car beside him did not turn off the engine, and the headlights were turned on. Seeing the figure by the window, Wang Shouqing didn't say anything, just walked outside the wall, stood still, looked up and waved at her, he couldn't even see his expression clearly, but Shen Mengxi felt that he was smiling, and he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.
Wang Shouqing raised his hand and waved again, turned around and got into the car without hesitation, honked the horn, and drove away.
The car's taillights flickered, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
The beautiful women's calendar on the wall is drawn to November, Shen Mengxi's heart began to become heavier and heavier, she can't be sure if it is like the Shenyang incident, Xu Shizhe's crash is also variable, will it happen in advance? Can she stop him from changing Xu Shizhe's fate?
On November 11th, Xu Shizhe returned to Shanghai from Beiping, Shen Mengxi asked Ah Huan to visit him at home, Lu Xiaomei did not hate Ah Huan, on the contrary, she liked him very much, first, Ah Huan was a very likable child, and second, she knew that she could not have children, and it was naturally better to treat this may be Xu Shizhe's only child.
Ah Huan stayed in Xu Shizhe's apartment for half a day, and came back in the afternoon, saying that he had eaten a lot of delicious food, and Mrs. Xu was also very polite and friendly to him. But it seems that my father seems to have quarreled with Mrs. Xu.
Shen Mengxi told Ah Huan that he didn't have to worry about anything else, just get together with his father regularly.
Over there, Wang Shouqing took advantage of the holiday to visit Zhang Jiaxuan, and asked him to accompany him to Baoshan to meet Zhang's father, it is said that divorced women can make their own decisions when remarrying, but in order to show respect, he specially went to Zhang's house and met the old man first.
Father Zhang was very satisfied when he heard the fourth son talk about Wang Shouqing's well-known resume, but in the end he heard that Wang Shouqing was the ex-husband of Xu Shizhe's wife, and immediately looked at Wang Shouqing with regret and said categorically, "I am old and stubborn." Shizhe married your wife, and you in turn took his wife, this, what has become of this? There has never been such a ridiculous thing in all dynasties! Please go back, I won't agree to it anyway! ”
Wang Shouqing was like being struck by lightning, standing in front of Zhang's father, unable to say a word for a long time.
Zhang Jiajiao persuaded his father that now it is the Republic of China, and he does not talk about the old etiquette, his sister and Shizhe have long been divorced, and now they have nothing to do with it, and it is legal to remarry anyone. As for the mouths of Youyou, no one can block them, and after a long time, the wind and waves are naturally calm.
Father Zhang still insisted on his opinion and waved them out. Zhang Jiaxuan pulled Wang Shouqing, who was lost and depressed, and suddenly felt as if it was self-defeating.
Shen Mengxi didn't know all this. She is closely watching Xu Shizhe's whereabouts, or rather, she is anxiously waiting for November 19.
Xu Shizhe is very sensitive, and naturally knows that many of Ah Huan's concerns and questions come from his ex-wife, and he has never had such treatment, so he feels very useful in his heart.
On this day, he came to Shen Mengxi's house, and said to Shen Mengxi with a generous smile, "Jiayu, although we have no chance, I sincerely bless you and Shouqing, he is a very good person, you are very suitable." ”
Shen Mengxi rolled his eyes, "Take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about my affairs." Xu Shizhe always feels that others love him and tolerate him, of course, he also has no scheming, he is easy to be happy and easy to be sad.
Xu Shizhe put down a suitcase in his hand, "It used to be stored in Ling Su's place, but recently I brought it back, and her husband didn't like it." Hehe. ”
Shen Mengxi said in his heart, it's strange to like it.
Look at this red suitcase, there is a small lock on it, the kind that prevents gentlemen and villains.
"Jiayu, I ask you to keep it for me."
"What's in there, don't you dare to let your wife know?" Shen Mengxi smiled.
"It's all old things, things that I don't dare to look at or discard."
Shen Mengxi seemed a little sad when he heard him, "Then you can get it as soon as possible." I'm also a lot of people here. ”
"I'm relieved to leave it to you."
Shen Mengxi recently read Lin Huiya's prose, she felt like she was looking at Van Gogh's paintings, to be honest, she couldn't understand it, and she seemed to be very low-level, so she had to skim it. "You stretch like a lake of water towards the white clouds in the clear sky, and like a first-class cold stream, clarifying that I follow the forest bank to investigate your spring, but I still have all kinds of suspicions about every reflection of you!"
This kind of work, which requires a very high resonance of the soul, can only be shelved.
But someone must have read it. For example, Xu Shizhe.
"My life is only that spring, and it's really pitiful, but I haven't wasted it. Just that spring, my life is natural and really pleasant! I recognized the light of the stars and the moon, the green of the grass, the fragrance of the flowers, and the diligence of the flowing water. Can I forget that early spring bare eye? Ah, isn't this the new tide stained with lonely wicker? ”
Xu Shizhe's she can't read it, and she doesn't even have the patience to read it.
Shen Mengxi looked through their anthology in the Wuling space, and by the way, he also read Lu Xiaomei's, "I haven't been close to you for more than ten days, I love, and now I can write happily again." A few days ago, because I couldn't receive your letter, he was at home again, and I was annoyed, so I forgot your words again, and every day I just went to spend time in the lively field, either playing cards or going out to dance, sometimes I didn't care if my spirit was sluggish, I shook my head and then moved forward."
Sure enough, things gather like and people are grouped, Shen Mengxi felt that he could never enter that circle of friends, and it was very important for friends to be able to chat. She began to suspect that when she was in Shenyang, Lin Huiya got along with her very well, and she was completely grateful for her gift of medicine and accommodating in every way.
Shen Mengxi watched Xu Shizhe happily eat a piece of chiffon cake, drank a cup of coffee, and seemed to be leaving.
Just said, "The weather has been bad lately, so you should live in Shanghai for a while." Ah Huan is also celebrating her birthday. ”
"Huiya has a speech to foreign friends, I want to go to Beiping." Speaking of which, the fate of Xu Shizhe and Lin Huiya is also wonderful, Lin Huiya returned to Beiping from Shenyang, but Xu Shizhe went from Beiping to Nanjing Central University to teach.
"You haven't celebrated Ah Huan's birthday yet!"
"Ah Huan can celebrate her birthday every year, and Huiya's speech is different every time! Besides, what is the child's birthday, and it is not the whole birthday. Xu Shizhe disagreed.
Shen Mengxi said in his heart, the child celebrates his birthday every year, and you don't have the opportunity to accompany him every year!
"When are you going to Beiping?"
"The 20th, the 22nd." Xu Shizhe stood up and prepared to leave.
If it's the 20th, the weather will be better.
"Then buy a comfortable sleeper ticket, and when the time comes, I will listen to Huiya's speech, and bring it for me!" Shen Mengxi also stood up.
"Jiayu has booked a ticket for me."
"That's good, I wish you a safe journey!" Shen Mengxi sent him to the gate and stretched out his right hand.
Xu Shizhe laughed loudly, stretched out his arm and hugged Shen Mengxi in a foreign manner, and then waved goodbye.
Shen Mengxi sighed, still worried in his heart. Walking up to Rhubarb, Rhubarb wagged his tail vigorously, making Shen Mengxi's mood better, she combed the dog's hair with a comb, and muttered in a low voice that she should be able to dodge, Ah Huan didn't have to face it.
Rhubarb stuck out his tongue and squinted comfortably, and simply lay down on the ground.
One man and one dog, no one noticed, and a man stood there not far across the road outside the gate, looking at them motionlessly.
Shen Mengxi once accumulated the dog hair that rhubarb had fallen off and poked a puppy like rhubarb, Ah Huan liked it very much, and now they left the dog hair every time, so that Hongzhi and the three of them also poked one.
Shen Mengxi put the comb on Rhubarb's forehead, "Don't move!" ”
Rhubarb doesn't move. Shen Mengxi went into the house and took out a plastic ball, took off the comb, and gave Rhubarb a piece of meat to eat.
Then started the game of throwing the ball and picking up the ball, throwing it over, and the rhubarb picked it up, Shen Mengxi just threw the ball mechanically, and she didn't know what she was thinking. The people who passed across the street also stood there and watched for a long, long time.
In the end of the 19th, when Zhang Jiayu was having dinner, she was still talking about driving Shen Mengxi's car early tomorrow morning, sending Shizhe to the train station, and asking Ah Huan if she wanted to go.
Shen Mengxi's heart can be regarded as landing.
At about two o'clock in the morning, Rhubarb suddenly screamed, and the gate was shaken. Shen Mengxi sat up with a spirit, and his cold hair stood up.
Zhao San'er rushed from the backyard to answer the door, I didn't know what I heard, and shouted in a hurry, "Miss!" Come down! Something is wrong! ”
Shen Mengxi had already dressed up and went downstairs.
Zhang Jiayu was wearing pajamas and sleepy-eyed, "Sister, I'll go and see, don't go out." ”
A minute later, Zhang Jiayu's howl came from outside the door.
Shen Mengxi sat on the ground,—— it still happened.
