Chapter 62: A Tree Hangs Himself

Sunday was the first birthday of Zhang Jiasen's youngest son Zhang Benzhen, and the Zhang family held a family gathering in Tongfu Restaurant, chartered a restaurant, and the Zhang family was prosperous and gathered together.

The innocent child grabbed a pen and a seal on the big table with many items, and Aunt Huang smiled and said to the second aunt, "This child, when he grows up, must be a writer, and he has power!" The second aunt smiled from ear to ear, "I borrowed my sister's auspicious words!" ”

The real child held the seal tightly, stuffed it into his mouth, gnawed it a few times, and chirped his mouth, everyone laughed, and he was still waiting to taste it again, Huang Shiying hurriedly took it off.

Everyone gave gifts, set up a full table, Shen Mengxi also gave a golden lock, and a double-layer birthday cake, there were many people in the family, and one person tasted a piece, and they were all divided.

After three rounds of drinking, several children put down their chopsticks together under Ah Huan's hint and came to the open space in the hotel hall, Lu Ming took seven or eight children to line up in a row, Ah Huan played the piano, Jing Shu sang, Dabao held a bell and beat the beat, the prelude together, Shen Mengxi heard that it was originally "Cuckoo", "I am a cuckoo in the forest, my family lives in the beautiful halfway up the mountain" The song is cheerful and rhythmic, which is most suitable for children to do accompaniment when playing games, Shen Mengxi taught Ah Huan and Jingshu in his spare time, but he didn't expect them to arrange the program by themselves, those seven or eight children, Regardless of generation, they only stand in order according to the size of the person, clapping and stomping their feet to the rhythm, with a serious expression and neat movements, which looks funny and cute.

The atmosphere in the hotel was high for a while, and the adults also applauded along with the rhythm, Shen Mengxi took a lot of photos, Zhang's father was so happy to stroke his beard, sitting next to him were two aunts, one left and one right, and a group of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, how could he not be happy.

Shen Mengxi sat on his left leg with the innocent child, and on the right leg sat Zhang Jiasen's eldest grandson, who was one year older than the little uncle who had a birthday, holding a piece of candy in his hand and stuffing it into the innocent hand, "Little uncle, you eat." ”

In September, Ah Huan and Hongzhi went to Nanjing Central University to study together, because Zhang Xinhuai and his wife taught at the university, Shen Mengxi was not worried about Ah Huan, Ah Huan and Hongzhi had already learned basic life skills, simple laundry and cooking can be handled, but they usually don't have the opportunity to do it.

Ah Huan didn't show too much emotion, like an adult, hugged Shen Mengxi and patted her back, "Mom, you have to pay attention to rest, don't stay up late at night, I have told Ah Qing to remind you to rest at ten o'clock every night." ”

Shen Mengxi's eyes were a little damp, this child went to bed at nine o'clock every day, and before going to bed, he would knock on the door of the study, say good night outside the door, and say goodbye to bed early. This child, who has lost his father, actually cares about her very much.

Hongzhi also had red eyes, said goodbye to Shen Mengxi, and made a firm promise in his mouth that he would study hard and repay Miss Zhang for her life-saving kindness and nurturing grace in the future. Shen Mengxi patted him on the shoulder, "Hongzhi doesn't have to worry too much, flying higher and farther in the future is the best reward." ”

Ah Huan was not at home, Shen Mengxi devoted all his energy to work, the work of the hospital became busy, treating poor patients as usual every month, and also went to the shantytown of Rolling Dilong in Minhang District to administer medicine for free.

In October, Tang Feifei returned to China, clenched his fists at Shen Mengxi with pride, he brought back a full set of experimental equipment, and almost immediately devoted himself to the research of penicillin, "No one has discovered its value yet, I must develop it as soon as possible, must!" ”

With two assistants, he began by cultivating penicillium and gradually purified penicillin. Shen Mengxi couldn't help in the laboratory, but in terms of logistics and supplies, he was definitely in place, hired a chef alone, customized nutritious meals for the three of them, and regularly asked Father Zhang to see them to ensure their health.

Tang Feifei forgot to sleep and eat every day, unkempt, only two eyes were frighteningly bright, he didn't go home for forty consecutive days, Mrs. Tang complained, Shen Mengxi personally came to the door to appease, the Tang family has two children, one is five years old and one is three years old, the older one is fine, saying that he misses his father very much, and the younger one only knows carefree play, and he doesn't remember that there is a father at all.

Shen Mengxi handed over Tang Feifei's salary to Mrs. Tang on a monthly basis, and escorted Tang Feifei to go home once a week, or make a phone call to ensure safety.

In February 1934, Shen Mengxi was awakened by the phone at night, and as soon as he picked it up, Tang Feifei shouted, "I succeeded!" We did it! Shen Mengxi snapped the phone and immediately drove to the laboratory of the medical school, Tang Feifei smiled and burst into tears, "Miss Zhang, look! Tang Feifei recorded the experiment to Shen Mengxi, "The penicillin we cultivated can dissolve streptococcus and diphtheria bacilli without damaging human cells, do you understand?" It only hinders the synthesis of the cell wall of germs, while our human cells do not have a cell wall! Do you understand? ”

Of course, Shen Mengxi understood this principle, but at this time, he could only pretend to know it for the first time, but when he saw Tang Feifei, who had long hair, and the two assistants who were so excited that they jumped to their feet, they couldn't help but laugh and high-five them to celebrate, "It's successful!" It worked! You guys are amazing! ”

Tang Feifei went home to rest for three days, then returned to the laboratory and continued to work.

Now it is only a preliminary purification, and it is still far from being put into clinical practice.

The Nationalist Government also attached great importance to this experimental work, hired Howard, a pathologist from Oxford University, to participate in the experiment, and hired Tang Feifei as the Minister of Health of the Nationalist Government.

With the participation of the government, the possibility of success of the experiment will increase, Shen Mengxi does not care who participated in the scientific research and who belongs to the final results, she only hopes that the development will be successful as soon as possible for the benefit of mankind.

Dr. Zhou, a 35-year-old gynecology doctor who studied in Japan, is now in the prime of life, she likes the sense of accomplishment brought by the profession of a doctor, and she is not arrogant, and likes to discuss the disease with Shen Mengxi. She once saved a woman with postpartum hemorrhage, who was the daughter-in-law of a Shanghai government official, and since then she has become famous, and the gynecology department of Jimin Hospital has become a talisman for women to get through the ghost gate.

The director of surgery is Qian Jiabin, who was dug up by Shen Mengxi to Jimin Hospital three months ago, and Qiao Liushun was injured and left with sequelae and could not do major surgery, but he was still hired by Shen Mengxi as an outpatient doctor. Luo Adi and several nurses who had worked as field ambulances were also hired by Shen Mengxi to Jimin Hospital.

The hospital is fully on track.

Shen Mengxi went to Beiping again at the invitation of Lin Huiya.

For more than a year, Lin Huiya designed the geological museum and gray building student dormitory for Peking University, and the husband and wife also went deep into Shanxi, Hebei and other places, surveyed a number of ancient buildings on the spot, and published a number of papers and investigation reports such as "On Several Characteristics of Chinese Architecture".

Lin Huiya also wrote a large number of poems and essays, and was hired as a professor in the Department of Foreign Languages of Peking Women's College of Arts and Sciences, and also served as an editorial board member of the "Literary Magazine".

Shen Mengxi looked at the confident and healthy Lin Huiya, thinking of Lu Xiaomei's teeth blackened by the smoke and the posture of the weak willow supporting the wind, she couldn't help laughing, if anyone compared the two of them together, she would be the first to jump out and knock on his skull!

"So happy? The hospital is doing well! This time, Lin Huiya went directly to the train station to pick up Shen Mengxi, and she was not allowed to stay in the hotel again. Shen Mengxi was not hypocritical, and followed her to her family's courtyard.

Jin Yuelong, a magical suitor, actually lives in someone's back room, which is delicious, Liang Chengru is not even annoyed, and he doesn't know if he is used to it, or he is motivated by it.

The two children of the Liang family and Jin Yuelong are very affectionate, sometimes the couple goes out to investigate, and the children are handed over to Jin Yuelong, Shen Mengxi deeply sighed that his realm is still too narrow.

But in the following days, she found out that Jin Yuelong actually went to a brothel, and she opened her mouth for ten seconds before finally closing it. I speculated in my heart that maybe people like them have the function of separating spirit and flesh. It's relieved to think about it,—— otherwise.

Spring in Peking is not beautiful at all, Lin Huiya just wants to take advantage of her free time to ask her to come to a small gathering, and by the way, let her rest for a few days, they communicate occasionally on weekdays, rarely talk on the phone. But when they met, there were still a lot of topics, Shen Mengxi always thought that Lin Huiya would not accept such an upright friend as her, but later figured it out, the more beautiful the more she can't like the same sex who is more sensitive than her.

Ling Su, who was praised by Xu Shizhe as China's Manshu Feier, is now in love with the British poet Julian, and has an extramarital affair, which makes the city full of storms, Jin Yuelong described that person's personality is too similar to Shizhe!

Shen Mengxi smiled, this Ling Su was afraid that he had regrets in his heart, and he took Julian to make psychological compensation.

"Xu Shizhe was indeed ambiguous in the past." Shen Mengxi sighed.

Jin Yuelong looked at Lin Huiya, who was holding Bingbing to change clothes, and whispered, "This ambiguous thing is what men love the most." Because, for you women, confession is to have a sense of security and affective confirmation from now on, but for us men, it is undoubtedly necessary to bind this woman from now on, cut off the way back, and no longer have an ambiguous relationship with other women. ”

After speaking, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

"But you're out of the way back." After Shen Mengxi finished speaking, he didn't know why, but suddenly remembered what Wang Shouqing said, "I only need my wife!" ”

"I had no choice but to hang myself from a tree." Shen Mengxi thought of him going to a prostitute again, and he couldn't be sure of the truth of his words for a while, he only felt that a person's life should not be exposed to emotion, and he devoted himself to it.

"Jiayu, have you found any shortcomings in me again?" Jin Yuelong asked with a smile when he saw her contemplating and pondering.

Shen Mengxi smiled, "No, I found that you are almost a love saint." I want to interview you, when you were in England, why did you actively support Xu Shizhe's divorce, and you obviously love him more than him" Shen Mengxi didn't say his last name, but his eyes swept to the main room.

Jin Yuelong looked at the sunlight outside the window and the branches dancing in the wind, and smiled, "They all say that two women love a man at the same time, the one who loves deeply lets go first, and two men love a woman at the same time, and the one who loves shallow lets go first." Not really. ”

"So you're like a homeless man, supervising Liang Chengru to love his wife well, right?"

"Hahaha!" Jin Yuelong looked up to the sky and laughed.
