Chapter Sixty-Eight: An Unprecedented Funeral
Lin Yuesheng smiled angrily, pointed at Shen Mengxi again and again, and said, "Your courage is really big!" ”
Shen Mengxi gave up his hands and told him again and again, "The so-called gentleman deceived him, I knew that there were a lot of two adults, so they dared to be so presumptuous." Why don't I tell you another story? ”
The three of them left the western restaurant together, took Shen Mengxi's car, and sent Zhang Hanqing back to the hotel.
Shen Mengxi drove, while telling a story, there is a zoo did an experiment, a lion cub and puppy together to raise up, they are very friendly, the lion has only seen the dog, the dog has only seen the lion, they think that the other party is their brother, and they are the other party's appearance, one day, the zoo put a black bear into it, the black bear came in and robbed the lion's meat, the lion whimpered twice, ran to the dog's side to complain, the dog jumped over by rubbing the ground, pounced on it and bit the black bear, the black bear did not show weakness, He waved his hand and slapped the dog, and the dog was very brave, jumping and moving, and in a few rounds he bit the black bear away, and the dog came back victorious, and the lion licked the dog's hair very dogged, with a look of adoration. But the dog holds its head high, and it cannot be beaten. You say, what does this story mean? ”
"People who have been teachers are not good at this, they treat others as students whenever and wherever they are, and they have to ask questions." Lin Yuesheng muttered dissatisfied.
Shen Mengxi was not angry, "People sometimes make this mistake, thinking that the other party is the same person as themselves, but in fact, some people overestimate themselves, and some people underestimate themselves."
More often, I am a passionate person, I feel that the people I meet will fall in love with me, and I am a righteous and upright person, so I think that the people around me and the people in the world are as trustworthy as themselves. In fact, many people will be like me, thinking that you will not be angry, so you will do some presumptuous things, or even rude and untrustworthy things, if it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"Sister's story is so unreasonable, the lion and the dog are locked together, how can you not eat the dog, you are not when we are primary school students, it is your little luck!" Lin Yuesheng waved his hand.
Shen Mengxi didn't defend himself, looked at Zhang Hanqing, who was silently and deep in thought, and continued to drive.
This year, Zhang Jiarui got married.
The husband's family is a shareholder of Zhang Jiaguang's commercial bank in the past, and the husband is the youngest son in the family. The Lu family learned that Zhang Jiarui graduated from an art college, could paint, design clothes, and was also in charge of design in Yunshang, so they were satisfied with seven points first, and Lu Dingqin was very satisfied when he saw Zhang Jiarui.
Zhang's father was a little disgusted, saying that it would be better if it was a scholarly family, what he had been haunting for many years was that since Xu Shizhe divorced his eldest daughter, the sons-in-law behind him were all untalented, "I don't even have a decent son-in-law!" He often sighed during evening drinks.
Aunt Huang likes it very much, the Lu family has a big business, the son-in-law is the youngest son in the family, there is no burden, and the youngest daughter is the main house, definitely not the aunt's wife, which makes her unexpectedly satisfied. happily persuaded the youngest daughter to get married quickly, and there would be no such shop in this village after that. Zhang Jiarui seems to be completely dead, struggled a few times, and still got married.
Shen Mengxi sent the same ocean and gifts as the other two sisters, and when he saw Lu Dingqin, he was really a dignified young man, although he looked a little immature, but after all, he was still young and had no experience.
When the Lu family came to pick up the kiss, Aunt Huang couldn't help but shed tears, and Zhang Jiarui also cried and hugged Aunt Huang, not knowing what to say. In the end, she and the groom bid farewell to Zhang's father, Aunt Huang.
Zhang Jiarui was wearing a white wedding dress designed by herself, which was beautiful, and the groom smiled from ear to ear, and secretly glanced at his bride several times. Everyone laughed and laughed and laughed good-naturedly, but he didn't care.
Zhang Jiarui didn't have any expression, she was cold all the time, and she didn't look at Shen Mengxi, as if she had done something that was extremely sorry for herself.
Shen Mengxi tilted his head and laughed, Sheng Mi En fought Mi Qiu, what she wanted, you didn't give it one thing you wanted, this is the result.
Turning his head to see that Zhang's father's eyes were moist, he sat there to accept the bow of his youngest daughter and son-in-law, gave a few words of instruction, and said words of blessing, and let them go out.
suddenly felt bored, teased Zhang Jiali's son a few times, and went home.
When she returned to the door three days ago, Aunt Huang wanted to entertain her little son-in-law in Shen Mengxi's villa, and grinded Zhang's father to talk to Shen Mengxi.
Father Zhang refused, "My brain is broken!" ”
In the end, Zhang's father paid for Zhang Jiaheng to book the Tongfu Hotel and sat at a full eight tables.
Zhang Jiarui and Lu Dingqin were full of joy, especially Zhang Jiarui's peachy face was very delicate, Aunt Huang smiled from ear to ear, and pulled her son-in-law to praise her son upside down, only a few points closer than her own son. Her daughter-in-law sat down at the other table, squinted and sneered, and turned her head away.
After returning to the door to drink and eat, Shen Mengxi saw Aunt Huang dragging her daughter's hand to go home, and saw Zhang Jiaxuan preparing a car, so she left first. Who knew that Zhang Jiarui stopped her, "Seventh sister! ”
Shen Mengxi smiled and turned around, and nodded at Lu Dingqin.
Zhang Jiarui took her hand and walked towards the car, "Seventh sister, I was bad before, but I didn't understand your hard work until now, you are all for my good." He choked up as he spoke.
Shen Mengxi looked at Zhang Jiarui for a while, and didn't understand what changed her mind in just two days.
"Naturally, I want you to be good. Live a good life, I'm not a talkative person. ”
Zhang Jiarui stomped her feet happily, happily sent Shen Mengxi to the car, and waved her hand.
In October, Mr. Zhou, 55, died of illness.
On the day of the funeral, celebrities and important people from all walks of life in Shanghai came to see him off, and some even came from thousands of miles away to pay homage to Mr. Zhou's remains and see him off for the last time.
There are as many as 16 people who carry the coffin and help the soul, many of them are already famous writers, and there are many people and students, spontaneously and automatically form a team, gather from all over the cemetery, and bury the flag embroidered with the "soul of the nation" on the coffin, such a large-scale funeral is rare in Shanghai and China.
Out of admiration, Shen Mengxi also went to the funeral, and Mr. Zhou was buried in the Universal Cemetery, which covers an area of more than 50 square meters, simple and solemn.
In his 1919 essay "How We Are Fathers Now", Mr. Zhou did not talk about his remarks about attacking patriarchy, but his opposition to polygamy alone made Shen Mengxi appreciate. Polygamy, for men, is a welfare, and no one can refute it under the banner of inheritance. But he thinks that polygamy depraves a man, and that depravity degrades a man. The queen only exterminates himself, and the degraded state will destroy others. And he himself can be regarded as resisting polygamy, the first wife, because it was set by his mother, he can't resign, but he has never been involved, and the second wife is his student, the two have similar interests and have a deep love for flounder.
A philosopher once said that there are two births in a person's life, one is birth and the other is the awakening of the soul.
Mr. Zhou has devoted his life to awakening the people, many people who live in confusion in the chaos, do not know the meaning of their own existence, do not know what kind of person they can become, and are stupid and just eat and drink again and again, and are on the precipice without knowing it.
Shen Mengxi was about forty years old and began to enjoy solitude, recognizing that loneliness is the norm in life. She always thought that it should be a kind of belated soul awakening. It is precisely because of this realization that she has been able to laugh with everyone when there are many people and laugh by herself when there are no people for so many years.
