This morning, Zhao San'er ran very energetically, Zhang Fu made two sets of spring clothes for everyone in the family, and also brought him, and specially bought him a hat and a new pair of shoes.

Zhao San'er has gained some weight in the past few years, and she has grown a little taller. He was very satisfied with pulling a car in Zhang's house, Miss Zhang was kind, gave him money, let him eat, and the people who lived together envied him and had a good master's family.

The car passed by the small vegetable market and stopped in front of the flower shop, Shen Mengxi got out of the car and bought a bouquet of carnations, ready to put them in the office.

The rickshaw turned around the corner, and suddenly heard a crisp sound of "pop", the crowd exploded, the woman screamed and cried, Zhao San'er was alert, turned around and pulled the rickshaw to the street store, escorted Shen Mengxi to get out of the car, and hid in the store.

There was only one person left in the street, a middle-aged man in a blood-stained robe who had been shot in the abdomen, stumbling over as if trying to hide, with a leather bag in his hand and no weapon.

Shen Mengxi saw a man in a top hat from the window, raised a pistol, she subconsciously sighed, "pop" was another gunshot, the man shot in the heart, raised his head suddenly, it was a clear face, he glanced at the sky, fell down on the road, stirred up a piece of dust, convulsed in pain for dozens of seconds, and then there was no movement.

The shooter calmly watched from a distance as the man was completely out of breath before quietly leaving.

There was a pool of blood under the man, and part of it was absorbed by the dust, until the police came with a whistle, and no one dared to come forward to look at it, but they all watched from afar under the eaves of the roadside, either indifferently or with each other's ears.

Shen Mengxi's hands were cold, and a bouquet of flowers had been rubbed. Zhao San'er asked, "Miss Zhang, shall we go home or go to school?" ”

"Go to school." The body had been dragged away over there, and there was a dark red mark on the ground, Shen Mengxi didn't continue to look at it, and hurriedly got into the rickshaw.

A card has been set up at the street entrance for interrogation, Shen Mengxi took out his work permit and was released.

Shen Mengxi's face sank like water, this was the first time she really realized that she was living in a troubled world, and human life was like a mustard.

The pride of the vast land and wealth has become the bait for being carved up by the foreign powers, and the people's patience, obedience and peace-loving have become the reason for being oppressed. The incompetence of the government has become the source of the country's disaster.

It is a big country full of holes, and it is no longer possible to wake up the people by calling out loud. Internal and external troubles, Shen Mengxi felt powerless and watched the building collapse. In her column, she called on ordinary people to support domestic products, support the development of national industry, strengthen physical exercise, and strengthen patriotic education. However, it is clear that it is the sci-fi love content that attracts readers more, and people are still living a comfortable life in Shanghai.

In the previous two lives, Shen Mengxi lived in a peaceful era, only saw on the TV news that some countries were suffering from war, gunsmoke was everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living, those sufferings were extremely far away from her, but she was sympathetic from afar, and was pleased that her country was getting stronger and stronger, and now she returned to the weakest and most tragic era of the country, at first she was numb in the singing and dancing of the illusory Shanghai, until this middle-aged man who fell in a pool of blood reminded her of the real reality.

The Zhang family has a large amount of grain in Baoshan, which is a good habit of the Chinese people, listening to Zhang Jiaxuan's meaning, Zhang's father also hides some weapons, but I don't know how many people can use them skillfully.

Shen Mengxi and Zhang Jiaxuan had a long talk about the domestic situation several times and made several sets of plans, and Shen Mengxi was a little relieved.

******

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Mengxi took the zongzi he wrapped and came to Mrs. Lin's villa. When I met Lin Yuesheng and his four ladies, he came to celebrate the festival with Mrs. Lin, this was the first time Shen Mengxi had seen this famous gang leader. I saw that he was of medium height, his appearance was not good, but his bearing was extraordinary. The middle of the person is a little longer, and there are some attractive ears, but the four ladies, each dignified and beautiful, just looking at the appearance, really has a feeling of a bouquet of flowers inserted in cow dung.

Lin Yuesheng recognized Shen Mengxi without introduction, and arched his hand: "Look up for a long time." Professor Zhang's care for his mother, Lin sincerely thanks him here! ”

"You're welcome, don't talk about taking care of me, Mrs. Lin and I can be regarded as old friends, she taught me a lot of life principles." Shen Mengxi also bowed slightly.

"There are few female professors in Shanghai, Professor Zhang does not dislike us Bai Ding, it is the honor of my mother and Lin."

"Where, there are many talents in Shanghai, and I was lucky to come back at the right time, and I just got a bargain. People who can be learned may not necessarily be able to be people, and Mr. Lin's fame shows that the old lady is well educated. I often come and go, just under the pretense of stealing the teacher. ”

Lin Yuesheng laughed when he heard this. Old Madam Lin coughed reservedly and beckoned, "Bring it quickly, I'll see what kind of stuffed zongzi is, why is it so late!" ”

"I'm sorry Lafayette, Jiayu has made amends for you!" Shen Mengxi hurriedly served the zongzi and apologized one after another.

Several people laughed, and Lin Yuesheng introduced several ladies to Shen Mengxi, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while. Shen Mengxi found that Lin Yuesheng's ladies were all dignified and magnificent, and none of them were charming, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, "All of them are the looks of the ladies of the house." ”

The stepson was able to bring a few daughters-in-law to celebrate the festival, and Mrs. Lin was in a happy mood, her eyebrows stretched, and she was very satisfied, and she didn't feel that she had eaten a lot of zongzi.

Shen Mengxi pointed to the zongzi and said: "Don't dislike it, everyone can try my zongzi, there are meat zongzi, jujube zongzi, egg yolk brown, and a few small zongzi wrapped in gummies, take it back to make fun of the children at home."

The eldest lady Shen Yueying said on the side: "Alas, with Miss Zhang's zongzi, what we brought will probably be cheaper than Ah Bian and Ah Yuan's two minions!" ”

"I love to eat this sweet glutinous, keep it for me, don't give it to those rabbit cubs!" After speaking, he looked at Shen Mengxi's eyes, "Ah, I know, I don't digest it!" Isn't it okay to eat less? ”

Everyone laughed again, tasted a few zongzi, and praised them one after another. Before leaving, Mrs. Lin gave her some colorful ropes, saying that she must tie them to "My Ah Huan", and then take them off and throw them into the ditch when it rains.

******

Soon, Lin Yuesheng became the director of the Public Board of Directors, which was the highest position of the Chinese in the French Concession, black and white, and was in the limelight for a while. Immediately afterwards, he founded Zhonghui Bank, officially set foot in Shanghai's financial industry, and had more or less contact with Zhang Jiaguang.

Later, when Shen Mengxi proposed to Lin Yuesheng to buy guns and ammunition through him, he was very surprised, "Is this what Brother Ling meant?" ”

"It's me. After all, I am alone, my father and brother have their own families, and I have to rely on myself. ”

"In troubled times, it is indeed difficult for a single woman, hasn't Miss Zhang thought about finding someone to rely on?"

"Heh, if you have a fate, you will stand side by side, and if you have no fate, you are not afraid to face the wind and rain alone."

Lin Yuesheng was stunned for two seconds, and then nodded approvingly, "My family Guiying also has this temper, and she doesn't lose to men." ”

"Mr. Lin won the award, but there is no way." Shen Mengxi smiled faintly, "Did Mr. Lin agree?" ”

"It's not that hard. I have time to find Guiying, she likes to ride a horse and shoot a gun, you can learn from each other. ”

"Oh! That's great! Shen Mengxi high-fived happily.

Five Mauser guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition were secretly moved to Shen Mengxi's warehouse in the suburbs, Shen Mengxi paid with the ocean, and after Lin Yuesheng accepted it, he generously gave ten Russian cast iron grenades. Shen Mengxi secretly sighed, it was really a gangster boss who did not lose face, affection, and scenes.

******

Shen Mengxi spent 5,000 oceans on Jing'an Temple Road and Yuyuan Road to buy a piece of land of less than four acres.

Also bought some penicillin through Daniel. In the blink of an eye, the cash on hand was spent.

Daniel seems to have developed some affection since the help of CPR, and when he speaks, his face will suddenly turn red. - You see, the males in this world are so unbearable to tease that just unbuttoning a shirt makes an old-fashioned and honest German become springy.

Miss Cao, the nurse in the dental clinic, dislikes Shen Mengxi very much, every time she comes, she doesn't dare to say anything more, but she always pulls down the face of the late lady and makes the instruments clang.

"Why does Miss Zhang have so much penicillin?" Daniel sent Miss Cao out and asked in a low voice.

"There's a saying in China that strange goods can live, you know? China does not produce this drug, of course I have to save some in advance, and I can sell it at a high price later! Shen Mengxi also lowered his voice.

"Oh, then I can help you find some more." Daniel said sincerely.

"Really? That's great! Thank you Daniel, you are such a nice person. ”

"No, I'm not always a good person." Daniel said seriously.

Shen Mengxi smiled, didn't know how to understand this sentence, and shrugged, "I'll ask Helen to send you more sausages, which flavor do you want?" And sour cabbage, do you want it? ”

"Oh God! I can't wait! Daniel shouted.

There was a sound of soaring footsteps outside the door, Miss Cao slammed the door in, saw the two people sitting upright and chatting in the clinic, stopped awkwardly, pretended to take something, and went out in a daze.

Shen Mengxi smiled and said, "Daniel, Miss Cao seems to care about you very much. ”

"I know. I'm going to fire her. ”

"What?"

"Fire her. Hire another person. ”

"Because she likes you?"

"Yes."

"What kind of logic is this?"

"What?"

Shen Mengxi asked again in German.

Daniel also replied in German: "There is a clear distinction between public and private. ”

In Shen Mengxi's experience, many bosses don't mind that employees admire him, and even are happy to see it, most women will work hard for their loved ones, and treat the boss's career as their own. This Daniel is clearly different.

Daniel's Chinese skills are really limited, and they have been chatting in German for the rest of the conversation.

After a while, a chubby old man came to the clinic to see his teeth, and Shen Mengxi said goodbye.

Before leaving, she received a resentful gaze from Miss Cao, and was stunned for a second, and then understood.

The next day, Zhao San'er and Hongzhi went to deliver sausages and came back, telling Shen Mengxi that the clinic had changed to an older nurse.

Shen Mengxi smiled and did not express an opinion.
