Shen Mengxi said to Lao Fan, "Master Fan, I didn't come to Beiping for anything else, I just came to eat the noodles you made!" Lao Fan smiled with a wrinkled face, and said repeatedly, "Then dare to be affectionate, I'll meet each other, you wait a while, you'll have it in a while!" ”

Jin Yuelong smiled and watched her fight with the chef, "If it weren't for the two children of the Liang family who couldn't live without Lao Fan, I would let you take Lao Fan back to Shanghai." ”

"You don't have to, it's enough to eat once a year." Shen Mengxi waved his hand again and again to refuse. Eat it every day, and I don't cherish the dragon liver and phoenix marrow anymore. Besides, it's not that the two children can't do without Lao Fan's craftsmanship, I'm afraid it's the child's mother, so it can't win people's love.

On Saturday, a group of friends came to the living room of the Liang family, as usual, who talked about the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Kant of the Great Manchurian Empire, and commented on the suicide of the Japanese member Ita Sukeo, who used a military vehicle to transport 100,000 rounds of ammunition to the guerrillas.

In fact, the Japanese G Party was founded in 1922 and is the oldest political party in Japan. Jin Yuelong said slowly, "The letter said, 'I am surrounded by wild beasts and cornered, I decided to commit suicide, I will give you 100,000 rounds of ammunition I shipped to your army, please aim at the Japanese army and shoot, I wish the sacred cause early success!'" ”

Everyone sighed, Shen Mengxi had never heard of this, she listened silently.

After changing to a new tea, they discussed the eugenics law implemented in Germany. Germany began to enforce sterilization for patients with genetic diseases this year, which reminded Shen Mengxi of Frank's mother, the countess who was very emotionally out of control, but she should have passed the childbearing age earlier, and she did not need to be sterilized if she was sick or not.

After Helen returned to Germany, she wrote a letter to Shen Mengxi, regretting that she could not say goodbye in person, she returned to Germany, and with the help of Frank, she found a job. At the end of the letter, she asked Xiaoyu to forgive her, she was afraid of war, and fled back to Germany at the most critical moment for Xiaoyu's country, and she would always pray for Xiaoyu and pray for China.

Frank contacted Shen Mengxi because of this, he was very excited, and the letter expressed the joy of finding Shen Mengxi again, he told how hard he was looking for her, thinking about her, and telling that he had never forgotten her. Included in the letter was a photograph of Frank as an adult, handsome in a military uniform.

In the living room of the Liang family, Shen Mengxi still listened more and talked less, and still secretly recorded, she sighed quietly in her heart, no one knew what she had participated in and what she had known.

After living in Beiping for four days, I received a call from Xu's father, and Xu's mother was critically ill.

Shen Mengxi and Ah Huan rushed back to Shanghai at the same time.

Mother Xu is sick and weak, and she has experienced the pain of losing her child, and she has already run out of oil, if it weren't for Zhang's father to recuperate for her from time to time, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to wait for Ah Huan to go to college.

Shen Mengxi rushed to Xu's house, Ah Huan was already sitting on the edge of his grandmother's bed, the old man looked at Ah Huan with good eyes, and smiled kindly and nostalgically, Ah Huan was still smiling strongly, holding her grandmother's hand and comforting her. When I saw my mother come back, tears poured down my eyes, my voice was choked in my throat, and I couldn't say a word.

Xu's mother is Xu's father's stepfamily, not the original match. After Xu Shizhe was born, Xu Shizhe's grandmother was basically taking him, spoiling him very much, and he responded to his requests. Xu's mother almost didn't get the opportunity to get close to her son, when Xu Shizhe was a little older, her grandmother died, and Xu Shizhe went out to study again, until the plane crashed, and the time she and her son were really together was not five years.

Mother Xu fumbled and handed a jade bracelet to Shen Mengxi, and Father Xu whispered beside him, "Your mother and I have only recognized you for the rest of our lives, and only you are our daughter-in-law." Shizhe is not good to you, and he has also been punished by God! We know that you have always blamed us, we did not educate Shizhe well, he was spoiled by his grandmother, alas, we can't control it. ”

Shen Mengxi heard these words, and his heart was sad. Father Xu is a short-tempered and unsympathetic person, Shen Mengxi has never heard him talk to anyone in a low voice, he should have realized that he had no one to rely on, so he had to bow his head. Husband and wife for a lifetime, why do they say that the one who leaves first is blessed, it is really like this, when you are alive, you have a companion who has been with you for many years, and when you die, you have an old wife to take care of the aftermath, live freely, and die easily.

There are a few people who have never been old, and how many people really understand this truth.

Shen Mengxi looked at Mother Xu, she understood that over the years, she had almost no contact with the Xu family, which made the two old men have the idea that she had been complaining about them, and she also felt a little remorseful in her heart.

"Uncle and aunt, I have never complained about you, I have been divorced from Shizhe for more than ten years, I don't know in what capacity I get along with you, but Ah Huan will always be your grandson, I can't call you father and mother, but if there is anything in the future, just take me as a daughter. Over the years, I have been busy with my own affairs, and I have indeed neglected the mood of the second elder, which is not good for me. ”

Muddy tears flowed from the corners of Xu's mother's eyes, and Xu's father lamented, "If Shizhe doesn't make mistakes, what a good family we are!" ”

Father Xu didn't like Lu Xiaomei and never allowed her to come to the door. Later, he liked Ling Su quite much, and begged Ling Su to inscribe a monument for his son, recently saw the news of Ling Su's extramarital affair, and was so angry that he blew his beard, and told Zhang's father, "Except for your family Jiayu, there is no good woman, my family Shizhe is a fool!" ”

Mother Xu is a devout Buddhist, still holding Buddhist beads in her hand during her illness, Shen Mengxi knew that she must be in pain, so she sat on the edge of her bed, hummed the "Heart Sutra" softly for her over and over again, the old man listened to the "Heart Sutra", held his grandson's hand, and slowly fell asleep.

On the third day, Xu's mother passed away quietly in her sleep. Ah Huan is very sad, Mother Xu is the person who loves him in the world, and she probably gave her love for her son to her grandson at the same time.

Father Xu was sluggish, a gust of wind blew in from the window, a lock of white hair of Father Xu floated up, and he looked very sloppy, this old man has a huge amount of wealth, but his relatives are shallow, lonely, Shen Mengxi looked at him bent down, sighed, and could only help with the funeral.

She consulted Father Zhang and Mrs. Lin, worshiped Father Xu as her father-in-law, and as a daughter, she had full authority to handle the funeral for Mother Xu.

Father Xu was in tears.

For a while, there were different opinions, some said that she was deeply affectionate, and some said that she had no more feelings, and Shen Mengxi didn't care about these statements.

Many of Xu Shizhe's friends came to the funeral, Lu Xiaomei heard that Xu's mother had died, and rushed to worship, Shen Mengxi and A Huan knelt in the mourning hall to return the salute to the people who came to worship, only to see Lu Xiaomei wearing a black cheongsam, full of mourning, walked in step by step, knelt on the futon in front of the mourning hall, and had not kowtowed, Xu's father came from behind, scolded loudly, commanded the servant, and blasted Lu Xiaomei out, Lu Xiaomei was ashamed, crying unconscious, and was carried into the car by the servant who followed.

Subsequently, Xu's mother was buried in her hometown of Kipshi.

There was a big event in Shanghai this year, and that was the election of pop stars.

The supplement of the "Big Evening News" planned an activity of "contesting the three major broadcasting singers", just like the supergirl competition, starting from May 2, in the column "Today's Wonderful Broadcast Program", predicting which radio station a certain singer of each broadcasting group will broadcast and the name of the song to be played, so that the audience can listen selectively. The audience thinks which singer sings well, so they cut out the ballot in the newspaper of the day, write a letter to vote, and the election lasts for a total of 18 days, there is no preliminaries, only the total number of votes is counted, and the one with the highest vote is the champion.

Shen Mengxi also voted for Zhou Xuan with great interest.

But in the final result, Zhou Xuan only won the second place with 8894 votes, and the first place was a fifteen-year-old singer named Bai Hong, with 9103 votes. At the age of fifteen, it has been three years since his debut, and at this time, Zhou Xuan is only 14 years old.

Voting is only because she has heard of Zhou Xuan, Shen Mengxi generally does not listen to songs or watch movies, occasionally she will lock the door, put on headphones, and listen to the songs she once liked.

Shen Mengxi's family also has a "big event", Ah Qing resigned and got married.

Ah Qing is in her twenties, and she delayed getting married in order to support her family. This time, it was introduced by relatives to meet a widowed merchant who ran a grocery store, and within two months, the two got married.

Ah Qing was not reluctant at all, on the contrary, he was quite satisfied, the man was less than thirty years old, there was only one daughter in the family, and the family was not bad, at least she didn't need to come out to work again.

Zhao San'er was so sad that she didn't eat and sleep well for a week, and she dug the open space in the backyard fiercely, regardless of whether it was in season or not, and planted a lot of vegetables.

After another three days, Zhao San'er also came to resign, he said that he went to find Wang Shouqing and signed up to join the army.

Looking at the back of Zhao San'er leaving, Shen Mengxi rubbed Rhubarb's head, "Rhubarb, you said, people live so long, how many partings do they have to face." ”

Ma Chen hugged Ah Xing and stood behind Shen Mengxi, "Miss Zhang, Ah Xing and I don't leave, you are the best for our mother, let's not go." ”

Ma Chen is responsible for washing the family's clothes, cleaning, food and shelter, Shen Mengxi gives her ten oceans every month, and she saves them all. Ah Xing is four years old, with big eyes, a round face, not a small size, and a good body, but he likes to run all over the yard, and he is a little wild.

Ah Huan and Hongzhi taught her to count and memorize poems, and she learned quite quickly.

Shen Mengxi had already told Ma Chen that he would not raise their mother and daughter in vain, but he would not use her to work in vain, if her family came to find her, she could leave at any time, if she didn't leave, as long as she worked hard and didn't make mistakes, she could keep doing it.

Ma Chen smiled flatteringly and said, "Miss Zhang, without you, we wouldn't have known where to be reincarnated." As soon as there were many words, the northeast accent came out again.

Sister-in-law Lin returned to Shanghai from Baoshan Garment Factory, and her son Zheng Wen, with the help of Shen Mengxi, has been studying in the UK for more than two years, and her daughter is also married. Although Sister-in-law Lin did a good job in the garment factory, when she heard that Ah Qing was gone, she immediately returned to Shanghai with her wife Zheng Dashan, and asked to stay and serve Miss Seven for the rest of her life. Shen Mengxi knew that she wanted to repay herself because of her son. also agreed to let her be in charge of the kitchen, and Zheng Dashan took over Zhao San'er's work.

Over the years, the work of Baoshan Garment Factory has been in charge of Zhang Zhongshan, this nephew has been doing a good job, and they have also undertaken the production of school uniforms for some universities and middle schools.

Shen Mengxi didn't need Sister-in-law Lin to supervise secretly. discussed it with Zhang Zhongshan, and simply let him join the shares, and the business was basically handed over to him to be responsible.

Shen Mengxi spent most of his time in Jimin Hospital. Moreover, she secretly had to manage the financial work for Zhang Jiasen, yes, Zhang Jiasen secretly established the National Socialist Party, he did not tell Zhang Jiaxuan, but handed over the financial work to his sister with great trust.
