Chapter Thirty-Six: Neighbors

When he arrived at Zhang Jiaxuan's house, Shen Mengxi learned that Wang Shouqing was transferred to the Tax Police Corps and served as the head of the regiment, a 35-year-old lieutenant general.

"It's a pity that Shouqing will be stationed in Nanjing in the future!" Zhang Jiaxuan said regretfully while looking at his sister's face.

Shen Mengxi rolled his eyes speechlessly, two elder brothers, one desperately didn't want her to remarry, and the other pimped her remarried.

"It's not too far away, I will often go back to Shanghai, and I will come to ask for a glass of wine."

"Well said, well said! I'm not at home, and Jiayu also has wine to eat! Zhang Jiaxuan's round face had the word treacherous written on it.

Wang Shouqing listened to it and looked at Shen Mengxi with a smile.

Shen Mengxi opened the topic and talked about receiving an invitation from Northeastern University, Zhang Jiaxuan immediately objected, "Isn't the ocean enough?" Isn't the career big enough? The whole family is called by you! I'm going to the Northeast! ”

"I'm not thinking about it, I haven't said yes yet!"

"Definitely don't go! There are repeated military exercises over there, maybe one day there will be a fight, you are a woman's house, how to come back when the time comes, it will be difficult! If you don't believe it, ask Shouqing! ”

Wang Shouqing looked at the brother and sister, "The school is first-class, and there are dangers. The antagonism between the United States and the Soviet Union has directly evolved into a confrontation between the two parties in our country. My personal instinct is that there must be war. ”

Shen Mengxi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Zhang Jiaxuan saw her sister nodding and breathed a sigh of relief.

******

After receiving Zhang Hanqing's face-to-face invitation for the third time, Shen Mengxi agreed to teach at Northeastern University.

Not because of his entanglement of "three visits to the thatched house", but with the turmoil of the domestic situation, she has a firm idea, she wants to find an opportunity to change Zhang Hanqing's mind, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, she has to try, in the end, she will go with the flow in the torrent of history, or will she change the course of history!

This trip is unpredictable, and she plans to go alone. left enough family to let Helen take good care of Ah Huan, and let Huang Shiying move over with her two children. Zhang Jiasen was also placed under house arrest in the Shanghai Garrison Department, and the mother and son lived in the French Concession, which was relatively safe. He also instructed Zhang Jiayu to take care of her sister-in-law and nephews, and she was no longer allowed to only know the wind and snow like before.

Zhao San'er and Hongzhi wanted to go back to the Northeast with her, but Shen Mengxi also refused, only saying that he would come back often and didn't need their care, and told Zhao San'er to help take care of the family, and Hongzhi to study hard.

Poor Ah Huan, his parents went to other places, he held back his tears, but he didn't cry, after all, he was a year older. Shen Mengxi instructed Ah Huan, "You will be an adult soon, in the future, when your mother is not at home, you have to take on more things, and in the future, my manuscript fee will still be sent to my home, and you will be responsible for going to the post office to withdraw the money, and then deposit it in the newly opened women's bank. In addition, you have to take a good look at your mother's study, and the key is not allowed to be given to your uncle, remember? ”

Ah Huan's tears and the sadness of parting were replaced by the mission that pressed on his shoulders, and he nodded nervously. Shen Mengxi smiled and hugged Ah Huan tightly.

Zhang Jiaxuan disagreed with her decision very much, and bluntly said that she would definitely regret it.

"Fourth brother, I have my own plans, and I'll explain to you later. Guanghua has hired two new German teachers, and I'm not a picker. Tohoku University is a first-class university, wouldn't it be good for me to have more experience? In the future, the fourth brother will have to take care of your nephew, please, please! Shen Mengxi gave up his hand again and again.

Zhang Jiaxuan knew that he couldn't convince his increasingly stubborn sister, and he didn't want to be stiff with her like his second brother, so he had to sigh, "Then you have to be more careful, if you can't come back quickly, it's very unstable over there, do you know!" ”

"Yes, yes." Nodding like pecking rice.

Northeastern University has six colleges, 24 departments and 8 specialized courses, with more than 3,000 students.

The school has laboratories, a chemistry hall, a textile hall, a library, an auditorium, and the largest stadium in Asia, and uses modern educational methods and means to inspire students' minds.

The school building is magnificent and magnificent, with a large number of famous people and good teachers, abundant funds and advanced equipment, and it is a well-deserved first-class university in China at this time.

Zhang Hanqing gave Shen Mengxi a very generous salary, a monthly salary of 600 oceans, as well as a number of travel and accommodation subsidies, and the assigned dormitory was a townhouse, with two floors on the ground and one floor underground, with water and water, which was very convenient.

Shen Mengxi muttered secretly, saying that Zhang Dashuai was the richest among the warlords, and it was true! The rich second generation will spend money, and it is not false at all. With a wave of his hand, Zhang Hanqing invested 700,000 yuan in automobile manufacturing, and with a wave of his hand, he donated 1.8 million yuan for the expansion of school buildings, the recruitment of scholars, the purchase of equipment, and the sponsorship of students going abroad.

Compared with the rows of bungalows in the back, this small villa is considered a first-class residence in the family area, with 12 households in four buildings, except for two empty, the rest are occupied by celebrities in the academic world.

Living here, there is really no white ding, and there is a lot of talk and laughter. Next door is Lin Huiya and his wife, Shen Mengxi slandered in his heart, wouldn't Zhang Hanqing know about her awkward relationship with Lin Huiya?

On the day of moving in, Lin Huiya and his wife brought their one-year-old daughter to congratulate her, Liang Chengru is currently the head of the Department of Architecture, Lin Huiya is a professor, and there are two maids at home to help take the children to cook.

The three of them chatted for a while, and they proposed to take Shen Mengxi to visit the rest of the houses, and Shen Mengxi hurriedly responded.

A professor Zhang Xingyan, the dean of the Faculty of Arts, has always opposed vernacular literature and Europeanization, and when he learned that Shen Mengxi was the author of the translation of "Sherlock Holmes" in vernacular, his expression was immediately serious, and his displeasure was overflowing.

Shen Mengxi was a little embarrassed, but he didn't care too much, and said in his heart, if you want me to use classical Chinese, I have to be able to write it!

Then I went to a few more houses, some with their wives and dependents, with servants, some were as lonely as Shen Mengxi, some were kind and enthusiastic, some were mavericks, and there were three scholars from Britain, France and the United States.

All turned down, Lin Huiya was a little tired, Shen Mengxi was grateful for Lin Huiya's thoughtfulness, and when she went back, she held her daughter Nian Bing for her, the little girl sniffed her hair, and said coquettishly: "Fragrant!" ”

"The little nose is smart enough!" Shen Mengxi pinched her nose and said.

Lin Huiya stopped, coughed for a while, her face flushed, and Liang Chengru gently stroked her back.

"Mrs. Liang, I know a little bit about medical science, you are tuberculosis, you must be treated in time without delay, it is recommended to use Western medicine with quick effect!"

"Yes, I'm using it, it's just that my body is too weak. Miss Zhang, I'm really sorry, it's my negligence, I should keep my distance from you, if I infect you, it's really my sin! Lin Huiya's flush became even more obvious.

"You misunderstood, I am very grateful for your kindness. If I can bring it up directly, it means that I don't mind, and I am really giving you advice. "In the past ten years, Shen Mengxi has never learned to speak in a roundabout way, and when he encounters an emergency, he is even more straightforward.

Liang Chengru sincerely thanked: "I have heard for a long time that Lingzun is a famous doctor in Baoshan, I think you also have the heart of a doctor, Huiya did not understand your kindness for a while, I hope don't mind." “

"No, it won't." Shen Mengxi smiled, "Don't mind my directness, if you are offended, please forgive me." Thank you very much for your help today, if you trust, I can provide some medicine for Mrs. Liang, but the cycle of taking medicine is a bit long. You two can go back and think about it. Walking to his door, Shen Mengxi returned the child to Lin Huiya.

"Okay, okay!" Liang Chengru said yes in a loud voice.

The villa is about 160 square meters upstairs and downstairs, and downstairs is a large living room, kitchen and dining room, as well as a small bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a study and a bathroom.

The bedroom was carpeted, an iron shelf bed, a large wardrobe, and a dresser with a round mirror.

The study has a desk, chair and a large bookshelf.

The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans.

Such a big house, living alone is really space.

Shen Mengxi went to the street for a walk, bought some daily necessities, and arranged the bedroom slightly, even if he settled down.

One of the advantages of living alone is that she can take out some things in the Wuling space relatively freely, such as comfortable bed sheets and bedding, such as cosmetics, and using the computer to write articles.

She once cooked a pack of instant noodles, put half a sausage made by Helen in it, and put a braised egg, the aroma of food wafted out of the house, causing the child next door to run over with a sniff, and the nanny behind hurriedly came to catch it, Shen Mengxi took out four sausages made by Helen, put them on a plate and handed them to the nanny, "Chop up the porridge and give it to Bingbing to eat, the child should eat some meat appropriately." It's homemade and very hygienic. ”

The nanny bowed down and thanked her, pulling Bingbing away, and the little girl sniffed the fragrance in the air and turned back step by step.

Shen Mengxi brought the noodles to the study, locked the door, snickered, and found a movie stored in the computer, and watched it while eating, which was called a pleasure.

School started, students were back on campus, and the whole campus came alive. There are young people full of vitality, even if they are just walking, the wind they bring can make people feel that the air is full of life, and when they laugh, it makes people feel that there is sunshine everywhere.

These children are the future and hope of the motherland, and they will all be the pillars of the country.

Shen Mengxi teaches German in the Department of Spanish at the School of Foreign Languages, and is also in charge of English for two girls' classes.

Although it is co-educational, there are still no mixed classes, 25 girls in one class, a total of two classes.

The girls, who have spent a semester, are very familiar with the school, and they have a lively discussion together about which boy plays basketball well, which boy has a more authentic London accent, and of course the most talked about is the young and promising of the principal, and the car, in short, they are all beautiful words. Shen Mengxi listened but smiled silently, girls always have to go through such a stage. Mu Qiang, who admires a man with money and status, or likes a man with power, and then beautifies this person, describing him as an ideal person in his heart, deeply in love with this person he made up, and can't extricate himself.

However, when it comes to Shen Mengxi's sake, he has seen everything through, and it is not good. She has been numb, she doesn't know what can move her, and she can't even find a reason to love, she really lives up to the good years of being reborn.

Therefore, looking at the budding appearance of these girls' spring hearts, she was actually a little moved.

Then when she saw their results, she turned into a trace of regret.

Thirty of the fifty people didn't work very hard, they came to gild, get a graduation certificate, go back to find a good mother-in-law, and complete the task.

The remaining 20, half of them are talented and intelligent, and they don't have to work hard to get a good report card, and there are less than ten of them, who are hard-working, most of them have a general background, but there are enlightened parents who are willing to pay a lot of money for their daughters to study, and most of these girls are from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

Shen Mengxi didn't want to change them, everyone had their own ambitions and couldn't force them.
