Shen Mengxi always knew that Ah Huan was very smart, he memorized poems, counted Sudoku, and solved 24 very quickly, but he didn't expect to memorize the lyrics and music scores after listening to it three times.

Early childhood is the period when mechanical memory is the strongest, Ah Huan is eight years old, and it is time to teach well.

Shen Mengxi's memories of Ah Huan were all before he was two years old. He can only walk in 14 months, but he has already spoken a lot in 18 months, and when Zhang Jiayu went to Europe, he cried for a long time with his child in his arms, and he missed his son very much on the cruise.

But Shen Mengxi had no feelings for him, and in his five years in Europe, he almost never missed this child, just mailed him some gifts, and pretended to miss him in the letter.

By the time he returned to China, Ah Huan was already a big child, and he didn't even look like he remembered it.

But Ah Huan is easy to make people feel good, is a pure and kind child, and has a gentle personality. He has a natural attachment to his parents, and I am afraid that in his small heart, he desperately wants his parents to be together every day. But every time he saw Xu Shizhe, it was a double torture of joy and pain for him.

"Ah Huan is so smart and has an amazing memory! Let's learn more in the future! ”

"Okay!" Ah Huan is very interested in things that he has not learned, but he doesn't like to review them repeatedly. His mother said that if he learned more, he would teach him something new, so he was very willing.

Xu Shizhe walked over with Lu Xiaomei. Ah Huan ran over happily when he saw him, Xu Shizhe hugged him, and said with a smile: "It's so heavy, Ah Huan has grown up!" ”

"Mom said you still love me! Is that right? Ah Huan couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, of course my father loves you!" Xu Shizhe touched Ah Huan's soft hair and said that at this moment, he was sincere.

Ah Huan was very satisfied and kept holding Xu Shizhe's hand. Someone next to him read it and discussed: "I've never heard that song, it should be Xu Shizhe's new poem." ”

Xu Shizhe waved his hand in embarrassment and explained.

turned around and wanted to ask Shen Mengxi, but she took Ah Huan to Wilson's table.

Xu Shizhe took Lu Xiaomei's hand and went to the other seats.

Lu Xiaomei is worthy of being a master of communication, she adjusted her emotions and immediately became the focus of the room, with decent conversation, elegant demeanor, profound knowledge, and beautiful face, all attracting everyone's attention. She warmly congratulated the newlyweds and skillfully chatted with Wilson and Bourgeva in English and French.

Ah Huan was a little annoyed that she followed her father. Shen Mengxi whispered, "What's wrong with you?" Didn't I tell you that now they are a family? ”

"But!"

"No, that's the reality. Besides, you are his son, and I have nothing to do with him anymore. You must always keep in mind: no matter what you do in the future, as long as it is related to your father, you must first consider your mother's position, because you are the only man in our family and your mother's dependence! Do you understand? ”

"Ah Huan understands!" Ah Huan nodded solemnly.

"Good. In the future, try to say 'I understand', and children under the age of three will call themselves like that, you are a primary school student, you have to look like a student. ”

"Ahh I remembered! ”

"Good. My son is the smartest! Shen Mengxi pinched his face.

******

Shen Mengxi had two wisdom teeth, and they didn't break their gums for two months, although they didn't hurt very much, but they reminded them of their existence from time to time, and people couldn't do things with peace of mind.

Shen Mengxi went to the dental clinic opened by the Germans, and the last time he took Ah Huan to see tooth decay, he already knew the doctor, his name was Daniel.

Daniel examined Shen Mengxi's gums and thought that the teeth could grow out completely, but it would be very long.

Now that the gums are swollen to the gills due to repeated ulcers, a portion of the gums on top of the wisdom teeth need to be removed, and the wisdom teeth can be extracted when they are fully erupted.

Shen Mengxi agreed to have his gums surgically removed, but had no intention of extracting the tooth.

Daniel knew that she also had some medical knowledge, and he didn't persuade her to reduce inflammation at the moment and have surgery in the future.

After going to the clinic three times like this, Shen Mengxi's gums were finally dealt with.

"This kind of evolutionary legacy is really troublesome!" Shen Mengxi licked his wisdom teeth with the tip of his tongue, and asked worriedly: "The left side is long, is the right side also fast?" ”

"Very likely."

"Oh my God! It's too much trouble! ”

"Don't bother, you're welcome to come to me!" Daniel said in Chinese.

"In China, doctors never say 'goodbye' to patients, never go out to see patients, and don't go out to pay New Year's greetings. You, the doctor, actually say 'welcome'? Shen Mengxi said pretending to be angry.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I do not know! Daniel hurriedly switched to German and said a bunch of apologetic words, scattering his hands, a little overwhelmed.

Shen Mengxi laughed, "I'm joking. ”

"I'm serious! My apologies are serious! ”

Shen Mengxi raised his hand in surrender and repeatedly said that he accepted the apology.

She put down the sausage made by Helen, Daniel smelled the sausage, blinked his eyes as if he was about to cry, Shen Mengxi looked at this bearded man in his thirties, and couldn't help but smile, "Hey, Daniel, don't be so moved." ”

"I feel like I'm going back to Germany, I haven't been back for a long time, I'm homesick." Daniel accepted the sausage and thanked Shen Mengxi repeatedly.

Shen Mengxi thought to himself, you all go back, everyone go back to their own country.

******

Shen Mengxi always thinks that she is the Shen Mengxi of the 21st century, not someone else, and she doesn't want to pretend to be someone else and live as someone else. But there will be involuntary confusion and helplessness. Looking in the mirror, sometimes I will be in a daze, and I am reluctant to look in the mirror for a while.

She planned to take advantage of the holidays to write two novels as a deposit. When she writes, she locks the door of her study, takes out her laptop to write, and it is easy to revise, then prints it out and transcribes it with a pen.

I often laugh out loud when I transcribe it, and I think it's funny.

Five oceans in a thousand words is not easy to earn. Typing every day, and copying after typing.

Her remuneration has risen from the original four yuan per thousand words to five yuan per thousand words, as for Hu Hongxing's six yuan per thousand words and Mr. Zhou's seven yuan per thousand words, she never thought that she could reach five yuan, and she was taken aback.

has been accustomed to being a low-key person for many years, and she does not dare to express many of her ideas truthfully, because it is out of place, and she is even more afraid that she will be sent to the forefront of public opinion. She doesn't have the courage to be the first in the world like Xu Shizhe.

In fact, during the Republic of China, it was more free than the period of educated youth, and she even thought that the literary achievements in this period were much higher than a hundred years later. Except, of course, his criticism of Chinese medicine.

Shen Mengxi always felt that Mr. Zhou was because of the death of his father when he was a child, which made him resist the whole Chinese medicine because of a quack, and he called the "Compendium of Materia Medica" as "What is Materia Medica" in the article, saying that Chinese medicine was a liar intentionally or unintentionally.

Some things are bound to be eliminated, just like the extinction of some species, it is a natural choice, but Shen Mengxi knows that Chinese medicine is a treasure of Chinese civilization and should not be lost in any case.

Every time she goes back to Baoshan, she will ask Zhang's father some questions about traditional Chinese medicine, and Zhang's father is unwilling to teach her because she is a daughter, so she grinds hard bubbles, learns the number and pulse, learns acupuncture, and secretly takes a family medical book in the name of borrowing.

In this era when there is no computer, it is the time to test people's intelligence and diligence, Chen Yinke, who is well-read and strong, Gu Hongming, who is maverick, and Lin Yutang, who is erudite and wise, are all idols worshiped by Shen Mengxi.

Chen Yinke is proficient in eight Chinese languages, Gu Hongming is fluent in nine Chinese languages, obtained 13 doctoral degrees, and translated the Analects and Zhongyong into English and German; While writing essays, Lin Yutang devoted himself to studying Chinese typewriters, creating the upper and lower shape checking methods, and spent five years compiling dictionaries.

During the Republic of China, celebrities and celebrities showed their own style, and the elite of the late Qing Dynasty gathered together, allowing people to see the stars and hope in the days of turmoil and dilapidation.

Ah Huan was picked up by the Xu family during the winter vacation, Xu's mother wanted her grandson to sleep at night, and asked Shen Mengxi to take Ah Huan back to live for a while, Shen Mengxi did not agree, but agreed that Ah Huan would visit her grandparents and come back before school started. Children have stronger adaptability than adults, Ah Huan has been accustomed to the mode that his father, mother, and grandparents are not together for more than half a year, he brought a lot of toys, a lot of sausages, and after saying goodbye to Junde and his friends, he followed the Xu family's maid. Helen reluctantly wiped her tears and muttered vigorously: "Ah Huan, come back early, come back early!" ”

Ah Huan was moved by Helen and also shed tears: "Aunt Helen, I promise you, don't cry." ”

As soon as Ah Huan left, the house was a lot empty, and it was idle, and Rhubarb sniffed around looking for Ah Huan for a few days, very anxious.

Rhubarb has a shiny coat and is much taller, Shen Mengxi will take it for a walk and exercise on the nearby road in the morning, and also put a dog leash on it, one person and one dog, walking and turning in a big circle, which is also a good exercise.

Early that morning, they went out for a walk again, Rhubarb walked majestically in front, Shen Mengxi was loosely holding the rope, and there was not even a figure on the street. Because it's too early.

Suddenly, Rhubarb stopped and shouted at the intersection on the left, not loud, just a warning.

A woman screamed, she should have been startled, and Shen Mengxi hurriedly drank the rhubarb. saw two men in black rushing out from behind the woman, one of whom pulled out a pistol and was about to kill Rhubarb. The other hurried to stop him.

Shen Mengxi also took out a pistol and aimed it at the gun bearer, "Don't move!" ”

The two were obviously startled, but they didn't expect a woman walking her dog to pull out a gun when she said it.

The woman who screamed was in her fifties, dressed in rich and gorgeous clothes, and she slapped the gunman on the back of the head, "You're amazing!" Pull out the gun again! ”

The man was beaten so much that he crouched down with his neck bent, not daring to fight back or move.

Another person advised: "The old lady is angry, don't be angry!" Give Ah Bian another daring, he didn't dare to shoot in the French Concession, he just scared and scared people, and quickly angered the old lady. ”

Seeing that they had collected their guns, Shen Mengxi also received a five-four pistol.

"I'm sorry, old lady, my dog scared you, apologize to you, do you want to do it?"

The old woman glanced at Rhubarb angrily: "I hate these dogs the most!" Look at Shen Mengxi again, "Which little maid are you, walking the dog with a gun?" Fierce! ”

"Old lady, I'm walking a dog with a gun, but your dog has a gun!" Shen Mengxi expected that they would not dare to shoot in the concession, and they spoke as they pleased.

"Hahahaha!" The old lady was not angry, but laughed heartily. "You little girl is talking interestingly!"

The two men in black looked aggrieved and didn't dare to speak.

"Old lady, you can see clearly, I am not a little girl. I used to get up early and go out for activities, and by the way, I also took the rhubarb around, and it was stuffy in the yard every day, and it was very depressed. Shen Mengxi didn't care about the old lady, the two men in black should be bodyguards, responsible for the safety of the old lady, just overly nervous.

"It's not a maid, is the owner out to walk the dog?" The old lady muttered incomprehensibly. "Hey! You're right! Every day in the yard, let alone dogs, people will get moldy and grow green hair! ”

"Yes! Then you walk slowly, and I'll go for a walk! ”

After walking more than 20 meters, Shen Mengxi stopped, touched Rhubarb's head and said, "Rhubarb, the residents here are either rich or expensive, you can't scream on the road in the future, remember?" ”

Rhubarb made a breath in his throat, and he didn't know whether to say "I know" or to show that he was not convinced. Shen Mengxi patted it and continued to walk forward.
