Chapter Forty-Eight: The General's Show of Love
Seeing Hu Hongxing lying on the hospital bed, his face was swollen and haggard, Shen Mengxi was really taken aback.
Hu Hongxing, who was lying down, did not wear glasses, squinted his eyes and did not recognize Shen Mengxi, Jiang Hongxiu put the glasses on him, Hu Hongxing nodded his head in thanks, Shen Mengxi hurriedly pressed his hand to signal that he did not have to be polite.
sat down to greet Jiang Hongxiu for a few words, and Jiang Hongxiu burst into tears, "The doctor of Xiehe asked us to be discharged from the hospital, saying that it could not be cured." ”
Shen Mengxi looked at Hu Hongxing, and said it bluntly in front of the patient, could he stand it.
Hu Hongxing didn't react, thinking that he already knew the truth, so he asked casually, "Have you tried Chinese medicine?" ”
Jiang Hongxiu glanced at her husband and said helplessly, "He doesn't like Chinese medicine, it's not scientific." ”
"Oh, science is not scientific, at least you have to try to know. Black cats and white cats, if you catch a mouse, you are a good cat. Dr. Hu should understand that sometimes things that are not scientific are just because science can't explain them for the time being. My father is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Baoshan, and there are countless people in half of life, so if necessary, I will immediately drive to pick up his old man and show you. ”
Jiang Hongxiu sighed, "The father-in-law mentioned by Shizhe, is it just that you look at my mouth." ”
Shen Mengxi smiled unmindingly, nodded and said, "My father is good at internal medicine and pediatrics, and my brother is good at acupuncture. However, there are many famous Chinese and Western medicine experts in Shanghai, and I just mentioned it casually, and Dr. Hu does not need to worry about it. Without disturbing your recuperation, I will take my leave. ”
Hu Hongxing on the bed moved his mouth weakly and imperceptibly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Jiang Hongxiu sent Shen Mengxi out, hesitantly took her hand, and stopped talking.
Shen Mengxi didn't speak, and she wasn't interested in giving Father Zhang this mess.
Jiang Hongxiu's eyes were red, and the doctor's words were clear, there was no cure, and if she was sent back to Beiping, she would die on the road, and if she didn't send it, she would wait to die in Shanghai.
There was a noisy voice at the stairs, and several people walked quickly around an old man, and when Shen Mengxi got closer, he found that it was Zhang's father, followed by Zhang Jiaheng, Zhang Jiayu and Xu Shizhe, and she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. Father Zhang brushed away her hand and said anxiously, "Where is Dr. Hu?" ”
Zhang's father has been a doctor since elementary school, and he has not taken the career of a literati, which has become a lifelong regret, so he admires the talented people very much, this time needless to say, it must be Zhang Jiayu and Xu Shizhe who went back to Baoshan to invite people, looking at Zhang's father's anxious appearance, he must have agreed to come down, and he will be treated for free, and take the medicine fee.
Hu Hongxing, who was lying on the bed, was disgusted with Western medicine, and could only be at the mercy of others, Jiang Hongxiu happily took out her husband's wrist from the quilt, Zhang's father sat down on the chair next to the bed, breathed for a moment, and asked Jiang Hongxiu some about Hu Hongxing's diet, sleep, and bowel movements, before solemnly stretching out his hand, clasping Hu Hongxing's wrist with three fingers, closing his eyes and pulse, and changing his other hand for a while.
Everyone waited with bated breath, and no one dared to speak.
Zhang's father exhaled, withdrew his hand, and as soon as he raised his hand, Zhang Jiaheng immediately took out his own pen and paper, Zhang's father carefully wrote a prescription, and asked Zhang Jiaheng to grab the medicine and decoction in person, Zhang Jiaheng should be, and hurriedly walked out, and Xu Shizhe also hurriedly followed.
A group of people watched Hu Hongxing take the medicine before leaving. This time he was busy, it was getting late, and considering that no one in the Hu family knew how to decoct medicine, Father Zhang pointed directly at Shen Mengxi and said, "You, come and boil the medicine tomorrow morning!" ”
Yes, free consultation, free delivery of medicine, and free medicine.
Jiang Hongxiu sent them out of the ward with great gratitude, and embarrassedly took Shen Mengxi's hand and said, "Where do you dare to use you to boil medicine, I will do it myself tomorrow." ”
Shen Mengxi looked at her chubby hands with meat pits that did not touch the spring water, and said with a smile, "Don't mind, my father has given a strict order, and if you don't obey, I will be beaten." ”
Jiang Hongxiu smiled and said that it was rude and troublesome.
Shen Mengxi hurriedly said that he should be polite and polite.
Zhang's father followed Shen Mengxi back to the villa in the French Concession, he wanted to live here until Hu Hongxing recovered, but Zhang Jiaheng insisted on going back to Baoshan, Zhang's father said, "You are really not needed here, go home." ”
Zhang Jiayu followed Zhang's father with a hippie smile, "Sister, don't beat me, my father has already beaten me!" ”
Shen Mengxi glanced at him, it was really difficult to drive him in front of Father Zhang, so he had to take them home.
Zhang's father lived in Zhang Jiayu's room in the past, and Zhang Jiayu was cheeky and squeezed together with his nephew. When Father Zhang saw the women and children in Shen Mengxi's house, he only said, "It's the same as your mother."
For Helen, don't look at incivility, don't say anything incivil, always keep a distance, and don't even give a look. Helen once thought that the old man hated her as a foreigner, and she was very sad, but after Shen Mengxi's good explanation in Chinese and German, she understood that this was the gentlemanly style of the old Chinese man.
The next day, Shen Mengxi really went to boil the medicine in person, and watched Hu Hongxing pinch his nose and drink the bitter medicine. It wasn't until the third day that Baoshan sent a disciple to boil medicine, and Shen Mengxi was relieved.
Hu Hongxing's body was slowly recovering, and he had already returned to the rented place to recuperate, and Zhang's father came to the door to revise the prescription twice before returning to Baoshan with confidence.
Two months later, Hu Hongxing returned to Beiping, taking Zhang's father Guben Peiyuan's conditioning prescription, but he still refused to directly admit that Chinese medicine cured him, only saying that Chinese medicine is not scientific and confused, but it treats diseases, Western medicine is very scientific and clear, but it can't cure diseases.
Before returning to Beiping, Jiang Hongxiu carried a heavy gift to Baoshan to thank Zhang's father, and took out a thousand oceans as a consultation fee, Zhang's father did not mind that Hu Hongxing did not come to thank him in person, but felt that it was a literati who were not informal, he refused the consultation fee, and only accepted the gift. The Hu family has been gone for a long time, but he still strokes his beard and sits on the chair and laughs.
In the golden autumn of September, the Yu brothers went to school with Ah Huan and Hongzhi.
Xu Shizhe went to Beijing again, and when he came to say goodbye to Ah Huan, he told Shen Mengxi that he and Lu Xiaomei had reconciled. Shen Mengxi saw that Xu Shizhe's whole person was overjoyed, and he was ready to make money for Lu Xiaomei desperately, so he could only smile and bless them.
Wang Shouqing regularly returns to Shanghai once a month, and every time he comes to Shen Mengxi's house as a guest, brings a small gift to Ah Huan, and then stays for lunch or dinner. The business of military uniforms is no longer within his authority, but there is still some face, and with Zhang Jiaxuan's relationship, Shen Mengxi's garment factory still has orders.
Zhang Jiarui calculated the day when Wang Shouqing returned to Shanghai, and always rushed to Shen Mengxi's house on that day, brought design drawings to discuss with Shen Mengxi, and sometimes went to the kitchen to show his skills, and then stayed to eat together.
Shen Mengxi knows all about Wang Shouqing and Zhang Jiarui's thoughts, to be honest, she does not reject remarriage, but it must be suitable. Wang Shouqing has a good character, but there is Lu Xiaomei's matter first, if they are together, the newspaper must be earth-shattering, this kind of emotion on the cusp is the most difficult to maintain, plus Zhang Jiarui's inconvenience, she is even more unwilling.
Wang Shouqing is a workaholic, one by one, in his concept, Shen Mengxi must have understood his affection, just a suitable time, he broke the window paper, and the two naturally entered the relationship.
That Shenyang incident, when he learned that Shen Mengxi had not left Shenyang, he became restless and anxious, and at that time he clearly knew that he was in love with that independent, strong, and eccentric woman, when he liked it, he didn't know whose ex-wife she was, he didn't care.
If there was no Shen Mengxi on the last train, he would really drive straight to Shenyang to find her.
But now when I see her face, I can't say what I like many times, and I can only waste it month by month.
Sometimes he is very confident, feeling that on his own terms, he is completely worthy of this divorced woman with children, and sometimes he is very inferior, and he feels that he will never know what a woman thinks, and he is afraid that Shen Mengxi will also dislike him and understand the amorous feelings.
And Zhang Jiarui's secret send-off, he didn't even notice it.
This night, eating the Zhang family's sauerkraut and pork dumplings, Wang Shouqing was very satisfied, and the military speed eliminated a large plate of dumplings, and put down the chopsticks unsatisfied.
"Mr. Wang, I like Xiaoyu's cooking, so I followed her from Germany to Shanghai, you like Xiaoyu's dumplings, it's best to marry her home!" Otherwise, Daniel will marry back to Germany! Helen said across the table.
Wang Shouqing looked embarrassed, a little embarrassed in front of a table of people, but he still nodded very seriously, "Helen, you are really a good person, you actually know what I have been thinking all along!" ”
After speaking, he looked at Shen Mengxi and said, "Jiayu, I really should bring flowers today, I hate that I haven't been acting like a soldier recently, I'm very nervous." ”
Zhang Jiayu laughed, "Only Helen is soft-hearted, I won't, I just have to see how long you can survive!" ”
Shen Mengxi didn't expect that the matter would be brought to the dinner table like this, looking at everyone's expressions, everyone was smiling and watching the show, only Zhang Jiarui's face was pale, a dumpling fell off the vinegar dish, and the vinegar juice splashed on her white skirt, and she didn't care about wiping it.
"General Wang, don't joke, I'm a divorced woman, and I can't afford to joke like this. One day it appeared in the tabloids, and it was another storm. ”
Wang Shouqing insisted on going her own way, believing that she was reserved, and stood up, "I'm not joking, I swear by the honor of a soldier!" I'm 10,000 sincere! Courting you! Please think about it! It's rude today, I'm going back to prepare! After speaking, he didn't give Shen Mengxi a chance to refuse, so he turned around and left.
"Sister, I think he can do it! What era is it, don't listen to the second brother! What else are you looking for if you missed General Wang? Zhang Jiayu looked at Wang Shouqing who went out, "Good health, high morality, young and promising, what's more?" Divorced? You've been away too, you still have a child! ”
"I'm living well with Ah Huan, it's not the same with you at home!"
Ah Huan suddenly grabbed Shen Mengxi's hand, "Mom, is it because of me that you refuse to agree to Uncle Wang, I like him, what a good person he is!" ”
Shen Mengxi became upset, why did she take care of her affairs one by one, she stood up and wanted to go upstairs, but Zhang Jiayu jumped up and held down, "You dislike Shizhe's heart, this is not careful, why do you still dislike it?" Could it be that you still read poetry? 'You're in your heart when I miss you'? ”
Shen Mengxi couldn't cry or laugh.
"I don't like merry talents, I don't like heroic generals, do you like the generals of non-resistance in the Northeast?" Zhang Jiayu kicked her nose and face again.
"Shut up! Squirt anything? I can't wait to kill him! "Shen Mengxi is on fire.
Zhang Jiayu covered her mouth and said nothing.
After a while, he said, "Then, then you have to think about it, give Brother Shouqing a chance, don't take it seriously, there are more people waiting in line outside to be the general's wife." At the end, he said pitifully, "Also, sister, you see that I didn't bring a girlfriend, so you can forgive me." ”
"Got it! Get out of here! ”
"Huh!" Zhang Jiayu happily went upstairs.
