Chapter 44: Extreme
Although the windows were open, there were too many people, and the carriage was still filled with various odors. Most of the passengers on the bus had numb sadness on their faces.
Ma Chen's child had no clothes to change, Shen Mengxi took out a piece of clothing from her baggage, tore it into several pieces, folded it and put it under the child, Ma Chen's screamed eagerly, Shen Mengxi glared, and she held it back.
The train was moving slowly, several students were discussing state affairs and homework in a low voice, Ma Chen took care of the children, and the Yu brothers slept under the chairs. Shen Mengxi sat quietly, as if he was asleep.
When the train entered Hebei, she got off the train and met Li Huixian's father again, expressed her gratitude again, and asked his name, and he smiled and said, "My name is Li Jingzhong." The child's mother begs the Bodhisattva every day to bless the benefactor with a long life, and this time if she knows that I can help a little, I don't know how happy I am! ”
Li Jingzhong. Shen Mengxi silently thought, sure enough.
Of course, she understands what it feels like to owe favors, and she is also happy to make their hearts easier, "Let's settle the two, don't call me a benefactor in the future!" ”
"How can that be?" Li Jingzhong said with a smile.
"Is the work of the railway bureau easy to do?"
Hearing this, Li Jingzhong was slightly surprised, "You want to scold me, right?" Manchuria is lost, and I still drive trains for the Japanese! I admit that you scold me, but I still have to open it, how can we live if we don't open it! The old and the young in the house all pointed at me. I've been in the railway bureau for eight years, and to be honest, the Japanese are really polite to our staff and never scold. ”
Shen Mengxi was silent, "Then you can drive the train well, and don't get involved in anything else." ”
"Hey! I understand, I understand! ”
"How is your daughter?"
"Good! Hye-hyun is good! The child's mother is pregnant again! Li Jingzhong talked about his wife and children, with a smile on his face.
"That's good." Shen Mengxi nodded.

The train finally arrived in Beiping, and although some passengers got off in Hebei, most of them went to Beijing. Many people on the platform are looking forward to it, some crying with their heads in their arms, and some sighing in disappointment. Chaotic and hilarious.
Shen Mengxi took a bunch of oil bottles, got out of the car late, and saw Li Jingzhong in uniform standing at the front of the car, she smiled and waved her hand.
The four students were still waiting for her under the bus, and even if they didn't know where to go, they had to take care of the students as a teacher. "Do you know where Dongda is now, if not, just follow me to Shanghai, it's summer vacation anyway." Shen Mengxi discussed with them.
"Zhang Jiayu!" An excited voice shouted. As soon as Shen Mengxi turned around, he was hugged by a pair of arms, and then immediately let go. She looked up in a daze, it was actually Wang Shouqing, he was very excited, and said vigorously: "It's really you, great, great!" ”
Shen Mengxi looked at the four students with some embarrassment, and then looked at Wang Shouqing: "Why are you here?" ”
“...... I'll pick you up. ”
"Oh."
"I'll send you."
"You're not picking people up?"
"Oh, he probably didn't get on this train."
"Seventh Sister!" Zhang Jiayu ran over from the other side, hugged Shen Mengxi, and strangled her to hold her breath, "You're back!" I'm in a hurry! ”
"Why are you here too?"
"We're here to pick you up! I'm from Shanghai, and Brother Shouqing is from Nanjing. If this train can't pick you up, the two of us will drive directly to Shenyang to find you! Zhang Jiayu pointed to a car not far from the platform.
Wang Shouqing coughed a little uncomfortably.
"I'll go back and make you something to eat." Shen Mengxi patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "Is everything okay at home?" ”
"Everything is fine, it's just that the fourth brother is too concerned about you, and his voice is hoarse."
"Let you worry about it. By the way, I can't sit in the car, and I have a lot of people! She waved back.
Wang Shouqing was stunned, "Wherever you go, can you pick up people?" ”
Shen Mengxi laughed, finally relieved after a few days.
Wang Shouqing settled a few people to a residence in Dongjiaomin Lane, Shen Mengxi quickly called Zhang Jiaxuan as soon as possible, listening to his hoarse voice, Shen Mengxi was very guilty, "Fourth brother, I'm sorry." ”
"Let's go back to Shanghai early, Ah Huan is so anxious."
"Okay, I got it."
Shen Mengxi packed up and stopped to learn that most of the students of the University of Tokyo had returned to their hometowns one after another, and about 500 students from the Northeast had been settled in Peking Normal University.
Shen Mengxi went to meet the teachers and students of the University of Tokyo that day, she first heard Adjutant Qi say, and thought that Zhang Hanqing sent a train to pick up the teachers and students, and when she saw President Luo, she knew that after she left that night, Professor Peng immediately called President Luo, and it was President Luo who used his personal relationship for the first time to send an additional train to organize the safe evacuation of 3,000 teachers and students from Shenyang in the shortest possible time.
Principal Luo was very relieved to see Shen Mengxi return safely. "Your brother has called me, and he's in a hurry.
"It's worrying everyone." Shen Mengxi is sorry.
"You were the first to warn and save everyone!" Principal Luo did not ask where she had gone, nor did he ask her how she got to Beiping, fully showing her respect and trust for her subordinates.
Zhang Hanqing is said to be recuperating somewhere in Beiping now, Shen Mengxi didn't make any expression when he heard it, and the overwhelming curses in the newspaper could only recuperate.
Shen Mengxi took out a check for 10,000 yuan and gave it to Principal Luo, "I'm sorry principal, I can't take care of the students with you at such a critical juncture." I hope that this money can reduce some of your burden, when you can find a school location, you can start school, you can call me. ”
Principal Luo took the check, very moved, and thought of the great campus, the great rivers and mountains fell into the hands of the Japanese in such a way, and for a while the old tears were all over the place, and he couldn't cry, "The Northeast has fallen!" ”
"We'll take it back!" Shen Mengxi comforted softly,—— but it will be a long, long time.
Shen Mengxi left her home phone and told Principal Luo to call her if she had something, and she could help raise money to rebuild the school. Principal Luo nodded again and again, and watched Shen Mengxi leave.

When Ah Huan saw Shen Mengxi, he cried and pounced, he was really scared.
Shen Mengxi hugged the sensitive child tightly and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my mother is back, I'm back." ”
Zhang Jiaxuan also moistened her eyes, looked at the four oil bottles behind her, admired it very much, and said to Wang Shouqing: "My seventh sister has the foresight to buy a big house. ”
Wang Shouqing also smiled: "Miss Zhang is a kind-hearted person. ”
Helen hugged Ma Chen's child and liked it very much, she muttered, "Chinese children are the cutest angels, and Chinese people are also very good,...... There is no fox smell. ”
She muttered in German, Shen Mengxi and Wang Shouqing laughed when they heard it, explained it to everyone, and everyone laughed too.
Helen doesn't smell like a fox, it's rare, so she's very confident, she hardly uses any perfume, and when she talks about it, she has some faint pride and pride. But she didn't know that there was a strong smell of sausages on her body and hair.
Ma Chen saw a tall woman with yellow hair and blue eyes holding her daughter and talking non-stop, and everyone just laughed, she was a little scared, she had heard people say that some old hairs eat children's hearts and livers. Plucked up the courage to stick to it, wanting to hug her daughter back, Helen found out about her attempt, snorted and dodged, Ma Chen's wow cried, as if her daughter would be eaten in the next second.
"Don't be afraid, Helen is my German friend, she likes children the most and will not hurt her." Shen Mengxi explained to Ma Chen. Ma Chen was a little relieved, but he still didn't dare to let the child out of his sight.
Helen hugged her arm and returned the child to Ma Chen, who hurriedly took it and went to the side to check it. I couldn't see everyone crying and laughing.
Shen Mengxi arranged for Ma Chen and A Qing to live together, and when the child was older, let her go to work in the factory in Baoshan.
The Yu brothers lived with Hongzhi, went to school together in September, and usually had to do some work to pay for tuition and meals. Two boys, good arithmetic, and good handwriting, three little fellows, soon got together.
Shen Mengxi returned to the bedroom and immediately felt that someone had lived there, although he had tried his best to recover.
She called out to A-Qing.
Ah Qing looked at her face and said embarrassedly, "The Ninth Young Master doesn't allow me to say it." ”
"Listen to him, go with him."
"Miss Zhang, I, I said, the Ninth Young Master brought his girlfriend back to live...... A few ......"
"Who lives there?"
"The Ninth Young Master and ......"
"Don't say it." Shen Mengxi pointed to the big bed and said, "Throw everything out of me!" ”
Seeing that Ah Qing was really stunned, "Did you hear that?" Throw it out! Even the bed was thrown out! ”
Hearing a voice downstairs, Zhang Jiaxuan asked what was wrong. Ah Qing went downstairs with the futon, and Zhang Jiayu saw a change in her face.
"Seventh sister, you're going too far! Didn't you just sleep in your bed, and you would be so ashamed of me? Zhang Jiayu's face was purple and blue, and she trembled, "It's in vain that I'm so worried, I've traveled thousands of miles to pick you up!" ”
Shen Mengxi had already called Zhao San'er from the window to come up and move the bed.
Wen Yan stood at the top of the stairs and said to Zhang Jiayu: "Zhang Jiayu! I trust you to live in such a big house, and there is only one condition at the beginning, don't bring friends! How do you do it? You bring a girlfriend to stay! Are there no rooms available? Why do you want to live in my bed? Shen Mengxi was also angry.
"Isn't that the bedding in the other bedroom all damp?" Zhang Jiayu felt very wronged.
"I said, don't bring anyone else!"
"That's none other than my girlfriend!"
"Unmarried cohabitation! You can do it! Suspicious quilt tide? It's too small! Shen Mengxi said to Zhao San'er, who was standing downstairs timidly, "You! Take the three boys, help me throw this bed out! ”
Zhang Jiayu was so angry that she shouted: "Fourth brother! Look at her! It's too much of a deception! ”
"Ah Qing! You've always known my rules, and you're derelict in your duties! Deduct two months' wages! Ah Qing had a bitter face, it should be.
Shen Mengxi glared at Ah Huan again, Ah Huan hurriedly lowered his head and snorted: "Mom, I'm sorry, I just looked at the study." ”
Zhang Jiaxuan and Wang Shouqing stood on the edge of the sofa, staring at a big drama in a daze, and no one spoke.
Zhang Jiayu took a few steps up the stairs, packed her luggage angrily, and walked away without looking back.
Ah Huan shouted his uncle twice, but Zhang Jiayu ignored him.
During the meal, Shen Mengxi's mood was relieved, he greeted everyone with a smile, and chatted about interesting things in Shenyang, and everyone ate quite happily. So, the mood of the hostess is a barometer of the family.
After the meal, Zhang Jiaxuan and Wang Shouqing sat down to drink tea, "My sister, her personality is too stubborn, such extremism, such perfectionism, alas, she has to endure hardships." ”
"Miss Zhang is not extreme in everything, probably because she values personal privacy and personal space, and everyone values things differently." Wang Shouqing took a sip of tea to show understanding.
"Yes, yes." Zhang Jiaxuan smiled and nodded.
