Huang Shiying asked for help from many of Zhang Jiasen's friends, and Shen Mengxi also asked Lin Yuesheng for help, and finally learned that Zhang Jiasen was indeed arrested by the government, Shen Mengxi didn't know what this brother did for a while, and he didn't know what he told the students in those schools, only knew that he was an expert in metaphysics or constitutional law.

Zhang Jiasen is a very stubborn person, once he has his own views on things, it is difficult to change, for example, he resolutely opposes his sister's remarriage, he must use classical Chinese in his writings, and all the articles he writes reject the vernacular, for his sister to translate "Sherlock Holmes" in the vernacular, he simply disdains to read it,—— the same thing as speaking, what else is it called?

is also a very strong and domineering person, the last time he attacked Shen Mengxi, it was also because she broke away from his arrangement and control, and took a path that he did not approve. Huang Shiying was originally a very talented woman, she had two children after marriage, she was busy with housework every day, and in her spare time, she helped Zhang Jiasen sort out articles and assist him in his official duties, and she had no ego at all.

But Zhang Jiasen is absolutely loyal to his wife, and many literati nowadays have girlfriends in the name of freedom of love, but he guards Huang Shiying alone and has never had scandals.

Huang Shiying learned of her husband's whereabouts from Shen Mengxi, and worked with Zhang Jiaxuan to mediate in many ways, and the Zhang family in Baoshan sent 10,000 oceans for dotting. Huang Shiying's tears fell, and the benefits of brotherly harmony were fully reflected at this moment.

Shen Mengxi didn't get too involved in the rest of the matter, she took her nephew Zhang Bendao to her home, this child is only four years old, with such an old-fashioned name, Shen Mengxi wants to laugh when he sees him, and usually calls him Dabao. No need to ask, this name must have been taken by Zhang Jiasen, and Xiaobao's name Zhang Letao should have been taken by Huang Shiying.

There is one more Zhang Jiayu in the family, two more children, plus one more servant hired, every day is very lively, Ah Huan is the happiest, this child is a little naïve, he believes that as long as he is good to others, others will definitely like him, and they will be equally good to him. Moreover, he sees whether others like him or not is very important.

"Son, it is impossible for others to like you, and it is not very important whether others like you or not, the important thing is that you love yourself."

Ah Huan didn't understand her words very much, and she was still the same.

On this day, Shen Mengxi took Xiaobao to the Yunshang clothing store, she put Xiaobao in a small cart, gave her a toy, and let her play by herself. Start looking at your accounts for the current month.

Halfway through the sight, Daniel came, and he took out a Bible to Shen Mengxi and persuaded her to embrace Christianity. Shen Mengxi couldn't cry or laugh, "Why did you suddenly give me this?" I don't believe in anything. ”

"You have to believe!" Daniel said seriously, "You believe in God so that we can be together." ”

Shen Mengxi was stunned, what was this person talking about?

"You know, I'm not married, I don't have a girlfriend, I don't dance or smoke, as long as you believe in God, we'll go to church and get married right away!"

Shen Mengxi picked up the ledger and knocked him on the head, "Who wants to marry you!" ”

Daniel was knocked out, but he was not angry, he was very happy to see that all the items in Shen Mengxi's office were placed in an orderly manner, "God has put us together, you see, we all like to put things neatly and neatly!" ”

"Daniel, I think it's better for us to be friends. I don't plan to remarry after the divorce, I just want to live with my son, you are so good, you will definitely find a suitable partner for you. ”

A little frustrated, Daniel insisted on keeping the Bible, "I'm sincere! ”

Shen Mengxi nodded and comforted him, "It's me who is not blessed, you are really good." ”

"You like that General Wang, don't you?"

Shen Mengxi shook his head, "Even you believe in tabloid news!" ”

Daniel quickly shook his head, "Of course I don't believe it. ”

"Go back quickly, maybe someone has a toothache that can't stand it, waiting for the door of your clinic!"

When Daniel heard this, he became a little anxious, "You must read the Bible!" Then he hurried away. Shen Mengxi shook his head and continued to look at the account book.

Xiaobao was accustomed to Helen's foreign face, and he was not nervous when he saw Daniel, and shouted a word at the door: "Mao! ”

Shen Mengxi was happy, "Mao." ”

Chen Amei liked Xiaobao very much and pushed her to the door to bask in the sun.

Just after reading the account, Zhang Jiarui came, "Sister, I'm here, you can take Xiaobao back." ”

"It's been a hard time for you."

"It's not hard, as soon as our classmates graduated, only Li Wenxin and I worked, everyone else was looking for jobs everywhere, and some of them went home to get married. My aunt praises you every day. ”

"You've done me a great favor." Shen Mengxi touched her head. "I'll take Xiaobao home to eat, the second brother doesn't know when he will be able to get out of trouble, let's help each other during this time, you have time to go to the second sister-in-law to have a look."

"Got it!"

As soon as the bell on the door rang, Wang Shouqing, who was dressed in military uniform, came in, and Shen Mengxi hurriedly invited him to sit down in the office, and introduced Zhang Jiarui and him.

It turned out that Wang Shouqing came to Shanghai on business and came to apologize to Shen Mengxi.

"If we want to apologize, it should be me, I was the one who went to Harbin with you in the first place."

"No, I remember I took the initiative to invite it."

The two of them recalled the original conversation and both ended up laughing.

"It's okay, I've already thought about it, the first week was very crazy, and even felt that my statement was ruined, hehe, in fact, it is impossible for people to live without being contaminated at all, and it is impossible for everyone to say good. The heart is clear, and what others want is free. ”

"I'm relieved that you're like this. Presumably Brother Jiasen is very angry, I know his temper. I've been aware of his affairs recently, and I'm trying to figure out how to do it. Although you can't see him and you can't speak, you can rest assured that he is only under house arrest in the security office and has not been punished. ”

Shen Mengxi was very grateful, and finally got some accurate news, she waved to Zhang Jiarui again and again, "Go, go, go tell the second sister-in-law!" ”

Zhang Jiarui was also very excited, "Hey! He ran out.

"I read your translation, and it's good. I really underestimated Miss Zhang before, I counted carefully, you are proficient in at least four languages: English, French, German, and Russian. I take the liberty of asking, is that dream past, is it you? ”

Shen Mengxi raised his eyebrows, "Oh? How can you ask that? ”

"I noticed a few idiomatic words, and the other thing is that there are too few women returning from studying abroad." Wang Shouqing said with a smile. "That new world is so well depicted."

"I can't hide it from you." Shen Mengxi didn't deny it, and made him a cup of instant coffee, "Add a few sugars?" ”

"Nothing. I drink clear coffee. ”

The two of them each had a cup of coffee and smiled at each other.

Today is destined to be a day when there are only friends to visit, but no customers. Shen Mengxi heard a female voice teasing Xiaobao at the door outside the store, "What a beautiful female doll!" It's so cute with little hands and feet! ”

She noticed that Wang Shouqing's face changed when she heard the voice, and she quickly calmed down.

She followed the open office door and looked out, only to see Lu Xiaomei pushing the door in, and she was also stunned when she saw Wang Shouqing, and the sweet smile that had just finished teasing the child disappeared in an instant.

"So you're here, too."

"I come to apologize. Recently, Miss Zhang has been involved. ”

"I'm also here to apologize to Miss Zhang. Shizhe said that my expenses were too big, which affected Miss Zhang's son. ”

Shen Mengxi gave up the last chair in the office to Lu Xiaomei, and called Chen Amei to bring a round stool in, Wang Shouqing was about to leave when he saw this, "Since we have made it clear, the future military uniform processing will still be the same, then I will leave." ”

"I'm not coming, and you won't be leaving. The coffee is still new, why are you going to leave as soon as I come! Lu Xiaomei sat down, picked up Wang Shouqing's coffee, and sniffed it.

Shen Mengxi smiled and brewed another cup of coffee, and Lu Xiaomei added double milk and sugar.

Wang Shouqing still said goodbye, Shen Mengxi saw him at the door, touched Xiaobao's face, and said something to her, Xiaobao smiled and waved his hands, very happy.

Lu Xiaomei also saw it, and there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

"We say ours." Lu Xiaomei got up and went to close the office door.

Shen Mengxi stopped: "I can't close the door, I have to see Xiaobao at any time." The clerk is outside the door, and he can't hear anything, so if you have something, just tell me quickly. ”

Lu Xiaomei nodded, "It seems that I shouldn't have come today, firstly, it seems that I am unreasonable, and secondly, it has also disturbed the conversation between you and Shouqing." ”

Shen Mengxi smiled noncommittally and took a sip of coffee, "Try the coffee." Bitter and sweet should be good. ”

Lu Xiaomei took a sip, "Well, this kind of coffee that is not freshly ground tastes good." I'm different from you, I'm sweet and can't endure hardship. She looked at the clothing store and then at the office layout, "You are the daughter of the family, and you have eight brothers who love you, I didn't expect you to be so capable." ”

"It's better to be reliable. I don't want to be a drag on others. ”

"My mother said that I don't want a marriage that is envied by women all over the country, so I have to divorce and find a man who abandons his wife and children." She laughed self-deprecatingly and took a sip of her coffee, "I added two pieces of sugar, but it's still bitter." Isn't yours bitter? ”

"Bitter. Refresh your mind. When I have a sweet tooth, I eat sugar directly. ”

Lu Xiaomei thought for a few seconds after hearing this, and smiled, her exposed teeth slightly yellow. She noticed Shen Mengxi's gaze and closed her lips unnaturally.

"Do you know, I don't envy wealth or glory, as long as I have a happy family and a partner like my heart. My parents chose Shouqing for me, and I thought I had found the best man in the country, but I was lonely all day long, with no one to talk to, and I laughed and mixed in the crowd every day. Now married to Shizhe, he is also traveling between places and can't accompany me. Ling Su's words are right, once the love between men and women becomes husband and wife, they will slowly turn into resentful couples. ”

"You can go to Beijing with you, so you don't have to be separated."

"No, I can't go to Beijing, the climate is too dry, and the skin is itchy and uncomfortable. And when I was sick, I didn't have Raven's massage, and I was going to die. ”

"You can use petroleum jelly to apply the epidermis of your skin, and there are many clever doctors in Beijing."

"You're blaming me, let Shizhe work hard."

"Not really. It's just strange, you have to spend money and have someone to accompany you. Shen Mengxi looked directly at Lu Xiaomei.

"I don't need money, what I need is a confidant who understands me, cares about me, appreciates me, and loves me, and I want vigorous love, not such a vulgar ...... of firewood, rice, oil and salt."

Shen Mengxi looked at her self-pitying appearance and couldn't help but say: "Life is not only about ups and downs, and people have to learn to be alone." After all, life and death are solitary. Mrs. Xu has so many talents, it should not be difficult to be alone. ”

"No, don't you think that when you are drawing, someone next to you will watch you, and you will perform extraordinarily?"

Shen Mengxi shook his head, unable to understand, "I generally don't like to be disturbed when I do my own thing. ”

"I don't have brothers and sisters, I'm afraid of loneliness, I'm afraid of loneliness." She yawned quietly, then smiled, "I was going to quarrel with you, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

"That's because there's no reason for us to quarrel."

Lu Xiaomei nodded deeply, "That's true." Ah Huan may be Shizhe's only child, you have to be good, come to us if you have difficulties. ”

Shen Mengxi smiled dumbly, "Thank you, we are fine, there is no difficulty." Mrs. Xu also took care of her health. ”

Xiaobao was a little hungry, and was hugged by Chen Amei with a chirp, followed by two customers.

Lu Xiaomei looked at her watch and stood up to say goodbye.

Shen Mengxi took Xiaobao and sent her to the door, Lu Xiaomei turned around and touched Xiaobao's face again, walked to a car on the side of the road, and it was Weng Ruiwen who got down from the driver's seat, he nodded at Shen Mengxi gentlemanly and opened the car door for Lu Xiaomei.

The two drove away. Xiaobao shouted loudly, and Shen Mengxi came back to his senses, "Eat, eat, ancestor!" Eat it right away! ”
