Chapter 62 Section 62 Confidante, Winter Emperor's Love

During Du Yuesheng's life of pain and suffering, moaning on the bed, his only consolation was Meng Xiaodong's dedication and tenderness.Meng Xiaodong is full of superb skills, lonely, proud and exhausted all her life, and has suffered countless blows. The words "go through vicissitudes" can be said to be a portrayal of her life.Since Du Yuesheng entered the house when she was over 60 years old, she has been with tea stoves and medicine pots for a long time. She has never shared Du Yuesheng's wealth and splendor, and she has never received Du Yuesheng's contempt and affection. He felt that he had let down Meng Xiaodong's affection.For an outstanding woman like Meng Xiaodong, letting her step into such a chaotic and complicated environment of the Du mansion, and being with a long-term sick old man like a candle in the wind, is really a cruel thing for her. matter.

After Meng Xiaodong accompanied Du Yuesheng to Hong Kong, although she forced a smile in front of Du Yuesheng with a calm expression, even if they saw each other day and night, Du Yuesheng could see that she was haggard and thinner day by day, and there was often a look of worry between her brows.Meng Xiaodong is lonely and depressed in the Du mansion in Hong Kong. She can't follow the crowd, and she can't be perfunctory. Internally and externally, dealing with social entertainment and housework are all within the scope of Yao Yulan's responsibility, and Meng Xiaodong has no turn She also didn't want to suffer, but taking care of her husband, who could be in danger of life at any time, became a heavy burden on her shoulders, and this burden, 24 hours a day, year after year, could not be taken off for a moment.Big family, two wives live under the same roof, even if Yao Yulan and Meng Xiaodong are like sisters, their teeth will bite their tongues sometimes. Because the male owner is seriously ill, the Du mansion seems to have no sunlight all year round, and no smell for a while. Laughter, Meng Xiaodong felt even more uncomfortable and out of breath during this bleak and bleak day.

Relatives and friends who often come and go in and out of Du's mansion can often see that No. 18 Kennedy Terrace is disorganized and unorganized.There are usually only three or five people in the family, and there are several places for three meals a day. Except for one or two tables in the hall outside at noon to entertain guests, Yao Yulan often eats dumplings in the room by herself, and Meng Xiaodong pours milk. Foreign snacks are also eaten behind closed doors. The patient Du Yuesheng, of course, has to serve his bowl of stewed noodles on the bed.The rest of the young masters and young ladies each have their own bedrooms, and at the same time, each has its own place to eat.In Du Yuesheng's big room, because he was sick and worried, his son and daughter didn't have the habit of being close to him, so even that room couldn't be a gathering place for the whole family to meet and have fun.Under such circumstances, once the gate of Kennedy No. 18 was closed, the Du Mansion became a large courtyard of many small units that were independent of each other.

Of course, Meng Xiaodong will be even lonelier and more lonely. She can only do the work of "nursing" mechanically every day, and the patients she takes care of are almost doomed to be impossible to recover. Du Yuesheng could feel Meng Xiaodong's state of mind and understand her distress, so he changed his "love and respect" towards Meng Xiaodong into "deep pity", and he was careful not to take this "sympathy" into consideration. "Heart" has all kinds of colors, he knows Meng Xiaodong "the lotus is gone and there are no raindrops, and the chrysanthemums are still proud of the frost." No matter what the situation is, she will not frown or cry out. However, if someone rashly expressed sympathy and pity to her, she would walk away angrily.

Ashamed that Meng Xiaodong has given him too much, and Du Yuesheng can do his best for Meng Xiaodong too little, Du Yuesheng is eager to seek the opportunity to make up for it. In daily life, Du Yuesheng always respects and loves Meng Xiaodong like that, and endures himself He talked to her softly and concentrating on the pain, and usually called her "Mummy" affectionately like his own children. What does "Mommy" want to buy and eat?As long as Meng Xiaodong revealed a little bit, he hurriedly ordered people to do it quickly, so in the eyes of outsiders, sometimes it was Du Yuesheng who turned around and took care of Meng Xiaodong in many ways.

Since Meng Xiaodong entered the Du family, for more than two years, he has always treated all the things that he is not used to, detestable, or unbearable, with a frank mind of disdain and questioning, and indifference.She never complained or complained, but on the eve of her 53rd birthday, when she had to, she said a word softly.When Du Yuesheng recalled this sentence afterwards, he felt that it had a great relationship and weight. In 1950, when Du Yuesheng wanted to move his family to France, one day Du Yuesheng was counting in his room. Together with Gu Jiatang and Wan Molin, how many passports would they need?When he calculated the total number of 27, Meng Xiaodong said flatly in front of everyone in the room:

"I'll follow. Are you a girl or a girlfriend?" As soon as the words came out, the surrounding room was solemn. A very important question was finally brought up by Meng Xiaodong Rushi. From then on, Du Yuesheng made up his mind. Regardless of all obstacles and worries, he declared in public: He would keep his promise and solve the problem as soon as possible. Married to Meng Xiaodong. As soon as Du Yuesheng said this, it seemed as if a bomb had been dropped on the Du mansion, which was in a state of disturbance. It was an undeniable fact that Du Yuesheng and Meng Xiaodong had become husband and wife.Now Du Yuesheng is lingering on the sick bed, living on oxygen every day, and he is fleeing to Hong Kong, and he is in a city of sorrow every day, so why waste such a big deal?Marriage is of no benefit to anyone, but it may cause extraneous problems and endless disputes. Opponents hold this reason repeatedly and try to dissuade them, but Du Yuesheng ignores it. He is determined to fulfill this great wish before his death. For Meng Xiaodong, but also for himself.

Du Yuesheng ordered Wan Molin to prepare immediately and act quickly, because before Meng Xiaodong, Du Yuesheng still had a deceased first wife and three wives, so in principle, it was decided not to hold the ceremony. So the meeting and wedding banquet had to be held at Du Yuesheng's mansion in Kennedy. Due to the limited space, only Du Yuesheng's close relatives and friends were invited. But Du Yuesheng insisted on applauding the banquet, so Wan Molin crossed the sea to Kowloon, ordered 900 Hong Kong dollars per table at the Kowloon Hotel, and brought all the chief executives of the Kowloon Hotel to Kennedy to cook.

The wedding date was approaching, and there was not enough space in the downstairs hall of Kennedy, because there were as many as 10 tables for the wedding banquet, so I temporarily borrowed the upstairs hall of Lu Genquan, and all the invited relatives and friends were present, and none of them was absent.On that night, Du Yuesheng accompanied the guest to be the 63-year-old groom, and Meng Xiaodong also had a smile on his face. Du Yuesheng's son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law in Hong Kong came to meet again one by one.All kneel down and kowtow like a ritual.
