When Wang Wenwu came back in the evening, his eyes were still red. Shu Jinxi heard from Guo Zhang and knew where Wang Wenwu had gone.
He said to Wang Wenwu: "Master, don't be sad. Yan'er has no fate. She can't blame others. She must blame! I can only blame myself. I know I wanted to bring Yan'er here!" Wang Wenwu held Shu Jinxi's hand.
Hand said: "Okay, don't blame yourself. Pay more attention to Zhang Ju and Zhang Bai. Zhang Ju hasn't seen his mother for so long. Zhang Bai was born prematurely and was too light. If you don't have enough breast milk, what will happen next?"
Bai may not be in good health!" Shu Jinxi wiped her tears, nodded and said, "Sir, if Yan'er really can't be taken back, then bury her here! I think these are all buried!"
"France is a country with a long Catholic tradition, and its citizens are accustomed to burial. The reason is actually very simple: Catholics believe
"Last Judgment", believers must lie quietly after death
In the "Resurrection Valley", you are waiting to be judged by God for your final destination - whether to go to heaven or to hell.
If a person's body is cremated, he will not be able to go to the Valley of Resurrection and will lose the chance to go to heaven. This is obviously not what devout Catholics want, so Catholics refuse to be cremated and prefer to be buried directly.
"Buried."
"Master, you know so much!"
"If you read too many books, you will naturally know. Do you have enough milk now?" Shu Jinxi shook his head and said, "Not much, but I have asked the landlady to help me find it. I should be able to find it soon!" Wang Wenwu said anxiously: "
Then isn’t it less now? What should I do?”
"Don't worry, milk is easy to find here. I fed you some milk! The little beans are growing very fast now!"
"Little beans!"
"Zhang Bai, I thought of a nickname first. You didn't see it when I was born, but you are so small! Fortunately, you have grown a lot now!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"Why did I work so hard? It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought Yan'er here. It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought Yan'er here!" Seeing Shu Jinxi complaining about himself again, Wang Wenwu quickly comforted him.
Don't let Shu Jinxi think about the topic alone, so he asked again: "Where did you get this milk? If it is not fresh, it will be unclean to eat it!" Shu Jinxi listened to Wang Wenwu's question and said
: “Bought a cow from a nearby farm, right in the backyard!”
"Ah! It's in the backyard, why didn't I see it just now?"
"In the newly built wooden house, Mrs. Guo and I have never done this. The landlady still does it. When you need milk, you can go there to express it! It's very convenient!"
"Zhang Bai is willing to eat it, but the food doesn't taste good!"
"It's okay. I always eat something when I'm hungry."
"Then use a wet nurse! Haven't you found anyone these days?"
"No, Mr. Guo Zhang doesn't know French, so she can only trouble the landlady. But with the cows at home, the landlady is much busier. She doesn't have as much free time as before!"
"Then I'll go out and ask tomorrow!" Shu Jinxi also knew that her mood was wrong, and she also knew that Wang Wenwu had been taking care of her mood, but when she thought of Yan'er!
Wang Wenwu saw that Shu Jinxi was not in a good mood, so he asked: "Let's leave Yan'er here to take care of the funeral affairs!"
"But there's nothing here!"
"Yan'er, since we don't have anything here, let's do what we do here!" Shu Jinxi shook his head and said: "No, let alone Taoist priests, money and paper, but there is not even a paper house, so Yan'er is down there.
, not even a house, no way!”
"Then how about we ask someone to set up a stand and cover it with paper paintings?" Shu Jinxi thought for a moment and said, "I will be a Taoist priest!" Wang Wenwu said in surprise: "You know how to do this?"
"Have you never eaten pork? Haven't you seen pigs running? In recent years, the people in the clan have aged a lot, and most of them know it! But the ones I know are all oil painters, and they have to paint on canvas!
"
"Then let's build a big one with easy-to-burn wood!" Shu Jinxi nodded! The next day, the first thing Wang Wenwu did when he went out was to find a wet nurse for Zhang Bai.
But too many French men died in the First World War, and France is a developed capitalist country, so the cost of living is naturally high. The cost of living is high because the economic foundation determines the choices of the French people.
The French Bourgeois Revolution gave France's small and medium-sized bourgeoisie, which suffered from unequal treatment, room for upward development. The increase in social equity and the strengthening of social mobility were reflected in people's lives, in order to pursue class leaps and let their
More motivation and more pressure in life!
When life becomes more stressful, children become a burden and pressure. The cost of education and housing make the hard-working middle class trapped, and having more children becomes a false proposition.
So after the end of World War I, the French government, deeply aware of the demographic dilemma, introduced a series of policies to encourage childbirth.
For example, bans on abortion, bans on birth control, and population compensation for high-income class infertility are all introduced in turn.
But it still didn't help. Instead, France's population growth rate entered an era of negative growth. The most direct situation is that Wang Wenwu searched around outside and couldn't find a suitable wet nurse. However, he successfully found someone for a small wooden house.
Do.
Wang Wenwu also asked someone to make a special mold for printing paper money. Wang Wenwu was afraid that the wooden house would not be easy to burn and would not be clean.
Prepare to put paper money inside the house. In the next few days, Wang Wenwu has been busy with this matter. The style of the house, Wang Wenwu did not ask the craftsmen to make it into a Chinese style. After all, Wang Wenwu could not tell, it was still a French-style small bungalow.
Shu Jinxi walked upstairs, watching the small house in the distance getting better and better, maybe this matter was settled, and Shu Jinxi would let go of the knot in his heart!
The neighbors all around also looked at the perfect wooden houses in the distance. After knowing that they were built by Chinese, they all asked the landlady about what they were doing!
The landlady told everyone what she knew. They all said that such an exquisite and beautiful little house had to be burned down in the end, but they all expressed curiosity about the Eastern funeral customs.
Shu Jinxi had just lost his son, so it was inconvenient to disturb him, but Wang Wenwu was not among them. Then he met him by chance and asked cautiously if he could help.
It is best to participate in the whole process. Originally Wang Wenwu only planned to burn down a house, but later more and more people asked. Wang Wenwu and Shu Jinxi discussed: "How about setting up a few tables here!"
"What about those people?" Wang Wenwu and Shu Jinxi knew each other in France, and they were Shu Jinxi's classmates, so Wang Wenwu said: "Then, let's say, your classmates and people around here! Plus Sun Muen!
"Shu Jinxi only said that he wanted Wang Wenwu to make up his mind.
Maybe Shu Jinxi needs such a ceremony to get over his sadness.
