Chapter 441: Have you joined the Writers Association?
Ye Ling was so angry at the Ye family that she let it out. Ye Xingjian got up and went back to the study. In fact, he was not too anxious to have a grandson. He was very busy and could not hold his grandson often even if he had one.
But people around him said it too much in his ears, and compared with Gu Erhui and Zhang Zijun's children, it seemed as if he was so desolate now that he had no grandchildren.
Gu Yimin and Ye Chi had become accustomed to others urging them to have children, intentionally or unintentionally. Regardless of whether they had truly let go in their hearts, neither of them mentioned the matter of having children. Today was Ye Chi's day off. Instead of driving back to the barracks, he went to the mountains outside Beijing. The two of them played for an entire afternoon before returning.
If Zhang Zijun knew how comfortable their life was, he would definitely regret having a child earlier. With Zhang Pangpang sandwiched between him and Erhui, everything was inconvenient.
After finally coming out of confinement, he could be intimate with his wife, but just when things were getting better and better and the passion was burning, Zhang Pangpang's loud cry interrupted everything.
So, is it better to have children early or late?
Gu Sanjing spent this holiday traveling around Kyoto. Occasionally, when she was daydreaming, she would wonder what she would do after retiring, but she couldn't come up with any good ideas for the time being, so she stopped thinking about it.
Soon the holiday was over, and she returned to the team for another round of intense training. Pei Yunxia designed a new training plan for her. Her main training event would be the three-meter springboard, with her partners remaining Zuo Mingyan and Qin Hanfei.
When he saw Qin Hanfei again, he felt a little awkward, but Gu Sanjing acted as if nothing had happened before, getting close to him and not too far away. After training together for a few days, Qin Hanfei became more natural.
Gu Siqing's studies are still very intense, mainly because she is studying two majors at the same time, philosophy and literature, and she has also started preparing a new book.
Compared with the previous two books, this book has a more grand background, more and more diverse characters, and a more exciting plot.
Moreover, she attached great importance to this book. Although she already had many scenes in her mind, she did not start writing them. She wanted to prepare more thoroughly, such as in-depth understanding and analysis of the social background, the setting of the characters and the development of their experiences, and the plot development.
It can be said that for this novel, she used up all her existing talents but it was not enough, she is still exploring and learning to improve herself.
That day, she was taking a literature class again. After class, her teacher, Xie Jihua, called her over and said, "Student Gu Siqing, I always thought you would choose our literature department, but I didn't expect you to choose the philosophy department instead."
Gu Siqing smiled at him and said, "I'm also studying literature."
Xie Jihua hummed and continued, "I've read both of your books. They're very good. The TV series is also well-made, with a novel theme."
Gu Siqing knew she must have something to say when she called her, but she just smiled and didn't ask. It was a common problem among intellectuals: they didn't speak directly. Although she didn't consider herself an intellectual now, she was surrounded by intellectuals and had to adapt to their rules.
After Xie Jihua praised Gu Siqing for a while, he got to the point, "Have you joined the Writers Association?"
Gu Siqing shook her head, "I don't think I'm qualified yet."
She indeed thinks so. Many writers in the National Writers Association have rich writing experience.
Without mentioning others, let's talk about Ling Pingying, who had some conflicts with her before. Although her character is not very good, her writing is indeed very good. Moreover, she once went to the countryside to work and experienced the hardships of that era firsthand. At least her experience is very rich.
Although she was reborn and her different experiences might have given her a different understanding of life, she really didn't dare to be arrogant in front of those people from the National Writers Association. She had read many contemporary writers, many of whom she admired, such as Mr. Yan Shi, the current chairman of the Writers Association.
"Siqing, you're being modest," Xie Jihua said with a smile, "The Writers Association stipulates that as long as you've published a book, have a recommender, and it's approved after discussion at a meeting, you'll be accepted. Many people in the Writers Association know your name."
Gu Siqing smiled again. She knew that many people in the Writers Association knew her. After all, she and Ling Pingying had been engaged in a war of words in the newspaper for many days.
"You joined the Writers Association, right?" Gu Siqing asked.
"Yes, if you want to join, I can be your recommender." Xie Jihua said.
"Thank you first. I'll think about it." Gu Siqing was mainly afraid that joining the Writers Association would bring too much trouble. She was already very busy and had no time to deal with all sorts of things.
But her attitude made Xie Jihua understand that she was refusing. Although he still had a smile on his face, it had faded a lot.
Seeing this, Gu Siqing explained, "I just don't have the energy to do anything else. I'm still preparing for a new book."
"I understand. You are studying two majors at the same time, so time is indeed tight. We can talk about this later." The smile on Xie Jihua's face brightened again. Gu Siqing chatted with him for a few more words, then said goodbye and returned to the dormitory.
I really don't like dealing with people like Xie Jihua. One of your words or expression may offend him, but he is a teacher and you will come into contact with him frequently in the future, so you must give him the necessary respect.
When people grow up, they have to face all kinds of people and things.
When they arrived at the dormitory, Hu Jiajia and Dong Jianhong had already gone to the cafeteria to eat, leaving Song Miaozhu alone. Gu Siqing took out a lunch box from the cabinet and asked Song Miaozhu, "Want to go to the cafeteria together?"
Song Miaozhu shook her head, and Gu Siqing turned to walk out the door, but was stopped by Song Miaozhu just as she reached the door. She turned around and saw Song Miaozhu with a flushed face and pursed lips, as if she had something to say but was too shy to speak.
"What's the matter?" Gu Siqing asked.
Song Miaozhu is introverted and even a little self-deprecating. She must be like this now because of something important.
"Siqing, can you lend me some money?" Song Miaozhu said, clenching her hands tightly. She was already too self-respecting, and she felt humbled when she asked her classmates for money.
"Oh, how much?" Gu Siqing said as she took out her wallet and prepared to take out some money, but then she heard Song Miaozhu say, "Five hundred."
Gu Siqing stopped taking the money. Although five hundred yuan was not a lot for her, it was a worker's annual salary. It was impossible for her to carry so much money in her wallet. And why did Song Miaozhu need so much money?
Their school doesn't charge tuition, so their only daily expenses are food, but the food in the school cafeteria is very cheap. Song Miaozhu needs so much money, is there something wrong at home?
Thinking of this, she asked: "I don't have so much money now, why do you need so much?"
Song Miaozhu lowered her head and hesitated for a long time before saying, "My mother came to Kyoto. She wants to set up a stall to sell things and needs some money."
