Chapter 592 Is this going to be a son-in-law?
Gu Siqing followed Mr. Yan Shi and his group to a nearby restaurant. Those who could be with Mr. Yan Shi were naturally big shots, so Gu Siqing sat outside and listened to their conversation.
They are all big guys, she has no right to speak.
They chatted for a while, and Mr. Yanshi looked at Gu Siqing and said, "Xiao Gu, your book 'Zhi Tu' should be published soon."
Gu Siqing quickly put down the water cup in her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, I have already negotiated with the publishing house."
Mr. Yanshi nodded, "Zhi Tu is very well written."
"In fact, when I was writing this book, I was very nervous, worried that I wouldn't be able to write it well, so I read a lot of materials."
When the opportunity came, Gu Siqing naturally had to seize it. She started by talking about collecting information, and then talked about her original intention of writing this book and the ideas she wanted to express.
Her voice was clear and articulate, and everyone in the room listened intently. Afterward, someone sitting next to Mr. Yan Shi said, "It took several years just to prepare this book. It's no accident that 'Zhi Tu' is so literary and thought-provoking."
Others also began to agree. They had all read "Zhi Tu". Even though they were all famous domestic writers and had created excellent literary works, they had to say that "Zhi Tu" was the most outstanding work in literary creation in recent years.
After everyone chatted about Zhitu for a while, Mr. Yanshi asked Gu Siqing with a smile, "Are there any plans to translate Zhitu into foreign languages and distribute it abroad?"
Mr. Yan Shi's question is well-founded. China's reform and opening-up policy has achieved initial success, and literature must keep pace with the times. Authorities are beginning to encourage excellent domestic works to be exported. This seminar primarily addresses this issue.
"I want to translate it into English first to test the waters." Gu Siqing said.
Mr. Yanshi nodded after listening, and then asked, "Have you found a suitable translator?"
He naturally knew how important translation was, and thought that if Gu Siqing didn't have a suitable translator, he would introduce her to two. But then she said, "I plan to translate it myself."
Everyone was stunned by her words, then they remembered that she was a Kyoto University graduate and had a Harvard-educated fiancé, so her English was naturally good. No translator could understand their own work as well as the author himself.
"That's great." Mr. Yan Shi laughed and said, "That's why I say the future of Chinese literature lies in the young people."
Everyone started praising Gu Siqing again, which made her feel embarrassed.
The meal was very pleasant, and Gu Siqing felt confident that Zhitu had a good chance of winning the Qingyuan Literature Award.
I went home happily, and now I can focus on my translation work. I hope this book will receive a good response abroad. As I entered the courtyard, I saw Xu Yusen standing in the yard, talking to a few workers, while Gu Sanjing was sitting at the table eating snacks and playing cards.
Gu Siqing walked over, sat next to Gu Sanjing and asked, "What are you doing?"
Gu Sanjing glanced at Xu Yusen and said, "He wants to break through the middle of that wall."
The wall she was talking about was the wall between Xu Yusen's house and the Gu family's house.
"Have our parents agreed?" Gu Siqing asked.
Xu Yusen’s action is very meaningful!
Gu Sanjing: "Agreed."
At this time, Xu Yusen came over and said to the two of them, "Come into the house. It will be a bit dirty when we start working."
Gu Siqing got up and walked into the house. Gu Sanjing collected her playing cards. Xu Yusen picked up a pile of snacks on the table, followed the two sisters into the house, and then went out to supervise.
Gu Siqing moved closer to Gu Sanjing and asked quietly, "What does he mean?"
Gu Sanjing pursed her lips and said, "He wants to get married."
"Ah?" Gu Siqing exclaimed in surprise, "How can you get married if you haven't even graduated yet?"
"When he heard that you were getting married, he started thinking about getting married." Gu Sanjing said this with a slightly red face.
Gu Siqing understood instantly that this was because they were afraid of impulsive actions, so they decided to just get married. However, the school did not have any regulations prohibiting marriage while in school.
"Have you told our parents?" Gu Siqing asked again.
"No," Gu Sanjing said, "Isn't he doing something to make his parents happy first?"
Gu Siqing: "Are you going to be a live-in son-in-law?"
"He said that as long as we are in Kyoto in the future, we will live in his house." Gu Sanjing said.
Once the wall was broken down, the two houses became almost the same as one. The four sisters got married one after another, and although they all lived in Kyoto, they didn't live together after all, and the house became increasingly lonely. Xu Yusen's catering to their parents' preferences was truly a win-win for them.
"What about you? Do you want to get married?" Gu Siqing asked.
"I can do anything."
Gu Siqing stopped asking, and this also meant she wanted to get married. They had been dating for quite some time, and if Sanjing wasn't still in school, they could have gotten married.
Listening to the tinkling sounds outside, the two sisters chatted while watching TV. In the afternoon, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju returned home from work. The wall had been opened, but it still needed some repairs to make it look nice!
Xu Yusen naturally stayed at Gu's house for dinner. After dinner, Gu Siqing returned to her room so as not to disturb them from talking about business.
In the main hall, Xu Yusen first talked about the progress of breaking through the wall, and then said, "I told Sanjing before that I would settle in Kyoto in the next few years. Now that the wall is broken through, it will be more convenient for Sanjing and I to go home."
Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju were stunned when they heard his words, and then they heard him say, "Uncle, Aunt, I want to marry Sanjing, I hope you can agree."
Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju finally understood why they broke through the wall! But think about it, if the wall was broken through, it would be like a house. If they got married, San Jing would be the same as if she had never been married.
They both felt quite comfortable, but getting married seemed a bit
"Sanjing hasn't graduated yet." Wang Yueju said.
Xu Yusen clenched the hand on his knee and said, "I want to get the marriage certificate first, and then we can hold the wedding after Sanjing graduates."
Wang Yueju and Gu Jianguo exchanged a glance, then looked at Gu Sanjing and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Marriage is fine." Gu Sanjing said directly.
Wang Yueju and Gu Jianguo looked at each other again, and then Gu Jianguo said, "Marriage is not a trivial matter. Let's think about it."
"Uncle, Auntie," Xu Yusen said seriously to Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju, "I promise that I will support Sanjing's work in the future and will do my best to make her happy."
Xu Yusen was so serious that Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju were both moved. Gu Jianguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "We all believe you, but we'll think about the marriage later."
"good."
Xu Yusen knew Sanjing hadn't graduated yet, so it was a bit early to talk to her parents about marriage. It was understandable that they wouldn't agree right away. But if they didn't agree, he would keep trying.
