Chapter 104 Xiao Cheng, I'm giving you a warning
The next morning, Cheng Xuyuan woke up from his sleep and felt a little dizzy.
It seems that drinking twice a day has some sequelae! When I went to Meng Dezhi's house last night, I didn't want to drink, but I chatted with Lao Meng and I didn't know why I drank.
It must be Meng Dezhi's fault, otherwise, how could he continue drinking after dinner? Rubbing his head, Cheng Xuyuan put on his cotton-padded jacket.
After pulling out the plug from the coal stove and adding some water to the tin kettle, Cheng Xuyuan walked towards the toilet.
Squatting back in the toilet surrounded by walls on all sides, Cheng Xuyuan felt a surge of emotion.
Although this place is much simpler than in the previous life, it is still much better than the toilet in my hometown which was made of adobe and thatch.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was packing up his inventory, he heard someone say, "Old Qi, why haven't you returned my history magazine to me yet? Haven't you finished reading it yet?"
"I have finished watching it, and my wife is watching it now."
"She only read half of it, and last night she said she wanted to recommend it to my father-in-law."
"To be honest, "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty" is really well written, but it's a pity that only 40,000 words were published. Alas, new content will have to wait for the next issue."
"At this rate, we won't be able to finish the series in the entire summer!"
As soon as Lao Qi finished speaking, the man who urged him to return the book said, "Lao Qi, ask your wife to read it quickly. I tell you, Lao Fu has borrowed it from me four or five times."
"Almost every time they see me, they ask me to borrow books. It's quite annoying."
The two of them left the bathroom while talking.
Cheng Xuyuan listened to the discussion between the two and smiled gently. He didn't know who Lao Qi was, but this brother really underestimated "Things about the Ming Dynasty".
How much can be serialized in half a year? At the rate of 40,000 words a month, it will take at least three or four years to complete the serialization.
After feeling relaxed physically and mentally, Cheng Xuyuan returned to his room.
By this time, the water was ready. He used a teacup to scoop half a cup of cold water from the tin bucket, and then added half a cup of hot water. Then Cheng Xuyuan took a toothbrush and went to the corridor to brush his teeth.
After a series of smooth operations, he threw the mouthwash water in a beautiful arc to the flower bed downstairs, and then applied a hot towel to his face. Only then did Cheng Xuyuan complete today's washing.
With a cup of hot tea and a pen, work officially begins.
Although he had other plans in mind, "Desire" was not yet completely finished, so he continued to write "Desire" in the morning.
Although the coal stove in the room was burning, Cheng Xuyuan still wrote slowly.
Every time at this time, he missed his old computer very much. If he had it, how much fun it would be to type away! After an hour of writing more than four pages of manuscript paper, Cheng Xuyuan felt his wrists were sore.
He put down the pen in his hand, listened to the noise from the neighbors around him, and then gently put down the pen.
The neighbors have already started making breakfast, so it’s time for me to go find food.
Let’s forget about cooking.
Imitation of a group of housewives cooking in the corridor, Cheng Xuyuan felt that he still couldn't do it.
Cheng Xuyuan, who was already familiar with life in the surrounding area, ordered a bowl of bald noodles for eight cents and two taels of food coupons at a nearby state-owned restaurant. After eating and drinking his fill, he drove bus No. 11 and strolled to the Nancheng District Cultural Center.
"Uncle Li, Happy New Year!" Cheng Xuyuan saw Old Li in the message room and bowed with a smile.
When Old Li saw Cheng Xuyuan, surprise flashed in his eyes: "Xiao Cheng, when did you come back?"
"I came back yesterday, and I'm here to work." Cheng Xuyuan took out a pack of Golden Bell cigarettes from his pocket and offered them to him enthusiastically, "Uncle Li, try our cigarettes."
Old Li took one and lit it. As the smoke rose, he said solemnly, "Xiao Cheng, I have to give you a warning!"
I'm going to ask you to smoke, and you're giving me a warning! But on the surface, Cheng Xuyuan still asked sincerely: "Uncle Li, please tell me."
"Since your novel was published, young girls have been coming to you non-stop."
"I'm telling you, you must not make any mistakes in this regard!"
"You are a married person, and your future is limitless!"
Old Li looked at Cheng Xuyuan with his bright eyes, as if to say, "You kid must control yourself."
Looking at Old Li's appearance, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.
When a little girl comes to see me, you come and give me instructions. This is too much.
Why don't you go and tell those girls! Fortunately, this old man Li also had good intentions, and he could only say: "Thank you, Uncle Li, I will definitely remember your teachings and won't mess around."
"By the way, if there is another girl looking for me, you can just say that I didn't come back, isn't that enough?" Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly.
Old Li frowned and said, "This is not a long-term solution!"
"But that's it for now."
After smoking a cigarette with Old Li, Cheng Xuyuan came to the writing group's office.
The office was empty, with no one in it.
Not to mention Qin Yewei and Ma Boyuan, veterans in collecting folk songs, even Shi Xuehong, who usually manned the stall, did not come.
It seems that Comrade Xiao Shi has been a little bit arrogant recently!
Thinking this in his mind, Cheng Xuyuan picked up a rag and started cleaning the office.
Half an hour later, when Cheng Xuyuan finished cleaning, Shi Xuehong came to the office in a panic.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was drinking tea, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Xiao Cheng, you are back?"
"I just came back yesterday." Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shi Xuehong who was wearing a red top and said with a smile: "Sister Xuehong, this dress is very beautiful!"
Shi Xuehong smiled and said, "It's beautiful, isn't it? I told you, I bought it at the Friendship Store during the Chinese New Year."
"I have a sister who has relatives living abroad. She sent a sum of money to their family and exchanged it for overseas remittance coupons. I was able to buy this because of her help."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the complacent Shi Xuehong, smiled and complimented her a few times, which made Shi Xuehong even happier.
Just as the two were talking, Qin Yewei and Ma Boyuan walked in.
The two of them were discussing chess as they walked, it was quite lively.
However, when the two saw Cheng Xuyuan, their expressions changed.
Then, Qin Yewei said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, you are back."
"I thought you couldn't come back until after the 15th!"
"Haha, how was the New Year?"
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said modestly: "Happy New Year, Team Leader Qin, and Happy New Year, Brother Ma."
"I had a great time at home this year. I wanted to stay at home for two more days, but my dad told me to go to work and sent me back!"
After a few pleasantries, Qin Yewei said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"
"Nothing at the moment!" Cheng Xuyuan couldn't guess what Qin Yewei was going to do, so his answer was ambiguous.
As a person, you should not say too much and you should not do too much. You should leave a way out for everything so that you can move forward and backward freely.
"Then you will accompany me to a meeting this afternoon. It's a New Year symposium organized by the Writing Department of the Municipal Cultural Center. Haha, the purpose of this symposium is to encourage everyone to produce more good works."
At this point, Qin Yewei laughed.
Produce more good works. Now Cheng Xuyuan's works have been reviewed in Wenhui Daily. Isn't that a masterpiece? If you introduce it to others, it will definitely bring you great honor.
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Ma Boyuan standing aside, and he suddenly realized that Ma Boyuan and Qin Yewei should usually go to this meeting together.
He smiled and said, "Team Leader, I'm still young and a little timid to attend such a meeting, or..."
Before Cheng Xuyuan finished speaking, Ma Boyuan interrupted him without any hesitation: "Xiao Cheng, don't worry about anything. Just go to the meeting boldly."
"You don't actually have to say anything, just go sit down and let them know who you are."
"I'll go over there too, just to see how those guys who usually brag about bullshit will do this time!"
Seeing Ma Boyuan's face full of anticipation for revenge, Cheng Xuyuan felt relieved.
He will have to go to school before he can stay in the cultural center for a month, so there is really no need to get involved in any bullshit.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Xuyuan guessed that Niu Changqing and Peng Xueli had come to the office, so he went to find them to cancel his leave.
Watching Cheng Xu go away, Qin Yewei filled his cup with water from the thermos while saying to Shi Xuehong, "Xuehong, you need to change your bad habits."
"You are still young. What do you want to learn in the future? A monkey's head, a mynah bird's mouth, an elephant's belly, a rabbit's legs. Think about it carefully. It will be good for your growth!"
Shi Xuehong stiffened her neck and said, "Team Leader, please don't wrongly accuse me. I'm very diligent."
"Diligent? Humph!" Qin Yewei knocked on the table and said, "The cleanliness of this room is obviously done by Xiao Cheng."
"If you clean it, there will be a layer of dust on the table."
Shi Xuehong, whose past was exposed, couldn't help but blush, but this was not the time to give in. She snorted and said, "Team Leader, you like Xiao Cheng so much, if you have the ability, let him continue to serve as a soldier for you!"
"Don't look for me if you have any problems in the future."
Qin Yewei looked at Shi Xuehong and shook his head seriously, "That won't work. I'll still have to count on you if something happens in the future."
Hearing this, Shi Xuehong was moved.
No matter what, Team Leader Qin still thinks highly of me. No matter how brilliant Xiao Cheng is, I, Shi Xuehong, am irreplaceable! However, Qin Yewei's next words almost broke her defense: "Xiao Cheng will go to college in two days. I can't count on him to work for me."
This sentence was like a critical hit, leaving Shi Xuehong speechless.
"Team leader, I will also be admitted to university this year." Shi Xuehong said, clenching her fists lightly.
Looking at Shi Xuehong with a determined face, Qin Yewei smiled but said nothing.
But his expression was full of deep disbelief.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know what happened in the office after he left.
When I knocked on Niu Changqing's office door, I saw Niu Changqing writing calligraphy.
Niu Changqing was very happy about Cheng Xuyuan's arrival. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he put down his pen and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, your novel "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is really well written. Even my proud daughter was moved to tears after reading this novel."
"To be honest, I really don't want you to go to college!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Director, I am an employee of our cultural center. Even if I go to college, I will still be your soldier."
Niu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, although you are going to college, you have a job, and according to the regulations, you should go to school with pay."
"I'll have someone check the regulations in this regard and get this done for you as soon as possible."
After reporting to Niu Changqing and Peng Xueli, Cheng Xuyuan ran to the cultural center office to borrow a phone and called Shen Yulin.
If you want to visit the Shen family, it is best to contact Shen Yulin first.
This is much better than just showing up at someone's door rashly.
