Chapter 592 We Will Also Have Children
There are usually many details to consider when dividing fish.
For example, the freshest fish must be given to the most distinguished guests! This is easy to do at the wine table on weekdays.
After all, the people eating at a table can always be divided into one, two, three, and four.
As long as you can distinguish them like one, two, three, and four, there will be no problem in sorting the fish.
Cheng Xuyuan had divided fish in his previous life, but when he was dividing fish in this situation, a hint of solemnity appeared on Cheng Xuyuan's face.
This is not easy to divide.
After all, Fang Yuqing and Shen Yumo, one is his fiancée, and the other is his ex-wife, and that ex-wife has a child with her.
This most delicious fish meat doesn't seem to be that good no matter who you give it to.
But after Li Yufei said this, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to make a distinction.
He hesitated for a moment, then his eyes fell on the fish.
It's really terrible. If I had known what would happen today, what kind of fish would I cook? Li Yufei, who was sitting on the side, looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a smiling look.
At this moment, she even had a feeling of gloating.
Cheng Xuyuan, aren't you going to invite my sister and Fang Yuqing to dinner? Hey, let me see what you do? Let's see who you give the best meat to?
This time, no matter who you give it to, you will offend the other one! Although Cheng Xuyuan understood Li Yufei's thoughts and hated her a little, he could only bear it at this moment.
After all, this meal still needs to be eaten.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to divide the fish the same way he would divide it at a table, Fang Yuqing said, "Xuyuan, this fish is close to me, let me divide it."
As he spoke, he reached out to Cheng Xuyuan for a spoon.
Cheng Xuyuan couldn't understand the meaning of Fang Yuqing's words. Fang Yuqing felt that Cheng Xuyuan was in a difficult situation, so she took the initiative to take over the matter.
Although it seemed a bit unfair to push this matter to Fang Yuqing, Cheng Xuyuan felt that this seemed to be the most appropriate way.
What's more, Fang Yuqing brought it up.
In a flash, he handed the spoon in his hand to Fang Yuqing.
When Li Yufei saw Fang Yuqing took the spoon, she felt a little reluctant. Just as she was about to speak, she was met with Shen Yumo's stern gaze.
Although her sister didn't say anything, Li Yufei saw a warning in her eyes.
Although she felt somewhat unconvinced, she did not continue speaking.
"Sister Yumo, it is said that the meat in the belly of a fish is the most tender. Please try it." Fang Yuqing seemed not to have noticed Li Yufei's expression. She smiled and cut off a piece of fish with a spoon and handed it to Shen Yumo.
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Thank you Yuqing."
Later, Fang Yuqing gave Li Yufei and Cheng Xuyuan a piece of fish each. Although she didn't say much, the atmosphere created by the fish distribution made Li Yufei disappear completely.
This situation made Cheng Xuyuan feel relieved.
Although she was still a little unconvinced at this time, Li Yufei, who had been warned by her sister, did not do anything weird afterwards.
The meal went smoothly.
Although little An An didn't eat much, he was very excited when faced with the table full of dishes. He kept using his clear little baby voice to add to the fun of the meal.
Just after finishing his meal and when Cheng Xuyuan was about to make tea, there was a knock on the door.
When Cheng Xuyuan arrived at the gate, he saw Shen Yulin standing there.
I glanced at the time. It was only two o'clock and Shen Yulin had already arrived.
It seems that Shen Yulin was also worried that his sister would be wronged by Cheng Xuyuan, so he came to pick her up in advance.
Although Cheng Xuyuan secretly complained about his second uncle's behavior, he still quickly went to greet him.
"Brother Yulin, we are just about to make tea, come over and have some."
Facing Cheng Xuyuan's invitation, Shen Yulin hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked solemnly, "How was the meal?"
Shen Yulin was so serious that he would definitely not just ask about the meal.
Cheng Xuyuan knew exactly what he was asking. After a moment's thought, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "We had a very harmonious meal."
A gleam of disbelief flashed in Shen Yulin's eyes.
However, in the face of these, Cheng Xuyuan didn't say much, and looked as if it was up to you to believe it or not.
"Xuyuan, I won't drink this tea." Shen Yulin hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have some things to do here. I have to go do some work after picking up Yu Mo and the others."
"Let's go back first."
"When we have time later, I'll treat you to a meal."
Although Cheng Xuyuan was a little reluctant to leave Xiao Anan, he couldn't let Shen Yulin wait outside all the time.
What's more, Shen Yulin has already said that he has other things to do.
So Cheng Xuyuan could only go to Shen Yumo and tell her what Shen Yulin meant.
At this time, Shen Yumo was holding Xiao Anan, who was already feeling a little sleepy, and talking to Fang Yuqing. The main person they were talking to was Xiao Anan.
As the two talked, they laughed from time to time, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.
But Cheng Xuyuan felt that the possibility of the two of them having a good conversation was too small.
Even if two people do not hate each other, some problems will always exist.
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say that Shen Yulin was waiting, Li Yufei muttered, "Second brother is really something. He came to pick me up so early. I wanted to stay a little longer."
Hearing Li Yufei say this, Cheng Xuyuan curled his lips and thought that Shen Yumo and Xiao Anan could stay for a while, but you should not stay.
Stay wherever you have room.
Shen Yumo glanced at Li Yufei and said, "Okay, since Second Brother is here to pick us up, let's go back."
"Don't delay Second Brother's business too much."
As she spoke, she picked up the child and said to Cheng Xuyuan, "Then we'll leave first."
"If you have anything, contact me later."
Cheng Xuyuan knew that he couldn't keep her now, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's contact each other later."
The black sedan went away quickly. As he watched the car becoming increasingly blurry, Cheng Xuyuan sighed softly.
This meal seemed to be very harmonious, but Cheng Xuyuan knew that his goal was not achieved this time.
Although Shen Yumo and Fang Yuqing seemed to be getting along well, the gap between them had not disappeared.
It was just hidden by two people.
Hiding does not mean not existing.
"Xuyuan, little An'an is very cute. If you miss him, you can go to Donghai to see him."
Fang Yuqing came to Cheng Xuyuan's side, gently took his arm and said, "I really hope our child can be as cute as little An'an."
When Cheng Xuyuan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
He held Fang Yuqing's hand and said, "Our children will naturally be just as cute."
Just as Cheng Xuyuan and the others were heading back home, Li Yufei had already said to Shen Yulin, "Brother, I really had a hard time eating this meal."
"If it weren't for my sister, I would never have gone to this meal."
Looking at Li Yufei who was willing to risk her life for him, Shen Yumo said calmly, "Yufei, what you did today was a bit too much."
"For example, what's the point of making sarcastic remarks about Fang Yuqing?"
"Also, when eating fish, you asked Cheng Xuyuan to share which fish, isn't that embarrassing for him?"
Listening to her sister's words, Li Yufei said, "Sister, I'm making things difficult for him just to defend you."
"Please treat you and Xiao An'an to a meal, and bring Fang Yuqing along."
"I get angry when I see Fang Yuqing acting like a mistress."
Shen Yumo said: "Why are you so angry?"
"That is Fang Yuqing's future home. It is only natural for her to act like the owner."
"I'm telling you, don't hold a grudge against Fang Yuqing over this matter in the future."
Although she didn't quite agree with her sister's warning, Li Yufei still said, "I understand."
Shen Yumo knew that his sister might not hear what he said.
But at this moment, she had no other choice.
Watching the increasing number of pedestrians on the street, Shen Yumo said to Fang Yulin, "Second brother, please buy me a sleeper ticket in the next two days. I plan to take Xiao An'an back to Donghai."
"Yumo, why are you leaving so early? The Lantern Festival hasn't even come yet." Shen Yulin became anxious when he heard that Shen Yumo was about to leave.
No matter what happened to Shen Yumo and Cheng Xuyuan, Shen Yulin would feel reluctant if she left at this time.
Li Yufei also said: "Sister, if you feel it is inconvenient to live with Cheng Xuyuan, you can live somewhere else."
"Hasn't our family found a place for you to stay?"
"Besides, even if you go back, you can't take the train. You should take a plane and let Cheng Xuyuan pay for the ticket."
Listening to Li Yufei's words, Shen Yumo glared at her and said, "Okay, don't say these things anymore."
"Cheng Xuyuan doesn't owe me anything, why do you keep mentioning him?"
Shen Yulin said: "Yumo, if you feel it's inconvenient to live with Cheng Xuyuan, just come to my place."
"Your sister-in-law and I can go home and stay for two days."
"No matter what, we have to wait until after the Lantern Festival before leaving."
"Everyone, have a good time."
Shen Yumo looked at Shen Yulin with a serious expression and sighed softly.
She also wanted to go back to Donghai after the Lantern Festival, but it was really inconvenient now.
So when faced with Shen Yulin's proposal, she did not respond immediately, but pondered.
Li Yufei looked at her sister and snorted, "It's all Cheng Xuyuan's fault. Why would he invite me to dinner if there's nothing wrong?"
After Cheng Xuyuan sent Fang Yuqing home, he started to get busy.
After all, the Lantern Festival has not yet passed, and it is still the New Year, so he should take advantage of this time to visit some relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year.
For example, Mr. Wan, and people like Mr. Zhang who gave him a lot of help.
Although you don't have to give expensive gifts, you still have to show due respect.
While Cheng Xuyuan was busy dealing with social relationships, Liu Xinwu had already finished watching Crossing the Guandong.
It is said that Liu Xinwu was very busy during the Chinese New Year, but after reading Crossing the Guandong, Liu Xinwu spent most of his time reading.
I watch it during the day and at night, and I can say that I forget to eat and sleep.
When I finished reading the last page, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Sitting at the desk, Liu Xinwu looked at the thick manuscript, his heart filled with emotion.
He had a feeling in his heart that he had to express, and he wanted to express it on paper.
"Xinwu, why aren't you asleep yet?" The wife woke up in the middle of the night and looked at Liu Xinwu who was in a daze and asked with concern.
"I want to write something, you take a rest first." Liu Xinwu said without raising his head.
In the past, Liu Xinwu’s wife has always supported his writing.
But now, when she heard Liu Xinwu's words, she immediately said anxiously: "Don't you see what time it is now? What are you still writing?"
"Can't you write it tomorrow?"
Liu Xinwu waved his hand and said, "I just finished watching Cheng Xuyuan's Crossing the Guandong today, so I have a lot of feelings."
"If I wake up tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll forget it again."
"You take a rest. I'll just write a short story of a few hundred words and it will be finished soon."
Seeing Liu Xinwu who was determined to write, his wife was unhappy but said helplessly: "Okay, then you should write quickly and go to bed after you finish."
"Okay, go to bed first, I'll be there in a minute."
After looking at Liu Xinwu's expression, his wife turned away and went to sleep.
Looking at his wife leaving, Liu Xinwu picked up the pen and started writing quickly.
"…Crossing the Great Wall not only describes the struggle of Zhu Kaishan's family in Northeast China, but also shows the historical background and social changes of that era. It also reflects broader social phenomena and characteristics of the times through the twists and turns of the fate of the Zhu family…"
In one breath, Liu Xinwu wrote more than ten pages of manuscript paper, and finally wrote down everything that was in his mind.
However, after writing this, he discovered that the time on the clock at home had already pointed to five o'clock in the morning.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xinwu gently folded the manuscript paper and then carefully returned to the bedroom.
Liu Xinwu slept until the afternoon, had a simple meal, and then came to the editorial department of People's Literature with the manuscript of "Crossing the Guandong".
At this time, most people in the editorial department had already returned to work, but the New Year had just passed, so everyone was not in a very good state.
However, when they saw Liu Xinwu, everyone pretended to read the manuscript seriously.
Liu Xinwu did not force the issue. Instead, he called several key editors over in a deep voice, then waved the manuscript in his hand and said, "This is Cheng Xuyuan's Crossing the Guandong. I just finished reading it."
“I think this manuscript is very well written.”
“As long as it is published, it will definitely be welcomed by readers.”
“So this is our first post this year.”
Everyone present had great faith in Liu Xinwu's vision. Moreover, the author of the novel in his hand was Cheng Xuyuan, so there was no reason to doubt it.
"Editor-in-chief, let me take a look first." Old Chen, who was sitting next to Liu Xinwu, quickly took the manuscript.
Seeing Lao Chen's actions, the other people also became anxious. An editor who was about the same age as Lao Chen said, "Lao Chen, please give me the manuscript quickly. I'll read it first, and then you can read it."
"Brother Chen, give me the one at the back, I'll watch from the middle."
"Editor-in-chief, according to ..."
Looking at several subordinates who wanted to grab the manuscript paper, Liu Xinwu hurriedly said, "Stop fighting, just look at them one by one."
"Cheng Xuyuan only has this one manuscript. It will be troublesome if there is a dispute."
As soon as he said this, no one worked on the manuscript, but everyone was still arguing about who would read the manuscript first, and no one was willing to give in.
Under such circumstances, Liu Xinwu had no intention of staying any longer.
At this moment, he still had the urge to express what he felt.
After a moment of hesitation, he walked towards the Yanjing Writers Association.
Cheng Xuyuan should still be living in the courtyard.
However, to Liu Xinwu's surprise, when he arrived at Cheng Xuyuan's residence, he found that the door was locked and Cheng Xuyuan was not at home.
For a moment, I felt like I was looking for a hermit but couldn't find him.
But just when he was about to leave, he saw Li Tuo and Chen Jianxun coming over.
The three of them were also acquaintances. After greeting each other, Liu Xinwu asked anxiously, "Do you know where Cheng Xuyuan went?"
Li Tuo said: "You came earlier than us, and you couldn't see him, so we naturally don't know either."
"What do you want from Cheng Xuyuan?"
Liu Xinwu did not hide his purpose for coming. He said in a deep voice, "I watched Cheng Xuyuan's Crossing the Guandong, and I had a lot of ideas in my mind, so I came here to discuss with him."
"What about you? Do you know where he went?"
Looking at Liu Xinwu who looked serious, Li Tuo said, "We came here to take him to a party. As for where he is going now, I really don't know."
At this point, Li Tuo smiled at Liu Xinwu and said, "Old Liu, since we can't find Cheng Xuyuan, why don't you come with us to attend this party."
“They are all young authors who are studying in Yenching.”
If it were a weekday, Liu Xinwu might attend such a gathering.
But now, his mind is full of thoughts about crossing Guandong.
I don't have the energy to attend this kind of party at this moment.
So he waved his hand and said, "Li Tuo, I won't go over."
"I'll wait for Cheng Xuyuan and see when he comes back."
Chen Jianxun and Li Tuo saw that Liu Xinwu looked determined, so they didn't try to persuade him. They had already made an appointment with someone, so they waited for Cheng Xuyuan for a while and left quickly.
After more than half an hour, Liu Xinwu became a little anxious as he couldn't wait for Cheng Xuyuan.
Just then, he saw two people walking towards the courtyard where Cheng Xuyuan lived.
Seeing this situation, he felt something in his heart.
Could it be that Cheng Xuyuan is back?
But when I got closer, I found that it was Chen Huaikai and a handsome young man in his twenties who looked a bit like Chen Huaikai.
"Director Chen, why are you here?" Liu Xinwu also knew Chen Huaikai, and he was very respectful to this senior who was older than him.
Chen Huaikai smiled and said, "I came over to talk to Xuyuan about something."
"Isn't he at home?"
After hearing Chen Huaikai's intention, Liu Xinwu spread his hands and said, "I came here to look for Cheng Xuyuan, but I don't know where this guy went."
"I've been waiting for him for an hour, but he didn't come back."
When Chen Huaikai heard that Liu Xinwu had been waiting for an hour, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
The reason he came here this time, in addition to chatting with Cheng Xuyuan about the later content of Farewell My Concubine, was to take advantage of the New Year to let his son come over to wish Cheng Xuyuan a happy new year.
At the very least, you have to make yourself familiar to the crowd.
It’s just that my son had something to do a few days ago, so he was dragged here today.
But unexpectedly, Cheng Xuyuan didn't have time today.
This made Chen Huaikai feel a little disappointed.
"Then let's wait a moment too." Chen Huaikai glared at his son who looked like he was about to leave, and said in a deep voice.
Looking at the anxious Chen Huaikai, Liu Xinwu wondered where Cheng Xuyuan had gone. The house was crowded with people, but he, the owner, was not there.
