Chapter 626: Fame brings trouble
Cheng Xuyuan would naturally not hide the matter of going to Hong Kong from Fang Yuqing.
The next day after he made the decision, he invited Fang Yuqing to go with him.
Fang Yuqing and Cheng Xuyuan are actually husband and wife now.
After the two men went out, neither Fang Gengsheng nor Meng Fanjin could say anything.
However, what Cheng Xuyuan did not expect was that after hearing his proposal, Fang Yuqing showed a happy smile on her face, but in the end, she rejected Cheng Xuyuan's invitation.
"Why?" Cheng Xuyuan asked puzzledly.
Fang Yuqing said: "I still have some work to do during the summer vacation."
"Of course this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I think you should take advantage of the summer vacation to visit little An An."
"This trip to Hong Kong is a good opportunity."
"If I follow, Shen Yumo won't regard me as a thorn in her side, but she will definitely feel uncomfortable."
"So, I won't go this time."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Fang Yuqing's serious expression and knew that she was not lying.
Although he also thought about going to East China Sea again after returning from Hong Kong, he didn't expect that Fang Yuqing had already made arrangements for him.
Cheng Xuyuan gently hugged Fang Yuqing and said, "We can go to Xiangjiang first, come back from Xiangjiang, and then go to Donghai to see Xiao An'an."
Fang Yuqing said casually: "I have occupied you for such a long time, it's time to let Xiao Anan meet your father."
"Otherwise, Xiao An'an will have a problem with me."
Seeing Fang Yuqing's determination, Cheng Xuyuan stopped trying to persuade her.
Because if I say more, I'll seem a bit hypocritical.
So on the third day after the official holiday, Cheng Xuyuan boarded a plane to Donghai.
At that time, flying was not only expensive, but also required a letter of introduction, so ordinary people could not afford to fly at all.
But this is not a problem at all for Cheng Xuyuan.
With the hot sales of Game of Thrones, it can be said that Cheng Xuyuan's income has begun to grow rapidly.
In this case, air tickets are naturally not a problem.
Wearing a sun hat, Cheng Xuyuan was sent to the airport by Fang Yuqing.
This time when he went to Hong Kong, Cheng Xuyuan was very low-key.
After he got on the plane, he picked up a book and started reading casually.
In Cheng Xuyuan's opinion, this journey took basically just over two hours and passed quickly.
But just after the plane took off, someone in front of him started talking loudly.
The topic of discussion was this year's Mao Dun Literature Prize.
In fact, this had nothing to do with Cheng Xuyuan. Everyone liked to talk about it out of interest, but what he didn't expect was that the two people who were talking accidentally talked about his work.
"Cheng Xuyuan's journey to Guandong actually has many problems, such as his attitude towards traditional martial arts..."
"I think there is still a big gap between Cheng Xuyuan's works and those of the older generation."
"So I think it's good that he can make it to the final."
“It’s unlikely that you will win the award.”
Although Cheng Xuyuan didn't like to hear such words, he was not going to refute them.
After all, no one can say that everyone likes what they write.
In this case, he pretended not to hear it.
But Cheng Xuyuan couldn't bear to listen to what was said next.
Then someone said, "I basically don't read anything Cheng Xuyuan wrote."
"What the hell is he writing about?"
"Novels like Crossing the Guandong and Soldiers Assault are full of loopholes."
"in particular……"
If the problems mentioned by the person speaking exist, Cheng Xuyuan can only accept them.
But after listening to what this person said, Cheng Xuyuan found that this person might not even have read his works, but was just criticizing them randomly.
This made Cheng Xuyuan a little unhappy.
He tapped the front seat lightly and said, "Hearing you two say this, I really admire you very much."
"I wonder what works you two have, so I can go back and read them."
The two people who were talking did not expect someone to interrupt them. It was inconvenient for the two of them to look back while sitting on the plane, and Cheng Xuyuan was wearing a sun hat, so they only saw Cheng Xuyuan as a young man.
They didn't think much about it, thinking that Cheng Xuyuan really appreciated their opinions, so they smiled and said, "Young man, we don't have many works, but they are all excellent."
"For example, Mr. Zhao writes very good poems."
"Some time ago, I published a group of poems in Poetry Magazine."
Hearing this introduction, a smile flashed in Cheng Xuyuan's eyes.
Although he didn't know what this person wrote, he had no impression of it in the library in his mind, so it was obvious that this person's poems were not very good.
So he smiled and said, "Teacher Zhao, I wonder if you could recite this poem of yours to open my eyes."
Teacher Zhao laughed and said, "It's just for everyone to discuss. I don't dare to claim that I've opened your eyes."
As he spoke, Teacher Zhao recited a poem which Cheng Xuyuan considered to be of average quality.
It can be said that there is nothing outstanding.
It’s not my fault that I don’t have any impression of it in my mind.
He immediately said to Teacher Zhao: "Teacher Zhao, this poem you wrote is really great."
"I think it's a waste of talent to just publish in poetry magazines."
"Based on Mr. Zhao's literary talent, it should at least be published in People's Literature."
"By the way, have you submitted your work to People's Literature?"
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Teacher Zhao sweat on his face.
He actually submitted his work to People's Literature, but they thought his poem was not very good, so they rejected it directly.
The fact that it was able to be published in the Poetry Magazine was also the result of his many revisions.
"No, after I finished writing this poem, I showed it to a friend in a poetry magazine and left immediately."
There was a hint of hesitation in Mr. Zhao's words.
Cheng Xuyuan seemed not to notice this and praised Teacher Zhao highly.
According to Cheng Xuyuan's ability, many comments were made easily, so he quickly praised these two people to the point of making them feel a little flattered.
"Brother, you really are my soulmate."
"What's your name, brother? We'll keep in touch later."
Teacher Zhao's voice was full of admiration for Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan said so much just for this moment.
He smiled and said, "Compared to Teacher Zhao, I am far behind. My name is Cheng Xuyuan, and I have several pen names. The least famous one is Xu Lingyun."
As soon as Cheng Xuyuan said this, Teacher Zhao was stunned.
Cheng Xuyuan, Xu Lingyun...
At this moment, he seemed to be stuck by the neck.
Just now he and his companions were talking nonsense, saying that Cheng Xuyuan's work was not very good? This was actually to show that he was extraordinary.
But Cheng Xuyuan pretended not to know and praised their two mediocre works to the sky.
If they were so happy just now, they were so sad now.
The reason why these two people belittled Cheng Xuyuan was to show off themselves.
But the most painful thing about this kind of thing is that the person they are belittling is right next to them.
What was even more uncomfortable was that this person played with the two of them for a long time as if they were fools.
"You...did you do this on purpose?" There was a slight tremor in Teacher Zhao's voice.
Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly: "Teacher Zhao, you misunderstood me."
"I really admire you two."
"I plan to tell some friends about our encounter this time, so that they can know about the two pearls who have been hidden in the dust."
Teacher Zhao wanted to say something, but his companion touched his shoulder and signaled him to be quiet.
The two men stopped talking and the surroundings became quiet.
However, this also made many people look at Cheng Xuyuan.
Someone even took out a book and asked someone to pass it to him: "Teacher Cheng, I really like your book "Crossing Guandong". I hope you can sign it for me."
Looking at the book handed over, Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand, wrote his name, and then added a blessing.
His action led to more books being handed over.
In just over ten minutes, more than twenty novels by Cheng Xuyuan were handed over. The most common ones were about the Ming Dynasty and Crossing the Guandong.
This shows how popular these works are.
There were only about a hundred people on the plane, and more than twenty of them brought Cheng Xuyuan's works. This alone shows how popular Cheng Xuyuan is.
Teacher Zhao and the other person felt like they were sitting on pins and needles at this moment.
They really think that they are clowns.
The plane landed, and just as Cheng Xuyuan was about to leave, several crew members came over with a camera.
They are all fans of Cheng Xuyuan's books and hope to take a photo with Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan did not refuse this request. He took a few photos and pushed his luggage off the plane.
There are taxis at the airport, but they all require foreign exchange coupons.
Cheng Xuyuan had plenty of foreign exchange coupons, so he took a taxi and came directly to the Bund.
Before coming, Cheng Xuyuan had already talked to Shen Yumo on the phone, so when he knocked on Shen Yumo's door, he saw Xiao An An playing in the yard.
At this time, little An An is already one and a half years old.
Walking has become very steady.
When he saw Cheng Xuyuan, he seemed to have some impression of him, but he didn't dare to recognize him. He just stared at Cheng Xuyuan who was walking towards him.
Cheng Xuyuan picked up his chubby son and kissed little An'an twice on the face. Then he said to Shen Yumo who was standing at the door: "Yumo, how have you been recently?"
In fact, when Cheng Xuyuan came, he had already thought of many ways to greet people.
But after these methods go through his mind, they will be rejected.
Some seem too polite, while others seem too intimate.
So after careful consideration, Cheng Xuyuan finally chose this most common sentence.
Not too close, not too far.
Shen Yumo didn't feel there was anything wrong with Cheng Xuyuan's greeting.
She said very calmly: "It's okay, but little An An has become a little naughty."
At this point, she looked at her watch and said, "You've been on the plane for half a day and you must be tired. Come in and take a rest."
"I'll go cook."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and was about to pick up little An An when he heard someone say, "Sister, whether she's hungry or not is none of your business."
"They are all going to get married, so if you are hungry, you should find a wife now."
As these words were spoken, Li Yufei came out.
When Cheng Xuyuan saw Li Yufei, a thought came to his mind, that is, how could he meet her no matter where he was.
"Why are you here?" Although Cheng Xuyuan felt it was impolite to ask, he still couldn't help asking.
Li Yufei snorted and laughed: "Why am I here? This is your home, I can't be here?"
Li Yufei's words made Cheng Xuyuan a little confused about what to say.
To say that this house was bought by Cheng Xuyuan, but...
"Yufei, how can you talk like that?" Shen Yumo glared at Li Yufei, then said to Cheng Xuyuan, "Xuyuan, Yufei came here by train after her holiday."
"You two came here one after the other."
Li Yufei quickly waved her hands and said, "Sister, don't compare me with others."
"Others take planes, but I take trains. How far am I from that?"
Cheng Xuyuan realized that no matter what he said at this moment, Li Yufei would criticize him.
So at this time, he simply chose not to speak.
Can't you say it? I won't say anything now, let's see what you can do? He directly carried Xiao An'an and walked towards the living room.
Li Yufei wanted to follow in, but Shen Yumo stopped her and said, "Let's go, let's go cook."
"Sister, I think you should just break up with him. It won't do you any good to keep pestering him like this." Li Yufei glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "They've even agreed on a date for the wedding."
"Do you think he will invite you to his wedding?"
At this time, Shen Yumo patted Li Yufei on the shoulder and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to stay here, go back to Yanjing."
"I'll buy you a plane ticket."
Li Yufei naturally didn't want to go back to Yanjing. She smiled at Shen Yumo and stopped talking.
Cheng Xuyuan carried little An An to the living room and took out the toys he brought from Yanjing.
Although little An An has a lot of toys, the father and son are still very happy playing with them.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was teasing his son, Li Yufei suddenly walked in and asked, "Cheng Xuyuan, are you coming to Donghai this time just to look after the child?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I will stay in Donghai for two days, and then I will go to Xiangjiang."
"Huh, I knew it..." Li Yufei said, and then said nothing else.
Cheng Xuyuan also ignored Li Yufei. He knew Li Yufei's character. The more he paid attention to her, the more angry she would become.
So ignoring her is the best option.
It was at this time that Shen Yumo started to prepare dinner.
As the bowls and chopsticks were placed one by one, a sumptuous lunch was served.
There were fish, shrimps, meat and a few vegetarian dishes. When these dishes were put together, it was obvious that Shen Yumo put a lot of thought into this meal.
In addition to helping with the work, Cheng Xuyuan also praised several well-cooked dishes during the meal, making the dining atmosphere very good.
Just as the meal was coming to an end, Li Yufei suddenly said, "Cheng Xuyuan, many people are talking about my sister and you now. What do you think we should do?"
