Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Update

Although Fu Mingze still can't make pancakes, his cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds after serving pregnant women for more than half a year, and he can now cook delicious dishes.

Shen Shaoyuan, his father-in-law, whose cooking skills have not improved at all for decades, is compared to him and is like scum.

Fu Mingze is busy cooking in the kitchen, and the father and daughter are sitting in the small living room drinking tea and chatting.

"When are you going to the capital?" Shen Shaoyuan asked.

"Wait until I get into college." Shen Moer said while eating sour apricots, "I think Liu Yinshuang means that she will definitely be able to take the college entrance examination next year at the latest. Moreover, judging from the current situation, it should be about the same."

The father and daughter had discussed Liu Yinshuang privately. They themselves were "different", so naturally they were more accepting of Liu Yinshuang.

If they were to say that they had inexplicably arrived in a new world and replaced the identities of Shen Laoqi and Shen Moer in this world, then Liu Yinshuang should be "starting over again."

Women in this world can also participate in the "imperial examination", which is indeed quite fresh to Shen Shaoyuan. Even though he has been in this world for so many years and has seen women do countless things that would not be allowed in the Great Liang, he has never seen the college entrance examination after all.

Shen Shaoyuan is very supportive of Shen Moer's college entrance examination.

In the Liang Dynasty, even though his daughter was of noble status and extremely intelligent, it was still impossible for her to take the imperial examinations and go to the court.

But in Shen Shaoyuan's heart, he always felt that his brother's princes were not much more capable than his daughter, they just had the advantage of status.

Now that she has changed her world, his daughter is really good at everything.

College entrance examination, being a college student, going to the capital... his daughter's future is still broad.

"It just so happens that I received a reply from the Capital Publishing House today. They want to publish the comic strip I drew, and asked if I am interested in being an art editor." Shen Shaoyuan said with a smile.

Shen Moer was surprised: "Really? That's great!"

In recent years, newspapers and magazines of all sizes have been re-published, and many publishing houses that were closed down have also resumed operations. After nearly a decade of silence, the cultural world is cautiously reviving. Since the beginning of the year, many places have shown signs of regrouping.

Since Shen Shaoyuan became fascinated with comics a few years ago, he has been looking for comics everywhere. When he had collected all the comics that could be found on the market, he was bored and started drawing comics himself.

In fact, what Shen Shaoyuan wanted to draw most was the story of the Great Liang Dynasty, such as the power struggles in the court, the harem struggles, and the wars between countries, but the overall environment obviously did not allow it, so he looked for materials from people around him, and successively drew the story of a kiln worker who had experienced hardships and was inspired, and the story of the second embroidery factory in the southern province from its establishment to its development and prosperity, which can be regarded as drawing materials locally.

As Shen Moer often said, her father really had no talent in "serious things", but he really had extraordinary talents in other things outside of "serious things".

Take these two comic strip stories for example. In terms of the material itself, there is definitely a plot, but the fun is actually insufficient. It is impossible to be as fascinating and exciting as comic strips such as "Chicken Feather Letter" and "Land Mine Warfare".

But Shen Shaoyuan made the story full of ups and downs, and with his excellent painting skills, Shen Moer can say without guilt that her father's comic strips are not inferior to any familiar comic strips on the market.

Some time ago, I don't know where Shen Shaoyuan got the addresses and contact information of some publishing houses, and sent a few sample drafts. Shen Moer saw that they were all sent to publishing houses in the capital.

Although Shen Moer is very confident in her father's level, after all, this is not Daliang, and her father is no longer the world-famous King Rui. What if he doesn't know the gold and jade? It is entirely possible that the manuscript will be rejected.

Actually, this happened a month or two ago. Shen Moer guessed that her father’s manuscript was most likely rejected, but she didn’t bring it up. Anyway, her father would be happy when the baby came out. He would be busy taking care of the baby, so how could he have time to think about comic strips?

Who knew that it was accepted!

“Will it be published immediately?”

Shen Moer was a little impatient. When her little kid can understand comic strips, he can see the comic strips drawn by his own grandma!

Well, he can also learn about his mother’s “business history” through comic strips.

Under Liu Yinshuang's strong advocacy, the embroidery factory set up a "factory history room" to display some images, text materials, awards and other commemorative items since the establishment of the embroidery factory. Liu Yinshuang said that these are the "founding history" of their Southern Province Second Embroidery Factory. Shen

Moer decided that after her father's comic strip was published, she would buy a set of information about the embroidery factory and put it in the "factory history room".

"I don't think so soon. The editor's letter said that they had just returned to the capital from the place where they were sent down to work. There is a lot of work to be done, and a lot of work needs to be done from scratch, so it will take at least until next year." Shen Shaoyuan was a little proud. "If you go to the capital, I will naturally go with you. Don't worry, your father will definitely be taken care of."

Shen Moer smiled: "Of course, my father is the best."

When Fu Mingze came out with the plate, he happened to hear his wife feeding his father-in-law some sweet talk, and asked casually: "Why, is there any good news, Dad?"

The father-in-law has worked in the publicity department of the kiln factory for five years. He has made a three-step jump all the way, from a temporary worker to a regular worker to a deputy section chief. Last year, he was successfully promoted to the position of section chief.

Their former section chief Xu Weiguo was transferred to the Security Section. He, a rough guy, was finally able to leave the Propaganda Section, and he was simply overjoyed.

Fu Mingze couldn't think of anything good that his father-in-law could do recently that would be worthy of Shen Moer's bragging.

Shen Moer didn't keep him in suspense: "Dad sent a sample manuscript to the publishing house in the capital two months ago. Didn't you go to the province for a meeting during that time? I forgot to tell you later."

She smiled and said, "Dad said that he received a reply from the publishing house today. Both samples have passed the review and will probably be officially published next year or the year after next."

Fu Mingze knew that his father-in-law was drawing comic strips. Not only him, but his apprentice Zhou Ping'an was also drawing.

The relationship between the master and his apprentice is quite interesting. Sometimes they praise each other for their good drawings, but sometimes they argue with each other, saying that the other's drawings are not good enough or the plot design is too stiff. After a quarrel, they will lock themselves in their rooms to continue to revise their works. After the revision, they will read each other's works and praise each other... Fu Mingze watched the interaction between his father-in-law and his apprentice, and he understood how his factory director Shen's character was cultivated. Fu Mingze

had seen the comic strips drawn by his father-in-law, and honestly, he also felt that his father-in-law's comic strips were completely up to the level of publication, but he didn't expect that a publishing house would contact him so quickly.

"That's such a happy event."

Fu Mingze immediately joined in the praise, "The comic strips drawn by my father are more ornamental and readable than many comic strips on the market. They should indeed be published."

Shen Mo'er glanced at Fu Zhiqing , couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips.

A very good person like Fu Zhiqing will unconsciously hold others to his own standards, so it is not easy to hear him praise others.

But when it comes to dealing with his father-in-law, Fu Zhiqing was a little awkward at the beginning, but now he is very familiar with it. When he praises his father-in-law, he is straightforward and not stiff, and he is very good at it.

It happened that I had cooked some good dishes today, so Shen Shaoyuan took some wine from his room. Weng and his son-in-law had a few drinks with the dishes as a way to celebrate.

Shen Moer couldn't drink, so she drank a small glass of malted milk.

Fu Mingze was thinking at first that his father-in-law was really good at drinking, and he still had some after drinking for so many years. But after a few glasses of wine, he felt a little drunk. He didn't think about the wine anymore, but quietly began to think about how to confess to his wife more easily.

I'm afraid it's difficult.

If they had just got married, he said he would have some concerns in his heart. It's understandable that he didn't mention it.

But they have been married for so many years, and he has never told Shen Moer the true situation of his family. Fu Mingze is really afraid that if he opens his mouth, his wife will be upset by him.

But in fact, hiding This kind of thing, in itself, becomes harder to talk about as time goes by.

Fu Mingze poured himself another glass of wine, thinking, at least, he must not mention it before the baby is born, in case his factory manager Shen gets emotional and gives birth prematurely or becomes unwell, then it would be a loss

. After she gives birth, she will find a time when she is in a good mood to tell him.

Shen Shaoyuan glanced at his son-in-law from the side, and inexplicably felt that the wine his son-in-law drank was not meant to celebrate him, but to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

He stretched out two fingers and tapped them lightly on the table, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something troubling you?"

Fu Mingze held the wine cup and shook his head subconsciously. He looked at Shen Shaoyuan blankly, and was stunned for two seconds before he casually found a I suddenly thought about whether Zheng Jiamin and his friends could find jobs after they returned to the city.

According to the news from the previous two days, Jiangbei County has decided to arrange for people who have been in the countryside for more than five years to work in the countryside. The educated youth returned to the city, and they happened to be the ones who met the conditions. Recently, Zheng Jiamin and Wang Qiutong have already started to prepare to return to the city.

Of course, according to the policy, even if they have been sent to the countryside for more than five years, as long as they get married in the local area, they cannot return. City.

Therefore, two educated youth like Cheng Tao and Xing Fangjie who have started families, and those like him who have started families with local members, are not eligible for the return policy.

Cheng Tao and Xing Fangjie are open-minded. One of them is teaching and the other is working as a The deputy director of the embroidery factory has his own job and career, and his children have long been accustomed to life here. Returning to the city may not be more comfortable than it is now.

If the policy does not allow it, they don't have to be in a dilemma.

But some The educated youth did not think so, especially those who had married local members in order to have a better life. Many of them were now clamoring for divorce.

Fu Mingze thought that with such a large number of people returning to the city, there might not be that many jobs in the city. It is provided to educated youth returning to the city, but it is still unknown how everyone's life will be like by then. For people like Zheng Jiamin and Wang Qiutong who have good family conditions, it is better. For those whose family conditions are not good, it may not be more comfortable than staying in the countryside.

In fact, from the information he has seen, he always feels that the country should have done a good job in the past one or two years. The college entrance examination will be resumed.

I just don't know if people like them will be qualified to take the exam.

Fu Mingze naturally wants to return to the capital, but the premise is that his wife can also go to the capital.

If there is a chance to return to the capital, I don't know if he will Is Director Jia Shen willing to give up the embroidery factory and go back with him?

Oh, no, before that, he has to confess his "crime" to his wife.

As Fu Mingze thought about it, he felt more and more dizzy. His mind was in a turmoil. He thought for a long time and finally wanted to return to the matter that was hanging in his mind. Suddenly, his brows were furrowed and he looked blankly. Staring at the half plate of stir-fried water spinach in front of him.

"Is he drunk?" Shen Shaoyuan glanced at Fu Mingze and asked uncertainly.

Shen Moer looked at Fu Mingze carefully and nodded uncertainly: "Look at him. A bit like him. "

The main reason is that Fu Zhiqing usually doesn't have any unnecessary expressions on his face. Now that he's drunk, except for the slightly red ears, his face color hasn't changed much. Even his eyes are still deep and dark.

The only thing is that he looks a little dazed.

"Fu Mingze?"

Shen Moer tried to call.

Fu Mingze turned his head to look at her, not knowing what he was thinking of. His expression changed slightly, and he reached out to grab her hand, muttering, "Wife, I didn't mean it. You must forgive me. Don't be angry. Don't be angry. You have to take care of your own body, otherwise our daughter will feel uncomfortable in your belly. "

Shen Moer thought to herself that it seemed that he really drank too much. It was rare for Fu Zhiqing to drink too much. This was very different from his usual calm and self-controlled appearance. Shen Moer She thought her own Fu Zhiqing was really adorable, so she deliberately picked a quarrel and asked, "Are you concerned about me or your daughter?"

Fu Mingze looked at her deeply, lowered his head and rubbed the back of her hand with his forehead, "Of course I care about you the most, The lady is naturally concerned too."

Tsk, you are quite good at talking.

Shen Moer raised her eyebrows and asked again: "What bad things have you done that make you so afraid that I will be angry?"

Fu Mingze looked up at her again, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and said: "I...

" The word, banged his head on the table, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Shen Moer: "..."
