Su Qingmeng came to the yard to relax her eyes after getting tired from writing, and she heard Lin Xiuyao giving chicken soup to her son. "Kang Kang has been a persistent child since he was young. He is really great." She was afraid that her son would not have enough chicken soup, so she praised him more.
Kang Kang nodded proudly and said, "I'm just that great."
Su Qingmeng sat down on the rocking chair. After living in an apartment building for a long time, she missed the courtyard of the quadrangle. The fragrance of crabapple blossoms wafted through the wind, and she closed her eyes to rest.
Lin Xiuyao went to the kitchen and cut a fruit platter with cherries, sand apples, watermelon, and fragrant pears. "Wife, have some fruit."
Su Qingmeng picked up a cherry and asked, "When are we going back to Northeast China?"
"The college entrance examination results will be released in mid-August. Let's wait until Qiuqiu's results come out before going back." Lin Xiuyao handed his son a piece of watermelon, and Kang Kang swallowed it in one gulp.
"Then let's go to Zhongguancun to buy a computer tomorrow." She didn't buy one in Shanghai, so she was waiting to go to Zhongguancun Electronic Street to experience it.
"Okay, let's go this afternoon. I'm going to buy a car this morning and handle the paperwork." Tang Yanghua had an appointment with him today. A friend of his had sold a used Xiali to Lin Xiuyao for 15,000 yuan. This car was reserved for the Beijing company, usually used to transport clothing and other things, so it didn't need to be too good.
Kang Kang: "Are we going to have a computer and a car at home?" He opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Kang Kang always felt that the family didn't have much money. Normally, the couple seldom mentioned money in front of him, and Su Qingmeng also tried to prevent him from developing a habit of spending lavishly. So maybe he was a bit stingy, which led to his son having no idea about the family savings.
Recently, the family moved to a bigger house, and the new house is very luxurious. Kang Kang is a little confused, "Do we still have money?"
The two exchanged glances. It was time to let his son know a little about the family situation. Lin Xiuyao said, "You know, Dad runs a company. It's been doing well these past two years and making some money. Your mom also gets quite a bit of royalties from her writings, so our family is, well, generally wealthy, right?"
Su Qingmeng: "Yes, if you want something related to study, or if you want to learn a course, just tell me. It's not easy for mom and dad to raise you." As for toys and the like, she would reward her son only when he behaved well.
"But Mom wants you to cherish the things you have and the opportunities you have to learn, and not waste them. You see, your dad works very hard every time he's on a business trip, and it's not easy for him to make money, so you need to be moderate in your spending."
Lin Xiuyao: "Your mother is also very hard-working and brain-intensive writing every day."
Kang Kang hugged his parents one by one and said, "I understand, Dad, Mom, when I grow up I will make a lot of money and spend it on you."
"Good son, we will be waiting for you then."
Kang Kang was full of motivation: "I'm going to read a book."
Looking at his back, Su Qingmeng felt a pang of conscience for deceiving her son, "Alas!"
Lin Xiuyao and she huddled together on a recliner. "Don't sigh. It's good to put some pressure on your son. You can't raise a second-generation rich kid who just eats and waits for death."
In the evening, the three of them went to a restaurant and had Su Qingmeng's favorite fried tripe. Every time she returned to Beijing, she didn't want to cook at home. She would rather eat out three meals a day. But Beijing's food was more to her liking.
The next morning, Lin Xiuyao bought some fried dough sticks and tofu pudding. After dinner, he went to handle the transfer procedures for his second-hand car. At noon, the three of them had a barbecue meal, and he drove them to Haidian District.
Kang Kang was very excited sitting in the car, "Is this our family car from now on?" He touched here and there.
Lin Xiuyao: "I'll drive this one in Beijing. When we get back to Shanghai, we'll buy a new car that's better than this one."
Kang Kang: It seems that his family is richer than he thought.
They got off the bus at Zhongguancun Electronic Street. As soon as they got off the bus, Su Qingmeng saw the famous landmark - the DNA double helix sculpture. "Come, let's take a photo," the family of three took a photo in front of the sculpture.
At present, Zhongguancun is still the world of "two connections and two seas". They bought a top-of-the-line Lenovo 386 and a typewriter, spending nearly 20,000 yuan.
Kang Kang calculated in his mind that his pocket money for three years was only 542 yuan, and 20,000 yuan was equivalent to 37 of his pocket money. How long would it take him to save up so much money? It turned out that he still had to study hard. The teacher said that knowledge was the most valuable wealth, so he should study hard.
After returning home, the father and son studied the computer with great interest. Current computers don't have many functions, and Su Qingmeng is not interested, but the two of them played with it with great enthusiasm, clicking here and there.
Su Qingmeng: "I'm going to the publishing house."
Bai Fu was pleasantly surprised to see her: "Writer Su, you're back in Beijing? Your novel is about to be published."
She was really surprised. Su Qingmeng's books were very popular. Basically every book was published and sold very well, especially her love stories, which were very popular.
Su Qingmeng: "Oh, thank you for your hard work, Sister Bai. I brought a new book this time."
Bai Fu: "What pen name? What's the subject matter?"
Su Qingmeng: "Love, express it with sinking water." This is an urban workplace novel. The hero and heroine are both lawyers, and it is a love story of equal strength.
"Is it similar to 'The Magistrate's Court'?" Bai Fu asked. This Hong Kong drama received a warm response after it was introduced to the mainland last year, and she had also watched it.
"Yeah," Su Qingmeng nodded, "It's the same theme." TV dramas about this profession have been popular for a long time. When she was a child, her favorite one was "Legal Blonde". At that time, she wanted to become a lawyer when she grew up. Although her childhood fantasy was far from reality, she still fulfilled her dream by writing a book.
"Wait a moment," Bai Fu poured her tea, "Let me take a look first."
Su Qingmeng's book was as story-filled as ever, captivating readers to read on. Bai Fu flipped through it briefly and said, "No problem. I'll arrange for it to be serialized."
She kept sending Su Qingmeng out the door. The new intern was curious: "Sister Bai, who is this? You are so polite."
Bai Fu: "Her name is Su Qingmeng."
The intern was surprised: "She is Writer Su, Sister Bai," she said angrily, "You should have told me just now, I still want an autograph!"
She particularly likes Su Qingmeng's writing style, especially her view on love. The heroines in her works all have their own abilities and never rely on the male protagonists to save them. The male protagonists are always the icing on the cake, giving people the feeling that if you bloom, butterflies will come.
Bai Fu laughed: "You are still a fan of writer Su. Don't worry, she will stay in Beijing until September. I will bring you with me next time I visit her."
The intern was excited: "Thank you, Sister Bai."
