Chapter 157, Scenery (ask for guaranteed monthly ticket!)

"December's Cultural Journey is trend-setting and innovative. His cultural research is generous and innovative. He has undoubtedly expanded the world of contemporary literature and made a huge contribution. Such talents are rare in a century and history will respect them. - Jia Pingtu."

Another famous writer openly praised the work of a famous writer in the newspaper.

"In the world of Chinese prose, there were the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties in ancient times, Lu Xun in the Republic of China, and now there is Twelve Moons. - Jin Yong."

Mr. Jin, who was far away in Hong Kong, happened to read Harvest magazine and praised it highly when he was interviewed by the news media.

It is as if December is placed on the same level as Lu Xun and the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties.

Mr. Jin Yong's original words: I accidentally read "Cultural Journey" last night. I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep for a long time. I even called Mr. Ba who was far away in Shanghai to ask about the follow-up of "Cultural Journey".
Pick up a newspaper, put it down, pick up a newspaper, put it down, pick up another newspaper.
Huang Zhaoyi didn't know how many newspapers she read in one night. As long as it was news about the writer December and "Cultural Journey", she would read it carefully and meticulously.

If she encounters comments from famous fellow writers, she will read them over and over again, chewing over them again and again, with bright eyes and full of energy.

So much so that her own sister couldn't help but ask, "Zhaoyi, you admire December so much, what is his real name?"

Huang Zhaoyi said nothing, still immersed in this literary feast.

Huang Xuqing, my elder sister, had just finished her housework, so she took off her apron and sat over to me: “You are already an adult, what are you thinking?

You won’t spend the rest of your life watching over this writer from afar, will you? He may have many children and grandchildren.”

Huang Zhaoyi said subconsciously: "He is not married yet."

"You really know the other party's specific information. I was wondering about it before. With your personality, you shouldn't be so passive." Huang Xuqing looked at her sister with a smile.

Huang Zhaoyi paused, put the newspaper aside, and looked up and said, "Sister, you don't have to beat around the bush to set me up. I just admire his writing purely, and I have no opinion of him as a person."

Huang Xuqing said earnestly, "Mom and Dad are very worried and have been keeping your personal affairs in mind. You said you are the same, and you don't even go home to avoid it."

Huang Zhaoyi stood up quickly, picked up her bag and walked out. "I'm not avoiding you, I just haven't met the right one yet. Please take care of my parents. I'll go back to visit them during the Chinese New Year."

Huang Xuqing watched her youngest sister leave without trying to keep her.

Because everything that needs to be said has been said over the years. My younger sister is now successful in her career and is a person with strong ideas. If she doesn't want to, no matter how much I say, it will be useless.

Moreover, because of a personal matter, my younger sister and the two elders in the family were at odds with each other as soon as they met. They were upset to see this, so they simply turned a blind eye.

Driving out of the villa, Huang Zhaoyi felt a little bored for a moment. As she drove the Mercedes Benz, she arrived at the Blue Sky Hotel unknowingly.

Same private room, same dishes, same wine. She drank while staring at the sky outside.

"Cultural Journey" blossomed and bore fruit in the outside world like an atomic bomb, causing a huge sensation in society.

Old Li's house is now as busy as a vegetable market. Every day people come to congratulate and flatter them, making Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e both happy and sad.

bedroom.

After his wife, who had been busy all day, went to bed, Li Jianguo said carefully: "Cultural Journey has a huge influence. Why don't we go out and avoid the limelight?"

Tian Run'e asked: "Where to hide?"

Then she said, "Now the red bricks have been baked, and the date for the construction of the new house has been set. How can we just leave?"

Hearing this, Li Jianguo sighed and said nothing.

Tian Run'e asked, "Are you feeling better today?"

Li Jianguo now feels more comfortable than ever before. "Much better, thanks to this plaster."

When talking about plasters, the couple thought of the Chen family, Chen Zijin, and Chen Xiaomi.

After a long time, Li Jianguo asked, "Run'e, I feel like you've been hiding something in your heart these days. Is it related to going to the capital?"

Knowing that she couldn't hide it from the person beside her, Tian Run'e was silent for a while, and said with a sad face: "For your health, I lost my face, it's nothing, I am mentally prepared.

But I am worried that Manzai and Chen Zijin will not be able to have a happy ending in the future."

Li Jianguo didn't understand, "Why can't it be ended? Are you still worried that Zhong Lan will not agree?"

Tian Run'e nodded and shook her head, "The Chen family is only one aspect. I am more worried that Manzai will abandon Zijin after having an affair with her. When the time comes, I will fall in love with someone else, but he will turn around and abandon Zijin."

Li Jianguo was enlightened.

Tian Run'e told the story of Manzai calling "Song Yu" in his dream, "It happened more than once, many times, and Lanlan also heard it several times."

Li Jianguo asked: "Does this girl Song Yu really exist?"

Tian Run'e nodded: "Yes, she does. I heard she's very beautiful, even prettier than Chen Zijin. This is exactly what I'm most worried about."

Li Jianguo thought for a while and asked, "Is Song Yu studying in Shanghai?"

Tian Run'e said: "In Peking University."

Li Jianguo looked puzzled.

Tian Run'e closed her eyes and said, "The daughter of the Xiao family is studying in Shanghai."

Li Jianguo was confused: "Which Xiao family?"

Tian Run'e said: "Which other Xiao family could it be? Of course it's the Xiao family of the town secretary."

At this point, she added, "I saw that girl several times when I was selling rice. She was prettier than a flower, really beautiful! This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a beautiful girl."

Li Jianguo's eyes widened, "Manzai went to Shanghai for her?"

Tian Run'e said: "It's almost right."

Li Jianguo asked: "Are you guessing, or do you have a basis for it?"

Tian Run'e slowly opened her eyes. "On August 8, I went to the market. I met them on the street. I called out to them from behind, but they didn't respond. They went into an alley together."

The "eldest sister" she mentioned refers to Li Jianguo's biological elder sister Li Ru, who was married in Weijiaduan, about ten miles south of the town.

Li Ru was in the shoe business and often sold her shoes wherever there was a market. She bumped into Li Heng and Xiao Han by chance that day, but as there were many people at the stall, she did not chase after them for fear that their shoes would be lost.

Li Jianguo was stunned, as if he was listening to a foreign language.

He knew that his son was dishonest, but he didn't expect him to be so dishonest!
If you don’t want to come, then don’t come. If you want to come, then three of you will come. He was confused for a moment.

The couple looked at each other for a while, and then Tian Run'e took the newspaper she had bought for the bedside table and said:
"Manzi is now famous, has plenty of money, and looks good. Shanghai is a glamorous place. If the daughter of the Xiao family is not tough enough, we will have to make worse plans."

It was the first time that Tian Run'e described her beloved son like this, and she felt a little resentful.

Of course, maybe she said that herself, but if someone else said it, she would fight to the death. Even her husband couldn't do it, because he was the apple of her eye.

At this moment, Li Jianguo's mind was a mess.

He had been a loyal and honest man all his life and had never treated anyone unfairly. He never expected his son to go against him.
For a moment, his mind was short-circuited and he couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Time passed by minute by minute, and I didn't know how much time had passed.
Li Jianguo turned his head stiffly, "Does the Xiao family know about this?"

Tian Run'e shook her head: "The day before yesterday, I delivered rice to the Xiao family, and I didn't find anything unusual about Wei Shiman and his wife. They must still be in the dark."

Li Jianguo rubbed his temple and comforted him: "Don't think too much about it, maybe they are just friends."

Tian Run'e said gently, "I hope I am overthinking it, but Manzai went to the Xiao family twice to carry rice, and he acted very strangely with the Xiao family's daughter under our noses.

But they just glanced at each other and went into the alley together. This is weird, there must be something fishy. Besides..."

At this point, she paused and continued, "Besides, what was our son like since he was young? Don't you know it? He likes to stick to pretty girls the most. That's how Chen Zijin got on the boat.

Look at Yang Yingwen again. Apart from not being pretty, what else is wrong with her? As a result, when she was little, Manzi would pick a fight with her as soon as he turned around. "

Li Jianguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So you already discovered it, why didn't you?"

Tian Run'e tilted her head, "Are you blaming me for not taking good care of it?"

Li Jianguo stammered.

Seeing her husband like this, Tian Run'e said softly, "You know what the Li family was like before. At that time, I thought it was good to be able to coax girls. At least I wouldn't worry about him being single in the future."

Li Jianguo sighed silently, feeling very guilty. Fudan University.

After saying goodbye to Li Xian, Chen Guifen and Liu Yue, Li Heng suddenly remembered something and immediately turned back to the newsstand outside the school and picked out and bought some influential newspapers.

I have been busy looking for insights, reading and writing during the summer vacation. I haven't paid attention to the news outside for a while. I feel like I am almost rusty and out of touch with society.

When I returned to dormitory 325, everyone was there.

Six people gathered in a circle and were arguing about women's affairs, but the focus of the argument today was not Liu Yue, but a girl named Zhou Shihe.

Li Guang shouted, "You didn't see her. Before today, I thought Liu Yue was beautiful enough, a stunning beauty.

But after seeing Zhou Shihe, I finally understood what it meant to be extremely beautiful, extremely beautiful, and the most beautiful woman in the world! My blood is still boiling now."

Hu Ping didn't believe it, "Is she really that beautiful? Prettier than Liu Yue?"

Li Guoyi also didn't believe it, and complained disdainfully: "Damn! Little Leo, do you know what the most beautiful thing in the world is?
If the Zhou Shihe you're talking about isn't that pretty, I'll use up all your shampoo this month."

Li Guang twisted his neck, which was stiff from the quarrel, and spitted, "Pretty? Pretty is nothing! It's nothing compared to temperament. I don't know if Zhou Shihe is prettier than Liu Yue? But if the full score for temperament is 100, I'll give her 200 points."

Zhou Zhangming's appetite was also completely whetted. "No matter how much you say, it's all empty talk. Seeing is believing. Where is she? Where did you see her? Take us to see her."

Li Guang turned around and walked towards the door: "Let's go, hurry up! Otherwise, I will go back to the dormitory."

With a shout, Li Guoyi, Hu Ping and Zhou Zhangming ran out of the door happily.

Tang Dailing also jumped off the bed, wearing a pair of slippers and chased after him.

The dormitory, which was bustling just now, was suddenly filled with only Li Heng and Zhang Bing.

Li Heng just came back and didn't hear the whole story. "Which college are you from? What makes Li Guang so excited?"

Zhang Bing shook his head: "Li Guang probably didn't know either. He only knew the girl's name was Zhou Shihe after he overheard her calling her name."

Li Heng put the newspaper on the bed and asked, "Lao Zhang, why don't you join in the fun?"

Zhang Bing stared at the book in front of him and shook his head. "I'm married. I'm much older than you guys, and my family isn't well off. Even if I run over and really fall in love, she won't be attracted to me. I won't cause myself more trouble."

After that, he looked up and asked, "Lao Li, you have such good external conditions, why don't you go?"

Li Heng picked up the toiletries and bath tub, "I don't need them. I hate chasing girls."

Zhang Bing put down the book and said, "Wait for me, I haven't showered yet, let's go together."

Li Heng stood at the door and waited for him to find some spare clothes before they went to the public bathhouse on the other side of the corridor.

Men take a quick shower, just a few minutes.

Seeing Zhang Bing patiently scrubbing every corner of the clothes, Li Heng asked: "Do you wash your own clothes at home?"

Zhang Bing said, "Not really. When I was studying, my wife would help me wash clothes. What about you? I feel like you hate doing laundry."

Li Heng didn't shy away from saying, "I can't tell you why, I just don't like it."

After washing and drying the clothes, Li Heng was reading newspapers one by one when he heard the voice of the dormitory manager downstairs:
"Li Heng from 325! Li Heng from 325! Someone is looking for you downstairs."

"Li Heng from 325! Li Heng from 325! Someone is looking for you downstairs."

Hearing this, Zhang Bing even joked: "Old Li, come down quickly. It's so late to find you, maybe it's a girl."

Li Heng smiled and thought to himself that it was Sun Manning looking for him?

Or ears of wheat?

After all, school has just started, I don’t know many people and our relationship is not close, so it is unlikely to be someone else.

When I came downstairs, they were indeed ears of wheat.

Now she is wearing a bright red top, the wide hem of which covers her tall and graceful figure. With the addition of her inner charm, every glance of hers is full of drama, which is particularly charming.

Li Heng walked out of the dormitory hall, "Mai Sui, why are you here so late?"

Mai Sui handed over a small box: "We just came back from a dorm dinner, this is the Pien Tze Huang Pearl Cream we bought. I thought you might not have time to buy it today because you're in a hurry, so I bought an extra box. Here, take it for tomorrow's military training."

Li Heng took the box and looked at it. "How much did you buy it for?"

Mai Sui smiled tenderly but didn't mention the price.

After opening it and smelling it in front of him, Li Heng said, "Actually, someone gave me sunscreen today."

Mai Sui asked: "Xiao Han gave it to you, right?"

Li Heng shook his head.

Mai Sui was curious: "Could it be a new student in our school?"

Li Heng nodded, "Yes, a girl in the class."

Mai Sui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "In that case, return the pearl cream to me, I will use it myself."

Li Heng was surprised: "You didn't buy it for yourself?"

"I bought it, but for girls, it's never too much." Mai Sui flipped her pretty right hand in front of her and gestured to give it to her.

Li Heng was speechless and didn't give it to him: "How can you take back something you gave away immediately? Do you have the nerve to do that?"

Mai Sui said: "The sunscreen that someone gave you specially must be very expensive. Mine is definitely not as good as theirs. It would be a waste for you to take it."

"Who said it was a waste? You wait for me here."

After that, Li Heng turned and walked into the dormitory hall, then returned to bedroom 325, picked up the L'Oreal and ran downstairs in one breath, "Hey, this is it, it's more useful for you girls, you gave me the pearl cream, I'll give you this, let's take turns."

Mai Sui leaned over to take a look: "It's all English, not a single Chinese character. Is it imported from abroad?"

"Yes, its full name is L'Oreal, an internationally renowned cosmetics brand. Its products are mainly aimed at women. You will find them more effective than I would." Li Heng lied and stuffed the L'Oreal into her pocket.

Mai Sui wanted to pull out, but Li Heng instinctively held her hand down.

Instantly, the two hands were folded together, and they looked at each other silently. Then she didn't move again. Li Heng took her hand away and said, "Okay, it's late, you can go back."

After he finished speaking, he thought about it and changed his words: "Forget it, it's not safe for you to be alone so late, I'll take you there."

Mai Sui smiled at him, turned and walked towards Dormitory Building No. 9.

Li Heng followed and asked side by side: "Are the students in the dormitory easy to get along with?"

Mai Sui replied: "It's pretty good at the moment."

Li Heng asked: "Are there any fellow villagers from southern Hunan?"

Mai Sui shook his head gently, "No, our dormitory has people from all over the country. Except for two from Jiangsu Province, the others are from one province each, very evenly distributed. How about your dormitory? How is it?"

"Our dormitory is okay." Then Li Heng talked about the situation in Room 325.

Mai Sui was surprised: "25? And married?"

Li Heng nodded and said, "It's hard to get into university. Not everyone is as smart as you. Many people repeat their studies for two or three years. There are definitely quite a few people in our school who are over 20 years old."

Thinking of those repeat schools in Shao City, Mai Sui seemed to understand: "It's good to have an older brother who is so much older than me in charge. Maybe it will help the unity of the dormitory."

"I think so too." Li Heng agreed.

They are all in the Handan campus. Although Building 4 is at the easternmost end, it is not particularly far from Building 9 and you can get there by walking.

Sun Manning was pleasantly surprised when she got the pearl cream. She even said that she forgot to buy it today and was planning to borrow one from her roommate.

Then the three of them found a tree and chatted for a while until the dormitory was about to close.
