Tang Yuewen felt uncomfortable, and so did Jiang Yulou.
In his previous life, when "Yellow Earth" was released, he went to the cinema to support it. He burst into tears at the time.
At that time, he still thought, why is Cuiqiao's life so miserable? If he were asked to write, Cuiqiao and Gu Qing would definitely be together.
Unexpectedly, when he was reborn, he would become the person he hated.
When he wrote about Cuiqiao being washed away by the Yellow River, he felt sour in his heart. However, he did not change after all.
After all, the fate of the characters serves the plot.
After feeling uncomfortable and complaining for a while, Tang Yuewen finally wiped away her tears, raised her head and asked, "Have you decided where to publish it?"
"It's not up to me to decide where to publish it." Jiang Yulou smiled bitterly and scratched his head.
He has confidence in his work, but does not have excessive self-confidence.
He is just a newbie in the literary world, but he still has some skills.
Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" was rejected by the editor. As a newbie who has only published one work, how can he have the confidence to say that his work will definitely be published?
Tang Yuewen didn't understand that. She simply thought that "Yellow Earth" was so well written that publishing it was a matter of course.
Jiang Yulou said: "There is no rush to submit the manuscript. What you have read is only the first draft. There are still some areas that need to be discussed and there is room for improvement."
Tang Yuewen's eyes lit up, "That Cuiqiao..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yulou interrupted: "The ending cannot be changed."
The brightness in Tang Yuewen's eyes quickly dimmed. Although she knew it was an extravagant wish, she really wanted Cuiqiao and Gu Qing to end up together.
"Gu Gu."
At this moment, Tang Yuewen's stomach rang.
Her face turned red instantly.
Jiang Yulou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's wrong Yue Wen, are you hungry?"
"Well... yes... a bit." Tang Yuewen whispered shyly.
She didn't eat after school at noon so that she could quickly watch the follow-up to "Yellow Earth".
'I was obviously not hungry when I looked at it. 'The girl bit her lip.
Jiang Yulou suggested: "How about... I go get you something to eat?"
"Can you cook?" Tang Yuewen blinked, full of surprise.
"I know a little bit." Jiang Yulou said with a smile: "People in rural areas have to fend for themselves, so it's not uncommon to know how to cook."
"Yes." Tang Yuewen nodded, and volunteered: "What kind of food do you have at home? How about I come and help cook some vegetables."
Although the Jiang family is poor and the house is dilapidated, the kitchen is quite large and equipped with stoves and other equipment.
At home, she also helps her mother cook and stir-fries a few dishes. I can’t say how good the technology is, but it’s no problem for two people to make a meal together.
"You help me wash and chop the vegetables, and I'll cook them." Jiang Yulou's house had a stove, and he was afraid that the girl wouldn't be used to it.
"OK."
Tang Yuewen didn't hesitate and agreed readily.
So, the two began to divide work.
Jiang Yulou lit a fire and burned firewood, while Tang Yuewen washed and chopped vegetables.
After cutting the vegetables, Jiang Yulou started cooking.
Tang Yuewen was not idle either. While the boys were cooking, she was watching the fire.
"Yulou, have you ever thought about going to college?" At this time, she still had beautiful illusions about college life.
She glanced at Jiang Yulou who was cooking. It would be great if they could still be classmates in college.
Jiang Yulou moved for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "Of course I have thought about college."
Tang Yuewen asked expectantly: "Really? Then can we continue to be classmates in university?"
Jiang Yulou smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. You also know that my results are not ideal."
"Actually, your liberal arts scores are not bad, but math is holding you back. If you work hard, it may not be impossible to get into a good university." Tang Yuewen quickly cheered him up.
Not necessarily impossible?
Jiang Yulou has not missed any review during this period, but because he has missed a lot, he has a lot of homework to make up for.
As the girl said, you can go to college if you work hard, but whether you can get into the same college as the girl is a problem.
Tang Yuewen knew not to put too much pressure on him, so she changed the subject, "Yulou, have you ever thought about what kind of job you would do after graduating from college?"
Then, she asked and answered herself: "I have thought about being a teacher, a doctor, and even a reporter."
"Well, they are all pretty good careers." Jiang Yulou agreed.
"But..." Tang Yuewen thought of her family background, and her smile was full of bitterness: "I don't dare to think about those things. I will be satisfied if I can be a worker after graduation."
"Everything will be fine. Maybe there will be changes next year." Jiang Yulou comforted.
In fact, he remembered that the issue of Yue Wen's father was already being discussed in his previous life, and he would be officially rehabilitated next year.
Tang Yuewen forced a smile.
She suddenly lost interest in chatting and was filled with worries about the future.
"If I don't have a good job after graduating from college, do I still deserve to be with him?" Tang Yuewen thought distressedly.
Jiang Yulou suddenly said mysteriously: "I'm not trying to comfort you, I have real news."
"Really?" Tang Yuewen looked at him with wide eyes.
"You also know that I accidentally mentioned it when I was chatting with the leaders when I went to the county to give a lecture." Jiang Yulou added: "Of course I didn't mention anyone specifically, but the leaders are already studying some mistakes in the past. .”
Tang Yuewen said excitedly: "If it is true, that would be great."
"Thank you, Yulou."
"Why don't you thank me? I'll tell you what I know."
The girl looked at him with eyes full of gratitude and renewed hope for the future.
Soon, Jiang Yulou cooked three dishes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spicy and sour potato shreds, and braised pork with potatoes.
After the dishes were brought to the table, Jiang Yulou divided the bowls and chopsticks between the two of them.
“It smells so good!”
The dishes in front of her were so delicious that Tang Yuewen could hardly believe her eyes. These dishes were really made by the boy in front of her.
After Jiang Yulou wiped his hands, he said with a smile: "Don't just look at it, eat it and give me some advice."
"Then I'm welcome." Tang Yuewen said happily.
She first picked up a piece of scrambled egg with tomatoes, put it in her mouth, and chewed it gently, "Well, it's delicious!"
The scrambled eggs with tomatoes are sweet and sour, and are really a great addition to rice!
Then, she picked up two other dishes. The spicy and sour potato shreds were fragrant and crispy, delicious and refreshing. Not to mention the braised pork with potatoes, just smelling it will make you drool.
She swore that she had never eaten such delicious food... Well, of course it was a little worse than what her mother cooked.
In short, she ate a big bowl of rice during this meal, her face was red and her belly was round.
