Shuangmendong, Fenghuangtang Alley, Zhenghuan's house.
Li Yihua was helping Luo Meilan prepare lunch, and Zhenghuan's father Jin Chengjun was also in the living room.
"What kind of noodles is this?" Ichika asked.
"Have you never eaten spaghetti before?" Luo Meilan said with a smile.
"It's the first time I've seen him since I was born." Ichika replied with a smile.
In South Korea in 1988, Western food was a rarity in the lives of ordinary people and a daily enjoyment of the rich.
Because the eldest son Zhengfeng was diagnosed with congenital heart disease in Luo Meilan's family, in order to afford the high medical expenses, the life of Luo Meilan's family three years ago was not as good as that of Deshan's family now.
Fortunately, after all the hardships, Zhengfeng won the Olympic lottery. Now that he is rich, of course he wants to enjoy all the things that he had not enjoyed before. Luo Meilan also hopes to reflect the wealth of her family in her daily life.
"Why did Aze win the banquet at our house?" Jin Chengjun asked doubtfully.
"What can a widower cook? I asked him to buy a chicken and Aze will come too." Luo Meilan answered her husband's question angrily.
"Well, we can finally meet our Master Cui."
As a talented Go player, Cui Ze is currently a sixth-dan professional player and has just won the largest Go competition in South Korea this year.
"If you have a daughter, it would be nice to recruit her as your son-in-law." Jin Chengjun said with a smile.
"I fell in love with Aze first, and I want him to be my son-in-law." Yihua also joined in.
"You're so greedy. Gu Yu isn't enough?" Luo Meilan also joked.
"I have two daughters at home, haha~"
"Haha~" The three of them were talking and laughing, chatting while busy.
"Paula won't come today?"
"I said I was busy studying at school and came back late every Saturday." Ichika said nonchalantly.
"Mom, where are you~"
"Paula?" Jin Chengjun heard the voice and looked out the door in confusion.
Paula was going on a school trip, so she went home early to pack her luggage. What was worse was that Paula's favorite denim jacket was worn by Deshan to school.
Suddenly the whole family was in a panic. Ichika hurriedly contacted his youngest son Yuhui. Yuhui hurried to his sister's school, and Deshan rushed home at an alarming speed. At home, Paula was losing her temper and yelling.
Finally, Deshan finally caught up, and Ichika pretended to have forgotten it in the washing machine. When Paula saw the wet clothes, she yelled at her mother. Deshan was dissatisfied with her attitude, and the two fought again. Come on, it’s really a lively and warm family environment.
At noon, the meals for Zhenghuan's family have been prepared. The adults are in the living room, Zhengfeng is in his room with Pearl, and Aze, his son and the children are still on the way.
"Didi-di-di~" the doorbell rang.
"Why ring the doorbell when the door is open?"
"I'm really worried about him." Mei Lan also complained.
"Hello everyone." Phoenix Hall walked in with two fried chickens and bowed.
"Why are you here? Your neck will break waiting for you." Shanying joked with him. The two are fellow villagers and have known each other for a long time.
"On a day like today, it would be great to close the store early. My son makes so much money and works so hard." Luo Meilan also scolded Aze's father.
"Then where is my money? It's Aze's money. Where should I put this?" Phoenix Hall said embarrassedly.
"What are you buying two for? Husband, take one and send it to the child's room." Luo Meilan glanced at it and directed Jin Chengjun.
"Aze is coming?" Shanying asked.
"He will come, because he doesn't go to school, and his only friends are a few peers in the alley, and he hasn't relaxed for a long time."
Aze's father sat down and said with emotion. After Jin Chengjun delivered fried chicken to the child's room, he picked up the camera and started filming. However, Luo Meilan slapped him and almost blinded his eyes. His wife was not satisfied, so Jin Chengjun could only The camera was put aside.
At this time, the children also returned home one after another, said hello to the adults and entered Zhenghuan's room. However, Deshan and Jin Chengjun's way of greeting was really exaggerated, acting out a boring sitcom, and Gu Yu was Those watching shook their heads.
"You're really sick. Why hasn't Aze come yet?" Cheng Dongyi rolled his eyes at the vulgar taste of his daughter and Zhenghuan's father.
"He's in the back, and Deshan asked him to rent a comic."
Gu Yu and the adults bowed slightly and entered Zhenghuan's room with Deshan. The adults also lamented that among these children, Aze did not get the treatment of a big star.
As soon as Gu Yu and his children entered the room, they immediately tore up the fried chicken and snatched it back and forth. A Ze who came in behind might not be able to eat anything.
"Aze, how much bonus did you get for winning this competition?" Donglong was still chewing chicken drumsticks in his mouth.
"Fifty million." Aze replied blankly as soon as he entered the door and had not yet sat down.
"Fifty million!" Several children were surprised when they heard it, so Gu Yu took this opportunity and tore off the wings again, trying to eat more deliciously.
"Fried rice cake! Fried rice cake!" Several people shouted, asking Aze to treat him. However, the children were not greedy. What they wanted to share among friends was joy.
Fifty million won, in that era, you could buy a house in Silver Horse Apartments, but in 2020, a house costs more than 1.5 billion. For example, when Gu Yu's parents died unexpectedly, they still bought insurance, and only lost three Fifty million.
"However, rather than fried rice cakes, I want to eat the sweet and sour pork made by Brother Gu Yu." Deshan turned his head and looked at Gu Yu, who was chewing chicken wings, with anticipation in his eyes.
"Yes, Gu Yu did it that time, and I want to try it again." Donglong said in agreement, and also cast expectant eyes on Gu Yu.
Gu Yu finished the chicken wings calmly and wiped his hands.
"Then Xi Dongdong buys the ingredients and I cook. Let's go and change positions and target my house."
"Oh~oh~"
Several children followed the wind and rain. Before Aze could react, they took the food and rushed to Gu Yu's house. Passing by the living room, the adults were also having a party.
"Xi Dongdong, remember, next time you go to China, don't give your dad the good wine you bring, give it to us."
"Yeah, you guys are still drinking, Mom."
When Deshan heard the conversation between Zhenghuan and Aze, he immediately called his parents, but Gu Yu covered his mouth.
"Hey, Deshan, we are all 18 years old. It's okay to drink at home. I also asked Aze to bring me a few bottles of Maotai, which are valuable for collection."
When Deshan heard Gu Yu say the same thing, he no longer wanted to tell the adults.
"Brother Gu Yu, don't drink too much. It's not good for your health."
"Deshan, how do I feel that you have two different attitudes towards Gu Yu and us?"
Donglong just felt unbalanced, while Zhenghuan couldn't tell what he felt when he saw the scene just now.
"Hmph, are you comparable to Brother Gu Yu?"
A few people bought the ingredients together. Gu Yu changed his tricks slightly and made sweet and sour pork ribs, accompanied by a bowl of shredded kelp. The staple food was ramen.
Gu Yu also opened a bottle of wine, and a few slightly drunk people lay in the living room of Gu Yu's house, chatting about Aze's birthday, which was coming soon.
Time flies so fast, another month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the Olympic Games have ended. Gu Yu's science fiction novel "The Martian" has been completed and sent to Penguin Books, Random House, Harper Collins and other publishing companies.
This novel was originally serialized after 2009. Putting it 20 years ago, the science fiction elements in it highlight its prophecy for the future, giving the "fantasy" a great possibility to be realized in the future by relying on technology.
After editors from various publishing companies noticed "The Martian" sooner or later, they all became very interested in the book. Publishing companies with branches in South Korea have already contacted Gu Yu.
But Gu Yu is sitting on Diaoyutai. His plan for this novel requires not only money, but also fame.
Now, it has begun to spread in the cultural circles and Korean media circles that there is an 18-year-old genius science fiction novelist whose works have been fiercely competed by major publishing houses.
As for how it spread, we can only say that Gu Yu's savings became 180 million. Of course, not all of it was spent on this. He also bought two houses in Silver Horse Apartments.
He also ordered an Audi V8, an imported car, priced at US$50,000, plus 18% tariff and 17% value-added tax. According to the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Korean won at this time, the car Gu Yu bought was almost worth a set of silver. Horse apartment house now.
But Gu Yu said it didn't matter. Money is a bastard. If there is no money in reality, the world of film and television should not be allowed to drift? That is to say, he is not too rich and famous at the moment, otherwise Gu Yu would just buy a Porsche 911.
