After eating, Lin Zhendong returned to his residence. He opened his notebook and found that there were not many new books published by great masters this month. Basically, they were published by mid-level authors.

In the group, Tieniu was holding back as usual.

Of course, Dese still has Dese's capital. Tieniu's collection of new books is like a heifer riding a rocket. That's awesome.

Lin Zhendong has blocked Tieniu.

Out of sight is pure.

He logged into the backend of Qidian and took a look at his collection.

Ouch.

nice.

The collection has actually increased a bit, to 80 items.

Not only that, there were also a few more comments.

Lan Ling, the little book boy: "This book is good. The first copy I chose is "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". I really hope that I can save Li Xiaoyao, Ling'er, Lin Yueru, Anu, Tang Yu and Xiaobao so that they can After completing the ten-year agreement, I’ll add the book list first.”

The person you want but can't find: "I saw this book in other books, but I was worried that the author would fail in writing it, so I decided to write "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". What will you do next?"

Casual reward: "I happened to see it, come on, orangutan, I've already rewarded you."



Lin Zhendong took a rough look and found a total of 9 comments. More importantly, these 9 readers were either senior VIPs or senior members.

Let’s put it this way, none of them are pirated readers.

Then Lin Zhendong discovered that it was this little book boy from Lanling who had added "The Movie and TV Drama Rescue" to his reading list.

He discovered that this little book boy Lan Ling was quite a book-list master.

No wonder the collection has grown.

Not only that, he is also the author of many works.

Just like the book "The Divine Dragon System of All Heavens and All Realms" that Lin Zhendong was reading recently, this little book boy from Lanling is the leader of the alliance.

With such readers willing to spend money to support, Lin Zhendong felt that he had to write better.

It has been four days since the book was published. Other authors are updating two chapters a day, 4,000 words a day, and each chapter is 2,000 words, but this is not the case for Lin Zhendong.

He feels that 2,000 words in a chapter can’t produce anything, so he basically writes 3,000 words in each chapter.

As a result, Tieniu, Tiger, Wuyue, and Xingxing in the group have only updated less than 20,000 words, but Lin Zhendong has updated almost 30,000 words.

In fact, Lin Zhendong has his own little calculation.

He didn't have much confidence in himself.

Therefore, what he thinks is that if his results fail, then the update will be faster, basically around the end of April, and it will be available on May 1 at the latest.

After all, recommendations like Bookshelf, Sanjiang, and Strong Recommendation are still far away from Lin Zhendong.

What he wanted to do was to run naked and be on the shelves.

This does not mean that Lin Zhendong is a waste and has no dreams. Who else can write books for several years and still be in trouble, how can he still have confidence?

Now Lin Zhendong doesn't know when the system will issue tasks again, and his daily life has gradually returned to normal.

He woke up early at 6 o'clock in the morning. He left the community, ate two fried dough sticks, drank a bowl of tofu, which was still salty, and then ran to Longhu Park by himself.

Almost two hours later, that is, at 8 o'clock, Lin Zhendong returned to the community, took a shower, changed into comfortable pajamas, and started coding.

By this time, it was already 9 o'clock.

Lin Zhendong made a cup of coffee and started typing.

He is not a tentacle monster. Wu Yue in the group can code 8,000 words in an hour, and even Chenchen and Shuangshuang can code 3,000 words in an hour. However, Lin Zhendong is handicapped and can only code 1,500 words.

So, he started coding at 9 o'clock, and by 12 noon, Lin Zhendong coded 4,000 words, revising and correcting them. Lin Zhendong knew that he was a loser, so he had to keep improving.

After all, the ability is not good, but the attitude is definitely not good.

Just imagine, a reader reads a 3,000-word chapter of yours, only to find that there are quite a few typos. This is not a problem of ability, but a problem of attitude.

Lin Zhendong once had a friend who was like this. He didn't check when writing. In his own words, checking was a waste of time.

However, most authors are still very responsible to readers. As far as Lin Zhendong knows, there are many authors whose wives are their fans. Basically, after they finish coding, their wives are responsible for checking.

My wife even helps out as a moderator.

This is what Lin Zhendong is thinking at the moment. He will wait until he can make some achievements and earn more money. First, he will buy a 130-square-meter house in the city, and then find a like-minded girlfriend.

The idea is very good. If Lin Zhendong works hard to complete the task, then the house should not be a problem, but where can he find a girlfriend?

Looking for a companion?

Forget it.

Look at the Calabash Kids group, both of them are married, Baibai is married, and the King is also married. These three girls are the only ones in the group, and they are all taken over by the pigs.

And then other groups?

Basically there is no suitable one.

The beautiful Lin Zhendong couldn't get his turn, and the ugly Lin Zhendong couldn't be looked down upon.

Lu Xun once said that it is the face that makes you fall in love at first sight.

A friend of Lin Zhendong said something very philosophical. He said: "Why are there so many singles now? Basically, they just look down on those who are inferior to themselves, and they cannot pursue those who have better conditions than themselves. In fact, if you are looking for a girlfriend or My wife has so many things to do, as long as she doesn’t have nightmares when she sleeps.”

Lin Zhendong does not agree with this statement. Marriage is a lifelong matter. If the force of hasty marriage will bring about a decrease in the quality of life, it may even ruin a life.

Just like another friend of Lin Zhendong, he got married early, but now he only has 100 yuan of pocket money every day, and he is bald due to being tortured by his children every day.

What do you mean by the wedding picture?

For this reason, Lin Zhendong felt that he could make do with anything, but not marriage.

Most of the friends in the village get married when they are around 20 years old, and then have two children in three years, three in four years, and some even have four or five children.

Lin Zhendong wouldn't blame anyone for living such a life, but he didn't want to live it.

"Dongzi, are you busy??"

Just when Lin Zhendong was about to go out for dinner, he suddenly received a call from Wu Hongzhen, who seemed a little anxious on the phone.

"Huh?? I'm getting ready to eat, what's wrong?"

Lin Zhendong asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"

Wu Hongzhen said: "Come to my place, you can help me a little, and then you can eat at my place."

"good."

Lin Zhendong said and hung up the phone.

Because he has moved to La Défense, Heping Road is basically no longer there. When he rode the tram to the intersection of Budong Street and Heping Road today, he was a little surprised to see the mess.

Wu Hongzhen’s Ban Mian store is being demolished.

Not only are the signs being removed, but the air conditioners outside also need to be removed.

Lin Zhendong stopped the electric car, and then asked Wu Hongzhen, who was busy, "What's going on?"

"It is said that we are sorting out the small businesses and hawkers, but they are not allowed to put up signs anyway, and then they will seal the door because it is not a regular store."

Wu Hongzhen smiled bitterly and said: "After all, this is all caused by the apartment, so there is nothing we can do."

Lin Zhendong frowned: "In this case, are you going to find a store?"

"No, you can still open it. Besides, the store is not that easy to find."

Wu Hongzhen said with a wry smile: "Here, help me remove the air conditioner first. Nothing can be hung on this part of the outer wall."

"good."

Lin Zhendong nodded lightly.

It took more than an hour of hard work to finally clean it up. Lao Cao, the owner of Lao Cao's Delicatessen next to him, came over with a vegetable basin: "Here, let's have a drink together!"

Lao Cao prepared some cold dishes, and Lin Zhendong, Lao Cao, and Wu Hongzhen each opened a bottle of wine.

Lao Cao's drinking capacity is so bad that he can drink almost as much as a bottle of beer.

At first, Lin Zhendong always thought that Lao Cao was faking. Then one night, Lin Zhendong asked Lao Cao to drink more. As a result, Lao Cao fainted and fell unconscious before he finished the second bottle of beer.

From then on, Lin Zhendong did not dare to let Lao Cao drink more when he came to see Wu Hongzhen again.

If something really happened, he, Lin Zhendong, would be responsible.

There was such a situation in Lin Zhendong's hometown. Several people drank together, and one of them drank to death. Then the other three were directly sentenced to liability compensation.

If one person gets drunk and gets into trouble, the whole table suffers.

Therefore, more and more people no longer persuade people to drink at the wine table, and drink as much as they like.

This time's rectification will have little impact on Lao Cao. He has been selling cooked food for almost 20 years and has always been here. Most of the old customers know that even if they open a small window, it will be fine.

Wu Hongzhen's Pan Mian shop, on the other hand, is fine now, but after waiting for a letter, if you want to eat, you have to jump in and eat.

"I'm going to continue working here. I have no choice but to support three children."

Wu Hongzhen sighed and said, "Then let my wife learn how to make hot pot and prepare to open another hot pot restaurant."

Lin Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "That's okay. After all, we still have to prepare a way out."

Wu Hongzhen's life was very tight. His father was ill and he had three children to raise, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Again, it’s not easy for anyone.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Lao Cao stood up and said, "You two drink, I have to prepare the meat for dinner, and I can't drink anymore. If I drink any more, I will vomit."

After Lao Cao left, Wu Hongzhen and Lin Zhendong were the only two people left in the store.

"Shall we have another bottle?"

Wu Hongzhen stood up as he spoke and took two bottles of snowflakes directly from the freezer.

"To be honest, I really regret it."

Wu Hongzhen drank a glass of wine and said with a wry smile: "It would be great to have a son and a daughter, but I ended up having another son. Now there is too much pressure on three children."

Lin Zhendong didn't complain because he had persuaded her to think about it and got her daughter-in-law pregnant again when her daughter was just over a year old.

At that time, Wu Hongzhen's daughter-in-law told Lin Zhendong that she had paid attention in the past, but this time she was too tired and didn't pay attention. As a result, her husband didn't pay attention, so he won the bid.

Therefore, in order to be responsible for both parties, you must wear a condom during sex.

Of course, wearing a condom is not absolutely safe, just like Lin Zhendong has a friend...

Now that she was pregnant, Lin Zhendong stopped trying to persuade her. After all, it was a family matter.

He still knew about Wu Hongzhen's family background.

Both parents are old. Wu Hongzhen's father fell ill last year and almost failed to save him. As for Wu Hongzhen's four sisters, they are not like other younger brothers. Even the eldest sister is very rich but doesn't want to help Wu Hongzhen.

Wu Hongzhen was not dissatisfied with this.

No one owes him anything.

But the only thing that made him unhappy was that he could no longer talk about his eldest sister, and there were several aunts who clearly didn't help him in any way, but often talked in front of relatives about how much they had paid for Wu Hongzhen's family.

It's so annoying to hear.

"You said, I didn't save them to help me. Just like my eldest sister often said that she only spends tens of thousands of yuan on random purchases. But I needed several thousand yuan a while ago, and I asked her to borrow it, but she said she didn't have it."

Wu Hongzhen was a little drunk: "But I don't hate her. I don't think she owes us anything, but don't say anything about helping me in front of relatives. Help me, and my aunt too, I want to think……."

Lin Zhendong said: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Who doesn't have a few weird relatives?"

Of course, Lin Zhendong also said that if Wu Hongzhen's four sisters were all demons for supporting their younger brothers, then Wu Hongzhen wouldn't have to work so hard.

Like, well, this is not Lin Zhendong's friend, but someone he doesn't know very well. He has four sisters. The four sisters pooled their money to buy the house. The car was bought by the four sisters. He also got married with four sisters. Help.

Even now he doesn't have to go to work, he can just ask his brother-in-law for daily living expenses.

Simply.

All I can say is that everything is fate and nothing is up to you.

After drinking, Lin Zhendong helped Wu Hongzhen clean up. Now because his wife went to study, Wu Hongzhen was basically the only one in the store.

I am often too busy.

Wu Hongzhen also needed to go to the vegetable market to buy sesame cakes and vegetables. For this reason, Lin Zhendong helped him watch in the store and asked Wu Hongzhen to go out and do some shopping.

Before I knew it, it was 5 o'clock.

"Dongzi, thank you, please go back."

Wu Hongzhen said gratefully: "I have allowed you to stay here for so long, so hurry up and go back to code."

"Okay, that's it. I'll help you here. You're going to have sex soon. How can you do this alone?"

Lin Zhendong waved his hand slightly and said, "What kind of polite words are you talking about?"

Although the Pan Mian shop is not big, if you order food, it will be too busy for one person.

At 6 o'clock, someone came to eat.

"What's going on? Why are all the signs taken down?"

"Can I still eat?"

"Okay, I'll have Set No. 1, and replace the eggs with ham."



In a short time, four or five people had already climbed up.

Wu Hongzhen was responsible for cooking noodles, and Lin Zhendong temporarily served as a waiter.

From 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock, I was busy intermittently. In the meantime, seven or eight people suddenly came, and Wu Hongzhen couldn't take care of him alone.

At the same time, some people from Meituan came to order food, and the rider Lin Zhendong knew them all. He also said hello and chatted a few words, saying that he was just here to help.

"Come on, Dongzi, have something to eat first. I'll go to Lao Cao's place to make some cold dishes."

Wu Hongzhen said with sweat on his face.

"Forget it, no need. I'll just have a bowl of noodles. Don't drink anything at night. I'm going back soon. Today's update hasn't been updated yet."

Lin Zhendong waved his hand and said.
