Seeing Xiang Nan's miserable situation, Liu Yishui guessed that Yongqiang had committed a crime. Either they broke the law, they were in debt, or their studies were neglected and they did not graduate successfully, so they did not dare to return to the village.
"Yongqiang, please speak. Did something happen to you?" Xiaomeng asked with concern, with tears in his eyes.
"No, it's not what you think." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Brother Shui, Xiaomei, you go out first, I have something to say with Xiao Meng."
Liu Yishui and Xiaomei looked at each other, then nodded and walked out.
However, both of them were very curious and wanted to know why Yongqiang didn't go home, so they both leaned against the wall and eavesdropped.
…
"Yongqiang, why are you doing something so difficult? Just tell me." After the two of them went out, Xiaomeng asked, "I know I don't have much ability, but I will still help you."
"Xiaomeng, don't think too much, nothing happened to me." Xiang Nan waved his hands, dumbfounded.
"Since nothing happened, why don't you go home?" Xiao Meng naturally didn't believe it and immediately asked.
"Isn't this all for the two of us?" Xiang Nan said with a wry smile.
Originally, she wanted to become famous and return to the village to marry Xiaomeng in a glamorous manner. But I didn't expect that she would find him before he was even famous. It was really embarrassing.
"Are you afraid of seeing me, that's why you stayed?" When Xiao Meng heard this, he thought differently and burst into tears.
She had known that Yongqiang was a college student and she was a tofu seller, and there was a gap between them. But what she originally thought was that Yongqiang liked her and she also liked Yongqiang. As long as the two of them like each other, she is not afraid of any differences.
Unexpectedly, Yongqiang did not even dare to return to the village in order not to see her and to get rid of her. This really saddened her.
"Yongqiang, if you really don't like me, just tell me to break up. I, Wang Xiaomeng, will never pester you. As for you, you think too little of me." Xiaomeng wiped his tears. , said stubbornly.
"No, no, oh, can you please listen to what I have to say." Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiang Nan grabbed her and said.
When Xiao Meng saw him saying this, he stopped.
She wanted to see what other explanation Yongqiang had.
"Listen to me, the thing is like this..." Xiang Nan explained his painstaking efforts, "You also know my father. Ever since I was admitted to college, he felt that he was not an ordinary person. Every day Everyone in the village is arrogant. Who else can he look up to except Uncle Gui, the village chief?
This time I graduated from college and was going to work for the county education committee, and my father became even more angry. I guess from now on I will only look at people through my nostrils and rely on the Heavenly Spirit to breathe.
I want to go back to the village now and tell him that I am talking to you about someone. With my dad's temper, he definitely wouldn't do it. When the time comes, they will definitely be messing around in there.
So I decided not to go home yet, but to make a career in the city first, and then return to the village in glory. At that time, I had a career and money, so my father could no longer control me, and I could legitimately marry you. "
"Yongqiang, do you really think so?" Xiaomeng was so moved after hearing this.
…
"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "Otherwise, why would I live a good life and stay here and suffer."
"But what are you doing here? Sleeping is your career?" Xiao Meng asked in confusion.
"Come and see, I wrote this, and I'm going to publish it." Xiang Nan dragged Xiao Meng to the laptop, woke up the computer, and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" soon appeared on the screen.
"I have been writing this these days. I stayed up all night yesterday until nine o'clock this morning." He explained, "As soon as my book is published, I will have money and I can marry you. Who can stop me?" It doesn’t work well.”
"I hate it, who said I want to marry you." Xiaomeng said shyly, "But Yongqiang, is this really okay?"
"Of course, you don't believe in my strength. If you don't believe me, just read a few chapters and give it a try." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Xiao Meng nodded and tried to take a look.
""Ghost Blows Out the Lamp"? A ghost story? I still won't read it, I'm timid."
"It's not a ghost story, it's an adventure story." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You'll know after you read it~"
Xiao Meng endured his fear and read two more paragraphs. Sure enough, there was nothing too scary. But she really couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, and she rarely read such idle books.
"Yongqiang, is this really okay?" Xiaomeng asked worriedly. She was afraid that Yongqiang's book wouldn't work.
In this case, he would have to live here all the time. Then the matter between the two of them is far away? !
"Hey, it's terrible." Xiang Nan stroked his forehead and saw that Xiao Meng had no appreciation. It is really difficult to make her understand that this book can be popular.
"Xiaomei, Brother Yishui, come in for a moment." Xiang Nan said loudly.
Before he finished speaking, the door opened and Xiaomei and Liu Yishui walked in.
Then both of them felt a little embarrassed. I came in too early, it was obvious that I was just eavesdropping outside the door.
"Xiaomei, Brother Yishui, take a look at this book I wrote. Is it good?" Xiang Nan also saw that they were listening outside, but he didn't pursue it and instead waved.
"Yongqiang, you write a book? That's awesome." Xiaomei smiled.
"Yongqiang, have you become a family?" Liu Yishui also said in surprise.
Although his education level is not high and he has just finished junior high school and has little education, he still knows that writers are quite remarkable.
Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Bing Xin, Confucius, Ba Jin, Lao She... are all famous figures throughout the ages. Yongqiang can actually write books, so he is also a character.
"I can't even call him a writer, he's just a writer." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
…
At this time, Xiaomei and Liu Yishui both watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
"Well, not bad, not bad." After reading two or three chapters, Xiaomei smiled and nodded, "Yongqiang, your writing is really good. It's suspenseful, fascinating, and exciting. I really enjoyed reading it."
"Although I'm not as educated as Xiaomei and know so many idioms, I still think it's pretty good-looking." Liu Yishui also nodded.
"Look, they both agreed after reading it." Xiang Nan looked at Xiao Meng and said, "Actually, my book has been posted to the Tianya Forum, and the current click rate has exceeded one million."
"Okay, that's awesome, Yongqiang." Xiaomei said in surprise. Naturally, she had also heard of Tianya Forum.
At that time, Tianya Forum was one of the largest large-scale online communities in the mainland, on par with Mop. It is known as South Tianya and North Maofu. And one million clicks was considered a hit at the time.
"It's just so so." Xiang Nan nodded proudly.
In the real world, if the original version and pirated version of this book are combined, the number of clicks alone would exceed 10 billion. Today, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
