In order to relieve the depression in his heart and enrich the entertainment life at home, Xiang Nan told Li Shuihua the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is Jin Yong's most famous work. It contains both heroic chivalry and love between children, vivid characters, and wonderful stories. It conquered millions of readers as soon as it was published.
Nowadays, it is naturally easy to conquer Li Shuihua, a girl in the valley.
When she heard about Qiu Chuji's friendship with Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, she felt extremely proud; when she heard about Qiu Chuji's gambling battle with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, Yanyulou, she became even more nervous...
"Yong Fu'er, what's going on behind the scenes? Is Li Ping safe? Can the Seven Jiangnan Monsters rescue her? Where will Wanyan Honglie take Bao Xiruo..." Li Shuihua asked frequently, and she was the best follower. Read the reader.
"Don't be impatient, just wait and see if the amount is equal." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Li Shuihua nodded, still urging Xiang Nan to tell stories.
There is nothing I can do, life in the mountains is too hard. Day after day, month after month, year after year, it’s the same thing, and you can’t see a breakthrough in your life.
Nowadays, it’s easy to hear some good stories. It was like rain falling from the sky, making people feel that this day was finally different and a little interesting.
This is also commonly known as [Nipple Fun]. It’s no different from TV, video games, or Douyin short videos!
Contemporary people can't stop using their cell phones, and Li Shuihua can't stop listening to stories.
…
"Yongfu'er, tell me more. The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan have found Guo Jing. What's the next step?" Li Shuihua asked Xiang Nan in the evening after blowing off the lamp.
"Okay, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "After the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan found Guo Jing, they were rejoicing when they suddenly found a bunch of skulls in the grass, with five holes on each head. …”
"Oops~" Li Shuihua was startled, and her heartbeat accelerated a little.
She listened to Xiang Nan continue to talk about how Chen Xuanfeng, the bronze corpse, and Mei Chaofeng, the iron corpse, killed people like hemp and took human lives seriously in order to practice evil arts. They were so vivid and lifelike... She was so scared that she felt cold all over, and she couldn't help but hide in Xiang Nan's arms. inside.
"Yongfu'er, please stop talking, you're scared~" she trembled.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you~" Xiang Nan took the opportunity to hug her and said.
Li Shuihua was stunned for a moment, then lay peacefully in Xiang Nan's arms.
After getting along with each other for the past few days, she realized that Xiang Nan was a good person. Hard-working, capable, smart, considerate... If a woman can find such a man, what else can she complain about?
So she didn't resist, she accepted.
"Yongfu'er, please ask for the amount." Li Shuihua whispered.
"Don't you regret it?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked.
"Well, I don't regret it." Li Shuihua nodded.
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Go and turn on the light."
…
After that night, Xiang Nan and Shui Hua'er's little life became even sweeter.
Two days later, Xiang Nan and Shui Hua'er were weeding in the field. At this moment, Party Secretary An walked over and said, "Yong Fu'er, I have your letter. It's from Hujiang. Why, where are you?" Does it still matter?"
"Well, let's take a look~" Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan quickly put down his hoe and ran over.
Li Shuihua also came over.
Xiang Nan took the letter from the party secretary and looked at it. Sure enough, it was from the "Story Club" magazine. "Oh, there is a junior high school classmate who went to Shanghai to work. He probably wrote to me."
"That won't work. It's so far there. What should we do if something happens after we go there?" Upon hearing this, the party secretary immediately advised, "Besides, you just got married, so you can't live a good life at home and think about it every day. Why are you running outside?"
"Yes, Party Secretary, I will listen to you." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
"Well, think about it carefully." The branch secretary snorted, turned around and left.
After he left, Xiang Nan couldn't wait to tear open the letter and saw inside a manuscript acceptance letter from "Story Club", a reply letter from the editor, and a postal remittance slip.
When Xiang Nan saw the number above, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed.
"Yongfu'er, what's in the letter?" Li Shuihua asked curiously.
"Daughter-in-law, I have been accepted by others, and the sample magazine will be sent in a month. Look, this is the manuscript fee they paid me, one thousand seven hundred and fifty yuan." Xiang Nan unfolded the remittance slip. She said before her eyes.
"How much?!" Li Shuihua's eyes widened and she could hardly believe her ears.
"See for yourself, it's one thousand, seven hundred and fifty yuan." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Wow! This... this... this is real!" Li Shuihua took the remittance slip and looked at it carefully, trembling with excitement.
One thousand five hundred yuan may not seem like much now, but at that time, it was a savings that the people of Kushui Village might not be able to save in a lifetime.
Li Laoshuan just exchanged his daughter for a donkey, two sheep, two cages of chickens, and a water cellar, and he was already a rich man in Yongquan Village.
"Really." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "We will go to the county town tomorrow to get the money. Then I will buy you some colorful clothes."
"No, no, I'm well dressed." Li Shuihua waved her hands and said, "Yongfu'er, if you have money, you should save it."
"No, you can still make money after spending it. Once your youth is gone, you never come back." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I want you to be beautiful all your life."
Hearing what he said, Li Shuihua was naturally moved.
Ever since she was little, no one has ever cared about her so much, not even Ma Defu.
…
Xiang Nan then read the editor's letter again.
In the letter, the editor of Story Club Magazine spoke highly of him. He thought the story was wonderful, with vivid characters, climaxes and suspense. It was really well written, and he was welcomed to contribute more.
Xiang Nan was not surprised to receive such an evaluation.
He now combines Ji Xiaolan's talents, Yuan Hua's writing experience, and his many years of online writing experience. If the manuscript I wrote cannot even impress people in the 1990s, then it would be a failure.
…
Next day, Xiang Nan and Shuihua got up early in the morning and went to the county town to withdraw money.
Kushui Village is more than fifty miles away from the county seat, and it takes half a day to ride a bicycle.
Anyong's family doesn't own a bicycle, so he has to walk to get to the county seat.
Walking, walking, walking, walking... I saw only rolling hills all the way, which were so bare that they looked like scarred heads. It looked really suffocating.
"Are you tired from walking? Do you want me to carry it on my forehead?" After walking for an hour, Xiang Nan asked Shuihua with a smile.
Fortunately, he inherited Liu Feng's military qualities and his physical fitness was relatively outstanding. He was not tired after walking more than ten miles on the mountain road. But Shui Hua'er is a woman after all.
"Not tired, not at all." Li Shuihua replied with a smile.
She felt that her steps were very light now, and she wished she could trot into the county town. I feel happy and not tired at all.
To be honest, she was so excited last night that she actually didn't sleep well all night. But now, I am not sleepy at all!
