Ma Shouchang has not been discharged from the hospital yet, but after eating liquid food for more than half a month, the doctor finally relaxed and said that he can no longer only eat liquid food, but he should still eat light food, less oil, less salt, and less meat. .
Moreover, I have to eat small meals frequently, not eat too much in one meal, and get out of bed and move around more, but not violently. I cannot be discharged from the hospital yet. The doctor has to observe and administer medicine regularly to avoid recurrence.
Qu Xiuzhen also breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer had to be guarded by someone like at the beginning. Wang Zhong was also much more relaxed, but he still had to deliver meals as usual every day.
Wang Zhong also had time to attend to his work.
After the Chinese New Year, the magazine jointly opened by Shao Jingwen and Shao Jingwen was about to officially open. At first, the main theme of the magazine was tentatively just martial arts. Although it was completely different from all the existing magazines and publishing houses in China, martial arts was very popular in the country. Hong Kong Island and the Bay have reached their peak development.
Whether it is Mr. Cha's "Shooting the White Deer in the Snow", "The Laughing Book of Legends" in the Fourteen Parts of Biyuan, or Brother Xiong's "Lu Xiaofeng Series", "Chu Liuxiang Series", "The Legend of the Banner Hero" and "Peerless Two Prides" Wait, or perhaps there are many classics by famous martial arts masters such as Liang Yusheng and Sima Lin, as well as Mr. Huang Yi, who has just become famous, and has already pushed martial arts to its peak.
It is difficult to surpass them.
At first, Shao Jingwen planned to use the word "江湖" in the name of the magazine, hoping to capitalize on the popularity of martial arts and qigong.
But when Shao Jingwen saw the outline of "Prehistoric", he was completely shocked.
A grand, spectacular, and turbulent ancient world was completely displayed in front of Shao Jingwen's eyes, as if an extremely huge picture was slowly being opened.
In this book, most of the familiar myths and stories handed down from ancient China are basically included.
Pangu created the sky, Nuwa created humans, the Three Purities founded the religion, the war between the lich and the demons, the dragon and phoenix catastrophe, the god-conferring catastrophe, the journey to the west, and so on.
Especially with the current popularity of Qigong, magazines about Qigong and special functions are very popular on the market, and the official Qigong Scientific Research Association has even been established.
Not to mention the people at the bottom.
Shao Jingwen could even see the huge sales of his own magazine, so he simply used Wang Zhong's new book as the title of the magazine with a wave of his hand.
When ordering the edition, at Wang Zhong's strong request, the book's cover and introduction included this sentence: The content of this book is purely fictional and has nothing to do with reality.
But with Wang Zhong's "The Great Wilderness", the martial arts stories that Shao Jingwen originally commissioned from his writer friends seemed less exciting.
So Shao Jingwen set his sights on Wang Zhong again, almost stalking him. He would follow Wang Zhong wherever he went, shamelessly, and would not drive him away no matter what.
Wang Zhong couldn't stand being pestered by him anymore, so he could only agree to write another one.
Fortunately, the outline of "Prehistoric" has already been decided, and Wang Zhong basically knows all the stories.
It doesn't matter if I open a new one.
Speaking of it, Wang Zhong didn't have too much inventory in his mind. Although he had only watched many of them in full and only remembered the general plot, there was a plot, a direction, and a main line, and that was enough.
The most important thing is creativity.
Since the main themes of martial arts and myths and myths are already there, let’s add another martial arts book, a completely different kind of martial arts - Guoshu.
"The Romance of Dragon and Snake", the founder of the martial arts school, Ming Jin, Hidden Jin, Hua Jin, Bao Dan, and seeing the gods are not bad, especially the plot of re-taking the Long March, which shocked and unforgettable Wang Zhong.
But it is not that simple to write Chinese martial arts well. Fortunately, Wang Zhong has not been idle these years. He has already mastered the fighting skills of the Black Dragon and the Eighteen Hands in the army. He also picked up Sanda again. When he was in Yanjing, , I don’t know how many times Wang Zhong went to Shichahai, and he often shamelessly went to martial arts schools to ask for advice. Although most of them just learned a little bit and didn’t come into contact with the real core things, whether it was the South Fist or the North Kick, Wang Zhong’s The theoretical knowledge is not lacking.
Especially during the time in Shen City, there was money to clear the way, Wang Zhong himself was in good physical condition, and his talent was not low. He Damao, a well-connected person, could help. He actually learned a good Baguazhang from an old boxer in Foshan.
Writing about Chinese martial arts is not a big problem.
Wang Zhong didn't even change the title of the book, and directly used "The Romance of Dragon and Snake". However, the content and timeline must be slightly different from the original work.
Moreover, Dragon Snake’s early preparation is not short.
Wang Zhong first started writing books and serialized them in Jiangliao Daily. Later, he transferred to Golden Land Magazine, a subsidiary of Jiangliao Publishing House. It has been nearly twenty years. The pen name Chongshan alone has become famous throughout Jiangliao. He has considerable weight in the provincial literary world.
There are countless readers and fans.
"Prehistoric" has not yet been released, Chongwen decided not to write about military anti-war themes, and the news of switching to martial arts mythology was released by Shao Jingwen long ago.
As soon as the news was released, it caused quite a stir not only in Jiangliao Province, but also in the literary circles across the country. Some people were optimistic about Wang Zhong and supported Wang Zhong, but there were also many who were not optimistic about it. They believed that martial arts myths were separate from the military resistance war. Too far, Wang Zhong can write the military resistance war well, but he may not be able to write the martial arts mythology well.
Many readers, fans and writer friends wrote letters to advise Wang Zhong, asking him to think twice before acting and not to act impulsively.
For the sake of publicity, Wang Zhong even secretly asked people to smear himself in Jiangliao Daily and many major newspapers, saying that he had exhausted his talents and chose to abandon the military anti-war theme and switch to martial arts and mythical themes.
Talking about worshiping literature and fishing for fame, the writing is the same, there is nothing new, it just wants to attract people's attention.
As soon as these Hei Chongwen articles were published in the newspaper, they immediately caused an uproar, especially among Wang Zhong's loyal readers and fans. Some of them called the newspaper directly to complain, and many sent letters to complain. Some readers and friends directly wrote in the newspaper. Speak up online, support Chongwen, and lash out at those trolls.
The first public opinion war after the reform and opening up was started just like this.
Seeing that the effect was good, Wang Chong simply increased his efforts and even wrote the manuscript himself and sent it anonymously to the newspaper.
Seeing someone taking the lead, within a few days some literary trolls who were already jealous of Wang Zhong couldn't help it anymore and started speaking out in newspapers.
Suddenly, the war of words in public opinion intensified.
After brewing for almost half a month, the reputation of "Ancient" magazine was completely destroyed.
Although it has not been officially launched yet, I don’t know how many people have begun to look forward to it. They want to make Chongwen black again and again to see whether Chongwen will be a hit on the street or continue to be a legend.
The magazine's phone calls basically never stop all day long, and almost all of them ask when the first issue will be officially released.
Many newsstand owners with ideas also called the magazine to make reservations.
It became popular before it was sold, and at the same time, Shao Jingwen's layout was completely disrupted, because the magazine's investment was only a small amount, recruiting people and handling the magazine's first fifteen years, which already cost a lot, Shao Jingwen only planned to take it step by step It took my time, but now "Prehistoric" has become popular before it has been sold, and there are countless people calling to place orders every day.
Shao Jingwen changed his mind, found some connections, and directly applied for a loan from the bank to increase the number of publications.
On March 15, 1989, the tenth day of the second lunar month, the first issue of "The Great Desolate" was officially released. In addition to "The Great Desolate" and "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" by Wang Zhong, there were also "Shattered Void" by Mr. Huang Yi and The other four volumes, the first few chapters of martial arts collected by Shao Jingwen from a group of writer friends, were first printed in 30,000 copies and officially sold to the public under the names of Chongshan and Huang Yi.
Once it was released, there was an immediate rush of buying.
In less than two days, nearly half of the first 30,000 copies printed had been sold. Shao Jingwen was so happy that he immediately ordered 50,000 more copies to be printed and sent to all parts of Jiangliao.
For a time, "Prehistoric" caused a lot of enthusiasm throughout Jiangliao.
Shao Jingwen was so happy that he always had a smile on his face wherever he went.
After the official release, Wang Zhong did not continue to be used to it and allowed various public opinions to ferment on their own. He hid back at home and wrote the follow-up story online.
On the third day after the release of "Prehistoric", Feng Huacheng returned from Yanjing.
This time Feng Huacheng gambled on his future and quit his job in Yanjing and came to Jichun with all his wealth.
Zhou Rong was busy with classes and had no time to pick up Feng Huacheng from the train station, so she called Cai Xiaoguang to pick him up.
When he was in Yanjing, Cai Xiaoguang often visited Feng Huacheng and his wife, eating and chatting together. Feng Huacheng and Cai Xiaoguang were also familiar with each other.
After returning to Jichun, after Feng Huacheng settled down, the first thing he did was to meet Zhou Rong, and the second thing was to meet Feng Yue.
At this time, there was no self-study in the evening. After class in the afternoon, Zhou Cong and Feng Yue rode their bicycles out of the school together. First, they went to meet Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling, and then the four of them went to pick up Little Tail together. .
There were five brothers and sisters riding four bicycles, with Little Tails sitting on the back of Zhou Cong's car, and they went home together.
Zheng Juan prepared the meal, and Wang Zhong drove to 131 to deliver the meal to Ma Shouchang and his wife. Wang Zhong usually would not come back directly, but would accompany Qu Xiuzhen and Lao Ma to finish the meal and stay for a while. , chatting with the old couple, staying for at least an hour and a half before coming back.
The entire family sat in the small dining room next to the kitchen and started eating dinner without waiting for Wang Zhong.
There are not many dishes, just five, two meat, two vegetarian, and one soup.
When Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng arrived, the family was having dinner. Wang Zhong was not here, so Zhou Rong naturally stopped keeping a straight face, talked a lot, and had a good attitude.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room, and Zheng Juan brought out a lot of oranges, grapefruits and candies.
He said to Li Suhua: "Mom, it's hard for my sister and brother-in-law to come here. I must have a lot to say to you and dad. I'll just take care of the kitchen and dining room."
Li Suhua didn't treat Zheng Juan politely either. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been getting along for many years, and they no longer needed to be polite to each other.
Zhou Cong, Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling volunteered to help Zheng Juan.
The children are getting older and more sensible. They usually help Zheng Juan and Li Suhua with housework at home. After washing, clearing the table, cleaning, etc., they will help as long as they are free. Zheng Juan and Li Suhua Li Suhua is also much more relaxed.
"I'm going to help too!" Feng Yue also stood up and volunteered.
Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng's faces froze, a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Li Suhua stopped her and said, "What are you going to do?" He looked at Feng Yue angrily.
"Help my little aunt!" Feng Yue said matter-of-factly.
"Do you need me?" Li Suhua was not angry and quickly sat down for me.
Feng Yue reluctantly sat next to Li Suhua.
Li Suhua could only sigh in her heart and gave Feng Yue a hard look, but she could do nothing about Feng Yue's attitude.
Feng Huacheng, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, changed slightly when he saw this, and the smile that originally hung on his face had long since disappeared. Looking at Feng Yue, who was almost growing into a big girl, his mood became more complicated.
Zhou Zhigang didn't know what to say. Zhou Rong was his most beloved daughter, but Feng Yue was also his only granddaughter, and the palms and backs of her hands were all flesh.
"Hua Cheng, have you really decided not to leave when you come back this time?" Zhou Zhigang quickly brought up the topic.
Feng Huacheng squeezed his palms and replied with a smile: "I'm not leaving." Then he turned to look at Feng Yue and said, "At least I won't leave Jichun until Yue Yue graduates from high school and goes to college."
"Then where do you plan to live?" Zhou Zhigang asked, this was what he was most concerned about.
Feng Huacheng said: "Zhou Rong and her school assigned her a dormitory."
"How big is the dormitory?"
"It's just a single room." Speaking of this, Zhou Rong looked a little embarrassed.
Li Suhua frowned: "About the same age as Yanjing?"
"Yeah!" Zhou Rong's eyes darkened.
Wang Zhong, whom she had always looked down upon, was not only greedy but Zhou Rong didn't have this big house. Moreover, Wang Zhong's book was very popular. As an insider, how could Zhou Rong not know about it.
Although she doesn't watch military affairs and doesn't like martial arts, she also knows how popular Wang Zhong's works are.
Especially in the past few days, many colleagues and classmates in the school will be holding a copy of "The Great Desolation" in their hands, and they are also talking about the two serialized books by Wang Zhong.
The popularity of his works means an increase in income, especially since Wang Zhong is one of the founders and major shareholder of Honghuang Magazine.
"How can we live there?"
I ran back from Yanjing specifically because I wanted to reunite with my daughter, but the place I lived in was not much bigger than that in Yanjing. It was a tube building with a single room, more than ten square meters. It was actually not too big to live in. There were only three people in Zhou Rong's family, and six or seven in other people's families. Seven or eight people living in one room were too many, and no one said they couldn't accommodate them.
But Li Suhua naturally feels sorry for her own daughter and grandson.
"Old man, isn't Guang Zi Pian's old house still vacant? How about letting Ronger and Hua Cheng live there?" Li Suhua suddenly had an idea and said excitedly.
"That's right!" Zhou Zhigang slapped his thigh, his face beaming with joy: "Why didn't I think of that?"
"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law live in your sister-in-law's natal home all year round, taking care of your sister-in-law and her mother. The old house in Guangzipi has always been empty. Although our old house is not big, it has two rooms, which is enough for your family of three."
Zhou Zhigang said very happily.
Feng Huacheng also smiled, with smiles in the corners of his eyes. He had already thought about it from the moment he decided to return to Jichun. Zhou Rong had just gone to Jichun University, so he definitely couldn't count on being allocated a room. As for the dormitory, Feng Huacheng had already arranged it. As expected, it was just that he had not discussed this matter with Zhou Rong, so he could not go past Zhou Rong and speak directly to the old couple.
Moreover, Feng Huacheng knew Zhou Rong's temperament very well. He wanted to be strong, self-centered, and face-conscious, and it was not easy to convince him. Therefore, Feng Huacheng planned to return to Jichun first, and then slowly convince Zhou Rong. For the sake of his daughter, Feng Huacheng Hua Cheng didn't believe Zhou Rong disagreed.
Unexpectedly, he hadn't even started yet. The old couple brought it up first, which greatly exceeded Feng Huacheng's expectations and made him overjoyed. It was an unexpected surprise.
"This matter... should I ask my eldest brother and sister-in-law for their opinions first?" Feng Huacheng said hesitantly.
Feng Huacheng naturally knew about the separation of the old Zhou family. Wang Zhong left in anger and asked for nothing. He bought land on his own and built such a large yard. To be honest, Feng Huacheng was a little envious.
Zhou Zhigang immediately said: "What's there to ask? Am I still the one who can make the decision on the house I built?"
"Dad! It's good for us to live in the dormitory!" I don't know what Zhou Rong thought about, but she didn't agree directly.
"It's so good!" Li Suhua said directly: "How can you live in a single room, and you have to write books and create creations, so you need a quiet environment. As for your Tongzi Building, you can clearly hear the fart next door, how can it be quiet? Come down."
"Although our old house is not big, it does have two rooms, a courtyard, and it is quiet nearby. When the time comes, you two will sleep in one room, and Yue will sleep in another room. Even if there are guests at home, there will be a place to sit."
Zhou Zhigang said: "Your mother is right!"
Li Suhua said: "Anyway, the old house is empty. If you move back, your dad and I can go back and visit you every now and then. Living here for a few days is no better than your one-room dormitory." .”
"Zhou Rong, I think my parents are right." Feng Huacheng hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Yueyue is fifteen this year and is already a big girl. If she shares a room with us parents, she will be like a What does it look like?”
"Girls should have their own boudoir and their own space."
"If we move back to the optical film, wouldn't it be just right for us to sleep in the east room and Yueyue to sleep in the back room?"
Zhou Rong lowered her head, with some thoughts and entanglement in her eyes.
Li Suhua said: "Okay, don't think about it, this matter is settled."
"Grandma! No matter what the decision is, I didn't say I wanted to move away!" Feng Yue was not very cooperative.
"Yueyue! Don't act like a child!" Zhou Zhigang had a straight face, but his voice was not very harsh.
Feng Yue had tears in her eyes and said loudly: "I am not a child anymore, and I have no temper. I don't want to go back to the photo. I want to live with my uncle and aunt, and I want to be with my cousins." Together."
"Yue Yue!" Feng Huacheng looked at Feng Yue with sincere eyes and said in a choked voice: "Dad, I know that these years, my parents have been busy working and studying, and have no time to accompany you and take care of you. What do you think of your father in your heart?" It’s inevitable for mom to have opinions.”
"Your mother and I have missed your childhood, your elementary school, and your junior high school, but we don't want to miss your high school as well."
