After washing up in the morning, Ying Chanxi got dressed and ran next door to have breakfast. Then the two families set off together to go to the wholesale market in the suburbs to buy new year goods.

Because there may be more things to buy than the trunk of a car can fit.

So Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng each drove their own cars.

But just when Ying Zhicheng drove his Audi out of the garage and parked it next to Li Guohong's small car downstairs, Ying Zhicheng watched helplessly as the three passengers got into Li Guohong's car.

"Xixi, don't you want to sit here with me?" Ying Zhicheng rolled down the window and couldn't help but ask, "My side is more spacious."

"Dad, please concentrate on driving." Ying Chanxi followed Li Luo and sat in the back seat over there, opened the window and said to him, "I want to chat with Aunt Lin for a while."

"Okay." Ying Zhicheng sighed, then looked at Li Guohong who was smiling, rolled his eyes, "Let's go, I'll drive in front."

"OK." Li Guohong made a gesture, and after Ying Zhicheng took the lead to drive out of the community, he followed in his car.

Compared with Ying Zhicheng's Audi, which he bought just two years ago, Li Guohong's car has been driven for seven or eight years.

In the past seven or eight years, Ying Zhicheng has changed cars at least three times, but Li Guohong has been driving the same car until now.

The configuration in the car is obviously incomparable with Ying Zhicheng's Audi.

The back seat is also far less comfortable than the Audi's back seat.

But Ying Chanxi still chose to sit in the car here, happily pulled on his seat belt and looked at Li Luo beside him.

At this time, Li Luo looked at the Audi driving in front of his car and felt the performance of Li Guohong's car.

The old car of 1978 can be regarded as an old horse of their Li family.

The noise from the engine, the bumps when accelerating, the shaking when braking, the hard seats, and the squeaking sound when the windows are rolled down.

These are all explaining one thing.

"dad."

"What's wrong?"

"After some time, let's buy a new car at home?" Li Luo suggested, "Look at how stylish Uncle Ying's car is."

"Change a car?" When Li Guohong heard this topic, he was immediately moved. Unfortunately, when the words came to his lips, he still smiled and shook his head, "Can't this car still be driven? Why spend that money? I don't usually go far away.

.”

"That's right." Lin Xiuhong on the side also said, "If you have that spare money, why not do something else? It would be nice if the car can be driven."

Hearing what his wife said, Li Guohong also sighed.

But Li Luo said: "But our car has been driven for seven or eight years. Not to mention it is old and worn out, at least the engine is indeed aging. It will be a bit of a safety hazard after a long time."

"Hey, hey." Lin Xiuhong interrupted him immediately, turned around and glared at him, "You're still driving. If you say such unlucky words, hit yourself three times in the mouth. Hurry up."

Li Luo: "..."

"Aunt Lin, I'll do it." Ying Chanxi came to Li Luo's side, raised her little hand, and patted Li Luo's mouth three times, "Okay."

"Xixi is still sensible." Lin Xiuhong nodded with satisfaction, then thought about what Li Luo said, and couldn't help but think of her son's astonishing royalties, and her heart was slightly shaken, "But what you said makes sense, and your...

…”

Halfway through her words, Lin Xiuhong suddenly realized that Ying Chanxi was also in the car, so she glanced at Li Luo and stopped talking.

Li Luo knew what his mother was going to say as soon as he heard it, so he took the initiative and said: "Xixi and Uncle Ying already know about my novel writing, so there is no need to be taboo about it in the future."

"Eh? Did you say that?" Lin Xiuhong raised her eyebrows, then looked at Ying Chanxi who was sitting behind her. When she saw her nodding, she smiled and said, "Xixi, this is not something that Auntie wants to hide from you.

It's all Li Luo who had to hide it."

"Yeah, I know." Ying Chanxi said with a smile, "It's all his fault."

"Yes, it's all his fault." Lin Xiuhong said with a smile, and then changed the subject again, "Anyway, let's put aside the matter of buying a car for now. Didn't you say that we also need to consider the store and house? Let's put this money first.

Keep it, good steel must be used on the blade, right?"

"That's true." Li Luo nodded, "That's what I said, I must give priority to the store and then the car."

In Li Luo's impression, Li Guohong had been driving this car for eleven years.

It wasn't until he was in college that he got scratched by someone on the side of the road and hit a tree, completely breaking down.

Li Guohong is fine, but just in case, it is better to buy his father a new car as soon as possible.

Li Luo himself was not in a hurry, after all, a minor could not learn to drive.

After finally making money, you must improve your family's conditions, and buying a new car should naturally be included in your plans.

His royalties last month amounted to RMB 370,000. If he were to buy a new car of the brand that Li Guohong is driving now, he would probably be able to buy two or three of them at once.

Lin Xiuhong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, probably had this thought in her mind, and suddenly she was no longer so repelled by buying a new car.

After all, money is a person's guts.

Three or four thousand a month is one way of living, and thirty or forty thousand a month is another way of living.

If it is three to four hundred thousand a month, it will be a new level in the pursuit of quality of life.

It's just that Li Luo's current monthly income of hundreds of thousands is not stable and sustainable enough, so whether it is Li Luo himself or the couple Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong, their consumption habits still remain at the previous level.

The wholesale market in the suburbs is about twenty minutes' drive from Jincheng Community.

Li Guohong drove the car and followed Ying Zhicheng's Audi all the way. He arrived here at about nine o'clock in the morning.

This place is composed of several huge open sheds lined up side by side. Under the sheds, there are rows and rows of merchants, bringing all kinds of New Year’s goods.

Under normal circumstances, these things can be purchased in any supermarket.

But because of the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of new year goods to buy, so Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong will come to the wholesale market here to save whatever they can.

After arriving at the wholesale market for new year goods, it’s Lin Xiuhong’s home court.

She led the other four people in a familiar manner and shuttled under various sheds, asking Li Luo and others about the price while getting ready to pick up the items.

Spring couplets, window grilles, blessing characters...

Candies, nuts, fruits...

Tea, ham, glutinous rice balls, rice cakes, walnuts...

Lin Xiuhong was very familiar with these things. Not only had she already thought about the things she would prepare for the New Year, but also the gifts she would give to each family. She also thought about them for Ying Zhicheng, saving him a lot.

strength.

Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng are the two big coolies, and Li Luo and Ying Chanxi are the two little coolies.

The two younger ones followed Lin Xiuhong and helped her carry the things she bought. The two older ones quickly delivered the New Year's goods to the car and put them directly into the trunk.

Li Guohong didn't know where he borrowed a small cart, and the others felt a lot more relaxed at once.

After scouring the wholesale market for more than two hours, Lin Xiuhong finally stopped, and the other four people also took a breath.

After getting back in the car, the family of five packed their harvest and returned home before noon.

Lin Xiuhong started cooking rice.

Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng were chatting on the sofa in the living room.

Ying Chanxi walked into the kitchen obediently, put on an apron, and helped Lin Xiuhong.

Li Luo stayed with him in the living room, listening to his father and Uncle Ying chatting, and occasionally interjecting a few words of his own.

“In the previous public review of subway drafts, some passed and some failed.”

Ying Zhicheng remembered the topic he had talked with Li Guohong before, and mentioned it to him, "The main thing is that the subway lines in the two districts have passed."

"One is the Xiaoshan District side. Because it is a subway that goes directly to the airport, it can be passed easily."

"However, this line is very long and has been divided into three phases of construction. It will probably take another four to five years before it can actually be opened to the airport."

"The other one is Binjiang District, which is considered to be the area that developed later in Yuhang City, and is expected to be a key development area in the future."

"A subway line was planned two years ago, and two more lines were approved this year."

"As for our side..." Ying Zhicheng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "We still haven't passed it yet. I don't know when we have to wait."

"Didn't you say before that it is likely to pass?" Li Guohong couldn't help but smoke a cigarette and asked Ying Zhicheng, "What is the specific situation?"

"It's not a rush. After all, Yuhang City is developing very fast now and is relatively strong among second-tier cities." Ying Zhicheng said with a smile, "I guess it will be a matter of time."

"It's just that the airport in Xiaoshan District is relatively important."

"There are many emerging Internet companies in Binjiang District, and they all need to be considered carefully."

"The area to the west of our Yinjiang District is supported by a science and technology park, but the area to the east near Changning City is full of manufacturing and garment industries. It is normal for the planning to be a bit backward."

"The news I heard is that the results will definitely come out this year."

"Even if we don't have as many lines here as in Binjiang District, at least the line at South Station extends back a few stops. There should be no problem. Just relax."

Hearing what Ying Zhicheng said, Li Guohong felt more at ease.

After all, the down payment for the house in Bihai Lanting cost their family more than ten years of savings.

If the subway fails to be built in the end, it will be a big loss.

Ying Zhicheng saw his expression and immediately smiled: "Why are you so nervous? It's happening now and then."

"Before, I was worried about what would happen if you bought the house if the subway was not extended."

"Now that Li Luo's writing performance is so good, you have nothing to worry about. No matter what you do, you won't starve to death."

"If he can keep writing this book for a year or two, he won't need to worry about whether the subway is subway or not."

After being reminded by Ying Zhicheng, Li Guohong also reacted and then laughed.

It's not that he didn't expect it.

It's just that after all, this is money earned by the child himself, who is capable and promising.

Li Guohong would always subconsciously put this money aside and calculate it separately.

But if we really want to count, Li Luo used to have more than 500,000 yuan on his bank card, and now he has 370,000 yuan, which means he has a deposit of one million yuan.

Half a year's work is worth the couple's more than ten years of hard work.

If this really allows him to continue to make money from one book, then what is there to worry about?

Obviously, in just half a year, their family has gone from taking a gamble on buying a house to now seeming to be in a state of peace of mind.

Life situations are sometimes really unpredictable.

After lunch, the three grown men who had not helped with the cooking were coaxed into the kitchen by Lin Xiuhong, and they lined up to wash dishes and clear the countertops in the kitchen.

Lin Xiuhong dragged Ying Chanxi and brought freshly cut fruit to the sofa in the living room, watching TV, eating fruit and chatting.

After washing the dishes, Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng continued to chat about national affairs and international affairs in the living room.

Li Luo sneaked back into the bedroom, planning to code for a while.

Upon seeing this, Ying Chanxi immediately followed him, slipped into his bedroom, and sat down on Li Luo's bed.

"Why are you following me here?" Li Luo glanced at her, "I have to work, please don't disturb me."

"Are you going to write a novel?" Ying Chanxi sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at him curiously, "I haven't seen you writing a novel yet."

"What's so interesting about this...isn't it just sitting in front of a computer and typing on the keyboard?"

"Then you knock, and I'll watch from the side."

"Then don't read what I wrote specifically." Li Luo couldn't do anything to her. Seeing her insistence on staying here, he could only warn her, "When I'm writing a book, if there's someone watching me write,

I can’t write anything else.”

"I know, I just won't look at it." Ying Chanxi nodded obediently.

When Li Luo saw that she had agreed, he went with her.

He took out the notebook Yan Zhusheng borrowed from her schoolbag, and took out the mechanical keyboard that Xu Youyu gave him. After setting it up and turning it on, he opened the coding software and entered the state.

As for Ying Chanxi, who was sitting on the bed, when she saw Li Luo taking out his notebook and keyboard, he secretly puffed up his mouth and suddenly thought about who gave these two things.

My two little hands were clasped in front of my belly, and my hands suddenly felt itchy. I felt like I was missing something.

After reading Li Luo's writing for about half an hour, Ying Chanxi felt a little bored, so he got out of bed and walked out of the room to cut some fruit.

While eating fruit, he took out his mobile phone to read novels, and occasionally fed Li Luo a few mouthfuls.

Li Luo's book now has more than 1.4 million words in length.

Ying Chanxi had never been exposed to online writing before, let alone read such a novel with a length of more than a million words.

When she read an online article for the first time, she still had the habit of reading traditional classics and read every sentence carefully.

Only the chapters when Mo Qinghan and Jiang Mingyue appeared could make her read a little faster.

Even so, she still looked very slowly.

I stayed up late reading last night and read almost all night, that is, I read more than 90 chapters from the first few chapters.

There are still more than five hundred chapters waiting for her.

This word count is probably enough for her to kill time during the Spring Festival.

However, as she progressed in reading, Ying Chanxi gradually felt that something was wrong with the content.

In the plot of the previous one hundred chapters.

Although Li Luo let the three female protagonists appear early, they used a lot of ink to shape them.

But in fact, except for the childhood sweethearts who have had a halo of giving since they appeared on the scene, others like Mo Qinghan and Jiang Mingyue have just met the protagonist not long ago.

It is far from revealing the kind of affection and love for the protagonist in a male and female sense.

So when Ying Chanxi read the previous part, even though he quickly skipped the plot between Mo Qinghan and Jiang Mingyue, he still understood the general plot.

It was nothing more than the opening appearance at a concert held by Mo Qinghan. As a lucky guest at the scene, the protagonist Li Yang was reborn and traveled to a parallel world. With the help of the system, he sang a song "East Wind Breaks".

Later, he formed a fate with Mo Qinghan, the little queen.

After traveling to the parallel world, Li Yang ended the plot of the concert and returned home, where he had a series of interactions with his childhood sweetheart Shen Dongdong and his plans for future development.

The plot of the first hundred chapters mainly tells the story of Li Yang using the method of copying songs and his relationship with Mo Qinghan to quickly complete capital accumulation and at the same time make a name for himself in the circle of original song creators.

At the same time, Shen Dongdong, a childhood sweetheart with dreams of becoming an actor, became a newcomer in the entertainment industry, but encountered constraints everywhere.

In the end, because I couldn't stand the director's coercion and inducement, I complained privately to Li Yang, saying that I had really misunderstood the entertainment industry. I was so frustrated that I wanted to quit and follow the arrangements of my family to work.

But at this time, Li Yang, who had completed the primitive accumulation of capital, happened to be eyeing the TV drama market at that time, so he planned a script, roped in the film and television company behind Mo Qinghan, and opened a script for a TV drama that would be relatively simple to shoot.

Because of this, Jiang Mingyue, who happened to be at a low point in the circle of TV drama actors, was introduced.

In the past, it was impossible for Jiang Mingyue to take on such a low-cost TV series, but this time she became the leading actress.

And Shen Dongdong, under the arrangement of Li Yang, became a supporting actress in the play who is easier to shine.

In this way, the plot unfolds under this arrangement.

It was also from here that Yingchanxi gradually felt something was wrong.

Because during the filming of the TV series, the interaction between Jiang Mingyue and Li Yang went from Jiang Mingyue's initial distrust to being slowly moved by the plot arrangement and impressed by Li Yang's personal charm.

Finally, after the TV series was released and became a hit, Jiang Mingyue looked at Li Yang with admiration.

He is not as insensitive to emotions as Mo Qinghan, who is relatively simple, and he is not as arrogant as Shen Dongdong, who hides his feelings towards Li Yang and never reveals them.

Jiang Mingyue is several years older than Li Yang. She is not so reserved and tactful in her emotions, but rather generous and passionate.

Starting from the plot after the first TV series, everything went wrong.

Ying Chanxi became more and more angry. Shen Dongdong didn't appear in more than ten chapters in a row. Jiang Mingyue was just jumping around in her minefield.

She was so angry that her hand trembling while holding the fork to eat the fruit.

It wasn't until Li Luo noticed something strange about her while taking a break that he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" Ying Chanxi glared at him angrily, took a vicious bite of the apple in his hand, and finally couldn't hold it back, stretched out his little feet wearing white socks and kicked Li Luo on the waist. One kick.

"Didn't you say it's nothing?! Then why are you kicking me?"

"I just want to kick you!"
Chapter completed!
