Although the 'Gourmet Corner' was open very well, Chen Yi-yong did not continue to expand. The first is that there were not enough staff and there were not so many service staff. The three of them did not have the energy to manage too many shops. The second is that the Shaffer people are still very xenophobic. A small food shop mainly engages in packing takeaway business. Even if the business is good, the locals will not take it too seriously. However, if this store expands to several in the entire Conton town, it will be more or less resistant to locals.
Moreover, Chen Yi-Yi is not planning to do any business in Shafrey in this conservative era. The most important thing she has at present is to study hard and graduate excellently. After all, she is still an attendee, so it is not easy to be admitted. By the time she graduated, she does not have a degree certificate and only has one graduation certificate. Fortunately, she has a blind admiration for Western universities in China, so certificates and other issues are not too big.
In the second year of her study at Condon University, Chen Yi-chan began to take the second Western literature course. Huang Wei-chan studied Western literature, and she could guide her. She studied this course entirely by Mrs. Cavendish. The old lady usually discussed some Western writers and writing styles with her. Chen Yi-chan didn't know much, but she didn't want to make her gap too much, so she often went to the library to read or read books at the old lady's house.
After a long time, the old lady suddenly suggested that she take such a course and said, "Since you are interested in this and have spent so much time on it, why not study it systematically?"
Chen Yiyan considered the current economics course progress. After a year of study, her grades have stabilized. Although she is not among the top, she can also ensure that she will not be dropped out of the school after failing the course, so she took Western literature courses.
When she took this course, the content of her daily chat with Mrs. Cavendish was to discuss writers and literary works such as Shakespeare, Byron, Keats, and others. They often made an appointment to go to the Grand Theater in Shaffer City to watch Bernard Shaw's dramas. Both of them especially liked watching this ironic black humor. They could watch a play more than ten times without getting bored.
Huang Weitian went with the two of them to see it once and didn't like it anymore. She thought to herself: Jiahe's taste is really similar to that of the old lady...
At the beginning of spring this year, Chen Yiyan and the old lady planted vegetables, but in fact they took some large flower pots to plant some spinach, lettuce, and even small vegetables like cabbage that are easy to live and grow rapidly. The old lady waters the vegetables every day and occasionally eats the vegetables she grows. Her mood gradually becomes less obscure and begins to pursue life.
By the time the old lady’s birthday was mid-year, Chen Yiyu gave her a puppy. Some people used to say that a cat is like a woman and needs its owner to love it. A dog is like a man. It will appear around when its owner needs it. So Chen Yiyu gave the old lady a shepherd dog. The puppy looked cute and soft when he was a child, but when he grew up, he became bigger and bigger.
Fortunately, Mrs. Cavendish also had a housekeeper. Because of this dog, the housekeeper specially brought a young maid from Shaffer's house. In addition to cleaning diligently every day, the maid was also responsible for consuming a lot of physical strength from the shepherd dog and finally could accompany the old lady to take a walk slowly.
Chen Yiyan also often cooks some delicious food to share with the old lady. Many times, Seed is also around, and occasionally Huang Weitian and Xiao Zhuma come over. Later, even the eldest lady joined in. As the number of young people became more and more lively, the place where she lived became more lively. The old lady's heart gradually became warmer. She didn't always think about her dead husband and son. She began to gradually improve a lot, and her body no longer needed medicine.
Seid was very grateful to Chen Yi-yong in his heart, and even told Minister Cavendish about these things that happened in daily life.
He said: "It is God's arrangement to be able to be saved by these two ladies when my aunt is sick." He also thanked Chen Yiqi in his heart for helping the old lady. Chen Yiqi did not persuade the old lady to live well and work hard to improve, but instead used practical actions to moisten things and silently moisten the old lady's desire to live.
Seid has been in contact with Chen Yiyan more and more in the past six months. Somehow, every time I see her, I always remember the scene of kissing Chen Yiyan at the makeup party that day, and I always feel a warm face.
In the second semester of Chen Yi-chan's study of Western literature, the old lady told her that day: "You can actually try writing it yourself."
Chen Yiyan said: "I have contributed to Chinese newspapers and have written them regularly." Although I have not written so frequently recently, she has published more than 30 articles in the past year and is also a well-known writer in China.
The old lady said: "It's not Chinese characters, it's in English."
Chen Yiyi was worried about her English level and could not write such beautiful words.
But the old lady encouraged her to try it out, "Do you think you can't do it, so don't you label yourself?"
The old lady means, "You write such travel notes in China, after all, it is not a long-term event. You are just a columnist, but if you have a literary work that is outstanding, it will be considered to be a real tense, and the status between these literary works is also very similar to that between countries. If you stand firm in Shaffer, when someone translates your literary works back to China in the future, your identity will be different."
When Chen Yiyan heard this, the old lady came to the forefront. Besides, she tried now, and Huang Weitian and the old lady were there to check it. If she wrote it well, she would post it. If she couldn't write well, she would practice writing. So Chen Yiyan began to conceive and search for information on her first English novel.
The old lady said at this time: "Actually, the book you brought me before to write about a man Zhou Xuan's idea among many ladies is actually good. Many ideas in literary history are actually very similar, it depends on how the author writes it. For example, the "Host and Gardener" we have read, even if it is a forbidden book, it is also a great forbidden book. Its plot is very monotonous, but it does not harm the fact that every reader secretly hides one at home."
Chen Yiqiu thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out. She wanted to write a book that alluded to him based on Lu Yunhe. Later, she felt bored and wasted her time quarreling with him. It was really not worth it. In addition, her writing style was not good, so she gave up.
But in fact, if a man Zhou Xuan writes a good book among women, it is an attractive love novel. If he doesn't write well, it is a erotic novel. However, although the love-erotic novel and pure erotic novel only have different orders, the connotation is different.
After Chen Yiyan figured it out, he set the tone of the novel and began to write the beginning. Here the heroine and the hero meet. The two fell in love. They quickly broke through the world and joined together. They even went through many difficulties to get married. However, the man soon met other women. It turned out that the hero was a romantic "philatelic collector". The heroine gradually faded away his enthusiasm because he couldn't let go of his sex. The heroine later abandoned her shame and began to be at the mercy of the hero. Later, in order to seek excitement, the two began various extraordinary paths of seeking excitement...
This idea passed the old lady's review very smoothly, especially when the old lady read the beginning of her writing, saying: "Well, keep the writing style in a delicate and delicate state, and you must grasp the standard between emotions and colors. There are psychological descriptions of two people, such a feeling of struggle and entanglement, and even the feeling of men blaming themselves but unable to control them, these descriptions must be detailed."
Although Chen Yiqian gave up his idea of ​​writing allusions to eliminate Lu Yunhe, in this article she still vigorously criticized the shame and guilt of this romantic man. The prototype of his birth is there and it is really impossible to change.
Chen Yiyan's life was rolling forward in such a busy life. During this period, the third brother Chen Jiabang came to see her. The third brother was going to study in Germany and came to see her. Chen Yiyan was full of affection for her third brother. The third brother was her only concubine. The two were more than one year apart. When they were young, they often played with each other. Perhaps it was because of this that the third brother in his previous life was the best person he treated her after Lu Yunhe abandoned her.
Even in her previous life when she was pregnant to the later stages, it was difficult for her to take care of herself, and the third brother was watching her. The third brother was delicate by nature. His mother was an extremely cowardly aunt and never dared to make rash things in front of her mother. The third brother grew up with her aunt and developed a delicate personality. He was also extremely emotional, just like when the third brother heard that she divorced Lu Yunhe, his eyes would be red. It is hard to imagine what the scene of a tall and thin man with fair skin looked at her with red eyes in this era of admiration for men.
But this is her third brother, a man with a soft heart, a little crying and a cowardly personality. In fact, she said that he was cowardly and was not at all cowardly. In the early 1940s, he moved abroad to settle down very decisively. At that time, she and her elder brother and the second brother who stayed in China still believed that the domestic situation had improved and continued to stay for a long time. Until the war broke out in full swing, they were already displaced. Later, it was the third brother who sent them money, and everyone gradually improved.
So Chen Yiyan was really full of emotion towards her third brother. The third brother looked at her and said, "Second sister, why did you divorce him?" Then Chen Yiyan told the third brother the whole divorce process with emotion. In fact, when she talked to her second brother about this, she only said two or three words in a simple way, but she could tell her many things, even exaggeratingly saying how sad she was, which made her cry and her nose burst into tears.
Well, when she saw her third brother crying like this, her eyes were red and her voice was sobbing, she had a bad taste. Later, she coaxed her third brother for a while before she burst into tears and laughed. Then Chen Yiyan took her third brother around the campus of Condon University, took him to eat delicious food, introduced him to Huang Weitian, the eldest lady, and even Xiao Zhuma and others.
The third brother had to get up and go to Germany before staying for too long. The reason why the third brother went to Germany to study was because the German mark depreciated, and the price of studying there was relatively cheap. On the other hand, the third brother was actually a pragmatist in his heart. He studied equipment subjects, and he had to go to Germany.
But this time is different from the last time. Last time she couldn't take care of herself and couldn't help her third brother. This time she prepared a lot of things for her third brother, clothes, shoes, socks, etc. The third brother said: "My mother has prepared for me in China, so she doesn't have to bring so much."
Chen Yiqian said, "How could my mother know what is popular in the West? Bring you some Western clothes and utensils to avoid being slaughtered as a local bun." The third brother's eyes turned red again.
Later, the third brother carried a bunch of things on the train. Chen Yiyan sent him 300 marks every month, so that his third brother could live a good life in Germany. When Chen Yiyan thought about the scene when she was eight or nine months pregnant in her previous life, her calves were swollen, and her third brother often rubbed her legs, so she couldn't help but treat him well.
