Looking at the manuscript on the table, Yu Dong smiled, then stood up and replaced his tea cup with a pinch of new tea leaves.
When the new tea leaves were brewed, he walked to the corridor outside.
It was already very hot in Jinling in early June, but the two rows of camphor planted in front of the apartment building left a shade. Yu Dong stood on the corridor and lowered his head to see Yu Hua and the others playing cards under the shade of the trees.
Bi Feiyu had just played a hand of cards and wanted to stretch his neck. He looked up and saw Yu Dong standing in the corridor watching them.
"Hey, why is Yu Yuanwai free now?"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "The writing is finished."
Bi Feiyu was stunned: "Is it finished?"
The other three people also raised their heads.
"Did you finish writing?"
Yu Hua threw the cards in his hand on the table and ran upstairs. Bi Feiyu was behind and didn't catch him.
Mo Yan put the cards on the table with a smile and walked upstairs.
Here Yu Hua has already gone upstairs, "I've finished writing, where is the manuscript?"
Yu Dong blinked and looked at Yu Hua: "You're in the study, what are you doing?"
"What should I do? Let me see. I want to see what masterpiece you wrote after two months of retreat." He said and went into the room.
Yu Dong grabbed him by the collar and said, "If you say that, I won't show it to you."
"Let go, this is the little coat your sister-in-law just bought for me."
When the two of them were fighting, Mo Yan also walked up. He ignored the two of them and went directly into the room. Then he went to the study to get the manuscript and sat on the sofa.
Yu Hua shouted: "You Mo Yan, you are stealing a chicken, right?"
Mo Yan stared at the manuscript without even looking at Yu Hua, "I advise you to say something nice to me. Feiyu and Xiaobo will come up soon, and I have the final say as to who will read after me."
."
Yu Hua was able to bend and stretch, and walked over with a smile: "I will get up early tomorrow morning and pick the cucumbers grown by Feiyu for you to eat."
Mo Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Sit down next to me. I'll give it to you after reading the first page."
Bi Feiyu and Wang Xiaobo also came up here and asked Yu Dong who was standing at the door, "Where are they two?"
Yu Dong pursed his lips and said, "We are arranging seats inside."
"In a hurry." Bi Feiyu walked over with a smile, and then placed two stacks of cards in front of Yu Hua and Mo Yan: "These are the cards for you two. After reading the book, we can renew our relationship."
Yu Hua and Mo Yan were interested in him and stared at Yu Dong's new book.
Bi Feiyu and Wang Xiaobo looked at each other and smiled, and then sat next to them, waiting for Yu Hua and Mo Yan to finish reading before they watched.
…
They were reading the manuscript, while Yu Dong ran downstairs and lay comfortably on the recliner left by Yu Hua.
The afternoon sun was blocked by the thick leaves. A gust of wind blew through the leaves and stirred the leaves, allowing the sun to get through the gaps.
The sunlight that sneaked through had just touched the corner of Yu Dong's clothes when it was brushed away by the leaves again.
Yu Dong closed his eyes, as if he could hear the sound of sunlight sneaking in and escaping quietly, which also took his thoughts away. Along the road beside the playground, the chirping of cicadas, shouts, and the sound of water waves slowly mixed together.
, make summer rich and warm.
To repay the good times, it is naturally a big dream.
So, Yu Dong fell asleep.
When Dong woke up, the sun was already hanging in the west, waiting to get off work.
He rubbed his eyes drowsily, and then went upstairs to his home in a daze.
Mo Yan's foursome were still sitting on the sofa, still in the same position as before Yu Dong went downstairs.
"Haven't you finished reading yet?" Yu Dong muttered.
Wang Xiaobo, who was last in line, looked at Yu Dong and said, "It's such a long article. I can't finish it in a while. I guess it will take a while."
"Then take your time and watch. I'm going to cook. Teacher Cheng will be back soon."
Cheng Yanqiu was in the piano room this afternoon, giving tutoring lessons to a few students who were going to participate in the competition. He definitely wouldn't have time to come back and cook.
When Yu Hua heard the word "rice", he nodded and said, "Well, don't make it too meaty. I've been eating a lot of meat recently. I don't drink liquor. I'll get some beer and chill it with well water."
Yu Dong rolled his eyes: "Did I say I would keep you for dinner?"
Yu Hua patted the manuscript in his hand: "We have been working hard to help you proofread the manuscript. Now I have found more than a dozen typos and even a grammatical problem. It can't be justified if you don't treat us to a meal.
"
Yu Dong was too lazy to pay attention to Yu Hua, but it was impossible for him to really ignore Yu Hua and the others.
Since we want to take care of it, we might as well call Fu Jing and the others. We haven't had a dinner party together in a while, so we can have a good meal tonight.
But it was getting late, and it was too late for him to start cooking now, so he simply called the restaurant at the door to have the food cooked and delivered, and by the way, there was also the cold beer Yu Hua asked for.
He was almost busy here, and Mo Yan took the lead in reading the manuscript.
Mo Yan held the last page of the manuscript, tilted his head and looked at Yu Dong, and muttered, "How did you write a suspenseful story that touches the depths of human nature? Or, in other words, how did you write a story that goes so deeply into human nature?
Is it written in such a suspenseful way?"
"Is it suspenseful?" Yu Dong asked with a smile.
"It's suspenseful. When I first started reading it, I thought it was a suspenseful mystery novel. But as I read it, I felt it was a bit magical and realistic. After watching it, I realized that this is all a trick you are playing, and it is still realism.
Mo Yan shook his head and said, "I like how you handled the curse very much. You didn't deny the curse directly, but blurred it. I know that you didn't do this because you wanted to make some fuss about the curse."
Damn it, but because things like curses are integrated into life, and what happened to the Qin family later is indeed closely related to this curse."
Yu Dong nodded: "Mo Yan, you did a good job in reading comprehension. I really thought so. Originally, I wanted to express this idea further, but after thinking about it, I left it there and let the readers figure it out on their own.
Think about it.”
Yu Hua finished reading the manuscript in his hand and tugged at Mo Yan with his hand: "Hurry and give me the last one."
Mo Yan gave the final manuscript to Yu Hua and said: "Actually, I still feel it is a pity in some places. For example, you did not describe A Yuan's past in detail. This person is unknown. We only know that he was originally a tailor. Later,
He suddenly became an underground party member, and you didn't even tell which side he was from."
Yu Dong didn't say anything, but Yu Hua said: "Those details are insignificant, so it's better not to write them down. I think Yu Yuanwai's handling is good. The trunk is clear and strong, but too many twigs and leaves are not good."
Chapter completed!
