  Chapter 229【229】Meet father-in-law and mother-in-law

When Zhang Shouyi and Fang Qianxue returned home, it was past three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Yang's brother and sister were playing cards with their grandfather and a neighbor downstairs. Zhang Yang lost four or five games in a row. Zhang Wei was probably worried that his brother would be embarrassed to speak out by himself, and was very considerate He took the initiative to help introduce the situation: "Parents, are you back? Come and see, come and see, my brother has lost five games in a row!"

Zhang Yang didn't care about this, but felt that after his parents entered the door, they seemed to give him a special look, which made him a little guilty, and finally caught the card with the king, played three generations and was intercepted, and the card could not be played again. , Seeing my father look at me again, I finally couldn't help asking: "Dad, why do you always look at me?"

Zhang Shouyi sat down next to him, coughed, and then said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay... Today I went with your mother to visit that Teacher Fang, whose son even mentioned you, the one who is a professor at Jiangnan University. "

  Zhang Weiqi said: "What does he say my brother is doing?"

   "As for the song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", Mr. Gao—the son of Mr. Gao..."

  Zhang Wei interface said: "Professor Gao."

   "Well, Professor Gao, I said that many people feel that "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" is written distortedly, and feel that young people nowadays don't know the history of Beizhou Anniversary, and they should promote national humiliation education to let people know..."

  Zhang Yang was taken aback for a moment, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? He waited for his father to finish speaking and asked, "What's the name of that Professor Gao?"

  Zhang Shouyi thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called...Gao Yongnian." Then he turned his head and asked Fang Qianxue, "Is it called Gao Yongnian?"

Fang Qianxue nodded, probably heard about the incident on Weibo from Gao Yongnian, she smiled and said nothing, although at the teacher's side, because of her son, her face was full of brilliance, but now she is ostentatious. "The limelight is in full swing", she didn't want to say more, so as not to add to Zhang Yang's arrogance.

   When a teenager becomes famous, pride is inevitable, but it is better to have less or less.

  Zhang Shouyi wanted to show off more with his son, but there were outsiders here, and his wife glared at him, so he kept silent and watched the game of cards beside him.

  Gao Yongnian turned out to be the son of his mother's "mentor", which was a bit surprising, but it didn't have much impact other than making his parents proud.

  Stayed at my grandmother's house for two days. After dinner on the evening of the fifth day, Zhang Yang's family returned to Qingcheng from Jinjiang Airport. There was a class reunion at noon on the sixth day. He and Lin Yiran went together.

  The relationship between the two has become a "household name". Naturally, everyone in the class knows about it. It is inevitable that there will be some jokes at the party. Zhang Yang is thick-skinned anyway and doesn't care. Lin is still a little shy, but more happy.

I didn’t encounter any troubles with a crush. I ate, chatted, and sang. The two sang a song "Thousands of Miles Away" together. The rest of the time was spent chatting and playing games with others. I left in the evening and went shopping together. I plan to bring some presents to Lin Yiran's house tomorrow.

  Parents have already started to help prepare gifts, the dried fruit dried by grandpa, the honey brewed by relatives at aunt, and the rice cakes, dried persimmons and meat dumplings made by grandma. If Lin Yiran hadn't taken the gift prepared by the old man when he came to the door, Fang Qianxue probably wouldn't prepare these homemade things because he couldn't decide what Lin Canghai and his wife liked. , but Yulin still made an example, and obviously valued such a gift more, so she naturally "followed what she liked".

Lin still helped Zhang Yang decide to buy a set of skin care products for Su Hui, an electric toothbrush that Dad wanted to replace, a massager for Aunt Kong, and a spare tea set, two silk scarves, and a belt, which were considered preparations. It's relatively complete.

   Zhang Yang wanted to give her grandpa and grandpa two gifts, but he couldn't think of what to give, and Lin still had no idea, so he finally decided to bring three sets of signed collector's edition complete works of "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

According to the practice of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was serialized for the last time on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the physical book went on sale on the same day, and a sentence ""The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was added after the end of "The Complete Book". The four volumes of "The Legend of Heroes" are on sale".

According to management, the Old Man’s Publishing House sent Zhang Yang a set of hardcover editions, and the number of collector’s editions increased to 20 sets—because more people know his identity now, Zhang Yang was worried that ten sets would not be enough, so he deliberately ordered ten more sets. .

  Bringing the gifts he bought back home, Zhang Yang began to think about how to write the postscript. The main difficulty was how to address it. Lin Canghai was better, just called "Uncle". What should the other two old people call? Grandpa Lin? Grandpa Su?

  Lin was still a little embarrassed, probably a little shy, the two discussed for a long time, and then went to ask their mother, and finally adopted Fang Qianxue's suggestion, and only wrote the four characters "Give it to Zhang Yang".

  In order not to be special, Zhang Yang also omitted the name of the set given to Lin Canghai. The three sets are the same, and only have the four characters of respect.

   After Zhang Yang finished writing, he went out of the study room, and saw his father going downstairs with his things, and asked strangely, "Dad, why are you going?"

   "Let me help you take your things downstairs first."

"Need not."

   Zhang Yang was very speechless, but his objection was ineffective. Seeing that Zhang Shouyi had already gone down with his things, he had no choice but to follow suit with the books. He found that there were quite a lot of presents, and the trunk was almost full.

In the evening, Zhang Yang was dictating "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" alone in his study, but he couldn't concentrate, and there were many typos. He simply stopped and concentrated on thinking about how to behave tomorrow, but it didn't help. Why are my legs weak in fright.

In order not to give Xiao Nizi a chance to laugh at himself, Zhang Yang did not ask her for help, because it was meaningless, but just seeking inner comfort—he struggled in the study for a while, but still couldn't calm down, so he asked Lin Yiran for help. hacked Yang Yuting's WeChat account.

  The "Chu Chu" on Lingxi has been basically confirmed to be Yang Yuting, but Zhang Yang sent her a message to confirm the scale that can be written in "Yitian", so naturally he has to show his identity.

   "Why are you looking for Yuting?"

   "The new book may involve the situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. I'm a bit uncertain. I'll ask her if I can write it."

   "Isn't the new book a follow-up to "The Legend of Condor Heroes"?"

"yes."

   "It's been more than a hundred years from the Southern Song Dynasty to the end of the Yuan Dynasty. You don't want to write about the protagonist saving Zhang Shicheng, do you?"

According to Jin Lao’s original text, Zhang Shicheng is just a young man under Zhang Wuji’s hands...the more ambitious one... Zhang Yang secretly complained, but he has already confirmed that he will basically write according to the original text, only about Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, and will not write. When it comes to Zhang Shicheng, I just want to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang lost to Zhang Shicheng in the end, which Zhang Wuji did not expect at the time.

   "No, but the Yuan Dynasty is not easy to write about. You can't write about Mongolia being invincible and treating the Han people as slaves, right? It would be better to skip directly to the end of the Yuan Dynasty."

   "What about Guo Xiang?" Lin still remembered his little Guo Xiang, "You said you would write about her."

   "I wrote it, don't worry."

   "How could it be the end of the Yuan Dynasty? Guo Xiang lived to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, right?"

   Zhang Yang felt helpless, "How about I send you the manuscript directly."

  Lin still hesitated for a while, and said: "Forget it, everything is difficult at the beginning, anyway, it will be serialized tomorrow."

   "Your understanding of this sentence is really unique."

   Zhang Yang was a little funny, and reminded: "There will be an issue tomorrow, and only the title of the serialized book next Saturday will be announced."

   "Then I won't read it in advance, and I have to wait in advance to read it in advance."

  Lin still hummed twice, sent him Yang Yuting's contact information, and then asked, "Are you nervous?"

   "Why are you nervous?" Zhang Yang pretended to be stupid.

  Lin still hummed twice, with a smug smile, "You're just pretending to be nervous, right?"

  Zhang Yang snorted, "I'm just going to your house, what's there to be nervous about? Besides, I've already met your parents, okay?"

  …

  After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang sent Yang Yuting a friend application, and soon received a reminder that he was approved. He was hesitating how to greet him, and Yang Yuting sent a message first: "Your new book is going to be written at the end of Yuan Dynasty?"

   Zhang Yang: "Uh, what did Yiyi tell you?"

  Yang Yuting: "Yes."

  Yang Yuting: "How are you going to write it?"

   Zhang Yang: "Writing about Zhu Yuanzhang shows the anti-Yuan contributions of Zhu Yuanzhang, Han Lin'er and others. It should only mention that Zhu Yuanzhang lost to Zhang Shicheng."

  Yang Yuting: "That's okay, it's true that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang opposed Yuan, just like Xiang Yu opposed Qin, what's the matter?"

  Zhang Yang: "As long as you can write, I'm afraid I'll have to change the outline."

  Yang Yuting: "Didn't Yiyi say you could write about Guo Xiang?"

   Zhang Yang: "Can write."

  Yang Yuting: "Is it more than a hundred years from the Southern Song Dynasty to the end of the Yuan Dynasty?"

   Zhang Yang: "..."

  Yang Yuting: "I'll just ask, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's new book."

  Zhang Yang: "Tomorrow there will only be a preview, and the serialization will start next Saturday."

  Yang Yuting: "Okay, when will your new album be released?"

   Zhang Yang: "Didn't you just post it?"

  Yang Yuting: "I mean the next album."

   Zhang Yang: "[Goodbye]"

   Zhang Yang: "Let's not talk about it, code words."

  Yang Yuting: "Yes."

  Although Yang Yuting does not "manage affairs", but with her special status, with her words, if any troubles caused by writing about the end of the Yuan Dynasty in the future, it will be easier to solve.

Due to the delay of "The Three-Body Problem", although Zhang Yang started preparing for "Yitian" early on, the dictation has not saved too many manuscripts. Now he is dictating 14 chapters, and only 300,000 to 400,000 words have been saved... This makes Every time he thinks of this place, he feels a sense of security when recalling the days when he wrote online novels in his previous life.

This time, Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui had just embarked on the journey of ten thousand miles to the west. On the way, they met the person who had been rescued in the Butterfly Valley, but the other party wanted to eat him and Yang Buhui. Zhang Wuji poisoned him to death with poisonous mushrooms. , Then met Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

When Zhang Yang wrote here, he deliberately stopped and searched for Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance description. There is no Qing Dynasty in this world, so naturally there is no such thing as deliberately vilifying Zhu Yuanzhang in order to discredit the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Yang doesn't have to be like Jin Lao for respect Historical materials describe Zhu Yuanzhang as a toad with pimples all over his face. If Zhu Chongba really looks like that ghost, why would Guo Zixing marry his beloved daughter to such an ugly monk who wants money, money, and power? There may not be a future Zhu Yuanzhang.

   As for what Zhu Yuanzhang looks like, it doesn’t really matter. After consulting some information, Zhang Yang finally decided that he has a square face, thick eyebrows, and a heroic look, so he won’t describe it too much.

This time there is a lot of content. Zhang Yang has a manuscript in his hand, so he is not in a hurry. He finalized some content to be changed, and checked some information. Seeing that the time is not early, he went to bed early and recharged his energy to go tomorrow. Happy New Year to father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Woke up early the next morning, it was just dawn, Zhang Yang opened the curtains, and found that it was snowing again, after breakfast, he hid in his room and practiced smiling in front of the mirror for half an hour, until he didn’t know how to smile anymore, Still not knowing how to behave the most, he simply broke the can and looked at the time. At 8:40, he greeted Lin Yiran and went out directly.

   Then I found out that the time agreed with Zhang Hongkang was 9:30, so I had to call him again and set off early. Zhang Hongkang took a taxi and then drove him there.

   Along the way, Zhang Hongkang glanced at Zhang Yang from time to time, and Zhang Yang rolled his eyes, so Zhang Hongkang held back a smile and asked, "Are you nervous?"

   "Don't be nervous, what's there to be nervous about?"

   "Then you still forgot to fasten your seat belt just now."

   "It has nothing to do with nervousness."

Zhang Hongkang smiled. He probably felt that he is the boss now, so he didn’t provoke him any further. Zhang Yang’s house went to Lin Yiran’s house by bus for half an hour, and he drove for about 20 minutes. He soon arrived at Qingshan Lake. The car drove past the word “Qinglong Mountain Villa” Qingshi was stopped by the security guards. After Zhang Yang poked his head out and explained that he was looking for No. 11, the security guards who knew he was looking for Lin Yiran dutifully called to confirm, and then let him in.

Zhang Yang guided the way according to his memory. The snow had not stopped outside, and a layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground. In the vast expanse of whiteness, he could see Lin still wearing a big red down jacket looking around at the gate from a distance. She hadn't seen him yet. Passed by this car, but saw the car approaching from a distance, slowing down in front of the door, so I guessed it, turned around and said something inside, waved Yaoyao's hand, and walked out in small steps.

Zhang Yang and Zhang Hongkang got out of the car, opened the trunk to get things, she had already opened the courtyard door, followed by a 40-year-old woman, who was obviously Aunt Kong, and Lin Canghai and Su Hui came out from the back door .

   Zhang Yang suddenly felt a little weak in his legs.
