The two chatted for a few words, Shen Xin took a shovel and began to loosen the soil for the vegetable garden skillfully, when he was a child, when he was in the countryside, his grandfather Shen Haishan often caught him to work in the field, although he hadn't touched it for a long time, but the feeling was still there.

Cheng Jin Jin squatted next to her and watched seriously, pointing out a sentence or two from time to time: "Old letter, this is not okay, you see-" She pointed to a whole piece of ground that had been turned up, "You pulled up the lawn next to you." ”

"It's okay, it doesn't matter. Shen Xin replied, still working quietly.

"But it's not good-looking, look at my loose soil, how beautiful it is, it will definitely grow better than yours in the future. Cheng Jin Jin stood up, her hands on her hips, her eyes revealing contempt for recklessness.

Shen Xin was happy at once, and just as he was about to tease her, the old man's voice came from the room.

"Sumire, the sun, come and rest for a while and drink water. ”

A little old man in the room came out with a glass of water.

"Uncle Guo. Both said hello.

"Yo, Xiaoxin is also here, I was just about to go upstairs to call you, your mother explained when she went out in the morning, and you also had dinner at your uncle's house at noon. ”

Shen Xin smiled: "Okay, then I'm welcome." ”

"You two don't mess around in the ground, come on in, and wait until the sun is burning. ”

Uncle Guo is wearing a white Tai Chi suit, reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, because he was a people's teacher in his early years, so he has an old Confucian temperament, this house is lived by the old couple, their only son studied abroad, and after graduation, he found a foreign girlfriend and started a family there.

I wanted to take the old man over, but Uncle Guo was too far away and unfamiliar, so he simply bought the current house, picking up flowers and plants every day, and reading the newspaper.

The room is clean and tidy, a large bookshelf is full, Mr. Guo has a habit of collecting books, there are books of all major categories in the house, when Shen Xin came before, he liked to read the ancient ghosts and monsters such as "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "Zi Buyu", and "Sou Shen Ji", and I didn't understand it, but I felt excited.

Cheng Jin Jin and Shen Xin's interests are obviously different, she stood in front of the transparent fish tank and pointed to a small black fish with spots: "Lao Xin, come and see this fish, it's so ugly." ”

"That guy is called a scavenger, and he eats. ”

"Oh, no wonder it's so ugly. ”

When people are old, they like to be lively, Uncle Guo looked at Shen Xin and Cheng Jin Jin who were standing in front of the fish tank, and his eyes were full of joy, just like looking at his own children.

The neighbors here are all good, and they usually help each other with everything.

Cheng Jin Jin is a single-parent family, her father is doing business outside, often needs to travel, she is usually the only one at home, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, buying and cooking by herself, going to school by herself, when other people's children are still playing, she has learned to live independently.

The big guy usually looks distressed, so he keeps calling her to come over to his own house for dinner, Cheng Jin Jin was not embarrassed at first, but she couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm, and gradually became less and less, and when she was eating, she helped to do housework and tutor children to study.

Cheng's father knew about this, he wanted to give the child food money, but everyone liked this sensible and well-behaved little girl in their hearts, how could they ask for this money, Cheng's father couldn't help it, so he had to give gifts to the neighbors during the New Year's holidays.

The lunch meal is full of a large table of dishes, Mrs. Guo's cooking skills are quite good, it seems that it has been carefully prepared, the old couple does not eat much, so they vigorously pick up dishes for the children.

After the meal, Cheng Jin Jin went to help wash the dishes, and Shen Xin paced in front of the bookshelf, looking through some interesting books from time to time.

Shen Xin has always had a lot of interest in literature, before he entered the human resources industry, he used to work as a worldview architect in a game company, and also published a supernatural novel, although tepid, but can also be regarded as half a literary worker.

How many best-selling books will be published?

This thought came to Shen Xin's mind, but it was quickly extinguished again, first, he didn't remember those books that were popular in later generations, he only remembered the general plot outline, and the style of writing was difficult to imitate.

Second, he felt that this thing was just a hobby, not suitable for digging the first pot of gold, too tired, too slow, and too little.

Old man Guo was reading the newspaper on the reclining chair, as if he was angry with something, took off his reading glasses, and said: "Now these newspapers know that there are some eye-catching headlines, not to mention a few serious news, but also some advertisements." ”

Hearing this, Shen Xin suddenly felt excited, as if some important information floated through his mind.

Ad......

Advertising!

How to forget this good thing!

Shen Xin waved his arm, and he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

Excitedly said hello to Uncle Guo, and Shen Xin ran back to his house directly.

He took out a few pieces of scratch paper, bit the tip of the pen on the desk and wrote three pages with enthusiasm, and looked at it several times, and after revising and correcting it for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he moved the final version to a few blank sheets of paper.

After a whole afternoon of hard work, the basic framework of the project plan was finally completed.

That's half done.

The rest of the content has to wait until it arrives in Yangcheng before it can be supplemented according to the actual situation.

Shen Xin stretched his waist, rattled all over, casually threw the plan aside, he took a new notebook, and wrote three big characters on the title page: Trick City Record.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Xin stepped on his broken 26, walked down the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at the door of an arcade hall at the intersection.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Xin smelled a choking smell of smoke, and there was a mechanical game prompt sound in the dim room on the left, and the young men held the joystick in their hands, staring at the screen, and crackling the key hammer.

From time to time, one or two sentences come out: "Lao Tzu finally won!", "Whoever lends me a coin, this will pass me!"

The incessant rattle of the slot machine dispenser is the most beautiful music in this smoky arcade.

There are dozens of machines of all sizes that are playing, and there are a bunch of onlookers in the back, so there is occasionally a phenomenon of grabbing the machine.

In front of the counter was a young man with yellow hair, who saw Shen Xin come in and shouted, "Old Xin, I'm looking for your uncle again." ”

"yes, there's something wrong with coming to him. ”

Shen Xin walked over and handed over a cigarette.

Huang Mao took the cigarette, put it in front of his nose and took a puff, and teased: "You kid is mixed up? ”

", this is stealing my dad. ”

After a few words with Huang Mao, Shen Xin walked directly to the stairs, the uncle lived on the second floor, and he was probably playing mahjong at this time.

He had just climbed a few steps when Shen Xin heard the sound of falling things from upstairs.
