Chapter Twenty-Eight: Accidentally Trying to Recognize a Godfather
The name Chen Shiyu suddenly sounded in the world of children's literature like a thunderclap in the earth, and the four fairy tales published at the same time attracted great attention. Some long-established children's literature writers have made high praise for his four novels, and even the literary giant Ye Lao has commented that he is "teachable".
However, because the two publishing houses refused to disclose more information in addition to some basic information, this mysterious Chen Shiyu became the object of "exploration" by literary young people for a while.
Corresponding to the high praise of the literary world, the sales of books are also climbing rapidly, and the first printing of 200,000 copies of each book is quickly sold out (it is a "spiritual scarcity" era when even Xinhua dictionaries can sell millions of books), and the publishing house can only let the printing house go all out to reprint.
Chen Shiyu's sudden popularity can't help but make the two publishing houses benefit a lot, and Liu Yu and Zhong Cheng have also been promoted because of this matter. Of course, these things have nothing to do with Su Chenyu hiding behind him now, he is now delivering books everywhere.
Su Chenyu made a rare trip to school, of course, this guy didn't go to attend classes, he went to deliver books. gave two copies to his good tablemate Feng Xiaorui, two copies to his good brother Lu Lin, and of course, Tang Xiaojuan, a "female literary youth" who often came to him to discuss literature, and he also gave one to each of his teachers.
Of course, after giving away so many books, Su Chenyu also received a burst of praise and praise from teachers and classmates.
In fact, not only is he delivering books, Feng Ying is busier than him and asks her for more books. There was no way, Feng Ying could only go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy new books and give them away, and she almost didn't buy them - no way, they did sell very well. However, although Feng Ying spent a lot of money, she was still very happy, after all, this was her son's book, and other people's children were still peeing and playing with mud at this age.
Of course, Feng Ying enjoys the envious, jealous and hateful gazes of the teachers around her, which is a mother's greatest pride - the thing a mother looks forward to most in her life may be her son's birth.
Su Chenyu did not continue to dwell on this after the book was published, and he is now busy sending "Desire" to Changjiang Publishing House. This book is obviously not suitable for publication by the China Children's Literature and Art Publishing House, of course, Su Chenyu will not favor one over the other, so he sent the completed "Pokémon" over. As for the matter of "Bright Sword", he is still hesitating, after all, this book will definitely cause huge waves.
As the old saying goes, a personal debt is the most difficult to repay, and Su Chenyu is ready to repay the personal debt now, although this personal debt does not actually exist - because it is just a transaction. But Su Chenyu always felt uncomfortable, after all, people also contributed to Su Zhenbang's affairs.
So early on Sunday morning, Su Chenyu took the fresh fish and other agricultural products he caught at home and left, which was the live fish he specially told Su Zhenbang to catch from Yishui this morning. Su Zhenbang and Feng Ying didn't know who he was going to see, but they did what he asked, and they didn't ask Su Chenyu if they believed it.
Only Su Zhongping and Ye Yunxiu knew a little bit about it, and Su Chenyu should go to return the favor.
When Su Chenyu came to Tian Mingli's house, Tian Mingli hadn't left yet, and Tian Xiaolu hadn't gotten up yet. As soon as Su Chenyu entered the door, he smiled at Tian Mingli and Yu Yuexiu: "Secretary Tian, I'm here to give a gift." ”
Tian Mingli saw that Su Chenyu was holding two fish and some agricultural products, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What are you kid doing with these things?"
"Of course, I'm here to return the favor. Su Chenyu completely ignored Tian Mingli and said to himself.
Yu Yuexiu is also obviously dissatisfied with Tian Mingli's attitude, she is absolutely unambiguous in terms of right and wrong, even if it is something given by others, she will never accept it. But she was absolutely relieved about what Su Chenyu sent, and she didn't believe that Su Chenyu would harm Tian Mingli, so she said, "Lao Tian, how can you talk." This is Xiaoyu's filial piety to me, what does it have to do with you. ”
Tian Mingli saw that his wife knew that he had been completely "rebelled" by Su Chenyu, so he smiled secretly and stopped saying anything. He also knew very well that these things sent by Su Chenyu were definitely not bribes, nor were they gifts, just now he just wanted to scare and scare Su Chenyu, but he didn't expect this kid to eat this set at all.
At this time, Tian Xiaolu walked out of the bedroom in pajamas and sleepy-eyed and said, "Mom, who is it? ”
Yu Yuexiu didn't care that her daughter appeared in front of Su Chenyu like this, she didn't treat Su Chenyu as an outsider, if it was someone else, she would definitely have driven Tian Xiaolu back to the room a long time ago. However, Yu Yuexiu didn't care, it didn't mean that Tian Mingli didn't care, so Tian Mingli said to Tian Xiaolu: "Don't you see anyone coming? ”
"Xiaoyu is not an outsider, what are you afraid of?" Yu Yuexiu said dissatisfiedly to her husband.
Su Chenyu couldn't help but smile when she saw Tian Xiaolu's appearance: "Sister Xiaolu, you just got up?"
"Stinky Xiaoyu, why are you here so early?" Tian Xiaolu shouted as she ran out of the bedroom, and kept muttering: "I lost face in front of him again." ”
Tian Xiaolu's actions made Su Chenyu and Yu Yuexiu laugh loudly, and even Tian Mingli couldn't help but smile. When Tian Xiaolu came out after getting dressed and washed, she couldn't help but blush, as cute as an apple. Su Chenyu no longer teased her, but took out four books from the bag beside her and handed them to her.
Tian Xiaolu read the book and said, "Ah, these books are selling very well now, and many of my classmates are saving money to buy them." Where did you come from?"
Tian Mingli and Yu Yuexiu both cast curious glances at the book in Tian Xiaolu's hand, and Tian Mingli said, "You kid put 'sugar-coated cannonballs' again?"
"No, this is a book I wrote, which has just been published. Su Chenyu explained.
"Joke, right?" Tian Xiaolu replied casually, "There's no your name on it?"
Tian Mingli and Yu Yuexiu also looked at Su Chenyu in disbelief, as if they felt that this kid was really bragging, how could he publish a book at such a young age.
"Look at the Chenshiyu above, doesn't it feel a little familiar?" Su Chenyu didn't sell Guanzi either, so he explained: "My name is Su Chenyu, because I was born in Chenshi, and it was still raining at the time, so my grandfather named me Su Chenyu." You should understand now. ”
"Xiaoyu, did you really write it?" Yu Yuexiu took the lead in choosing to believe Su Chenyu, took a book from Tian Xiaolu's hand, looked at the author on it and said in surprise.
Su Chenyu couldn't help muttering: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have the money to buy books for her." This is a sample book sent by the publisher. ”
"This ...... This...... Is...... What did you write?" Tian Xiaolu asked in shock.
Su Chenyu looked like a very stinky fart and said to Tian Xiaolu: "Is it interesting to lie to you?"
After listening to Su Chenyu's explanation, Tian Mingli basically believed Su Chenyu's words, but this incident was too shocking for them. Tian Mingli is better, after all, a child who can talk eloquently in the face of the secretary of the county party committee can no longer be called a child, but a demon.
Yu Yuexiu was obviously the most surprised, but when she eased up, she hugged Su Chenyu in her arms and said, "Xiaoyu, you are too capable, you have become a writer at such a young age." ”
"You're really not easy, kid. Tian Mingli couldn't help but praise.
Su Chenyu said shamelessly: "That's necessary." ”
Tian Xiaolu was still stunned and didn't ease up, and Yu Yuexiu said directly: "Xiaoyu, why don't you be my son?"
Su Chenyu was also stunned by Yu Yuexiu's sudden words, and couldn't help but look at Yu Yuexiu with some distraction. At this time, Tian Xiaolu was also blown up by Yu Yuexiu's words, and when she heard her mother say this, she couldn't help but ask again in surprise: "Mom, are you serious?"
"Of course it's serious, Lao Tian, what do you say?" Yu Yuexiu said very seriously.
Tian Mingli didn't expect his wife to suddenly talk about this, and he really likes Su Chenyu's kid very much, and the two families are also considered to be close friends, right? However, Tian Mingli considered the matter more comprehensively, so he said: "Of course I agreed, but I also have to ask this kid's parents to agree." ”
"Yes, Xiaoyu, you will ask your parents when you go back today. When Yu Yuexiu heard Tian Mingli say this, she felt that what her husband said was reasonable.
"Of course I do, I'll ask my mom and dad when I get back today. After Su Chenyu reacted, although he inexplicably asked for more than one "godfather", he still hurriedly said.
Tian Xiaolu looked at this posture and knew that this matter was almost done, but she felt that it was not bad to have such a younger brother.
Su Chenyu naturally spent a happy Sunday at Tian's house, and when he went back in the evening, Yu Yuexiu repeatedly told him that he must ask his parents about getting married, and Su Chenyu naturally agreed.
When he got home, the family was eating, so Su Chenyu moved a stool and sat down at the dining table. Feng Ying saw that Su Chenyu came back so late, and couldn't help but say a little angrily: "People didn't invite you to dinner?"
"Of course please, why don't you come back so late?" Su Chenyu obviously knew that Feng Ying was worried that he would come back too late, so he teased her and said deliberately.
Feng Ying listened to Su Chenyu's tone, looked at Su Chenyu's appearance again, and said angrily: "Yo, other people's food is more fragrant than your own?"
"Of course the food at the county party secretary's house is fragrant. ”
Everyone at the table stopped their chopsticks and looked up at Su Chenyu, obviously not expecting him to say this. Su Zhenbang looked at Su Chenyu and said, "What did you really eat at Secretary Tian's house?"
Feng Ying was stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked in surprise: "Yes, how did you get into a relationship with Secretary Tian?"
"You asked him for help last time. Su Zhongping continued to hold the dishes and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. Su Chenyu said, and then honestly explained everything about him and Tian Xiaolu, as well as the things that followed.
Ye Yunxiu, who was on the side, suddenly said: "Xiaoyu, I handled it well last time, and I know how to use my strength." ”
Su Chenyu scratched her head embarrassedly, and then said again: "I may want more than one godfather, Aunt Yu wants to recognize me as a son." ”
"What?" Feng Ying put down the dishes and chopsticks and shouted, "Think of you as a godson?"
"Really?" asked Su Zhenbang with some surprise.
Su Chenyu looked at everyone's surprised gazes, and quickly replied, "Of course it's true." ”
"Secretary Tian also agreed?" asked Su Zhongping.
"Yes"
"Zhenbang, you can make up your mind about this matter. Su Zhongping listened to Su Chenyu's words and continued to eat, and then said to Su Zhenbang.
Su Zhenbang thought for a while and said, "Since Secretary Tian can see Xiaoyu, I have no reason to object." ”
"Xiaoyu, it's good to have such a godfather. However, Feng Ying on the side happily agreed.
"Then I'll go and tell Aunt Sù Yu tomorrow, and she will ask me to reply to her tomorrow. Su Chenyu saw that Su Zhenbang and Feng Ying agreed, so he said.
The next day, Su Chenyu conveyed Su Zhenbang and Feng Ying's replies to Yu Yuexiu and Tian Mingli, and the two immediately decided to go to Su Chenyu's house this weekend.
