Chapter 345, School Closure
As one of the first 12 writers to enter the Homeland Chinese Network, Li Ningfeng is now the chief writer of the historical literature of the Homeland Network. His "1911 New China" has been growing since it was put on the shelves for a few months, and although the creativity, setting, and framework of this book were all told to him by Li He earlier, Li Ningfeng has completely replaced the original author in another time and space with his own understanding and efforts.
In the first month of its release, Li Ningfeng's manuscript fee was more than 3,000, and in the latest month, Li Ningfeng's subscription share has also exceeded 10,000. In the spring of 2003, in this era when online text charging had just begun, Li Ningfeng undoubtedly became a great god.
He and his girlfriend Cao Jing originally rented a small house on the back street of the school, which is the kind of rental house built by local residents, just a single room, and even the toilet is shared on the floor. There were a lot of college couples like them in the building, and because the building was at the intersection of several schools, they were able to meet students from other schools. At that time, this phenomenon was not very common, but it could be said to be very common.
Li Ningfeng and Cao Jing, like other young couples, still go to school when they should go to school, and they also return to the dormitory when they encounter strict inspection by the dormitory management. Although the proportion of many young couples who can really live this kind of small life into a real couple is not high, and more of them break up because of employment and geography when they graduate from college, but no matter what, it is a part of their college life.
At that time, they had almost nothing, and what they had was the love and ideals of their youth. But love and ideals can't match reality after all, and graduation and breakup are the most common ending.
Li Ningfeng didn't know what the final outcome would be for him and Cao Jing, they were not from the same place, Cao Jing was the kind of person who had a clear goal as soon as he entered the university, and he had to stay in the provincial capital to work and live no matter what. She studied very hard, she got a lot of scholarships since her freshman year, she actively participated in various student activities, and she was also a popular figure in the law department, and because of the relationship between her major, she often worked part-time outside the school since her junior year, and the income was not high.
In fact, when the two dormitories first met, Cao Jing had a good impression of Li Ningfeng. Among the several boys in the friendship room, Li Ningfeng's appearance is not the most outstanding, but he always has a silly smile and a good temper, Cao Jing didn't like Qi Siyuan, she liked Li He, she felt that Li Ningfeng's silly smile was very similar to the little brother next door when she was a child. However, when Li Ningfeng began to pursue her, Cao Jing refused, the reason was that Li Ningfeng did not like to study. She often sees Li Ningfeng spending a lot of time on the football field, in the computer room, and drinking and eating with her brothers in the dormitory of the class, and she feels that such a boy can't give her hope for the future.
Later, the peak and loop turned around, from Li Ningfeng, Li He, and Sang Quinoa They began to write, and she saw Li Ningfeng's serialized "Infinite Horror" on the "Homeland Road" founded by Li He.
"Do you want to be really alive?"
Cao Jing, who is working hard and feels out of breath many times, doesn't know what the future will be, and I don't know if she is really alive if she works hard like this. Of course, she knew that she and reality were two worlds, but she began to like Li Ningfeng.
In fact, at that time, Li Ningfeng wrote "Infinite Terror" very painfully, and the idea that Li He threw to him made him very excited, but the structure and the development of the plot were still too difficult for him, I don't know if the original author knew that his infinite flow of pioneering work was thrown by Li He to a rookie as an online training work, would he be so angry that he vomited blood, but Li Ningfeng really felt that he couldn't write it many times.
At that time, it was Cao Jing who gave him a lot of encouragement, she pulled him to the library, let him design the framework of the characters and story development on paper, she accompanied him to the computer room, when Li Ningfeng was tapping on the keyboard, she sat silently on the side and read her law book, they often walked together, went out to exercise in the morning, Cao Jing felt that no matter how hard she worked, she still had to have a healthy body.
Until one day, Li Ningfeng took Cao Jing's hand when she sent her back to the dormitory, and they walked together like this.
Now, with the skyrocketing salary of Li Ningfeng (at that time, the monthly income of a new recruit in a provincial agency was less than 1,000 during the probationary period), they also moved out of the rental building in the back street and rented a two-bedroom apartment in the teacher's quarter. Of course, the environment in the teaching area is much better than the back street, the landlord is a retired old teacher, because he has to go to other places to take his grandson, so he rented out the house, but the school does not allow students to rent a house and live together, so Li Ningfeng also asked Li He to help him get a certificate of illness, and the old teacher agreed to rent the house to him on the grounds of recuperation.
Cao Jing likes this house very much now, if the noisy rental house in the back street is a love nest built by the two of them, then she regards it as her home here. Now that they're seniors, the school is also turning a blind eye to a lot of things for seniors, and they have more time to stay "home." Li Ningfeng decided to be a full-time writer, not looking for a job, just writing online articles at home, Cao Jing is also very supportive of him, but she herself keeps shuttling through various exams, in her words, the two of them must have a stable job, so that they have the most basic ability to resist risks.
It was the weekend, Cao Jing didn't go to work at the office where she worked, she went out early in the morning to buy vegetables, because several sisters in her class were coming to eat in the afternoon, and she had to prepare well.
All men are vain.
When she first started with Li Ningfeng, several sisters who played well said that she and Li Ningfeng lost money together, after all, compared to Cao Jinglai, who was famous in the law department, Li Ningfeng was much more unknown. But now Li Ningfeng is already a well-known Internet writer, maybe the writer is not a writer, and everyone doesn't know, but in recent months, Li Ningfeng's manuscript fee has risen by leaps and bounds, and Cao Jing still revealed it to her little sisters intentionally or unintentionally.
Without him, it is a kind of show-off.
Don't you think he's too obscure to be worthy of me?
Now you know my vision, right?
Cao Jing cleaned up the house yesterday, some of the furniture in it was left by the landlord, but more of it was newly bought by her, as well as electrical appliances, especially the computer used by Li Ningfeng, he has a computer dedicated to coding words, even the keyboard is dedicated, and a computer to play games when relaxing, Cao Jing also has her own laptop, although it is second-hand.
Happiness depends on who she compares with, if Cao Jing compares herself with Mulberry, her little happiness will be too humble, she knows that Li He gave Mulberry a so-called "last opening gift" a few days ago to commemorate the last semester of their student days. It was an off-road vehicle, and she didn't know how much it was worth, but she hadn't seen it in the provincial capital. But she won't compare with Mulberry, and she won't compare Li Ningfeng with Li He, she is very strong, but she knows what it means to be unrealistic. She wants to compare, just like her classmates, the same in love, the same face of graduation, but the future is still uncertain than her, more confused than those little sisters.
Is this self-deception?
Cao Jing thinks not.
Li Ningfeng saw Cao Jing going out in the morning, he said that he went with Cao Jing, but Cao Jing didn't let him, Cao Jing asked him to write with peace of mind, and he didn't have to worry about anything, which is usually the case. On the one hand, Cao Jing is very strong, but on the other hand, she also has a traditional virtue.
When Cao Jing came back, Li Ningfeng saw Cao Jing carrying a lot of things in large and small packages, in addition to the ingredients to be used this afternoon, he also saw Cao Jing buy two large packs of white vinegar and a few large bags of Banlan root powder.
"Why are you buying this?" Li Ningfeng picked up Banlangen and looked at it, and asked puzzledly, "You have a cold?"
"Don't you even watch the news?" Cao Jing said while packing up her things: "Now there are rumors on the Internet, there is a new infectious disease, it seems to be called atypical pneumonia, it is said that it has spread throughout the country, and some people say that the railway stations and airports are now on full alert, and once someone is found to have a fever and fever, they must be isolated immediately." ”
Li Ningfeng said disapprenously: "Alarmist. ”
Cao Jing said: "Who knows, it is said that people will die, Guangdong is the most violent, and Hong Kong is also, the capital also has it, there are everywhere, it is said that many people have died, but the news was blocked by the order from above, and I don't know if it is true or not." Anyway, it makes people panic, and some people even say that the school will be closed soon. ”
"Exaggerated. Li Ningfeng was even more disapproving, shook his head and asked, "And what does this have to do with these things you bought?"
Cao Jing said: "White vinegar will be used to smoke the house for a while, and banlan root is used for prevention. ”
"Who said that?"
"Everyone says that, you don't know, now all pharmacies and supermarkets, these two things are going to be sold out. It's better to believe it than not, just right, I'll make you a pack of banlangen. ”
"I don't want to drink it, take some medicine. ”
"Chinese patent medicine, there are no side effects, although you can't drink it as a drink, you can also prevent colds. ”
"Hey, Jiayuan Pharmaceutical? Haha, this is produced by Li He's pharmaceutical factory. Did this black-hearted businessman take the opportunity to raise the price?"
"That's how you look at your good brother? I've compared, among the various brands of banlangen in the pharmacy, the cheapest one is produced by Jiayuan Pharmaceutical. And the owner of the pharmacy said that the supply was sufficient, so everyone did not need to rush to buy. Well, I'll make you a packet. You can also be regarded as supporting Li He's work. ”
"I'm going, where is this, I'm supporting his work by drinking a pack of banlangen?"
In the afternoon, several of Cao Jing's classmates came over, one of them brought a boyfriend, and the others were single. Everyone expressed full envy for Cao Jing's current state, half of which was a compliment for visiting the door, and most of it was true. This will be close to graduation, and their topics are nothing more than two, one is work, and the other is love.
Regarding love, what they talk about the most is to break up, who breaks up with whom, who and who may also break up, and then talk about themselves, they can't help but be sad. And now there is an even more frightening topic, that is, SARS, which has been quarreled and exploded, and there are also people who know who are said to be critically ill.
The graduation season, which had an uncertain future and unpredictable love, now has an unpredictable color.
But as I said, the school was really closed.
