Chapter 40: I'd rather be a scoundrel
The arrival of New Year's Day means that the last page of the calendar of ninety-six years has been revealed, Su Yang sat on the stone bridge that has been more than ten years old and looked at the starry sky, all the less than half a year has passed, the difference between himself and his previous life in the trajectory of the journey, will no longer hear the rebuke at the dinner table, nor will he see the failing exam papers, some are just the recognition and relief of relatives, and the envy of peers.
Su Yang can't remember how many years he hasn't seen such a clear sky, the starry spots have gradually disappeared in the era of gradual development and popularization of industry, and the Big Dipper that his friends saw with their fingers held high is nowhere to be seen, and now the starlight is still as beautiful as he remembers, but people who look at this scenery will no longer be stupid to count how many there are.
There were no bright lights, the noisy night market, and the sound of insects chirping among the trees by the river lingered in his ears, Su Yang raised his head, his heart was extraordinarily calm, until he heard the footsteps and looked towards the bridge, and then he was slightly stunned, and said, "It's so late, why didn't you stay at home?" ”
"Aren't you the same? What does a person do sitting on a bridge? "People walked up to the bridge, and the breeze was tinged with a faint fragrance.
Su Yang pointed to the sky, "Look at the stars!" ”
"Looking at the stars?"
Hearing this, the visitor looked up and said, "It's beautiful!" ”
"Yes, the eternal starry sky is so beautiful, I remember that I used to wonder if there would be someone looking up at the starry sky on one of the stars!" Su Yang said with a chuckle.
The person who came to the side, the faint fragrance that secreted the spleen was even stronger, Su Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then despised himself in his heart, and said, "Tang Yue, you won't come to see the stars like me, right?" ”
Tang Yue didn't notice Su Yang's actions, he shook his head, and the corners of his ruddy mouth could be seen rising slightly in the moonlight, and he said: "I'm tired of reading, so I came to walk outside, but I didn't expect that someone would look up at the stars like a child in a daze!" ”
"I think it's easier to be in a daze when looking at you than at the stars." Su Yang's eyes looked at Tang Yue without blinking, and a sentence came out without thinking.
The night breeze caressed the stream, causing layers of ripples, and the people on the bridge looked at Su Yang with a pair of bright eyes, and said softly: "You are really a scoundrel!" ”
"Compared to the sages who don't eat the wind and the moon, I would rather be a scoundrel, at least I can look at the people I like and do what I want to do!" Su Yang blinked, taking this opportunity to take a few more looks, in case he turned around and left in the next second.
Tang Yueqiao's face was slightly red, but she was not angry, and she didn't walk away as Su Yang thought, and said: "It's almost the end of the semester, it's better to review more homework thinking about these, it's not just three main courses, your grades in the other four subjects may not be very good!" ”
"Proper relaxation is more conducive to later review, and the combination of light and moderate work and rest can improve efficiency, but in a specific environment, this efficiency can also be raised to a higher level, or I will take the history textbook now, Tang Yue, you will give me a spot check, and then we will change it, how about it?" Su Yang had to inch in.
"Have you ever seen someone reading in the moonlight? This is not in ancient times, I have been out for a while, so I won't bother you to look at the stars! Tang Yue didn't buy it, and after speaking, he turned around and walked off the bridge.
Although the starlight is beautiful, Su Yang can't watch the stars and chant a poem, and it is a little cool to sit for a while, so he got up and got off the bridge, and walked in the opposite direction to Tang Yue, this New Year's Day was spent in peace, and then he had to continue to devote himself to the new year, and this year, Su Yang was full of expectations.
……
Three days off on New Year's Day, Su Yang completed the second volume of Xiantu and sent it to the publishing house, and the editors of the publishing house grasped the progress to review and typeset the second volume, and the illustrator drew the cover illustration according to the manuscript given by Su Yang, and decided to come down after Su Yang read it and expressed satisfaction, so a week later, the second volume of Xiantu was released in the expectation of many readers, this time the publishing house directly issued 10,000 copies, which were sent to bookstores of all sizes, and during this period, the first volume of Xiantu was still being printed. The 10,000 copies printed before have all been distributed, and with the release of the second volume, the demand for the first volume of Xiantu is greater than before, on the one hand, Xiantu is gradually being paid attention to by more people, on the other hand, the scope of distribution is gradually increasing, although there is still a distance throughout the country, but with the current momentum, it is not a distant thing.
Su Yang himself doesn't have much energy to pay attention to the sales of Xiantu, these can basically be solved by the publishing house, and at present, he wants to temporarily slow down the progress of the third volume of Xiantu, because it is approaching the end of the period, he still needs some energy to review his homework, and if he doesn't study for a long time, even if he is a genius, he doesn't dare to say that it has no effect, not to mention that Su Yang doesn't think he is a genius, at most he is a person who is not stupid with a cheat!
The editor of the Economic Times urged Su Yang to continue to submit, because he hadn't submitted a manuscript for a while, but Su Yang didn't have the heart to continue to submit now, so he coped with the past on the phone, and now on the one hand, he has to review his homework, and on the other hand, he has to continue to create Xiantu, how can he have any energy to continue to contribute, not to mention that he will continue to squeeze brain cells, and the remuneration he gets cannot be compared with Xiantu at all, although Su Yang has not yet received the remuneration of the publishing house, but that is only a matter of time!
And during this period of time, Su Yongguang also made a move, after discussing with his brothers and sisters, he decided to buy a house in Yongcheng, and the specific location has also been determined, Taoyuan Community, Su Yang was a little surprised when he knew, because this is completely different from his previous life, but Su Yongguang was able to decide to buy a house, and it was a year earlier than his previous life, which still made Su Yang a little happy, housing prices will continue to rise for many years in the future, and you can spend a lot less money if you buy a year earlier, At present, it only costs 100,000 yuan to buy a 110-square-meter three-bedroom suite in Taoyuan Community, and the price will rise to more than 300,000 in a few years, until more than 1 million.
Su Yongguang is the character to do when he thinks of it, he is not willing to wait for a moment, and after making a decision, he runs back and forth between Yongcheng and Yanxiang, and Su Yang also went to see it once and gave some advice, the house is not decorated for the time being, or Su Yongguang does some simple decoration, and when Su Yang graduates and goes to Yongcheng, he will decorate and move over!
During these times, Su Yongguang had some contradictions with that woman, and Su Yang was not surprised by this, this contradiction would get bigger and bigger, until the quarrel began later, resulting in divorce. Considering some influences, Su Yang talked to Su Yongguang one night, the woman was not at home at the time, and the topic of conversation was about the contradiction between Su Yongguang and the woman, Su Yang knew that this was inevitable, but he still had to remind Su Yongguang to make him suffer as little as possible.
Su Yang is not a saint, and he doesn't care if that woman suffers, in her previous life, secretly sending the money she earned to her son in her hometown has made Su Yang extremely unhappy with her, although she can understand it from a mother's point of view, but Su Yang knows that her son is over twenty-three years old and has participated in the work, and she follows Su Yongguang, but she has been thinking about her son over there, and the food and clothing have been Su Yongguang's money from beginning to end, no matter who else she is, she can't bear it.
Su Yongguang can now listen to Su Yang's advice, because everyone in the family appreciates Su Yang today, even the uncle who has always been wrong. So when Su Yang talked about asking Su Yongguang to pay attention to precautions, Su Yongguang did not reprimand his son like in his previous life.
Su Yang knew that his father was not a good man in some aspects, and even a little unreliable, but looking back on many years later, Su Yongguang did not have a decent woman by his side, which made Su Yang not very comfortable, even Su Yang's mother Huang Jing, she was also a person with a relatively big temper, and she was the most popular in front of Su Yongguang.
If relying on personal charm is not enough to attract excellent women to his father, then it is not a good choice to be able to appropriately change the external conditions, just like a sentence recognized by the vast majority of people many years later, as long as you have money, everything is easy to do, there is indeed nothing wrong, as long as you have money, even if the woman who appeared next to Su Yongguang is not very good, but it is not like now, not to mention that if a person has money, his vision will be broadened, and it is impossible to always be at the original level.
A few days before the final exams, the learning atmosphere has reached the most intense period, the usual classes have become the review of various materials and the testing and explanation of test papers, even in the third class, the physical education class will inevitably be replaced by the teachers of several main courses, and only occasionally can you go out of the classroom to relax on the playground.
There are many test papers stacked on the desks of other students, but Su Yang's desk is empty, this is not that Su Yang does not do special test papers and does not review, it is completely that the test papers he has done will always be used by the classmates to compare and copy, the most unscrupulous is Wang Wenbin, this guy took it and copied it as it was after Su Yang just finished a test paper, and then took out the second book of Xiantu in the desk and looked at it with relish, Su Yang was quite helpless about this, and even felt that he was indirectly making Wang Wenbin even more wasteful study?
The novel that Wang Wenbin read aroused the curiosity of several boys in the same class, and the first book of Xiantu was in the hands of another boy, and it was very unfortunate that the boy was caught reading in the English class of the head teacher Ye Lan, and then the first book of Xiantu that Wang Wenbin begged for from Su Yang went to Ye Lan's hands.
"If you don't listen to the class, you can read a novel in my class? Do you know that the final exam is just a few days away? Ye Lan was very angry, slapped the novel on the podium, and then pointed to Wang Wenbin, who was sitting in the last row, "And you, don't think I didn't see the book in your hand, take it!" ”
"No, I haven't finished reading it yet!" Wang Wenbin pressed the book under his leg and said.
Su Yang covered his forehead with one hand, and sure enough, Ye Lan, who heard this, became even more angry, put down the test paper he was explaining in his hand and walked over, and then took the novel from Wang Wenbin's hand and walked back to the podium, and said: "I read this kind of marginal book all day long, why don't you take the time to look at the textbook?" ”
Wang Wenbin is not a very good talker, and when he heard this, he said: "What's wrong with me reading? You didn't make a noise in class, it didn't affect your classmates, did you get so angry? ”
"Wang Wenbin!!"
Ye Lanliu's eyebrows were raised: "You still have reason to read extracurricular books in class, aren't you?" ”
