Chapter 272: The helplessness of the street writer
The night is cold.
Yunshui had gone to bed early, only to wake up again in the middle of the night, and when he woke up, the candle outside was still flickering.
"Young Master Cheng Nan?" Yun Shui tried to call out to Cheng Nan.
At this time, Cheng Nan was still recording, and when he heard Yunshui's call, he finally stopped his pen and looked at Yunshui again.
"Oh, little master. Cheng Nan greeted Yunshui.
"Cheng Nan's son is so late, do you still want to continue writing books here?" Yun Shui asked Cheng Nan.
At this time, Cheng Nan's desk was already full of manuscripts, but he seemed to be very dissatisfied with those manuscripts, because on those manuscripts, there were traces of his continuous corrections.
It made the little master laugh, because of the limited writing, he couldn't think of any good words, so he could only keep vomiting to himself. Thinking that maybe if I stayed up for a while, this text would be able to flow more smoothly. Cheng Nan explained.
"Well, then Cheng Nan Gongzi will come on, Yunshui just wants to go to the toilet at night. Yun Shui replied to Cheng Nan like this.
"Oh, the toilet is in the back, the little master should be able to find it, right?" Cheng Nan pointed out the direction of the toilet for Yunshui, and after getting Yunshui's nod, he continued to change the article.
Writing, it seems, is a very painful thing.
After Yunshui finished the toilet, he couldn't help but sigh again when he saw Cheng Nan's irritability that he was still changing the text.
Continue to sleep until you wake up the next day.
Yun Shui still started his morning class very early, but it was accompanied by a knock on the door and the sound of Cheng Nan's quick answer. Yunshui found out that Cheng Nan was going to wake up earlier than himself.
"Well, here we are. Cheng Nan's voice replied, and then the door was opened.
"Aunt Zhang, good morning. Cheng Nan greeted each other warmly, and then a woman's voice came from outside the house.
"You kid, what's so good? Where did you learn all this nonsense? I came today to tell you that the old Huang family in the east of the village recruits workers, and the salary for a day is ten yuan, and many young men in the village have broken their heads, but they just didn't get this quota. Because the old Huang family has a good relationship with me, they want me to nominate someone, and I immediately thought of you. I can tell you, you are not too young, it's time to get married, the daughter of the old Huang family is very smart, I will recommend you to go, you can take this opportunity to chat with the daughter of the old Huang family, and solve your lifelong affairs. The woman kept talking, but before she finished speaking, she was already interrupted by Cheng Nan.
"Oops, Aunt Zhang. I know you're doing it for my own good, but I have more important things to do, so I can't go to their house and apply. I don't think Aunt Zhang should talk about these things anymore, Aunt Zhang, are you thirsty or not, or I'll pour you a glass of water. Cheng Nan replied like this, and he could hear that he was very impatient with this kind of marriage urging. I love Chinese.com
But the woman in front of him clearly had no intention of ending the subject.
"What's important? You're staying at home all day, what can be important? Look at your age, it's already past the time to talk about marriage. If you continue to delay like this, which girl will be able to look at you? Do you really want to live with what you wrote in the future? Or do you want to learn from your Buddha and travel all over the world ever since? But the Buddha has great magic power, so people can travel all over the world, and then see what skills you have that can make you live safely? I can tell you, that is to write that thousands of troops across the single-plank bridge, in the end few people can reach the other side, most of them have to fall into the river and drown, you should not work this, then it is better to marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, and give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible, you can also let me and your children play with each other, so that they will not worry about you every day. The woman kept talking, and there was great anger in her words.
Cheng Nan can also understand this, because he has reached his age, but he still has achieved nothing. But even if he achieves nothing, as long as he is willing to work hard to make money, he will not have a good life, but he has to stick to his dreams and want to live according to his ideas.
And his dream is such an ethereal thing.
"Aunt Zhang, you are angry, aren't I also thinking about other girls. You see, just like me, you still need Aunt Zhang to come forward to find a job, after that girl follows me, how can I be able to give happiness to others? Even if she is the daughter of the old Huang family, she doesn't need me to make money, but can you bear to watch it all the time, I will eat other people's soft rice from now on?"
"Aunt Zhang, I don't have any other skills, and I can't do that kind of heavy physical work, so I can only write articles, and there is only one way out. Then I also know that the daughter of the old Huang family is very good, but I am obviously not worthy of others, how do you want me to be with her? So Aunt Zhang, you can rest assured, I have a sense of proportion, even if I don't marry for life from now on, I can still support you all the time. ”
Cheng Nan kept coaxing the woman like this, and finally persuaded the woman to leave, he began to return to the bookcase and continued to change the article.
I can't say that he doesn't work hard, but his efforts don't seem to have any effect at all.
"Cheng Nan Gongzi, do you really want to give up Miss Huang because of what you wrote? It can be seen that Miss Huang seems to like you very much, otherwise, this opportunity would not have been left to you. Yun Shui persuaded Cheng Nan.
But Cheng Nan just sighed.
"Miss Huang's affection, I can naturally understand, in fact, the identity of a writer, this is also a very good tool to coax girls. But only I know that I can't give them happiness, so why should I provoke them? In fact, no one reads my books at all, and the so-called making money by writing is just my self-deception. ”
Aunt Zhang previously described this kind of writing as a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, but it was not perfect enough. Because the real situation of this kind of writing is a kind of tightrope walking, no one will be able to reach the end, because this is a troubled time, so this kind of intellectual thing, it will not have any value. ”
"But I don't want to give up this dream, because once I give up on this, then in this troubled world, I will really only have a dry bone left, and I won't be able to leave any thing. So no matter what this book is, I have to insist on completing it, because this is my ideal world, so I want to watch its story grow until the final end, and I am willing to give everything for this. ”
Cheng Nan kept talking, and then there was some loss, and along with the people who were also lost, there was Yunshui at this time.
"Is it worth it to give everything, but also to Miss Huang's feelings, just for an ethereal world?" Yun Shui asked again.
But Cheng Nan no longer spoke any words.
"Otherwise, let's go to Miss Huang's house first, anyway, Zhang Nangongzi, you don't have inspiration now, and it won't help to sit here all the time. In this case, it is better to go for a distraction first, maybe after you distract, this kind of inspiration will appear directly, and then your thoughts will be unimpeded. Yun Shui kept persuading, and finally made Zhang Nan put down the pen again and began to agree to Yun Shui to go to Miss Huang's house.
"Sun Monkey, we are on our way. Yun Shui also excitedly woke up Sun Monkey.
