Seeing that the person who came to him was Lan Qing, and she was still holding a stack of manuscript paper in her hand, Chi Fei had already guessed what was going on.

"Freshly written?" After the two sides sat down, Chi Fei asked straight to the point.

"I've only written half of it, and I'm not sure about it, so I'd like to ask you to take a look at it, sir. Sorry sir, it took so long to write such a little. Lan Qing said guiltily.

"It's no wonder you've been busy practicing medicine in recent years."

"But sir, you are usually very busy, both in the newspaper and in writing, but you have never stopped serializing. I'm writing too slowly compared to you. ”

Lan Qing really felt very embarrassed.

As she practiced medicine for a long time, Lan Qing's reputation gradually grew.

Because she has good medical skills and is a woman herself, in this era of male and female defense, female patients will be more likely to accept a female doctor to treat her.

Especially in some more private and embarrassing gynecological diseases, female doctors have a natural advantage.

With the continuous accumulation of word of mouth and word of mouth, more and more female patients have begun to ask her to go to the outpatient clinic by name.

Therefore, in the past year, Lan Qing has become more and more busy, treating people outside almost all day during the day, and only at night has time to report back to the dormitory of the club to write.

She is not like Chi Fei, who has experienced the hellish baptism of thousands or even tens of thousands of words per day on modern online texts, and can only write a few hundred or a thousand words a night. Sometimes when I am not in a good state, I can't even write a word for a few days.

After Chi Fei learned about her situation, he began to teach her his experience. Ask her not to rush to write the main text first, but to write the outline of the story first, and the more detailed the outline, the better, so that there will be fewer situations in Carvin.

Lan Qing gave it a try, and found that writing like this was really much smoother, and she was even more grateful to Chi Fei.

Chi Fei comforted, "You are a part-time author, you don't need to force speed, it is enough to guarantee that one book a year will be published."

Instead of pursuing quantity, it is better to pursue quality. As long as each of your books is a boutique, your fame will naturally grow. ”

"But I don't know if it's a good way to write like this, and whether readers will like it. I feel very uncertain. ”

"I have a very idealistic answer to this question, which may be useful to you."

"Sir, please." Lan Qing looked at him eagerly.

"Whether a book is well written or not depends not on the reader's opinion, but on your personal judgment as the author.

To put it simply, although you are the author, you are also the first reader of the book.

You can look at the book from a reader's point of view, whether it's good-looking and interesting.

If you think it's good, then this book is good.

If you can't read the book yourself, how can you expect other readers to find it good? Others are not stupid.

Maybe as a result, this new book that you think is good doesn't end up being liked by too many people, and many people even find it not interesting at all.

But it doesn't matter, because you've done your best to write what you want to write, and that's enough.

We can't decide whether the market is good or bad, the only thing we can do is do our best.

The so-called doing one's best and obeying the destiny of heaven is probably this truth. ”

After hearing this, Lan Qing gave him a big salute quite excitedly, "Thank you for your teachings, I understand." I want to take this draft back and revise it again, and I'll show it to you next time. ”

Chi Fei, who was about to read the manuscript, couldn't help but be a little speechless, but seeing her like this, she should have some understanding, so she had to say, "Okay, wait until you change it, and then take it."

But you write a manuscript, don't get tired, stop in moderation. You are a doctor, you should know that staying up late is very hurtful. ”

"I see, sir, I'll pay attention to it later." Lan Qing felt both heartwarming and warm, and felt like she was being cared for by her brother.

She had always wondered that Mr. Chi Fei was about the same age as her, but he was not at all as mature as a person of his age, and he really didn't know what he had experienced before.

After Lan Qing left the newspaper office, Chi Fei sat in the living room thinking about things intently.

If they really want to evacuate the capital, I hope Lan Qing is willing to follow them.

However, this woman is a little stubborn, and she may stay because of her status as a doctor, which can only depend on her personal wishes, and she can't be forced.

………………………………

Although there are occasional news of the border Hu people circulating in the capital, on the whole, the common people are still living a stable and peaceful life as usual.

While Chi Fei went to work as usual and accompanied his little wife, he was secretly making various preparations for evacuation.

First, he bought a dozen wagons from the carriage and horse dealers, all of which were stacked in the farms in the suburbs. There are also more than 30 horses that are responsible for pulling carts.

This farm is located on a hill in the suburbs, which is not only full of various fruit trees, but also raises all kinds of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock.

At the foot of the mountain, more than 1,000 acres of high-grade paddy fields have been circled near the foot of the mountain. This is all part of the field in Ah Zhi's dowry.

Zhi's sister, Ning Yashan, also has a similar farm, but further away.

As long as there is a field near the capital that can grow things, it has basically been bought up by various families. It's a scarce item that money can't buy.

It is only an old family like Zhenguofu, which has been standing for many years, that has hoarded a large amount of land in its hands, and it is constantly buying new fields from the declining family as a supplement.

Ah Zhi's more than 1,000 acres of high-quality paddy fields, if they are sold, they can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and a lot of people are rushing to ask for it.

Since marrying Ah Zhi, Chi Fei has never bought rice, vegetables, fruits and meat.

Every morning, the head of the farm picks the best seasonal vegetables, fruits, and livestock and sends them to his home, and as many as he wants. Anyway, the parts they can't eat have to be sold to the vendors.

Therefore, in addition to the family's food, Chi Fei also supplied it to the newspaper, so that Zhang Xiao'e and they directly saved the trouble of going out to buy vegetables every day.

Chi Fei once hugged his little wife and joked that in the future, their family would rely on Ah Zhi to support them.

At that time, Ah Zhi looked up very proudly, and almost didn't snort.

That arrogant and cute appearance made Chi Fei couldn't help kissing and gnawing on her, and kissed her so much that she was almost out of breath.

Every year, in addition to the part of the grain produced in the field, except for the part that is given to the tenant farmers, the head of the village will dry and store one-third of the current year's harvest in the rice warehouse, and then sell the remaining two-thirds of the grain to the rice shop together with the old rice of the previous year to exchange it for silver and hand it over to the government.

Since the population of the family and the farm is small, this one-third of the grain stored is enough for everyone to eat for two years, so it is useless to save too much.

Chi Fei felt that the world might not be very stable in recent years, so he asked Ah Zhi to build a few more rice warehouses in Zhuangzi, and every year in the future, he would collect all the harvest of the year and keep it as storage grain, and only sell the old grain for one year.

Ah Zhi listened to him the most, and immediately ordered the people below to do so.

In order not to arouse Ah Zhi's worries, Chi Fei did not pack up other things.

Because it's not right now, as long as the most important wagon is ready, it's not too late to pack up the rest of the things when it's time to actually evacuate.

With the passage of time, paper will not be able to contain fire after all.

News of the plague in the north began to circulate in the capital.

The news began to spread from some merchants who traveled from south to north, and then gradually spread.

Compared with the news of the Hu invasion of the border, the rumors about the plague have attracted more attention.

Although many locals in the capital have not experienced the plague, since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there have been several relatively large plagues in various places in the past two hundred years, and tens of thousands of people have died on average each time, so many people are talking about the plague.

At this moment, a series of measures were suddenly promulgated, which was very surprising.

The first was the issuance of a curfew, i.e., a ban on nighttime activities. Violators of the curfew are subject to detention at least and justice on the spot.

Curfews have existed since ancient times, but most of them are only implemented during times of war and disaster.

A few years ago, the Hu people took advantage of the great drought in the north to invade on a large scale, and now in order to avoid spies and rebellion, they issued a curfew at that time. Later, after the Hu people were driven away, the curfew was quickly lifted.

Now that the curfew has been reissued, this has to make people think about it.

The second is to increase the guards of the city gates, and anyone entering and leaving the capital must be carefully checked.

No one who does not have three types of identification, namely yellow, white, and luyin, is not allowed to enter the city.

What's even more strange is that anyone who comes from other places, even if they have a guide on them, must be locked up in a post station for two days before they can be allowed to enter the city.

The third is to strictly control prices, and strictly prohibit businessmen from hoarding goods, otherwise they will be punished.

Fourth, it is forbidden for locals to leave the city at will unless they have a certificate from the government.

This series of measures is like entering a period of war readiness, and the people's hearts begin to fluctuate, thinking that something big may have happened.

Chi Fei felt that there was only one explanation for this situation, that is, the epidemic in the north was more serious, otherwise the government would not be so nervous.

He immediately told Ah Zhi to send for the head of the village outside the city to bring over the dozen or so wagons that were placed in the farm, and to load each cart with as much grain as possible, as well as easily stored fruits and bacon.

He was afraid that if the situation became more serious, the government might lock down the city and prevent other carriages from entering, so it was better to prepare in advance to store food at home.

Not only did he think so, but other families also began to stock up on grain one after another, and there were obviously more grain trucks entering the capital in the past few days.

After more than a dozen horse-drawn carts loaded with grain and sparse fruit and bacon arrived, Chi Fei stored the grain transported from Zhuangzi in his family's cellar.

He calculated that this batch of food should be enough for the people in the family and everyone in the newspaper office to eat for more than a year.

Having this amount of grain should be enough, and he doesn't plan to ask Zhuangzi for it again. Because there were still many tenant farmers and stewards on the farm side to eat, it might cause panic if they went any further.

The so-called food in the hand, the heart is not panicked. After making preparations for storing grain, Chi Fei was much more determined.

One afternoon, when Chi Fei was working at the newspaper office as usual, suddenly the Zhenguo Mansion sent someone to pick him up at the newspaper office, saying that the Zhenguo Gong had an urgent matter to find him.

Although Chi Fei didn't know what was going on, since his father-in-law was in such a hurry, it would not be a trivial matter, so he immediately got into the carriage and rushed to the Guogong Mansion.

When he came to the Guogong Mansion and walked into the study, he soon saw that in addition to his father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan, there was also a man in the study wearing a military uniform, with a strong figure and a weathered face.

As soon as the man saw him, he suddenly ran over and saluted excitedly, "Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I finally see you again." ”

Chi Fei Dingqing took a look, and then recognized that the other party was Lu Jing, the school doctor of the Northwest Battalion who had come to him two years ago.

Seeing that it was him, Chi Fei suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and he hurriedly looked at his father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan.

Sure enough, his father-in-law, Ning Zhiyuan, was gritting his teeth and glaring at him, "Okay, it turns out that you are the so-called master." You stinky boy dare to lie to me, it's not a small daring. ”

At this moment, Chi Fei finally knew what it was like to lose his vest.
