I stayed in the hotel arranged by the publishing house, stood on a high-rise building, and watched the busy streets of Guangzhou. The mother and daughter admired the new style brought to the motherland by reform and opening up.

"Mom, when will the city we live in become so prosperous?" said Yuanyuan with longing in her heart.

"Daughter, in the future all the cities of our country will be as good as here. Our country has become a powerful motherland, all walks of life are developing rapidly, and the strong people who live in the world. People's living standards have generally improved, large supermarkets can be seen everywhere, and dozens of floors of buildings decorate every city. The Internet covers every place and connects us to the world. At that time, time-traveling novels had long been a topic that had been written badly. There are also fantasy, rebirth, dimension... Works of various categories. Many have been adapted into TV series or movies. The text is three-dimensional, and people's thoughts also travel through time and space, imagining boundless stories. Liu Hong's thoughts were pulled back to her previous life, that is, decades later at this time, painting a picture scroll that was less than one thousandth of a thousandth of what she was at that time, expressing her feelings from her past life and present life.

"Mom, can you really imagine that at that time, Mom was also the first person to write a time-traveling novel. Yuanyuan was infected and said that she couldn't imagine that her mother came back from that happy and prosperous era. Liu Hong also came out of her memories, and her thoughts returned to the present.

"Yuanyuan, give your dad a call, he must be at work at this time. The day after tomorrow, we will be able to go and meet with the editors of the publishing house, and in these two days we can first browse the window of the motherland and look at the world. Liu Hong changed the topic and said, she really missed her husband in her heart. The face is also slightly red, shy like a little girl who has just fallen in love.

"Okay, Mom, I'll turn on the speakerphone, and we'll talk to Dad together. Yuanyuan said excitedly and slyly, and pressed a few numbers on the phone in the hotel room.

"I'm Mr. Cheng's assistant, and he's not here now. You can make an appointment in advance, or I will pass it on. A woman on the other side of the phone said in a formulaic tone. Yuanyuan glanced at her mother, looking disappointed.

"Miss, we are Cheng Qing's relatives, when can Cheng Qing come back?" asked Liu Hong politely.

"I can't say this well, may I ask what kind of relative you are of Mr. Cheng?"

"You're checking your household registration! What relatives have to do with you? You just say what he's going to do and when he'll be back. Yuanyuan said in a bad tone. There was chatter on the other side of the phone for a while, and the female assistant said a lot more politely.

Mr. Cheng accompanied his girlfriend to see a doctor, and he had a very important meeting in the afternoon. I can only have time in the evening, and if you can leave your name, I will ask Mr. Cheng to arrange the time. ”

"No need, you Cheng Zong still live in the same place, right?" Liu Hong took over and said indifferently.

"It's not a dormitory, they bought a house. ”

"Can you tell us the exact address, we'll go over and see them. Yuanyuan also asked a little calmly.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient to tell you this. The female assistant said in an embarrassed tone. On the other side of the phone came another woman's voice, not very clear but intelligible.

"We Cheng will never wronged your girl. ”

"Who are you?" asked Yuanyuan loudly. casually said that there are quite a lot of bean sprouts in the urine. Then he sat down on the sofa to the side and stopped talking.

Liu Hong gently put down the phone, saying that she had the urge to smash the phone. The beautiful reverie just now was poured with a basin of cold water on the head, and there was nothing left. Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, was already crying.

"Mom, don't you say that Dad is not a bully, why doesn't he know to repent. Because she injured Xiao Qing, this time she became a woman again, and she also bought a house here. Is this to abandon us?"

"Yuanyuan, what are you doing? He's such a person, a dog can't change eating. It's not worth shedding tears for him, you have a mother, and it's enough for your mother to have you. ”

"Yes, we still have our own pursuits. Mom, we will ask him for money in the future, until he goes bankrupt, and see that he still has money to raise women outside. ”

"Silly girl, if only it were that simple. Don't cry, we're here to get down to business. Let's go out and explore Guangzhou by ourselves. ”

"Okay, let's go out and buy a lot of things for my uncle and my grandparents. We spend a lot of money. ”

"Yuanyuan, do you want to bankrupt your mother's flower. Liu Hong teased with a wry smile.

"Then buy something cheap, buy something and ask Dad for money, you can't be cheap for others. Yuanyuan still said angrily.

"Okay, don't disturb our good mood. Let's go, first go and help my mother get a pair of myopia glasses. ”

In the past two days, Liu Hong and Yuanyuan have walked around the hotel they are staying in. No one mentions Cheng Qing, as if he never knew him. Tomorrow I have to go to the post-publication to discuss things, and the mother and daughter are back early.

"Mom, you have a good temperament with your glasses, like a great writer. Yuanyuan looked at her mother and praised as she walked.

"Go, what kind of temperament, many works in later generations praise women with mediocre appearances before they use temperament. Temperament is synonymous with ugliness for a woman. Liu Hong joked.

"Mom, you are a crooked, and you haven't read the works of later generations. My mother was originally a beautiful woman with connotation. ”

"Mom is old, in literary works, she is a yellow-faced woman, and she is the one who has been taken off the shelves. Liu Hong laughed at herself.

"Mom, that's a man who doesn't have vision. Mom, let's not talk about that. Yuanyuan grabbed her mother's arm, walked into the hotel together, and went to the front desk to get the key.

"Oh, 405 guest, there are several calls to you today, and the other party says it is Mr. Cheng. The front desk lady said with a smile.

"yes, the next time he calls again and says we've checked out. Liu Hong didn't think about it and instructed the lady at the front desk.

"Okay, that Mr. Cheng also asked about your identity, and we only said that you were a guest arranged by the publishing house. ”

"Thank you, I'll say that later. Yuanyuan looked at the front desk lady with satisfaction.

This news ruined the good mood of the mother and daughter. returned to the room, Liu Hong and Yuanyuan didn't speak, watching the romance drama on TV, and listening to the Hong Kong and Taiwan accents that they didn't understand. In the end, Liu Hong said to her daughter: "Yuanyuan, we will go to the publishing house tomorrow." After the matter is over, Mom wants to figure out your dad's affairs, and we can't passively wait for your dad to have a showdown with us. After so many years, the women around your dad have changed one after another, and Mom is not as flustered as this time. ”

"Yes, this time I'm worried about my dad and you mentioning the divorce, after all, dad rarely takes the initiative to call home for so long, mom, will we lose dad?" Yuanyuan said worriedly.

"Yuanyuan, don't worry, my mother won't give him this chance. He can not care about this family, but his mother will never let this family break up. ”

"Mom, I didn't understand anything before, but now that I'm older, I know that I wronged my mother. Mom, if you can't hold on, you won't hold on, I'll live with my mother. ”

"Yuanyuan..."

"Mom..." the mother and daughter snuggled up to each other and were relatively speechless.

"Writer Liu, your novel did not choose our publishing house, which is something we expected. But we still have the opportunity to work together, and we want to work with the film and television center to bring your novel to the screen and make it into a TV series. Can you give us this opportunity?" Liu Hong and Yuanyuan chatted with a few editors in the small conference room of the publishing house.

"Filming a TV series?" Liu Hong was stunned, this is a great thing, but it is too much beyond Liu Hong's imagination. She didn't know what to say for a while.

"Yes, we are still in talks with the film and television center, and I want to call you over now, because I don't want to miss this opportunity. We've decided that once we've negotiated with the film and television center, you can't sell the original novel to someone else. ”

"I can't give you a definite answer to this matter yet, but I'll consider you first. Liu Hong said thoughtfully.

"Okay. Ms. Liu Hong, I didn't expect you to be such a young writer, how did you come up with all those inspirations?"

"What else can you think, dream, dream and write. Liu Hong joked, but the atmosphere in the small conference room relaxed.

"Writer Liu, this theme is very novel, I'm afraid it will lead a trend, will your subsequent works still follow this idea? ”

"Of course, the scope of traversal is vast, and there is enough room for imagination to play. Liu Hong said with a light smile.

"That still requires a certain amount of historical knowledge, a foundation for writing, and a literary background. Writer Liu, I really admire you. A young sister-in-law said adoringly.

"Thanks for the compliment, it's good to treat my sister as a legend. Liu Hong said with a smile.

"Sister Liu Hong, then I will call you that in the future. The little girl also smiled.

Everyone talked for a while, the publishing house wanted to seize the opportunity, and Liu Hong also wanted to have a good relationship with the publishing house. They all achieved their goals and talked happily with each other. When Liu Hong and Yuanyuan left the publishing house, it was almost noon.

"Mom, why don't you agree to them for a treat, isn't this more closer?"

"Is the rice so delicious, it's just the acquaintance stage, and it's not that level yet. When we really cooperate in the future, there are many opportunities like this. We're done here, so let's move to another place for a few days. ”

"Let's figure out Daddy's business. ”

"Yes, Mom doesn't like to drag mud and water, she has to be clear about it. Like it or not, it's good for mom to follow dad with you. Liu Hong looked at her daughter and said.

"Okay, Dad found out and said we were waiting for him to get off work or meet him by chance. Yuanyuan said very happily. Liu Hong's heart is heavy, if it is inevitable to quarrel face-to-face with Cheng Qing, Liu Hong doesn't want to solve the problem so roughly. I don't want to listen to Cheng Qing's lies and shirking. Then fundamentally speaking, after lunch and shopping for a while, when it was about to get off work, Liu Hong and Yuanyuan came to the opposite side of Cheng Qing's company, found a teahouse and sat down by the window, ordered a pot of tea and snacks melon seeds, and waited for Cheng Qing to get off work.

Cheng Qing's company is at the top of the office building, and after a while, many people have walked out of the revolving door one after another and gathered into the flow of people. Wearing myopia glasses, Liu Hong's eyesight recovered, she leisurely ate dim sum melon seeds, and tasted tea, but her mood was difficult to calm down.
