After Wu Yisheng went to college, Wu Dao was used to the days when he was not at home. Now that Meng Yihong has left him again, and it is forever, for Wu Dao, the whole world has changed.

At home alone, Wu Dao often fell into boundless sorrow, and often forgot his direction when walking on the road. After Meng Yihong's death, Wu Dao was rear-ended for the first time driving due to lack of concentration, which was the first accident after he bought a car.

Wu Dao didn't dare to drive anymore, for fear that he would hit someone else because of absent-mindedness when driving, he felt that after losing Meng Yihong, he would never be able to drive safely again, so he sold his family's car.

Wu Yisheng hoped that Wu Dao would go to Beijing to live, so that he could take care of his father. Wu Dao didn't want to leave Fangzhou so early, there were too many memories of him and Meng Yihong here. And with the job of a university teacher, he can also distract himself by teaching students, and when he really goes to Beijing, he has nothing to do every day, which will only make his sorrow worse.

As for whether to go to Beijing in the future and live with Wu Yisheng, Wu Dao has not yet considered it. Because Wu Yisheng is very likely to get married in Beijing in the future and live forever.

If Wu Dao lives with his son and daughter-in-law, the three of them will feel inconvenient, and it is unknown what kind of character his future daughter-in-law will be and whether he will be welcomed. Moreover, the housing prices in Beijing are so high, everything must be carefully considered.

Of course, Wu Dao also has a wish, that is, to see Wu Yisheng get married and have children. This wish used to be the common wish of Wu He, Wu Yang and Li Mei, and it once caused great mental pressure on the three elders and Wu Dao himself.

Because he had suffered from urging marriage, Wu Dao did not ask Wu Yisheng for any time, but he knew how important it was for two people in a marriage to have a common language.

Wu Dao said to Wu Yisheng that marriage is a major event in life, and when looking for a girlfriend, you can not pay attention to education, work and appearance, but two people must have common interests and hobbies, and maintain the same outlook on life and values, at least not in opposite directions.

Wu Yisheng didn't find a girlfriend when he went to college. After joining the work, because he was too busy at work and his social circle was relatively narrow, he had no time to fall in love. A year after Meng Yihong's death, someone introduced Wu Yisheng to a girlfriend.

The girl's name is Hu Yifan, one year younger than Wu Yisheng. Hu Yifan graduated from a comprehensive key university in Beijing majoring in literature, and worked as an online literature editor on Zongheng Chinese Network.

Although Wu Yisheng and Hu Yifan did not go to the same university, the two schools were very close to each other, and the work they engaged in was related to the Internet, so the two had a lot of common topics to talk about as soon as they met.

In addition, although Wu Yisheng is a science student, he has read a lot of literary works since he was a child, and he still reads literary works often after going to college, and has a high literary accomplishment, so he and Hu Yifan have more in common.

After meeting for the first time, Wu Yisheng and Hu Yifan both felt that each other was very good. After the conversation, Hu Yifan knew that Wu Yisheng's father was a university literature teacher, and he had a good impression of Wu Yisheng and the Wu family. After a few dates, they quickly settled on a romantic relationship.

The Spring Festival holiday is approaching, Wu Yisheng decided to take Hu Yifan home to meet his father Wu Dao, and told Wu Dao about it in advance. Prior to this, Wu Yisheng had already told Wu Dao about his girlfriend. Wu Dao has a certain understanding of Hu Yifan, and has always hoped to see her as soon as possible.

In order to welcome Hu Yifan's arrival, Wu Dao found a part-time worker to clean up the house, and then went to buy a lot of vegetables and meat.

On the afternoon of the 29th of the lunar month, Wu Yisheng and Hu Yifan took the high-speed train to Fangzhou, and then took a taxi to the teacher's apartment building of Fangzhou University.

At the first sight of Hu Yifan, Wu Dao was stunned, because the girl in front of him was a little similar to Si Baifang when he was young. A thought flashed through Wu Dao's mind: Could Hu Yifan be Si Baifang's daughter?

However, he immediately rejected this idea, because Si Baifang's husband's surname is Xu, and their daughter has the same surname as her mother, even if not her father's surname, and there is absolutely no reason to have the surname Hu.

Wu Yisheng introduced Wu Dao and Hu Yifan to each other, and Hu Yifan gave him the gift he bought for Wu Dao, which was a set of clothes and a box of tea. The clothes fit very well, and the tea is also what Wu Dao likes to drink, and he said to Hu Yifan:

"Xiaohu, thank you for the gift you bought me. Beijing is a big city, and Fangzhou is a small place. Come here, if there is something that you don't fit in, just tell me. ”

"Uncle, Fang Zhou is fine. Although I have never been to Fangzhou before, I have some understanding. Fangzhou, like Beijing, has a long history and has produced many celebrities. Hu Yifan said.

After listening to Hu Yifan's words, Wu Dao felt even more rare, and he said to Wu Yisheng:

"Yisheng, I found a part-time worker to clean up the whole house a few days ago, and bought new bedding in the guest bedroom, so that Xiaohu can live in that room. You take good care of Xiaohu these days. ”

"I'm sure I'll take care of it." Wu Yisheng said.

"When are you going back to Beijing?" Wu Dao said.

"We went back on the third day of the first month. I discussed with Yifan, I brought her to our house a year ago, and she will take me to her house a year later. Wu Yisheng said.

"Okay. That's a good arrangement. Wu Dao said.

The Wu family is a three-bedroom apartment, when Meng Yihong was alive, Wu Dao and Meng Yihong lived in one, Wu Yisheng lived in one, and the remaining bedroom was where the guests lived. Wu Yisheng led Hu Yifan to the guest bedroom.

In a moment, it was time for dinner. Wu Dao has taken care of Wu Yisheng for a long time, and he has learned to cook with Meng Yihong, so he can still cook ordinary meals.

However, he felt that Hu Yifan came to the house for the first time, and this first meal should be eaten outside, which would be better, so he and Wu Yisheng and Hu Yifan proposed to go to a restaurant outside to eat and taste Fangzhou's specialties.

When Hu Yifan first came to Wu's house, he couldn't express his position, Wu Yisheng thought it was good, so he decided to go to a restaurant outside for dinner in the evening.

When Meng Yihong was alive, Wu Dao's family sometimes went out to eat, mainly on Wu Yisheng's birthday and Wu Dao and Meng Yihong's wedding anniversary, and the most frequented restaurant was the hotel where Meng Yihong invited Wu Yisheng to dinner for the first time. One is because it is very close, and the other is because the environment is very good and the food is very good.

Wu Dao, Wu Yisheng and Hu Yifan came to the hotel and found that the private room where Meng Yihong invited Wu Yisheng to dinner for the first time happened to be empty, so they asked for the private room.

As soon as he walked into the private room, Wu Yisheng said to Hu Yifan:

"Yifan, do you know, this private room is where I met Mother Meng for the first time. At the time I was very rude to her, but then she treated me like my own son, even better than my own mother. It's a pity that she's not here now, otherwise I'll be able to see you. ”

As he spoke, Wu Yisheng's eyes moistened.

"Mother Meng must be a very good mother, just like my mother." Hu Yifan said.

"Yisheng, don't talk about your mother Meng today. Tomorrow the three of us will go to see your two moms together. Wu Dao said to Wu Yisheng.

"Okay." Wu Yisheng and Hu Yifan said in unison.

Wu Dao asked Hu Yifan to order, then asked Wu Yisheng to order, and finally ordered it himself. The dishes came up one by one, and the three of them began to eat.

Wu Dao didn't know much about Hu Yifan, so he asked her during dinner:

"Xiaohu, I heard Wu Yisheng say that you are an online literature editor in Beijing, right?"

"Yes, uncle, I'm an editor at Vertical Literature." Hu Yifan said.

"It was a large online literature platform, and I also had some business dealings with my company." Wu Yisheng said.

"That's good, you can have more common topics, you can get to know each other more." Wu Dao said.

"You're right, Dad." Wu Yisheng said.

"Xiaohu, Wu Yisheng may have told you about my job, right?" Wu Dao said to Hu Yifan.

"He told me that I know that you are a professor in the Chinese department of the university and a well-known scholar." Hu Yifan said.

"That's all in vain. Fangzhou University would be nothing if it were placed in Beijing. Although I teach literature in college, I don't know much about online literature. At present, there is still relatively little attention paid to this aspect in university literature courses. Xiaohu, what do you do as an online literature editor? Wu Dao said.

"Uncle, there is actually no essential difference between online literature and traditional literature, but the carrier has changed and the form of communication has changed. There is no essential difference between online literary editing and traditional literary editing, both of which are to receive and review manuscripts, and if the author cannot update it on time, we have to urge the manuscript.

However, we actually have a bit more work than traditional literary editors. Because everyone can write about online literature, there may be new authors and new works every day, we must pay attention to it at any time and not miss excellent authors and works.

In addition, there are many online literary writers who often revise the published chapters because they did not carefully review the manuscript before publishing, or because they wrote that their ideas had changed, which also increased our workload. Hu Yifan said.

"Yifan is right. The biggest feature of the Internet industry is that it is fast, and I, like Yifan, am very busy every day. However, we are all doing what we love, and it is worth it to be tired. Wu Yisheng said.

"Xiao Hu is right, online literature and traditional literature are both literature, but the carrier is different. Now I know one more thing, online literary editors and traditional literary editors are also editors, and both require high quality and responsibility.

In this era, online literature has given everyone the opportunity and possibility to become a writer, and there are many online literature writers who are no worse than traditional writers. Wu Dao said.

"Uncle, you're right. There are a lot of online writers who are very good. For example, the writer with the pen name Duckweed Drift writes dignified and elegant, very ancient. There are also writers such as Shushu, Kelly, and a rookie, which are also written well. Hu Yifan said.

"Xiaohu, you are an online literature editor, what do your parents do?" Wu Dao said.

"My dad worked in a bank, and my mom used to work in a writers' association and is now retired. However, they divorced many years ago, and I have been living with my mom. I majored in literature and became an online literature editor, mainly under the influence of my mother. Hu Yifan said.

Hearing the news that Hu Yifan's parents had divorced many years ago, Wu Dao was not good enough to ask her about her family's situation. From Hu Yifan's work, speech and demeanor, it can be judged that she is a girl with good conditions in all aspects, and she is a good match for Wu Yisheng.

At the first meal, the three of them were very harmonious. Wu Dao and Hu Yifan both left a good impression on each other.

Starting the next day, Wu Dao, Wu Yisheng and Hu Yifan began to cook at home. Wu Yisheng once learned to cook with Meng Yihong and could help Wu Dao. To Wu Dao's surprise, Hu Yifan can also cook, and he does it well. This made him more satisfied with Hu Yifan.

On the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Wu Dao took Wu Yisheng and Hu Yifan to the tombs of Shi Qingqing and Meng Yihong to worship, and also took the two dead wives to "go home for the New Year". Wu Dao faced the tombs of Shi Qingqing and Meng Yihong and said:

"Qingqing, Yihong, our son has brought his girlfriend to see you."
