“…… Since it is inconvenient to come to the scene, let's ask Mr. 'ABC' to give an acceptance speech through video link. ”

“…… Thanks ......"

Ji Zhuo buckled his mask and connected the video connection.

As usual, he gave a short acceptance speech.

Then I listened to a few words of the rainbow fart of the host of the award ceremony,

That's the end of the video connection.

As for the trophies, he had to wait for Carol to send him them.

When the video was connected, I also saw the editor-in-chief Carol who went to receive it,

There was some excitement on his face.

"Ah~"

After the video connection ends,

Ji Zhuo's computer was buttoned, and as soon as the mask he had just put on was removed, he threw it to the side, yawning and getting up to go back to the house.

It's two or three o'clock in the morning, although he may still be scrolling through his phone on the bed in the bedroom at this time, but in bed, can it feel the same?

But as soon as he got up, Ji Zhuo picked up the mask he had just thrown to the side.

Maybe it'll be used next time......

took the mask and looked at it, and Ji Zhuo found a place to put it away.

Then he yawned and went back to his bedroom.

……

On the other hand, after Ji Zhuo received the award,

The number of viewers of the online live broadcast of the Europa Literary Construction Awards has also begun to plummet.

Many readers came over because of Ji Zhuo, and at this time, Ji Zhuo finished receiving the award, so he naturally slipped away.

Of course...... There are also reasons why the award was originally awarded later.

"Cool! Worthy of my favorite author! Full of mystery, unique style, I like such authors! ”

University of Great Britain,

Inside the dormitory.

Xi Yuan's British roommate just finished watching the live broadcast of the awards,

While closing his laptop, he was still talking excitedly.

When I was already listening to the live broadcast of this British roommate, I don't know how many times I excitedly chanted similar words,

Anyway, when the "ABC" video link was connected to receive the award, every word 'ABC' said.

The roommate followed with a word of praise.

Anyway, it's 'ABC' that says everything is good, and everything is cool.

Listening to Xi Yuan, who was also watching the live broadcast, he felt a little numb in his scalp.

"Didn't you say before that 'Dog Author' was your favorite author?"

After watching the live broadcast at this time, Xi Yuan also turned off the computer and couldn't help but say.

"Nope! That's different! ”

"What's the difference?"

"Oh! Xi Yuan! Are you trying to make it difficult for me to choose my favorite among these two excellent writers? ”

"They're all my favorite writers...... Right! They are all my favorite authors. ”

As if he had found the most satisfactory answer, the British roommate nodded again.

As for Xi Yuan, listening to his roommate's words, he only felt that he had nothing to say.

He turned around and touched his phone again.

"Oh! By the way, the two copies of 'Dog Author' are about to be released in English, and I have to see if they are on sale. ”

"How can it be so fast."

"That's right. Hey, waiting is always distressing and hateful. ”

glanced at the roommate who sighed again,

Xi Yuan lowered his head again, still looking at his phone.

On the screen of the mobile phone, open the non-ink,

On the bookshelf, the new book that the dog author is still serializing is the first on the shelf.

"Star Dream" Xi Yuan is also chasing more.

I haven't seen any of today's updates.

I don't care about my roommate who sighs here anymore,

Xi Yuan opened today's update of the dog author,

I watched it again, and soon immersed myself in the story again.

……

The story of the third chapter of "Dream of Stars" continues to develop.

The woman was alone in the house, recording all kinds of complicated instructions on a piece of paper, with ifs,

and then looked at the places where the advice might be used,

After making sure that there was no problem, the woman put away the book with the instructions in mind.

Then he sat on a stool, not knowing what to think.

After a pause, she went to the balcony again and put away the clothes she had dried yesterday.

Then in the bedroom, tidying up, folding clothes.

just took her own, her daughter's clothes,

Tidying up and sorting out like this, the woman's eyes are inexplicably red.

In the closet of her bedroom, many of her husband's clothes are still there.

Her daughter wouldn't let her throw it away, and she didn't want to throw it herself, so she just stayed.

At this moment, putting down the freshly folded clothes in her hand, the woman clenched the husband's clothes in the closet with both hands,

Trembling and red-eyed, she brought her husband's dress closer to her, and then hugged it.

Finally, there was a sound of tears falling on the surface of the clothes,

There was a suppressed cry coming from the clothes - the woman buried her head in this husband's clothes.

……

The author of this plot describes it too carefully,

It's like a sudden outburst in calm,

The woman in the book cried suppressedly.

Readers who read the book, Xi Yuan couldn't help but reddened his eyes,

The psychological sourness can't be stopped.

I exhaled a few breaths repeatedly before I suppressed my sour emotions.

It's just that I haven't been willing to take my eyes off the story on the phone screen, and continue to look down.

……

The plot of the text continues.

The perspective reappears on the little girl.

When you go out,

Her mother gave her more pocket money today,

Maybe it's compensation for bullying her yesterday, or for letting her get up early in the morning this morning to cook?

The girl couldn't figure it out either.

But in the end, it was won.

It's just that the stickers I bought yesterday are almost used again, and in the end, the little girl replaced her pocket money with these stickers at the convenience store at school.

At this time, it's recess.

In the classroom, other students are talking funny things or playing some fun games.

The little girl Yuxi sat on the seat, holding the sticker and carefully folding the stars.

She carefully put away each folded star, and took a transparent plastic bag in the desk drawer and put it on.

"Xu Yuxi, what are you doing?"

She came back from the same table, saw the little girl's movements, asked, and then came over with some curiosity,

"Why are you doing this? Do you want me to fold it for you? ”

"No, no."

The little girl pulled her sticker closer to her arms and shook her head firmly.

"Oh......"

The same table is also a girl, and when she saw the little girl Yuxi's appearance, she didn't say anything, but she still glanced at Yuxi from time to time, a little curious.

The little girl, however, continued to fold her stars intently, seriously.

At this time,

The class bell rang,

A few students who were playing hurriedly ran to their seats,

When someone passed by the little girl's side, he accidentally bumped into the girl's hand.

So one of the girl's freshly folded stars fell to the ground.

“…… Excuse me...... I'm sorry......"

The man was a little embarrassed,

But the girl just looked at the star that fell to the ground, reached out and picked it up,

just shook his head at the man, and then looked at the dusty and dirty star, pursed his lips, and felt a little distressed,

Although her father never told her that she couldn't have a star when it was dirty.

But for her, that's it.

"Why don't I fold it for you?"

"No, no!"

The girl shook her head firmly, and then put the dirty star in her pocket.

in the text.

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

The girl folded the stars during the day and carefully put them in her school bag.

I was afraid of being pressed, so I put it on the top of my school bag.

Then he carried his schoolbag and walked out of the school.

location at the entrance of the school,

The girl didn't look up or linger.

Her mother rarely came to pick her up, and she always had to work late before leaving work.

The school was not far from her home, and the road was a wide street, and she usually went back by herself.

"Rain Creek!"

Someone called out to her, and the girl raised her head,

But she saw her mother.

Her mother came to pick her up today.

Seeing the girl look over, the mother smiled at the little girl and walked over.

But the girl was not happy, she only showed doubt in her eyes, and then walked over as well.

"Don't you have to go to work today?"

The girl asked, confused.

"It's done early."

That's how the mother replied.

"Let's go, let's go back...... By the way, we went to the supermarket again, and we bought milk that I said in the morning, and then bought some other things. ”

The mother said, putting her arm around the girl's shoulder.

The girl straightened the shoulder straps of her schoolbag, and the stars that were folded today were still in her schoolbag.

She actually wanted to go home as soon as possible and put the folded stars in the jar.

It's just that her mother said she wanted a supermarket.

The girl didn't say anything more, just nodded, and followed her mother to the supermarket.

……

"Yuxi, go wash your hands, and then we'll cook."

After buying groceries at the supermarket, the girl and her mother went home.

As soon as she got home, the girl ran into her bedroom.

After a while, I came out with my school bag again.

Then the girl put down her bag, went to wash her hands, and then went into the kitchen in silence.

Tonight's cooking is still the same as last night,

The kitchen was much quieter than the night before.

From chopping vegetables to stir-frying, the already smart little girl didn't let her mother say more, and she was already basically able to stir-fry.

It's just that even if the girl is holding a spatula, she is stir-frying the vegetables with the fear of the possibility of splashing oil in the pot,

It still can't hide the fact that the girl is still young, and even if she cooks, she needs to step on two stools.

The mother watched in some silence from the side,

When the oil in the pot splashed a little, I tried to reach out several times, but I still held back.

Just when the dish is about to be fried, you can see it outside the window when it is just dark,

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

There was a knock on the door.

But the mother breathed a sigh of relief,

"Yuxi, you go open the door, I'll put it up here."

The mother seemed relieved to take the spatula from the girl's hand,

But I didn't let the girl see it, and said with her head down.

The girl looked at her mother, then got down from the stool,

Without saying a word, he ran to open the door.

The woman waited for her daughter to open the door directly, and stir-fried the dishes in the pot a few more times.

Then he put the vegetables in the pot and served them,

I glanced at the rice cooker next to me, and it was almost cooked.

After hesitating, the woman put out the fire on the stove, took the pot of stir-fry to the sink and washed it with water.

After just a few washes, the woman turned off the water again and paused.

Didn't my daughter go to open the door,

Why do you only hear the sound of the door opening and not see other movements?

The woman was about to turn her head, when she heard her daughter's surprise crying out with tears,

"Dad! Father! Father! ”

The woman froze at once.

She didn't even know if she wanted to keep turning.

And immediately after, she heard the familiar, many faint words that had sounded in her ears again.

“…… Eh, my baby girl, is Daddy back, happy? ”

“…… Father...... Daddy......"

The daughter was still crying and kept shouting.

The woman in the kitchen finally couldn't help it and turned around,

Moved his feet and walked out of the kitchen,

Then I saw that the familiar, haunting figure appeared by the door of the living room,

That's her husband.

He was wearing the last clothes she had changed into before leaving, which she had bought for him.

It's his favorite outfit, and he's been wearing it for several years, and he's not willing to leave it behind.

At this moment, her husband had just taken off his coat and dragged his shoes on.

While crying and aggrieved, the daughter who rushed over,

As if nothing had happened before, her husband just came back from work as usual, as before.

The woman walked to the living room, looked at the familiar face, and paused.

His eyes began to grow redder, but he didn't make a sound.

“…… Father...... Mom bullies me, mom bullies me! ”

The little girl's grievances that she had accumulated these days finally poured out in the face of her father,

In her father's arms, crying, aggrieved,

"How could your mother bully you, did you make your mother angry?"

"Nope! Mom just wants me to stir-fry ......."

"Mom wants you to be able to learn how to stir-fry and ...... by yourself So you'll be able to grow up, you know? ”

Changed his shoes, Dad picked up the girl,

"Hmm...... Dad, I miss you so much...... Father...... I miss you so much, Dad...... Daddy, you're finally back......"

The girl still had red eyes and kept talking with tears.

"Dad knows, my baby daughter is wronged, but isn't Dad coming back? It's all right, Daddy is here, Daddy is here......"

The man blushed at the little girl, hugged the little girl and looked at the woman standing next to him with red eyes,

Looking at his wife, the man had a smile on his face,

"Wife, I'm back."

"Hmm."

The woman only answered shallowly,

It's like her husband only came back from work today,

She didn't even ask more.

But after answering like this, the tears began to fall down with a snap.

“…… I went to serve the rice, and the meal was ready. ”

Turning around in a hurry, the woman headed for the kitchen.

And the little girl, still holding her father, cried heartbreakingly.

She was so wronged, and she missed her father too much.

“…… Daddy......"

"Oooh...... It's okay, look at my baby sad...... It's all right......"

The man closed the door with his hand, and sat on the sofa in the living room with his daughter, still coaxing.

“…… Daddy, I thought you ...... Will never come back...... Whining...... Daddy......"

"Mom said you lied to me...... Whining...... Father...... I miss you so much......"

The girl was crying, sobbing and crying uncontrollably.

"It's all right...... How could Dad lie to you...... Isn't Daddy coming back? ”

The man kept coaxing his daughter.

The girl cried for a long time before she stopped.

"Daddy...... Where have you been? ”

The girl with red eyes and tears in her eyes was in her father's arms, and asked her father again.

It was a question her mother didn't ask, or even dared to ask.

The woman who came out of the kitchen to serve food also paused when she heard the girl's words.

But he didn't turn his head to look.

“…… Daddy...... Went to a far, far away place. It's just too far, so I'm rushing back at this time. ”

“…… Then Dad, you're tired of coming back so far. ”

"It's all right...... Seeing my baby daughter think about her dad like this, dad doesn't get tired all of a sudden......"

The woman re-entered the kitchen, her eyes red all the time.

The girl turned her head and looked at her mother,

Then he leaned into her father's ear and asked her a very puzzled question.

"Daddy...... You made me fold the stars, and I folded them all...... You have to fold it well...... But my star hasn't filled the jar yet. ”

The girl said.

Her father put his arms around the little girl, but he just smiled and touched the girl's hair.

"Because Dad also misses Yuxi, so he came back early."

As he spoke, the man turned his head again and looked at his wife in the kitchen.

Although the little girl's glass jar has not yet been filled with stars,

But someone's glass jar is already full of stars.
