Chapter 45: The Poor
Shuangmendong, a Brazilian fried rice cake shop.
Gu Yu and a few people met after school to eat fried rice cakes and fried chicken, and as soon as they entered the door, the TV placed on the high ceiling was playing the live stage of the fire truck.
As soon as Gu Yu entered the door, he saw Deshan sitting with his back to him, and Donglong Zhenghuan, who came first, acted as if he didn't see Deshan.
"Deshan, do you want to eat fried rice cakes with your friends? Boss, give them another fried rice cake, fried chicken, and three bottles of soda. ”
"Hehe, Brother Gu Yu is the best." When Deshan saw that it was Gu Yu, a smile immediately brightened on his face.
"Alright, let's play with my friends."
"Gu Yu, why are you inviting her to eat, it's a waste."
Gu Yu smiled and turned around and sat down with the baby fish, Deshan glared at Zhenghuan, and then looked at Gu Yu before turning his head, her two best friends glanced at each other, their eyes full of gossip.
A few boys left after eating, Gu Yu said hello to Deshan before leaving, and when she turned around again, the corners of her mouth were still rising, and she met two pairs of eyes full of curiosity.
"Ah, scare me, what are you doing!" Deshan shuddered with fright, patted his chest lightly, and asked.
"Deshan, who is that handsome and gentle boy?"
"Brother from the same alley, what do you want to ask?"
"You guys, aren't you? What's in that? Zhang Meiyu and Wang Zixian made a gesture of touching their index fingers.
"Ah, how is it possible, we, we are brothers and sisters, okay? Don't guess! Deshan's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and hurriedly explained.
"Look at your face, really, what is there to hide from us." Zhang Meiyu glanced at Deshan and said disdainfully.
"Is it so obvious? Alas~" Deshan no longer insisted, patted his face, and then thought of something again, and sighed deeply.
"Why are you sighing, tell us about this boy."
Wang Zixian asked very inquisitively, Deshan adjusted his emotions and told Gu Yu about it.
"It's so pitiful, I lost my parents at the age of 18, I'm so strong and good, I'm careful, and I can cook."
Deshan rolled his eyes for a while, and the mother's love was overflowing for a while, and the two daughters of the for a while.
"You say, does Brother Gu Yu like me?"
"It feels like I'm taking care of you like a sister." The two women thought for a moment and said.
"Well, that's why I sigh." Deshan sighed slightly in frustration.
"However, there are no other girls around him, do childhood sweethearts know, women chase men, you take the initiative, and slowly he understands your mind, maybe they will be together." Wang Zixian came up with an idea.
"Don't don't, don't be, if he only treats Deshan as his sister, then it will be self-defeating, and the relationship will be estranged."
Deshan listened to his best friend's words left and right, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only go with the flow and look forward to a good time.
Soon, it was time for a school trip, and both boys and girls were excited to hang out together.
Deshan, who has always wanted a Walkman, was very enthusiastic when he heard that a stage competition would be held on this school trip, and the first prize was the Walkman.
Every day, he pulled Donglong and them to practice dance at Gu Yu's house, and Gu Yu was really not interested in this, so he provided a venue.
And Gu Yu's science fiction novel "The Martian" also decided to sign a contract with Random House, with an initial order of 15%, and a later adjustment ratio according to the market, with a minimum of 8% and a maximum of 40%
And Gu Yu is willing to share part of the cake of film and television adaptation with the publishing house, but the publishing house must do its best to build momentum for Gu Yu and help him win the Trajectory Award, Hugo Award and Nebula Award.
In fact, the Korean cultural circle has heard about it, but the novel has not yet been released, and most of them are still waiting, and the small media Gu Yu is too lazy to pay attention.
Gu Yu doesn't need so much exposure, what he needs is a throne accumulated by the prestige of the award.
It is said that in Deshan's family, for this study trip, or for the expenses of each month, Yihua will have a sad face.
Originally, Gu Yu wanted to pay 250,000 yuan for food to Yihua every month, so that the Deshan family could reduce the burden, but Cheng Dongyi and Li Yihua insisted again and again, and finally it became 100,000, and it was all spent on Gu Yu.
The kind character makes even the virtuous parents who live in poverty unwilling to take advantage of Gu Yu, and the improvement of three meals a day has made Yihua feel that she owes Gu Yu a lot of money.
But what makes it most difficult for Yihua to accept is that in the case of such a tight family budget, her husband is still buying some useless things, although it is to help the poor poor, but his own family is also poor.
"Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, is it war years?"
Cheng Dongyi looked at the table full of various dishes made of potatoes, and his angry chopsticks were inserted into the baked potatoes, and he became angry at Yihua.
"Isn't it all you?" Ichika looked at her husband angrily.
"Dad, you bought a big box of potatoes yesterday and came back, saying that the grandmother in front of the station was too pitiful."
Sunset whispered in Cheng Dongyi's ear, and Cheng Dongyi smiled awkwardly, "Haha, is Dad good at acting?" ”
Yihua glared at her husband dissatisfied, looked at a few children, and sighed slightly when she thought of Deshan's school trip tomorrow.
After dinner, Yihua slapped the bottom of the already empty bottle of skin care products, hoping to use it again as much as possible, and looked at her husband who had no heart and lungs and had fallen asleep, and her heart was even more depressed.
"Auntie? Aunt? Haven't slept yet, have you? ”
At this time, he heard Gu Yu's voice coming from the door, and quickly got up.
"Gu Yu, you're back, what did the editor say?"
Gu Yu's writing of novels is also known to several families in Hutong, but Gu Yu didn't say too much detail, just said that a publishing house would help him publish it, even so, Cheng Dongyi and Yihua were already very proud.
"It's all said that next Monday, my novel will be on the shelves in Europe, America and Asia simultaneously."
"Oh, great, great, our Gu Yu has become a great writer!"
Gu Yu happily hugged Aunt Yihua, Yihua was also full of excitement, her voice was choked, and she gently patted Gu Yu's back.
After a while, when the two of them calmed down, Gu Yu handed me a flower in the handbag he had been holding.
"These are two sets of Amore's cosmetics that I bought when I came back, and two bottles of red wine, drinking this is good for my uncle's health."
"Gu Yu, why are you buying us things again, isn't this spending money indiscriminately, uncle and aunt can know that you have a heart."
"Auntie, this is to share happiness and joy with you, you are my dear family." Gu Yu smiled and said sincere words, moving Yihua to tears.
Sending Gu Yu away, Yihua, who was sitting in front of the dresser, adjusted her emotions, picked up the gift that Gu Yu gave her, and found that in addition to cosmetics, there was also an envelope.
"Auntie, Deshan is going on a school trip tomorrow, is Uncle helping others again this month? Auntie, I hope you can tell me about your parents, instead of keeping it in your heart.
Because, since my parents left, I have regarded my uncle and aunt as my dearest people, if it weren't for you, I might still be depressed, I don't know what it would become, I will be a writer in the future, please make me feel that my efforts can make the life of the people around me better. ”
In addition to Gu Yu's letter in the envelope, there was also a check for 10 million and 100,000 in cash, and Yihua couldn't help crying again.
Cheng Dongyi also woke up, walked to Yihua's side, picked up the letter and read it, and saw the gifts and checks again, his expression was complicated, and his eyes were a little moist.
