Chapter 117: The Queen Mother's Peach
Yue Xin told Xing Yi that before meeting Hu Yanli, he had always thought that Zhang Siyi's natural conditions were very good, and there was no suitable partner for her in the township, and her love should go across the mountains, rivers and fields to the city to get it, so he thought that after a while, he would contact Xing Yi again and ask how his career is now, and if he has time to recall the encounter in Phoenix Datun.
After seeing Hu Yanli, I felt that it was Xing Yi who resigned because the goal had been established, this Hu Yanli looked really outstanding, there was something fascinating about her, compared with her and Zhang Siyi, there was a big difference, both of them were beautiful, but one was introverted, a little smaller, the other cheerful, much plump. Compared with Xing Yi's old Cheng Zhi, he revisits the elegance and elegance, and indeed needs an extrovert to complement each other.
"That day, I was seeking truth from facts, taking out your original words and plates, and telling her that you politely rejected my suggestion, indicating that you should put your career first and ignore personal problems for the time being."
Xing Yi just laughed, Hu Yanli went to the countryside to investigate, and she was so conscientious for her friends, which Xing Yi appreciated and appreciated very much.
Yue Xin contacted Hu Yanli, and after answering her inquiry, he knew that Hu Yanli was Xing Yi's girlfriend's best friend, and Yue Xin suddenly realized. During their conversation in the countryside, Hu Yanli did not introduce him to him, Yue Xin was one of the parties involved, and now listening to him and demonstrating it vividly, Xing Yi was very interested.
"I was like telling her at the time, your unrestrained and enthusiastic heart doesn't need to be flustered, your Xing Yi is too steady and reserved, Teacher Zhang Siyi is so in our minds...... He was not moved, and there was no reason for such a man not to believe it. β
Yue Xin painted a beautiful voice, saying that he was very surprised at the time, that Hu Yanli was already quite outstanding, but after some conversation, he knew that she was not Xing Yi's girlfriend, so who was it, who could get the love of that reserved beautiful man? How outstanding she must be.
Later, he learned that it was Ni Shuzhen from the business office of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
Yue Xin said: "I went to the business room before, and there was indeed a dignified-looking, elegant and atmospheric girl in it, and everyone who went in to do business inevitably wanted to stay for a while and find an excuse to stay longer, and I was the same." Hehe, now everything is clear, when you go back one day, you must take me to meet you, and introduce us to each other. After that, when I send the manuscript, I don't have to beat around the bush. β
Xing Yi nodded: "No problem, you are ready, next week, I will take you to meet." β
"Also, I don't know what Hu Yanli said to her when she came back and said what happened that day, Hu Yanli is a person with a lot of imagination, will she add fuel to the fire and promote my honesty and trustworthiness as naΓ―ve and ridiculous, so you see, if you think it is necessary, you can arrange it, give me a chance, and make some explanations in front of the two of them, so that Hu Yanli can get to know me again."
"No problem, I'll definitely fulfill your wish after a while."
Lunch was eaten in the canteen of the hydropower plant, four dishes and one soup, rice, steamed buns were enough, the canteen was equipped with strawberry wine, Xing Yi brought Yue Xin half a cup, Yue Xin smacked his lips and said, "It's so sweet." β
While eating, he opened his heart and told Xing Yi about the things he and his girlfriend encountered together.
Yue Xin's girlfriend is also a teacher, but she is not in the same township as him, in a certain township, the two of them meet once a week, and at the beginning they thought it was so good, and their emotions deepened every time they met.
But as time went by, I began to think about the future, and gradually I felt that it was not possible to go on like this, and once I got married, would I have to live apart like this again? What to do with having a child?
Xing Yi comforted him: "After getting married, you can ask for a transfer in accordance with the relevant regulations, transfer you, or transfer her." β
Yue Xin said: "It's not easy, I've inquired, it's very troublesome to transfer, and it costs a lot of money to find acquaintances." β
"It doesn't matter, take your time, there will always be a way." Xing Yi said.
Yue Xin mentioned the construction of the irrigation station in Shangyan Village, he went to see it, the foundation was laid, the installation frame was raised, the machinery and equipment had been transported in place, and more than a dozen workers were working every day.
Xing Yi felt relieved and said, "I must go and see it in two days." β
There is a series of books that include two small essays written by Yue Xin, which are sold in bookstores, and Yue Xin did not forget to let Xing Yi know.
He told Xing Yi: "It will be on the shelves in two days, and I will buy a copy for you when the time comes." β
Xing Yi asked: "How much did you pay at the beginning?" β
"When it was published in the newspaper, the editorial department remitted thirty-six dollars."
"And now."
"How can I do it now?"
"Did you contact you before the book was published?"
"There is only one notice that your prose has been included."
"Didn't talk about royalties?"
"Royalties?"
"Collecting and publishing books, bookstore sales, who will get the income?"
"How do I know that?"
"The author has a part."
"Didn't you pay for the manuscript? Those thirty-six pieces. β
"You think that's the end of it? So......"
Yue Xin looked at him in a daze.
"When a publishing house gathers good-looking articles and publishes them, and the books are sold through bookstores, the publishing house will have income, and if there are more people who buy books, there will be reprints, and they will continue to sell and continue to have income. It's not a matter of thirty-six dollars. β
"I haven't heard of it."
"You'll find out later. If you think what I said makes sense, you might as well contact other authors and join forces to find a publisher and ask for an explanation. β
"You have a point. I'm going to see how I'm going to get in touch with them, and uh-huh, there's got to be a saying, yes. β
Because he had said that he would go to see the progress of the old carpenter's carving pedestal at noon, Xing Yi took Yue Xin to the small village after eating.
Xing Yi let Yue Xin see the toad stone and the immortal peach stone.
Yue Xin liked the stone shaped like a peach very much, and rubbed it repeatedly in his hand.
Knowing that Xing Yi was going to send the toad stone to the expo, he shook his head and said: "Then you might as well send this piece, you can take the name of a queen mother immortal peach, and the taste of history and culture is included." β
Xing Yi said: "The peach stone is a little too small, the expo field is wide, and the stone is too small to be seen, compared to the toad stone, which is much larger." β
"I don't think this toad stone looks good......"
"I know what you're trying to say, it's ugly, but it's easy to catch people's eyes. And the main purpose of my visit this time is to find someone who knows how to take a look and evaluate how valuable this kind of stone is. β
Yue Xin commented on the peach stone, he saw that in the Journey to the West comic book, the fairy peach given by the Jade Emperor to the Queen Mother was like this, the color was half red and half white, not very round, slightly crooked, and the painter took a lot of thought to deal with it like this.
Xing Yi said: "If you like this crooked peach, then I'll give it to you." β
"You must send this toad stone?"
"The master spent two days carving the pedestal, can you not go?"
Yue Xin said: "Since you have made such a decision, then this piece of the Queen Mother's fairy peach will belong to me." β
"Of course."
Half a day passed quickly, Yue Xin was going back, Xing Yi sent him to the side of the road, watched him get into the farm bus, and held the "Queen Mother's Immortal Peach" in his arms.
