Jiang Fanyue walked onto the podium amid applause.

She took the trophy and admission letter from Mei Xiuming's hand, with a shallow smile on her face, not arrogant or impatient, not frightened, full of general's demeanor.

Afterwards, the judges walked up to the rostrum and took a group photo with the contestants.

When all the processes were over, the parents sitting in the audience came to the stage to meet their children.

Mei Xiuming was chatting with Jiang Fanyue and asked her what books she usually reads.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Yao Rong coming, and Mei Xiuming was about to say goodbye when he heard Yao Rong stop him.

"Teacher Mei, I have something I want to communicate with you."

"It's about the cost of the rematch."

Fifty contestants come from different parts of the country and come from different family backgrounds.

There are people who live in the capital, who have no worries about food and clothing, and can easily come to A University.

Some people live in poor rural areas, their families are poor, and they don't even have the money to go to the city, let alone go to A University, which is thousands of miles away.

The semi-finals will be held offline, so that the players will gather in the capital, which is understandable.

But should the organizers reimburse all the contestants for their travel expenses?

Even a little more generous, you can also be reimbursed for travel expenses and two days of accommodation and food.

After listening to Yao Rong's words, Mei Xiuming was stunned: "We really didn't take this into account. ”

He did not run away, and said bluntly: "It was the organizer's negligence, and I will communicate with others about this matter later." ”

Yao Rong smiled slightly: "It's troublesome." ”

Not long after, Song Zhizhi's family came over and invited Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue to dinner to celebrate.

Song's mother said: "I wanted to invite you to a meal yesterday, but the two children had just finished the competition, and they probably wanted to go back to rest early, so they didn't bring it up." ”

Yao Rong looked at Jiang Fanyue.

Jiang Fanyue nodded.

Yao Rong smiled and said hello: "Then our mother and daughter are welcome." ”

Mother Song waved her hand: "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”

The place to eat is not far from A University, and it is only about 20 minutes away on foot.

Song Zhizhi walked up to Jiang Fanyue and asked her about her writing ideas for the semi-finals.

Jiang Fanyue said on 1510.

Song Zhizhi also told her about her writing ideas.

Both of them far surpassed their peers on the road of writing, and after a conversation, they both gained a lot.

During the meal, Song's mother also invited Jiang Fanyue to visit the Capital Publishing House in two days on behalf of the "People's Daily", and accepted a personal interview by the way.

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows slightly: Do you want to go to the Capital Publishing House?

At the same time, in the venue.

The judges are discussing the cost of the journey.

Mei Xiuming took the lead in saying: "I think this proposal is very good. The players finally passed the preliminary round, and they couldn't be allowed to participate in the semi-finals because of this practical reason. ”

Yun Yingguang also nodded: "The contestants are all minors, in addition to providing the contestant's own travel expenses, you can also provide a parent's travel expenses." ”

If you are accompanied by two parents......

Then the other parent will have to pay for the travel expenses themselves.

Another judge asked: "Do these contestants in the first session want to make up the travel and accommodation expenses?" ”

"I have to make it up." Mei Xiuming clapped.

The competition is sponsored by the National Writers Association, and there is really no shortage of money.

To be honest, they were also negligent, and they didn't notice this until their parents reminded them.

Fortunately, the contestants in the first session have a good family background, and they all arrived at A University smoothly, otherwise wouldn't they delay people's futures.

That night, as soon as Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue returned to the hotel, they heard from the hotel front desk that someone had called the hotel to contact them.

At the time of check-in, in order to facilitate the contact of the contestants, the organizer also registered the hotel address and telephone number of the contestants by the way.

Yao Rong said hello to the front desk and called back directly.

The person opposite turned out to be Mei Xiuming himself.

Mei Xiuming told Yao Rong the results of their discussion: "The travel expenses are according to the standard of the Railway Bureau, and the accommodation and food expenses are according to the standard of fifty yuan a day, and tomorrow, the finance will transfer the 20,000 yuan bonus and this money to your account." ”

Yao Rong said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

Putting down the phone, Yao Rong told Jiang Fanyue about the incident.

Jiang Fanyue subconsciously breathed a long sigh of relief: "This decision is very good." ”

Yao Rong smiled, and when she returned to the door of the room, she said with a straight face: "Yueyue, I want to communicate with you about something." ”

"It's about Jiang You."

Jiang Fanyue didn't remember who Jiang You was for a while.

After a long while, she said slowly: "Mom, do you have news of Jiang You?" ”

Yao Rong understated: "He remarried, and he has a son who is only one year younger than you." ”

Jiang Fanyue was not surprised.

She didn't know what the other children's attitudes were towards their fathers.

But she never expected her biological father.

Only then did Yao Rong hand over a stack of investigation materials to Jiang Fanyue.

Jiang Fanyue quickly finished reading it, and suddenly said, "So Mom, you brought the lawyer team over to sue Jiang You?" ”

Yao Rong held Jiang Fanyue's hand: "Do you mind having a father who commits bigamy?" ”

She was not in a hurry to sue Jiang You, she just wanted to wait for Jiang Fanyue to finish the competition and ask Jiang Fanyue this question in person.

- Although she can roughly guess Jiang Fanyue's choice.

Jiang Fanyue chuckled and shook Yao Rong's hand back: "Mom, do whatever you want." ”

Her biological father, in her first marriage, relied on her father-in-law to help him find a job.

In his second marriage, he also relied on his father-in-law to help him find a job.

If you eat too much soft rice, it's time to take a hammer.

Monday, Capital Press.

As soon as Song's mother entered the office, she heard the joyful voices of her colleagues.

"Your daughter is amazing, and her future achievements will definitely not be easy."

"Zhizhi is really powerful, I read the article she wrote in the rematch, and it has improved a lot compared to half a year ago."

Song's mother smiled and greeted her colleagues.

At this moment, a middle-aged man about forty years old walked in behind him.

The middle-aged man was carrying a black briefcase in his hand, dressed very energetically: "Editor Song, what are you talking about?" ”

Hearing this voice, the smile on Song's mother's face faded a lot: "I'm talking about my daughter's participation in the competition." ”

Jiang You's tone was regretful: "It's a pity, I heard that your daughter almost won the first place." ”

Mother Song said lightly: "What's the pity, that child is too proud, lose once or twice, and polish her temperament." Anyway, she still has a long way to go. ”

Jiang You's face was a little ugly, and he didn't know what he thought of.

The two are also colleagues for many years, and they are both in charge of the "People's Daily".

Last year, Jiang You wanted Song Zhizhi to tutor his son in Chinese, but Song Zhizhi directly refused.

Later, Jiang You made a relatively big mistake, but wanted to take advantage of the relationship between his father-in-law and let Song's mother carry the blame, but Song's mother seized the opportunity and kicked Jiang You away from the "People's Daily".

Since then, the relationship between the two has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and they can't even maintain peace on face.

When Jiang You walked into his office, another colleague reassured Song's mother: "Don't worry about that kind of person. ”

Mother Song looked down at her watch and said with a smile: "I don't care." I invited a guest to visit the publishing house, and she was about to arrive. ”

"What kind of guest?"

"First place in the competition, Jiang Fanyue."

The colleague was happy: "It's her, my daughter has always liked her, and I have to ask her to sign it for a while." ”

Mother Song chatted with her colleague for a few words, looked at the time door and turned to go downstairs.

When she arrived at the door of the publishing house, Yao Rong's mother and daughter were registering their visit with the doorman.

Mother Song stepped forward happily: "Come on, come on, come in, I'll take you around first." ”

The capital is not as big as Changjin Publishing House, but when it comes to the reputation of the industry, the former is definitely far better than the latter.

After walking around the yard for a while, Mother Song took Yao Rong's mother and daughter upstairs.

As soon as they arrived at the office, they saw Yun Yingguang.

Yun Yingguang held the thermos cup, greeted Jiang Fanyue with a smile, and even said to Jiang Fanyue: "Your knowledge and reading are very extensive, are you interested in contributing to the "People's Daily" in the future?" ”

Jiang Fanyue said politely: "If there is a chance, I will definitely do it." ”

Song's mother took Jiang Fanyue to her workstation and began to conduct interviews.

This interview lasted until noon.

Song's mother put away her notebook and planned to take Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue to the staff canteen for dinner.

The publishing house doesn't have many employees, and there are only a few dozen people when it's full, so there's no need to queue up.

As soon as she came to the meal window, Song's mother didn't have time to order, but she heard a "clang", and someone not far away couldn't hold the plate in her hand and knocked the hot meal to the ground.

Jiang You stared at Yao Rong with a ghostly expression.

How can it be!

How did Yao Rong end up here!?

A few years ago, Yao Rong was much older and haggard because of working day and night, but after the living conditions were improved, she also took advantage of the situation to adjust her body and maintain her appearance.

There is only a slight difference between her current and her twenties.

At least, Jiang You, who had shared the bed with her for many years, finally recognized her after looking at her for a long time.

Everyone followed the sound to look at Jiang You, and then followed Jiang You's gaze to Yao Rong, full of curiosity.

Mother Song realized that something was wrong and asked Yao Rong in a low voice, "Do you know each other?" ”

Yao Rong spoke, without deliberately lowering her voice, so everyone around heard her words.

"He's my ex-husband."

Not only Mother Song was stunned, but Yun Yingguang, who had worked with Jiang You for more than ten years, was also stunned.

I haven't heard that Jiang You has been married before.

Jiang You came back to his senses and subconsciously retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about, we didn't get a marriage certificate at all." ”

Yao Rong said: "It is true that I did not get a marriage certificate, but the law recognizes de facto marriages. ”

Yao Rong looked at Mother Song again, and sighed faintly: "Jiang You and I are just like you and Zhizhi's father." One is a rural person, and the other is a rural educated youth, but Zhizhi's father is very responsible and did not leave your mother and daughter, and Jiang You ran away after the college entrance examination. ”

"He left me the address of my hometown, but I asked someone to find it, and it was a fake address."

Taking advantage of Jiang You's still being in a state of shock, Yao Rong didn't give Jiang You a chance to speak at all, and made the situation clear in a few words: "Later, my father was angry with Jiang You to death, and I raised my daughter alone. ”

"That's right—"

Yao Rong took Jiang Fanyue's hand and said to Jiang You: "You don't even know what the name of our daughter is." ”

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Jiang You.

Shocked, confused, disdainful.

Jiang You was very uncomfortable with them.

He never thought that one day, he would reunite with Yao Rong.

Still in such a scenario.

"There is no need to talk about the matter between us in public."

"I know there's a restaurant nearby, it tastes very good, it just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't I invite you to go there for a bite to eat, and catch up on the old days by the way."

Yao Rong said calmly: "What I want to say, I've just finished it, there's nothing to talk about." ”

As if he hadn't heard Yao Rong's words, Jiang You turned his head to look at Jiang Fanyue, pretending to be kind: "This kid has grown so big, he really looks like you." ”

Jiang Fanyue smiled slightly.

Jiang You saw the smile on her face, and immediately said, "Don't scare the child, leave any psychological shadow on the child." ”

Jiang Fanyue said: "It's okay, my biggest psychological shadow was formed as early as when you abandoned your wife and daughter. ”

"This time, in addition to being interviewed, I also wanted to meet you. After all, I haven't seen my biological father since I was born. ”

"Now that I see it, all I can say is that it's as disappointing as I imagined."

Jiang Fanyue didn't want to cause any trouble to Song's mother, so she said to Song's mother: "Auntie, you invited us to dinner last time, why don't you give me a chance to have a meal at noon today?" ”

Jiang You didn't know how he left the cafeteria.

He could feel the needle-like gazes behind him.

Walking to the door of the publishing house, Jiang You just wanted to light a cigarette to calm down, thinking about how to save his reputation and how to appease his wife and father-in-law at home.

"Editor Jiang, there is a letter from you." The doorman shouted at Jiang You.

Jiang You smoked a cigarette, walked to the doorman, took the letter with an impatient face, opened it casually, and saw the court summons inside.

In the restaurant, Song's mother was still in a state of shock.

She wanted to ask clearly, but she was afraid that she would inadvertently poke Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue's sore spots, so she stopped talking.

Yao Rong smiled: "It's okay, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

Song's mother said: "I don't have anything to ask, I just was shocked." ”

Although the two families are not very acquainted, Song's mother is very similar in this matter.

"If there's anything you need help with, just mention it."

Yao Rong smiled: "If you don't feel troublesome, you can help me publicize the good things Jiang You has done in the future." ”

"No problem." Mother Song said decisively.

Many people in the publishing house live in the same community as Jiang You.

In these years, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, not to mention that the publishing house is very well-informed.

By the time it was in the afternoon, Jiang You's matter had reached the ears of many people.

Jiang You's current wife took her son and went back to her parents' house crying and shouting.

Jiang You returned home and looked at the empty home, becoming more and more anxious.

But he also wanted his father-in-law to help settle the lawsuit, so he had to run to his father-in-law's house in the winter, coaxing his wife and apologizing to his father-in-law.

The old man was so angry that he beat him several times with his cane and made him kneel at the door.

However, no matter how Jiang You is, he is his daughter's husband and his grandson's biological father, can he still watch Jiang You bear the lawsuit?

The old man beat and scolded, and Jiang You should have written a letter of guarantee, so he could only call some friends cheekily and ask them to check Yao Rong's heels.

With a specific name and a specific place to live, it's easy to find out what a person is doing.

But looking at the information found, the old man couldn't wait to beat Jiang You again.

"Didn't you say that your ex-wife was just an ordinary village woman?"

"Have you ever seen a village woman like this! Yes! ”

This is a conscientious entrepreneur who is directly in the leadership of Changjin City, or even the provincial leader.

The other party not only has money, but also has an entire city leadership team and provincial leadership team as a backer.

After all, since the opening of the fairy tale world factory, the other party does not know how much it has contributed to the economic development of the city and the province.

If he is a city leader or a provincial leader, as long as he doesn't encounter any major events, he will definitely protect the other party to death.

Oh, I heard that last year, the provincial party committee, secretary and secretary were transferred to the central government.

The other party has a backer in the center!

Does he dare to do it casually?

If he makes a move, he doesn't know who will take care of whom.

After listening to his father-in-law's words, Jiang You was dumbfounded.

"This, this, this...... That's impossible! ”

"Yao Rong is a village girl who has never read a book and can't read a few big characters, how can she have such a big factory. Is it possible that there is a mistake over there? ”

Even if it is his father-in-law, he is just a small factory.

That is, he joined the army back then and knew some old comrades-in-arms, which helped Jiang You plan a thing or two.

As for the city leaders, even the people from the central side......

The threshold is too high, even if his father-in-law wants to give gifts to others, people can't look down on him.

And the daughter he never even hugged was actually the famous author Jiang Fanyue?

Or the first place in the Youth Literature Creation Contest!?

His son's Chinese grades were so poor that he wanted to find Song Zhizhi to help with tutoring.

Just when Jiang You was shocked and doubted his life, the phone of his father-in-law's house rang again.

It was a comrade-in-arms who called.

Jiang You's father-in-law once took a shot for this comrade-in-arms on the battlefield, so the relationship between the two families has always been very close.

But at this moment, the tone of the comrade-in-arms was very serious.

"Your son-in-law's affairs, don't interfere."

"He went in, with you and me taking care of him, Ah He and Lele will not be bad in the future."

"The other party clearly just wants to settle accounts with your son-in-law, but if you intervene, it is estimated that you will get into trouble, and even I can't help you."

That is, they have been friends for many years, otherwise their comrades-in-arms would not have called this phone reminder at all.

But the words of the comrades-in-arms are obviously useful.

Hanging up the phone, the old man didn't look at Jiang You, only waved his hand to his daughter and grandson and said, "You go back to the house to rest." ”

Jiang You knows his father-in-law too well.

This gesture ......

It's clear that you're going to give up on him.

Jiang You crawled and wanted to hug his father-in-law's thigh, but was knocked by his father-in-law with a cane.

Jiang You was in pain and didn't dare to get any closer, so he could only pretend to be pitiful and said, "Dad, you can't help me." Lele is still young, he can't live without his father. Also, Ah He and I are not divorced, and you don't want her to have a husband who has been in prison. ”

Hearing the threat in Jiang You's words, the old man glared at Jiang You fiercely, eager to kill him: "You are committing the crime of bigamy now, according to the law, this marriage between you and Ah He is not counted at all!" ”

"My temple is small, but I can't accommodate you as a son-in-law. Get the hell out of here! ”

He had a son and a daughter, and in order to keep his son in the city, he and his wife were ruthless in sending their youngest daughter to be an educated youth.

When the youngest daughter returned to the city, she had become a big girl in her twenties.

He, his wife and son were all ashamed of this daughter, so they tried their best to help her choose a husband, who knew that her daughter had fallen in love with her classmate Jiang You.

couldn't resist his daughter, and his daughter said that he was already pregnant with Jiang You's child, so he reluctantly agreed to this marriage.

Who knew what was going on......

Alas, even if his daughter was pregnant, he should have sent someone to investigate Jiang You's past, instead of listening to Jiang You's words and marrying his daughter to such a thing that is not a thing.

The court's verdict came down quickly.

Jiang You was sentenced to two years in prison for bigamy, and he had to pay Jiang Fanyue's eighteen years of child support in a lump sum.

After receiving the money, Jiang Fanyue donated it casually.

She stood in the cold wind and said to Yao Rong: "Mom, when you return to Changjin City, you can accompany me to change your surname." ”

Yao Rong smiled and said, "Yao Fanyue?" ”

Jiang Fanyue nodded vigorously.

She and Jiang You have not had anything to do with it for a long time.

On the other side, Song Zhizhi also listened to Song's mother say everything.

She hugged Song's mother's arm and said with emotion: "How do I feel, I am like Jiang Fanyue's control group." ”

has a similar family background, a similar age, and the same occupation, but it leads to different destinies.

Mother Song could understand the meaning of the control group, flicked Song Zhizhi's forehead, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, you are all the protagonists of your respective destinies." ”
