"Alas, it's hard to put into words. ”

Li Dong sighed, and recounted that he had no choice but to embark on the road of buying a house, for the sake of Han Zhuang's handbasket and a better way out, this is not his own righteousness and awe-inspiring to buy a set of courtyard houses in order to better communicate with George and Mary.

The more Li Dong said, the more he felt that this was the case, and sure enough, he was still too noble.

It's great, what kind of spirit is this, dedication, Guo Xiujiao and Liu Qingqing were so moved that they almost wiped their tears, and Huang Shengnan on the side suddenly felt that the bread was not fragrant, why was it a little disgusting.

"Ahem. Huang Shengnan felt that he should remind Li Dong not to go too far, the bread is not fragrant!

"Look, what am I talking about, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. ”

Li Dongxin said that he was moved, it was really true. "Do you want to go back to Uncle Guofu for reimbursement, forget it, forget it, I'm not that kind of person, let's dedicate it silently. ”

"Come on, this lamb stew is good, eat more. ”

"If you don't have some wine, let's congratulate Comrade Li Dong, publish, and buy a new house. ”

It's impossible to drink alcohol, or how to work after a while, Li Dong resolutely disagrees with girls drinking, unless they drink with themselves.

"I still have classes in the evenings. Liu Qingqing said embarrassedly.

"Don't drink alcohol, let's drink soup, the soup here tastes good. ”

A meal cost Li Dong more than 20 yuan, good guy, almost spent a piece of money for an electronic watch, Guo Xiujiao wanted to have a treat, Li Dong stopped, how could a big man let a girl have a treat.

"Don't, go back to Wucheng, you please. ”

"That's settled. ”

When I came to Li Dong's courtyard, the place was quite big, and there were not many others, a room of chairs and benches. "There's a lot of furniture. ”

"Alas. ”

Li Dong said about the situation, the storage of four old items, unless the furniture is some old books, Li Dong looked through it, there are some old books of the Qing Dynasty, Li Dong sorted it out, this thing does not know the price.

I just planned to visit Mr. Qigong and send some old books, cultural people are particular about sending books, Li Dong feels that he has sent books, why should the old man send a few pairs of words, or it will be too unparticular.

"Let's sit down. ”

"It's a lot of dust. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't clean it, you sit down, take a break, I'll clean up." ”

Li Dong prepared a lot of brooms and dustpans, what, a few girls couldn't let Li Dong do it, Li Dong saw that it was okay, brought a watering can, sprinkled water first, and cleaned it all afternoon.

"I'm so sorry, please keep you busy all afternoon. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

In the evening, Li Dong wanted to have a treat, but Guo Xiujiao said that he would take Li Dong and them to eat Beijing's famous snacks, this Li Dong was interested, Li Dong went shopping in the past few nights, there was basically no nightlife, and there were few twenty-four business places in the huge Beijing city.

snacks, I really found a place for Guo Xiujiao, but some small stalls are rare these days, and many of them are state-run stores. Li Dong estimated that it would be lively here in a few years, and the snacks tasted good.

It's just that Liu Qingqing has to go to class, and he hasn't been shopping for too long, so it's good to have a full stomach.

Back at the guest house, Li Dongxin said if he wanted to make the bed and go back to the courtyard for one night. "Forget it. ”

got up early in the morning, Li Dong hurried to the courtyard, took a few old books, and came to Mr. Qigong's house.

"It's you again. ”

"Let's send a few books to Mr. Qigong. ”

A few old books really interested this gentleman, Li Dong finally entered the door, and his relatives didn't move around much, but they were unfamiliar, and Li Dong took a lot of thought for this relative.

"Little comrade, are you looking for me?"

Qigong's attitude was quite kind, and Li Dong was very happy to see this old gentleman. "I want to thank you. Li Dong introduced himself, and Qi Gong remembered that he had written a few articles for people's literature, but he really didn't expect it.

After chatting a few words, I learned that Li Dong came to Beijing for publishing, so I didn't make a special trip to visit myself, but came a few times. "I'm really sorry for you, little comrade, I can't see outsiders, but I let you run a few times in vain. ”

"It's okay, it's good for young people to run more. ”

There was a word of chatting, Li Dong saw that the old gentleman didn't mean to send something, so he asked for it himself.

"I'm here to ask you for help writing a preface. ”

"My article is unsightly, unsightly. ”

Yes, it's really not on the road at all, old comrade, you are like this, this relative is not easy to go.

"I'll write a poem. ”

"Great, sir, I don't know if I can make a small request. Li Feng thinks that he is also a poet, so what, can the old man help write his poems, let's face the sea and bloom in spring.

"I'm still a poet. ”

Qi Gong is quite unexpected, people's literature can be published, the level must be there, and the last time the top ten prose won the award, this level is not low, I didn't expect Li Dong to be a poet, just a modern poem.

However, Li Dong's poem manuscript was handed to Mr. Qi Gong for comments, Qi Gong was still quite surprised, these two modern poems are still very good, especially for a generation, and they are even more far-reaching, and it is rare to be young.

Qi Gong simply wrote both poems, and that guy Li Dongxin said, it's okay now, but when Qi Gong said that he wanted to write Li Dong's name. That's not good, Li Dong was finally so modest that Mr. Qigong gave up writing his name.

There's no way, it's a pity that I don't have a pen name, otherwise, forget it, don't do those things. Seeing that the old gentleman still has something to do, Li Dong is still quite understanding, relatives, you can't finish it all at once, come back next time it is published.

"Sir, you're a mess here, I'll clean it up for you. ”

Although he is leaving, Li Dong is kind-hearted, this study is messy, look at it, these manuscripts are too messy, and there are paintings, really, it is inevitable that you will lose energy when you are old.

Young people should help the old people more, Li Dong very quickly sorted out some waste manuscripts, calligraphy and paintings in the study, and some unwanted things were taken out by the way to help the old gentleman take them out and throw them away.

No way, the heart is so good, Li Dong packed up and left.

"Don't let this kid in next time. ”

Li Dong didn't know that he had already been on the Qigong blacklist, and he returned to the small courtyard in a hurry, and the good guy had three words, two paintings, and all kinds of waste words in addition to his own words. "When will I help Mr. clean up the study? ”

Really, this person is uncomfortable if he doesn't exercise, Li Dong tidied up the calligraphy and paintings, turned around and brought them back, just put this thing in a box, will the old man Qigong be moved, recognize his New Year's friend.

Eighty percent of the meeting, I was moved, Li Dongxin said.

At noon, Huang Shengnan looked for him, Liu Sijun had prepared the contract, this time it was quite formal, Mary and George also arrived, and Liu Boru and Huang Shengnan's young grandmother, Ms. Zhou Li, also came.

Signing a tripartite contract, Li Dong only needs to provide the goods, of course, the foreign trade company is not in vain, the entire cost is calculated, three dollars a basket finally goes to Li Dong's hands two dollars and forty cents.

This is the cost required, Li Dong only needs to transport the basket to the dock and hand it over to the branch of Chicheng, and Li Dong doesn't have to worry about other things at all, and it is twenty percent, Li Dongxin said that fortunately, he offered a high price.

The handbag sells for about three times the price, which is not bad.

Mary and George paid a deposit of three hundred dollars, and the matter was settled, and now there is a contract, but it is really hard to say what the legal effect of this contract is. Seeing that money is a good thing, Li Dong followed and had a lunch.

Xinqiao Restaurant, Li Dong muttered in his heart, it's open, it's early or late, forget it, eat, it's okay.

"Going to stay?"

After eating, Li Dong and Huang Shengnan went out for a walk, what, the relationship between the two was much closer this time, but they didn't pick up the layer of window paper too much.

"My mom wanted me to stay. ”

Huang Shengnan sighed, in fact, she really didn't want to stay in Beijing, she always felt that this place was not suitable for her. "I haven't thought about it yet. ”

"Trust your choice. ”

Li Dong said with a smile. "Whatever the choice, I'm with you. ”

"Thank you. ”

"The key gives you one. ”

Li Dong handed the key to the courtyard to Huang Shengnan. "I'm going to go back to Chicheng in two days, the manuscript has been proofread, and I'm going to go back to Chicheng when the first edition is published. ”

"I'll send you off. ”

Huang Shengnan's side is not quite sure.

The publication of Red Sorghum is still going very smoothly, and the March issue of People's Literature published this article with more than 100,000 words, and Li Dong got ten sample magazines, and there are still a few days to wait for the release, but it is a pity that Li Dong has no time to wait here.

Alas, Xiaojuan's mother, I have to go to see her, I am really capable, I ran back to Beijing to help the relationship, Xiaojuan's mother's surname is Zhang, and her name is Hongxia.

Now working in a friendship store, Li Dong simply came with Huang Shengnan. "Just bought something to take home. "The friendship store, everything in it is in demand, Li Dong borrowed some foreign exchange coupons and haven't used them up yet.

Just went in and walked around, there was nothing good, Li Dong swept it over, it was better to visit Taobao stores in the future life, Pinduoduo, peanut butter, chocolate, what is this thing.

TV, don't make a fuss, I have my own video recorder, I brought my own camera, don't talk about these cameras or something, it's nothing.

"Nothing good. ”

It's not that I don't buy it, it's that you don't have any good products in your store.

"Sister Hongxia. ”

"Katsuo, you're back. ”

It's quite plump, with a good figure, quite tall, Xiaojuan's mother is okay, Li Dongxin said.

As soon as Huang Shengnan and Zhang Hongxia talked about the relationship between Li Dong and Xiaojuan, Zhang Hongxia was a little stunned. "Is Xiaojuan okay?"

"It's good. ”

Li Dong said with a smile, in fact, he understood Zhang Hongxia in his heart, thinking that a Beijing girl could marry an old farmer in a mountainous area, if it weren't for the turmoil in those years, this huge class barrier would not be easy to break, and it was almost impossible.

Besides, seeing that Zhang Hongxia can find a job in the friendship store, this family background can be poor, alas, Xiaojuan's father should learn from other people, and let Zhang Hongxia's family arrange a job in the city and build a house, how good.

Divorced, I'm afraid I can't find a daughter-in-law when I have a job house, and those powerful people didn't do it back then.

"Wait. ”

Li Dong told Xiaojuan about the situation and planned to leave, there was nothing good in the friendship store.

Zhang Hongxia wrapped chocolates, and some meat jars and the like.

"No, no, there is no place for these many at home. ”

Li Dong opened his mouth to say a word, but Zhang Hongxia was stunned. "Does Chocolate Pool City have one?"

"It's not very common in Chicheng. ”

"The main thing is that I have a lot at home, no way, the readers send it, eat it at home, drink some, don't worry. ”

Zhang Hongxia was suddenly a little worried about Xiaojuan, and pulled Huang Shengnan to inquire about Li Dong.

"Really, Sister Hongxia. ”

Writer, don't worry about food and clothing, and also bought a house in Beijing, this is a bit unreal, what kind of new father is Xiaojuan looking for.
