Chapter 429 A went up
The decoration in the house seems to be similar to a few years ago.
But Gu Lu’s memory is not that good, it’s just a feeling.
"Don't you want to eat hot pot? Come on, I'll treat you to it." Gu Lu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his mouth was faster than his brain.
“We just had hot pot yesterday.” Zhou Lin shook her head, “Eating hot pot every day will make you angry, so drink this.”
As she spoke, Zhou Lin took out a can of Wanglaoji from the refrigerator and handed it to Gu Lu.
The strange girl has a habit of buying a lot of snacks and drinks. It would be better if the refrigerator is filled with ingredients. In her words, just watching it is very satisfying.
However, I am only here for a few days during the National Day, so there are few things in the refrigerator.
A set of actions also means that Zhou Lin's mood has eased. People with good psychological adjustment skills are not easy to comfort.
Crying children have milk to drink, which makes sense in a sense. It seems that now, after Zhou Lin handed Gu Lu a drink, she went to the bathroom and reappeared two or three minutes later. Except that she was wearing no makeup (she usually wore light makeup), she could not see any depression.
At this time, Gu Lu wanted to say words of comfort again, but it seemed... too late.
"The main thing is that there is nothing that cannot be solved by a hot pot meal. If so, just two meals." Gu Lu said, "As long as there is nothing to do, have a good rest today and go back to Sijiu City tomorrow."
“No problem!” Zhou Lin agreed immediately.
The two of them were talking and laughing, chatting about a lot of things.
Gu Lu knew that he should ask the other party directly at this moment. But he doesn't know if this is good or bad...
He always had too many thoughts. This was the case before and it is still the case now.
Not long after, the takeaway arrived.
Gu Lu stayed for a while longer, until beautiful fire clouds appeared outside the window. I still remember when I was in elementary school, there was a text called "Huo Shaoyun". It is written by Xiao Hong, the author of "The Biography of Hulan River". There are indeed many works by famous people selected in primary and secondary schools, and Gu Lu's articles were also selected. Rounding off, Gu Lu is equal to a famous artist.
It's time to say goodbye. Gu Lu walked to the door and suddenly stopped. He patted his head, as if he thought of something.
“I encountered something that was quite difficult to make a choice.” Gu Lu said, “My parents—you should know what my relationship with them is like, right?”
"Yeah, I know," Zhou Lin nodded. She should be the peer who knows the second best about Gu Lu's family. She knows the most about glutinous rice balls, mainly about gender issues.
Between brothers, it is easier to let go of some baggage.
"The irresponsible father wants me to provide pension money. And the irresponsible mother wants my help." Gu Lu said, "What do you think I should do?"
"Well...although this is your family matter, Gulu, since you asked me, I will also say a few words from my standpoint." When Zhou Lin spoke, she reached out and found a rubber band from the seam of the sofa. , tie your hair well.
She said, "My personal position is not to give it. Do they deserve it? But it's not good not to file a lawsuit. Just give it according to the minimum alimony standard. What is the minimum alimony in Wudu? ?”
Gu Lu couldn't stand at the door, so he sat on the sofa again.
“Family relationships in East Asia are heavily influenced by Confucian culture and require harmony. Even if there is any grievance, one party must swallow it.” Zhou Lin said, “Children do not need to forgive their parents. In the same way, If the child is not filial, the parents do not need to forgive the child. That’s my opinion. Basic alimony and staying away as much as possible. This is my suggestion.”
Zhou Lin’s psychology is really strong. Generally speaking, when she gets involved in other people’s family affairs, she either tries to make peace with him or not. It was an ambiguous enlightenment, as if she said straightforwardly that she would not forgive, it was very good.
Actually speaking, Zhou Lin not only said this, she also did it herself.
“It’s similar to what I think.” Gu Lu said, “Maybe rather than seeking advice, I would rather hear opinions similar to mine from other people’s mouths.”
"Be sure!" Zhou Lin concluded.
"Yes, that's right." Gu Lu nodded, and he suddenly changed the subject, "Maybe Grandma Qin's matter is your family matter, and you didn't ask me, but I still don't want to see you stuck in the past. The deceased does not want us to forget the past, and life must always look forward."
"..." Zhou Lin hesitated for a long time. After a few seconds, the smile on her face changed from cheerful to stiff. Finally, go deep into your eyes.
“Gulu,” Zhou Lin shouted.
“Eh?” Gu Lu said.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't honest just now. I didn't go to the airport this afternoon. It's not because I forgot. I wanted to make some rice noodles for myself at noon, but the taste was nothing like grandma's." Zhou Lin's voice was trembling. .
Grandma Zhou Lin came to Sichuan and Chongqing by marriage from Dayong, and Hezha is also a famous dish of the ethnic minorities there.
It seems that he understood it wrong. Gu Lu said nothing, waiting to hear Zhou Lin's follow-up.
“After my parents divorced, I have been living with my grandma. As for my dad, he would only pay more attention to me if I achieved excellent results. This is something I discovered after I graduated from the third grade of junior high school. Yes." Zhou Lin said.
No wonder her grades in junior high school were only in the top 30 of her grade. It turned out that she really didn't work hard.
"But I didn't feel unhappy at all when I was a child. With my grandma, I felt that I had a very good childhood." Zhou Lin said, "Although my grandma passed away, I think she has always lived in my heart. I I think I will always remember my grandma."
"But I forgot, I found that I forgot." Zhou Lin said the word "forget" very hard, as if she wanted to use these two words to smash it. own feelings.
“In the first one or two years, I remembered everything about my grandma, her appearance, and what she often said. When I returned home, I seemed to be able to see what my grandma looked like before.” Zhou Lin said, “But... After I left Wudu to go to school in other places, I couldn’t remember it anymore. I felt better. It’s like I’m about to forget my grandma. I can’t remember the tone of my grandma’s words.”
“It’s not that I can’t forget it, but I’m afraid that I will completely forget the grandma who grew up with me.” When he said this, his emotions were not tense, his voice was trembling, and his tears were like broken silver beads.
Afraid of forgetting - Gu Lu's heart trembled. He understood why he had only tasted the comfort for the first time, and why Zhou Lin's expression was complicated and filled with shame.
But soon, Zhou Lin was halfway through crying, and her emotions suddenly stopped like a flood. It was as if someone had suddenly muted the TV, which was very abrupt.
Why is this? Because after her grandmother died, Zhou Lin, who was still a high school student, understood that crying could not solve any problems.
"If you are afraid that you will forget, then write it down." Gu Lu said, "Write down all your longing and reluctance. Turn your emotions into words."
"This The method is very useful," Gu Lu said, "when you are recording. , the brain's memory will be better, and many things that can't be remembered on ordinary days will be dug out to fill in the details. Write it down, don't show it to others, just write it to grandma in heaven."
Zhou Lin didn't. As she spoke, she seemed to be considering the feasibility of this approach.
"Hey, I will still harm you, so just try this." Gu Lu said. "Anyway, there are no side effects."
"Hehe, no." Zhou Lin suddenly burst into tears and smiled, "Okay, I'll try it later."
"Let's go, then. Second hot pot meal." Gu Lu walked to the door again, but this time he went out with the strange girl. Book a flight for tomorrow.
Although I have to stay in Fog City for one more day, I might as well forget about the invitation from Fog City Publishing House.
The next day, Gu Lu and Zhou Lin returned to Sijiu City. It’s hard to get high-speed rail tickets during holidays, but air tickets are actually not bad.
After returning, Zhou Lin was also busy. As the first Asian Secretary-General of the Model United Nations, Zhou Lin had to accept an exclusive interview with Youth Daily.
"It's really awesome. I have a cheat. Talents like Zhou Lin and Li Guyuan are truly awesome. Well, that's good. If the country has you in the future, I can feel at ease even if I mess up." Gu Lu thought to himself.
The main reason why Gu Lu didn't fly directly to Heshi was because of something. The announcement plan for the new work has been released and he wants to sign it.
Sign 100 copies, and then find a representative to sign and print and sign 2,000 copies.
The signature is to print the signature on the title page. Although it seems useless, the price will increase by at least 10 yuan if you buy it with such a signature.
Of course, these books are used for activities.
Recently, the People's Publishing House of Shanghai has often worked overtime, and the reason is Gu Lu.
“The only real god in the publishing industry is currently a best-seller with a sales volume of 20,000 copies. But Teacher Gu Lu, first printed 500,000 copies. I am really...a writer who dares to first print 500,000 copies now. How many can there be?”
6◇9◇书◇
"You can count them with one hand."
"That's an exaggeration. You can obviously count them with one hand."
The Que's Nobel Prize winner is preparing for the publishing house's new book "Late Bloomer" next year. "The Man", the first work after the Nobel Prize, has an initial printing of only about 200,000 copies.
Why is it said that Gu Lu is the ceiling of best-sellers? That's it.
The two cows and horses in the publishing house were chatting. They spent money to buy "grass" at noon, and they had to continue working in the afternoon and evening, so they had to eat enough.
To be honest, even though Gu Lu was very busy, they were relatively happy. Because the publishing house has such an anchor, the year-end bonus numbers are also pretty good.
The editor who was eating chicken suddenly said, "Dangdang.com's "Four Famous Catchers" has stopped updating. It has not been updated for two days. It is said that the manuscripts have been exhausted. The next article "The Great Duel" will have to wait for a while. Time."
The editor who was eating pork was surprised, "Are you reading? Do you see it? I heard it’s Gu Long’s style? I’ve only heard of people who succeeded in imitating Jin Yong, but is there anyone who can really imitate Gu Long?”
The names of the two are too good. When it gets older, let’s use chicken editor and pig editor as pronouns. Anyway, it fits the identity of cow and horse.
"The relationship between Gu Lu and Gu Long... should be the relationship between Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng. They have their own style." Editor Ji immediately took out his mobile phone and downloaded the Dangdang APP.
"Even if it's funny, it has a very magical style." Editor Ji gave an example.
［What’s your name? Ruthless is such a kind name. ]
[Carrying you (cold-blooded) is like carrying a hunting dog, awesome! ]
Chief Editor said: "To be honest, most of the current martial arts, including the Douban essays, are hardly martial arts, but the taste of the Four Famous Catchers is really strong. Even I think he is verbose, but it is definitely The most martial arts-like novel in recent years."
Then Editor Ji added two sentences that he particularly liked: "If you don't know how to let go, you will become a trapped beast." ] [Actually, I regret leaving home too early. I didn’t understand the good things about home when I was a child. ]
The latter sentence is because the character who said this line is too conflicting.
“If you say that, then I really want to take a look.” Editor Zhu said, “I feel like whatever he writes will be successful.”
The two were talking and laughing.
"Hey, I actually prefer novels like "Urban Heart-Stealing Dragon Claw Hand". I wonder if Teacher Gu Lu will..." Editor Ji was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"What are you talking about! Teacher Gu is a serious person, how could he write this kind of thing. Send me this kind of thing quickly, and I will review it." Editor Zhu said.
Readers who know about the mind-stealing dragon's claws are all a bit older, like these two editors. The novel comes from Cuiweiju, the earliest novel website established at the time. Later it was transformed into an H-text website, and it was this website that started things like adding groups to the unabridged version. It was shut down in 2014.
On the other side, the discontinued update of "Four Famous Catchers"...
"Red lips and white teeth insult people's innocence. What is the discontinued update? It is obviously a temporary adjustment." There is no way, these few days Rigulu is too busy.
Just like he is in a meeting now, it is important to know that Gu Lu will reject everything he can reject, and what he cannot reject... is more important.
"By the way, did I miss something?" Gu Lu, who was distracted at the meeting, suddenly realized.
He muttered, "I missed it, I missed it."
"Teacher Gu, what have you missed if you keep thinking about missing?"
"Maybe it's because of missing some inspiration. For publishing two full-length novels (about 200,000 words) in one year, and Many short story writers must have creative inspiration every day."
"One. Can you help me get an autograph? Or help me with recommendations. Teacher Gu Lu’s works in People’s Literature have given me great inspiration.”
Other writers who attended the meeting came back for Gu Luyuan. Even though he is older than Gu Lu, the latter has now entered the stage of "having his own great scholar argue for me".
Moreover, Aimee's short stories were praised by the country's leading literary critic, and there are already people who want to imitate them.
Amidst the praise, time is passing...
The release date of "From the New World" has arrived.
Dangdang.com and China Pictures.com have put up promotional banners. Of course, Pinxixi, Goudong, and Taobao also have channels, but the brand of Modu People's Publishing House is not strong enough for the latter three to vigorously promote it.
And Gu Lu’s signature——it seems to be a little bit lacking.
It doesn't matter.
The slogan put out by the People’s Publishing House of Modou is: The year-end masterpiece of 2019 is presented by Gu Lu!
I don’t know if the slogan was written by a friend from Shandong Province. It is in an inverted sentence format.
Xinhua Bookstore, Sanlian Bookstore, Sisyphus Bookstore and other chain brands have posted posters in their stores.
The Sisyphus Bookstore, which has close cooperation with it, even has bookmarks as gifts.
It quickly spread online and offline.
"Old Yu, Xiao Gu's book is a popular novel, so don't judge it by the standards of serious novels." President Jian said to Yu Xinyao. He was really afraid that Yu Xinyao would be happy but come back disappointed, and he would write the review feeling disappointed.
