Chapter 321 mua~
Ying Chanxi didn’t know how long she held her.
It wasn't until the sound of the door being opened was heard outside. After Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong came back from shopping for groceries, Ying Chanxi hurriedly let go of Li Luo. His face was flushed with embarrassment, his ears were hot, and he lowered his head, not daring to Look up at him.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Li Luo coughed twice, opened the door to the bedroom, walked toward the bathroom, and adjusted his waistband.
And Ying Chanxi also nodded and whispered: "I'm going to help Aunt Lin cook."
After saying that, she hurriedly opened the bedroom door and trotted out.
On the way to the kitchen, I temporarily went into the bathroom in the corridor and washed my face with cold water. After looking in the mirror to make sure I couldn’t see the blush on my face, I pursed my lips. He suppressed the excitement at the corner of his mouth.
But in this way, when Ying Chanxi came to the door of the kitchen, Yan Zhusheng had already followed Lin Xiuhong into the kitchen obediently and put on an apron.
After studying in a seven-person study group during the summer vacation, Yan Zhusheng took the time to learn a lot of kitchen knowledge from Lin Xiuhong, who came to cook every day.
So now that we have started, it has reached a level where it can be used.
Although he is not as handy as Ying Chanxi, he is no longer a kitchen novice like Xu Youyu.
When Ying Chanxi saw this scene, he pursed his lips immediately.
Yan Zhusheng noticed Yingchan Creek and said, "Xixi, go and have a rest. There are washed fruits on the table that we picked at the farmhouse in the morning. They are very fresh."
"It's okay." Ying Chanxi smiled slightly when he saw this scene, and then turned around and returned to the bedroom.
After a while, Yan Zhusheng felt that there was an extra person in the kitchen.
When I turned around, I found that Ying Chanxi was wearing a newly bought apron and joined the kitchen team.
"Just let Aunt Lin take care of the cooking. Just leave the food preparation to me and Zhusheng." Ying Chanxi inserted himself between Lin Xiuhong and Yan Zhusheng, smoothly took over the kitchen knife and chopping board, and then asked, "Lin Auntie, what are you going to do tonight?"
"It's all your favorites, Coke chicken wings, tomato scrambled eggs..."
"Yeah, I know." Ying Chan. As soon as Xi heard the name of the dish, she knew how to prepare it. She quickly started chopping the vegetables and ordered Yan Zhusheng to wash, pickle and plate them.
With two cute and capable little girls helping her, it was rare for Lin Xiuhong to feel that cooking could be so enjoyable.
to be honest.
If when it comes to cooking, you can only do the cooking step, and other steps can be omitted, I believe that many more people will fall in love with cooking.
When cooking a meal, almost 90% of the time is spent on preparing the ingredients, handling the ingredients, and washing dishes and cleaning after the meal.
Simple cooking and eating do not take up much time.
Now that two little girls are helping her, taking care of all these tedious steps, Lin Xiuhong even feels free all of a sudden.
Stand in front of the pot to see how they are cooking, and occasionally give instructions. When the dishes are ready, they will bring them over and put them in the pot.
After using the bathroom, Li Luo walked out of the bedroom and saw the scene in the kitchen. He immediately raised his eyebrows, then smiled, helped his mother take out the fried dishes, and put them away. to the table.
At this time, Li Guohong was crossing his legs and watching TV happily on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing that he couldn't help but take out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, Li Luo stepped forward and said, "Dad, if you don't want to be scolded by mom, you'd better go to the balcony or the corridor outside to smoke."
"I didn't want to smoke in the first place." Li Guohong rolled his eyes at him, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, "Just smell it."
This is where Li Luo and his children study. Lin Xiuhong has long banned him from smoking in the living room. Naturally, Li Guohong does not dare to smoke here.
Even if you are addicted to smoking, you still have to smell the smell of tobacco to satisfy your craving.
“Your mother won’t let me smoke when I’m in the office.” Li Guohong sighed, “To have a cigarette, I have to go outside in the sun. It’s really miserable.”
"Dad, if you have a chance, try to quit smoking." Li Luo glanced at him and then said, "Our family will not be short of money in the future. You can find some hobbies and cultivate them, and there is no need to borrow cigarettes or alcohol. My worries are gone.”
Although Li Guohong did not suffer from any serious illness in his previous life, Lin Xiuhong became seriously ill.
But smoking is still very harmful to the body.
And the root cause of Lin Xiuhong's serious illness may also be caused by smelling second-hand smoke every day and subtle changes over time.
However, we can only talk about quitting smoking. The key lies in the individual. Li Luo doesn’t expect his father to quit with just one or two words.
Fortunately, the conditions at home are good now, and my parents no longer have to work early in the morning or late at night. My mother asked my father to smoke in a place where no one was around, and my father was still willing to listen.
With the family conditions and environment in his previous life, if Li Guohong was in a bad mood, he might just smoke in the living room.
Lin Xiuhong was unhappy. If she just said a few words, the two of them would quarrel over such a trivial matter.
So, although money is not everything.
But sometimes, it is such subtle differences that lead to huge changes in a family little by little.
Seeing this, Li Luo also smiled knowingly. After chatting with his father for a few more words, he brought a plate of fruit and came to the door of Xu Youyu's room and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
“Me.”
“Come in directly.”
“Here it comes.”
Li Luo opened the door and saw Xu Youyu sitting attentively at the computer desk, typing on the keyboard. It seemed that his coding status today was pretty good.
He put the fruit on the table and then said: "My parents are here today and we will have dinner together tonight."
"Oh." Xu Youyu nodded, then opened his mouth and said, "Feed me some."
"Which one?"
"Banana."
Li Luopei He opened a banana, stuffed it into Xu Youyu's mouth, and she bit it.
"Why are you so diligent today?"
"Oh, when am I not diligent?" Xu Youyu took a bite of the banana in Li Luo's hand with dissatisfaction, "Don't look down on others."< br>
“We published the book at about the same time.” Li Luo laughed and said, “Now I have 2.4 million words, what about you?”
“Huh.” Li Luo heard this When the word count was mentioned, Xu Youyu's arrogance was immediately extinguished and he muttered in a low voice, "It's only about 800,000 more than me."
"I currently have 300,000 words in my manuscript." Li Luo was precise. Last hit, "So there should actually be a gap of more than one million words."
"Damn! Shut up!" Xu Youyu jumped up from his chair and hit him, "I'm usually very busy too. Well, I don’t know how you wrote so much.”
The two people were having a fight in the room.
"Speaking of which." Xu Youyu sat back on his chair with a gasp, and asked Li Luo, "You have written more than two million words in this book. At this rate, in three or four months, wouldn't it be enough? It’s going to be more than 3 million words?”
“I have nearly 1.6 million words now. I feel that if I write more than 1 million words, I will be able to finish it. I will try to finish it before the college entrance examination. "
"How long do you plan to write this for?"
"Me?" Li Luo leaned against the wall, crossing his arms, "I don't know, just keep writing as long as I can. Just write.”
For Xu Youyu, besides being fun and making money, writing online articles probably still has a little bit of the pursuit of a literary youth.
Pursue something of certain content and value.
But for Li Luo, he does not pursue this thing.
He writes novels purely to make money, and to have fun writing some interesting plots. It is enough for him to be happy when he writes and for readers to read interestingly.
To be honest, he had already learned a lot about the art of pretending and slapping people in the face in entertainment in his previous life.
I have a memory palace in this life, and I use it with great proficiency.
But when I have enough deconstructive perspectives on the coolness in my mind, when I write this kind of plot, I can no longer bring him that kind of coolness.
On the contrary, after writing a pretentious plot, it becomes a kind of fun to guess and predict the readers' reaction to the plot.
And the longer and more you write, the more the author will have a certain intuition.
After a certain plot is written, it is basically possible to accurately predict the reader's reaction.
You can even specially design sections to arouse readers' emotions for this purpose.
However, apart from these, for Li Luo now, the greatest pleasure in writing the book "I'm Really Not a Star" is obviously the emotional entanglement and ambiguity between the male protagonist and the three female protagonists.
Whenever he writes about relevant content, he always bursts out with more passion than writing pretentious plots.
Coupled with the constant supply of material around him in reality, it made him even more comfortable writing.
I can only say that creation cannot be like a tree without roots. It must be accumulated in order to produce a steady stream of output.
"Is it possible that you can keep writing? There will always be an ending." Xu Youyu looked confused.
“Aren’t you following the reading?” Li Luo laughed and said, “Although it already has more than two million words, the number of works produced by the protagonist is actually not particularly large.”
"In terms of music, Mo Qinghan has two albums, the second one is still in progress, and the protagonist's solo album has also been laid."
"In terms of TV series, Jiang Mingyue started the first one, and then There are two films about Shen Dongdong, one for the supporting role and one for the heroine."
"After that, Jiang Mingyue entered the film industry and just filmed the first one."
"Participated in two. This is a variety show, and there will be a plot of the protagonist's own variety show in the follow-up."
Li Luo said, "This is the advantage of the fictional background of entertainment, it will not be bound by the real timeline, and each will be different. All kinds of works can be used directly. "Music, TV series, movies, variety shows, walking on four legs, the progress of the plot is actually very slow."
"You see it is already 240. It’s 10,000 words, but in fact, on average, each part is only 600,000 words long.”
“In addition, there are daily interactions with the three female protagonists, so the main content needs to be at least less. One third.”
"If you really want to write, you may not be able to write five to six million words."
After hearing this, Xu Youyu suddenly fell silent, and then the corner of his mouth twitched: "You are really good at writing."
If it were Xu Youyu himself, he would definitely not be able to accept the length of his novel.
All content must be based on the complete framework of the novel's plot.
Before starting the book, Xu Youyu will think about the beginning and end of the plot, making sure there is a beginning and an end, and then he will start to build the entire main line framework.
Only after deciding what content to write can the actual work begin.
Li Luo would definitely not be able to write something like this without considering where to end it.
"Then tell me, after I finish this book, what type of book should I write next?" Xu Youyu sat cross-legged on a chair, frowning and said, "I feel like writing this book is about entertainment. That’s enough. I’m afraid I’ll vomit if I write another book.”
“You have to ask yourself,” Li Luo said, “Do you have any topics you want to write about?”
< br>"How about the apocalyptic theme?" Xu Youyu chuckled, "I quite like watching this genre, but recently the apocalyptic themes have become a bit cliche, and it's not interesting to watch."
"Do you have any new ideas?" Li Luo asked with raised eyebrows, remembering the second book written by Xu Youyu in his previous life.
“I don’t really want to write about the feeling of sudden huge changes, and then the whole society completely collapses due to the arrival of the apocalypse.” Xu Youyu frowned and said, “I would rather write about the kind of situation that the apocalypse brings quietly. Changes begin to affect reality bit by bit, and then affect and even challenge the existing order and rules."
"This kind of change does not need to be as drastic as ordinary apocalyptic novels."
“But there must be a gradual and gradual adaptation process until a new pattern and order is finally formed.”
Hearing this, Li Luo immediately said in a persuasive manner: “Then why do you have to Is it a post-apocalyptic story? Elements like zombies and viruses are actually spread from the culture of the United States. "
"I think you want to achieve the effect you said. Zombie apocalypse is not at all. Necessary things.”
“We have five thousand years of culture, don’t we have a lot of gods and demons to write about?”
“That’s true,” Xu Youyu thought for a while. , "But this kind of change that is similar to the great change of the apocalypse, that is, the transformation of things like zombie viruses to our own side, what does it correspond to?"
"Isn't it just aura." Li Luo He said seemingly casually, "Zombie viruses can change the human body, and spiritual energy can also change the human body."
"But one is good and the other is bad." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "How can you make such a comparison."
"But if you want to write about the kind of progressive changes where the order is challenged and modified, isn't Reiki a very good choice?" Li Luo said with a smile, "Moreover, an ordinary person who suddenly masters Reiki spells and has normal sanity People are not necessarily any kinder than zombies.”
“Zombies eating people seems cruel.”
“People eating people is even more cruel.”
Hearing these words, Xu Youyu seemed to be suddenly opened to some kind of barrier, and his eyes lit up: "So what you mean is that the spiritual energy will suddenly appear like a zombie virus, and then everyone will come from the same place." Start from the starting point and use spiritual energy to practice?”
“Isn’t your idea very good?” Li Luo said with a smile, “And with so many myths and legends in ancient times, you can definitely set it to be full of spiritual energy in ancient times. But in modern times, the spiritual energy disappeared and many miracles disappeared."
"Until one day, people living in modern cities accidentally discovered that the world seemed to be a little different."< br>
“The wild nature of the wild beasts in the mountains was aroused, and even the domesticated animals in the zoo became restless under the nourishment and stimulation of the spiritual energy.”
“Once disappeared. The aura of heaven and earth suddenly began to gradually recover, and the sky reappeared."
"Okay!" Xu Youyu's eyes glowed, he jumped up from the chair, and slapped Li Luo on the shoulder, "That's it. This! You touched my heart right now!”
In fact, similar settings have appeared in some novels.
It's just that "Revival of Spiritual Energy" as a genre will be well-known to readers. It will probably have to wait until the end of next year, when a certain red-haired monster's "Holy Ruins" is released, completely labeling this setting as "Revival of Spiritual Energy" , has become a specific subject matter for online articles.
What’s interesting is that in the last life, Xu Youyu’s second book "Gu Dao Evergreen" was only more than a month later than "The Holy Ruins".
Catching the first wave of "revival of spiritual energy" laid a solid foundation for her to become a great god.
Seeing Xu Youyu's sudden realization, Li Luo couldn't help but laugh. He never thought that one day he would become Xu Youyu's online writing predecessor in a sense.
But just when Li Luo was feeling a little secretly, he was suddenly hugged by Xu Youyu and kissed him on the face excitedly.
"mua~"
"Oh no..."
Li Luo was hugged by her hands, squeezed her chest, and kissed her lips, a series of silky moves Smoothly, the whole person was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive.
But Xu Youyu had let go of him and took two steps back. He put his hands behind his back and said with a blushing smile: "I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited. Hehe, just think of it as thanking you."
At this time.
Ying Chanxi's voice happened to sound outside the door.
“Senior, Li Luo, it’s time for dinner.”
“Come on, come on~” Xu Youyu immediately opened the door, walked out happily with brisk steps. , when passing by Yingchan River, he didn't forget to pinch her cheek.
"What are you doing?" When Ying Chanxi saw that Li Luo hadn't come out yet, he couldn't help but glanced inside the room in confusion and found Li Luo leaning against the wall, as if he had just recovered.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Li Luo shook his head, “I brought her a plate of fruit and we chatted for a while.”
“Then go wash your hands and get ready. It’s time to eat.”
“Yes, here it is.”
A few minutes later.
A family of six sat around the dining table, facing a table full of dishes. After Li Guohong took the lead in using chopsticks, everyone stretched out their chopsticks to taste the delicious food.
At the dinner table, Lin Xiuhong looked at the three cute and well-behaved girls in front of her with a smile, and picked up dishes for them at every turn.
During this half-month of summer study, Lin Xiuhong came over every day to cook for them, and she had basically learned all their favorite dishes.
When picking up food, they are also very purposeful, giving them their favorite food.
Ying Chanxi and others thanked Aunt Lin one by one. Lin Xiuhong felt even more comfortable and smiled even more on her face.
And just when everyone was enjoying their meal, Li Guohong received a call.
After a few brief words, Li Guohong raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Okay, no problem, I'm free, then see you the day after tomorrow? Okay, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Li Guohong looked strange, then made another call and went out. After chatting with the person on the other side for a while, he hung up the phone again.
He glanced at Li Luo, and then said: "The landlord of that hot pot restaurant seems to want to sell it again."
"Really?" Li Luo said in surprise, "He did it before Didn’t he say he wouldn’t sell it?”
“I said he wouldn’t sell it before because he had information about the subway, but...” Li Guohong continued, “I asked the agent again, that Li Angang. He said that the recent subway plan only planned a new subway for Line 7, not for our Yinjiang District."
"Oh..." Li Luo nodded clearly.
As a native of Yinjiang who grew up in Yinjiang District, Li Luo didn't know much about the subway conditions of other lines in Yuhang City, so he didn't know when those subway approvals were approved.
But this subway in Yinjiang District left a deep impression on Li Luo.
Because later when Li Luo talked to his parents about the 600,000 to 700,000 yuan that his family had been stuck with, he mentioned that when he heard that the subway would be extended, he regretted not buying it. That's the house at my grandpa's house.
But by that time, Third Grandpa had already sold the house to someone else.
Li Luo remembers very clearly that the subway extension plan in Yinjiang District will not be officially approved until September this year.
Thinking of this, Li Luo's expression became strange: "Is this landlord really going to sell it?"
"It's probably true this time." Li Guohong nodded, and then He smacked it and said, "Do you think we still want to buy it? I think a few shops are enough now."
"Especially, I heard Li Angang say that the owner of his hot pot restaurant seems to have decided to cancel the lease. "
"It's just that the things in the store are still being processed, so the hot pot restaurant brand is still there."
"No one is renting such a big store, and it takes less than a month. It’s a lot of rent.”
"Buy it." Li Luo said with a smile, "Otherwise, I will just keep the royalties, so why not make a safe investment."
"Okay, it's up to you. I'll have a chat the day after tomorrow." When Li Guohong heard what Li Luo said, he nodded naturally.
Little did he know that he didn't even notice it himself.
Nowadays, when it comes to such family issues and similar major decisions, the final choice has completely fallen on Li Luo.
Next to her, Lin Xiuhong didn’t think there was any problem at all. Since their son said so, they just followed it.
After briefly finalizing the charter, Lin Xiuhong started talking about going to Changning City next month.
Xu Youyu, who was eating quietly, was still thinking about the topic of spiritual energy recovery that Li Luo had just awakened in his bedroom, and his mind was filled with all kinds of inspirations that were constantly emerging.
It wasn't until Lin Xiuhong suddenly mentioned that she was going to Changning City for a trip next month that Xu Youyu realized something belatedly and couldn't help but ask more: "Auntie, what are you going to do next month? When are you going to Changning?”
“It’s August 15th. Let’s go there for two days.”
Hearing this, Xu Youyu’s eyes widened and he almost came. Not a mouthful of rice came out.
