Chapter 240 This novel makes me angrier the more I read it

After washing up in the morning, Ying Chanxi got dressed and ran next door to have breakfast. Then the two families set out together to the wholesale market in the suburbs to buy New Year's goods.

Because the things you buy may be quite a lot and cannot fit in the trunk of a car.

So Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng each drove their own cars.

But just as Ying Zhicheng drove his Audi out of the garage and parked it downstairs next to Li Guohong's shabby car, Ying Zhicheng watched helplessly as three passengers got into Li Guohong's car.

"Xixi, why don't you sit here?" Ying Zhicheng rolled down the window and couldn't help asking, "My side is more spacious."

"Dad, just focus on driving." Ying Chanxi followed Li Luo to the back seat, opened the car window and said to him, "I want to chat with Aunt Lin for a while."

"Okay." Ying Zhicheng sighed, then looked at the smiling Li Guohong and rolled his eyes, "Let's go, I'll drive in front."

"OK." Li Guohong made a gesture, and waited for Ying Zhicheng to drive out of the community first, and then he drove behind.

Compared to Ying Zhicheng's Audi, which he bought just two years ago, Li Guohong's car has been driven for seven or eight years.

During these seven or eight years, Ying Zhicheng has changed cars at least three times, but Li Guohong has been driving the same car until now.

The configuration of the car is obviously incomparable to Ying Zhicheng's Audi.

The rear seats are also nowhere near as comfortable as those in the Audi.

But Ying Chanxi still chose to sit in the car on this side, happily fastened his seat belt, and looked at Li Luo beside him.

At this time, Li Luo was looking at the Audi driving in front of his own car, feeling the performance of Li Guohong's car.

This seven or eight year old car can be regarded as an old horse of the Li family.

The engine noise, the bumps when starting and accelerating, the shaking when braking, the hard seats, and the squeaking sound when rolling down the windows.

All of this is saying one thing.

"dad."

"What's wrong?"

"Let's buy a new car after a while?" Li Luo suggested. "Look at how impressive Uncle Ying's car is."

"Change the car?" Li Guohong was tempted when he heard the topic, but when the words came to his lips, he smiled and shook his head, "Isn't this car still drivable? Why spend that money? I don't usually travel far."

"That's right." Lin Xiuhong also said, "It's better to do something else with that spare money. It would be great if the car can be driven."

Hearing his wife say this, Li Guohong also sighed.

But Li Luo said, "But our car has been driven for seven or eight years. It's not old and broken, but at least the engine and other parts are indeed aging. It will have some safety risks over time."

"Hey, hey, hey." Lin Xiuhong interrupted him immediately, turned her head and glared at him, "You're still driving, and you're saying such unlucky things. Hit yourself three times in the mouth, hurry up."

Li Luo: “…”

"Auntie Lin, let me do it." Ying Chanxi came to Li Luo's side, raised her little hand, and patted Li Luo's mouth three times, "Okay."

"Xixi is really sensible." Lin Xiuhong nodded with satisfaction. Then she thought about what Li Luo said and couldn't help but think of her son's amazing royalties. She was slightly shaken in her heart, "But what you said makes sense, and your..."

Halfway through her words, Lin Xiuhong suddenly realized that Ying Chanxi was also in the car, so she glanced at Li Luo and stopped talking.

Li Luo knew what his mother was going to say, so he took the initiative to say, "Xixi and Uncle Ying already know that I write novels, so we don't have to be shy about it anymore."

"Eh? Did you say that?" Lin Xiuhong raised her eyebrows, then looked at Ying Chanxi who was sitting behind her. Seeing her nod, she smiled and said, "Xixi, it's not that Auntie wants to hide this from you. It's that kid Li Luo who insisted on hiding it."

"Yeah, I know." Ying Chanxi said with a smile, "It's all his fault."

"Yes, it's all his fault." Lin Xiuhong said with a smile, and then changed the subject again, "Anyway, let's put the car purchase aside for now. Didn't you say you still need to consider the storefront? Keep the money for now. Good steel should be used where it's needed most."

"That's right." Li Luo nodded. "That's what I said. I'll definitely give priority to the store, then the car."

In Li Luo's impression, Li Guohong had been driving this car for eleven years.

It was not until he went to college that his car broke down completely after it scraped against someone on the roadside and crashed into a tree.

Li Guohong is fine, but just in case, it is better to buy a new car for my father as soon as possible.

Li Luo himself was not in a hurry, after all, a minor could not learn to drive.

After finally making some money, you must improve your family's conditions, and buying a new car should naturally be included in your plans.

He received a total of 37 yuan in royalties last month. If he had used the money to buy new cars of the brand that Li Guohong is driving now, he would probably have bought two or three at once.

Lin Xiuhong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, probably thought the same thing in her mind, and suddenly she was not so averse to buying a new car.

After all, money is a person's courage.

Earning three or four thousand yuan a month is one way of living, and earning thirty or forty thousand yuan a month is another way of living.

If you can make three or four hundred thousand a month, that would be a new step in the pursuit of quality of life.

However, Li Luo's current monthly income of several hundred thousand is not stable and sustainable enough, so whether it is Li Luo himself or Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong, their consumption habits remain at the previous level.

The wholesale market in the suburbs is about twenty minutes’ drive from Jincheng Community.

Li Guohong drove his car, following Ying Zhicheng's Audi all the way, and arrived here around nine o'clock in the morning.

This place is composed of several huge open sheds lined up side by side. Under the sheds are rows of merchants, gathering here with all kinds of New Year goods.

Under normal circumstances, these things can be bought in those supermarkets.

But because it is the Chinese New Year, there are more New Year goods to buy, so Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong will come to the wholesale market here to save as much as possible.

Once you arrive at the wholesale market for New Year goods, that’s Lin Xiuhong’s home turf.

She led the other four people with ease, moving between various sheds, asking prices while calling out to Li Luo and the others to get ready to pick up things.

Spring Festival couplets, window decorations, blessing characters...

Candies, nuts, fruits...

Tea, ham, glutinous rice balls, rice cakes, walnuts...

Lin Xiuhong knew all these things by heart. Not only had she already thought about what to prepare for her family during the New Year, but also what gifts to give to each household. She also thought about it for Ying Zhicheng, saving him a lot of effort.

Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng were the two big coolies, and Li Luo and Ying Chanxi were the two small coolies.

The two younger ones followed Lin Xiuhong and helped her carry the things she bought, while the two older ones quickly delivered the New Year's goods to the car and put them directly into the trunk.

Li Guohong borrowed a small cart from somewhere, and the few of them felt a lot more relaxed.

After sweeping the wholesale market for more than two hours, Lin Xiuhong finally stopped and the other four people also took a breath.

After getting back in the car, the two families of five returned home with a full load of harvest before noon.

Lin Xiuhong started cooking.

Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng chatted on the sofa in the living room.

Ying Chanxi obediently walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and helped Lin Xiuhong.

Li Luo stayed in the living room, listening to his father and Uncle Ying chatting, and occasionally interjecting a few words.

"Some of the subway drafts were approved during the public review, while others were not."

Ying Zhicheng remembered the topic he had talked about with Li Guohong before, so he mentioned it to him, "It's mainly because the subway lines in the two districts have been approved."

"One is in Xiaoshan District. Because it is a subway that goes directly to the airport, it passes very smoothly."

"But this line is very long and is divided into three phases. It will probably take another four or five years before it can be opened to the airport."

"The other is Binjiang District, which is considered a late-developing area in Yuhang City and is expected to be a key development area in the future."

“One subway line was planned two years ago, and two more lines were approved this year.”

"As for us..." Ying Zhicheng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "It hasn't been approved yet. I don't know how long we have to wait."

"Didn't they say before that it would most likely pass?" Li Guohong couldn't help but smoke a cigarette and asked Ying Zhicheng, "What exactly is going on?"

"There's no rush for that. After all, Yuhang City is developing very fast and is one of the most powerful second-tier cities." Ying Zhicheng said with a smile, "I guess it's only a matter of time."

"It's just that the airport in Xiaoshan District is relatively important."

"There are many emerging Internet companies in Binjiang District, and we need to consider them carefully." "The area west of Yinjiang District has a science and technology park, but the area east of it near Changning City is full of manufacturing and clothing industries, so it's normal that the planning is a little backward."

"What I heard is that the results will definitely come out this year."

"Even if we don't have as many lines as Binjiang District, at least the line from the South Station extends a few stations back, so there shouldn't be any problems. Just relax."

After hearing what Ying Zhicheng said, Li Guohong felt a little relieved.

After all, the down payment for the house in Bi Hai Lan Ting was made up of the savings that their family had accumulated over more than ten years.

It would be a huge loss if the subway fails in the end.

Seeing his expression, Ying Zhicheng immediately smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? This is a different time now."

"Before, I was worried about what you would do if the subway was not extended."

"Now that Li Luo's writing is so good, you still have nothing to worry about. He won't starve to death no matter what."

"If he can keep writing this book for a year or two, he won't need to worry about whether there is a subway or not."

After being reminded by Ying Zhicheng, Li Guohong finally reacted and then laughed.

It’s not that he didn’t expect it.

But after all, this is money that the child has earned with his own ability and potential.

Li Guohong would always subconsciously put this part of the money aside and calculate it separately.

But if you really count it, Li Luo had more than 500,000 yuan in his bank card before, and now it has 370,000 yuan, which means he is heading for a million yuan in savings.

Half a year's hard work is equivalent to more than ten years of hard work for the couple.

If he could continue to make money from one book like this, then what would there be to worry about?

It had clearly only been half a year, and their family had gone from taking a gamble on buying a house to seemingly having peace of mind now.

Life circumstances are sometimes hard to predict.

After lunch, the three grown men who had not helped with cooking were coaxed into the kitchen by Lin Xiuhong, and they lined up to wash dishes and clean the table.

Lin Xiuhong took Ying Chanxi and brought some freshly cut fruit to the sofa in the living room. They watched TV, ate fruit and chatted.

After washing the dishes, Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng continued to chat about national affairs and international developments in the living room.

Li Luo slipped back into the bedroom and planned to type for a while.

Seeing this, Ying Chanxi immediately followed him, slipped into his bedroom, and sat down on Li Luo's bed.

"Why did you come in?" Li Luo glanced at her and said, "I'm going to work, please don't disturb me."

"Are you going to write a novel?" Ying Chanxi sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at him curiously, "I've never seen you write a novel before."

"What's so good about this... Isn't it just sitting in front of a computer and typing away?"

"Then you knock, and I'll just watch from the side."

"Then don't read what I wrote specifically." Li Luo couldn't do anything with her. Seeing that she was determined to stay here, he had to remind her, "When I was writing a book, if someone was reading what I wrote, I wouldn't be able to write."

"I know. I won't watch it." Ying Chanxi nodded obediently.

Seeing that she agreed, Li Luo followed her.

He took out the notebook that Yan Zhusheng had lent her from his schoolbag, and then took out the mechanical keyboard that Xu Youyu had given him. After turning on the computers, he opened the typing software and got into the state.

Ying Chanxi, who was sitting on the bed, secretly puffed up his lips when he saw Li Luo take out the notebook and keyboard, and suddenly thought of who gave him these two things.

She clenched her two little hands in front of her stomach, and suddenly she felt itchy, as if she had forgotten something.

After watching Li Luo write for about half an hour, Ying Chanxi felt a little bored, so he got out of bed, walked out of the room, and went to cut some fruit.

While eating the fruit, he took out his mobile phone to read a novel and occasionally fed Li Luo a few bites.

Li Luo's book now has a total of more than 1.4 million words.

Ying Chanxi had never read online literature before, let alone a novel of over a million words.

When she read an online article for the first time, she still had the habit of reading traditional classics and read every sentence carefully.

Only the chapters where Mo Qinghan and Jiang Mingyue appeared could allow her to speed up her reading a little.

Even so, she read very slowly.

I stayed up late reading last night, almost all night, that is, I read from the first few chapters to about ninety chapters.

There are still more than 500 chapters waiting for her.

This number of words is probably enough for her to kill time during the Spring Festival.

However, as she read deeper into the book, Ying Chanxi gradually felt that something was wrong with the content.

In the plot of the first one hundred chapters.

Although Li Luo let the three female protagonists appear on the stage early on, he devoted a lot of effort to their characterization.

But in fact, apart from the childhood sweetheart who has an aura of giving from the moment she appears, others like Mo Qinghan and Jiang Mingyue have only known the protagonist for a short time.

She is far from expressing any affection or attraction for the protagonist in the sense of a man or a woman.

So when Ying Chanxi read the previous part, even though he quickly skipped the story of Mo Qinghan and Jiang Mingyue, he still understood the general plot.

It was nothing more than the opening performance at a concert hosted by Mo Qinghan. As a lucky guest at the scene, the protagonist Li Yang was reborn and traveled to a parallel world. With the help of the system, he sang a song "Dong Feng Po".

Afterwards, he formed a bond with the little queen Mo Qinghan.

After traveling to the parallel world, Li Yang ended the concert and returned home, where he had a series of interactions with his childhood sweetheart Shen Dongdong and made plans for the future development.

The plot of the first one hundred chapters mainly tells the story of how Li Yang quickly accumulated capital by copying songs and taking advantage of his relationship with Mo Qinghan, while also making a name for himself in the circle of original song writers.

At the same time, Shen Dongdong, her childhood sweetheart who dreams of becoming an actor, has become a newcomer in the entertainment industry, but is constrained everywhere.

Finally, unable to bear the director's threats and inducements, she complained to Li Yang in private, saying that she had really misjudged the entertainment industry. She was so disheartened that she wanted to quit and obediently follow her family's arrangements to go to work.

But Li Yang, who had already completed the original accumulation of capital at this time, happened to set his sights on the TV drama market at the time. He planned a script, brought in the film and television company behind Mo Qinghan, and started a TV drama script that was relatively simple to shoot.

Because of this, Jiang Mingyue, who happened to be at a low point in the TV actor circle, was brought up.

In the past, Jiang Mingyue would never have been able to take on such a low-budget TV series, but this time she became the female lead.

And under Li Yang's arrangement, Shen Dongdong became a female supporting role in the play who was easier to stand out.

Thus, the plot unfolds under such an arrangement.

It was from here that Ying Chanxi gradually felt that something was wrong.

Because during the filming of the TV series, the interaction between Jiang Mingyue and Li Yang went from Jiang Mingyue's initial distrust to her being slowly moved by the plot and conquered by Li Yang's personal charm.

Finally, after the TV series became a hit, Jiang Mingyue began to look at Li Yang with even greater respect.

Unlike Mo Qinghan, who is insensitive to emotions and is a relatively simple person, she is also not as arrogant as Shen Dongdong, who hides her feelings for Li Yang and never reveals them.

Jiang Mingyue is several years older than Li Yang. She is not as reserved and tactful in her feelings. Instead, she is open and passionate.

From the beginning of the plot after the first TV series, everything went wrong.

Ying Chanxi was getting more and more angry. For more than ten chapters in a row, Shen Dongdong didn't appear, and it was always Jiang Mingyue jumping around in her minefield.

She was so angry that her hands were shaking as she was eating the fruit with the fork.

It was not until Li Luo noticed something was wrong with her during a break that he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" Ying Chanxi glared at him angrily, took a bite of the apple in his hand viciously, and finally couldn't help it, stretched out his little feet in white socks, and kicked Li Luo on the waist.

"Didn't you say it was nothing?! Then why did you kick me?"

"I just want to kick!"
