Return to Splendid

Chapter 117 The Queen Mother’s Flat Peach

Yue Xin told Xing Yi that before meeting Hu Yanli, he had always thought that Zhang Siyi's natural conditions were very good and there was no suitable partner for her in the countryside. Her love should be obtained by crossing the mountains and fields and going to the city, so he thought about a Time, I want to contact Xing Yi again and ask how his career is developing now, and if I have time to recall the encounter in Fenghuang Datun.

After meeting Hu Yanli, I felt that it was Xing Yi who declined because the goal had been established. This Hu Yanli looked really outstanding, and there was something fascinating about her. Compared with Zhang Siyi, there was a big difference between them. They are both beautiful, but one is introverted and smaller, while the other is cheerful and plump.Compared with Xing Yi, who is mature, reserved and elegant, he really needs someone who is more outgoing to complement him.

"That day, I was being truthful. I quoted your original words and told her that you declined my suggestion. It showed that you should put your career first and not consider personal issues for the time being."

Xing Yi just laughed. Hu Yanli went to the countryside to investigate. She was so dedicated to her friends. Xing Yi admired this very much and was very grateful to her.

Yue Xin came into contact with Hu Yanli and after answering her questions, she learned that Hu Yanli was the best friend of Xing Yi's girlfriend, and Yue Xin suddenly realized it.During their conversation in the countryside, Hu Yanli had not introduced him to Yue Xin as one of the parties involved. Now that he was listening to him talk and demonstrate vividly, Xing Yi was very interested.

"I told her at that time, there is no need to panic with your unrestrained and passionate heart. Your Xing Yi is too stable and reserved. Teacher Zhang Siyi is so... in our minds... He is not tempted. Such a man is not Reason not to believe it.”

Yue Xin said vividly that she was very surprised at the time. Hu Yanli was already quite outstanding, but after a conversation, she realized that she was not Xing Yi's girlfriend. Who was she? Who could win the love of that reserved and beautiful man? ?How she should be outstanding.

Later he found out that it was Ni Shuzhen from the business office of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

Yue Xin said: "I have been to the business office before, and there was a girl inside who looked dignified and behaved elegantly. People who went in to do business inevitably wanted to stay a little longer and found excuses to stay a little longer. So did I. Hehe , now everything is clear, when you go back one day, you must take me to meet you, and introduce us seriously. Then I won’t have to beat around the bush when I send the manuscript."

Xing Yi nodded: "No problem, get ready, I will take you to meet next week."

"Also, I don't know what Hu Yanli told her about what happened that day when she came back. Hu Yanli is a person with a rich imagination. Will she exaggerate and promote my honesty and trustworthiness as childish and ridiculous? So you see, if you If you think it is necessary, please make arrangements and give me a chance to explain something in front of the two of them, so that Hu Yanli can get to know me again."

"No problem, I will fulfill your wish after a while."

Lunch was eaten in the canteen of the hydropower plant. It included four dishes, one soup, rice, and enough steamed buns. There was strawberry wine in the canteen.

While eating, he opened up his heart and told Xing Yi everything he had encountered with his girlfriend.

Yue Xin's girlfriend is also a teacher, but she is not in the same township as him. In a certain township, the two of them meet once a week. At first, they thought it was a good idea, and their relationship deepened every time they met.

But as time went by, I began to think about the future, and gradually I felt that this was no longer enough. Once I got married, would I have to live separately in two places again?What to do if you have a child?

Xing Yi comforted him: "After you get married, you can ask for transfer according to relevant regulations, and you can be transferred there, or she can be transferred here."

Yue Xin said: "It's not easy. I've inquired about it. It's very troublesome to transfer. It costs a lot of money to find someone you know."

"It doesn't matter, take your time, there will always be a way." Xing Yi said.

Yue Xin mentioned the construction of the irrigation station in Shangyan Village. He came to see it. The foundation had been laid, the installation racks had been raised, the machinery and equipment had been transported, and more than a dozen workers were working on it every day.

Xing Yi felt relieved and said: "I will definitely go and take a look in two days."

There is a book series containing two short essays written by Yue Xin, which is available in bookstores. Yue Xin did not forget to let Xing Yi know.

He told Xing Yi: "It will be on the shelves in two days. I will buy a copy to give it to you then."

Xing Yi asked: "How much royalties did you pay in the first place?"

"When it was published in the newspaper, the editorial department remitted 36 yuan."

"now what."

"Where can I find it now?"

"Did I contact you before publishing the book?"

"There is only a notice saying that your prose has been included."

"Didn't you talk about royalties?"

"Royalty?"

"If we publish a book together and sell it in the bookstore, who will get the income?"

"How do I know that?"

"The author has a share."

"Didn't I pay the royalties? That's 36 yuan."

"You think this is the end? So..."

Yue Xin looked at him in a daze.

"The publishing house collects interesting articles and publishes them as books. The books are sold through bookstores, and the publishing house has income. If more people buy the book, there will be reprints, and the sales will continue, and the income will continue. This is not a matter of 36 yuan. ”

"never heard of that."

"You will know in the future. If you think what I said makes sense, you might as well contact other authors and join forces to go to the publisher and ask for an explanation."

"What you said makes sense. Let me see how to contact them. Hmm, there must be an explanation, yes."

Because we had agreed to go see the progress of the old carpenter carving the base at noon, Xing Yi took Yue Xin to the small village after dinner.

Xing Yi showed Yue Xin the toad stone and the fairy peach stone.

Yue Xin liked the peach-shaped stone very much, holding it in his hand and rubbing it repeatedly.

When he learned that Xing Yi was going to send the toad stone to the expo, he shook his head and said, "Then you might as well send this piece. You can name it after the Queen Mother Xiantao, which has the taste of history and culture."

Xing Yi said: "The peach stone is a bit too small. The exhibition venue is wide and the stone is too small to be easily seen. In comparison, the toad stone is much larger."

"I think this toad stone is not pretty..."

"I know what you want to say. It's ugly, but it's easy to attract people's attention. The main purpose of my visit this time is to find knowledgeable people to take a look and evaluate the value of this kind of stone."

Yue Xin commented on the peach stone. He saw that in the comic strip Journey to the West, the fairy peach that the Jade Emperor gave to the Queen Mother looked like this. It was half red and half white in color, not very round, and slightly crooked. The artist spent a lot of time processing it this way.

Xing Yi said: "If you like this crooked peach, I'll give it to you."

"You must give me this toad stone?"

"I asked the master to spend two days carving the base. Can you not go?"

Yue Xin said: "Since you have decided this, then this piece of the Queen Mother's fairy peach belongs to me."

"Of course."

Half a day passed quickly, and Yue Xin was about to go back. Xing Yi sent him to the roadside, watched him get on the farm bus, and held the "Queen Mother's Fairy Peach" in his arms.
