NOVEL NEXT Chapter 235 Go home again
"Being able to write a work that relies on original poetry to slap people in the face should attract readers, but it is too difficult."
"Brother, although I don't write novels, I also know that it's not easy for you Internet writers. Sometimes, you just want to write original poems all night long? In fact, it's not that today's writers don't have the ability to write, it's that they don't have the time. Every day You have to work hard to finish the manuscript, and you can't complete the daily updates without working hard. You also need to create original poems. Sometimes the creation of a poem requires ten days and a half of polishing and revision. How can it be so easy? Li Bai and Du Fu wrote poems How many outstanding works can you produce in a lifetime? It’s actually very difficult.”
"That's right. It takes me 2000-4 hours to write a 5-word article. Nowadays, online writers basically need to update 4000-6000 words every day. I can't do it. Sometimes when I encounter a problem, it may take two or three days. I can't even hold back a single word, and today's online novels often have millions or even tens of millions of words. Writing online novels is not an easy task." Xia Haoyang wrote a script of 10-20 words, which is already very difficult. Thank you for your hard work. It’s scary to think about those online novels that have tens of millions of words. "
"But it's really hard to read online novels if they have too few words. A million words is the most basic thing." The man with glasses next to him said casually.
Xia Haoyang nodded and did not answer. He complained in his heart that it seems that I will never be able to be a novel writer in this life. This thing is too difficult. It’s easy to move songs. If you’re quick, you can finish a work in a few minutes. But if you really want to write a novel, even if you’re moving Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Dream of Red Mansions, it still takes too long.
Along the way, while Xia Haoyang was working on the manuscript, he sometimes chatted with the bespectacled man sitting next to him. The six-hour drive was actually faster than expected.
When he walked out of the train station, his second brother Xia Haoqi was waiting for him at the high-speed train exit.
"Second brother? Why are you here?"
"Mom asked me to pick you up. Go this way. My car is parked here." Xia Haoqi greeted.
It's still the flashy red Aston Martin. "Don't all the sports cars that people say have two seats? Is it cheaper for you to have a back seat?" Xia Haoyang joked.
"Nonsense, what does the number of seats in a good car have to do with it? You don't even have a driver's license, you know nothing."
Xia Haoyang didn't say anything. He really didn't understand cars. But not long after, Xia Haoyang remembered something: "Who is getting married on the weekend? Mom has to let me come back, so there won't be another dinner arranged."
"I don't know if my mother has arranged anything, but the two parties in the wedding are indeed related. One party is our cousin Xie Mingxi, and the woman is the daughter of the He family in Kuaiji." Xia Haoqi said nonchalantly.
"The He family in Kuaiji? Sun Na's mother's name is He Chunxia, right? So that's the reason?"
"Then who knows?" Xia Haoqi also laughed at himself.
The wedding banquet on Saturday was also quite a sensation in the society. Xia Haoyang and the others were discussing which family they were born in and which surname they were born in. Ordinary people were more concerned about their external identities. There was also a large report in the local newspaper: "The wedding of the century between the prince of the first rank of the temple and Kang Erhui's daughter."
Today's media has various sources of information, and of course it cannot be ruled out that some people are deliberately promoting it. Anyway, Saturday's wedding cost 300 million yuan to decorate, 1500 million yuan to spend, 200 banquet tables, and a dowry of 1 million yuan. The 0588 tons of flowers and green plants at the wedding site were all flown in, and they were expensive. Not only that, the banquet menu is also very comprehensive, including not only luxurious meals such as black truffle Kanto ginseng and Australian scallops, wild yellow croaker, salad with big blue dragon, Alaskan king crab charcoal grill, but also sashimi platter, foie gras, salmon, etc. Exquisite seafood.
Xia Haoyang looked at the introduction of the wedding on the news on his mobile phone, "You don't even need to go to the venue. The menu has already been made public. Today's media is awesome."
"Isn't that what ordinary people care about? They care about what we eat every day, what we drink, and what brand of clothes we wear. In fact, we don't live in outer space. How different are we from ordinary people?" Xia Haoqi said casually.
"There are some differences, right? Your car, your watch, and your shoes. Last time I was told that there were hundreds of thousands of pairs and they were still out of stock. What kind of trendy brand linkage?" Xia Haoyang joked.
"Well, this is nonsense, but you are really not particular about it. I found that northerners don't seem to be particular about food and clothing. Last time, there was a rich second generation from Yancheng. I had dinner with him, and he was just like you. , the cheap T-shirt he was wearing, and the sneakers on his feet were fucking classic models from our company, and they were euphemistically called supporting domestic products. I was so embarrassed standing next to him."
"This is because I also found that northerners are generally simpler." Xia Haoyang nodded.
When I got home, the whole family was still sitting neatly in the living room. The difference was that my sister-in-law Kuang Yurong's belly seemed to be slightly bulging, so she sat in the C position on the sofa.
"Mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, hey, sister-in-law is pregnant?"
"More than two months, less than three months." Kuang Yurong was very happy, gently stroking her belly with her left hand.
"This is a big event. Congratulations, sister-in-law. The baby in your belly is the third generation of our family."
"Yangyang, sit here, you didn't bring your little girlfriend home?" Mom said with a smile.
"I originally wanted to bring it back, but Wanqi went to Shashi to participate in an event." Xia Haoyang also said bluntly.
Dad Xia hummed, and the others looked at each other and said nothing.
"You old man, you are your own child. Who are you showing your face to? Really, Yangyang, do you want to go upstairs to take a bath or eat first?" Mom kept smiling all the time.
"How about I go upstairs and take a shower first, and come down for dinner later." Xia Haoyang saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he chose to avoid it.
Returning to his room on the second floor, he lay down on the bed and took a deep breath. Xia Haoyang could feel the care and concern of his family, but he still felt a little conflicted in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of his family in the blur of time and space. He thought again of the dream he had in the Wuxi City Hotel. Who was the photo hanging in the dream? He must not be his father, but he should recognize that vague shadow.
Without thinking for too long, Xia Haoyang got up and took a shower, then went downstairs to eat. The seats were still in fixed positions, and before Xia Haoyang came downstairs, except for the sister-in-law who was drinking soup, no one else touched the dishes or chopsticks. The rules of the Xia family are still very strict in this regard. Food is not allowed to be served until everyone is present.
"Haoyang, I started moving first without waiting for you." The sister-in-law greeted Xia Haoyang with a smile while drinking soup.
"It's okay. You don't need to wait for me. Everyone can just eat, especially sister-in-law. You have a baby in your belly now and you will get hungry easily. Eat more."
Seeing Xia Haoyang sit down, Xia's father said: "Let's eat." Then everyone started to use the dishes. Mother Xia first served another bowl of fish soup to Kuang Yurong, a piece of ribs for the eldest brother, a shrimp for the second child, and then a chopstick of fish meat for Xia Haoyang. "You use your brain more when writing songs and arranging music. Eat more fish."
"Thank you mom."
