Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 556

Yu Xin described the alley where he lived as dull and indifferent.

Yu Xin also said that the appearance of Chen Yang brought vigor and vitality to this alley.

Chen Yang smiled modestly. He thought that the Jia Nantang next door was the shining point in the alley.

Different from other residents, Janantang is more active and cares about the daily life of his neighbors.

So Yu Xin has a point of view, life needs gossip, and people like Jia Nantang who love gossip are needed.

Director Lang told Chen Yang that Jia Nantang turned out to be a severe depression patient.

Other first-level professors, like Feng Renshan and Professor Ye, can be hired back after retirement.

But Jianantang did not, his major in ancient Chinese was too small.In addition, he also made way for his own students, and he was unwilling to take their jobs.

Jia Nantang thought that he had become a waste, shut himself in the room all day, and slowly got depression.

Later, his sons and daughters took him out for a trip, supplemented by drugs, and made constant adjustments, so that he could live the life he is now playing like a child.

Director Lang said: "In my opinion, the six families on your side, only your two families and Jia Nantang are normal people, and the other three families give me a headache."

Chen Yang smiled without saying a word.

Yu Xin asked: "Lao Lang, Mr. Feng Renshan and Feng, isn't he a normal person?"

Director Lang smiled wryly, "What is he like? Our police station and fire brigade have asked to check the house many times, but he just won't let him in. His house is a wooden house, and his house is full of books and materials. One can imagine."

Chen Yang said: "I have something to explain. After the fire in Lu's house, Mr. Feng came to see me and begged me for one thing."

Director Lang asked, "What's the matter?"

"He said that once a fire broke out in his house, he asked me not to save people, but to rescue his materials first."

Director Lang said: "This old man, there is really nothing we can do about him."

There are two other things that Chen Yang also said.

Yu Xin said: "Lao Lang, I have an idea. If you can't get in, Xiao Chen can. Since he wants to ask Xiao Chen, let Xiao Chen persuade him."

Director Lang looked at Chen Yang, "How is it?"

Chen Yang nodded, "I'll try. After all, they are neighbors, only one and a half meters apart. His lips are dead and his teeth are cold. If his house catches fire, my house will definitely suffer too."

Yu Xin turned the topic to his neighbor, "Du Zikun is also harmless to humans and animals, but his living conditions really make people worry about him."

Chen Yang was curious, "Isn't he a famous poet? I bought two collections of his poems at Xinhua Bookstore. But I don't like poetry, and I haven't read his collection of poems yet."

Director Lang shook his head with a smile, "The times are different. Poetry and poets are no longer popular. Now is an era where everything depends on money. Poetry cannot be turned into money."

Yu Xin asked Chen Yang, "About poetry and poets, do you know a famous saying?"

Chen Yang shook his head and smiled, "I don't know. I just want to know if our peasant's country tunes are considered poetry."

Yu Xin said: "Some people used to say that anger makes poets. Now some people say that pain makes poets. Lao Du is the poet who comes out of pain."

All three laughed.

After laughing, Yu Xin told Chen Yang, "The two collections of poetry you bought must have been published by Lao Du a few years ago. Before publishing books, you could still get the manuscript fee. Now that it is commercialized, the publisher thinks it can't make money. Qian’s book, it will not be published. This is what Lao Du worries about recently, he has a collection of poetry and a collection of essays, but other publishers are unwilling to publish them.”

Director Lang said: "I know this. My niece works in the Municipal Publishing House. The publishing house agreed to publish Lao Du's two books, but there is a requirement that they publish at their own expense."

Chen Yang asked, "What is self-publishing?"

Director Lang didn't quite understand, "I only heard that before the book is published, the author has to give the publisher a sum of money. After the book is published, the author has to use the money to buy the book and then sell it himself."

Yu Xin said: "With the little salary of Lao Du, he can't even support himself and his son. Where can I get the money to start self-publishing?"

Chen Yang asked about Du Zikun's family situation, "Old Yu, what is his family's situation? He is a native of Shanghai, why are his parents thousands of miles away in the Southwest?"

"His parents supported the construction of the Great Southwest, and later settled there. Lao Du stayed in Shanghai to study, and his household registration also stayed in Shanghai. His wife was his high school classmate. The couple were fine at first, but later Lao Du's virtue, His wife couldn't bear it. In addition, his wife wanted to go abroad, and the couple had to part ways."

Director Lang said: "In short, Mr. Feng does not eat fireworks, and Du Zikun does not eat fireworks. But the problem is, Mr. Feng can not eat fireworks, but Du Zikun has to eat fireworks."

Chen Yang smiled and praised, "Lang Suo, you summed it up brilliantly."

Yu Xin asked Chen Yang, "Also, how about the fake foreign devil couple? I heard that they came to thank you for saving your life?"

Chen Yang nodded, "Too lofty and arrogant, to come to my house to thank me is also condescending."

Yu Xin said: "She is indeed talented. Lu Feiyao works in a bank, and I don't know much about it. But his wife Cheng Shanshan works in the City Planning and Design Institute, and we have dealt with each other. I admire her talent very much."

Director Lang said: "This Lu Feiyao is a door-to-door son-in-law."

Yu Xin smiled, "If that's the case, then I guess Lu Feiyao must be afraid of his wife."

Chen Yang also laughed, "Hey, have we started gossiping yet?"

Yu Xin smirked, "Is gossip bad?"

Director Lang also laughed, "It's okay to gossip after drinking."

Chen Yang asked with a smile, "Who is gossip? Who has gossip?"

Yu Xin whispered, "It's that Lu Feiyao. I heard that this guy has a woman outside."

Chen Yang didn't believe it, "No way. That Cheng Shanshan is very beautiful, like a movie star, how could he mess around outside."

Director Lang pointed to Chen Yang and said, "Little young man, too simple, too simple."

Yu Xin said: "Xiao Chen, have you ever heard such a saying. Home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, your own is not as good as other people's, and your own is not as good as stolen."

Chen Yang smiled, didn't answer, and stopped drinking.

Lang and Yu drank a little too much, and if they drank any more, they would talk nonsense.

Chen Yang was still happy to have two more friends.

Chen Yang thought to himself, Director Lang is treating guests this time, next time he must be the host and choose a better restaurant.

The next morning, Chen Yang and Jia Nantang came back from the kindergarten.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the Feng family's little nanny running out of the house panting.

The little nanny ran directly in front of Chen Yang, dancing, blushing and speechless.

Chen Yang hurriedly asked, "Quickly tell me, what happened?"

"Yeah... yah..."

Jia Nantang said anxiously: "Xiao Chen, she is dumb."

Chen Yang suddenly realized, and ran into Feng's house together with Jia Nantang.

In the bedroom on the first floor, the old couple are lying on the ground...
