A widower's entertainment

Chapter 241 [Real Capital] (Subscription Request)
Although Lin Youcheng asked Aunt Zhao from the Street Office to find out if there were any Siheyuan houses for sale in the Hutong area, he did not focus entirely on Siheyuan houses. This was because Lin Youcheng knew very well that no matter what kind of investment it was, or whether the investment would be successful, he could not put all his eggs in one basket.

What’s more important is that Lin Youcheng knows that the capital that truly belongs to him is the pen in his hand.

In other words, the real capital is the works written by Lin Youcheng.

Lin Youcheng wrote works such as "Under the Hawthorn Tree", "The Devotion of Suspect X", "Love Letter", "Strange Things in the World", "The Sound of the Wind", "My Captain, My Regiment", "War Meridian", "Drawing Sword", and "Tengu". These are Lin Youcheng's capital. His strength is unquestionable and quite strong.

In the eyes of the literary world, Lin Youcheng's works are mainly the love tetralogy and the war tetralogy. Although it is a bit one-sided to attribute "Wonderful Things in the World" to a love story, there is no doubt that Lynch's love story of rejuvenation and falling in love against the flow of time is not an amazing love story.

As for "Tengu", this realistic novel is considered by many literary critics to be a new war novel after the war. This is because the identity of Tengu in the novel is a soldier who came down from the battlefield, and the whole story is about fighting. It is also a thoroughly cruel war novel.

In fact, just as Zhang Wei urged, readers also really want to know what kind of novel Lin Youcheng will write next.

The previously published "The Time Traveler's Wife" is Lin Youcheng's return to love, combining science fiction and romance. So what kind of work will Lin Youcheng bring after "The Time Traveler's Wife"? This is what all readers who like Lin Youcheng's novels want to know.

Lin Youcheng did not consider writing "My Brothers and Sisters" as a novel, because it was just a movie script, just like the TV version of "The Sound of the Wind" script he wrote for Zheng Xiaolong before, and he did not think about submitting it for publication.

Lin Youcheng is also thinking seriously about what to write for his next novel.

Lin Youcheng sat in the yard, thinking about his next novel while Song Ma picked vegetables.

These novels are his capital, and may also be the huge copyright wealth that his children will inherit after his death.

"Dad, I heard that uncle wrote me a letter?"

Lin Zhaohuan ran over excitedly, opened his big eyes, looked at Lin Youcheng expectantly, waiting for Lin Youcheng's answer.

Looking at Lin Zhaohuan and the expectant look in Lin Zhaoman's eyes behind him, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I wrote letters to each of you."

A few idiots wrote to Cha Hailing on a whim, and later wrote to Lin Youcai's family and Zhao Gensheng's family in Decheng. Although they have not received a reply from Cha Hailing, they have received a reply from Lin Youcai.

It was obvious that the eldest brother Lin Youcai also doted on these children. After receiving the letter, he specially wrote a reply to each child.

"It's on the eight-immortal table in the main hall. Uncle has written letters to each of you. Go and have a look."

Before they could finish listening to Lin Youcheng's words, a few smaller kids had already run into the main room with their school bags on their backs.

Even though Lin Zhaoxi was very sensible, he was very happy to hear that his uncle had written a reply to him, and he went to read the letter with anticipation.

Lin Youcheng looked at the smile on Lin Zhaoxi's face and couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, the recipient's address was very clear and detailed, and the postman would not be unable to find the mailing address like the previous "Love Letter" mailing craze. Otherwise, sending several letters to the same address at the same time would be enough to make the postman work hard.

It is good to receive these letters.

Lin Youcheng knew very well that although there were public telephones now, letters were still the most common method of communication.

Looking at several children excitedly running into the yard with letters addressed to them, each with a smile on his face, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but feel that the scene was somewhat joyful.

Although the innocent children were excited because they received their own letters for the first time, it is fortunate that the era of correspondence has not ended, otherwise such experiences would be less common when the children grow up.

Although the transportation is slow, such a long-distance exchange of letters is really precious. Lin Youcheng also understands why "Love Letter" caused such a sensation at that time. On the one hand, it is the touching story of extreme secret love, and on the other hand, it is because letter exchange is something that many young people like to do.

"Dad, look, there are letters from Zhao Ping and Zhao An in the envelope."

Lin Zhaohuan took the opened envelope. The content on the letter paper was not long, but there were three pages. Judging from the immature handwriting, the other two were obviously written by Lin Zhaoping and Lin Zhaoan.

It seems that the eldest brother Lin Youcai specially asked the two brothers Lin Zhaoping and Lin Zhaoan to write a reply letter. I just don't know whether the two brothers Lin Zhaoping and Lin Zhaoan were willing to write the reply letter themselves.

"Please keep the letter they wrote carefully. After all, it was sent from far away."

Before Lin Zhaohuan could answer, Lin Zhaoqing on the side said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, I will keep it well. This is the first letter I have ever received."

“Yes, this is also the first letter I received.”

"I also want to write back to Zhao Ping."

"I also want!"

"I want to write a letter to my aunt in Su Province!"

"Yes, we can write to our aunt!"

……

Seeing the children eager to write letters again, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

Lin Zhaoxi carefully read the letter written to her by her uncle Lin Youcai. She also read the letter in which Lin Youcai asked her to take good care of herself and her younger brothers and sisters, and to write to her uncle if anything happened in the capital. This made her feel warm in her heart. When she was in Decheng, she knew that her uncle loved them very much and often gave money to their family when their mother was still alive.

"Dad, didn't your uncle write to you?"

Lin Zhaoxi put away his letter and suddenly asked a question.

"Your uncle didn't write to me, he only wrote to you."

Lin Youcheng shook his head. His elder brother Lin Youcai did not write to him, so of course he didn't care.

After all, he had no shortage of letters. He could not read all the letters sent by his readers. Among them, there were letters from not just one strange woman, but many strange women.

Lin Youcheng's thoughts continued and his eyes couldn't help but look outside the yard gate.

No matter where you are or when you communicate via email or letter, there will always be very special and different stories happening.

He seemed to have thought of what to write for his next novel.
