Literary Master 1978.

Chapter 393 How big the heart is, how big the stage is

The shock that "Crossing the Guandong" has brought to the Chinese literary world continues. Both the author Lin Chaoyang and the Huacheng Publishing House, the organization responsible for publication, will surely benefit greatly from it in the future.

After being entertained by Li Shifei for one night, Lin Chaoyang boarded the train back to Yanjing the next day.

It took two days and one night to travel north.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Tao Yumo placing a lounge chair under the corridor, lying there leisurely, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

Little Dongdong was squatting in the sun not far away, watching the ants busying around under the plane tree. He drooled from the corners of his mouth as if he had seen some delicious food.

Tao Yumo also saw Lin Chaoyang. When she saw him coming back, she immediately rolled up from the recliner, her eyes shining, "Brother-in-law, you're back!"

Lin Chaoyang knew that this girl was not so enthusiastic towards him, so he simply threw all the luggage to her and picked up Xiao Dongdong.

"My dear son, do you miss your daddy?"

Lin Chaoyang had been on the train for two days and his face was covered with stubble. The little Dongdong who was pricked cried loudly and struggled with his hands and feet.

"Auntie!"

Xiao Dongdong called out the word "Dad" more skillfully than "Dad", but unfortunately his money-hungry aunt was busy opening presents and had no intention of saving him from the dire situation.

Tao Yumo finally got the Famicom he had been dreaming of and couldn't wait to open the package. The reason why it was called Famicom was naturally because of the red and white color scheme.

When Tao Yumo got the game console that felt all plastic, he was even more anxious than a dragon seeing a gem, and his face was full of intoxication.

Twenty years later, she would be a complete internet addict.

In addition to buying Tao Yumo a Famicom, Lin Chaoyang also gave her a few game cartridges.

The four boxes of yellow game cartridges are "Mahjong", "Super Mario Plumber", "Gold Digger" and "Motocross". These games are the best-selling games after the launch of the new generation of red and white consoles.

Tao Yumo couldn't wait to study the connection method of the game console, which needed to be connected to a TV to play.

She fiddled with it for a long time and finally connected to the game, a silly smile on her face.

He handed Lin Chaoyang another controller and said, "Brother-in-law, let's play together!"

Lin Chaoyang snatched the controller from her hand and said, "What are you playing for? Go look after the kids!"

Tao Yumo was deprived of his first experience with the Famicom, so he was filled with resentment. He stood beside Lin Chaoyang holding Xiao Dongdong and stared at him, trying to put some mental pressure on him.

As a result, within two minutes, her attention was completely attracted by the game screen.

This game console is so fun!

It’s so fun just watching it, how much more fun would it be if you could play it yourself?

Lin Chaoyang plays the Famicom to make up for the regrets of his childhood, but unfortunately, the reason why regrets are regrets is because they are difficult to make up for.

This is the reason why so many middle-aged people were moved to tears by the phrase "The delivery of Lego is so slow" on the Internet in later generations.

After playing for a while, Lin Chaoyang felt it was boring, so he threw the handle back to Tao Yumo and picked up the child himself, which made Tao Yumo very happy.

Finally, I can play games happily!
She had been playing for less than twenty minutes when Tao Yushu came home from get off work. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Lin Chaoyang playing with the child, while Tao Yumo was holding the game controller, looking sometimes nervous, sometimes excited, and shouting loudly.

Looking at this scene, Tao Yushu's face turned dark. He walked to the TV, moved his fingers slightly, and the TV screen went dark.

Tao Yumo, who was enjoying the game, was shocked by the sudden unexpected shock and shouted, "Oh my, I'm almost through!"

She was about to explode when her eyes met her sister's sharp, dangerous gaze, and she was so scared that she immediately fell silent.

She threw the handle away, with a sweet and well-behaved smile on her face, "Sister, you're off work!"

As she spoke, she very tactfully called out to Xiao Dongdong, "Dongzi, come over here to your aunt."

Xiao Dongdong was playing with Lin Chaoyang. When Tao Yumo called him, he immediately abandoned his old father and ran over, snuggling in his aunt's arms.

"You are already a grown-up, and all you do all day is play games..."

Tao Yumo felt deeply comforted by Xiao Dongdong's "coming when called". She leaned against her nephew's little face, imagined herself as Cinderella who was abused by her stepmother, ignored the advice of her elder sister, and felt relieved immediately.

Lin Chaoyang interrupted at this time: "Okay, okay, look at what I brought back for you."

His words diverted Tao Yushu's attention, but did not gain Tao Yumo's gratitude.

It was obviously my brother-in-law who was rushing to play the video game console. If I hadn't been waiting in line behind him, I wouldn't have had to get scolded.

She felt a little angry when she thought about it, but her eyes were quickly attracted by the gift that Lin Chaoyang bought for Tao Yushu.

What Lin Chaoyang brought back for Tao Yushu was a Van Cleef & Arpels ruby ​​and pearl necklace with a tower chain design. The pearls were warm and bright, and there were small diamonds in the middle, which was crystal clear.

Of course, what attracts more attention is the pendant at the top of the necklace, which is made of a whole piece of crystal.

A 2.5 carat ruby ​​is nestled in the middle. The rose-colored ruby ​​is gorgeous, and paired with the soft and delicate pearls, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Not only Tao Yumo was deeply attracted by this ruby ​​and pearl necklace, but Tao Yushu was as well.

She looked at the necklace, her eyes slightly absent-minded for a few seconds, and after a while she reacted, trying hard to suppress her love in her heart, and said to Lin Chaoyang: "Why buy such an expensive thing?"

"It's beautiful! I was shopping at the mall and fell in love with this necklace at first sight. It will be a perfect match if you wear it."

As Lin Chaoyang spoke, he gestured with the necklace next to Tao Yushu's pink neck, and Tao Yumo, who was standing beside him, immediately exclaimed in amazement.

"Sister, you're so beautiful!"

Women simply cannot resist jewelry.

The sister's exclamation aroused Tao Yushu's love of beauty. Lin Chaoyang pulled her to stand in front of the mirror and said, "Look! How beautiful you are!"

Tao Yushu couldn't help but touch the pearl and ruby ​​necklace, her eyes full of love. Lin Chaoyang took the opportunity to lift her hair, revealing a part of her fair and tender neck, and gently put the necklace on her.

"After all these years of marriage, this seems to be the first time I've bought you jewelry." Lin Chaoyang said with some guilt.

The ruby ​​and pearl necklace on her neck was shining brightly, making her look brighter.

Tao Yushu looked at Lin Chaoyang with tender eyes and couldn't help but throw himself into his arms.

The couple embraced each other affectionately, and Tao Yumo immediately felt that she seemed a little redundant in this family, and was being abused. She covered Xiao Dongdong's eyes and quietly stepped aside. Then she looked at the red and white machine placed next to the TV. She was obviously playing it happily ten minutes ago, but now she felt that it was a cheap and sad happiness.

After a while of tenderness, Tao Yushu remembered that she had a younger sister in the room. She came out of Lin Chaoyang's arms and turned to look in the direction of Tao Yumo.

Tao Yumo immediately looked up at the sky and was almost about to whistle with his hands in his pockets.

After the joy, Tao Yushu thought of the ruby ​​and pearl necklace around her neck. It was beautiful, but it was probably very valuable.

"This necklace is not cheap, right?" she asked Lin Chaoyang.

"Not much money." Lin Chaoyang said perfunctorily.

“How much money is there without much money?”

Tao Yushu kept asking questions, and not only her, but Tao Yumo also looked at Lin Chaoyang curiously.

"We'll make it back from the royalties later."

After listening to his words, Tao Yushu immediately understood that this necklace would cost at least 30,000 to 40,000 Hong Kong dollars.

She spent 30,000 or 40,000 Hong Kong dollars just to buy a necklace. Even if she liked it very much, she couldn't help but feel bad.

"too expensive!"

"It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive, what matters is that you like it."

Lin Chaoyang added another sweet remark, which immediately melted Tao Yushu's distressed mood. The couple began to be affectionate again, and Tao Yumo wanted to defile his eyes when seeing this.

"Come on! Dongzi, auntie will take you to swing!" she said loudly.

After she walked out of the room and came to the swing in the yard, she gritted her teeth in envy. Tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, that’s tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars!

When I think about the necklace on my sister's neck being worth a three-story courtyard house in Yanjing City, and it has to be in the best location, my teeth are about to break. How many years of working and raising children will I have to do to be able to afford it!

Xiao Dongdong swung on the swing for a while and found that his aunt stopped pushing him. He couldn't help but turn his head to look over, and saw Tao Yumo squatting down with a look of great expectation in his eyes.

"Dongzi, your aunt is so good to you, you must never forget her in the future!"

Xiao Dongdong is less than two years old and doesn't quite understand what Tao Yumo said, but he can feel Tao Yumo's emotions.

Then he nodded heavily and hummed in a baby voice.

Tao Yumo then said, "When you grow up, buy a ruby ​​and pearl necklace for your aunt, okay?"

Ruby pearl necklace? What is that? Is it better than powdered milk?
The ignorant and fearless Xiao Dongdong nodded seriously again.

Tao Yumo hugged Xiao Dongdong and kissed him hard on the forehead twice, "You are really a good nephew of your aunt!"

Feeling his aunt's joy, Xiao Dongdong grinned, revealing a few little milk teeth.

The next morning, Lin Chaoyang got up feeling a little sluggish. With the BUFF of the ruby ​​pearl necklace last night, Comrade Yushu showed a fighting power far beyond his previous performance and almost defeated him.

Fortunately, Comrade Chaoyang was an experienced warrior with superb marksmanship, and he finally defeated Tao Yushu and made him flee without a trace.

However, he killed one thousand enemies and injured eight hundred of his own men. He was not in high spirits that morning. On the contrary, Tao Yushu went to work in radiant spirits after washing up early in the morning.

At about 3:00 p.m., Lin Erchun came over and saw Lin Chaoyang at home. He asked, "When did you come back?"

"Yesterday. Just in time for you to come, I brought you gifts."

Lin Chaoyang took out the gift he had prepared, and what Lin Erchun got was a slim and exquisite calculator, which was a calculator that Sharp manufactured for Apple two years ago.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, almost all electronic products available in China were imported from foreign countries.

Small items like calculators are no exception. They are similar to electronic watches and have been on the domestic market for several years.

Therefore, this thing is not a rare thing, but the calculator that Lin Chaoyang brought back is very beautiful, and its thickness subverts the imagination of people of this era.

The thinnest part is only as thick as a coin, and the thickest part is as thick as two coins stacked together.

Because it is so thin, this calculator doesn’t even have a corresponding button battery to match it, so it can only use a solar panel.

Lin Erchun didn't take the calculator seriously at first, but after hearing Lin Chaoyang's explanation that it didn't need batteries, and looking at its appearance, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Foreigners' things are really good. How did they research this thing?"

Lin Erchun now does his accounting every day, and having such a calculator is really convenient. The more he looks at this thing, the more he likes it, and he also likes Lin Chaoyang a lot more.

"Why are you here at this time?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

"Nothing much. I just bought a courtyard house and came to tell Yushu about it."

"Where did you buy it?"

"Over in Nancaochang Hutong, I spent nearly 8,000 yuan on a two-yard apartment. The housing prices in Yanjing have risen too fast in the past two years!"

Lin Erchun looked melancholy, regretting that he had not discovered this landlord's shortcut to wealth two years ago. "In the past, a yard like this would cost at most 6,000 yuan."

Lin Chaoyang bought a two-story house in the Xicheng District of Yanjing for eight thousand yuan. He didn't know what to say to comfort Comrade Erchun's wounded heart.

So they talked about Er Maitai's recent situation. Er Maitai was someone Lin Erchun had seen grow up. When he heard that he was about to settle down in Shenzhen, Lin Erchun was also happy.

"In the blink of an eye, this little bastard is getting married!" Lin Erchun sighed, and then asked Lin Chaoyang: "You just said that the housing prices in Shenzhen are expensive, so will they also increase in the future?"

"In 79, Shenzhen had only 30 people. Last year, the number was 60. The population doubled in five years. I'm afraid the speed will be even faster in the future.

With so many investments coming in, it is now a hotspot for investment.”

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Lin Erchun's face understood. He had been buying houses and renting them out for more than half a year, and had a certain understanding of the real estate industry. According to Lin Chaoyang's description, the rise in Shenzhen's housing prices was inevitable.

"Let's go to Shenzhen and buy some houses when we have time!"

"You're quite bold. You haven't figured out anything in Yanjing yet, and you still want to go to Shenzhen?"

Lin Chaoyang made a sarcastic remark and almost got hit by a shoe.

Looking at Comrade Erchun's ambitious look, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: The bigger your heart is, the bigger the stage is!

Lin Chaoyang seemed to see a white dwarf star rising in the real estate industry!
