1987 My Era

Chapter 129, the great writer Li Heng is the meat of Tang Monk, a hot commodity (please subscribe!)

Time is a ruler that measures people, hearts and distance; the human heart is a scale that weighs lightness, heaviness and emotions.

Even though they haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, Zhao Jing's feelings for Li Jianguo remain unchanged.

Although she was considerate and caring towards her husband after marriage, she never concealed her feelings for Li Jianguo. She was frank about it before marriage and did not deliberately avoid it after marriage.

On the contrary, Li Li has a mixture of love and hate towards Li Jianguo, and more of envy towards him.

But Li Li and Zhao Jing have never quarreled about this, and sometimes they even tease each other about it.

The 11 a.m. bus passes through Huixian County, Huamen, Liuduzhai, Jianhua, Qijiang and Yangguao.

The next stop is our destination, Simenqian Town.

As soon as the car entered the town, Zhao Jing couldn't help but roll down the window and look out. After a long while, she said to Li Heng beside her: "I haven't been here for more than 20 years, and it feels the same as before."

Li Heng feels the same way. "The town is remote and people are conservative. Even if the outside world is undergoing tremendous changes in response to the call for reform and opening up, it won't affect here in the short term."

Zhao Jing thought it made sense, and asked with concern: "How are your parents? Have they changed a lot?"

Li Heng was surprised: "Auntie, have you never received a photo of my mother?"

Zhao Jing shook her head and sighed: "Ever since your father was fired from his public office, she has never sent any photos again. It's been many years."

As they were chatting, the bus pulled into the station and stopped at the side of the road. Before getting off the bus, Zhang Zhiyong, who was looking around, pulled Li Heng:
"Lao Heng, your mother is at the entrance of the post office."

Following the stupid line of sight, Li Heng really saw his biological mother, Comrade Tian Run'e. As luck would have it, she was standing next to the dark green mailbox and chatting with Wei Shiman.

Li Heng muttered to himself: When did these two become so talkative?

In the past, their relationship was purely a business one, one selling rice and the other buying rice, and there was nothing else to talk about.

After talking to Zhao Jing and Li Ran, Li Heng quickly got out of the car and headed straight for the post office entrance: "Mom, why are you here?"

Suddenly hearing her son's voice, Tian Run'e was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and said with a warm smile, "Manzai, you're back. Mom just called your Aunt Zhao Jing, but the call didn't go through."

Before she finished her words, she spotted Zhao Jing and her daughter crossing the road, and immediately ran over to greet them: "Zhao Jing? Am I seeing right? You're here."

Tian Run'e looked happy when she said this. She suddenly met an old friend whom she hadn't seen for many years. Her eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

"I just came back from Gansu and came to see you and Jianguo."

"Are you moving back to Shonan?"

"Yes, Li Li is gone. I have nothing to worry about over there, so I plan to come back to live there in my old age. Are you welcoming, Run'e?"

"You're only 50, and you're already talking about retirement. Isn't that a little too early?"

Once the topic started, the two best friends were so excited that they kept talking non-stop, so much so that Wei Shiman at the door of the post office was forgotten.

Fearing that his future mother-in-law would be embarrassed, Li Heng took the initiative to greet Wei Shiman: "Auntie, good afternoon."

"Hey, good afternoon, Li Heng. Did you just come back from outside?" Wei Shiman looked at him and asked casually.

"Yes, I went for a walk outside."

Li Heng was halfway through his words when he saw Xiao Han coming out of the post office. "Old classmate, congratulations on being admitted to Shanghai Medical University."

In front of others, Xiao Han was a pretentious girl with outstanding grace, calmness and self-control. She hummed lightly and said to Wei Shiman, "Mom, I'm hungry. Let's go home and eat."

Seeing her daughter's look of not wanting strangers to enter, Wei Shiman smiled apologetically at Li Heng, turned around and followed her daughter out of the area.

On the way back, Wei Shiman asked, "Didn't I tell you before that you shouldn't be so cold when you see Li Heng? He greeted you, so you should at least say hello politely."

Xiao Han smiled and said crisply, "I am a person who is secretly in love with nothing to fear."

Wei Shiman was choked up, and after a while asked, "Where did you learn this?"

Xiao Han replied: "It's in the book."

Wei Shiman scolded, "Even if she has a crush on you, you should be nicer. We are all from the same town and you are classmates. You should at least be nice to her."

Xiao Han turned his head strangely, "Mom, when did you become so easy to talk to?"

Wei Shiman said: "The sales of his novel To Live have exceeded one million copies. He is now a serious writer."

Xiao Han asked: "Do you like his novels?"

Wei Shiman shook her head. "I only watched it once. It was too tragic and I didn't want to watch it a second time. But your dad watched it several times."

Xiao Han's eyes lit up and she said encouragingly, "Since you like divorced men so much, why don't you talk to dad about it and I'll accept him. You can get both the man and the money, killing two birds with one stone."

Wei Shiman didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, alright, I know you don't like him, so I won't mention him anymore."

...

Now that she had money, Tian Run'e, who was born a young lady, immediately became different in spirit and spirit. She had always been frugal, so in order to entertain this best friend whom she hadn't seen for more than 20 years, she gritted her teeth and bought a lot of precious mountain products. She also searched the market and bought several kilograms of the best beef.

She also felt sorry for her husband and eldest daughter, who had to wear the same old clothes day after day, in the wind and rain. So she went to the cloth store and bought six feet of cloth to make a new set of clothes for them.

As for her second daughter and Xiao Manzai, Tian Run'e did not worry about them anymore. She keenly noticed that the two children did not like custom-made clothes, and preferred to buy fashionable and ready-made clothes in the garment market, so she just left it to them.

As in the past, when Li Heng and his party arrived at the village entrance from the town, they heard someone shouting:
"Hey, the college students are back, and this time they're real college students."

Speaking of Shangwan Village, this time it was a big deal, three college students came out at once, one from Tsinghua University, one from Fudan University, and Zhang Zhiyong was also admitted to Shanghai, which immediately became a big news that shocked the whole area.

Especially when Yang Yingwen won the provincial science title, the impact was even greater. Not only did everyone talk about her after dinner, but many parents even brought their children to travel several miles to learn from her. Not only did people from the village, but also people from the town and even people from the neighboring town rushed over after hearing about her.

Yang's father finally gained some face this time, and at the instigation of a group of neighbors in the village, he was happily preparing to hold a graduation banquet and collect some gift money, even if it was just one dollar or one dollar and twenty cents from each household. With so many people contributing, the money would be at least a hundred dollars, enough to cover the wages earned in the first half of the year.

but…

Early in the morning, when Father Yang, who was overjoyed by the villagers' praise, had just finished slaughtering the pig, Mother Yang came running to him breathlessly and told him:

"Dad, Xiao Si is missing."

Yang Yingwen is the fourth child in the family and his nickname is Xiaosi.

Father Yang didn't take it seriously at first. He didn't care where his daughter went or how she felt. He only cared whether the banquet was good enough and how much gift money would be collected. He immediately scolded:
"It's gone, it's gone! What are you doing making such a fuss, you bitch? Can you fly?"

Mother Yang cried out in a low voice: "But all the clothes in the house are gone. I'm afraid he ran away!"

"Run? Where can you run to?" Father Yang said this, but he suddenly became anxious. He put down the butcher knife in his hand and hurried into the room where his youngest daughter usually lived.

It would have been fine if I hadn't gone in. Once I went in, my head started buzzing and I felt very dizzy.

At first glance, the room looked cleaner than if it had been licked by a dog.

When she opened the clothes box, she found that all the decent clothes were gone. It was obvious that Yang Yingwen didn't want her father to gain fame under her name, so she fled from the Yang family overnight.

"Chase! Chase!" Yang's father, who was so angry that he vomited blood, pinched the leaf cigarette in his mouth, gave orders ruthlessly, and chased towards the town.

He just couldn't believe that a woman would dare to pass by a cemetery in the middle of the night.
There was no human habitation for several miles around that place, let alone an unmarried girl. Even at his age, he would not dare to walk that road alone at night.

They chased the man all the way to the town, but failed to catch him. Instead, Yang's father became a clown in the surrounding area.

Now the pig was killed in vain and the banquet could not be held. Yang's father, who had only enjoyed his glory for three days, walked with his head down, for fear that the neighbors would stop him and laugh at him.

Because of this, many village women gossiped behind her back: "Hey! You reap what you sow. You treated her badly at first, but now you want to show off. But Yang Yingwen is not a fool. Look at him for almost 20 years. Who can satisfy you?"

Based on his memories from his previous life, Li Heng knew where Yang Yingwen had gone, and he must be at the Xiao family now.

But Xiao Hai was the former town secretary, and in a mountainous place like the Xuefeng Mountains, he was definitely a big shot. Old farmers like Yang's father who had never seen the world could jump around and show off their power in front of his wife at home, but in front of the Xiao family, he dared not even breathe or fart, and left after asking a few questions in a muffled voice outside the door.

Admission letters these days were all sent to the town post office. With Wei Shiman able to intercept the admission letters, Yang Yingwen had no reason to worry that his father would do anything bad.

Zhang Zhiyong was stunned when he heard such a big news as soon as he returned to the village. He finally gave him two thumbs up: "Old Rag is awesome! Awesome! So awesome! I admire him for the rest of my life!"

Grandma Li Heng is back, and her second aunt and cousin are also there.

As soon as he got home, his family gathered around him and shouted, "Xiao Heng, you're back."

The second aunt took Li Heng and looked left and right, sideways and vertically, and said to Tian Run'e with joy:
"Sister-in-law, what did I say at the beginning? I've always said that Xiaoheng was very good-looking since he was a child. Look, he's so handsome. All the essence of our Li family is in him."

Li Heng showed some shyness and called her "Second Aunt" affectionately.

Manzai was her own flesh and blood, and she had treasured him since he was young. When Tian Run'e heard that her sister-in-law, who usually didn't like to praise others, loved her son so much, she was very happy and replied with a smile:

"Xiao Man is not bad either. She looks like you, tall and graceful. She is a beauty."

My little cousin’s surname is Shen, and her full name is Shen Man.

Tian Run'e's statement is obviously exaggerated. Shen Man is at most a little pretty, and is still a long way from being a "beauty". But Hua Huaqiaozi is praised by everyone, and who doesn't like to hear good things?

My sister-in-law married well. Her husband is a section-level cadre. He is not as good as the rich, but more than enough. This is why she took the initiative to take her frail mother to live with her when she saw that her brother's family was in difficult conditions.

The aunt held Li Heng's hand and chatted for a long time about family matters, all of which were about the college entrance examination and writing. It was not until ten minutes later, when Li Jianguo came back from the fields, that her attention finally turned to Zhao Jing and Li Ran, mother and daughter.

Li Heng was relieved immediately, and hurried to his grandmother to show his courtesy, "Grandma, you are finally back. I missed your precious grandson so much."

Grandma had long been accustomed to her grandson's sweet talk. Whenever he wanted to get food or drinks when he was a child, he would definitely hold her hand tightly, shake it left and right, and call her "Grandma" over and over again.

Grandma reached out and touched his face, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, and said lovingly, "Grandma heard about your deeds, not bad! Not bad!

Our Li family has a successor now. In the future, I will have the dignity to meet your grandfather in the underworld."

Her grandson has made great progress, has been admitted to university, and is a great writer. How can she not be happy? She has been so excited recently that she can't sleep every night. After breakfast every day, she visits the neighbors in a grand manner. She loves to hear the neighbors praise her grandson for being so great.

Every time at this time, grandma would keep a kind smile, not say much, but just prick up her ears to take in the compliments from others.

On the other side of the room, Zhao Jing saw Li Jianguo again after 20 years. She looked at Li Jianguo's weathered face, the gray hair on his temples, and the mud on his trouser legs. She choked up for a moment, but still smiled and said hello:

"Jianguo, long time no see."

"Long time no see, you're back." Li Jianguo put down the hoe in his hand and hurriedly poured tea for the mother and daughter.

"No need, Yoona has already poured the tea."

"It's okay. It's hot. Leave it here first. You can drink it later."

Li Ran had long been in spiritual contact with this beloved person of his mother. He looked at Li Jianguo seriously, then side-glanced at Li Heng, and finally whispered to Li Heng:
"Your dad is pretty good-looking, but it's a pity that he lives in the countryside. Otherwise, he would have a more mellow temperament and would be a really handsome uncle."

Comrade Li Jianguo must be good-looking, otherwise how could Zhao Jing have been obsessed with him for so many years?

Li Ran continued, "But he's not as good-looking as you. He's not worthy of your mother in terms of looks alone."

Wow! That's really fucking direct.

Fortunately, Li Heng had long been accustomed to this girl's temperament and knew that she had no ill intentions, so he joked:
"That's right. My mother was determined not to do it at first. She didn't think highly of my father."

Li Ran probed: "Then how did you agree to it? Tell me quickly."

Li Heng shook his head: "Don't ask me about this. I'm more curious than you. But Aunt Zhao should know some inside information. You can start with her."

His eyes stayed on his mother for a while, and Li Ran asked eagerly, "Really?"

Li Heng said: "It's genuine, if you find out, remember to share it with me."

Li Ran said generously: "No problem."

After chatting with her husband and Zhao Jing for a long time while cooking dinner, Tian Run'e's expression changed as soon as she entered the backyard. She took the opportunity to be alone with her and showed her fangs to her beloved son for the first time:
"You evil-minded ungrateful bastard, your mother hasn't let you eat and drink well these years? Why did you bring Zhao Jing home? Did you just want to make things difficult for me because you saw that my life was getting better?" "Mom, I am innocent!"

Li Heng smiled bitterly and defended himself: "I didn't bring Aunt Zhao back. I came back from Dujiangyan, Sichuan Province via Yongzhou, while Aunt Zhao came directly back to Shao City from Gansu."

Tian Run'e looked him in the eye and asked, "Why are you going to Dujiangyan?"

"Of course there is something wrong." Li Heng quickly changed the subject and talked about his writing.

Hearing that her son had a new inspiration and was writing a new novel, Tian Run'e's depression was immediately swept away, and she said warmly: "Let me see the manuscript tonight."

"Okay." Li Heng responded.

Tian Run'e looked back at the people in the hall outside, her expression suddenly became extremely serious, and she lowered her voice and said:
"From their appearance, they are both ruthless people. Manzi, remember to stay away from them and their daughter."

Li Heng almost immediately understood what his mother was worried about?
I guess she noticed the scene of me and Li Ran whispering in the corner just now, and she was afraid that I would get entangled with Li Ran.

Li Heng was speechless. "You just don't trust me? Is my taste that bad?"

In fact, Li Ran is not bad. The wild aura in her may have a fatal attraction to certain men, but you have to consider who you are comparing with, right?

Not to mention comparing with Song Yu, Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.

Even compared with Chen Lijun, Li Ran is far inferior. He has no interest at all.

Tian Run'e observed for a while and then believed what her son said.

Yes, Manzai has been a picky eater since he was young. He has always been close to the good-looking Chen Zijin. He and Yang Yingwen often fight and quarrel over trivial matters, and sometimes they even fight in groups. They treat each other differently.

Of course, the reason why she was so cautious just now was entirely because she was preparing for a rainy day as a mother.

Zhao Jing was really amazing. She spent 20 years to suck a strong man dry. She felt her scalp tingling just thinking about it. It was unbelievable. She once doubted how human desire could be so strong.
There are my sister-in-law and cousin at home, and now there are new guests. Tian Run'e is quite generous. There are 9 bowls of dinner, including chicken, meat, soup, and vegetarian dishes. It is comparable to the Chinese New Year, very rich.

While eating the meat, Li Heng thought to himself that his family was currently burning kilns and building houses, which was very expensive, and more than half of the 3800 yuan would have to be spent. Comrade Tian Run'e must be heartbroken and would not be generous anymore.

Let's go to the post office tomorrow to get some more and give them to the nanny. Anyway, he will receive hundreds of thousands of royalties in the future, so he will be a wealthy man.

Everyone drank some rice wine at dinner, even Li Jianguo, who usually took care of his health and didn't drink alcohol, had a sip of half a cup.

So much so that Tian Run'e later joked with him, "My old lover is here, and we're drinking. I don't usually see you drinking with me."

Li Jianguo laughed cheerfully and didn't take it seriously. He hugged his wife from behind and said, "I wanted to drink with you, but you wouldn't let me."

"Let me go, aren't you ashamed? You're so old, but you still behave like a young kid. I think Manzai is just like you, he can tease girls at such a young age." Tian Run'e said this, but her heart was as sweet as if she had drunk honey.

In the past few years, the family was in a difficult situation. Although the couple was a little poor materially, they were quite full in spirit. This is why they supported each other and got through it all.

"Who's talking bad about me?"

Just as the two were hugging each other warmly, Li Heng inappropriately opened the door a crack and poked his head in: "Mom, is it you?"

Being caught by her son, Tian Run'e was not as thick-skinned as her father and son. She immediately pretended to be brave and said, "Go, bring your manuscripts here, let your father and I take a look."

Li Heng was here to deliver the manuscript. Upon hearing this, he immediately opened the door and entered, stuffed the manuscript into his mother's hands, then picked up a pack of plasters and said:

"This medicine was given to dad by Chen Xiaomi. Dad, please try it and see if it works."

"What kind of medicine is this?"

"I don't know the ingredients, but I heard that it was obtained from an old famous doctor who specializes in treating dad's spinal disease."

Tian Run'e picked up the plaster and put it to her nose to smell it, then frowned: "Is Chen Xiaomi so kind? Hasn't she always hated our family?"

Knowing that his mother would ask this question, Li Heng stopped talking nonsense and told her everything that happened in the capital.

During the process, my second sister Li Lan, grandmother, and aunt also came in and sat aside to listen.

It took about 10 minutes to finish. Li Heng said, "I suggest that Dad try it. After all, it is pure Chinese medicine and the side effects will not be too serious. If it really works, we will go to Beijing."

Compared with his father's life, he no longer cared about his face. If it continued to be delayed like in his previous life, Comrade Li Jianguo would only have eight years to live.

It is said that long illness makes one a doctor. Li Jianguo, who has read many medical books, was checking the plaster and did not speak for a while.

Tian Run'e glanced at her husband and asked her son, "Manzi, did Chen Xiaomi really say those soft words?"

Li Heng said frankly: "Mom, you don't know what kind of personality I have. What I said just now was not false at all."

Just as Tian Run'e was about to turn around and discuss the matter with her husband, Li Lan spoke up, "Why are you hesitating? Why do you care about your reputation? Can it make a living? Regardless of whether it works or not, go to the capital."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Li Lan said sternly, "Even if I don't trust Chen Xiaomi, I can trust Chen Gaoyuan a little. With his endorsement, it won't harm my father. Anyway, we should try our best. If he is cured, I will buy a gift and go to thank Chen Xiaomi in person."

Second Aunt interrupted: "I agree with Lanlan's point of view. Big brother's health is more important. Let's put hatred and grudges aside for now."

Grandma nodded and said, "Jianguo, try putting it on."

Everyone agreed, and Tian Run'e didn't say anything more. She carefully tore off the outer skin of the plaster, helped her husband apply it, and put three pieces on his back in a row.

After the plaster was applied, the second aunt turned to Li Heng and said, "Xiao Heng, what is your relationship with the Chen family like now?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him.

Li Heng said: "I only had two meals with Uncle Chen and Chen Xiaomi, and did not go to Chen's house."

After hearing this, everyone understood.

After a moment of silence, Tian Run'e handed the manuscript to her husband, got up and went to the backyard to greet Zhao Jing and her daughter who were taking a bath.

There were too many people in the family and there was no room for them to rest. Later, grandma and my second aunt and her daughter went to my eldest sister's house to spend the night, and Li Heng went to Zhang Zhiyong's house to spend the night, and only then did a bed become vacant.

Old Li's family is working in a brick kiln. The smell of burning coal can be smelled from half a mile away. The bright red brick kiln shines brightly in the night, so eye-catching and so enviable. The villagers are very puzzled: We all use hoes to weed, so why didn't I give birth to a son like him?

Late in the evening, just as I fell asleep at Zhang's house, Yang's mother came to the door and called: "Li Heng, Zhiyong, open the door."

Zhang Zhiyong opened the door and asked, "Aunt, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Mother Yang was a little depressed. As soon as she entered the room, she asked Li Heng: "Li Heng, you are very close to my Xiao Si. Do you know where she ran off to?"

Li Heng knew what was going on, but he couldn't ruin his old friend's plan. After all, he couldn't stand Yang's father's behavior. "Aunt, I don't know. I just came back from outside and wanted to go play with Ying Wen, but I didn't expect this to happen."

Yang's mother, who had come here to try her luck, almost cried, "She doesn't have any money, where can she go? I hope nothing happens to her."

Hearing this, Li Heng felt a little sad for her, but knowing that she was a soft-hearted woman, he held back and didn't say anything, "Aunt, don't be sad, I'll ask your classmates later to see if they know. If there is any situation, I will tell you the first time."

"Well, this is the only way." Mother Yang sighed and left.

When the people walked away, Zhang Zhiyong jumped up and said, "That's right, Old Rag has no money, so he has to live under someone else's roof, right?"

Li Heng shook his head: "That's not the case. Xiao Han's family still respects her. She is the provincial champion, not just some nobody."

Zhang Zhiyong's eyes widened: "Uncle Heng, are you sure she is at the Xiao family?"

Li Heng asked back: "Where else can she go?"

Zhang Zhiyong said: "She can also go to Xiao Feng's house."

Li Heng asked: "How dare you cross Zengjiaao alone in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Zhiyong stammered and said nothing.

Nowadays, there are less than 10 people in the huge Shangwan Village who dare to cross Zengjiaao in the middle of the night, and the vigorous Li Lan is one of them.

midnight.

After reading the essay written by Manzai, Tian Run'e said with tears in her eyes: "It's really well written. Manzai is better than both of us in this aspect. He is very talented."

Li Jianguo also finished reading it and said proudly: "God has been very kind to us."

Isn't it true? The Li family can produce such a scholar. Li Jianguo will not only be dismissed from his public office and have a bad spine, but even if he is allowed to die now, he will die with peace of mind.

Tian Run'e stretched the manuscript with her hands for a while, then turned to look at her husband and said, "It's been almost five hours, how do you feel?"

"At the beginning I felt hot and a little itchy, but now I feel much more comfortable and it doesn't hurt as much." Li Jianguo expressed his feelings truthfully.

Tian Run'e hurriedly asked: "You mean, it works?"

Li Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "It can only be said to be temporary. The specific effect will have to wait and see."

Tian Run'e seemed to see hope: "It's good if there is a response, it's good if there is a response! I have consulted so many doctors, many of whom are just scammers. Taking so many medicines will only damage your body."

There seemed to be a glimmer of improvement in the condition. The couple were in a good mood and chatted quietly at the bedside, not getting any sleep all night.

Tian Run'e has been getting more and more happy recently. Her youngest son is a great writer who can make a lot of money, has fame and reputation, and is also a college student. Her second daughter is also doing well and has plenty of money. Now, she can hear flattery from people inside and outside the village.

Even if she goes to town now, people will point at her back and say, "Look, that's Li Heng's mother."

She continued to sell rice as usual, but no one would compete with her for the position. Her competitors also became friendlier to her, chatting with her about family matters and asking her for advice on parenting.

Anyway, her rice is now bought up almost as soon as it hits the ground. Even if the color is not as bright as others, buyers still pay a high price for it. This really makes her feel different from the past.

Everything was going in a good direction, and her life was filled with hope and expectation again.

Recently, many people came to inquire about marriage, but they all mentioned the second daughter. As for Manzai, no one dared to make plans easily.

The only time someone introduced Li Heng to a matchmaker was when the village secretary came in person and said that his sister's granddaughter had just graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University and was assigned to a Shanghai government department. He asked the Li family if they were interested.

The secretary came with photos and said that the girl's family was well-off and did not want any dowry, which showed his sincerity.

Tian Run'e took it and looked at the girl. She was really attracted by her beauty.

But thinking of her relationship with Chen Zijin's daughter and the "Song Yu" that Manzai called out in his dreams, she had no choice but to politely refuse.

For this reason, the secretary sighed for a long time.

When they got home, the secretary's wife was a little unhappy: "It's true that Li Heng is excellent, but my sister's family is in Shanghai, and her granddaughter is also pretty. We didn't mind that he slept with Chen Zijin, but she doesn't like this? Isn't it obvious that she is looking down on him?"

The village secretary shook his pipe and said, "It's too late. Actually, I didn't have any strong thoughts before I came to your house."

If Xinyun hadn't fallen in love with Li Heng the last time she came back to visit, and if my elder sister hadn't asked me to try to ask, I wouldn't have mentioned it myself."

Wang Xinyu is the granddaughter of the village secretary’s sister.

The secretary's wife said angrily, "Isn't he just a great writer? Don't you dare mention him?"

The secretary said calmly, "It's just that he is a great writer. He is very rare and more precious than the stars in the sky."

The secretary's wife looked up at the sky and said, "There are so many stars in the sky, what's so precious about them? They are not the moon."

The secretary was smoking a pipe and said, "Look, you are a woman who can't read and write, so you make such a fool of yourself. In this universe, the moon is not as good as the stars."

The secretary's wife didn't understand what was going on and asked, "Then why did you tell your sister about this? It's embarrassing to be rejected. I'm too embarrassed to tell her."

The secretary took a few puffs of his cigarette, blew out two circles and said, "What's so embarrassing about saying it? If she asks me, I'll tell her the truth. If she doesn't ask me, I'll just forget about it."

The secretary is of some use here.
