1987 My Era

Chapter 288, Pet, set a record! (Subscribe!)

After lunch, Li Heng took Xiao Han to the piano room on the second floor of Building 27.

It was Xiao Han's first time here. When she saw the Steinway D247 grand piano, she had a different impression of Zhou Shihe, who looked frail and pitiful.

She had never been exposed to the piano before, but after hearing that her beloved Honey was learning piano last time, she wanted to save some money to buy him a piano as a birthday present.

But when she went back to check the information, she was instantly disappointed.

I don’t want to give her a cheap gift, but she can’t afford a good one.

As for a piano crown like D247, the Xiao family would have to triple their savings to have a chance of getting one.

However, Xiao Han was a person who did not believe in destiny. Even though Zhou Shihe's conditions in all aspects could be regarded as the ceiling among women, she did not feel inferior to her. They were all great beauties. If there were any innate shortcomings, then they could work hard to change their fate.

Li Heng didn’t know what the sinister girl was thinking?
Even if they had lived together for a lifetime, he could not understand her all the time, because this wife was too fickle and the most unpredictable of his three women.

Li Heng moved a stool for Xiao Han to sit on, then said to Yu Shuheng and Zhou Shihe, "I'm ready, let's get started."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe, who was sitting in front of the piano, said nothing. He was still for about 5 seconds, and then his slender fingers began to move rhythmically on the black and white keys.

Zhou Shihe remained focused while playing the piano, with a calm temperament and an indescribable unique charm that was very attractive.

Even Xiao Han had to admit at this moment that women like Zhou Shihe were rare in the world.

And when the violin was added, Xiao Han observed Yu Shuheng again. Her scholarly temperament and artistic style immediately made her a little depressed.

The heavens are playing tricks on him again. Before, there was Song Yu, now there are Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng, and there is also the soul-sucking Mai Sui. Is this to place him in a nest of top beauties?
Even if Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng did nothing, for women, it is dangerous enough if their men hang out with them every day.

This afternoon, Xiao Han had been listening to three people rehearsing "The Original Scenery of Hometown". Sometimes she was full of energy, sometimes worried, and sometimes high-spirited. She was very contradictory throughout the whole process.

The rehearsal ended at 4: pm.

Back in Building 26, Li Heng put the ocarina in the study, then turned to Xiao Han and said, "Wife, let's go. I'll take you back to school."

Xiao Han responded absentmindedly, "Okay."

Li Heng noticed something was wrong, took her hand and asked, "What's wrong? It seems like you haven't recovered yet?"

Xiao Han looked down at the two people holding hands, pursed his lips, and asked pitifully:
"Mr. Li, sometimes I wonder, if we are together in the future and you find that I am not as good as you thought, will you regret it?"

Well, he immediately understood what the problem was. His wife, who had always been the eldest son and his second son, felt the pressure today.

Li Heng held her face, whistled and said, "Why do you regret it? Don't worry, I would never dare to touch women like Teacher Yu and Zhou Shihe.

I can't handle having a wife as smart as you. If I have more, I'll die. How can I live?"

Xiao Han didn't even have time to roll her eyes before she was amused by his cocky look.

"To be honest, I really like seeing you getting jealous. Such opportunities don't come often." Li Heng hugged her tightly with both hands and said happily.

Xiao Han smiled sweetly, put her arms around him, put her head on his chest, and listened to his heartbeat.

After a long time, Li Heng asked: "Why do you ask this question today?"

"There's no reason, I just thought of it at the last minute." Xiao Han said.

Li Heng asked: "If one day, I am not the perfect Li Heng that you have a crush on, what will you do?"

Xiao Han closed his eyes and said, "As long as you still have me in your heart, even if your career is ruined tomorrow, your reputation is ruined, and all the other beauties leave you, I will buy wine to celebrate, because then no one will compete with me for you."

Li Heng asked: "Ah? You want trash too?"

Xiao Han said confidently: "It's fine as long as it can still be used."

Li Heng blinked: "What do you mean by useful? That one?"

Xiao Han was stunned, then blushed, "Mr. Li, you are vulgar!"

Li Heng happily leaned over and kissed her.

Xiao Han raised his head slightly: "Actually, I still hope that you can become the best man in the world, even if all the women in the world like you. I know that Mr. Li loves beautiful women, and we can't lose this hobby, right?"

Li Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes! You are right!"

Xiao Han stepped on her feet and kissed him for the first time. "But even so, you still have to pamper the beautiful Xiao Han, understand?"

"Well, I'll keep it in mind."

“Can’t forget!”

"Don't forget!"

"Oh, it turns out that women in love are hopelessly stupid." Xiao Han complained about herself after a long French kiss with him.

Li Heng laughed loudly, pulled her out of the door, and happily squeezed into the bus.

Building No. 27, attic.

Watching Li Heng and Xiao Han leave hand in hand, Zhou Shihe cut the peeled apple in half, handed it to Mai Sui, then sat down next to them, silently accompanying them without saying anything.

Wheat Ear took the apple and said after a while, "I'm fine."

Zhou Shihe smiled cleverly, put the apple to her mouth and took a small bite.

After a while, Mai Sui asked, "Shihe, have you ever met a boy you fell in love with?"

Zhou Shihe shook his head slightly.

Mai Sui sighed: "You are too outstanding. It is really hard to meet someone who satisfies you."

Zhou Shihe pondered for a while, did not respond, and continued to eat the apple in small bites.

Building No. 25, living room.

Shen Xin walked from the window to the sofa and sat down, crossed his legs and said, "That's Xiao Han?"

Yu Shuheng patiently brewed tea, "It's her."

Shen Xin commented: "It's really good. It will fascinate Xiao Li for a while."

Yu Shuheng looked up: "For a while?"

Shen Xin said: "I have been indulging her for a while. I gave birth to you and raised you until you were 25, but I never even whispered in her ear.

When I was young, I wasn't as useless as you. I took your father in one night, and got you in two nights. How many nights have you had?"

Yu Shuheng laughed, and then said meaningfully: "He dare not touch me."

Shen Xin took out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them on the coffee table. "If you make him sober and he doesn't dare to touch you, that's your incompetence. If you make him sober but he still can't control the urge to touch you, that's called ability! Some things can deceive oneself, but not the truth."

After saying that, Shen Xin left. He came in a hurry and left in an even more relaxed manner.

Yu Shuheng put down the teacup in her hand, picked up the photos and looked at them one by one, and found that they were all photos of herself and him taken on New Year's Day.

Some hugged him, some kissed him on the cheek, some helped him tie his scarf, and some held hands and linked arms with him.

There are countless close-up photos of her facial expressions.
As she watched, Yu Shuheng fell silent.

After sending Xiao Han to Shanghai Medical University, Li Heng did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he treated the girls in dormitory 303 to a big meal in the name of Xiao Han's boyfriend.

Of course, Liu Haiyan was also called.

After the dinner, Xiao Han and Liu Haiyan personally sent him to the bus stop outside the school.

Xiao Han said: "Next time you come over, I will take you to see the tutor."

This mentor refers to Professor Wen Yan.

Li Heng nodded. "Okay, I should. I just wanted to meet her and thank her."

"Ah."

Xiao Han smiled and pointed to the bus coming not far away, "Then I won't take you there. Mr. Li, please be careful on your way."

"Okay, it's getting dark, you two should hurry back to school, don't let me worry." Li Heng followed the crowd and squeezed onto the bus. Xiao Han waved.

Li Heng also waved through the glass and blew her a kiss secretly.

Xiao Han was very embarrassed.

Liu Haiyan laughed like crazy, squatting on the ground and said, "Is this how you usually get along? Li Heng is so brave, so cute."

"cute?"

"cute."

"Cute men are poison!"

After a lot of trouble, Li Heng finally returned to Lushan Village.

There was no light in Building No. 27, and Building No. 26 was also dark. It seemed that Mai Sui and the others had returned to the dormitory.

He looked back at Building 24. There was still no light and Lao Fu was not at home.

However, the lights in Building 25 were on, and Teacher Yu opened the gate like a shark smelling the scent.

"Teacher Yu." He greeted.

Yu Shuheng looked at him and went back into the house.

Li Heng was already accustomed to her indifference. Seeing this, he put the key he had just taken out back into his pocket, followed her into Building 25, and closed the gate.

Going up to the second floor, she pointed to the landline on the coffee table and said, "Twenty minutes ago, someone claiming to be Editor-in-Chief Liao called you. Please call back."

As she spoke, she handed him a piece of paper with a number on it.

Li Heng took a glance at it, then without further ado, sat down and started dialing.

"Jingle Bell"

"Jingle Bell"

While waiting, Yu Shuheng rarely made him a cup of coffee.

Well, she did it by chance, because she wanted to drink it herself.

Li Heng took a sip and felt it was very bitter. "Teacher, is there no sugar added?"

"I added some. I like bitter ones, so I didn't add much." Yu Shuheng pushed a wooden box in front of him. There were clips and sugar cubes of uniform size inside.

Anyway, it's not mine, so I can get it for free. It would be a waste not to eat it. After I eat it, I want to eat more. I even put three pieces of candy into the coffee cup.

Just as he was stirring it, the phone rang and Editor-in-Chief Liao's voice came from inside: "Is that Li Heng?"

"Yes, it's me, Uncle Liao, good evening. Have you eaten?" Li Heng asked hurriedly.

"Not yet. I've been so busy these past two days that I often only eat two meals every three days. Let me tell you something." Editor-in-Chief Liao talked for a while and finally got to the point.

Li Heng listened attentively: "You say."

Editor-in-Chief Liao said: "Next Saturday, which is five days from now, the single volume of Cultural Journey will be on the market. On behalf of Harvest, I will officially tell you."

Li Heng said yes, his tone quite calm.

Editor-in-Chief Liao asked: "Aren't you excited?"

Li Heng replied: "Uncle Liao, there's nothing to get excited about when there's no movie yet."

Editor-in-Chief Liao asked, "What do you want to be excited? Real money?"

Li Heng's little trick was exposed, and he did not pretend: "Hey, rice is expensive in Shanghai, and it's not easy to live in a poor city.

I have old people above me, young children below me, and a family to support. Food and drink cost money, so don’t think I’m vulgar.”

Editor-in-Chief Liao laughed and asked, "How can you be so small?"

Li Heng said calmly, "As the saying goes, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. I don't have any children now, but I will definitely have many in the near future. I have to save some money in advance.

Uncle Liao, you are also a father and a grandfather, so you must understand the sadness in my heart better than I do."

Hearing the word "a lot", Yu Shuheng, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, glanced at him strangely several times.

Editor-in-Chief Liao covered the receiver and said to Mr. Ba next to him, "Did you hear that? You look like a seasoned veteran at such a young age."

Mr. Ba smiled and nodded without expressing any opinion.

After a while, Editor-in-Chief Liao paused and said, "The first subscription data for "Cultural Journey" at Xinhua Bookstore came out in the evening. Can you guess how many subscriptions there were in the first place?"

Li Heng estimated the amount based on newspapers and readers' letters, and guessed, "Is it 5?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao laughed and asked him to guess again.

Li Heng had a rough idea in his mind and increased the quantity: "10 copies."

Editor-in-Chief Liao continued to smile, his voice bright and clear: "Be more confident and courageous."

Li Heng suddenly became anxious and excited, and guessed for the third time: "Could it be that there are more than 15 copies?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao recited the data on the notebook: "As of 6 p.m. today, the final number we have counted is 193789 copies."

Then the other party excitedly sent his blessing: "Congratulations! Li Heng, you set a record!
The first subscription record that the magazine and I could never have imagined!

Just wait and see how the major newspapers will praise you tomorrow."

In the past, Editor-in-Chief Liao is at least 50 years old and would never speak like this or in this tone.

But the first subscription record of more than 19 was too incredible! It was the first time he had seen it in all his years in the industry, so how could he calm down?

193789? ? ?

193789! !! !!

Li Heng was stunned! He thought he had heard wrongly. How could he be so arrogant?

You should know that the famous "Wasted City" in later generations only had more than 17 copies in its first subscription. I surpassed it right from the start, it's simply!

This is so scary!
His mind was in a mess, and he had lost his previous calmness. He swallowed unconsciously and confirmed:
"Uncle Liao, are there really so many?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao said in a very affirmative tone: "Of course, it's genuine. When Xiao Zou handed me the data, Mr. Ba and I were both shocked."

Li Heng was choked and remained silent for a while.

He felt that he was not just a little excited, but extremely excited! His heart was pounding so hard that he was almost suffocating!
Awesome!

Why am I so arrogant?

Li Heng suddenly felt a little thirsty. He drank his own coffee in one breath. Without thinking, he stretched out his right hand, took the coffee on the other side and drank it in one breath.

Under Yu Shuheng's death gaze, he drank it all in one breath.

After drinking, Li Heng, who didn't know what he had done, smacked his lips and asked, "Uncle Liao, are you ready to reprint? We have to race against time, otherwise we will be unable to prevent pirated copies on the market."

He was also anxious. The situation was so good, how could he not be anxious?

It’s all small money!

It's all money!
Editor-in-Chief Liao gave him a reassurance: "We have reprinted it, don't worry. Because readers have been calling for it so loudly before, we have done a lot of preparation this time and we are confident that we can win this battle."

"Okay! I'm waiting for your good news."
