1987 My Era

Chapter 308, Moisturizing things silently (Please subscribe!)
After two rounds of fine-tuning, he added 20% of his own content to the first chapter alone, making the opening look more tense, more infectious, more mysterious and more emotional.

At this moment, he felt secretly happy. Fortunately, he had been a civil servant for 7 years in his previous life. He had plenty of time, read countless books, and accumulated a lot of knowledge.

Fortunately, he loved reading in both of his lives, experienced life and death, and had insights into life and death, which gave him the ability and opportunity to operate on such a famous work.

After resting for a while, he felt a little thirsty, so he reached out for the cup to drink tea, but found that there was not even a water cup, let alone tea.

He wanted to move and drink some water.

But he suppressed the thought the next second, because he knew very well that the writing state was very difficult to come by, and once he left his seat, it would take a long time to come up with the idea.

After exhaling two breaths, Li Heng began his third revision. If the previous works "To Live" and "Cultural Journey" were his works to earn fame and money, then he had great ambitions for this novel. In addition to money and fame, he also wanted to earn honor.

Yes, it is an honor!
Therefore, he planned to devote unprecedented energy to writing this masterpiece, polishing his own new content, striving for excellence, and striving to go to a higher level based on the original work.

It took Li Heng more than three hours to finish the third revision of more than 3 words. He read it through from beginning to end at the end and felt that the effect was quite good and was very satisfied.

"Well!"

Li Heng stretched his arms and yawned, feeling relaxed all over, but he was so hungry that his stomach was growling!

He didn't feel it while writing, but as soon as he stopped, he couldn't stand it anymore and a huge feeling of hunger instantly attacked his heart.

I glanced at the time. Damn it! It was already 7:49.

This sitting lasted for more than 12 hours!
It's outrageous!
He feels like an iron man.

He simply packed up his paper and pen, not even bothering to organize the manuscript, and hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.

At this time, Yu Shuheng and Zhou Shihe were watching TV on the sofa, silent TV, the kind without sound.

Hearing the noise, the two women turned their heads and looked at him.

Li Heng didn't have time to say hello and ran straight to the bathroom.

With a "bang", the bathroom door closed!
The two girls looked at each other, and then Yu Shuheng said, "Shihe, go heat up the food, I'll go into the room and take a look."

"it is good."

Dinner was ready long ago, and the two girls had been waiting. It was dark while they waited, and the food got cold! After 10 days, it snowed heavily outside again!

Zhou Shihe took the dishes to the kitchen.

Yu Shuheng went to the desk first. Pens and ink bottles were scattered on the desk, and manuscripts were stacked up in a mess.

There is a first draft, and there is a second draft that has been refined.

There were writings and drawings on the manuscript, densely covering the entire blank paper. At a quick glance it looked like ghostly graffiti. Only after picking it up and reading it carefully did I understand the meaning and essence of it.

She looked at the first manuscript for a long time, then put it down, picked up the second draft, sat on the chair and started reading.

She had to read it, she was already hooked, the first sentence of the first chapter attracted her.

Why is the male protagonist of the novel proud of having married 7 wives in his life?

Yu Shuheng read on and unknowingly fell into the world of the work, forgetting the time and the purpose of her trip, unable to extricate herself for a while.

Coming out of the bathroom, Li Heng dried his hands, rushed into the kitchen, and said to Zhou Shihe as soon as they met: "Shihe, I'm so hungry!"

In the past, I always called him Comrade Shihe, but now I’m so hungry that I don’t want to talk much, so I just skipped the word Comrade.

Zhou Shihe was prepared for this. The first dish she heated up was Wensi tofu soup. She had already put a bowl of rice on the stove and said gently:

"You haven't eaten for a day. Drink some soup and tofu to fill your stomach first. Don't eat anything hard right away."

"okay."

At this moment, Li Heng had no idea what politeness meant. He reached out to take the bowl, not even using chopsticks, and just leaned over the bowl and started drinking.

Seeing this, Zhou Shihe took a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo basket and handed them to him, "Drink slowly, it's good for your stomach."

"Hmm." Li Heng responded vaguely without moving his mouth away from the bowl.

He kept drinking, drinking in big gulps, until the bottom of the bowl was filled with tofu. Only then did he take the chopsticks and start picking up the tofu.

After finishing the meal, Li Heng licked his lips and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, this soup tastes really good, it's the best soup I've ever had in my life."

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly, and pointed at the four-happiness meatballs with her scallion-white fingers. "Eat this. It's all minced meat, easy to digest. Chew it a few more times. There are two more dishes to heat up. Let's eat right away."

"Hey, that's good."

Seeing the meat, especially the meatballs that looked so good, Li Heng automatically picked up one with his chopsticks and put it in the bowl, then started to eat it with big mouthfuls, enjoying it very much.

While eating, he sincerely praised, "Your cooking skills are better than mine. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed by your ancestors for eighteen generations."

Zhou Shihe smiled cleverly but didn't respond. Her pure black and white eyes stared motionlessly at the glutinous rice and chicken being heated in the pot.

After eating two meatballs in one breath, Li Heng, whose hunger had subsided a little, finally stopped and started to help serve the dishes to the table and use chopsticks to serve the rice.

"Hey, where is Teacher Yu?" Li Heng asked after everything was ready.

Zhou Shihe said: "In our room."

After she finished speaking, she paused, feeling that something was wrong, and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that he had no reaction and his eyes were fixed on the glutinous rice chicken, Zhou Shihe couldn't help laughing. She took off her apron and walked to the second bedroom.

"Teacher, it's time for dinner." She called quietly at the door.

"it is good."

Yu Shuheng responded verbally, but she didn't even raise her head, let alone move. She was watching intently, so why would she want to move? Her response just now was an instinctive reaction.

Zhou Shihe was a little surprised. She looked back at Li Heng who was secretly eating a piece of sticky rice chicken, and wondered if his new book was so good. In a moment, Teacher Yu entered a world of ecstasy.

After waiting for a while, she finally did not enter the room, but returned to the dining table, sat down gracefully, and then put her eyes on his mouth.

Li Heng blinked, "Hey, Comrade Shihe, don't look at me like that, I'm nervous, I didn't cheat."

Zhou Shihe's eyes flashed with a smile, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he asked curiously, "What's the subject of your new book?"

Li Heng replied: "Realistic themes."

Seeing that she was still looking at him and that she was interested, he added, "According to my conception, it is mainly about the grievances between three generations of two major families, showing the historical changes that lasted for more than half a century from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the 1970s and 1980s."

He briefly explained his main ideas, and Zhou Shihe stared into his eyes, somewhat absent-minded for a moment.

After a while, Li Heng finished speaking and stretched out his hand in front of her, jokingly saying, "Am I very talented?"

Zhou Shihe's long eyelashes passively blinked along with his hand, and she smiled without saying anything.

"Alas, if Teacher Yu doesn't come out, I, who is so talented, will starve to death." Li Heng glanced in the direction of the second bedroom.

Zhou Shihe stood up and said, "Then I'll go and shout again."

"No, forget it. It's just over 10,000 words. You can finish reading it in a few seconds. Wait a little longer." Li Heng reached out and grabbed her arm.

The two were stunned and looked at the place where their hands were connected.

Two seconds later, Li Heng let go of her wrist as if it was natural, and said, "Sit down, it should be soon."

"Okay." Zhou Shihe sat down as he was told.

Later, the two of them waited quietly without saying anything.

Three minutes later, Li Heng couldn't help but put a piece of glutinous rice chicken in the bowl, "I feel that this piece of meat is not very good, why don't I eat it first."

Zhou Shihe didn't respond.

Li Heng said: "Please say something, otherwise I will feel embarrassed to eat alone."

Zhou Shihe turned her head away and didn't look at him, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

After a while, Li Heng said shamelessly: "Then I will take this as your consent. I will start eating."

Zhou Shihe still didn't say anything, but he heard a faint sound in his ears.

Half a minute later, Li Heng smacked his lips and said, "I'm done. You can turn around now."

Zhou Shihe looked at him and found that there was an extra piece of glutinous rice and chicken in his bowl.

Li Heng said: "No need to thank me, I just ate two pieces in one go."

Zhou Shihe laughed. It was the first time in all these years that he had seen such a person who could enjoy a meal so much. Two minutes later, there was movement in the second bedroom, and then Teacher Yu came out.

As soon as we sat down, Yu Shuheng said, "It's good. Compared with the first two books, I like this one better. I feel that this one is more fascinating. As soon as I read the beginning, I had the urge to follow you to read on."

Li Heng said thank you.

Yu Shuheng picked up the chopsticks, invited the two to eat, and then asked: "How many words do you plan to write in this book?"

Zhou Shihe looked over. After hearing Teacher Yu's praise, she thought about reading it after she finished eating.

Facing the two women's gazes, Li Heng spoke carefully: "Let's start with 50 words, and the details will depend on the writing situation."

Yu Shuheng was a little surprised: "So long?"

"Well, it's a long novel. I will take a good rest after finishing this one. Meanwhile, I hope it can bring me one or two honors."

Now the three of them were inseparable and had become extremely familiar with each other, so Li Heng didn't hesitate to speak.

Seeing him show his ambition for the first time, Yu Shuheng and Zhou Shihe couldn't help but look at each other, and their expectations for his novel became even stronger.

This dinner almost became his talk show, he kept talking on and on.

The two girls listened attentively, occasionally saying a few words and asking a few questions, until the leftovers were completely cold.

Yu Shuheng looked at him with a faint light in her eyes. After a long while, she spoke: "Shihe, I know you are aroused by the novel. Go wash your hands and go to the room. I will wash the dishes."

Then he said to Li Heng, "It's past 8 o'clock. Go take a shower. When Shi He finishes, the three of us will go for a walk at the entrance of the alley."

"it is good."

Li Heng and Zhou Shihe stood up and did their own things.

Yu Shuheng's eyes followed his back. At this moment, she, who had not yet completely walked out of the world in the book, finally understood the feelings of her best friend Runwen.

There really are geniuses in this world!
Teacher Yu thought so.

More than 15 words seemed to be read very quickly, and it took less than minutes to go through it carefully. But after finishing, Zhou Shihe felt a sense of loss because there was nothing left to read. She sat on the sofa for a long time, and then slowly read it from beginning to end.

After finishing the second reading, Zhou Shihe put the manuscript back to its original place and helped tidy up the messy desk.

She now understood a little bit, and understood why Sui Sui couldn't control herself.

After tidying up the room and cleaning the floor, Zhou Shihe walked out and saw Li Heng doing push-ups.

Yu Shuheng was sitting on the sofa next to her, holding a cup of coffee in her hand and drinking it elegantly in small sips.

Seeing Zhou Shihe, she asked, "Shihe, would you like a drink?"

Zhou Shihe shook his head slightly, "No, I can't sleep at night."

".57, 58, 59, 60."

After doing 60 reps, Li Heng let out a long sigh, stood up and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Let's go." Yu Shuheng finished the rest of the coffee, opened an umbrella, and was the first to leave the yard.

The snow was still falling outside, hitting the ground layer by layer, densely packed.

Zhou Shihe also took an umbrella and asked him if he wanted one.

Li Heng waved his hand and refused, "I like snowy days. Although I am often frozen to death, I just have a special liking for it."

This made Yu Shuheng think of a person. It also reminded Zhou Shihe of a person.

Walking out along the alley, the three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the alley. At this time, the road was full of traffic, even more lively than they had imagined.

Yu Shuheng said with emotion: "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Many shops are closed, but many shops are doing more business than ever before."

Li Heng asked: "Teacher, do you miss home?"

Yu Shuheng shook her head. "I don't miss it too much. I've been at home for so many years. This is the first time I'm spending the New Year away from home. It feels new."

She asked Zhou Shihe, "Shihe, what about you?"

Zhou Shihe hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm fine. I just miss grandma a little bit. She's not in good health."

Li Heng felt a little guilty and said, "I'll take you back after we have the New Year's Eve dinner on the first day of the new year."

Yu Shuheng shook her head: "The teacher didn't buy plane tickets for the first day of the new year. They are all for the morning of the second day. I will take Shihe there.

Li Heng, you are so busy writing, and there are so many things going on at home, go back and deal with them first, and then come out early to write with peace of mind. "

Zhou Shihe also agreed with this: "Teacher and I are on the same route, Li Heng, why don't you fly directly to Changsha, we'll meet on the 9th."

Seeing the two women's serious expressions and thinking that he really had a lot of things to do, Li Heng hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

After walking around for half an hour, Li Heng was covered with a thick layer of snow. Finally, Zhou Shihe gave him the umbrella, and she shared the umbrella with Teacher Yu.

When I got home, it was already past 9 o'clock, which was quite late.

Li Heng shook off the snow on his body, walked in and asked Yu Shuheng: "Teacher, I plan to go to Teacher Wang's house in the first month of the year. Do you have anything you want me to bring back?"

Yu Shuheng said expressionlessly: "No, I don't plan to see her on such a festive day as the New Year, and don't mention her to me."

"what?"

Li Heng was a little confused. Why did Teacher Yu, who just said he had a talk, suddenly change his expression?
Are you going to have a fight with Teacher Wang again?

After drinking a cup of hot tea and chatting with the two girls for a few words, Li Heng went back into the room. He felt good today and wanted to strike while the iron was hot and write the second chapter.

As for how many words he could write for the second chapter? He didn't set a limit, and he wrote as many as he could without any burden.

After 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Shihe walked in quietly after washing up.

He was so careful that he even closed the door inch by inch so as not to make any noise.

Noticing her caution, Li Heng said with a smile: "It's not that precious. Just do what you need to do as usual."

Zhou Shihe smiled silently, then walked towards the head of the bed under his gaze, but she stopped halfway.

After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and came to his desk, and asked gently, "While you are writing, what does Mai Sui usually do for you?"

Li Heng said: "Occasionally he would refill my cup of tea."

Zhou Shihe asked: "No more?"

Li Heng said: "No more."

Zhou Shihe was a little surprised: "I haven't read your works?"

Reading works? The first person he thought of was his high school English teacher, and as for Mai Sui, he said: "Sometimes, Mai Sui would keep a distance from me."

As smart as Zhou Shihe is, he understood it almost immediately.

In the past, before Mai Sui's thoughts were exposed, she did not stay with him in the study for some psychological reasons.

After her thoughts were exposed, Mai Sui usually waited in the living room due to psychological pressure and guilt, and would not easily enter the study room unless he called her.

To sum it up in one sentence: Mai Sui put a layer of shackles on herself, getting close to him but not too close.

Because as time went by and she grew older, she gradually understood something from the eyes of the opposite sex around her: passion! desire! charm!

Mai Sui knew her own situation and had an extraordinary appeal to men. There were a few times when they were close to each other for a long time, and Li Heng couldn't help but reach out and want to hug her waist, but he controlled himself well.

If she and he stayed in a closed space for too long, she was afraid that it would affect Li Heng, affecting his writing and thinking. She was afraid that at some point his emotions would outweigh his rationality and he would cross the line.

The conservative Mai Sui did not distrust him, but she could not convince herself.

As for the relationship between him and Mai Sui, Zhou Shihe naturally didn't say much, but just said gently: "If you need my help, you can call me."

"Okay, thank you." Li Heng thanked him.
