Rebirth in 1993, My Dad is a Returned Youth

Chapter 123 Father and Daughter Reunited 2
Lin Weihua's snacks did not arouse any interest in Meixia.

However, Liu Lang and Da Huang came over and looked quite interested.

"Uncle Lin, what did you buy?"

Before waiting for anyone's consent, the two started rummaging through the bags.

"There are potato chips, which is not bad. Dahuang, have a chicken drumstick."

"Hey! You two."

Meixia was indifferent, but Li Kang had to keep an eye on his younger brother.

"Uncle Lin hasn't agreed yet."

"~But Uncle Lin bought it for Meixia. Meixia will definitely agree for us to eat it."

"Wang Wang~"

Lin Weihua's face twitched and he was speechless.

"It's okay, they are all Meixia's friends, eat whatever you want."

"Uncle Lin will buy you whatever you want to eat."

"Come to my house tonight, and I'll cook for you."

Meixia didn't react at all to Lin Weihua's invitation. Liu Lang was so busy eating that he didn't respond either.

Only Li Kang, in order to ease the embarrassment and for Meixia to accept Lin Weihua as her father.

Sacrifices were made.

"Okay, Uncle Lin, let's all go to your house tonight."

"Brother Kang!" Meixia pouted, "I——"

"Meixia, you don't have to worry that Kang Ge will abandon you. I tell you, it's impossible. I will visit you whenever I am free."

At the same time, he whispered in her ear: "Go back and live with your father for a while. He will give you pocket money. He will definitely not treat you unfairly. He will also help you with schooling and household registration. Your brother Kang can't help you with these."

"If you feel sorry for Brother Kang, save your pocket money and buy him more nice clothes in the future."

We have to give the little girl some hope and an excuse.

As for whether the feelings will fade in the future.

Li Kang still has confidence that Meixia won't.

Meixia is clingy and loyal.

Who knows, after he goes back, he might really save the money and give it all to him to spend.

Even if he doesn't do well in the future, Meixia will never give up on him.

After hearing this, Meixia had a goal and no longer rejected Lin Weihua.

The old man felt his heart bleed, "How could such a good daughter of mine be fooled around by this boy?"

"Now that I have raised such a grown-up daughter, I am sure she is not raising her for this boy."

The look he gave Li Kang was unfriendly.

Perhaps noticing her old father's gaze, Meixia bravely stood in front of Li Kang.

He looked at him and said, "Dad, you are not allowed to bully my brother Kang."

When Lin Weihua heard Meixia call him Dad again, his heart softened again.

Seeing Meixia is like seeing myself and my first love.

The face looks like him, but the eyebrows and nose are very much like Yuzhu.

Back then, Yuzhu was a famous beauty in the area.

If it weren't for his identity as an educated youth, he would have been attractive.

Otherwise, don’t even think about marrying such a beautiful wife.

The current Luo Linxiang is far inferior to Yuzhu.

He also has a bad temper.

"Meixia, your temper is like your mother's. You can't bear to get angry with people close to you."

He could see that Li Kang had probably made his daughter cry a lot. Meixia actually had no temper at all.

Li Kang knew that he was alluding to him, so he drank the juice bought by Lin Weihua and pretended not to hear.

"Dad, didn't Brother Kang bring the first draft to look at today? You should show it to him. When you sign the contract, give him more royalties."

"My brother Kang is very poor. He spent all his money on the way here, and he used it all to buy food for us."

"Okay, okay, let's take a look now. But the specific payment will depend on the quality of the manuscript."

He also wanted to be fair and just in his work as usual.

But when facing the daughter whom he owed for many years, a glare from her left him speechless.

"Try to give Li Kang a higher fee for his writing."

"The highest standard for manuscript payment in our magazine is 500 yuan per thousand words. Only works at the domestic master level and those that can win the Mao Dun Literature Prize can be paid such a high price."

"Of course, Li Kang, if you can write a work like the Mao Dun Literature Prize, you will be financially free in the future."

The Mao Dun Literature Prize is basically the highest award in domestic literature.

Then there are various lectures, film and television, and stage play adaptations.

Of course, you can earn a few hundred thousand just by selling books.

Nowadays, a few hundred thousand dollars is enough to achieve financial freedom.

"It's an honor for my work to be recognized by Harvest. As for the Mao Dun Literature Prize, I dare not even think about it."

"you are too humble."

Lin Weihua raised his eyes and sat down where they had just been.

"I've read the 6,000-word draft you wrote before. It was already very good. I didn't expect that you would write better and better later."

"Recently, there has been a trend in the literary world, with many works recalling the 'glory days' of the past."

At this point, Lin Weihua gave himself a compliment, "Of course, that's in quotation marks. That experience is actually hard to look back on. I missed too much and left too many regrets."

"Most of the content written by these authors is also venting, and even contains critical meanings."

“But these people overlook the sins they have committed.”

Lin Weihua had a sad expression on his face, and seemed to be truly reflecting on his past mistakes.

"Your film 'Searching for Family' has a very beautiful angle. Those children are the ones who really deserve the attention of the society."

"They are the future of the nation and country, and we are the sinners who should be in chains."

"Uncle Lin, you are serious."

Li Kang quickly stopped his subsequent self-criticism, saying it was unnecessary.

Meixia had no intention of bringing up the past.

It was even more impossible for him to criticize that group of educated youth.

Times are like this, what can mortals do?

"The social productivity at that time could not support so many educated young people to stay in the city, so going to the countryside was almost the only way to solve the problem of surplus labor."

"Uncle Lin, I understand you."

Li Kang just wanted to comfort Lin Weihua, so he casually told her the essence of the matter.

He thought it was nothing, but to Lin Weihua, it sounded like thunder.

Liberal arts students have poorer logical thinking ability, so Lin Weihua asked, "How do you see the essence of the problem?"

"There are so many young people among us, and many of them are still cursing their parents, but no one can figure out the key to this problem."

At least Lin Weihua never knew about it and just thought that those people above were crazy.

Therefore, in recent years, he has signed a number of scar literature works, which is also a way for him to vent his dissatisfaction.

"It's very simple. Everyone needs to work and eat. There are limited jobs in big cities. At that time, every household had at least two children. There were not so many jobs for you. The countryside has vast land and no one has cultivated it yet, so you have a place to use your skills."

"Rather than letting you rot in the city, it is better to plant you in the wasteland, where you can at least produce some fruit."

Li Kang's figurative metaphor made Lin Weihua laugh.
