I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 249
Looking at the description in the article, the old man smiled and watched these children finish eating the candied haws,

Then it was late and they all went home.

The man who is the reader paused with his wife before continuing to turn the page and read.

……

The plot continues.

By night.

The old man and his son and daughter-in-law sat at the same table for dinner.

The son and daughter-in-law kept talking about something, but the old man kept his head down and ate dinner in silence.

After the son and daughter-in-law had finished speaking, the old man raised his head again,
"Dad, what's the matter, tell me."

The son looked at the appearance of the old man Xu Deen and asked actively.

"...I want some money."

"Dad, what do you want money for..."

The old man said and lowered his head again.

The son asked subconsciously, followed by looking at the old man's appearance, and then paused again,

"Then Dad, after your house was demolished, you still have to pay a transition fee every month. I'll give you all the money."

The son said so out loud.

The daughter-in-law was drinking the porridge in silence, with her head down, but she didn't say anything about it.

"It's not that much, just give me a few hundred yuan... I just want to have some money in my pocket... I want to do something and have some money in my pocket."

The old man said so.

The son nodded, then groped around on his body, and then asked his daughter-in-law to get it,

First took a few hundred yuan and handed it to the old man,

"Then I'll get you some every month after that."

The son handed the money to the old man.

The old man took it, lowered his head, held it in his hand, and put it in his trouser pocket again.

At the dining table, the three people sitting next to dinner,

Just quieter than before.

"...Dad, do you want to eat more?"

"No."

"Then I'll go and wash the pot."

So the night passed.

The story in the article is still going on.

An old man with hundreds of dollars,

Rarely spend this money on themselves,
Occasionally, I buy a few bunches of candied haws and snacks for my son, daughter-in-law and neighbor’s children.
Seeing these children happy, he also showed some smiles on his face,

Occasionally when his grandson came back, he would pass some food bought in advance to his grandson when he was in his son’s and daughter-in-law’s house.

But the grandson is old and married, so he rarely comes back.

I ate too much food outside, and the old man thought that my grandson still likes to eat those things, but I don't like it that much.

Only the old man's memory seems to be still in his grandson's childhood.

"...Xiaohao, when you leave later, take that box of milk with you. I can't drink that much here. It hasn't been opened yet."

"No need, grandpa, if I want to drink, I can just buy it myself, grandpa, just keep it for yourself and drink it."

"Xiaohao, take it with you."

"No need, grandpa, it doesn't cost much if I buy it myself. If I want to drink, I can buy it myself. Grandpa, keep it for yourself."

This is a conversation when the grandson came back to the house and was about to leave,

The grandson felt helpless towards the old man carrying a box of milk,

The son and daughter-in-law next to him also persuaded.

"Yeah...Dad, it's not convenient for Xiaohao to take this box of milk for you, so you can keep it for yourself, and he will buy it himself if he wants to drink."

"Dad, you can keep it for yourself and get him something."

In the end, the old man bought the box of milk specially for his grandson, but did not send it out.

He just stood in the yard carrying a box of milk, watching his grandson gradually walk away, then carried it again, and went back in silence.

In the text,

The plot goes further down,
After the old man asked for some money,

His son did give him some money now and then,

It's just that the son sometimes forgets to give it, but the old man never asks again.

Just took a hoe, went to the riverside of the original village, and plowed a few small fields in the corners of the river, planting some vegetables and food.

Waiting for the vegetables to be harvested and sold, you can also earn some money.

On this day, the old man took advantage of his son and daughter-in-law to go out to work, so he carried a hoe and went to the small vegetable fields he had reclaimed to pull weeds in the vegetable fields.
On the way, I ran into an acquaintance and said hello.

But when the old man finished his busy work and returned to the house, he found his son, daughter-in-law and his wife waiting for him by the yard.
The couple were anxious and angry, and shouted at the old man,

"Dad, have you sneaked into the field!"

"If Old Uncle Yang hadn't told us, we wouldn't know about it. You said you are so old, why are you still in the field!"

"If this falls out anyway, who will be responsible!"

The son and daughter-in-law angrily reprimanded the old man,

The old man put down the hoe and just kept silent.

"...Didn't the family give you food, drink and clothing, Dad! What are you doing in the field! You are so old, and if you fall into the field in a while, who will pull you?"

The daughter-in-law blushed with anger and said to the old man.

The old man was silent, did not enter the house, just stood in the yard, did not speak.

"...Dad, it's not that Nian Rong said you, look at how old you are, what are you doing with your bones on the ground, old uncle Yang also said that your land is by the river, what should you do if you fall into the river? There's no one there now!"

The son was also angry, and said.

"Dad! You are not allowed to go in the future!"

"There are still some vegetables in the field, and they will grow soon..."

This is the first sentence the old man has been saying for so long.

"Then you are not allowed to go, you said, what are you doing in the field at such an advanced age!"

The son and daughter-in-law kept talking to the old man,
It means that the old man is not allowed to go to the field anymore.

The old man was silent and just kept listening.

"...Dad, you have food and clothing at home, and you are not short of what you grow, so what are you doing in the field!"

"What if you fall on the ground, you fall into the river when you are carrying water... If it hadn't been for this old Uncle Yang to tell us, we wouldn't even know about it!"

……

updated plot,
That's it.

man and wife watching, looking at the last page of the updated chapter,
They all paused, and remained silent.

They don't love and hate like their daughter.

From the perspective of the old man's son and daughter-in-law,
Although this son and daughter-in-law are not very filial, they are not very hateful either.

But this does not hinder, the depression after replacing the perspective of the old man Xu Deen.

Such a dependent, homeless old man is depressed.

He has long since lost his home, which is his son's home.

Every time he did something, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

This may seem like an ordinary story, but it also makes readers uncomfortable.

Because it is too ordinary and too real, substituting it is even more depressing.

"If one day your daughter grows up and you die, I will be like this old man."

The wife raised her head and said to her husband.

"If you die one day, won't I be the same?"

The husband also said.

Originally, the two people who wanted to have a few jokes to ease their mood,
Having said that, I can't stop thinking about it.
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

Hey……

……

"... Author of the dog, your second story of Star Dream is really healing. Telling this story to my daughter made her cry out of anger and out of breath! This novel was not published Is it classified as a fairy tale, the author of the dog, is this how you tortured and destroyed these young hearts?"

This is the comment Ji Zhuo saw when he flipped through the comments in the comment area.

Regarding the content of this comment, Ji Zhuo...is numb.

I don't feel anything.

After all, the entire comment section is talking about him being stabbed.

Hey, how come no one understands his good intentions.

Ji Zhuo sighed and shook his head.

Then click into this comment and read the replies from other readers.

"...Huh? The landlord has a daughter? The element is aware! It doesn't matter how old or young, I can wait!"

The first reply was this. As expected of a sand sculpture netizen, he really didn't disappoint him at all.

"I can wait too. I'm still young. I won't have any problems waiting for seventeen or eighteen years!"

"Go away, the owner of the building is serious. I support you to come to greet the dear dog author in person. It is best to bring him some blades full of respect."

"So you don't understand the book of the dog author. Although it is classified into the fairy tale category, it is not the dog author himself. In addition, it is a fairy tale. This fairy tale is also read by adults... Well, I mean adults. I was still crying after seeing it, tossing and turning in bed uncomfortably, unable to sleep at night, my mind was full of thoughts about my former grandfather, and myself in the future... The depressive mood lingered in my heart, and it couldn't go away for a long time... Well, I'm talking Myself."

"After reading the dog author's update today, I turned my head and saw that my son was still playing with a toy next to him, and I snatched the toy away. Seeing him crying, I felt a lot better."

"Good father!"

"Upstairs son: Needless to say, pull, I agree."

"Hmm... The whole family reads novels by dog ​​authors. I suspect that you stole the dog author's subscription."

Hmm... Looking at this comment, Ji Zhuo couldn't help thinking about it.

Reasonable.

Exit to this comment,

Ji Zhuo looked through the other comments again,

Mostly the same,
If you want to send him a blade, ask him to update it quickly.

Ji Zhuo looked around again, then slipped away.

……

"Congratulations to the host for completing this sub-profession: screenwriter task goal: the number of viewers of the adapted script is not less than 100 million, the number of animation episodes is not less than 80.00, and the praise is not less than [-]%."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the sub-professional screenwriter task achievement reward of this issue: script +2, free attribute points +2"

"Congratulations to the host for completing an adaptation of a script and gaining a sub-profession: 1 point of screenwriting experience."

At this moment, Ji Zhuo was paralyzed on the sofa.

Look at the system panel.

The reminder that the current task of the professional screenwriter has been completed only popped up two days after the first season of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" ended.

The main reason is that the system requires viewers who have watched 80.00% of the content of the animation to calculate the number of viewers.

Looking at the system reminder, Ji Zhuo continued to implement the tradition of taking from the screenwriter and using it for the screenwriter,

Added two free attribute points to the script.

the entire system interface,

Mainly about the content of the sub-professional screenwriter, there have been some changes.

"Main occupation: Writer.

主职业等级：4级（0/5）（0/1）

Sub-occupation: Screenwriter (Level 2) (1/2)

Sub-occupation: Lyricist

Sub-occupation: not yet open

Occupational Attributes:
Writing style: 16
Plot: 17
Speed: 18
Inspiration: 17
Scripts: 19
Lyricist: 14
The current task objective of the main occupation: ...

Sub-occupation: Lyricist Current goal: ...

Sub-occupation: Screenwriter Current goal: According to the current professional level and past achievements, the requirement is to create or adapt a film, animation and other scripts.The total number of viewers of the film and television animation corresponding to the script exceeds 200 million within a certain period of time.The animation corresponding to the script should not be less than 12 episodes.The praise must not be less than 80.00%.

Note: To count the number of movie viewers, the audience needs to watch 80.00% of the content of the corresponding feature film. If the conditions are not met, they will not be counted.

Task completion reward: script attribute +2, free attribute +2
Current incentives: 20% corresponds to the actual total investment in film and television animation projects. "

With a total of four attributes being added to the script attributes,

Ji Zhuo, the attribute that was originally the most stretching, has become the strongest among all attributes.

It may also be because of this, and Ji Zhuo's two adaptations in the past have achieved good results.

This time, the current goal requirements for the assistant professional screenwriter have almost doubled, but the task rewards have not changed much.

The incentive fund is still 20.00% of the actual total investment amount.

For this,

Ji Zhuo didn't feel anything either.

Except for the script fire of the sub-professional, they are not too bad, and both left and right are really not at a loss.

In addition, the assistant professional screenwriter cycle is too long, and this cycle is not completely controlled by Ji Zhuo himself.

Even if he immediately gave the new script to the animation department of Pioneer Film and Television, it is impossible to ask Pioneer Film and Television to produce the animation immediately, within a month.

Look at the last sub-professional current task update to the current completion,

During this period, Ji Zhuo wrote several new books.

I really don't have much feeling for the task goal of the assistant professional screenwriter.

It can be regarded as a cover for system incentive money.

Look again,

Ji Zhuo turned off the system interface.

Then he picked up his phone and went back to the bedroom.

……

"...Uncle Yu?"

Yucheng, the old man finished watching today's update of "Star Dream",

Sitting in the seat silent for a long time,
In the end, the nurse who also watched the update of "Star Dream" couldn't help calling out to the old man.

"what?"

The old man seemed to be distracted, and after answering, he fell silent again, lowered his head, not knowing what to think.

"Uncle Yu, are you okay? We won't read this novel if it makes people uncomfortable."

The nurse came closer and said aloud.

The old man paused, but shook his head.

"It's a good book, it just brings up a lot of things in my mind. You still have to listen to it."

Saying so, the old man turned his head to follow where the nurse spoke,
The nurse moved his feet, and although the old man could no longer see, he was still facing the old man.

The old man remained silent for a while, talking to the nurse again,

"My parents died earlier, and my mother died later than my father. Do you know what I was thinking when my mother passed away?"

The nurse didn't answer, and the old man didn't need him to answer.

After a pause, he turned back to the old man and said,
"...I feel fear, and I feel that I am closer to death. At the same time, I am also afraid... From now on, I will no longer be anyone's child, I will only be a father, a husband..."

"I never have my parents' home to go back to."

The old man spoke, then fell silent.

The nurse followed the old man's words to think, and then remained silent.

The house was quiet for a while,

The nurse just told the old man something else,

"Uncle Yu, do you still remember another work by this author? It is the previous book "Hour Hand Leaps to Death"."

The old man has listened to every book by this author.

After the publication of "The Hour Hand Leaps to Death", the old people also bought it.

It's just a pity that there is no signed version of "Hour Hand" this time.

"It's the author's last book, which is also very good. What's the matter?"

"Didn't Mr. Yu ask you to shoot the animation of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" before, and this time Pioneer Film and Television will make the animation of "The Hour Hand Leaps to Death" again."

"That's very good."

The old man smiled and agreed.

"At that time, I will let you go, Uncle Yu."

"Ah."

"...In addition, Mr. Yu also asked for a signed book of "Hour Hand Leaps to Death" for you, Uncle Yu, and he said that he will bring it to you personally tomorrow."

"Um……"

The old man replied again, followed by another smile, and said,
"That bastard must have asked for more than one copy. I don't know if my son asked for at least two copies. He has to keep one for himself."

The nurse laughed too.

In the room, the previous depression dissipated.

The old man and the nurse chatted some gossip.

……

On the other side, Pioneer Film and Television Headquarters.

The lights in the office are still on.

Just like his father expected, Yu Mingzhi asked for a total of two autographed books when Ji Zhuo came to sign the licensing agreement with the company.

At this moment, when he was free, Yu Mingzhi got up and flipped through the two signed "Hour Hands" on the desk.
Then, satisfied, he picked up one of the hour hands.

First it was placed on the bookshelf in the office, but after it was put on, it was taken down again,

Forget it, let's take it back to the house.

Don't let some screenwriter or director come over to his office for a while, and just let him go.

Holding a signed "Hour Hand" between two hands and one hand, Yu Mingzhi left the office.

As for the contents of the book,

He watched Ji Zhuo's series before.

His reading taste was developed by his father,
It's almost the same as his father, dog author... He reads every book by Mr. Ji.

……

"...Why don't you go to sleep?"

"I also read the novel update."

"Mom, I'm emo... I'm thinking what should I do if the two of you die..."

Fancheng, in the noodle shop owner's house.

After reading today's update by the author of the dog, the boy's face is dull and a little uncomfortable.

The woman who was pressing the remote control of the TV next to her glanced at her son and asked,
Then heard this answer.

Listening to what their son said, the couple's faces were a little dark,
Since the two of them are not very old, their son began to think about the death of both of them.

"Yimu, right?"

The woman put down the remote control and pulled the clothes rack next to her,
"How about I treat you?"

"...Mom, hey, if you said it's miraculous, I suddenly feel better. I'm sleepy, so I'm going to wash up and go to bed."

The boy jumped up and slipped away.

The couple were left dumbfounding in the living room.

But with a smile and a smile, the two fell silent.

They also read the dog author's update today, and they were also a little uncomfortable.

"If your son is not filial in the future, I will beat you! If you can't teach your son a lesson, I will teach you a lesson."

"Ah? What's the point?"

"I've never heard of it. It's the fault of the son not teaching the father."
