Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 387 Repercussions of "Jiahui"
Stayed at the old man's house for one night, Xiaozhu'er had to go to school early the next morning, Mao Chunhua officially went to work today, and He Ping went to the commune's new home to take a look.

In half a year, the changes in the small courtyard have become more and more serious.When He Ping brought Mao Chunhua the last time, the yard was still full of materials, but now it has been covered with lush plants, which are newly planted or transplanted flowers and trees since the beginning of spring.

Fourth Uncle Liu's apprentice was polishing a chair in the yard, and greeted He Ping when he saw He Ping coming.

Entering the house, Uncle Liu was discussing with a craftsman.

"Yo, are you back, He Ping?"

"Come back, come and have a look."

"Let me introduce to you, this is the famous Master Zou in our county. He is famous for his landscape paintings. Come here today to see the condition of the house, and prepare to do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Uncle Liu introduced He Ping.

He Ping's small courtyard is a Chinese-style courtyard, so it must be decorated with calligraphy and painting, which is why Uncle Liu called Master Zou.

The small courtyard is newly built, and a few paintings and calligraphy are hung in response to the occasion. I will find some masterpieces by famous artists when I have the opportunity.

Master Zou left after understanding He Ping's needs, and Uncle Liu told He Ping about the current construction progress of the small courtyard.

"All the decoration parts have basically been completed, and I will take my apprentice to search for you again later. The rest is the furniture, accessories, calligraphy and paintings in the house. According to your requirements, these are not small. , and have to find a reliable teacher, so the time must be slow."

"It's okay, fourth uncle. Don't worry about this, just take your time."

"You won't be able to live in this house this year. Everything is ready. Dry it in winter and dry it in spring. It's just right to live in."

He Ping smiled and said, "I will follow your arrangement."

After seeing the progress of his small courtyard, He Ping rode his bicycle back to Hantun. He didn't work hard yesterday, but today he has to tidy up the house and has been out for several months.

After more than half a year of hard work, brother Zhenkai finally completed the translation and organization of the American literary masterpiece series. He rushed from the capital to Yingcheng with the manuscript on his back and handed it over to Liang Yuejin. The rest is Liang Yuejin's work. Zhenkai Brother Kai returned to Ping County after delivering the manuscript.

"Brother Zhenkai has worked hard, and this busy work has lasted for more than half a year." He Ping said at the reception banquet for Brother Zhenkai.

"Wherever it is, it's all a matter of duty."

Brother Zhenkai returned to the capital and stayed in the capital for more than half a year. Apart from being busy with books, he was also following up the martial arts novels written by the Three Swordsmen of Beijing University.

"A few young people think too much together, if you don't stop them, they will dare to go to heaven." Brother Zhenkai said with a smile.

The creation of "Heroes" went smoothly. The Three Musketeers' collective creation speed is actually very fast, but when there are too many ideas, no one will accept others. At this time, Brother Zhenkai needs to reconcile.

"It is a good thing to have ideas, and to create is to be unconstrained, and you must not stick to it."

After talking about work, the two talked about family again. Brother Zhenkai told He Ping that Shao Fei was pregnant.

He Ping smiled and said, "Congratulations, brother Zhenkai!"

Brother Zhenkai couldn't stop smiling when he talked about this topic, "He Ping, thank you very much. Your sister-in-law has suffered a lot with me. This time I bought a courtyard house at Dongdaqiao. Your sister-in-law and I also Even if she settles down, she will suffer less when she is pregnant."

Don't look at Brother Zhenkai's painstaking efforts in writing poems and running magazines in the past few years, but many of them are paid for, and he still has to worry about it every day.Working with He Ping now, first of all, the material income has exceeded the income of most working-class people in this era, and life has naturally gradually stabilized, and the quality of life has also been guaranteed.

"It's a good thing to be pregnant. Brother Zhenkai, you are too polite. Although we are in the cultural industry, it is still a business after all. Everyone has worked hard, and you deserve it."

He Ping is very interested in the "siheyuan" mentioned by brother Zhenkai. Later generations of online novels are reborn and time-traveled. Siheyuan in the capital city is a must-buy.

"You said you bought a courtyard house?"

"Hey, it is said to be a courtyard, but it is actually a large courtyard. It is incomparable with the courtyards of princes and nobles. It is just an ordinary courtyard."

"Oh!"

He Ping only has a simple understanding of courtyard houses, but he also knows that not all courtyard houses are valuable. If he has the opportunity in the future, he can go to the capital to buy a few sets of courtyard houses.

Brother Zhenkai had only been in Hantun for two days. He came here mainly to report to He Ping on his work and catch up on the past. His wife was pregnant, and he was eager to return home, so he left on the third day.

After the autumn harvest, Sister Wang Fu wrote a letter to He Ping, and He Ping was a little dazed after reading it.

Sister Wang Fu comforted him in the letter not to comment in the outside world. The creation of "Jiahui" has its own unique meaning, and don't be complacent just because some people's music is high or low.

He Ping didn't understand it for a while, and only found out after calling Sister Wang Fu that it turned out that "Jiahui" had been published for more than a month, and the sales volume exploded.

The publishing house printed 20 copies of the first edition, which sold out within half a month.They then printed an additional 50 copies, and recently bookstores around the world have started to rush the goods again.

However, with the rapid growth of "Jiahui" sales, the word-of-mouth of "Jiahui" in the literary and art circles and critics has declined sharply.

The reason is that the author is He Ping.

"You are a writer who has written such works as "Fugui" and "Lu Deshui". How can you be willing to degenerate to such a point?" Sister Wang Fu repeated to He Ping on the phone what a commentator had said about "Family" in a newspaper. Hui" and He Ping's evaluation.

In fact, this matter is also related to the title of the book He Ping chose. He once told Sister Wang Fu that he would write a "trilogy of names".The editorial department also mentioned it in the editor's note when the two works were serialized, so many readers and commentators knew about it.

The first two works of the trilogy, "Fugui" and "Lu Deshui", were well received and well received. Some critics even bluntly said that He Ping has already reserved the Mao Dun Literature Award for the next ten years.

Everyone is looking forward to the last part of He Ping's trilogy. As the final work, everyone's eyes are naturally focused on it. After all, there are gems from the first two works.

But He Ping is so alive, he wrote a popular work, and the title of the book is still named after the person. This has caused many book fans and commentators to regard "Jia Hui" as the last part of the trilogy.

"Don't you think it's strange? The scolding outside is so fierce now, but the bookstores have reported to us that the book is selling very well. Depending on the situation, it will have to be reprinted immediately. If this situation continues, your book is probably Three million copies a year can't stop it."

He Ping laughed: "It's not surprising, this group of people just think they are upright, so don't worry about them."

Eldest sister Wang Fu learned a new term from He Ping's mouth and said it twice in her mouth. She admired He Ping's evaluation, it was so spicy and accurate!
