Reborn since 2005

Chapter 443

Liang Wei arrived in Yangcheng in the morning. After the plane landed, she sent a message to Chen Li.

Although they have broken up, but there is such a child, they still have contact on QQ.

Liang Wei doesn't have any relatives or friends in Yangcheng, but her former colleague who sold the house together is there, but the relationship is quite ordinary, and it's not enough to go to the airport to pick her up.

It was really inconvenient for a woman to bring a child who was only a few months old, so she asked Chen Li for help, hoping that he could pick her up.

She has lived in the United States for such a long time, and she has a lot of things with her, so it is really inconvenient for her to be alone.

Chen Li didn't want to go to greet him alone, he felt a little embarrassed, so he dragged Yan Xin along.

Ai Lili is at work and has no time to come here. Otherwise, it would be better to call Ai Lili over. With her to smooth things over, the atmosphere would be less awkward.

Gu Ru is also out of town at this time, so she can't be free.

There was no other way, but the two big men went over to pick it up.

When they arrived at the airport, Liang Wei was already waiting for them outside the airport, with a doll on her back and two large suitcases beside her.

No one to help, it is really troublesome.

Next to her was a man who was talking to her and didn't know what to say.

Chen Li frowned.

But Liang Wei didn't pay much attention to that man, her eyes drifted to other places.

When she saw Chen Li and Yan Xin approaching, a smile finally appeared on her face, and she raised an arm:
"Yan Xin, I'm here!"

Although her eyes were mainly on Chen Li, she did not call Chen Li, but Yan Xin.

This made Yan Xin a little embarrassed, and after glancing at Chen Li, he raised his hand to say hello:
"Liang Wei, here we come!"

The man who was pestering Liang Wei left when he saw them coming, and walked towards another person instead.

The two walked over, Yan Xin asked Liang Wei: "What did that man do just now?"

Liang Wei glanced over there, with a look of disgust on her face:

"A man running a black car pestered me to take his car. I said I had someone to pick me up, but he still refused to leave. Fortunately, you came, otherwise I was a little worried that he would take my suitcase directly. Throw it on the car and force me to ride in his car."

"That shouldn't be the case," Yan Xin laughed. "It's not that rampant, is it? Maybe it's because you are alone, with a child, and you need a car."

Liang Wei shook her head: "I don't know."

I haven't seen her for a year, but Liang Wei's figure has changed a bit, maybe it's because of having a baby, she's a bit bloated than before, her skin is much worse, and she looks a little slack.

A woman in her 20s now looks like a woman in her 30s, with a haggard face, and I don't know if it's because she didn't have a good rest while flying or for other reasons.

Without the youthful beauty of the past, she is more like a young woman at home.

Yan Xin thought to herself: "It's quite difficult for a single woman to have children."

He secretly kicked Chen Li, wanting him to say a few words.

But Chen Li just didn't speak, just pulled a suitcase and walked over to the car.

Liang Wei pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and said nothing.

Smiling at Yan Xin again: "Thank you for coming to pick me up."

Yan Xin exclaimed, "Thank you for what? We are all friends, we should."

Liang Wei originally carried the child on her back, otherwise she wouldn't be able to free up both hands to carry her suitcase.

Now that someone came to help, and he was about to get on the bus again, it was not suitable to continue carrying it, so he took off the small backpack and held the child in his arms.

The child fell asleep at first, but after being touched by her like this, he woke up babbling again.

Yan Xin was going to pull another suitcase. Seeing her pick up the child, she couldn't help taking a look, and then said with a smile:

"The kid looks lovely."

"Um……"

Liang Wei coaxed the child and responded with a smile on her face.

It seems that he still likes this child very much.

Holding the car heading to Chen Li, he walked over.

Chen Li had already put the suitcase in the trunk, opened the doors of the front seat and the back seat, and stood there waiting for the two of them to arrive.

Hearing the baby's babbling, he also cast his gaze there, but he only glanced at it, and then retracted.

Yan Xin pulled the suitcase over and put it in the trunk of the car.

While he was doing these things, Liang Wei had already gotten into the car and was sitting in the back row.

Yan Xin froze for a moment.

He originally thought that Chen Li would drive and Liang Wei would sit in the passenger seat, so the couple could get closer, and he would just sit in the back seat.

Unexpectedly, Liang Wei sat in the back row.

It's not good for him to sit in the same row as Liang Wei, after all, this is a friend's woman—even if it's just a former woman.

No way, after putting away the suitcase, he could only sit in the front passenger seat.

Chen Li started the car.

Liang Wei was sitting in the back row, holding the child in her arms, coaxing the child there.

When Yan Xin got into the car, the two had no communication.

The car started, but there was still no communication.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

There was no other way, Yan Xin could only talk with Liang Wei, asking the child's name, how much she weighed, how her life was in the US, and how the price level was.

In fact, he already knew these things, but in order to make the atmosphere less awkward, he could only ask again.

——You have to say something, right?

Liang Wei ignored Chen Li, but she was very polite to Yan Xin, why did she answer with a smile, and answered as detailed as possible.

This time, time passed slowly.

After asking about some things she already knew, Yan Xin asked Liang Wei what she planned to do in the future.

Liang Wei glanced at Chen Li who was driving, with a little resentment in his eyes, and then smiled and said:

"I don't have too many ideas. Let's take it one step at a time. There is still a little balance on the bank card. If you are frugal, you should be able to live with your children for two or three years. It is a bit inconvenient to find a job, but you can go back to your old job. , continue to write web articles.”

After she got pregnant, she didn't write any more web articles, but just finished the serialized book "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me".

The main reason is that the computer has radiation, which is not good for children.

It has been more than half a year without writing.

That novel is still bringing her income now, but there is a big gap with the serialization period. The monthly manuscript fee income has gradually dropped from 8000 yuan a month when it was just finished to [-] yuan a month now. moon.

This is because her novel has become popular among women, and with its high popularity, it has attracted many readers to subscribe after it is finished.

The manuscript fee of seven to eight thousand a month, if it can be stabilized, can survive with a child, and live a good life.

However, according to the rate of decline, after half a year, it may be 2000 yuan a month, or even 2000 yuan.

This is what the web is like.

Except for those classic novels, there will be a steady stream of income after the completion of the book, and some readers will read it for no reason.

But even if it is a classic novel, the income will gradually decline after it is finished.

If it can be adapted into a film and television work, there will be another wave of popularity at that time, and subscriptions can also be increased.

But the general trend is downward.

Driven by new books, the performance of old books will be better, and the downward trend will not be so fast.

But if there is no new book to drive it, the income will plummet.

Liang Wei also understood this truth.

Chen Li is the child's father, but Chen Li has already paid a lot for this child, and the house in the back does not need him to pay for it. It is unreasonable to ask him to pay the bill.

But it is obviously impossible to raise this child by yourself, relying on the lower and lower manuscript fees.

It is also advisable to pick up online articles and open another book.

If she can earn money by herself, she can live a more dignified life. This is her life experience of more than [-] years.

If she doesn't write online novels, with her ability, at most she can find a job with a monthly salary of more than 1000. It is not easy to live by herself, let alone raise a child.

After much deliberation, there is only one way to continue writing web articles.

But she still has some worries-whether she can write another popular novel.

She has been in this circle for a while, and she has also read a lot of online articles, and understands that her writing style is not that strong, not to mention first-rate, second-rate level may not be there, that is, she is wandering in the third-rate or fourth-rate.

The last book was popular, mainly because Yan Xin gave her a lot of ideas, not her personal ability.

For web articles, these things are more important than writing.

Speaking of this topic, she asked Yan Xin again:

"You know the internet best. My last book was your idea, and you gave me a lot of jokes. Do you have any good suggestions for the new book? Do you want to continue writing about the domineering president, or write about something else? "

Yan Xin hesitated for a moment.

He really doesn't know much about women. What he knows has already been gathered in the book "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me". There are really no new ideas.

But he thought of some great writers who kept copying themselves, so he said to her:
"If you want stability, you can continue to write Ba Zong. Even if you don't have a good grade in the first book, but with the foundation laid by the first book, the data should not be much worse."

"But I don't have any new routines." Liang Wei said a little depressed.

"You can write the same old routine, as long as it's not too obviously similar to the previous book, and the core things can still be the same." Yan Xin said.

Liang Wei nodded and wrote it down.

He asked again: "What if you want to make a breakthrough? Do you have any good ideas?"

Yan Xin said: "If you want to make a breakthrough, you can try to write cute baby articles, female frequency, mainly female readers, there will be some housewives, or some housewives who are about to become housewives, write about how to bring There should be readers for babies or something. You have children now, and you also have experience in raising children, so writing this shouldn’t be difficult.”

"But, will anyone watch it?" Liang Wei was very skeptical.

Taking care of children, such a trivial matter, sometimes makes her a headache when she thinks about it, and she almost gets depressed when she is alone.

When these things are written, will anyone really read them?
"Someone should read it," Yan Xin said, "and you can also write it more excitingly, it's not that Shui Daily can be integrated with Ba Zong's literature, and write about a single who is in love with a domineering president. Mom, if you mix in some interesting stories about raising a baby, someone should read it, I think."

Those cute babies are not popular in online articles now, but he knows that they will become popular in a few years.

Not only will female videos become popular, but also male videos will become popular.

Write this thing a little earlier, and someone should read it.

Liang Wei had no idea at first, but when she heard that she could merge with the domineering president, her eyes lit up and she gained confidence.

Just changing the character of the heroine is a new story.

Seems pretty easy.

She still believed in Yan Xin's judgment on the online articles, so she said with a smile: "Thank you, Yan Xin, in a few days, when I settle down, I will write as you said."

Yan Xin said: "Believe in yourself, you will succeed."

"I would like to borrow your good words." Liang Wei said.

It seems that she is in a much better mood.

Chen Li drove the whole time without saying a word, but occasionally his eyes fell on the mother and child in the rearview mirror.

It is not yet known what the child who is related to him looks like.

It's just that you can't see clearly through the little picture in the rearview mirror.

Although he was quite curious, in order to avoid unnecessary guesses, he never asked Liang Wei what the child looked like, nor did he ask for a picture of the child.

Today, I went to pick up the mother and son. He obviously had the opportunity to see it, but he didn't.

If Liang Wei knew that he was interested in children, he felt that his life would be ruined, and there would be no way to get rid of such entanglements.

Driving in silence, listening to Yan Xin and Liang Wei talking about this and that.

He actually wanted to get involved in some topics, but he still found it troublesome after thinking about it, so he didn't say the last word.

Drive all the way to Baijingyuan.

The house I bought for Liang Wei is a first-phase house, a second-hand house, but the house is large enough, with more than 100 square meters.

After the original owner moved out, he did not make any damage to the decoration of the room, and even did not take away a lot of furniture.

——For some furniture that is not very valuable, the shipping cost exceeds its own value, so it is better to stay here.

Under such circumstances, Chen Li just asked the cleaner to do some cleaning, then bought a new mattress, bought a quilt, some kitchen utensils, and a TV in the living room, and then did not buy anything else. something.

Moved in directly, no problems.

After getting off the car in the underground garage, Liang Wei hugged the child, and the two men each dragged a suitcase, found the building, and got on the elevator.

In the elevator, Yan Xin also talked about the process of Chen Li buying this house. He also saw that house himself, and talked about the layout and layout inside.

Now the house is still very empty. In a house with three bedrooms and one living room, two bedrooms are empty and haven't been furnished yet.

There is an old bed in one bedroom, and a new mattress, which can live directly.

The main reason is that the time is too short, and I haven't thought about how to arrange it.

Moreover, the mother and son will live in this house in the future, so they still think it's better to let Liang Wei decide how to arrange it.

As he spoke, Liang Wei thanked him.

Obviously Chen Li did these things, and he paid for the money, but his thanks were directed at Yan Xin, making it seem like Yan Xin did these things.

It made Yan Xin somewhat embarrassed.

It can also be seen that neither of these two people has come out of the original breakup.

When he got there, Chen Li took out the key and opened the door.

After opening the door, he was stunned for a while holding the key, and then handed the key to Yan Xin.

Yan Xin was speechless, glanced at him, then took the key, and handed it to Liang Wei with a smile:
"This is the key to the door. You will be the owner of this house in the future, so you can take the key."

Liang Wei took the key and said thank you again.

Two men pulled their suitcases into the room, and the two suitcases were placed in the living room. There were also a few old sofas in the living room, which belonged to the original owner. They didn't take them away, and they didn't bother to throw them away.

Although it is a bit old, it is just old, not broken, and it is no problem to sit on.

Three bedrooms, two of which are empty, only the master bedroom has a bed and a closet in it.

"You can take a look first to see what else you need. If you are inconvenient to buy it yourself, you can tell us and we will buy it for you this afternoon." Yan Xin said to Liang Wei.

Liang Wei hugged the child for a while, then returned to the living room, and said to Yan Xin:

"There is nothing lacking, but now I have a child, it would be better if there is a stroller and a baby's rocker. But this is not a big problem, and it's okay if you don't have it."

Yan Xin remembered it, and said to Chen Li:
"Prams and cradles, we'll go buy them in the afternoon."

Chen Li hummed, but didn't say much.

Yan Xin hesitated for a moment, then asked Liang Wei with a smile:
"It's almost noon at this time, are you hungry? If you are hungry, let's go out to have a meal together, which can be regarded as a cleansing for you."

Liang Wei's eyes fell on Chen Li unconsciously, and when she saw Chen Li, she looked at the door, couldn't help feeling sad, smiled, shook her head and said:
"No, I ate on the plane, and I'm a little sleepy now, I want to take a rest first."

She said that she flew here from the United States, not a direct flight, but also changed planes once, and she was indeed a little tired.

Judging by her face, it doesn't look like she is resting.

So Yan Xin also understood, and said: "Okay then, you can rest at noon, and we will clean up the dust for you at night."

He and Chen Li walked to the door of the room, opened the door and were about to go out, but Liang Wei called out "wait a minute".

Both stood there.

Liang Wei took one piece from the bunch of door keys, handed it to Yan Xin, and said, "You can take this key, I'm afraid that sometimes I forget to bring the key when I go out, and I have a spare one here. If there is anything, you can come directly."

Yan Xin took a look at Chen Li and saw that he didn't make any indication, so he took it up and said with a smile:

"That's good, we'll go buy a stroller and a rocker in the afternoon, so your rest won't be disturbed."

After saying that, he opened the door and went out with Chen Li.

The door closed again.

Liang Wei looked at the tightly closed door, and suddenly the circles of her eyes were red, and then tears fell down.

Thinking about Chen Li's attitude towards him all the way, he felt very sad.

I thought to myself:

"Is this the so-called stranger? But even a stranger, who looks at my orphans and widows, won't be so indifferent!"

"Is it really that bad that I disgust him so much?"

"But no matter how bad I am, this child is also his flesh and blood. He is the child's biological father. Is it true that there is no family affection at all?"

The more I think about it, the more I feel wronged.

Holding the child, her face was pressed against the child's face, and the tears also fell on the child's face, flowing more and more.
