Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 474 Do you know what Albert said?
Cao Ruixia looked at the private room, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect this restaurant to look ordinary from the outside, but there is a world inside, and the decoration of this private room is quite high-end."

While pouring tea for them, Zhang Zhong said, "This kind of restaurant is full of regular customers, and the customers bring customers along, so there is no need to make it too good outside. I brought this tea myself. Uncles and aunts, please try it."

Xu Yuhan smiled and said, "Lin Lin is such a foodie. I didn't even know this place was so close to my house, but he knew it very well."

As she spoke, she introduced it to her parents, "This restaurant was introduced by his friend Lin Lin, who is the owner of Zero Zero One Culture Company."

Cao Ruixia said, "I don't know much about this cultural company, old Xu, do you know?"

Xu Wenxuan nodded, "I've heard about Zero Zero One Culture Company. Wasn't Zero Zero One magazine under this company before?"

"Oh, it sounds familiar to me." Cao Ruixia suddenly said.

Xu Wenxuan lowered his head and took a sip of water, then said, "Zhang Zhong, congratulations on winning the Pu Songling Award."

He didn't know what to say, so he talked about the Pu Songling Award.

"Thank you uncle, I was actually quite surprised to win the award."

"Well, the judging committee of the Pu Songling Award is very decisive this time, and they also took risks when awarding you the award. If you only have works such as "Being Precepted" and "Border Town", there is nothing to say, even though you are still young. , but age is a hurdle, sometimes it is not difficult to cross it. According to historical trends, it is also a trend that the winners are getting younger and younger, but you have broken this hurdle ahead of time. The problem is that you are not only There are these works, and works like "Dune". The big men in the mainstream literary world sometimes have a prejudice against popular novels, and they will transfer this prejudice to the authors. Your extremely high-selling books Works not only create a halo for you, but also become a burden on you." When it comes to literature, Xu Wenxuan let go of it all at once, and began to talk freely.

Zhang nodded emphatically, "That's true. I have heard some voices in the past two days, saying that the Pu Songling Award's actions are suspected of flattering youth, flattering business, and compromising the vulgar public aesthetics."

"Based on what I know about you, I'm afraid you don't care too much about these criticisms."

"It's out of the question to care."

Cao Ruixia glanced at the two of them and said, "Old Xu, you didn't come here to talk about work today, what are you talking about. Zhang Zhong, I heard that you studied computer before, so why didn't you start your career later?"

"What do you mean, a writer must have a professional background?" Xu Wenxuan said.

"I'm just asking, why are you in such a hurry?" Cao Ruixia pouted.

Zhang Chong said with a smile, "It's also accidental. I got into a car accident not long after I graduated. I lay in the hospital for five years. After I came out of the hospital, I couldn't keep up with my professional knowledge. Yes, some people love to read what I wrote, so I continued.”

"This is called the east corner of loss, and the mulberry tree of harvest. There is nothing more wonderful than this in life." Xu Wenxuan said.

"Well, it's a blessing in disguise."

"I heard that you have a daughter, why didn't you bring the children here today?" After all, Cao Ruixia was a mother, Xu Wenxuan would definitely not ask these straightforward questions, and she was the only one who asked them.

"She went to my uncle's house with my parents today, and my mother and the others haven't been back for a long time. I took my granddaughter back to have a look during the holidays." Zhang Chong lied as soon as he opened his mouth.

"It's not easy for your parents, they should help you take care of your children at ordinary times." Cao Ruixia said.

Zhang Zhong probably knew what she was going to ask, so he said, "My mother teaches in middle school and usually has more time on weekends, so she can help. My father does a small business and needs to be busy. Luckily, Peng Peng is still obedient and not very It’s worrying, but for me, I have more free working hours, so it can also relieve their worries.”

Cao Ruixia nodded secretly. Unlike Xu Wenxuan, it was her first contact with Zhang Zhong. During these conversations, Zhang Zhong made her feel very good. He spoke cleanly and did not drop his book bag.The most important thing is that he is very clever, he knows what to answer when he asks himself.

From a mother's point of view, no matter how famous Zhang Zhong is in the literary world, those are false, and her daughter will live with him in the future.

The two want to live a good life, but they don't look at those things.If Zhang Chong is a person floating in the sky, no matter how talented he is, he will definitely have conflicts every day in his life.

Her family's old Xu was a little drifting when he was young, but fortunately after these years of adjustment..., he finally fell from the sky to the ground, and he is more down-to-earth.

Zhang Zhong is good, very grounded.

Xu Wenxuan thought differently. When it came to choosing a son-in-law, he must first look at character, followed by ability. As for whether he would float in the sky, he really didn't think so carefully.

"In the future, if you have time, you can sit at home and bring the children with you. Although you and Uncle Xu are in Jinling, the two places are not far away, and we can come back anytime."

Zhang Zhong nodded, "Okay."

Xu Yuhan sat next to him and heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his mother was very satisfied with Zhang Zhong.

Before she came, she was most worried about her mother, but she wasn't too worried about her father.

Afterwards, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Although Xu Wenxuan and the others came by car, their home was so close that they could walk back. They also drank some wine.

In China, when the father-in-law meets his son-in-law, a drink is inevitable. Even if one is the dean of the School of Philosophy of Jinling University and the other is a well-known writer in the literary world, when it comes to the wine table, drinking is no different from ordinary people.

However, Zhang Zhong, an old man, can't drink enough. After drinking less than half a catty, his tongue started to get a little knotted.

"Zhang... Zhong, do you know what Albert said? He said that all great actions and thoughts have a trivial beginning. If it wasn't for that car accident, maybe you should be in an office now Typing codes, living a completely different life, and we in Huaxia will lose one... hiccup, one less talented writer, the youngest winner of the Pu Songling Award is still Zhuang Yu... hiccup, Nebula Award There are still no Chinese winners..."

It is said that wine quality is like character. Cao Ruixia looked at her husband and sighed secretly. The future son-in-law's wine quality has not been tested, but you, the father-in-law, showed your original shape first. Fortunately, only the three of them are present today. All relatives and friends are there, so it's a big shame.

Knowing that he couldn't drink any more, Zhang Zhong accompanied Xu Wenxuan to talk about the mountains.

I have to say that after drinking, Xu Wenxuan talked a lot, and although his tongue was tied, the rules were clear, and he had to bring a famous philosophical quote when he said a few words.
