Chapter 57 (Don't Be Afraid)
"The claws of naked loans extended to female college students, they were blackmailed for overdue repayment, and many people were forced to commit suicide..."

While talking, a piece of news on TV attracted the attention of the father and son.

Of course, Zhang Zhong has heard about naked loans. Some informal lending institutions lend loans to female students. The condition is personal information and nude photos. The interest on these loans is generally very high.

"These beasts have no humanity at all, how many girls have been harmed!" Zhang Xingjun said angrily after watching the news.

Zhang Zhong shook his head secretly. Although these people who lend money are guilty of serious crimes, the female college students who borrowed money are also to blame.

Although it is not ruled out that some girls have difficulties, the vast majority of them want to borrow because of vanity and excessive consumption.

In the final analysis, it was vanity that killed them.

The experience of these female college students reminded Zhang Zhong of another novel he had read not long before returning from Earth.

Maupassant's "Necklace".

It is also a short story, the story tells that Mathilde, the wife of a small civil servant, borrowed a string of diamond necklaces from a rich friend in order to attend a party, so as to show off to others.

But what people didn't expect was that the necklace was accidentally lost on the way home.

She could only borrow money to buy a new necklace to return to a friend. In order to repay the debt, she cut down on food and clothing, worked part-time for others, and worked hard for ten years. She was old and dilapidated.

However, in the end, she learned that the necklace she borrowed was actually a string of fake diamond necklaces.

Because of vanity, she borrowed the necklace, and because of vanity, she concealed the loss of the necklace and secretly borrowed money to buy a new one. For this, she spent ten years.

This novel is just in time for this naked loan news.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Zhong fell silent suddenly, trying to recall the plot of the novel.

This is a short story, the content is not complicated, and it is not difficult to recall.

And Zhang Zhong tried hard to recall, hoping to remember every word in the book as much as possible. Of course, he didn't have the ability to remember with a photograph, so he failed. Except for the plot of the story, he couldn't remember every paragraph in it. Remember everything.

"Son, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Zhang Zhong suddenly startled, Zhang Xingjun waved his hand in front of him strangely.

Zhang Zhong came back to his senses, frowned and said to his father, "Dad, I have some things to go into the house."

Zhang Xingjun scratched his head strangely as he watched his son hurrying back to the house.

"Is it because this kid is a writer?"

At this time, Hu Huifang came out of the shower with Pengpeng, and seeing that Zhang Xingjun was the only one in the living room, she asked, "Where is my son?"

Zhang Xingjun pointed towards the room, "It seems that he suddenly thought of something and went in to write something."

"Oh, is that so?" Hu Huifang stretched out her head and glanced into the room, only to see Zhang Zhong sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with a serious expression on his face.

"Let him concentrate on writing the book, don't go in and disturb him." Hu Huifang lowered her voice, then tiptoed over and gently closed the door.

Zhang Xingjun had a bitter look on his face, "Then I'm going to sleep."

"Are you a pig, sleeping in such a hurry? It's really not good to go in after he's done working. It's not like this sofa can't sleep."

"..."

"Pengpeng, let's go, grandma will take you to sleep."

"Where's Dad?" Pengpeng looked at the closed door, pouted, it was his dad who coaxed him to sleep these days.

"Daddy is busy making money to buy you beautiful dresses."

"Grandma, I have a beautiful dress. Dad, don't be too busy."

"Father is a writer. Apart from earning money to buy dresses for Peng Peng, he also has to write books for readers."

Pengpeng patted his head, "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot that Dad is a great writer."

Hu Huifang rolled her eyes, Peng Peng obviously learned this set of movements from herself.

After Hu Huifang led Pengpeng back to sleep, Zhang Xingjun sat alone in the living room and sighed.

He has no status in this family.

……

It took Zhang Chong two hours to write the book, and he probably wrote the story of the necklace, but the whole novel has not yet been completed, because some details and words and sentences still need to be polished. Limited, it is impossible to write like a god, let alone complete it in one go, without deleting a single word.

After writing the first draft, Zhang Zhong stretched his waist, and he was highly focused for more than two hours, which made him a little tired.

After stretching, Zhang Zhong felt that something was missing in the room, and after thinking for a while, he realized what was missing. He turned his head and looked at the bed, but there was no one there.

I thought my dad would die tonight, but I didn't expect him to come to sleep at all.

I looked at the time, and it was almost twelve o'clock. Before this time, my father would have been shouting loudly.

He got up and opened the door of the room. Zhang Zhong saw his father lying on the sofa watching TV, yawning again and again.

"Dad, what is this?" Zhang Zhong asked curiously.

Zhang Xingjun was about to fall asleep, but when he heard Zhang Zhong's voice, his face instantly became happy.

"You're done."

Zhang nodded, "I finished writing, it's so late, why are you still watching TV?"

It's not because of you boy!

But Zhang Xingjun didn't tell the truth, he just said, "I just saw a good-looking one, and I was fascinated by it for a while, you go take a bath, I'm going to sleep."

After speaking, he yawned and entered the room.

Zhang Zhong had just taken his clothes and was about to take a bath when he heard his father's voice coming from the room.

He couldn't help shaking his head, and probably guessed why his father was watching TV here, probably because he was afraid of disturbing his writing.

After taking a bath, Zhang Zhong went back to the room, lying next to his father, listening to his voice, he felt a little relieved.

……

Three days later, on the first day of the National Day, Zhang Zhong took Pengpeng to Mengmu Xiaozhu early in the morning.

The studio has accepted a lot of students during this period, and Xu Yuhan's class schedule has become more intensive, but Zhang Zhong has to come a little earlier every holiday, so that Xu Yuhan can tutor Peng Peng alone for a while.

For Xu Yuhan, tutoring Pengpeng alone is a bit troublesome, but she herself is so happy, because Zhang Zhong is the first customer to buy a big class from her, and secondly, she really likes Pengpeng, and Pengpeng He is also really talented in drawing.

Every teacher likes talented students, and Xu Yuhan is no exception.

Taking advantage of the time when Pengpeng was studying painting in the studio, Zhang Zhong went to the nearby Xinhua Bookstore alone.

In addition to being National Day, today is also the day when his first book is published.

After more than a month, the booklet of "Jieyou Grocery Store" is finally officially on the shelves.
