Compared to the Cheng family, there are many more relatives from the Yu family.
The relatives of the Yu family are now basically aware of Yu Dong's situation, so they have been visiting Yu Dong's house more often since last year.
It is true that wealth in the mountains has distant relatives.
Yu Dong didn't think it was anything. Since they were all relatives, it was a good thing to travel more often. Who was good and who was bad had true parents. They could recognize each other and didn't need him to worry too much.
He has always believed that no one in this world can be independent. These situations must be faced and cannot be escaped.
Of course, adults may be more thoughtful, while children are simpler.
As soon as Cheng Yanqiu and the others entered the courtyard of Yu's house, children of all sizes gathered around them.
Some of these children are Yu Dong's younger brothers and sisters, and some are nephews.
The boy from Li Xiaobo's family was only five or six years old. He snuggled into his mother's arms and shouted, "Auntie is so beautiful."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. But what the child said was true. When everyone saw Cheng Yanqiu for the first time, the first two words that popped into their minds were: beautiful.
Of course, her beauty is not unexpected by everyone. Yu Dong has been good-looking since he was a child, and now he has become a great writer. It would be strange if he didn't find someone beautiful.
After Yu Dong made arrangements for Cheng Yanqiu's family, he ran to pick up her grandparents.
It was almost twelve o'clock when everyone finally gathered.
Lunch was not arranged at the hotel, but six tables were set up at home. The tables were all borrowed from neighbors, and we did not hire a chef. We all relied on the help of relatives, but the banquet was not managed.
Fortunately, the owner's yard is large, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
Yu Hansheng knew that Cheng Yanqiu's father and grandfather were both heavy drinkers, so he specially arranged for a few drinkers to accompany them at the table. The Cheng family was also very happy and basically refused to refuse.
It's just that wheel fighting doesn't work well. The two men are very sharp-eyed. They remember clearly who drank and how much at the table.
It's okay to toast them with wine, but first you have to drink as much as they do.
It doesn't matter if you don't drink the same amount, but you can only hold the cup and think about it.
Although there are many relatives in the Yu family, when it comes to drinking, none of them can take the leading role. Logically speaking, the old man and his companions at this table must at least be Yu Dong's elders, but the older generation who can drink can't join in.
After seeing so many people, I had no choice but to call Yu Dong’s old cousin Li Xiaobo over again.
Li Xiaobo was a kid with many minor problems, but he had two tricks up his sleeve in the wine shop. So when Yu Hansheng called him, he came up with full confidence.
He was also too careless, thinking that since he was drinking with his elders, he couldn't take advantage, so he drank two glasses of wine with Cheng Liye and Cheng Mingde in succession, and let them do as they pleased.
Later, as he drank, he realized that something was wrong. The two of them drank seven or eight ounces of wine and were still as steady as a rock. He himself had almost finished a pound of wine and could no longer drink.
Seeing Li Xiaobo's state, the old man knew that he was about to die, so he pressed his hand and said, "Young man, let's take a break. You have a good drinking capacity, but you have made a major mistake in your strategy. There is a saying in the art of war. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. Are you there?
Knowing the strength of the enemy, he revealed his trump card first. It was an evenly matched battle, but due to strategic errors, he was ultimately defeated. Besides, drinking, getting drunk is not the purpose..."
When Cheng Mingde talked about wine, all the relatives of the Yu family present were stunned. Yu Dong had already learned about it before, so he was not surprised.
In fact, the performance of the Cheng family father and son subverted everyone's imagination.
Before that, they only knew that the Cheng family and his son were professors at Yan University and Jinling University. When they heard that they were professors, they thought they were the kind of old academics who wore glasses and talked a lot. They didn't expect him to be so down-to-earth.
After dinner, everyone gathered for two tables of mahjong.
Uncle Cheng Yanqiu and his family did not go to the card table, so they followed Yu Dong to visit their home.
The second floor is empty and there is nothing interesting to see. The main thing is to look at Yu Dong's room.
Seeing Yu Dong's room full of books, Chen Yuyong smiled and said, "Yu Dong, you and Luo Luo are really a match made in heaven. Looking at your room, I feel like I went to my brother-in-law's house."
The aunt patted her son's head and said, "Study hard with your brother-in-law and read more books."
"Know it."
Chen Tao reluctantly curled his lips and asked Yu Dong, "Brother-in-law, there are so many books here, did you write any of them yourself?"
"Yes." Yu Dong nodded, opened the cabinet, and pointed to the top shelf, "Most of them are here, some single volumes, and some are magazines."
"so much!"
The cabinet is quite big, and the upper compartment is packed to the brim with dozens of books. Of course, they are mainly magazines, and there are twenty or thirty copies of "Science Fiction World" alone.
"There is also "Science Fiction World". I saw someone at school who had read it, but it was full of words and it gave me a headache. I still like to read comics."
Chen Tao picked up a copy of "Science Fiction World" and became even more surprised when he saw the cover. "This cover also has your name, brother-in-law, Yu Dong, the master of science fiction. It looks pretty awesome."
"The title of master of science fiction is promoted by magazines."
"There are also "Harvest", "Zhongshan" and "Contemporary" on it. They are all very powerful magazines. Our teachers read them every day."
Yu Dong smiled, not to mention that although Chen Tao reads little books every day, he can recognize all these literary magazines.
Uncle Chen Yuyong looked at Yu Dong thoughtfully, it seemed that his future nephew and son-in-law was not that simple.
After visiting Yu Dong's house, my uncle's family had a better understanding of Dong Ye. Later, Chen Yuyong always wanted to ask his sister about Yu Dong's situation, but he never found a good opportunity.
Dinner was eaten relatively early, starting at around four o'clock, because everyone was busy going back to Jinling.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu returned to Jinyi.
…
The next morning, as soon as Yu Dong got up, Bi Feiyu and Yu Hua blocked his door.
Yu Dong held a toothbrush basin and asked them, "What's going on?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let me interview you, what is it like to be engaged?"
Yu Dong glanced at the two of them sideways, "You are all experienced people, and you still want to interview me?"
Bi Feiyu chuckled and said, "You are engaged now. Do you want to ask Lao Wu and ask him to share a house with you and Teacher Cheng?"
"I'm going to get married, and I'm going to break your two hearts. We're not married yet, so what's the point of sharing a house? You two came here early in the morning just for this? You're really busy."
Yu Dong ignored them, squeezed some toothpaste and started brushing his teeth.
Yu Hua smiled and said, "It's not all because of this. Since you were not here yesterday, Feiyu and I made a plan. This time we go to Yan Normal University and we can't just hold an exchange meeting. That would be boring."
"Then what else do you want to do?" Yu Dong brushed his teeth, his mouth was full of foam, and his words were a little slurred.
"We haven't played football for a long time. Let's call Hong Feng and Shi Tiesheng back. Let's have a football match. What do you think?"
"Yeah, isn't the World Cup about to start? Let's warm up first."
"Why, you still want to participate in the World Cup." Yu Dong shook his head, "It's just us, it's not easy for Yan Normal University to put together a team that's better than us, do you still want Tie Sheng to
Guarding the gate?”
"Let him guard the gate. He will be our cheerleader this time. Let Mo Yan guard the gate. He can do it well," Yu Hua said.
"Bah." Yu Dong spat out the foam in his mouth, then rinsed his mouth, "I have never seen you so enthusiastic during this exchange meeting."
"Since it is an exchange meeting, of course it needs to be comprehensive." Yu Hua said confidently.
"Hi." Yu Dong sighed, "Okay, you can organize your own team. I'll tell the school later. But I advise you not to be too playful. You still have to prepare well for the exchange meeting. Junior brothers and sisters from the Chinese Department
I don’t have a very good temper. If I see that you don’t take me seriously, I might make things difficult for you on the spot and embarrass you.”
Yu Hua smiled and said, "I believe this. Just look at you and Su Tong."
…
Chen Tao had been feeling groggy when he was reading in the morning. It was almost midnight when they got home last night. By the time they went to bed, it was already a little earlier, and it was already after five o'clock in the morning when they got up, which was a bit overwhelming.
When he finished morning reading, his deskmate Liu Naiwen said to him, "Chen Tao, you stole someone last night. You were yawning just now. Fortunately, your boss didn't come, otherwise you would be dead."
Chen Tao rubbed his head, "My cousin got engaged yesterday, and my brother-in-law's family is in Shanghai, so we took the car for a whole day."
"How's it going? Is it fun to go to Shanghai? Have you seen the Oriental Pearl Tower?" Liu Naiwen asked curiously.
"Didn't I tell you, after riding in the car all day, there is no time to play. My brother-in-law's house is in the suburbs, there is nothing to visit." Chen Tao sighed.
"If you don't brag to me every day about how pretty and talented your sister is, how can you find a brother-in-law from the country?"
Chen Tao rolled his eyes at Liu Naiwen, "That's vulgar, do you know what love is? Besides, my brother-in-law's family is not poor at all, he is also a writer... By the way, does anyone in our class like to watch "Science Fiction World"? I
I think I’ve seen someone before.”
Liu Naiwen pursed his lips in front of him, "Jin Yang, he is the only one in our class who likes to read science fiction novels. I have read a few, but they are not interesting. Why do you ask?"
"I'm going to ask him something."
Chen Tao stood up and walked to Jin Yang and asked: "Jin Yang, do you usually like to watch "Science Fiction World"?"
Jin Yang was doing math problems when he heard Chen Tao's words and looked up at him, "Why do you ask this?"
"Have you heard of Yu Dong?"
Jin Yang asked back, "Do you know Toriyama Akira?"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"Then what you're asking is nonsense, isn't it?"
Chen Tao rolled his eyes, he shouldn't have asked Jin Yang. This guy is usually very arrogant, and he can't afford to look down on anyone just because he studies well.
After all, I am also the player who ranks second all year round. Although you are always first, you should at least show some respect.
Besides, how can the brother-in-law be related to Akira Toriyama? Does Jin Yang mean that the brother-in-law is like Akira Toriyama in the comics world?
It sounds like this, but it's hard to believe.
"You mean, Yu Dong is on the same level as Toriyama Akira?"
"no."
"Oh, then..." Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
"How can Akira Toriyama compare to Yu Dong? It's a joke. The reason why I used Akira Toriyama as an example is because you only know Akira Toriyama."
"As you said... Akina Toriyama is world-class, and his comics have sold tens of millions of copies."
"Is it great if it sells more? Yu Dong has single-handedly driven the domestic... no, even the American science fiction market. The film and television adaptation fee alone is much higher than that of your Akira Toriyama, let alone how many of his
This book will soon have sales of tens of millions."
Looking at Chen Tao's stunned expression, Jin Yang said proudly: "Even if Yu Dong stops writing now, the two books "Resident Evil" and "Second World" alone will be enough for him to last a lifetime."
"Resident Evil? Is the full name "Resident Evil vs. Blue Bloods"? I seem to have seen it before." Chen Tao asked.
"Oh, that is an inferior work that follows the trend. The original version is called "Resident Evil", and I know you have never seen it. Moreover, Yu Dong is not only a good salesman, but also a writer. He also won the Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award.
He is the author of "Death of a Widow", "Mending the Sky", "To the West" and many other rich works. So how can your Akira Toriyama compare with Yu Dong?"
"Hey, hey, it's not appropriate for you to step on one and support the other, isn't it?"
"To be honest, I don't care if you read comics, but don't compare those who draw comics to Yu Dong."
Chen Tao got angry, "Didn't you compare yourself?"
"If you don't ask me, can I compare with them?"
"you……"
Chen Tao was so angry that he wanted to roll up his sleeves and fight with Jin Yang.
But after his mind got overheated, he remembered the purpose of coming here. He just wanted to ask his brother-in-law if he was famous in the science fiction world, but he didn't expect the result to be so unexpected.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, it makes people angry. Although it is true that Yu Dong is his brother-in-law, it always makes people feel uncomfortable when people use Yu Dong to belittle their idol.
Chen Tao stared at Jin Yang for a while, then suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Do you know why I asked you about Yu Dong?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Class is about to start. I suggest you go back to your seat. I want to do a few more questions." Jin Yang said calmly.
"You don't want to know, but I have to tell you." Chen Tao made a grimace, "Hey, I know Yu Dong and had dinner with him yesterday. I didn't expect that."
"You really--"
Jin Yang looked up at Chen Tao, then shook his head and said, "You don't have to do this. This kind of lie is too low-level. If you had dinner with Yu Dong yesterday, it's impossible that you didn't know about his situation and you came to ask me."
Chen Tao scratched his head. Jin Yang's logic was indeed flawless. But the fact was that he did not know that his brother-in-law was so powerful before.
"There's no need for me to lie to you. If you don't believe me, I'll take you back to see him. He teaches at Jinyi."
"It seems you don't know anything about Dongya."
"Haha, start to believe me. In this way, I will take you to see him, but you must apologize to me after seeing him. Toriyama Akira is super powerful. Toriyama Akira is the most powerful cartoonist in the world. Yes.
, he is a cartoonist, not a cartoonist."
Jin Yang glanced at Chen Tao: "I saw Yu Dong. There are many interpretations of this sentence. You can see it when you look at it from a distance, and you can see it when you look at photos."
"I let you meet a real person, let him talk to you, and sign books for you."
Jin Yang narrowed his eyes, "Really?"
"Absolutely true."
"Okay, as long as you can do it, I am willing to do as you say." Jin Yang nodded, "When will you take me to see him?"
"Go tonight."
"make a deal."
