Li Tuo was already aged to know his destiny. His wife was newly mourned. When he caught up with the New Year, his mood was naturally depressed. Lin Chaoyang's arrival diluted the lonely and deserted atmosphere at home, and he also regained some vitality.

Lin Chaoyang chatted with him for a few words, and somehow, Li Tuo talked about Zhang Nuanxin again.

"When I was young, I was so beautiful."

When he said this, his face was filled with a look of remembrance and a smile spread slightly from the corner of his mouth.

Young couples come together in old age.

Li Tuo and his wife have been married for more than 30 years and have a deep relationship. Li Tuo has a wide personality and is hospitality. When he was young, he likes to call friends the most. He puts it on other women. His warm family life is disturbed so much that he has to make trouble from time to time.

But Zhang Nuanxin has never quarreled with Li Tuo for such a thing. She warmly treats everyone. She is unwilling to speak. She often sits there dignifiedly as a quiet listener.

Lin Chaoyang listened to Li Tuo's words and recalled the scene back then, and his mood was a little heavy.

Seeing that Li Tuo's house was deserted and not as good as the New Year, he pulled Li Tuo and asked him to have supper at home.

After dinner, Li Tuo said he wanted to go to the West Courtyard to watch a movie. Lin Chaoyang went there with him, searched for a while, and found a movie "Gate of Heaven" directed by Michael Simino.

This film that represents the American Civil War is one of Zhang Nuanxin's favorite movies during her lifetime.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening after watching the movie. Lin Chaoyang chatted with Li Tuo again, and both of them fell asleep late at night.

The next morning, it was bright.

Li Tuo woke up and his spirits were obviously much better than yesterday and he was leaving without waiting for breakfast.

"What are you busy with? Let's leave after breakfast." Lin Chaoyang advised him.

"My daughter is back today, so she has to go home early to clean up."

After saying that, he hurriedly left. Tao Yushu looked at his back and said, "I can't see it before. He is more dependent on Sister Warmth."

"He just called out fiercely."

Seeing Li Tuo's mood a lot, Lin Chaoyang was also relieved.

There was nothing wrong with the second day of the lunar month, Tao Xiwu took two young people at home to watch a movie. Tao Yushu was playing international long distance, and Lin Chaoyang accompanied Tao's father to play chess for a while.

It was almost lunch, and the two of them finished, and they heard that Zhao Li was asking Lin Erchun for advice on buying a house.

Zhao Li has been doing clothing business for many years and has taken Du Feng’s free ride. She first opened a small shop and later became a Hongxiu agent.

Hongxiu's six stores in four districts including Haidian, Xicheng, Fengtai, etc. are all her, with a turnover of several million a year.

Lin Chaoyang's judgment of Tao Yucheng was correct. He had been selling BP machines before, but he had been arguing for several months and there was no movement.

On the contrary, because of Tao Yushu, he served as consultants for many crews, reviewed and introduced actors. His life was leisurely and he did not delay making money.

Of course, it must be incomparable to Zhao Li's clothing store.

After getting money in the past two years, Zhao Li has always wanted to change her house, but Tao’s father and mother are old and unwilling to move.

The two daughters were not around, and only the couple could take care of them. Zhao Li was embarrassed to mention changing the house.

She studied houses with Lin Erchun today, not for herself, but for Tao Xiwen.

In a blink of an eye, Tao Xiwen has graduated for more than a year. In the 1990s, the top students from Stanford graduated and returned to China. Various universities, research institutes, telecommunications and banks are rushing to ask for it. Yan University’s Computer Department and Computing Center also specially invited him to work in school.

During this period, Zhang Xinghua, director of the computing center, ran to the Tao family to visit the thatched cottage three times, but Tao Xiwen just didn't want to. According to his statement,

He is not determined to teach and educate people, he wants to do something he likes, and does not want to be restrained.

Although he refused to recruit several universities and research institutes and did not find any units, Tao Xiwen did nothing.

Last year, when Yan University’s CERNET network was built, he went to help and connected the small studio he built on campus to the Internet.

It has become one of the few places in Yandali that can be connected to the Internet except for libraries, electronic education, old chemistry buildings, etc.

His family didn't know what he was studying specifically. Anyway, Zhao Li said that he was busy from morning to night every day.

The superior family conditions are Tao Xiwen's confidence in pursuing interest. He is busy with things every day and does not ask for information or urge him. However, the family members are not left behind when they should plan for him.

Zhao Li has been worried about the two things most since the second half of last year. One is to exchange Tao Xiwentao for blind dates, and the other is to buy a house for him.

After the New Year, Tao Xiwen was 24 years old and was not old. But he stayed in the room all day and never went out, even if he stayed until 34.

It is impossible for Sui to find a girlfriend, so Zhao Li was anxious.

After finding a girlfriend, she definitely won’t have a house. These two things have become her current top priority.

In 1996, the real estate market in Yanjing was far less popular than that in later generations. Asian Games Village and Fangzhuang were the two hottest sections.

There are many new properties coming up, many of which are exported housing, and the attention is also high.

This attention is mainly brought by two aspects: one is that there are many celebrities living there, and the other is that the housing prices are high.

How high is it?

The cheapest one is $2,000 per square meter, and the expensive one is almost $4,000.

Don’t think it’s expensive. People’s housing prices are not calculated in RMB, they have to buy them in US dollars. Most people can’t buy them even if they want to.

"The Asian Games Village is not good, and it will be nothing in ten years. Young people love to be lively, so they go to Xidan and the Financial Street. From then on, banks and securities companies are crowded, all with high wages, and the housing prices are definitely not as good as possible.

It's not far from Haidian, so it's convenient to drive back in the future—"

Lin Erchun talked endlessly about the house selection scriptures to Zhao Li, and she was stunned and even more attentively asked for the tricks here. Lin Erchun's good teacher was completely inspired and took out a map of Yanjing to make a move.

"Mom, don't worry about the house." Tao Xiwen said as he listened to the topic Zhao Li and Lin Erchun were discussing.

He studied in the United States for two years and internship for more than half a year. He praised tens of thousands of dollars, and his savings were more than 99% of people in this era.

"I bought mine, it's your business to be able to live." Tao Xiwen suddenly said nothing.

Tao Yushu came back after the phone call and said to Tao Xiwen during dinner: "The email system you developed is very useful. Have you ever thought about starting a company?"

Tao Xiwen did not really do anything this year after returning to China. At the beginning of the year, he felt that using the full English interface email in China was inconvenient, so he developed a Chinese email system himself.

Tao Xiwen shook her head when she heard this, "There are too few Internet users in China now, and the email address cannot be profitable."

"Not able to make a profit now does not mean that there is no way to make a profit in the future. The business model is explored bit by bit."

Tao Yushu admires this eldest nephew very much. He is smart, steady, and has strong research spirit, but he also has shortcomings. Perhaps because of his family background, he is too bookish and too idealistic.

"You are doing things based on your interests now, of course, but you also need to spend some energy thinking about how to monetize your interests."

Zhao Li said from the side, "Your aunt is right. You don't need to make money at home, but you can't do it all day long.

Building 11, Aunt Liu, her niece is now studying for graduate school at Renmin University. I will wait for two days to meet you."

This topic is even more stiff than Tao Yucheng, and he is really worthy of being a couple.

Tao Xiwen said with some resistance: "Mom, I don't plan to find a girlfriend now."

"I didn't ask you to find a girlfriend, so you can go and have a look first. I'm a friend, but I'm very good at getting along with her. Her mother graduated from Yan Normal University. She is an alumnus with your aunt and her father is in a ministry."

Tao Yushu shook her head. What she was going to say was successfully broken by Zhao Li, and she did not mention it again.

Two weeks later, just two days after the Lantern Festival, Lin Chaoyang appeared in the People's Literature magazine. Today is the day of the seminar on the works "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes".

Since its publication, "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes", it has caused a rare sensation in the contemporary literary world, and the domestic literary community has an unprecedented reputation for this novel.

Many critics believe that the novel is "not inferior to those that won the Nobel Prize in Literature."

Therefore, today a seminar on work was held for this novel, with very high specifications, and the source of guests also broke the routine of general seminar on work.

Not only were there writers and critics invited by People's Literature, but there were also people from the General Political Department and Culture Department and professors from the ZYD History Research Office.

After the seminar began, everyone expressed their views and thoughts on the novel. Overall, the experts present gave the novel a very high evaluation.

". In our contemporary literary world, "The Right Way is Vicissitudes" is undoubtedly a tree with lush branches and leaves in the jungle of novels.

The shining tree is indeed an artistic peak that rises from the ground, has infinite scenery and is breathtaking!"

"This work has both serious and profound ideological content and vivid and fascinating storylines. The perfect combination of the two improves the taste of the novel.

The plot is grand and the characters are developed in a complete and natural way.

In particular, it can combine the fate of the characters with the historical changes of the contemporary era, which not only enhances the depth and richness of the characters' personality, but also gives the work a strong sense of heaviness."

There are also rational discussions among them. Critic Cai Kui proposed: "In the second half of the novel, the plot promotion has become obvious. There is a process of deduction with a preset result, which is too presumptuous, and the magnificent decline at the beginning is missing."

Lin Chaoyang responded with a smile: "I have something to say about this issue."

He is not a person who can't stand criticism. He humbly accepted some of the questions raised by everyone before, but he wanted to argue for himself on this issue.

"When Lao Cai talked about the weak plot in the second half, he must be referring to the War of Liberation. Let me explain first, I have consulted more than twenty veteran generals for this novel.

The battlefield situation and overall direction involved in the novel are in line with the situation at that time. As a novel, its layout is definitely not tortuous enough and has fallen into the rock.

But that's the reality. You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame me, I, D's generals, are too weird.

Just like the Si Du Chishui commanded by a great man, can you say that KMT is too incompetent? It is really a great man's prediction of the battle situation is so wonderful that he is simply standing from the perspective of God."

Lin Chaoyang's tone of speaking was relaxed and pleasant, and people from the Ministry of Culture of the General Administration and the D History Research Office couldn't help laughing.

Among the guests present, they knew the best of their knowledge about the history of modern wars, which can be said to be well-known.

The more they understand, the more they know how correct Lin Chaoyang said.

Although my D's history of victory has also experienced various hardships, it is indeed a history of cheating.

Professor Zhang Hongchang from the D History Research Office stood up to endorse Lin Chaoyang and said:
