Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 31 Chapter 31: The last year of the old century

The peaceful days passed quickly, and the end of the period passed in a blink of an eye, and the New Year bell of 1999 was about to ring.

"A Couple Made in Heaven" was written very quickly and smoothly. I don't know whether it was due to the enhanced writing power or the difference in subject matter, but Shanhe did not encounter any difficulties.

This is a story that brings laughter and tears, a story about twin sisters who help their parents gain redemption by exchanging identities.

When the manuscript arrived at Qu Ling's place, it was quickly decided to serialize it in Germination Magazine for six issues, and then publish it in a single volume after completion.

"We Are Young" has sold more than two million copies, reaching 2.23 million copies. It will take time to break through 2.5 million copies.

With the end of the explosive sales period of the novel, the topic of mountains and rivers gradually disappeared, leaving only a slow echo. People knew that there was such a young man who had created a miracle, and that someone born in the 1980s had already risen up and made a huge voice. , tell the world about their existence and dignity.

During the Spring Festival of 1999, my grandparents came to the county town, and my teachers and grandma also joined in preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner. There was a row of colored lights hanging in the yard, and the two families became one family in the living room, chatting about the past and thinking about the future.

"This year has been so dreamy. I feel like I'm still floating in the air. I'm both happy and worried at the same time!" Qiu Jiang lamented.

Xie Meiyu answered: "No, my parents, teachers and teachers, my wife, the cash in the bank card at home is over one million, and I have bought so many houses, I feel dizzy just thinking about it!"

When my grandparents heard about it for the first time, their eyes widened. "Where did you get so much money and house?"

"With what your grandson earned, Xiaohe wrote two books and sold millions of copies across the country. Your grandson has become successful." Yu Zhengchong explained to Qiu Jiang and his wife.

"How much money can you make by writing two books..."

Qiu Dahai and his wife digested the shocking news with their mouths open. Millions, my God!

Yu Zhengchong continued: "Northern Fujian County is too small to accommodate Xiaohe. In the second half of the year, I almost rushed into the county magistrate's office. Fortunately, Xiaohe kept up with his performance, while ordinary people were ruined!"

The teacher's wife also supported: "Northern Fujian is too small, and the narrow field of vision leads to short-sightedness. Look at those people who were suddenly shocked and didn't know what to say."

Qiu Jiang and his wife looked at each other, "We have also discussed that we are going to send our children to study in Magic City in high school. We already have a house, and we can apply for a residence in Magic City. The school magazine also asked for help, and Magic City No. 1 Middle School , even the Magic City Experimental Middle School is willing to recruit Shanhe to enroll."

"Who among you will go to the magic city to take care of Xiaohe? Meiyu is ready to resign?" asked Mrs. Xie.

Xie Meiyu opened her mouth to speak but then looked at her husband.

"We have work and a little one. Hey, teacher, how about you and your wife going to the Magic City?" Qiu Jiang asked cautiously.

"Hahaha, you two actually came up with this idea, Lao Xie, what do you think?" Yu Zhengchong asked his old wife.

"I don't have any objections. It's okay to go to the magic city and stay for a while. I'm almost exhausted from retiring and staying at home!"

Qiu Jiang and his wife cheered when they heard this, "That's great. You don't need to worry about anything else. You and I will watch over Xiaohe and not be afraid of him becoming a monster!"

Shanhe listened quietly to the arrangements made by his elders. As a minor, he did not have the right to make his own choices. The elders decided to give him a different environment to grow up in, and he could only accept it.

Northern Fujian, the hometown where he was born and raised! He doesn't want to leave, but he will leave eventually.

In his previous life, he stepped on the train heading north with tears in his eyes. In this life, he will greet a bigger stage with a smile.

Change the map and continue fighting monsters!

The 1999 Spring Festival Gala was pretty good. The sketch "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" by Lao Zhao and Lao Song made everyone laugh. "Go Home Often" also sang the voice of the common people. The seventy-year-old Teacher Zhao Lirong also gave people the final performance, and a melodious and moving song "Song of the Seven Sons" reminded the return of Omen this year.

The year 1999 has arrived with the laughter of the whole family, and the new century is just around the corner.

New Year greetings are a traditional custom among Chinese people. It is a way for people to bid farewell to the old year, welcome the new year, and express their best wishes to each other.

People visit relatives and friends a few days before the New Year to maintain mutual friendship and expand their social network.

Shanhe's family doesn't have many relatives. Xie Meiyu's parents passed away early, and his two brothers are out of town. Qiu Jiang’s relatives are all in his hometown. Therefore, the Qiu family spends the Spring Festival receiving visits from others.

The second and third articles of "Inheritance on the Bite of the Tongue" were published in Sprout Magazine one after another.

The article focuses on the selection, processing and cooking of food, connecting the stories and emotions of the fathers, outlining the cultural inheritance brought by traditional Chinese skills, and showing the unique spirit and will of the Chinese nation.

The two articles, which together amounted to less than 50,000 words, won a lot of plaudits from the literary world and were reprinted in various literary newspapers and periodicals.

Life Magazine even opened a food column based on the three A Bite of Heritage series and invited Shanhe to write articles.

As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, the lively atmosphere of the New Year gradually dissipates. School goes to school, work goes to work, and everyone returns to their daily routine.

Starting this year, Northern Fujian County has begun a large-scale transformation of the county and has begun to set up industrial parks.

Construction of a cable bridge has begun on the Yuexi River in front of the school, and the old pier has been demolished. After this year, the ferry boat in the county will be removed from people's sight, and it can only return to the swaying waves in memory.

I don’t know when computer games became popular in northern Fujian counties. Computer rooms of various sizes were built next to schools. Single-player games such as Red Alert, StarCraft, and Invincible Heroes attracted the interest of a large number of students.

Fatty and the others are no exception.

"Qiu Shen, you have a computer at home. Do you play games at home?" Li Xiaohui asked.

“Does clearing mines count?”

"I'll go, what a waste! Buy a computer and play Minesweeper, pretend to be an invincible hero, and I'll teach you how to play!" Xiaohui encouraged.

Shanhe looked at Xiaohui with disdain, "Do you know typing, programming, and surfing the Internet? It's still a waste. I think using a computer to play games is also a waste."

"There are so many people playing computer games now that Datou and I can't get a seat. It's still expensive, two yuan an hour!"

Shanhe understood what Xiaohui meant, "Okay, I'll go find some game boards tomorrow, but I've agreed that it will end every day when my mother comes. You all know the consequences of my mother getting mad!"

"Qiu Daxian, you are my god!" Xiaohui cheered and went to find Big Tou Lao Feng.

Today's computer game rooms are the prototype of Internet cafes, but this year's network is still in its preliminary stages. One phone line can only connect to one computer. If you want to dial-up Internet access, you have to invest a not-so-expensive network fee of 20,000 yuan. Very few people in China have access to the Internet.

In November last year, Ma Huateng established an Internet outlet in Shenzhen, connected four telephone lines, and spent 80,000 yuan on four computers. In total, it could only meet the Internet needs of more than 200 people, and there was still a queue.

The current network can’t afford to hurt it.

Without the Internet, Shanhe has been looking for something to kill his free time.

Photography is a good choice, but you can only play blindly by yourself. Without a teacher, Shanhe doesn’t even know how to develop photos!
