Chapter 423 424 [Ah Zheng, my parents want to see you]
After the exam season is over, the school begins the winter vacation.
Xiang Nan didn't go home immediately. He told his mother that the teacher helped him find another part-time job, and he would not have a holiday until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. On that day, he can go home.
After hearing this, his mother told him to work hard and perform well, not to let the teacher and the company down.
Xiang Nan fully agreed.
Actually, he is planning to stay in Hujiang to write.
Because the update of "Douluo Dalu" cannot be stopped. Moreover, he is now serializing a new novel "River God" in the magazine "Legends of the Ancient Times", and these two books need quite a lot of time.
It is worth mentioning that the publication of the physical book of "Douluo Dalu" has been finalized, and Sanlian Publishing House is responsible for publishing it. At present, the first volume is being printed, and there are 500,000 copies in the first printing, which is quite impressive.
In addition, "Tiankeng Falconry" was first printed with 200,000 copies. After its release, the sales volume was quite good. Therefore, Baihua Publishing House signed a new agreement with Xiang Nan to print an additional 200,000 copies.
In addition, "Tiankeng Chasing Bandits" has also begun to be released, with an initial print of 300,000 copies.
As a result, millions of copies of Xiang Nan's books are being printed. He also received more than two million royalties, which can be said to have increased his net worth.
…
Because Xiang Nan is not going home for the time being, Zheng Wei is not in a hurry to go home.
She wanted to stay in Hujiang, spend more time with Xiang Nan, and return home on the 27th or 8th.
Anyway, she has nothing important to do when she goes home, she just watches TV, plays games, and eats snacks at home.
Instead of this, it is better to stay in Hujiang and accompany Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan naturally welcomed her decision with both hands.
…
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Hujiang City is decorated with lanterns, festoons and firecrackers, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is very strong.
Although Xiang Nan and Zheng Wei didn't plan to stay in Hujiang for the New Year, but affected by the festive atmosphere, they happily bought new year's goods, cleaned the house, and pasted Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters on the door, just like a For the young couple who want to spend the New Year together.
"Ah Zheng, I hope there will be a year like this where the two of us celebrate the Spring Festival together." Zheng Wei said with a smile while sticking the word "Fu".
"Don't worry, there will be." Xiang Nan laughed.
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the two had New Year's Eve dinner three days in advance.
The next day, Xiang Nan sent Zheng Wei to the car to go home, and then he himself took the bus and returned to Nantong.
After returning home, Xiang Nan gave another 20,000 yuan to his mother, saying that he earned money from his internship in the company.
"Ah Zheng, you should keep this money for yourself. I don't need much money at home, and you need it more than I do outside." Mother returned the money to Xiang Nandao.
"Mom, just accept it. I'm working part-time every month now, and the money I earn is enough for me to live on." Xiang Nan smiled, "I just hope you can be less tired and take care of your body. My son will have a great future."
"Yeah." Hearing what he said, his mother's face was filled with joy, "Ah Zheng, good boy, you have grown up. Mom is so happy."
"Don't worry, Mom, I will make you happier in the future." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Okay, I bought Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, I will post them now. Let's have a happy new year."
"Yes." Mother nodded.
…
Xiang Nan spent a happy New Year with his mother. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, he returned to Hujiang again.
"Ah Zheng, you have to study hard and work hard. Mom will also take good care of your body and see that you will be successful soon." When his mother sent him to the car, Dun Dun instructed.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely work hard." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.
In 2008, the housing prices in Hujiang increased significantly compared to last year.
At the beginning of 2007, the housing prices in Baoshan, Songjiang, and Minhang areas were only four to five thousand and one square meter. It's only been a year now, and the housing prices in these places have generally risen to 6,000 to 7,000 square meters.
As for the houses in Hongkou, Zhabei, Putuo and other city centers, the average price has risen to the level of 30,000 to 40,000. It's really a year late to make a move, and you will make a lot of less money.
…
Just as he was thinking about buying a house, he suddenly received a call from Zheng Wei.
"Ah Zheng, my parents want to see you." She said with some embarrassment.
"Uncle, aunt want to see me?" Xiang Nan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard that.
"Yeah, during Chinese New Year, I accidentally told them about my engagement to you." Zheng Wei said shyly, "That's why they want to meet you."
"Okay, since uncle and aunt want to see me, then I will go to see them." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Ah Zheng, are you really willing to come?" Zheng Wei asked in surprise.
"Of course. They are your father and mother, and they are not the Great Demon King. I have nothing to be afraid of." Xiang Nan laughed, "Besides, it's not that I can't do anything, so there's nothing to be ashamed of."
"Tch, virtue." Zheng Weijiao said angrily, "Then come quickly."
"Don't worry, I have to get ready first." Xiang Nan said with a smile, and then he bought some expensive gifts, put his own real estate certificates on him, got into the car and set off on the road.
…
Xiang Nan drove all the way, and arrived in Dexing, Jiangxi in the afternoon.
Then according to the navigation, he drove the car to the Xingchen Community where Zheng Wei is located.
"Ah Zheng, here it is." Zheng Wei had already been waiting at the entrance of the community, and then she got into the car, guiding Xiang Nan to park the car downstairs.
"The fourth floor is my home~" Zheng Wei pointed to the upstairs and smiled.
Xiang Nan nodded, and then took the elevator up to the fourth floor with bags of presents.
"Mom, Ah Zheng is here!" Zheng Wei rushed to open the door, shouting happily.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly walked two steps and entered her home.
He saw a kind-faced, beautiful and dignified woman walking towards her.
Xiang Nan hurriedly bowed slightly, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Chen Xiaozheng."
"Yes." The woman looked Xiang Nan up and down, then nodded with a smile, "Hi, classmate Chen, I'm Weiwei's mother, and my name is Zou Jiangyun."
Xiang Nan looks talented, and he is quite polite, unlike the kind of talented people who are proud of their talents, or the kind of bad students who are foolish, and left a good first impression on Zou Jiangyun.
"Please sit down, classmate Chen." Zou Jiangyun nodded and said, "Wei Wei, go make tea."
"Aunt Zou, I don't know what you like, so I just bought some small gifts. It's not a respect." Xiang Nan offered the gift again.
Zou Jiangyun was slightly surprised when he saw it.
Seeing that Xiang Nan was really willing to pay for it, ginseng, bird's nest, deer antler, and cordyceps are all good nourishing products. Such a large and small bag, added together, may not cost thousands of dollars.
"Student Chen, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it." She hastily declined.
"Aunt Zou, the gift is more expensive than cheap, it's mainly because of my intentions." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Just accept it."
"Student Chen is really good at talking." Zou Jiangyun smiled, "I heard from Weiwei, are you writing novels?"
"Yes, the main job is to study, and write novels part-time." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "I am still a student, and I think studying is the most important thing. Writing novels is just a means of making a living."
"Well, you are right." Zou Jiangyun nodded with a smile.
