Fangzheng said, "Since it's your hobby, why must you give up?"
Yu Nian said, "It's not that I want to give up, but … Sometimes, we have to choose between dreams and reality."
Fangzheng was even more puzzled. "You've already earned a lot of money. Isn't that enough?"
Yu Nian finished the cigarette in his mouth in one breath. He took out another one and took another deep breath. After smoking half a stick, he exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke, as though he had exhaled a lot of sullen air. He said in a low voice, "I've said it before. Web novelists aren't recognized by mainstream society. Therefore, when I met my girlfriend, I didn't have any hope at all. After going on too many blind dates, what hope could there be?
Fortunately, I paid the down payment to buy a house in the county and bought a car that cost more than a hundred thousand. I had some money in my pocket, so I wasn't as poor as I was in the beginning.
My girlfriend also reads novels, so she was quite interested when she heard that I was a novelist. Later, the more we chatted, the more we got along.
I originally thought that my spring had come, but I didn't expect trouble to come when I was talking about marriage.
You can't imagine the scene of meeting their parents for the first time. I didn't even enter their house. "
Fangzheng was stunned. "Why?"
Yu Nian said with a bitter smile, "I was at their doorstep and heard her father say, 'What bullsh * t novelist? They're all rats in the sewers. Can one of them sell well overseas? Can one of them be immortalized? He can earn money today, but who knows if he will starve to death tomorrow! Let me tell you, instead of finding someone like him, it's better to find a civil servant. It's a secure job with good benefits in all aspects. I'll introduce you to someone. Go take a look tomorrow. '"
Fangzheng was stunned …
Yu Nian said, "Sigh, do you understand now? After getting past the young man, it's even harder for my parents. They don't recognize my profession at all.
The second time I came, her father blocked me at the door and said eccentrically, 'If you want to marry his daughter, buy a house first and write his daughter's name on it.'
I said, 'I already have a house. After the two of us get married, it can be considered a marital property. It's equivalent to splitting it in half.
However, her father disagreed and said, 'If you don't have a house, don't talk about it.'
My girlfriend is really nice to me …
Moreover, web novelists like us are rather nerdy and pure. We don't think too much. We just want to live a quiet life, marry my girlfriend, and have children.
Then I sold the house, borrowed some money and bought a new one.
Then, he gave them two hundred thousand yuan as a betrothal gift.
I fulfilled her father's request, and her father finally relented and allowed his daughter to marry me. "
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng sighed. He never expected marriage to be so troublesome. Fangzheng stroked his chin and thought to himself, "If This Penniless Monk had gone down the mountain, This Penniless Monk would probably not be able to get married. Sigh … This Penniless Monk is so poor. He'll probably be single to the end."
Yu Nian continued, "Never in my dreams did I expect that a nightmare would befall me just as I had my beautiful dream for a while.
I borrowed money from others to hold a banquet, and all my friends and relatives came … "
At this point, Yu Nian sank into his memories. As he spoke, his expression was extremely complicated and pained.
Fangzheng had an idea. He activated A Golden Millet Dream and entered Yu Nian's dream.
Following a commotion, Yu Nian was woken up by his parents. He quickly put on his newly bought confidante, did his hair, and greeted his relatives before following the convoy …
"Little Nian, not bad. You're finally married. When you're done, go to Uncle's place to play!"
"Little Nian, you have to drink a few more cups today. Haha …"
"Old Yu, it's a good thing that the Yu family has a new member. Little Nian, remember to have two more children. More children brings more blessings. "
"Brother Little Yu, I want a big red packet later."
"Brother Little Yu, do you want some candy?"
"Hehe, not bad. You're ahead of your brothers. Let's set off quickly. Brothers, let's meet the bride. "
"Yes! Everyone, let's go. We must bring the bride back today! "
"Gogogo …"
…
Hearing the words of his family and friends, Yu Nian felt delighted. He responded to them one by one, afraid that he would leave someone out. However, he was ultimately not good at dealing with such occasions. His eyes were in a mess, and he did not know who to talk to or what to do …
The entire process, he was pulled away by the wedding planner and his relatives. He had to bring red flowers, take his wallet, and listen to the rules …
The estate was also bustling with noise and excitement because of the wedding. Many people who were exercising in the morning stopped and gathered around to celebrate.
Yu Nian greeted everyone and left with the convoy amidst the congratulations …
After leaving the estate, Yu Nian could still hear the shouts behind him.
"Brother Little Yu, remember to bring Sister-in-law back!"
"Get her back!"
"Haha …"
…
After driving for three hours, the convoy finally arrived at the bride's house.
However, compared to the liveliness of Yu Nian's house, the bride's house appeared especially deserted. There weren't many people, and no one came out to receive them when they saw the convoy arrive.
Upon seeing this scene, many people complained. However, no one would say it out loud on a joyous day.
Yu Nian also had an ominous feeling, but he still took a deep breath and mumbled, "I've already taken the money and bought the house. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
With that said, Yu Nian led a group of family and friends upstairs. When they reached the third floor, Yu Nian began knocking on the door.
However, there was no movement in the house.
"What's going on? Why isn't anyone replying? "Yu Nian's uncle asked.
"Yu Nian, did you find the wrong door?" Yu Nian's cousin asked.
Yu Nian shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Look, there are decorations from the wedding planner on the door."
"It's here. There's no mistake. We went in to set it up yesterday. The makeup artist is still inside. Wait a moment. I'll ask the makeup artist what's going on. "The wedding planner began to make calls, but no one answered.
"Is it because I didn't knock loudly enough? Why don't we try stuffing some red packets in? "someone suggested.
"Forget it. The door is tightly shut. How are you going to stuff red packets in? If you can really stuff it in, who would want such a thin red packet? "Yu Nian's friend said.
Yu Nian took out his cell phone and called his girlfriend, but her phone was switched off.
Just as everyone was at a loss, the door next door opened.
The person who came out was an old man. When the old man saw so many people, he was shocked. When he saw everyone's attire, he said in surprise, "Are you here to pick up the bride?"
Yu Nian said, "That's right. I'm married to Little Ye. I'm here to pick her up today."
The old man acknowledged and said, "Is that so … Then why are you standing here? Hurry up and go in. "
