Yu Dong was woken up by the sound of a rooster crowing.

He rolled over in bed and sat up in a daze. It was already bright outside. He raised his watch and looked at it. It was already eleven o'clock.

Seeing the watch that was still on, he remembered that he had fallen asleep without taking a shower last night.

After the crow, Yu Dong heard the hen clucking again. The sound was not far away, and it sounded like it was in the vegetable garden outside. He stood up and pushed the door open, and saw Feng Ming who was busy in the vegetable garden.

Feng Ming got a nylon net from somewhere, enclosed a piece of land in the vegetable garden, and placed a few chickens sent from his hometown inside. There was also a chicken food bowl inside, and it seemed that he was going to keep them here.

.

Yu Dong scratched his messy hair, smiled and said, "Old Feng, aren't you afraid that the chickens raised here will be eaten by me?"

Feng Ming raised his head and looked at Yu Dong, "You have been sleeping until now. You drank a lot last night. You didn't hold back when you came back... You can eat this chicken if you want. Are you a good chicken?"

"If you can't kill it well, you can always eat well. As long as there are chickens, why don't you worry that no one will help kill them? Yu Hua knows how to kill chickens. Although he is a dentist, he has also touched a scalpel, let alone killing chickens..."

"Can he still kill people?"

"I don't know about murder, but I guess he can cut the appendix of a chicken."

"Chickens still have an appendix? Don't bully me because I'm a physical education teacher who doesn't understand biology." Feng Ming sneered, grabbed a handful of rice husks and threw them into the chicken coop, "Looking at you, you didn't take a shower last night. It's such a hot day.

Yes, sloppy.”

Yu Dong smiled and said, "I suspect that the wine you gave me to drink last night was fake wine, and I fainted when I came back."

Feng Ming smiled disdainfully, "You usually only weigh two or three taels. You weighed half a kilo last night and you can still walk. I'm drunk?"

"Isn't that right? I can't drink two or three ounces of other people's wine, but I can drink half a catty of your wine. Do you think your wine is fake?"

"Yeah, I can't beat you." Feng Ming put the basin down and clapped his hands, "I'll put some chicken food next to it. You can help feed it if you have nothing to do."

Before Dong could reply, Feng Ming walked away.

Yu Dong looked at the chickens that were pecking, stretched his arms and returned to the room. It was really hard to bear not taking a shower in this weather. He planned to take a shower first and then go to the canteen to eat.

But as soon as I returned home, I saw a few pieces of paper scattered on the table, with dense writing on them.

He frowned, what is this? He touched his forehead and thought for a long time before finally remembering that he seemed to have written something when he came back after drinking last night, but he couldn't remember exactly what he wrote.

I picked up one and looked at it. I couldn't quite understand it. The writing was rather sloppy, and the layout was completely out of order. It was written horizontally, vertically, and even diagonally.

Some words overlap with other words and look like a mess.

Not only that, even if they can be barely recognized, many of them are not sentences.

Nonsense words like "Have you eaten?" and "Have you not eaten" often appear, which seem to be meaningless. Moreover, there are a lot of Shanghai dialects and some other words in it.

The other pieces of paper were similar and looked like they were just drunken ramblings.

The main reason is that he doesn't have time to study in detail now, bathing and eating are more important. Fortunately, the hot weather is also good, just get some cold water and wash it off.

After taking a shower, I went to the cafeteria feeling refreshed and happened to meet Hu Changqing, whose face was glowing red.

"Secretary Hu, what happy event did you encounter that made you so happy?"

Hu Changqing was making rice and had just ordered a piece of braised pork. When he saw Yu Dong, he said to the cook, "Xiao Zhao, give Mr. Yu a piece of braised pork too. One piece costs two yuan, and one piece costs three yuan."

Yes, just right."

He handed over two meal tickets and exchanged a large spoonful of braised pork for Yu Dong's lunch box.

Braised pork is the signature dish of the canteen. It costs five yuan a portion, which is considered a luxury. However, because the supply is not large, although it is not cheap, you may not be able to eat it if you come late.

"Hey, this happy event is not ordinary."

"Hey, let's sit down and talk."

The two walked side by side to an empty table and sat down. Hu Changqing said with a smile, "I made a small fortune today, so I can reward myself."

"No wonder, it turned out that I got rich. I was lucky, and I even got a piece of braised pork."

Yu Dongdao didn't ask Hu Changqing what kind of wealth he had made, but Hu Changqing took the initiative and said, "Jimmy made some kind of drama with "Alien Monkey" and gave him a licensing fee of 100,000 yuan. After excluding the miscellaneous money, there are still 65,000 yuan."

The piece is finally in my hands today."

"The copyright fee is 100,000 yuan, and there is still 65,000 yuan left. Why do you need so much money for miscellaneous things?" Yu Dong said in surprise.

"Before, I borrowed a lot of things from the company on credit, including computers, phones, etc., but I never paid them back. This time I paid them back all at once. Moreover, my annual income now exceeds 50,000 yuan. I want to start

My agent took the cut." Hu Changqing explained with a smile.

When it came to getting rid of the pain, Hu Changqing not only did not feel distressed, but also showed a sense of pride.

But think about it, it's true. According to the contract Jimmy signed with them, they started collecting money, which proved that they made money, and it was not a small amount, at least 50,000.

Hu Changqing just said that he made a small fortune. In fact, more than 60,000 yuan can no longer be considered a small fortune. Although the economy has developed rapidly in the past two years and a lot of money has been released, the money is not as valuable as before, but for a university teacher, more than 60,000 yuan is not a small fortune.

It's definitely not a small amount, after all, you can renovate a house for just 20,000 yuan.

But Hu Changqing doesn't have to worry about housing. Although he usually lives in the single dormitory, the school allocated him a house, but he never moved in. In addition, he also has an old house in the local area.

"I will also have to buy a mobile phone later. The price seems to have dropped now. There is also a laptop. Desktop computers are too clumsy and there is no way to bring them with me..."

Yu Dong watched Hu Changqing excitedly planning what he wanted to buy, and couldn't help but sigh. This old Hu still has a young mentality and follows the latest trends. Others as old as him probably only want to save money when they make money.

Even if I have to spend money, I probably won’t think about electronic products.

Lao Hu has a fascination with electronic products. If you ask him to spend a few dollars to eat braised pork, he may feel distressed, but if you spend 10,000 to 20,000 dollars to buy a computer, he won't care too much.

Yu Dong thinks it's pretty good. Lao Hu doesn't have to worry about food, clothing or housing, he has both children, and he basically has to hand it over. His salary is not low now, and it will get higher and higher in the future, even if there is no royalties.

With extra income and no pressure in life, it is completely understandable to spend some money on your own hobbies.

As for what drama he was talking about, Yu Dong knew it. Jimmy had told him before that he wanted to create a science fiction series. The script had been written at that time, and filming has probably started now.

The reason why I chose novels such as "Alien Monkey" to adapt is because the plot is simple, dramatic, and funny, and the market prospects should be very good if it is filmed.

After dinner, Yu Dong went back to the dormitory first, while Hu Changqing went to the office.

After returning to the dormitory, Yu Dong poured himself a glass of water and prepared to rest. He saw the papers he had packed away on the table and picked them up.

I have a lot of free time at the moment, so I just want to study what I wrote last night. After all, this is Yu Dong's first experience of writing such a lot of things while drunk.

At first, I still couldn't understand anything as before, but after reading it for a while, I started to get some clues. It seemed that what was written in it were all what I had seen and heard before.

For example, "Aunt Su ran away with a foreigner", Yu Dong guessed that "Aunt Su ran away with a foreigner".

This was an incident that happened in the village when he was a child. Yu Dong had forgotten Aunt Su's real name. She only remembered that she was the daughter-in-law of Liao Zhengnan in the village. The couple had a bad relationship because they had no children, and they often quarreled. Later, a foreigner came to the village.

Man, soon Aunt Su disappeared too.

People in the village said that Aunt Su fell in love with a foreign man and ran away with him.

Yu Dong was still young at that time, and he didn't know whether what everyone said was true or false. He only knew that a foreign man did come to the village in those two days, and Aunt Su did run away.

Next to this sentence is "Liao Li does not have a child." Yu Dong guessed that he wanted to write "Liao Zhengnan wants a divorce because his son is not his biological son."

This happened two years ago. After Aunt Su ran away, Liao Zhengnan took a new wife home not long after, and later gave birth to a son.

After the child was born, Liao Zhengnan told people everywhere that he could have a baby because there was something wrong with his ex-wife. However, a few years ago, he discovered that his son was not his biological son and wanted to divorce his current wife.

Above "Liao Li Bu Sheng" is "Tao Quilt".

This story will be told when Yu Dong was in junior high school. There was an art teacher in their school named Tao Wenwen, who was young and beautiful. One day, when their classmate Liang Xin passed by Tao Wenwen's dormitory at night, he happened to meet the principal inside.

The principal also ran out to talk to Liang Xin and asked him to help him get a quilt.

This thing is quite magical. When Liang Xin told his classmates at the time, everyone didn't believe it. The principal's son and Yu Dong were still classmates. However, later the principal did divorce his wife and married Tao Wenwen.

Later, the principal was caught engaging in prostitution, which caused an uproar in the school.

Anyway, the things recorded here are messy, covering all eras, including things that happened in the 1950s and 1960s when Yu Dong was not yet born, and these things were all what Yu Dong later heard from his elders.

The characters appearing in it include students, teachers, migrant workers, etc.

The timeline of these things between them is very messy. Sometimes it is happening in the 1950s and 1960s, sometimes it is happening in the 1970s and 1980s, and sometimes it is happening in the 1990s.

Some can be connected together, and some are not related at all.

Yu Dong didn't remember many trivial things, but he still recorded them when he was drunk.

Yu Dong thought for a while and found some new pieces of paper to sort out what he wrote last night.

He originally thought it was not difficult, but when he actually did it, he felt how difficult it was.

On the one hand, the contents recorded are indeed crude and sloppy; on the other hand, many things can only be remembered after thinking about them for a long time, and some of them have no impression at all.

It took Yu Dong half a day to sort out the above contents.

At this moment, the story line became clear. Judging from the time, there should be three lines, the 1950s and 1960s, the 1970s and 1980s, and the 1990s. The last two can actually be merged into one line.

There are many characters involved in it, and there are also many stories, some of which can be connected together, and some of which are independent of each other. If this is a novel, it is a novel with a bit of historical meaning and focusing on the Shanghai market.

But that alone would not make it a novel.

Yu Dong needs to add a few main characters to connect the stories inside, so that they can live from the earliest 1950s and 1960s to the 1990s. And to show the changes in Shanghai, local dialect is definitely indispensable, but purely local dialect is

It is very unfriendly to non-local readers, and he has to spend a lot of effort to transform the local dialect so that people can not only feel Shanghai through the language, but also understand it.

It's just that if Yu Dong does this, Jin Yucheng's flowers may not come out later.

But compared to "Flowers", Yu Donghui did it more thoroughly. He himself has no attachment to dialect writing, and even the modified dialect will only be leftovers in his works.
