Chapter 41: Covering the Sky
"Hey, Yao Yao, why are you back already? I didn't see Xu An?"
When she saw her daughter return, Zhang Xia pulled her aside and asked her in a low voice.
"Yes, I saw him. I gave him the things and came back," Zhang Leyao replied.
"Hey, you little rascal, you're usually so smart, why are you so slow now?" Zhang Xia chuckled and lowered her voice, "That Xu An kid's really something now. I heard he's made a lot of money writing books online. He bought his dad a luxury car, I heard it's worth hundreds of thousands, and he also gave his mom a gold necklace, a gold bracelet, and gold earrings."
"Xu An is a handsome young man, filial, and good at making money. Our family still owes his family 200,000 yuan."
At this point, Zhang Xia's tone softened: "Yaoyao, you're in your twenties now, I think it's time to consider marriage."
What do you think of Xu An?
Hearing this, Zhang Leyao's face flushed. "Mom, I know my own affairs. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to play with my aunt and the others."
After saying that, she quickly fled.
"Hey! Yao Yao! Hey!" Zhang Xia called out twice, but when she couldn't get through to her, she could only sigh.
......
the other side.
Xu An carried the New Year's gifts Zhang Leyao had given him upstairs. As soon as he put them down, he heard his mother's voice in his ear.
"Who sent it?"
"Zhang Leyao delivered it. She said that they had guests at their house, and since Aunt Zhang couldn't come, she asked her to deliver it," Xu An replied.
"A person from Leyao?" Xu's mother asked.
"I'm going back," Xu An replied.
"Why didn't you call everyone up to play?" Mrs. Xu raised her voice.
"I called out, and she said there were guests at home and she had to go back to greet them," Xu An replied.
Upon seeing Xu An's nonchalant demeanor, Xu's mother felt inexplicably irritated. "Get out, get out! I told you to go find someone else to play with, but you don't even bother to invite them up when they come to play."
Xu An looked completely innocent. "Mom, how can you blame me for this?"
"Besides, everyone said there were guests at home, so I can't just force her to come up here."
"I'm annoyed by your appearance, get out of here." Xu's mother was too lazy to continue talking to her brainless son.
Xu An pursed his lips and ran away in a flash.
After dinner.
Xu An was dragged along to play mahjong by his second and third aunts.
As a resident of Linjin City, I've practically been raised to play mahjong since childhood.
But as the saying goes, old ginger is spicier.
Xu An's skills are still far inferior to those of his second aunt and the others.
I lost about two hundred yuan in one night.
The family plays mahjong mainly for entertainment; they don't play for high stakes.
Visiting relatives begins on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my second and third aunts and their families left to spend the holiday with my uncle's family.
I walked from the second day of the Lunar New Year all the way to the sixth.
The visit to relatives is when the trip is officially over.
Xu An finally had some free time and lay at home, not wanting to go anywhere.
Although he was tired, Xu An made a big splash among his relatives during this visit.
A relative asked about Xu's father's Audi and how much it cost.
As a result, Xu's father's answer shocked the relatives, who praised Xu An for being filial and capable. Then, when they talked about their own son, they said he was a good-for-nothing and lazy all day long.
Then, other relatives asked about Xu's mother's gold necklace and gold bracelet.
Then Xu's mother proudly said that it was a gift from her son.
They all praised Xu An one after another.
Some people, feeling a bit jealous, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, asking where Xu An worked and how much he earned.
When Xu's mother told the truth, all the relatives were stunned when she mentioned that Xu An's monthly salary was over a million yuan.
In their eyes, an annual salary of one million is already a mark of exceptional talent, while a monthly income of one million is simply unimaginable.
In short, Xu Anquan has made up for the loss of face he suffered in front of his relatives in the past two years.
At the age of Mr. and Mrs. Xu, the competition is no longer about how much money they make, but about the success of their children and grandchildren.
This year, Xu An really made his parents proud in front of all the relatives.
One night, Xu's father got so happy that he got drunk.
The New Year is over.
Xu Anquan devoted himself wholeheartedly to writing.
The novel "Covering the Sky" has also reached its finale as scheduled.
"Ascending the path to heaven, singing as we go, a flick of the finger can blot out the sky!"
[Completed]
Turn to the last page.
Looking at the page that could no longer be turned, with the words "Completed" written on it, Fan Xiaochen let out a long sigh. For a moment, his thoughts were in turmoil, and he didn't know where to begin.
He opened the comments section, and it was full of congratulations on the series ending.
He thought for a moment and then started typing on the nine keys on his phone.
"When I first found it among the new books, I was attracted by its title. I was just thinking of trying something light, but after opening the first page, I was completely absorbed in it until I saw the words 'Completed' at the end. I followed it for several months, and when I saw the ending, I was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know what to say."
"The world of Shrouding the Heavens, created by Zhuifeng Laozhe, is so grand. Many times while reading it, I couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly talented Zhuifeng Laozhe is. He's practically a god!"
"Congratulations on the completion of 'Covering the Sky'! I hope Zhui Feng Lao Zei will write the next one soon. I can already foresee how difficult it will be for him during this period without a new book."
Finally, I hope that the old thief who chases the wind will become more and more awesome!
There are many die-hard fans like Fan Xiaochen who have been following the series from the beginning, and the end of "Covering the Sky" has left them with a lot of feelings.
Many people generously donated large sums of money as tips.
Many people in the comments section also urged the author to release a new book soon.
On the day that "Covering the Sky" ended, Xu An also received a call from Guan Hai.
I hope he will come to the headquarters of the Endpoint Novel.
Let's discuss the contract with the author and the next book.
As Xu An's editor, Guan Hai naturally knew about Xu An's new book in advance.
As the first reader of the new book, he read the first 100,000 words that Xu An sent him and exclaimed, "Awesome!"
After telling his parents, Xu An rushed to Jiangdu.
The Endpoint Novel Headquarters.
in the office.
Xu An sat facing a middle-aged man.
"Mr. Xu, I think it's unlikely that you'll retain the copyright to the next book," the middle-aged man said.
Wang Xiang is the editor-in-chief of Zhidian Novel Network, the head of the editorial department, and the most powerful person on the website.
The selection of top-tier artists, their contracts, and the allocation of resources are all decided by him alone.
"Editor-in-Chief Wang, I'm definitely going to keep the copyright to this book. If you're not willing, I don't care if I sign this 'super author' contract. At worst, I'll just give up this pen name and write on other websites." Xu An went straight for the kill, not giving Wang Xiang a chance.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiang immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, there's no need to be so extreme. Negotiation is all about talking, isn't it?"
"As the largest online novel platform in China, our Endpoint Novels possesses resources that other websites cannot match..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu An interrupted him abruptly, his attitude firm.
"I only have this one request. If you can't meet it, then I definitely won't publish my next book here."
