Chapter 3 Blue Love of Life and Death
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and saw Meng Jia standing pretty beside his bed.
"I made meatball noodles for you. After eating, go and greet the New Year. Others will gossip if it's too late."
"Okay, Sister Jia, get up right away."
Jiang Changsheng put on his clothes, washed up quickly, ate delicious meatball noodles, and then walked out of the house.
Meng Jia did not follow. She stayed at home, waiting for others to come home to pay New Year greetings.
This is a custom in the village. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, one must visit every household to pay New Year greetings.
"Come on! Come on! Meet in 98! Come on, come on, meet in 1998!"
The village radio was already playing the hit song from yesterday's Spring Festival Gala. Under the singing voice of "Yan Yao 98", Jiang Changsheng quickly walked through the village and completed the New Year greeting mission.
After returning home, Jiang Changsheng couldn't wait to start exercising according to the exercise plan.
The physical training strategy is not complicated. It is based on Yuanrong Zhuang Kung Fu and combined with the three exercise methods of archery pose, horse bending pose, and snake wrapping pose. Yuan Rong Zhuang Kung Fu exercises every part of the body. Long-term practice can strengthen muscles externally and strengthen internally.
Zang-fu improves a person's physique as a whole.
The archery pose focuses on exercising strength and muscles, the horse-crouching pose exercises the lower limbs and dodge ability, and the snake-wrapping pose improves the body's flexibility and coordination.
Jiang Changsheng's feet were uneven and shoulder-width apart, his knees were slightly bent, and his hands were bent in front of him as if holding a big ball. He started to stand with specific breathing and meditation.
In just ten seconds, Jiang Changsheng fell to the ground with a thud.
"Damn, this Yuan Rong Zhuan is so difficult. With my body, I can easily do a hundred squats. I can even do the Zha Ma Step for about half an hour. I can't even do the Yuan Rong Zhuan for half a minute."
Jiang Changsheng felt weak all over and did not dare to practice anymore.
After returning to the house and resting for a while, he felt hungry. Jiang Changsheng did not take the initiative to ask for extra food, but just endured his hunger and waited for lunch to arrive.
The whole family was supported by Meng Jia's job in a weaving factory. The salary of about 800 yuan a month had to cover the food, clothing, housing and transportation for two people. It also paid for Jiang Changsheng's schooling. He saved up for college tuition, and his life was very tight.
Jiang Changsheng had a very good appetite before, so Meng Jiacai lived frugally and was somewhat malnourished.
The lotus root and pork ribs soup and meatballs I had in the past two days were also prepared for the Chinese New Year.
“The top priority is to make money quickly!”
Jiang Changsheng endured his hunger and thought in his mind.
After replaying the memories in last night's dream, Jiang Changsheng found that his memory had improved, especially his past life experiences, which he could vividly remember.
The memory of past lives is like a long video, hidden deep in your mind and can be retrieved at any time.
He carefully recalled the opportunities to make a fortune in 1998, and found that there were really no business opportunities to get rich through speculation. The main reason was that he was born in 1990 in his previous life. He was only 8 years old in 1998 and did not have access to many things at all.
"It seems that France won the World Cup in 1998, and I didn't pay attention to the results of other teams before. The key is that there is neither principal nor channel for betting on football. If a butterfly effect occurs and France does not win the championship in this life, it may have to lose money.
It’s not okay to gamble on football... I’d better just be a literary copywriter. I’m 15 years old now and I have to go to school after the Chinese New Year. Writing books is the most suitable thing at the moment.”
Jiang Changsheng was a lawyer in his previous life. As the saying goes, grammar does not distinguish between families. His own writing is very good. In addition, he also likes to read all kinds of miscellaneous books. After resigning from Shencheng, he worked as an Internet writer for five years. Writing novels is easy for him.
When he was thinking about what to write for his first book, Meng Jia pulled a short and fat girl into Jiang Changsheng's house.
"Have a great New Year, Changsheng. I wish you good luck in the Year of the Tiger and good academic performance!" said the short and fat girl.
Jiang Changsheng had already stood up and cupped his hands in a pretentious manner, "Thank you, Sister Chunmei, and I also wish you a happy Year of the Tiger, a mighty tiger, an early marriage, and an early son!"
When Meng Jia heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she deliberately hit Jiang Changsheng on the shoulder.
"Chang Sheng, you are so brave, you dare to talk nonsense to Chun Mei!"
Jiang Chunmei is a well-known shrewd girl in the village and is Meng Jia's only good friend. She has a poor image and hates marrying.
A 24-year-old unmarried woman was considered an older woman in rural areas in the 1990s.
Jiang Changsheng was deliberately naughty, and when he saw Jiang Chunmei stretching out her hand to pinch him, he stepped away decisively.
"I'm going to my room to do my winter vacation homework. You guys talk first."
After saying that, he rushed to the bedroom, sat at the small table by the window, took out a stack of letter paper and a pen, and prepared to start writing.
Jiang Changsheng has already thought of what he wants to write, a love novel.
Starting from writing love novels, this is the result of Jiang Changsheng's careful consideration.
First of all, martial arts novels were excluded.
In 1998, martial arts novels were in decline, and the first edition of a classic such as "Heroes" sold less than 10,000 copies.
Three years later, the martial arts version of Jingu Legend will be released, which will be the last afterglow of martial arts novels. Excellent works such as "Snow Cup" and "Kunlun" have appeared, which can be regarded as the last classics of martial arts novels.
Limited by subject matter, the market for martial arts novels will eventually be eroded by novels with greater imagination, such as fantasy and fairy tales.
Jiang Changsheng also ruled out writing online novels. On the one hand, due to the limitations of the times, online novels are too advanced and may not be popular if written. On the other hand, online novels are too long. Jiang Changsheng does not have a computer or keyboard now, so he can only write by hand with a pen.
, writing a novel that is too long is torturing yourself.
Jiang Changsheng plans to write a love novel of about 200,000 words. He will test the waters first. If it can be published, his reputation will increase, and he will be eligible for higher royalties, then he will plagiarize the classic IP.
And romance novels are relatively easy to write.
Especially now that Qiong Yao's drama adaptations are in vogue, excluding the previous dramas such as "Three Plum Blossom Lanes", in the first half of 1998, the "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" series will start to dominate the screen for nearly ten years, and then the "Love Deeply" will be broadcast
"Rainy Mengmeng" is also the drama king in terms of ratings.
Everyone is relatively receptive to love and love, and their outlook on life follows love.
Qiong Yao herself is a mistress. In her novel, she can give up everything for love. "You just lost a leg, but she lost her love." Not many people criticized this kind of text.
Anyway, as long as it's in the name of love, cheating, killing the whole family, or losing one's life, everything is fine.
But the current audience and readers just accept this.
Not only novels and film and television works, but also popular songs that have become popular in recent years, such as "The Heart Is Too Soft", "Love You for Ten Thousand Years", etc., also take deep affection to the extreme.
Jiang Changsheng is now writing love novels, which is in line with the development trend of the times. He has already thought about the content of the novel and can write it as soon as he picks up the pen.
