"Ruirui? Are you Ruirui?" Second Uncle said in surprise.
"Yes." Xu Rui nodded.
"Yes, good, very good." Second Uncle nodded and praised him. He did not know what he meant by "good".
Xu Yi walked over and stood beside Xu Momo. He smiled and said,""Second Uncle, when did you come back?”
"Yesterday." Second Uncle said.
"Oh, that must be very hard. Are you used to jet lag?"
"It's fine, it's fine." Second Uncle chuckled. I've taken a few days off. I'll be in City A these few days to bring my daughter to have fun.”
He looked at the two brothers again and smiled." I still remember the two of you sleeping under the same blanket when you were young. Look at you, you've grown so big in the blink of an eye.”
- Open crotch pants? A blanket?
Xu Momo suddenly felt that there was a lot of information and could not help but curl the corners of her mouth.
"I don't remember." Xu Yi smiled." I remember when I was young, I liked to pester Second Uncle and ask him to buy me candied haws to eat.”
"You even remember this!" Second Uncle said in surprise.
Xu Yi replied,"Of course I remember. Second Uncle loved us the most when we were young."?”
His words immediately made Second Uncle smile. This kid really knew how to please his elders.
Second Uncle looked at Xu Momo and said,"Ruirui, you haven't introduced yourself. This is…"?
"Girlfriend." Xu Rui answered simply.
Second Uncle warmly praised Xu Momo for being elegant and beautiful, like a movie star, which made Xu Momo a little embarrassed.
"Where's Yiyi?" Second Uncle asked,"Why didn't you bring your girlfriend?”
"I don't have a girlfriend," Xu Yi replied.
"Really?"
"I really don't." Xu Yi replied helplessly.
Xu Momo suddenly remembered that Xu Yi had quarreled with An Ya in the cold drink shop. It seemed that they had really broken up.
"By the way, don't you plan to study abroad?”Second Uncle asked again," I think you're quite suitable to study in a foreign university.”
"I'm planning to study for postgraduate in China.”Xu Yi replied.
"How can the value of graduate students in China compare to those overseas?”Second Uncle sighed." Studying as a graduate student in China is simply a waste of talent for you. Come, let me tell you…"
The two of them talked about studying abroad as they walked away, leaving only Xu Momo and the other two standing in the same place.
At this moment, the other relatives of the Xu family gathered.
Xu Momo and Xu Rui were immediately surrounded by seven or eight curious relatives, most of whom were women.
They were all talking about Xu Rui.
"Ruirui has changed." A middle-aged woman in a cheongsam laughed.
"Yeah, the young man is getting more and more handsome.”Another young woman in her thirties smiled and said," Your girlfriend is so beautiful.”
"Thank you." Xu Momo said embarrassedly.
Soon, Xu Momo finally figured out who they were.
"I heard from Aixin that you're writing a book?" An older woman in a red Tang suit with white hair asked," Has it been published?”
This old lady was Aunt Chen's mother.
"It's published." Xu Rui replied in a proper manner.
His words immediately made the relatives excited.
"Wow! So powerful!"
"You can even publish a book! A great writer!"
"How many words have you written?"
"More than four million words," Xu Rui replied.”
The relatives sighed.
"Four million words! It was really a lot! How many tens of thousands of words were there in the Four Great Classics?”
"That's amazing. My son has to squeeze to write an 800-word essay.”
"By the way, when are you going to tutor my son in writing?”The woman who had praised Momo's beauty smiled. Xu Momo had just found out that she was actually Doctor Xu's cousin, Xu Rui's aunt.
"My son is going to take his middle school exams soon, but Chinese has always been his weakness." What books do you think he should read?"
Xu Rui was silent for a few seconds.
Xu Momo already knew Xu Rui very well. She knew that he must be seriously thinking about this problem.
"Read more of the essays of famous people." he answered.
"Really? I bought him a lot of perfect essays, but he didn't like them at all.”
"Don't look at that, it's useless." You can't improve your writing."
The other party immediately nodded, looking like he had been taught a lesson.
"By the way, what's the name of the book you wrote?”she asked again.
"Nightfall." Xu Rui replied.
The other party was immediately stunned. That Ye Mu who has been very popular recently?"
Xu Momo hadn't expected her to know about Ye Mu.
Xu Rui nodded silently.
" Oh my god," she said in surprise, covering her mouth." My son loves your books! He couldn't get into any other novels, so he had only finished reading your book from beginning to end.”
"Nightfall?" the others asked curiously. What was it about? What book?"
"It's one of the best-selling novels in the country recently.”She answered first," You'll know when you go to the bookstore. It's usually placed in the most conspicuous position.”
"I didn't expect Ruirui to be so famous!" she said with a smile.”
"It's alright." Xu Rui coughed lightly and said humbly.
The others were also surprised.
They were probably just being polite when they called him a great writer. They probably thought that Xu Rui was just a writer who wrote third-rate novels and published a few books but was not famous. This was also human nature. Who would have thought that one of their relatives would actually have a super popular author?
Soon, their conversation attracted more people.
Even the main character of the banquet, Dr. Xu, came over. Previously, he had been chatting with an old classmate whom he had not seen for several years.
"Brother, your son is so promising! Our Little Luo really can't compare." Aunt said with a smile.
"Ruirui?" Doctor Xu was slightly surprised.”
"Of course it's your Ruirui. Who else could it be?”His aunt said," He's currently ranked seventh on the author's rich list.”
"He's currently in sixth place." Xu Rui corrected him lightly.
"Yes, sixth place!" Aunt said with a smile.
"What rich list?" Doctor Xu was puzzled.”
"Old Han, don't you know?"”
Doctor Xu shook his head." I've never heard of this ranking.”
Her aunt immediately took out her phone and searched for the list of rich authors. Then, she showed it to Doctor Xu."Look, this Lux is your son.”
Doctor Xu stared at the phone for a long time.
He raised his head and looked at Xu Rui in disbelief."You earned so much money by writing novels?”
Xu Rui nodded.
"Old Han, this is your fault." You don't care about your son's career.”
Dr. Shaw was speechless. He cleared his throat in embarrassment and said,"I thought he was just casually writing on the Internet to earn some living expenses.”
"What living expenses!" His aunt mocked him," Your son is tall, rich, and handsome now! Rich people! It's more than what you'll earn in the hospital for a lifetime!”
"Are there really that many?" One of Xu Rui's aunts asked.
"That's right. Let me show you." Her aunt showed them the webpage on her phone.
Everyone sighed with emotion once again, praising Xu Rui for being so promising. He was definitely the pride of their Old Xu family.
Although it sounded tacky, sometimes, for some industries, ordinary people could only judge a person's achievements by their income.
"Ruirui is really amazing." Auntie Chen's mother smiled and said," It's very difficult to earn so much money by writing now. It's not easy to be a writer. I once wrote a short story for a magazine, and I only earned a dozen yuan per story.”
"When was that? It must have been decades ago.”Her aunt smiled." Besides, online literature is getting more and more developed. Many online writers are on the list of rich authors.”
"Since it's so powerful, I should give it a try.”Aunt Chen's mother joked.
Doctor Xu did not say anything. He was probably still immersed in the shock of his son earning millions from writing.
At this moment, Auntie Chen suddenly walked over. She was wearing a low-key crimson cheongsam today. She looked elegant and different from usual.
"I just saw Ruirui come.”Auntie Chen smiled and said," Sit down. The dishes will be served soon."”
Xu Rui unexpectedly revealed an almost invisible smile."Hello, Auntie Chen."
"Alright, alright." Auntie Chen seemed especially happy. She looked at Momo." Momo is here too? I heard about you two. I could tell that the two of you were a perfect match.”
The smile on Xu Rui's face became even more obvious." Yes, thank you.”
During the meal, Xu Momo was arranged to sit at the main table, next to Xu Rui.
The person sitting on her other side was Xu Yi.
At the dining table, Xu Yi skillfully toasted and poured wine for his relatives, looking like a socialite. As for Xu Rui, he was still the same as before. He only cared about eating slowly and did not participate in it. The others probably knew Xu Rui's character, so they didn't force him.
Because they were not familiar with each other, almost no one chatted with Xu Momo. At most, they would ask her about the recent situation at home, the health of her parents, and so on.
Xu Momo was happy to enjoy the delicacies alone.
Every dish on the dining table was especially delicious. If she was not careful, she would feel a little bloated.
After the meal, the banquet did not show any signs of ending. Everyone was still drinking and chatting. Dr. Xu and Auntie Chen had toasted their relatives three times. Their faces were flushed and they looked drunk.
Soon, Doctor Xu stood up again with his wine glass in his hand. He probably wanted to say a few more words. The others immediately put down their chopsticks and waited for him to speak.
"I'm especially happy today." Dr. Xu said with a bright face," The first thing I want to do is to see everyone gathered here to attend my wedding with Aixin.”He finished his glass and poured himself another glass." The second thing is about my son, Ruirui.”
Xu Rui immediately raised his head and looked at him.
Probably due to the alcohol, Doctor Xu seemed to be more talkative than usual, and his tone was not as reserved.
" I admit, ever since…" He paused." Ever since Cai Cai passed away, I really didn't care enough about Ruirui.”He suddenly choked up." To be honest, I'm not a good father.”
Caicai? Was he referring to Xu Rui's mother?
Xu Momo rarely saw a man of Doctor Xu's age use a nickname to call his wife, especially since Doctor Xu was such a low-key and reserved person.
It could be seen that Dr. Shaw and his deceased wife were indeed very loving in the past.
"Don't talk about these sad things on a joyous day.”Someone reminded her, probably afraid that Auntie Chen would feel uncomfortable.
But Auntie Chen said,"I've already advised Old Han." He should be more concerned about his two sons. Father and son should communicate more so that there would be no generation gap.”As she spoke, she sighed and patted her son, Chen Jing, on the head." My son has never had a father since he was young. This is a pity.”
Chen Jing pretended to be dissatisfied." Regret my ass. My mother is more brutal than most people's fathers. She twists my ears every day."”
His words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.
