In July, the school was on holiday, and Yu Dong did not go home. Instead, he stayed in school and finished the finishing work on the new book.
Yu Dong made a rough calculation and found that the length of the new book is about 400,000 words, but this is only the first one. The story actually only tells about multinational companies taking control of Southeast Asia, and the protagonist Lin Anguo gets the information passed on by biologists.
In the follow-up, a series of struggles between multinational companies and the besieged city have not yet been written.
When all the stories are finished, I estimate that there will still be at least this many words.
Liu Changmin and the others went home one after another, and eventually, there were only a few people left in the dormitory area.
Bi Feiyu was one of them. He told Yu Dong that he would stay in school for a month and then go home.
Yu Dong gets up at 7:30 every morning, and in addition to three meals a day, he basically writes until 9 o'clock in the evening. Occasionally when he gets tired from writing, he will take a walk in the yard of the staff dormitory.
There are many vegetables planted in the vegetable garden in the yard, but most of the teachers have gone home, so they lack the care of their owners. When Yu Dong is in a good mood, he will water them.
Whenever this happens, Bi Feiyu, who lives on the second floor, will come out of the house and stand on the balcony to look at him.
"You water them every day to keep them fat and strong, but in the end you don't eat them." Bi Feiyu sometimes jokes about Yu Dong.
Yu Dong only said: "I am just raising flowers. I live on the first floor and I can see the vegetable garden when I look up. If it is messy, I will be in a bad mood."
Bi Feiyu's life rhythm is completely different from Yu Dong's. He doesn't get up until ninety o'clock every day, and then he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't start writing until almost noon.
He bought a lot of dry food and usually didn't go out to eat. Yu Dong came to see him a few times and asked him to go to dinner with him. He just said that he had dry food.
After writing until about four or five o'clock, Bi Feiyu went out to exercise.
Bi Feiyu loves to play football. When the students are around, he often goes to play football. Now that there is no one in the school, he can't kick the ball, so he can only go out for a run and do other exercises.
He and Yu Dong both have healthy bodies, but Yu Dong's body relies on eating and resting, while his body relies on exercise.
Bi Feiyu can also be very irritable sometimes.
In summer, there are many toads crawling and hiding in the yard. At night, their cries are particularly loud, and the surrounding walls have amplification effects, making the sound endless.
At this time, Bi Feiyu would come out and curse: If I ask you, I will peel off your skin and make porridge.
Yu Dong would also reply to him: Remember to share some with me after cooking.
In mid-July, Yu Dong left school and got on the train to Rongcheng with Hu Changqing.
Hu Changqing is a native of Jinling. He went home as soon as the holidays were over. He went to school several times, always looking for Yu Dong to talk to him about the award ceremony.
He was both nervous and excited about the award ceremony. Until he got on the train, he was still asking Yu Dong: "Xiao Yu, what award do you think "Alien Monkey" will win?"
He had asked this question many times. Yu Dong smiled and did not answer because he knew that Hu Changqing just wanted to ask and did not necessarily answer.
When the two of them left the station, they saw a young man holding a sign from a distance with the words "Science Fiction World Welcome" written on it.
"You Yu, is that the person who picked us up?" Hu Changqing asked.
Yu Dong nodded. He had already recognized that the person who picked them up was Xiao Li whom he met at the magazine.
After approaching, Xiao Li said with a smile on his face: "Teacher Yu, President Yang asked me to pick you up."
"Thank you." Yu Dong introduced him again: "This is Mr. Fushui's friend, Mr. Hu."
"Teacher Hu, hello, hello, the club has arranged your accommodation for you two, I will send you there now."
Then Xiao Li took the two of them to the roadside opposite the train station and asked them to get into a car.
This car is obviously new. It seems that the economic situation of "Science Fiction World" has indeed improved a lot during this period, and they even bought a car.
Just a few years ago, Yang Xiao was riding around on three wheels to promote "Science Fiction World". In a blink of an eye, the conditions have improved so much.
On the way to the hotel, Yu Dong learned from Xiao Li that the two of them arrived relatively late. Most of the other writers and guests had already arrived. Only the foreign guests had not arrived yet, but they were said to be arriving in the evening.
The car drove directly to Jinjiang Hotel, and after arranging accommodation for Yu Dong and others, Xiao Li returned to the company to resume his duties.
Yu Dong and the others had just rested in the room for a while when there was a knock on the door.
"I'll open the door." Hu Changqing stood up and walked over.
The person who knocked on the door was a young man of medium height. As soon as the door opened, he looked at Hu Changqing and was stunned for a while, "Isn't this Teacher Yu Dong's room?"
Hu Changqing smiled, "It's Yu Dong's room, but it's also my room."
After saying that, Hu Changqing turned to Dong and said, "You Yu, someone is looking for you."
Yu Dong walked over with doubts. As soon as the young man saw Yu Dong, he ran over excitedly and held Yu Dong's hand, "Teacher Yu Dong, I finally see you."
This young man looks to be about twenty years old, with a short chin, thick and long eyebrows, wearing a pair of glasses, and looks like a student.
"Who are you?" Yu Dong looked at the other person's face and couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Teacher Yu, I forgot to introduce myself. I am He Hongwei, and I was also invited by "Science Fiction World" this time." He Hongwei said quickly.
Upon hearing the words He Hongwei, Yu Dong's eyes narrowed. This was no small person.
Later, the theory of the Four Heavenly Kings of "He Ci Kangsong" emerged in the domestic science fiction circle, and the "He" in this refers to He Hongwei.
He Hongwei and Han Song debuted relatively early among the four. Needless to say, Han Song is now well-known in the domestic science fiction circle. He Hongwei has been publishing works in "Science Fiction World" since last year.
Last year's "Crazy Night" received a good response, and this year "Light Love" was released.
The fact that he appears here now means that one of these two novels should have won the award.
In Yu Dong's memory, "Light Love" did indeed win the Galaxy Award.
"Oh, I know you, and I have also watched your "One Night of Crazy" and "Light Love", both of which are very good." Yu Dong said with a smile.
"Teacher Yu, you have read my works. I am really honored. I particularly like your works. I like every one of them. Knowing that you live in this room, I have come and knocked on the door many times. This time I finally saw it.
is you."
Hu Changqing on the side saw He Hongwei's excited look and couldn't help but sigh, Yu Yu is really famous in the science fiction world now.
