Cao Ruixia looked at the private room and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that this restaurant looks ordinary from the outside, but there is something special inside. The private room is decorated quite high-end."

While pouring tea for them, Zhang Zhong said, "In a restaurant like this, all regular customers come with customers. It doesn't have to be too good outside. I brought this tea myself. Uncle and aunties, you guys can try it."

Xu Yuhan smiled and said, "Lin Lin is such a foodie. I didn't even know this place was so close to my home, but he knew it very well."

Then she introduced it to her parents, "This restaurant was introduced by his friend Lin Lin, who is the boss of Zero Zero One Culture Company."

Cao Ruixia said, "I don't know much about this cultural company. Do you know, Lao Xu?"

Xu Wenxuan nodded, "I have heard about Zero Zero One Culture Company. Wasn't "001" magazine formerly owned by this company?"

"Oh, why does it sound so familiar to me?" Cao Ruixia said suddenly.

Xu Wenxuan lowered his head and took a sip of water, and then said, "Zhang Zhong, congratulations on winning the Pu Songling Award."

He didn't know what to say, so he started talking about the Pu Songling Award.

"Thank you uncle, I'm actually quite surprised to win the award."

"Well, the Pu Songling Award jury was very decisive this time. They also took risks in awarding the award to you. If you only have works such as "Order" and "Border Town", there is nothing to say, even though you are still young.

, but the age barrier is sometimes not difficult to overcome. According to historical trends, it is also a trend for winners to become younger and younger, but you just broke this barrier in advance. The problem is that you are not only

There are these works, as well as works like "Dune". The big guys in the mainstream literary world sometimes have prejudices against popular novels, and they will transfer this prejudice to the authors. Those of yours have extremely high sales.

Works not only create a halo for you, but also become a burden on you." When it came to literary matters, Xu Wenxuan immediately relaxed and started talking.

Zhang nodded, "Indeed, I have heard some voices in the past two days, saying that the Pu Songling Award is suspected of being commercial and kitsch, and is a compromise to vulgar public aesthetics."

"Based on what I know about you, I'm afraid you don't care much about these criticisms."

"It's out of the question to care."

Cao Ruixia glanced at the two of them and said, "Lao Xu, you're not here to talk about work today. Why are you talking about this? Zhang Zhong, I heard that you studied computers before, but why didn't you do your job later?"

"You are saying that a writer must have a professional background?" Xu Wenxuan said.

"I'm just asking, why are you still in a hurry?" Cao Ruixia pouted.

Zhang Chong said with a smile, "It was also by chance. I had a car accident not long after I graduated. I was in the hospital for five years. When I came out of the hospital, I couldn't keep up with my professional knowledge. I just wrote things when I had nothing to do. Fortunately

Yes, some people liked what I wrote, so I continued."

"This is called losing something in the east and gaining something in the east. There is nothing more wonderful than this in life." Xu Wenxuan said.

"Well, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"I heard that you have a daughter, why didn't you bring the child here today?" Cao Ruixia is the mother after all, Xu Wenxuan would definitely not ask these straightforward questions, only she would ask them.

"She went to my uncle's house with my parents today. My mother and the others haven't been back for a long time. I took advantage of the festival to take my granddaughter back to see her." Zhang Zhong opened his mouth and lied.

"It's not easy for your parents. They have to help you take care of your children." Cao Ruixia said.

Zhang Zhong probably knew what she was going to ask, so he said, "My mother teaches in a middle school and usually has more time on weekends, so she can help. My father does some small business and is a little busier. Fortunately, Pengpeng is quite obedient and doesn't do anything.

It makes people worry, but as for me, my working hours are relatively free, so it can also make them worry less."

Cao Ruixia nodded secretly. Unlike Xu Wenxuan, this was her first contact with Zhang Zhong. After these conversations, Zhang Zhong made her feel very good. He spoke cleanly and did not drop his book bag. The most important thing is that he is very smart.

Whatever he asked, he knew what to answer.

From a mother's perspective, no matter how famous Zhang Zhong is in the literary world, it is all false. Her daughter will have to live with him in the future.

If two people want to live a good life, they don't care about those things. If Zhang Zhong is a person floating in the sky, no matter how talented he is, he will definitely have conflicts every day in the future.

Her old man, Xu, was a little arrogant when he was young. Fortunately, after years of adjustment and adjustment, he finally fell from the sky to the ground and became more down-to-earth.

Zhang Zhong is good and down to earth.

Xu Wenxuan thought differently. Regarding choosing a son-in-law, the first thing he looked at must be character, and the second was ability. As for whether he would float in the sky, he really didn't consider it so carefully.

"When you have time in the future, you can go and sit at home and take the kids with you. Although your Uncle Xu and I are in Jinling, we are not far apart and we can come back at any time."

Zhang Zhong nodded, "Okay."

Xu Yuhan sat next to him and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his mother was still very satisfied with Zhang Zhong.

Before coming here, she was most worried about her mother, but she wasn't too worried about her father.

After that, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Although Xu Wenxuan and the others came by car, their home was close, so they could just walk back, and they all drank some wine.

In China, when a father-in-law meets his son-in-law, a drink is inevitable. Even if one is the dean of the School of Philosophy of Jinling University and the other is a well-known writer in the literary world, when it comes to the wine table, drinking is no different from ordinary people.

However, Zhang Zhong, the father-in-law, had a moderate capacity for drinking. After drinking less than half a kilo, his tongue began to become knotted.

"Zhang...Zhong, do you know what Albert said? He said that all great actions and thoughts have a humble beginning. If it hadn't been for that car accident, maybe you should be in an office now.

Typing codes, living a completely different life, and we in China will also have one less... hiccup, one less talented writer. The youngest winner of the Pu Songling Award is still Zhuang Yu... hiccup, Nebula Award

There are still no Chinese winners..."

It is said that the quality of wine is like the character of a person. Cao Ruixia looked at her husband and sighed secretly. The future son-in-law's wine has not been tested, but you, the father-in-law, showed his true colors first. Fortunately, there are only three of them present today. If

It would be embarrassing if all the relatives and friends are here.

Zhang Zhong knew he couldn't drink anymore, so he chatted with Xu Wenxuan.
