Chapter 336 Smoke curls from the kitchen

"We caught a lot of fish, Xiaoyu, why didn't you ask me to go with you when you went to the beach? I love the feeling of getting a lot of fish."

Gu Yu returned home carrying a bucket full of seafood, chatting and laughing with An Xin.

Jiang Dehua, who was washing clothes in the yard, came over and checked their haul.

"Today I didn't intend to take my cousin to experience it, nor did I intend to catch a lot, I just wanted to have fun.

Unexpectedly, my cousin brought good luck and caught a lot of king clams. Aunt, please add a dish tonight." Gu Yu said with a smile.

"No, it was Xiaoyu who knew how to catch it." An Yi answered in a low voice when she heard Gu Yu praising her.

"Okay, I'll make you a seafood stew." Jiang Dehua said with a smile, and then carried two buckets into the kitchen.

"It's a nice day today. Do you want to go to the rooftop to watch the smoke rising and the tides going in and out?"

Gu Yu invited her again, and An Yi naturally nodded happily in agreement.

When Jiang Yafei and Jiang Yaning came back from school at noon, they saw Gu Yu and An Yi standing on the roof, talking and laughing.

"Antai! Antai!"

Yafei was so angry that she stomped her feet again, not caring whether it would cause misunderstanding among her elders, and shouted at the roof.

"You called me?" Uncle Antai came out and Jiang Yafei was stunned.

"You kid, you have no respect for your elders!" An Tai said seriously with a frown.

"No, I'm not calling you. I'm calling your daughter by her nickname."

Jiang Yafei hurriedly explained, and seeing that her uncle was angry, she pulled Yaning and ran to the side and onto the roof.

Looking at her niece's flustered back, An Tai shook her head, just like her mother.

"Brother, what are you doing on the roof?" Yafei just climbed up the ladder and stood next to Gu Yu.

"Xiao Yu is taking me to see the ebb and flow of the tide and the curling smoke from cooking fires." An Yi replied softly.

Her eyes could not help but drift towards Gu Yu. She was fascinated by their interactions throughout the morning. This was an experience she had never had before.

It is romantic yet full of life, with literary discussions and trivial family exchanges.

An Yi's eyes were full of Gu Yu, and she didn't notice that after Yafei heard her words, she pouted and parroted her words in a low voice.

"The tide rises and falls, the smoke from cooking rises. Tsk, you stinky old man, you should be reformed."

Gu Yu rubbed Yafei's head gently with amusement, and signaled her with his eyes to stop talking nonsense.

"Is school over? Are you hungry?"

Seeing that Gu Yu was still close to her, Yafei felt much better instantly, and temporarily stopped being jealous of An Yi.

"Not bad." Yafei gave Gu Yu a bright smile in return.

"I didn't realize it before, but after hearing what cousin An Yi said, I really have some artistic experience."

Jiang Yaning looked at the distant and near scenery that came into view, which complemented each other and formed a beautiful and quiet picture, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Yafei glared at her sister. It was really useless to seek an alliance with her.

"Xiaoyu, it's time to eat, bring them down quickly."

Jiang Dehua stood in the yard, looked up and shouted at the roof, his voice was so loud that it seemed that the entire family quarters could hear it.

"We're here. Let's go down now." Gu Yu agreed.

They just had a simple meal at noon, and had the main meal in the evening after Jiang Defu got off work. He also asked Lao Ding to accompany him.

In the afternoon, Gu Yu gave the novel to An Jie to read.

"Mom, this is my first time writing a novel, and I'm a little unsure.

Please help me correct my mistakes. You are the most knowledgeable writer among our family members."

Gu Yu sat next to An Jie on the sofa, and the mother and son had a close relationship.

"You are such a sweet-talking kid, you just know how to give me sweet talk every day, and I will fall for it.

You have long been the most learned person in our family. We have read your novels before and they are very well written.

Li Yunlong, Wei Heshang, Zhao Gang, and Chu Yunfei are all portrayed very vividly.

Especially the protagonist Li Yunlong, who has a special charm in your writing. Your father really likes the character you created.

Tell me the truth, are you really based on your father? He's not here right now, so you don't have to flatter him."

Angel took Gu Yu's hand and patted it gently, looking pleased and proud, and started joking as he spoke.

Gu Yu had written this novel some time ago, and his family members had read it. Jiang Defu could empathize with the character of Li Yunlong.

"I can only say that there is some reference. Mom, you may not know that people of this generation actually have some of Li Yunlong's personality and behavior.

And later on when he married Tian Yu, I drew inspiration from your and my dad’s married life, but I couldn’t write about your happiness and sweetness.”

Gu Yu smiled, and a few words made the smile on An Jie's face even sweeter.

"Xiao Yu is writing a novel? Can you show it to your uncle?" An Tai, who was sitting aside, asked with great interest.

"Of course you can. You're his uncle, and the novel will be published soon!"

An Jie spoke for Gu Yu and handed the manuscript in her hand to her elder brother. She seemed to have felt that the publication of the novel was a foregone conclusion.

First, I have a strong belief in Gu Yu and this novel.

Second, the deputy editor-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army Press was Jiang Defu's old comrade-in-arms, and she asked Jiang Defu to contact him early in the morning.

"It's very well written. The battle description at the beginning is fascinating!"

An Tai praised at first, then gradually became more and more excited and became silent.

Gu Yu's novel is actually a bit different from the current mainstream writing style, and the characters he created are more realistic and vivid.

In this age with few entertainment activities, a good book can be very attractive.

"Xiao Yu, why did you choose a military theme for your first novel?

I read the poems you wrote before, they are very meaningful.

I thought you would create a novel that is closer to social reality or full of ambiguity. "

Seeing that his elder brother was immersed in the novel, An Jie smiled and shook his head, then pulled Gu Yu and his mother together to have a heart-to-heart talk.

She likes to chat with Gu Yu about some topics of literary creation. Gu Yu is the only one in the family who can chat with her.

"Mom, first of all, I don't have enough experience. Even if I try to use my talent for writing to write a realistic novel, it will only be superficial.

Second, the current mainstream and environment tell me that I should write this type of novel.”

Gu Yu and An Jie did not hide anything. In this world, Jiang Defu's family were his relatives and the people he trusted the most.

An Jie nodded and patted his adopted son's hand with satisfaction. Suddenly, he realized that Gu Yu had really grown up.

In addition to their intelligence and calm personality, which have always made them proud, they are now more mature in their interpersonal relationships.

"When your dad comes back tonight, I'll have him contact Lao Zheng. Let's use this novel to gain more popularity first!"

"Great minds think alike." Gu Yu and An Jie smiled at each other.

"Oh, Xiaoyu, the royalties from this novel are much higher, so you can't spend it recklessly like before. You have to save some money in a planned way.

Stop buying snacks and toys for your younger brothers and sisters, especially those two girls, you’re spoiling them too much…”

An Jie thought of something, his expression became a little serious, and he spoke to Gu Yu earnestly.
