Chapter 751: A Selling Point in the Eyes of a Reader
The next day.
Some readers who are used to looking for books on the new book list are suddenly surprised to notice that the title of the work at the top of the new book list has changed.
It turned into a book with a strange title, "This Dad Is Unusual".
For example, Huang Fei.
When he noticed that the first place on Qidian's new book list was this title, he was surprised, frowned, and said to himself in confusion: "No way? Can Dad's articles be so good? The wind direction of Qidian.
Has it become like this?”
He was dissatisfied with this, because he didn't like reading novels on this subject, and always felt that this subject matter was not suitable for him.
Because he doesn’t even have a girlfriend, let alone a wife or children, and he hasn’t even been in love yet!
He feels that the identity of a nanny is still far away from him, so why should he read this kind of article?
How can you develop your career and pursue love when you are a procrastinator?
Because he doesn't like works on this subject, he hopes that Qidian will never become popular with this subject. Only if this subject does not become popular, the possibility of the authors he likes writing on this subject will be even smaller.
If this book was not ranked first on the new book list today, or even if it was ranked second, he might not click on it and take a look.
But because this book is currently ranked at the top of Qidian's new book list, he felt disgusted and subconsciously clicked on the page of this book.
He knew that the works at the top of the new book list could often lead the trend of the entire starting point, and even the trend of the entire online literary circle. He wanted to see if the data for this book had been refreshed.
If it was fraudulent, he wouldn't mind reporting it.
If he dared to top the new book list with a subject he didn't like, he would not be able to swallow it if he didn't report it.
but……
When he saw that the pen name of the author of this book was - Xianyu An Laosun.
He was stunned.
He is an atypical bookworm. His atypicality is mainly reflected in the fact that he does not like to read the works of great masters. He always feels that the quality of the works of great masters is stable enough, but they always lack new ideas. Every time he opens a new book, he likes it.
It’s like putting old wine in new bottles.
On the surface, at first glance, it is a novel theme.
But if you click in and take a look, you will find that the plot and characters are still the same.
In contrast, he prefers to read the works of middle-level writers who are not that famous but are still popular.
The works of these authors often surprise him.
To put it simply: he has never read the works of Xianyu Anlaosun.
Although he had heard of this great god's name a long time ago, his habit of not reading his works made him realize that the greatest significance of this great god, Xianyu Anlaosun, was to take a detour.
He has never read Xianyu Anlaosun’s works.
But he has become very familiar with the name of this great god in the past few years.
After all, in the past few years, he has been looking for books to read at Qidian. He often sees the works of Xianyu An Laosun on the Qidian monthly ticket list. From time to time, he can also see this guy's works dominating the entire monthly ticket list!
Therefore, when he saw that the author of this nanny article was Xianyu Anlaosun, he knew that the data in this book should be true, and the possibility of fraud was extremely low.
Especially when he saw that the number of people who had tipped this book today was nearly a hundred, and that there were already more than 4,000 reviews in the book review area, he completely ruled out the suspicion of data manipulation for this book.
His habit of never reading the works of great masters made him want to leave.
But when he was about to close the page, he finally hesitated.
He has heard of this great master, Xianyu Anlao Sun, many times over the years, and has also seen the highlight moments of this guy's works many times.
Moreover, he occasionally heard people say in several fan groups of other authors that Xianyu An Laosun's works were wonderful and each one had something new.
so……
After a moment of hesitation, he clicked on the table of contents page of the book, then opened the first chapter and tried to read the book with a critical eye.
After all, he was still a little curious about the strength of this platinum god who was famous in the entire Internet literary circle.
Compared with the other platinum masters at the starting point, are they stronger? Or weaker?
Probably on the same level as some great gods.
It’s not that he doesn’t like reading the works of great masters by nature. Before he developed this habit, he actually read a lot of works by great masters.
For example, works by great gods such as San Shao, Shen Ji, Red Blood, Sky Cloud, etc.
The reason why he developed the habit of no longer reading the works of great masters is because he gradually found that their works were less and less innovative.
Today is his first time trying to read the works of Xianyu An Laosun.
After only reading a few hundred words, he realized that this master's writing style was... really good.
Although there is nothing surprising about his writing, the writing is really smooth, and there is a feeling of freedom between the lines.
He felt very comfortable and not tired.
Then when he finished reading the first chapter, he felt very comfortable and depressed.
He felt very comfortable with the smooth writing of this chapter.
And causing depression...
It was because the male protagonist of this book had such a miserable start, which made Huang Fei, who had never been in love, feel a little frightened after reading it.
Because no one can guarantee that one day when Huang Fei gets married, his wife will not take away the money and run away, leaving him with a broken home that he cannot let go of.
Just like the male protagonist in this book, who can he let go of?
An old father who is already gray-haired and senile? Or a child who is waiting for food and cannot even turn over?
Xianyu Anlaosun's smooth writing style made it easy for Huang Fei to assume the role of the male protagonist when reading this chapter.
This sense of immersion is great, but also because of this great sense of immersion, he feels the same as the male protagonist.
Obviously his wife ran away with the money, and he was obviously very sad, but he was not qualified to live a decadent and passive life. In order to fulfill his filial piety and raise his children, he still had to hold on, even though he didn't want to do anything anymore, he still had to work hard.
In life, you have to work hard to make money, serve your old father, and raise your own children.
This kind of empathy made Huang Fei, who had never been in love before, a little afraid of marriage and love.
I also realized for the first time that love can be willful, but marriage cannot.
Because once a marriage fails, it would be okay if there were no children. If you still have a baby for yourself, then the current situation of the male protagonist in this book will be his future.
After reading the first chapter, he didn't want to continue reading.
He doesn't want to be abused.
Reading online articles, he just wants to have fun, even if the level of pleasure is not high, at least he wants to have fun, right?
What the hell is this book?
Are you so abusive at the beginning? Can we still have fun together?
With such a sad plot, how many people do you expect to pay to subscribe to this book when it is released?
Huang Fei felt that the book Xianyu Anlaosun had some new ideas, but the results after it was put on the shelves might make this platinum master, who has been enjoying great success in recent years, suffer a setback.
He wanted to quit the book, but for some reason, his right hand holding the mouse clicked on the next chapter and couldn't help but continue reading.
For a moment, he himself couldn't figure out why?
Is it because of the fluent writing style of this book?
Or is it because I am curious about how such a miserable male protagonist can change such a bad life? Or is it because I am curious about the selling point of this book since I dare to write such a book?
Chapter after chapter.
Unconsciously, Huang Fei read all the chapters of this book that have been published so far.
After reading it, he still stared at the webpage with a frown on his face, his expression a little strange.
Thoughtful.
He found several bright spots in the current chapters.
For example, although the male protagonist in this book is in a miserable situation, his character is admired by him. He is not a coward or complaining about others. Although the male protagonist is in a very depressed mood and has no smile on his face, he is still a man.
The fact that his wife took the money and ran away did not knock him down.
He silently did everything he had to do to fulfill his filial piety to his old father, such as cooking, washing, and helping his old father empty and wash the urinals every day.
For example, when taking care of a child, although he was in a hurry because of his inexperience, he never lost his temper. Even when he was awakened by the child's cry at two or three in the morning, he still tried to get up, worriedly coaxing the child, and checking whether the child was hungry.
Is it okay? The diaper is still thick and uncomfortable.
besides……
Even though he can't sleep well every night, even though there are a lot of trivial things at home every day, the hero still wants to make money.
Because he had to take care of his old father and children, he quit his job in the county. After returning home, he sharpened the knives his father Huang Yongzhi used to use to kill pigs one by one in the night.
The male protagonist Huang Shan chose to inherit his father's legacy. After studying in college, he decided to... kill pigs from now on.
I made this choice just so that I could freely control my time in the future and be able to go home and take care of my family at any time.
In this book, only in the plots of these chapters, Huang Fei saw some laughter, and also saw several places that resonated and moved him.
Logically speaking, with such a heavy start, it would be difficult to write a funny story.
But Huang Fei unexpectedly discovered that almost every chapter has one or two funny points.
For example, when the child cried, Huangshan quickly picked up the child and comforted him. Because it was summer, he was shirtless, and the child he held in his arms, probably because of the habit he had developed with his mother, actually opened his mouth and bit it.
The hero Huang Shan's chest is a little red.
For example, Huangshan, who was learning to cook, struggled to light the firewood in the fire pit. When he raised his head, his face was covered with plant ash.
And there were even more things that moved Huang Fei.
For example: Huangshan is clumsy, but he does his best to take care of his children, his father.
For example: in the third chapter, after Huang Shan put his child to sleep at night, he walked to the yard alone in the middle of the night to sharpen his knife. His father Huang Yongzhi hobbled over on crutches, and there was a low-pitched conversation between the father and son.
During the conversation, Huang Shan kept his head down while sharpening his knife and did not stop what he was doing.
Huang Yongzhi sat on the steps in front of the door, sighed, and apologized to his son for the first time in his life.
"Da Shan, now it seems that Dad has harmed you! Before, I only thought that I wouldn't live for a few more years, and I just thought about arranging all your affairs before I closed my eyes. I wanted to see you get married and have children...
...Sigh! If I had known it would be like this, even if you beat me to death, dad wouldn’t force you to marry her! Dashan, dad is sorry for you! It’s all my fault!”
When his father said these words, the male protagonist Huang Shan kept working on his hands and kept lowering his head to sharpen his knife. After listening to it, he also took a long time to speak in a low voice, "Dad, now there are still some things to say.
What's the use? You can't turn back time. There is no regret medicine in the world. No matter what happens, life will continue to pass, Dad! You can go back to sleep! I'm fine."
Huang Yongzhi did not leave. He looked at the knife that his son was sharpening. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Da Shan, what are you sharpening the knife for? I use these for killing pigs and cutting vegetables... There are kitchen knives in the kitchen!"
Huang Shan still didn't raise his head, "I plan to kill pigs and sell meat like you in the future. These knives are a bit rusty."
"Killing pigs? Can you kill pigs? You went to college, can you kill pigs with enough energy? Can you kill a pig by yourself? You can't! Dashan, pig killing is not for you, dad won't let you do it!"
Huang Yongzhi was stunned and immediately expressed his objection.
But Huangshan was unmoved, still lowering his head to sharpen his knife, and his voice was still low, "Dad, if I go to work as before, who will take care of you? Who will take care of the baby?"
Two rhetorical questions silenced Huang Yongzhi.
After being speechless for a long time, he sighed helplessly: "But you can't do it! Killing a pig is not as easy as you think, you are not strong enough..."
Huangshan's answer was: "You have to do it even if you don't, dad! Go to sleep! Don't worry about me anymore and let me make my own decisions, okay? I'm a dad too."
This answer made Huang Yongzhi silent for a long time.
He looked at his fair-skinned son with complex eyes and lowered his head to sharpen the knife. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Da Shan, you are not the one who sharpens the knife. If you sharpen it like this, even if it is sharpened until dawn, the knife will not be sharpened fast. Since you really want to do this,
, let me teach you how to sharpen a knife..."
…
It was this kind of dialogue between father and son that moved Huang Fei deeply.
He thought of his father back home. His father also had a strong personality and liked to arrange everything for him. He had always been at odds with his father in the past and was very rebellious.
I always want to escape from my father's control.
But he always knew in his heart that his father actually loved him. His father wanted to arrange everything for him, but he was afraid that he would make mistakes and not have a good future.
In the body of Huang Yongzhi, the father of the male protagonist in this book, Huang Fei seemed to see his own father.
The male protagonist Huang Shan's responsible attitude towards life also resonated with him.
He imagined that if he had such a day in the future, he would probably make the same choice as Huangshan.
Men! No matter how difficult life is, you have to grit your teeth and push through.
Therefore, when he saw the hero Huang Shan killing a pig in Chapter 5, sweating profusely and being kicked to the ground by the pig, Huang Fei laughed but was also deeply moved.
move.
Because after Huangshan was kicked over by a pig, he did not give up. He got up, took a long butcher knife, rushed up again, and stabbed the pig's neck fiercely...
He likes Huangshan, the male protagonist, for his perseverance and attitude towards life in facing difficulties. Because he likes this male protagonist, even though the current tone of this book is heavy, he is still looking forward to the subsequent plot of this book.
He wanted to see Huangshan change the current situation of his family little by little through his own hard work, take good care of his old father, and raise his children well. He even looked forward to the day when a very good and beautiful woman with a discerning eye would fall in love with this woman.
