Chapter 1624: Uncle Gu’s Thoughts
Editor: Henyee Translations
Uncle Gu was interested in storytelling. Last year, before Gu Yundong went to the capital, she asked him to try telling stories to everyone in the village.
She did not expect that he would become so bold after this attempt.
After telling stories a few times in the village, he went to the county’s Jinxiu Restaurant and recommended himself to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper did not know about his relationship with Gu Yundong. At first, he did not want him. After all, he was running a restaurant, not a teahouse. He did not need a storyteller.
After that, for some reason, the shopkeeper agreed to let him try.
Unexpectedly, business was surprisingly good that day. Gu Xiaoxi looked energetic and was completely different from the old storytellers in the teahouses. Standing there, he could not help but attract attention.
Coupled with the fact that the content of the story was very fresh and did not seem to be as old-fashioned as those in the teahouse, and the cadence of his tone when he spoke, it quickly attracted a group of customers.
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t tell stories every day. According to him, he was there to observe and accumulate experience.
Gu Yundong was curious as to what he was observing. Then, she saw him take out a notebook and pass it to her. He smiled mysteriously.
Gu Yundong looked at him suspiciously, then opened the notebook. The next moment, her eyes widened in surprise.
"You, you wrote it??"
Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "How is it? Isn’t it pretty good? I’ve written out everything in my mind. You were the one who reminded me. You said that I had to observe the small matters around you. Stories originate from life and are higher than life. You can magnify the small matters and write them into stories. Then, you can use them to tell stories. That way, you can be more novel than other storytellers."
Hence, he planned to write a script first. However, he got stuck and couldn’t write anymore.
He thought of a way. He would first go to the restaurant and say it. He would see which part of the story others would react to and cheer loudly. He would know what kind of plot others would find interesting and exciting.
Then he came back and continued writing.
Most of the time, he was actually not writing a story, but writing a storybook.
Seeing him like this, Chang Yaya jokingly said that he might as well write a storybook. Yundong liked to read storybooks.
Gu Xiaoxi thought that it made sense, so he went to the bookstore to ask. He found out that those popular storybooks could also earn a lot of money.
He was tempted, so he buried his head in writing. He had already written a book.
Gu Yundong really did not expect his interest to be so ever-changing. Writing books? It was quite interesting.
She lowered her head and started reading Gu Xiaoxi’s story.
How should it be put?
"The words are a little weak, the sentences are not smooth, the idioms are very poor, and there are many typos... However, the plot is very exciting."
Gu Xiaoxi’s face was originally a little green because of her previous words, but her last sentence instantly healed him.
"Actually, that’s what Big Brother said too. I had no choice, right? I didn’t read much before, so I can’t read much. However, I’m already working very hard to learn now. I’ll definitely write better in the future. This is still a draft. I’ll quickly memorize it while I have thoughts in my mind. Otherwise, I’ll forget."
Gu Yundong nodded in agreement. She returned the book to Gu Xiaoxi. "Uncle, continue to work hard."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded vigorously. Finding something he loved and moving in this direction was a wonderful thing.
He put away the book and was about to say something when Madam Yang rushed over and grabbed Gu Yundong before running away.
