"Mom Yang, it's so early, should I fry two taels of green onions and a bowl of porridge?"

Early in the morning, when Yang Yi's mother Yang Min came to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the alley, she saw an old neighbor who had been more than 20 years old. The shop owner greeted her warmly. She did not notice that the man was obviously much more attentive, so she just smiled and nodded and responded, and began to think about whether she should take her breakfast home or finish her meal in the store.

The long-term living conditions in the past have made Yang Min accustomed to cooking at home, including three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and nothing else. But this kind of life has changed unknowingly since her son graduated from junior high school. At first, she saw the royalties received by the boy at home, and heard that her son asked her to rest more in the morning. Even if she got up early, she should not face the busyness of the oil smoke in the kitchen, but instead had a meal outside. She naturally scolded her. She felt that

Although this boy turned into a young writer and brought endless surprises to himself, he was the character of a young man. How could life be so easy? If you have money, go outside for free. What should you do in the future? For example, the ancient saying "Making money is like picking soil with needles, and spending money is like rinsing sand with water." Yang Min has taught her son a lesson more than once, but the other party always looks hip and smiling, which makes her, a mother, helpless but has a hint of pride.

But in this situation, as her son's talent emerges, ability is outstanding, and what he does, it is an amazing move that he never dared to imagine in his dreams. Yang Min's mentality changed unknowingly. Before, he thought Yang Yi was a mess, but later he heard too much - the most important thing is that his family's financial strength can indeed enjoy life. She subconsciously recognized the boy's words: "Don't you just need to spend money when you make money? Mom, you can't even spend a little money. Do I know that I have no motivation to make money?"

What else is there, "Now, take advantage of the overall environment, so hurry up and enjoy it outside. In the future, those bad businessmen will ignore anything to make money. I see that you can't even eat authentic fried green onion bread." "Even if you have time in the morning, go out for a walk and exercise early, and go back and eat breakfast outside." "It's not that I said your mother, women should be kind to themselves. The smoke is everywhere every day. If you don't be a yellow-faced woman, who will be a yellow-faced woman? Be careful that if I have a beautiful wife in the future, I will not recognize an ugly mother."...

After being so angry that her son could make her feel angry, but in fact she was so concerned about her, she gradually accepted a more comfortable lifestyle. Now, let alone breakfast, even for dinner, she would go to some famous old shops to buy some cooked food after playing cards or scattering exercises in the afternoon. Then she could have a happy meal with only one list of side dishes or soup at home. And it was really just like her son said, she was less worried in the kitchen, and her whole complexion looked much more energetic. In short, "the family no longer had to worry about my supper."

So after such days, the owner of this miscellaneous shop at the entrance of the alley naturally became acquaintances with her.

However, after taking the packed breakfast handed over by the other party, Yang Min finally realized something was wrong with the other party. Although the boss always looked full of smiles, he had never been so attentive. Moreover, looking at his attitude, he seemed to have something to say but was a little embarrassed. Yang Min still had this kind of judging his expression.

As expected, after Yang Min stopped and looked at him without saying anything, his eyes filled with inexplicable inquiries, the boss finally chuckled and rubbed his two big palm slaps at her, nodding and bowing: "Sister Min, you see, we are all acquaintances. Your first-class young man, when he was still in school, had breakfast here for several years, right?"

"If you have something, just say it directly. Why are you still so polite?" Yang Min smiled and shook her head. She really didn't know what the boss was thinking. She thought to herself that everyone was indeed acquaintances for decades. If the other party really had something to ask for her, if it was not difficult, it would be fine to help others. If the neighbors around her were all very good people, they have become famous and successful in recent years. In the past few years, most of the old acquaintances did not spread any gossip about the rumors behind their backs. This alone is enough for her to feel satisfied.

Hearing that Yang Min was so happy, the breakfast shop owner grinned and then hesitated and said his meaning: "Look, Xiaoyi is such a great celebrity now. Even CCTV broadcasts his news. It is more famous than the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Those foreigners from Citigroup actually conduct marches and demonstrations for Xiaoyi's books. How many children can have this kind of scene do you think about it for a night. After all, Xiaoyi has had acquaintances with me. Seeing that he is so famous, I also want to gain some money and change the name of our store, and it is called 'Yang Yi Cong Fried Bun'. Uh, Sister Min, if you think it is not suitable, it is OK to call it 'Yang Yi also said delicious onion fried bread', I just advertise myself..."

"Wait, what kind of news about CCTV? Why do foreigners from Citigroup still conduct demonstrations for my son's books?" Yang Min was stunned for a moment, and had no intention of caring about the other party's request. How shocking it was.

Seeing Yang Min's reaction, the breakfast shop owner knew that the old neighbor shouldn't have seen the news last night, so he became excited immediately, thinking that he was the first to report the good news to the other party. If someone was overjoyed when he heard the news, he might immediately agree to his request. So he ignored the slap-off frying pan on the stove and directly closed the ignition stove and explained endlessly. He didn't know that, he thought that this person was showing off his children to outsiders.

"You mean Xiaoyi was on CCTV yesterday? This little thing didn't inform me in advance." Yang Min's leisurely and relaxed life over the past two years made her look much better than her peers. After learning the news, her face was even red and radiant, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Especially when she saw the boss opposite her, she looked envious and jealous, and she was even more drunk as if she had drunk nectar. However, due to the cautious mentality of the young citizens unique to her generation, Yang Min still asked again: "Are you sure it's my Xiaoyi? Did he show his face on TV?"

The boy's mother has decided that as long as the other party confirms the news, she will call the bastard immediately. She doesn't tell herself about such a big surprise in advance, is she still the mother in her eyes?

However, the boss immediately shook his head: "I didn't show my face on TV, and I can't blame your Xiaoyi. This news was originally a broadcast. It was said to be a report brought by the scene. However, the reporter said the name several times, which is Yang Yi. Do you think there are still a few Yang Yi in this world, a young writer mentioned on TV, and a Chinese from us? Besides, isn't there still a company name? Yang Yi Culture, that's right..."

The other party listed the examples one by one, which almost proved his description without doubt. After hearing the name Yang Yi Culture, Yang Min completely believed the other party's words, and the pride on his face was unconcealed, full of words: "Is it really my little thing? It was broadcast in the news on CCTV? Even if it was a temporary news, he himself didn't know..."

While saying that Yang Min had no choice but to care about the other party at all, she reached out and touched her pocket for a while. Then she remembered that the phone her son bought for him was still at home because it was inconvenient and was not on her body at this moment. So she immediately turned around and wanted to go back and call to prove the news.

The breakfast shop owner shouted loudly from behind: "Hey, Sister Min, look at what I just said..."

But at this time, Yang Min was not in the mood to care about these things, and waved her hands without looking back and said, "It's okay, you can do it yourself!" In fact, Yang Yi's mother obviously didn't know what she was agreeing to.

After receiving the affirmative reply, the man immediately looked envious and thought that his son would not talk about the ability of someone's children, but as long as he could reach one-tenth of Yang's height in the future, he would have no regrets in his life. However, this unrealistic idea was immediately thrown behind him, and his attention was shifted to serious matters. He couldn't help but think about where to go to recreate a sign.

...

Like the owner of this breakfast shop, there are more than one person who envy Yang Min. Because Yang Min is a housewife, it is natural that she is not interested in the news broadcast. She always turns on the TV on time at 7:25 pm every night. After watching the weather forecast, she goes to wait for the prime TV series, so she is not sure that there is such an incident in the news last night.

But this is not the case for others. In the Xizhi side, many elderly people lived in the early years, and in the sunrise and sunset. Later, after the environment improved, they decided not to go to bed too late. Instead, they watched the news broadcast, and it was almost done. Therefore, among the people who had direct relationship with Yang Yi, many people had seen the news last night.

Yang Yi's third uncle Yang Haiying asked his wife early in the morning: "Have you called Xiao Min? Why can't the phone at home be connected? Nothing will happen, right?"

"Don't be here, what can Xiao Min do? Now that she has a cell phone, she must have stopped the landline at home. She can't remember her mobile phone number, why are you anxious about me here?" The boy's uncle glared at the old man with anger, but despite scolding him, he was also a little worried. Then he gave his wife an idea: "Then you call Wei Hong or Wei Dong, they must remember Xiao Min's mobile phone number."

...

In fact, the news reports that were broadcast on TV last night certainly caused a sensation in China, but for the young man who could write excellent articles, enter the Citigroup market, and eventually made foreigners argue over his works, most viewers only knew the name - Yang Yi, which doesn't sound too ordinary, has some Chinese naming interests, but people who don't know boys cannot associate this name with a certain actual image.

Because the news broadcast has always been in the third-party perspective, we cannot directly interview the boy himself.

This is also a question that countless people are curious about.

But no matter what, the name Yang Yi was completely in the mouths of people of all walks of life in China. There is no doubt that it has begun a process of word-of-mouth transmission.

...

On the other side of Citigroup, at the Christmas book market, the protests of readers of the work "The Collapse of the Empire" caused even more discussions on the other side of the ocean than in China. Because the Pulitzer Prize was only more than four months, ordinary people who care about this award, even if they are interested in reading and love literature, have also paid a lot of attention to this incident.

Against this background, even the Pulitzer Prize jury committee, which has always been unwilling to care about public opinion, namely the School of Journalism and the School of Education of Columbia University, had to come forward and make a statement about the incident.

"We are not blind to excellent works. We are not addicted to our own small circle of games, so we cannot listen to any opinions that are beneficial to this award. However, sometimes tradition is worthy of respect and must be respected. If we ignore the past history just because of the excellent work, then I think the Pulitzer Prize will not have the glory of today... Of course, this is only the current view of some judges, as to whether to nominate the work "The Collapse of the Empire". In fact, our entire judges and the Pulitzer Prize fund management agency are still under intense discussions. Please try to keep a calm and objective attitude as much as possible. We will definitely give you a satisfactory reply..."

The official statement issued by Columbia University failed to satisfy the readers of Citigroup, but it made some Chinese media excited.

To use a not very elegant description on the Internet in later generations, it means that the majority of media have fallen into the ***.

In the eyes of some people, this situation is a sign of lack of confidence and inferiority complex. It is just a statement from the Pulitzer Prize jury committee. It has not really accepted "The Collapse of the Empire", so why is it worth being so happy? Is it true that only the affirmation of foreigners is considered a true affirmation, and if we ourselves think it is good, it doesn't count?

The unique history of China is the reason for this psychological itinerary. Even in the late decade of the first decade of the new century when China was booming in the past life, this idea that only outsiders recognized it was really good, and there was no shortage of market. Therefore, when some domestic media commented on the incident, thinking that it was a victory for the Chinese author to go to the world, someone immediately expressed opposition and questioning: "There are always some people who think that what we recognize is not really good. They have to ask outsiders to praise each other in unison to share their confidence, but it is obvious that this kind of thinking just shows that this type of people is not confident..."

Regarding foreign disputes, domestic views are divided into two factions. However, whether it is because of Yang Yi's rise of national popularity or the fact that he does not need to influence his views because of the attitude of outsiders, these two completely different voices expressed appreciation and support to Yang Yi himself.

Rogo also got the news from the President's Office the next day. After President Pang arrived at the company early in the morning, he saw that the president's office had not prepared before starting work, but they were chattering and talking about something. He immediately prepared to put on a serious face and educate these girls who were not separated from the occasion. As a result, an assistant who was better than Wei An, got up with a happy look before he spoke: "Dr. Luo, Mr. Yang, have been on CCTV news, and now the Citigroup has been arguing about his works. Do you think our company will take the opportunity to quickly launch a publicity offensive? Xinhua called early in the morning to ask, when will the book "The Collapse of the Empire" be published in China?"

The other clerks and girls from the CEO's office saw someone standing up and talking, and immediately came up to join in the fun: "I said, the publishing department and marketing department will worry about the publicity. We should ask the boss when he will treat him. They are already great writers and writers from overseas civilizations. It's not interesting, but it's unreasonable."

Finally, the fat man, who had figured out the cause and effect of the matter, didn't care about the perfunctory girls around him, and directly opened his mouth, and called Yang Yi: "Hey? Still having a 'love breakfast'? You guy is quite calm, come here quickly. Now the company is in trouble, yelling to treat you... What, don't you know? Okay, come here and tell you how it can be explained clearly on the phone..."

...

If the attitudes of this news in China are generally honored and at least very interested, then the only person who feels depressed is probably someone who just got into a feud with Yang Yi.
