The updates have been unstable during this period. Some book friends know the reason, while some don’t. They may think that I am going to stop writing, but that is not the case. I will give an explanation here and also explain the updates in the next period of time.
In the recent period, due to house renovation, moving, and wedding banquet, the updates were few and unstable.
The wedding banquet was a buffet in our local rural area, held in our new house. The banquet alone took two days, plus the preparations, setting up the awning, renting tableware, buying vegetables, slaughtering pigs, setting up the stove, chopping wood, arranging accommodation for distant relatives, cleaning, etc., so the event was interrupted for several days during the National Day holiday.
It rained heavily on the first day of the wedding. Mingqiao was soaked to the skin while setting up the awning in the rain. Then she caught a cold. It’s the 13th and she hasn’t recovered yet. She’s still coughing and taking medicine.
After the National Day banquet, I learned that my wife was pregnant with our second child. We happened to be living in a new house, and I was extremely worried: Would the newly renovated house cause formaldehyde poisoning? Would it have any impact on the fetus? Would the fetus be born with congenital malformations
My family discussed and argued for the whole day yesterday, so I didn’t write any updates. I even wanted to abort the child, but was finally persuaded by my parents and wife.
My wife is not young anymore, and it would be a shame to abort the baby if she is already pregnant, so we finally decided to try our luck and not have the baby. I hope that such a small probability event will not happen to my unborn child.
Of course, my wife definitely can't live in the new house. Now my wife is staying with her parents temporarily until the winter, so that the new house can get rid of the smell.
Tomorrow, Mingqiao will go to Guiyang to attend a creative training course organized by a provincial writers' association. The course will last for 20 days and will require full-time study. She will not be back until early November, so the updates will be extremely unstable for the next 20 days or so.
When I was in college, I neglected my studies because of reading novels and dropped out halfway. Now I have an exam next weekend for the self-study undergraduate program I signed up for. I haven't read any of the review materials the teacher sent me. After arriving in Guiyang, I study during the day and can only use the evening time to cram. I hope I can get 60 points, otherwise I will have to take a make-up exam later.
In addition to these major events, there are also many trivial matters at home and outside. People who have established a family, have elderly parents and children to take care of, and are in their thirties, should be able to understand Mingqiao's age or even older book friends.
I say this because some readers have left comments expressing concerns that I might be a eunuch, which I firmly deny.
I cannot guarantee updates during this period, but I can guarantee that this book will not be abandoned, because this is my job now, and I rely on writing novels to earn an income to support my family. It will never be abandoned, it's just that the updates will not be strong.
After the training class in November, if there are no other special events, we should be able to resume normal updates.
During the study period, the update will be irregular. I will update it when I have time. Please don't ask why it has not been updated or whether it has been abandoned. I hope you understand! If you really can't wait, you can put it on the bookshelf for a few months.
It was online writing that enabled me to achieve financial freedom from being a wage-delayed worker to one who was financially independent in just two years. Although I had to borrow money and take out loans to renovate my house, it was the income from writing novels that gave me the confidence to borrow money and take out loans, and I was able to borrow money and take out loans.
Therefore, Mingqiao has always been grateful to the online literature industry and to the book friends who have given me support and encouragement!
Poor writing and slow typing are problems of ability, too many trivial matters and insufficient updates are objective problems, but subjectively, Mingqiao is willing to engage in this industry that she likes for the rest of her life, and insist on finishing every book and never leave it unfinished!
I hope my fellow book lovers will understand, and thank you all again for your support!
