A Yamaha 125 is worth 2,650 yuan for foreign exchange coupons. According to the official statement, RMB and foreign exchange coupons are equivalent, but ordinary people vote with their feet. Now, a foreign exchange coupon can be exchanged for one yuan and one yuan and five yuan. In terms of conversion, a motorcycle is worth more than 3,000 yuan.

In 1981, when the per capita salary was no more than 50 yuan, it was a perfect luxury item, equivalent to a million-dollar luxury car in later generations.

And this Yamaha is driving on the streets today, and it does have the style of a million-dollar luxury car.

While on the road, Tao Yushu was fully focused on driving and had no intention of paying attention to the passers-by. At this moment, the motorcycle was parked at the doorstep. Not only her sister Tao Yumo, but also many neighbors also looked curious and envious.

The people living in the Overseas Chinese Apartment are in good condition, and a motorcycle is nothing to some neighbors, but it is very eye-catching to ride a red Yamaha motorcycle for lesbians like Tao Yushu.

The car parked downstairs for two minutes, and several neighbors ran over to say hello to Tao Yushu and asked what was going on with the motorcycle.

When it was heard that the motorcycle her husband bought for his wife, many lesbians couldn't help but give envious eyes to Tao Yushu, and even the eyes that looked at Lin Chaoyang were filled with hot appreciation.

Tao Yushu was filled with compliments from the neighbors, but she had to make a calm and generous expression on her face. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the neighbors left.

"Sister, it's very hard to hold it in, right?" Tao Yumo teased.

Tao Yushu glared at her arrogantly, "You are just talking too much."

Just as he was talking, the guard at the door led the man over.

"Old Liu, why are you here?" Lin Chaoyang greeted the person who came forward.

Liu Xinwu shook hands with Lin Chaoyang with a smile, "Come here to send you two books."

As he spoke, he took out two books from his briefcase he carried with him.

The cover of the book is a slightly abstract self-portrait of a character. Lin Chaoyang recognized at a glance that he was the protagonist of his novel - Van Gogh.

"Lengthening for Life - Biography of Van Gogh".

Lin Chaoyang asked with a smile: "Is it going to be published so soon?"

"It's not too soon. Your novel has been published for more than half a year. Our publishing plan is a little later than your novel."

Some time ago, Liu Xinwu came to Lin Chaoyang and said that influenced by "The Death of Van Gogh", Yanjing Publishing House planned to introduce the biography "Desire for Life" written by Irving Stone for Van Gogh, hoping that he would help to make a preface. Lin Chaoyang happily agreed at that time.

A few days later, Lin Chaoyang wrote the preface and handed it to Liu Xinwu. Today, Liu Xinwu came to deliver the book, which was a reward for his favor.

"Let's go and go in the house and say." Lin Chaoyang pulled Liu Xinwu to go upstairs.

He saw the motorcycle parked there and asked, "A new motorcycle?"

"I bought it for Yushu."

"No wonder it's red, the jade book ride is so heroic."

Liu Xinwu's praise made Tao Yushu even more happy, and his eyes looked at Lin Chaoyang full of tenderness and sweetness.

The three of them went upstairs, but Tao Yumo was still drooling at the motorcycle downstairs.

When can I buy a motorcycle?

When she went to Beidaihe before, she wanted to buy a camera. Today, she saw her sister's motorcycle and immediately changed her target.

After work, I must buy a motorcycle.

Must be red!

After going upstairs, Tao Yushu went to prepare supper. Liu Xinwu first talked to Lin Chaoyang about the publication and distribution of the book "Desire for Life - Biography of Van Gogh".

In the past, Yanjing Publishing House also often introduced foreign publications, but this time, the introduction of "Desire for Life - The Biography of Van Gogh" was completely influenced by "The Death of Van Gogh".

"The Death of Van Gogh" has been published for nearly seven months, and its influence has continued to ferment. It has not only been greatly welcomed by the readers, but also has become the favorite of countless writers and critics. It can be said to be one of the most highly rated novels in the literary world in recent years.

With the influence of "The Death of Van Gogh", Van Gogh, a legendary Western artist, has also become a familiar figure among many Chinese people in the past six months.

In later generations, Van Gogh had such high popularity in China in the late 1980s, when Van Gogh's works auctioned several times and were only well-known to the Chinese people after they were widely reported by the media.

This laid a good foundation for Yanjing Publishing House to introduce "Desire for Life - Biography of Van Gogh". This time, Yanjing Publishing House was full of confidence in publishing this biography, and the first print was 50,000 copies.

In recent years, Chinese people have been very enthusiastic about foreign literary works. Many classic literary masterpieces are sold at hundreds of thousands or even millions of them, but "Desire for Life - Biography of Van Gogh" is different.

This work is not a novel, but a biographical work. It is born without readers' appeal in terms of subject matter. Another key factor is that its own fame and the reputation of the author have almost no one in China have heard of it.

The first print of 50,000 copies is undoubtedly a very risky move for such a work.

Under such circumstances, Yanjing Publishing House still dared to print 50,000 copies for the first time, betting that the influence of "The Death of Van Gogh" in the reader group was enough to prompt these people to be interested in this biographical work with Van Gogh as the protagonist and be willing to pay for it.

After talking about the situation of "Desire for Life - The Biography of Van Gogh", Liu Xinwu was also concerned about the situation of Lin Chaoyang's new novel "The Chess Saint".

"Your novel is quite controversial!"

"Why? Even you heard about it?" Lin Chaoyang asked with a smile.

"I read the article in "Shanghai Literature" and I heard it has received a lot of response. You are now the most popular young writer in China. If you use it to make a piece of work, you will naturally gain a lot of attention."

Seeing that Lin Chaoyang's expression did not change at all because of the controversy caused by his mention of "The Chess Saint", Liu Xinwu said in a relaxed tone: "It seems you have expected this?"

"It can't be said that I had expected it. But in this environment, the ideas expressed in my book will definitely cause some people to feel uncomfortable."

Liu Xinwu nodded slightly and agreed with Lin Chaoyang's point of view, "It's good that you have this idea, don't be influenced by the voices outside. The novel is generally very good, and the views in that article are too biased."

Then he said, "But Lao Zhang from our editorial department really has some opinions about your novel."

Lin Chaoyang showed an inquiring look, and Liu Xinwu smiled and said, "He is a Go enthusiast. I think the plot of Jiangnansheng fighting against nine at the end of you is too irrelevant. He said that unless your Jiangnansheng is based on Wu Qingyuan, he can also understand that your novel has nothing to do with Wu Qingyuan."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and did not argue for himself, "These Go enthusiasts have all substituted for the Go confrontation between China and Japan in recent decades, and their ideas are correct. However, it is not impossible to fight against nine, right?"

Liu Xinwu didn't know where Lin Chaoyang's confidence came from, and thought he was to express his optimism about the future of Chinese Go.

"It's okay to think so, everything is possible."

Liu Xinwu had a meal at Lin Chaoyang's house and left. After he left, Tao Yumo entangled Tao Yushu.

The Yamaha 125 really made her jealous. After she came back, she was no longer able to afford a motorcycle. But there was no problem with her picking up her sister's motorcycle.

That night, Tao Yumo was sleeping in a daze, and there seemed to be a crying sound in his ears, which lasted for a long time.

The next day, Tao Yushu went out to practice driving again, and the couple had to bring this little tail with them.

After a day of practice, Tao Yushu's motorcycle was already very good, but as soon as Tao Yumo sat behind her, she shouted loudly, which directly reduced her level. The car was riding a twist, which scared Lin Chaoyang quickly asked Tao Yushu to stop.

"What are you always shouting?" After getting off the car, Tao Yushu complained in anger.

Tao Yumo knew that he was in the wrong, so he smiled carefully and said, "Aren't I too excited?"

Lin Chaoyang felt something was wrong with Tao Yumo. Whose good guy rides a motorcycle is this reaction? Isn’t this girl a hidden ghost fire girl?

He shook the picture in his mind and said to Tao Yumo seriously: "Yumo, motorcycles are made of meat and iron. If they are fast, they can easily cause danger, and they are life-threatening, do you know?"

Tao Yumo asked in confusion: "Brother-in-law, it's my sister riding a bicycle. Why are you talking to me about this?"

Lin Chaoyang glared at her, "Do you still know that it's your sister riding a bike? Then why are you so responsive?"

The two of them scolded her next to each other. Tao Yumo was a little depressed. He was under the eaves and had to bow his head!

Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, Lin Chaoyang yawned, "Okay, let's practice here, I think it's almost done."

For two consecutive days, Tao Yushu's motorcycle has been ridden very skillfully.

"I'll take you to work."

Tao Yushu is carrying a motorcycle, and she has a pair of slender and toned thighs, like a carefully carved work of art by nature.

These long legs can really kill people!

Lin Chaoyang thought of the tenderness of last night in his mind, and couldn't help but twitch his heart.

It’s not in vain to buy a motorcycle!

He was referring to the fact that of course someone picked him up and took him to and from get off work.

Tao Yumo excitedly instigated: "Sister, brother-in-law, let's go home for lunch."

Her little thoughts were not difficult to guess, but she wanted her family to see Tao Yushu's motorcycle.

This kind of mentality is probably the same as the young and dandy showing off my boss is Brother Crow.

The red motorcycle was speeding on the road, hundreds of meters away, Tao Yumo was angry while riding the bicycle. Is it great to have a motorcycle? I don’t know how to wait for me!

Tao Yushu rode the Yamaha 125 all the way into Yan University campus. It is summer vacation and there are no students in the school.

The motorcycle stopped at the entrance of Yanda Library. At this moment, the employees were at work and saw Tao Yushu riding a motorcycle carrying Lin Chaoyang, and his eyes were full of novelty.

After the motorcycle roared away, everyone surrounded him curiously.

"Chaoyang, what's going on?"

"What's the situation?"

"When did your family buy a motorcycle?"

"I just bought it yesterday."

"Why is your wife riding? She even asked her to give it to you?"

"Barring nonsense, I bought it for her. If she doesn't ride me?"

Lin Chaoyang's words made everyone silent. It is normal for a family to buy a motorcycle nowadays, but this is the first time that everyone has heard of buying a car for their wife.

The most important thing is that Lin Chaoyang actually asked his wife to ride a motorcycle to take him to work.

How should I say this behavior?

The combination of showing off dog food and eating soft rice is very consistent with Lin Chaoyang's previous personality.

After entering the library, Du Rong asked in a low voice: "Chaoyang, your motorcycle is quite expensive, right? I think it's an imported car?"

"Well, Yamaha's, it's a little more expensive than domestic motorcycles."

"How much is a little bit?"

"More than two thousand."

Lin Chaoyang said a very conservative number, but even so, Du Rong took a breath.

"It's enough to buy a house with this money. Your wife is riding a house now!"

Her expression was filled with amazement, and she couldn't help but say, "You writers are so rich!"
