Chapter 76 Do you know why?
"I was just wandering around, and unexpectedly I suddenly saw my book." Mao Sanhuo held two books, "Since I have seen them all, everyone who sees them has a share, and each of them has a copy. By the way, if you want the author’s signature, I can’t force myself to write it.”
Mao San’s mouth turned into a fish’s mouth with such a sullen expression.
However, it is true that among the resident writers of "The Reasoning of Time", the probability of publishing a book is only 50%.
"Would it be too forced to sign?" Gu Lu took the book.
"Nanhai Publishing House is very powerful. How are the sales?" Bian Long looked back and forth, his envy evident in his words.
"The sales volume is not bad, about 80,000 copies were sold in one month after the launch," Mao Sanhuo said, "barely enough data."
"If it exceeds 100,000 copies, it is a bestseller, right? "Bian Long said, "I don't know when I will be able to publish a book."
"According to the current standards of the publishing industry, a bestseller is 150,000 copies." Mao Sanhuang said, "It still needs to continue. Work hard.”
In the future, when the physical industry is sluggish, selling 20,000 copies in the first month will already be a best-seller. Gu Lu admitted that he was a little sore and began to think, could "Mr. Holmes" be published?
If published, how many sales will there be?
"That's not right. If we want sales, I might as well look forward to "The Little Prince."" Gu Lu thought.
The appearance of the saint in front of people made people feel refreshed. Mao San's waist no longer ached and his legs no longer hurt. He was also generous and even treated the two of them to roast corn.
The three of them slowly returned to the hotel. Gu Lu took a shower and lay down on the bed to rest.
It’s not like their writers can have fun, today the Korean editor and others started to work.
The proofreading of the first volume of "Mr. Holmes" has been completed, and Gu Lu has received nearly 10,000 yuan in royalties.
One thing I haven’t mentioned while shopping today is that Gu Lu bought a smartphone. The Xiaomi 1 was released last year and cost 1,999 soft sister coins. Although the functions are still very imperfect, after logging into the Penguin account, It’s no problem to create document codewords, play Fruit Ninja, etc.
Gu Lu thinks iPhone 4s and 5 are too expensive, and he is not an Apple fan.
After time travel, for the first time without Monternet, Gu Lu clicked on the "Class Five Family" group to log into his QQ.
[Pianruo Jinghongwu (Zhao Juan): I don’t want to go to military training, I’m so tired.
The results are all in vain (Chen Xue): Then don’t go.
Mei Zhijianxia (Wang Han): Military training is quite useful.
延溺鎻婒 (Wang Wenjun): Military training is a piece of cake, but our school does not offer military training.
06 (Zhang Yudong): Meow, are you an idiot? Technical secondary schools also require military training.
06: Look at my QQ show, is it good? Is it handsome?
Kuang Miao Xiu Ai: Damn it, how did you light up the red diamond icon?
……]
Every time Gu Lu looked at the group name, he felt like he was out of place. Just like "Grades are all in the clouds", it should be derived from the ancient Internet meme "All the gods are in the clouds", but it is very popular now.
There are also lighting icons. In his previous life, he himself had studied frantically in order to click on a few more icons.
The group is very lively every day, I really hope it can continue to be lively.
Through the chat records in the group, I also had a vague understanding of the development curve of his classmates. Zhang Yudong was sent to the private Wudu Second Foreign Language School by his parents.
As for the other members of the Park Alliance, Wang Hongming went to Yu High School as an art student, and Xiaotian and Chen Xue went to technical secondary school.
Fan Xiaotian, who had no pressure to study further after attending technical secondary school, was like a wild horse running wild, often reading novels all night long. Gu Lu also reminded him a few words to pay attention to his health.
[Pianruo Jinghongwu: I heard that the management of No. 3 Middle School is very strict, it’s scary. ]
Zhao Juan sent a message. Gu Lu thought about what Bi Yan said. Should No. 8 Middle School be more exaggerated?
Let’s chat...
Time is not actually moving at a uniform speed. According to reliable research, the flow rate during holidays is three times that of non-holidays.
The summer vacation is gone in a blink of an eye, and the No. 8 Middle School will conduct military training on August 24.
Gu Lu, who had just returned home from Bingcheng for two days, received a call from Gu’s father. "You have been away from home all day and night. Where have you been?"
The moment he was connected, he was scolded all over his face.
"Do you still know that you are a student?"
The anger value was at least three plus signs, and Gu Lu Anping finished the damage to the other party.
He said calmly: "Dad, are you back? It's too early this time. It's only been more than forty days. Doesn't it usually take fifty or sixty days for you to come back?"
< br>It was like pouring a basin of ice water on him. Father Gu on the other end of the phone became even more angry instantly, "I'm busy working outside. Do you think it's for fun? What will you eat if I don't go to work? What will you take to school?"
"I didn't say you weren't busy with work, right?" Gu Lu said.
There are so many words stuck in my throat. Why is Father Gu so excited all of a sudden? Because you are right, he was supposed to hang out outside for a week or two, but just yesterday he was called by Ms. Zheng Yanfei and got into trouble. A scolding.
That’s why Gu’s father remembered that he had a child, so he pretended to go home and didn’t see Gu Lu come home for a whole day.
How should I put it? Father Gu is not attentive. He should be able to analyze more things if he takes a closer look at the cleanliness of the room and the clothes in the closet.
"Come back soon, don't think it's important because you can write two compositions." Gu's father spread his feeling of being scolded to his child.
"I'm not coming back today, let's do it tomorrow." Gu Lu said, "I'm back just in time. I have something to tell you tomorrow."
"You..."
After Gu Lu finished speaking I hung up the phone and was in a good mood, so I hummed a song, "You are looking at the lonely scenery, escaping has my memories, uh uh uh uh... what song is this? I forgot the lyrics at the end."
Very angry, Father Gu looked at his phone and decided to wait for Gu Lu to come home tomorrow to teach him a lesson and let him know why the flowers are so red!
The next day, Gu Lu took the physical examination report from the hospital before and went home to prepare for the battle.
It was already around ten o'clock when we arrived at the house in the lock area, almost noon.
Using the key to open the door, Gu Lu had just closed it when a stern male voice came, "Do you still know where home is?!"
It was Gu's father who spoke, standing in the small The face in the living room is serious, and if you look closely, you can see bloodshot eyes. Maybe he didn't sleep well all night, or maybe he was having a hard time without drinking.
Looking at the posture, it is clear that we want to raise an army to hold him accountable!
"Home? Is this home? Why didn't I see it?" Gu Lu suddenly asked three times in a row, catching Father Gu off guard.
"You..." As soon as Gu's father said a word, he was interrupted by Gu Lu.
He interrupted: "Dad, we started military training today. Do you know why I didn't go?"
Gu's father thought the first half of the sentence was an explanation, but the second half was It was a question, shaking his head and looking at Gu Lu.
"Because of my gastric erosion and hypoglycemia, the doctor does not recommend that I undergo military training." Gu Lu handed over the physical examination report.
Gu Lu asked again: "Dad, do you know why I have stomach erosion and low blood sugar?"
Regardless of Gu's father's response, Gu Lu asked and answered his own question, "Because I have been eating irregularly for a long time, oh no, that's too polite to say, it's because I haven't had enough to eat for a long time and I'm hungry. Originally, I was malnourished. In the past two or three months, I'm better off."
"So dad, do you want to know why I don't have enough to eat for a long time?" Gu Lu said directly, "Because I have no living expenses and no rice at home."
The hand holding the medical examination report was trembling, and Gu’s father’s aura of asking for justice was completely gone. He asked confidently, “There is no money or rice at home, why don’t you ask me for it?”
“ I can’t get through to you, dad,” Gu Lu said, “In your opinion, dad, how many times have you given me living expenses? How many times have you paid for a card I applied for?”< br>
Gu Lu looked at Father Gu, "I come back once every fifty or sixty days, and I pay an average of ten or twenty yuan each time. Or do you think, dad, that I can live on just one or twenty yuan when I'm younger?"
"Dad", Father Gu now feels that this title is a bit harsh.
