Chapter 110 Wife, can you listen to my quibbles? !
When Cheng Xuemin and his wife came back, it was actually very late!
When they entered the house, no one came back except Feng’s mother. Even her sister-in-law Feng Jiamo, who was the last to finish school, was back!
The elder sister-in-law Ke Yumei is helping to prepare dinner in the kitchen, while the second sister-in-law Sun Juan is teaching her daughter and son in the house.
"Xuemin, are you okay tomorrow?" My uncle Feng Jiazhao greeted Cheng Xuemin and said, "Lao Xie's side is almost done. Our Yan Film Studio wants to talk to you, the author and screenwriter, in person!"
"Hello, brother, it's tomorrow, right?" Cheng Xuemin nodded to him and said, "Okay, there should be nothing to do tomorrow. You can call me and join us tomorrow morning!"
Director Xie Jin had to figure out the storyboard by himself, and I heard that he spent all day in retreat in the guest house of Yanying Studio.
He also kept urging Cheng Xuemin to join him in retreat when he had time, saying that inspiration should come from a collision and it would be easier to communicate in person.
If Cheng Xuemin is busy with the atomic bomb these two days, how can he have time to spend time with Xie Jin, an old man, in retreat?
"Dad, the manuscript has been published by People's Literature and has been reviewed by Mr. Wu. It is scheduled to be published in the newspaper tomorrow morning!"
After entering the main room, Cheng Xuemin told his father-in-law Feng about his visit to the Humanities Club today.
"Mr. Wu has approved it, right? If the newspaper is published tomorrow, then the first edition from the printing house should have come out by this time!"
Father Feng put down the newspaper in his hand, nodded, took stock, and said!
Because it will be published in newspapers as soon as possible tomorrow morning, People's Literature has already started printing at full strength this afternoon, and it will have to be packed out of the factory and sent to the train station in the evening for transportation to all directions across the country.
After all, People's Literature carries the brand name of "People's" and is national. It is not only published and sold in Yanjing.
"Also, Mr. Wu also gave a reply to Mom's October, and the article will be republished in the next Monday's issue!"
Cheng Xuemin continued.
"Eh? Really?!"
At this time, Father Feng couldn't help but look stunned. He didn't expect that there was such news. He quickly realized it and said with a smile, "It seems that your mother and Lao Liu got the additional issue this time because of you." The opportunity is not in vain!”
They are all smart people in the industry. Now "October" has just resumed publication, and its influence has not yet fully spread. In this case, it is almost rare to give the opportunity to add additional issues!
After all, whether the magazine adds more issues or not, the funds involved are not small. It’s just that the magazine cannot make the decision itself and has to ask for instructions from above.
Only after requesting approval and approval can additional publications be issued, and all funds will be in place following the publication.
Otherwise, if he wants to add more issues, Liu Xinwu will have to pay for additional issues out of his own pocket.
Pay out of pocket?
The funding required for an additional issue alone is as high as several thousand dollars in manuscript fees for the author. There are also other proofreading, printing, transportation, etc., which are not even tens of thousands of dollars.
So without the support from above, I feel powerless.
Now Cheng Xuemin suddenly said that Mr. Wu had approved October and could reprint it in an additional issue, scheduled for next Monday.
That was obviously thanks to Cheng Xuemin, and his mother and Lao Liu would have to share this relationship in the future!
“I think so too!”
Cheng Xuemin didn't talk much. He didn't have a few words with his father-in-law before he went back to his room.
Taking advantage of the fact that Feng Jiayou was helping in the kitchen, Cheng Xuemin quickly hid the three hundred yuan illustration fee into his own coffers!
"Dear Old Cheng, please help me analyze this question...Dear Old Cheng, why are you secretly carrying my sister on your back?"
Just when Cheng Xuemin was about to stuff the "Marxism-Leninism" with his private money back into the library, his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo suddenly broke in and shouted behind him.
"Ah! Jiamo! You are a cat and don't make any noise when you walk?!"
Cheng Xuemin was really frightened and said repeatedly, "Besides, you didn't knock on the door when you came in, so be careful of your sister scolding you!"
He conveniently stuffed the "Marxism-Leninism" in his hand into the library!
"Old man Cheng, why are you blaming me for being so sneaky?!" Feng Jiamo glanced at the "Marxism-Leninism" that Cheng Xuemin had stuffed into him. A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. He stopped mentioning anything else and just reviewed the book. He threw the information on the desk and said, "Look, help me analyze it, how to solve this problem?"
It's also mathematical geometry, which is my sister-in-law's shortcomings, maybe all girls are like this.
But that’s it! It was just a basic mathematics test question at about the level of the third grade of junior high school, which was really a drizzle for Cheng Xuemin.
In addition, after he was reborn, it felt like his brain was constantly developing for a second time, which was awesome!
Now Cheng Xuemin can learn anything quickly, he can read three lines at a glance, and he has a legendary photographic memory.
For exam questions like those asked by my sister-in-law, the answers can be obtained very quickly just by scanning them. It’s really like scanning them on the ‘Homework Helper’.
With a simple glance, all the right and wrong answers will be revealed.
"You don't know how to solve such a simple question? Are you meditating and cultivating in school all the time!?"
"Come on, come on, give me the pen!"
Cheng Xuemin looked down upon his sister-in-law, grabbed her newly bought pen, and randomly drew an auxiliary line on the cube!
"No, no, no, don't use a pen to draw the auxiliary lines! Isn't there a pencil?" Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo saw the elder Cheng and casually drew an auxiliary line on her exam question. It was useless not to mention the dotted line. It was a pen, and he said anxiously, "If this is a wrong drawing, how can I correct it?"
"Wrong drawing?!"
Cheng Xuemin felt on the spot that his authority had been insulted by his sister-in-law's wanton provocation, so he impatiently drove people away and said, "Let's go and ask for advice elsewhere. I won't make a mistake. I'm going to be busy now!"
"Tch, just leave. I'll tell my sister to go. Now you're a whore, Old Cheng. How dare you not teach me or help me with my homework!"
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo was very naughty and naughty this time. She stuck out her tongue to Cheng Xuemin and asked him to wait for her to go to her sister to complain. She didn't continue to pester her, which was rare.
"Tch, I have a royalties bill of more than 2,000 yuan in my hand. I haven't told your sister yet. How can I still be afraid that you will file a lawsuit?"
"Believe it or not, your sister will have to kneel down later!"
After driving his sister-in-law away, Cheng Xuemin also laughed and muttered something in a low voice from behind.
Now, tonight, he, Cheng Xuemin, is the master in front of the young sisters of the Feng family!
He also took out the bill of royalties that was to be handed over to Feng Jiayou from his pocket, and put it all away for the evening to stimulate Feng Jiayou.
In order to stimulate her, Cheng Xuemin didn't even say a word to the Feng family's Yusong that he had received payment bills today, and there were more than one.
I have to go to the bookstore to buy some tissue paper later. Now I want to help draw illustrations for the Humanities Society and Yanjing Literature, so I have to prepare some illustration tissue paper.
Moreover, he had to go behind the Feng family's back, after all, his private life was not visible to the public.
Not long after, mother-in-law Feng Mu also came back, and the kitchen also called for dinner. Cheng Xuemin cleaned up and went out. He happened to see Feng Jiamo's sister-in-law, muttering something to her sister Feng Jiayou, and talking to each other from time to time. The two of them came to him for prostitution!
Complain, right? Feel free to complain!
Anyway, Cheng Xuemin has two thousand dollars in his hand. No matter how bad his sister-in-law is, her sister will still have to kneel down tonight.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin was looking forward to seeing what his sister-in-law could tell him. It was best to warm up and stimulate her sister in advance.
Wouldn't it be more exciting to reverse it this way?
At the dinner table, Feng's mother was still smiling like a flower, talking to Feng's father and the others about the additional issue of her unit today. At the same time, he also said that the additional issue this time was possible thanks to Cheng Xuemin, his son-in-law. He said that Lao Liu would have come to his home to thank him in person.
But he had to stare at the sample magazine at night, so he didn’t have time to come over!
What Cheng Xuemin could say was definitely followed by a few polite words!
"By the way, Lao Liu originally wanted to return the royalties bill to you, but I didn't let him!"
"Lao Liu will open this one for you later, please keep it!"
Mother Feng handed the manuscript fee slip in her pocket to...Cheng Xuemin!
Yes!
In the past, the manuscript payment bills she brought back were usually for her daughter Feng Jiayou, but today it was completely different!
For the first time, she bypassed her daughter and handed the royalties bill directly to Cheng Xuemin!
This is a sign... the family status has risen again!
“Mom, is there a draft bill again? Let’s take a look!”
But before Cheng Xuemin could get started, the young Feng family next to him had quick eyes and quick hands and snatched the manuscript fee slip on the table, grinning at Cheng Xuemin and said, "Didn't you already give me this manuscript? Why are you giving it to me again?" "
Then look at the fee sheet in your hand to see how much the fee is!
“People’s Literature gave me another one today, and it was also priced at seven yuan per thousand words, so when I stopped by my mother’s work, I returned that one to Teacher Liu!”
Cheng Xuemin explained to this money-obsessed woman.
"People's Literature also gave it?! Then the royalties must be refunded to Mom's October!" Money fans are money fans, but they knew that double money could not be accepted. Feng Jiayou nodded and looked at the royalties slip in his hand and asked again, " One hundred and twenty-one?"
Feng Jiayou went through the amount of the manuscript fee several times but still couldn't figure it out. Which manuscript was the fee for?
“The reprint fee for our additional issue in October will be paid by Lao Liu according to the top reprint fee in the industry, which is four yuan per thousand words!”
Feng's mother glared at her debt collector angrily, secretly blaming her debt collector for being too quick. After all, she let you, a man, go through the door first. How could you grab it directly?
"Four yuan for a thousand words? Lao Liu is so interesting this time! I used to dig and search for royalties before, but this time it's rare!"
Feng Jiayou smiled so happily. He didn't expect that he could receive royalties for reprinting an article. How could he not be happy about it?
“You think what we paid in October was too little, it’s all industry standard royalties, there’s nothing rare or hard to come by!”
Mother Feng couldn't bear to hear her family's debt collector say this. If she hadn't been behind the scenes and encouraged her man to join Yenching Literature, her son-in-law's "Wrangler" would have been theirs in October!
If they had published "The Wrangler" by their son-in-law in October last month, the first article reflecting on literature, the popularity of the first draft would have followed their October influence, and it would have certainly followed suit!
As for the atomic bomb this time, Mr. Wu couldn’t use the excuse of insufficient influence as an excuse, so he replaced someone and charged first!
If they released this atomic bomb exclusively in October, coupled with the influence of the previous "Wrangler", Feng's mother could not imagine how high their influence in October would be reached by her son-in-law.
It's a pity, that's all I think about it!
So whenever the debt collector Feng Jiayou said that October was bad or stingy, he would be very unhappy.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault, my fault, it's all my fault. From now on, whenever Xuemin publishes a new manuscript, Mom, I will send it to your room as soon as possible. Is that okay?"
The Feng family happily collected the royalties, ignoring the eager glances of the little girl Feng Jiamo next to them, and then coaxed her mother.
"Don't just stare at Xuemin, where are you?!"
"You agreed to give me the manuscript this month, but what about the manuscript you wrote yourself? I haven't seen a word of it until now. It's a shame that you are still a student of the Chinese Department of Yanda. Isn't it a shame?"
As for the deceitful debt collector, Mother Feng wouldn't believe anything she said!
And don’t focus on exploiting your men all day long. After all, you have to combine work and rest with haste. They will publish the atomic bomb in the October issue. There is no rush to publish the next issue. The son-in-law has plenty of time to slowly think about it!
Striving for another big satellite, let them publish an exclusive big satellite in October!
"Hehe, are you writing now?" Feng Jiayou collapsed on the spot after hearing this, and said forcefully, "This has just been a manuscript for Yanjing Literature. New manuscripts must be carefully conceived and conceived first, Mom, tell me Yes or no!?"
"Okay, then you take your time and think about it carefully, and try to get it into the next issue! In this way, if you two publish it at the same time, it will be a good story about a husband singing and a wife following each other!"
Feng's mother also began to worry. This son-in-law is so outstanding!
Before, I completely looked down on this son-in-law with muddy legs and hairy feet. I felt that my daughter, a top student in the Chinese Department of Yan University, was not worthy of him as an illiterate, so I had opinions everywhere I looked.
But now it's the other way around. This son-in-law has become too dazzling and outstanding. Now Feng's mother is beginning to worry that her family's debt collectors can't keep up.
Therefore, we must have strict requirements on this debt collector and must be rolled up and pursued.
Let’s not talk about whether you can catch up or not, but you must catch up. It doesn’t matter if you are one step slower or two steps slower. What you are afraid of is that you are slow one step slower and slower every step. If you cannot catch up at all, the gap will become wider and wider!
So, don’t think that because your man can earn royalties, she can choose to lie down.
"Really?! Mom, are you really going to write about us in the next issue?!" Feng Jiayou's eyes lit up when he heard this, don't be too surprised.
"The premise is that your manuscript must be excellent and people can't find any faults. Otherwise, people will say that "October" was created by our family and went through the back door. I want you to look good!"
Mother Feng continued to glare at the debt collector again. Don't fool the ghost by writing casually.
"Okay, okay, with your son-in-law by your side to help with the writing, how can your daughter's manuscript be any worse?"
"When I vote for Yenching Literature, I always get it right. Isn't it great?!"
Even before Feng Jiayou started writing the manuscript, he started to get carried away!
"Yenjing Literature, Yanjing Literature, can you mention it less? Or you might as well forget about it!"
Well!
As he said this, he started to get angry again. It was really very mother-in-law, and it could be regarded as the daily life of the two of them!
After dinner, Cheng Xuemin fetched hot water from outside and returned to the house. He saw his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo with her sister and the cat again!
"Xuemin, Jiamo just said that there was something wrong with you behind my back. Is this the case?!"
The Feng family young man's eyes were fixed on Cheng Xuemin, and he asked with a half-smile!
"No, my dear, please don't listen to her nonsense. She must have complained just now, saying that I didn't help her with her homework properly, right!?"
When Cheng Xuemin heard that it was his sister-in-law who had complained, he hurriedly explained and asked Feng Jiamo: "Don't worry about it, just ask you if you can help you draw the auxiliary line correctly!"
"Old man Cheng, don't talk about whether the auxiliary line is right or not. You should be honest and frank with my sister. Tell me what you are hiding behind my sister's back!"
"You were sneaking around just now when you were alone in the house!"
Feng Jiamo glanced at Cheng Xuemin with his hands on his hips and asked proudly!
"Why am I sneaking around in my own room! Feng Jiamo, don't ruin my reputation by talking nonsense!"
"You won't admit it, will you!?"
"Sister, this is "Marxism-Leninism". He was secretly hiding this just now. There must be something going on in it!"
While they were talking, sister-in-law Feng Jiamo dug out the book "Marxism-Leninism" that Cheng Xuemin had hidden in his treasury!
“No, my dear, please listen to my explanation!”
In an instant, Cheng Xuemin's expression changed drastically, and he tried to quibble.
…
On the last day of this month, please continue to ask for monthly votes, thank you!
