Chapter 148 I bought a gold necklace to please the Feng family!
"Isn't it one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two?"
Hearing Cheng Xuemin's question, Feng Jiayou blurted out the specific royalties. This showed that although she had not mentioned it to Cheng Xuemin, she had already calculated in her mind how much royalties she would receive for "Parental Love".
Even the fraction of fifty-two yuan can be reported so accurately.
Women, women, are so smart!
However, no matter how shrewd and calculating his daughter-in-law was, she must have failed to calculate. Cheng Xuemin also took back the royalties for the Three Kingdoms villain book.
"No, no, wife, guess again!"
Cheng Xuemin teased the woman and shook her head, asking her to continue guessing.
"Is there another reprint fee bill?!"
Since it's not one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, and seeing that his man's expression is so 'disgusting', he must have guessed too much.
How to guess how many?
In addition to "Parents' Love", her man's only remaining contribution in People's Literature was the reprint bill of "Director Qiao's Ascension to the Job".
But because of the Tianjin Daily incident, those publications that reprinted "Lao Qiao" often pretended to be ignorant and used it in vain, and they occasionally received a few payment bills before.
But after the Tianjin Daily came out, I hardly received any reprint fees.
how!
Is it happening again today?
Although the fee for reprinting the manuscript fee sheet is not much, most of which are about eighty or ninety yuan, it is equivalent to two months' salary of an ordinary worker.
Even for Feng Jiayou, her monthly student subsidy is only twenty-four and a half yuan.
Therefore, we really cannot underestimate these reprint fees.
"No, guess again!"
Cheng Xuemin shook his head again. The reprint fee bill was messed up by Tianjin Daily, and it has never been seen again!
But even if there was no such thing as Tianjin Daily, I wouldn’t have received a few pictures!
After all, it’s been a month, and those who consciously gave it to me have already given it to them. Those who did it unconsciously are not like Tianjin Daily, and they will not give it to them either.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin does not expect to rely on reprinting fees to celebrate the New Year.
"It's not about reprinting the manuscript, then... Xuemin, you don't have any other manuscripts!"
Feng Jiayou tilted his little head and thought hard about it, but after all the calculations, let alone People's Literature, even Yanjing Literature and Shanghai, there were no other manuscripts for which the royalties were not settled!
For this manuscript on the United Front, her mother's October manuscript fee bill was given to her last night, which is 217 yuan for seven yuan per thousand words;
The manuscript for "Harvest" in Shanghai , as early as last week, I received the sample issue and manuscript payment invoice;
Not to mention the novella of Yanjing Literature, which was collected and collected by them at the end of last month;
So the only one left is "Parental Love" from People's Literature, which I just went to collect today.
Where are the other royalties?
"Xuemin, you haven't written another manuscript, have you?" Seeing that Cheng Xuemin still didn't say anything and looked at him like a silly woman, the young Feng family simply stopped guessing and asked directly, "Be honest, this time again Which company did you apply to and how much was the royalties?”
Thinking that he was a habitual criminal, the more the Feng family thought about it, the more likely it was. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this man was getting bolder and bolder!
He secretly wrote the manuscript behind his back, but now he really didn't hide it at all and just let her guess.
Okay, good, awesome!
"No, no, no! My wife, you know that, except for those few articles, I have been busy with the long article of "Today" recently, and I have to be busy with the decoration of the new house. I really can't take it anymore. I’ll take the time to write other articles and give you a little surprise!”
Seeing the sparks in his wife's eyes, she must have thought that there was another collection of private money from the small treasury, and she was excited.
Cheng Xuemin quickly extinguished the woman's excitement, but he couldn't let her think about him every day.
Now Cheng Xuemin is not afraid of thieves, but he is afraid of being noticed by thieves, and even more afraid of being noticed by Feng Jiayou, a thief in the family.
"Then tell me directly, where can I get her royalties?"
It's either this or that. Feng Jiayou just stood in the dark because he really couldn't think of any other manuscripts written by Cheng Xuemin and he didn't receive any royalties.
"The Book of Three Kingdoms Villains!"
Cheng Xuemin also rolled his eyes. He had never seen such a stupid woman. He immediately stopped teasing the woman and took out the two manuscript fee slips he had on him and presented them in front of the woman.
"Book of Three Kingdoms Villains? Didn't I just hand it in today and get the royalties back!?"
"Really or not, so fast?"
When Cheng Xuemin mentioned the Three Kingdoms novel, Feng Jiayou's face was obviously startled. It really wasn't like he was pretending!
But just as the woman questioned!
For manuscripts submitted today, it is rare to see someone get their payment slip back on the same day!
Anyway, the few times Feng Jiayou accompanied him to submit manuscripts, he never received the manuscript fee bill on the same day.
So women can’t guess it, so it’s not surprising that they have this question, they’re just a little stupid.
I went through all the manuscripts in Cheng Xuemin's hands, but I didn't guess at the fee bill for a villain's book that I handed in today.
"It's really a Three Kingdoms novel, more than a thousand yuan!?"
When Feng Jiayou took the payment slip with confusion and expectation, he found that the first picture on it was, his eyes instantly brightened, and his face shouted with ecstasy.
Then I looked at the second picture, it was one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two yuan!
Not to mention the excitement!
It’s a pity that we haven’t even eaten dinner yet, otherwise Cheng Xuemin would have celebrated twice on the spot.
The daughter-in-law also saw the lustful glint in Cheng Xuemin's eyes, and knew that this man was in trouble, so she quickly hid aside and happily counted her private money.
This time, more than 2,800 yuan in royalties filled her coffers. In an instant, her private money once again exceeded 3,000 yuan, almost reaching 4,000 yuan!
Waiting for Cheng Xuemin to write the two scripts in his hand, and working hard after the new year, it will only be a matter of time before he returns to the peak of 8,000 yuan in savings, and this time will not be long, so it is worth looking forward to.
During dinner, Cheng Xuemin mentioned the decoration of the new house, and it was basically done.
After hearing this, Feng's mother directly stated her position, mobilizing the whole family not to think about running away. On Sunday, everyone would go to the new house to clear the wasteland and clean up, and strive to move there before the New Year.
"Hehe, sister! You have to go there this time, too. Old Cheng has prepared a big surprise for you!"
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo suddenly acted so coldly and sold Cheng Xuemin!
Is there a surprise in the new house, or is a big surprise waiting for you? On the spot, the young Feng family stared at Cheng Xuemin with stupid eyes, meaning to give him a chance to confess honestly.
But since it was a big surprise, how could Cheng Xuemin give it all up now?
We must talk about it when we go there together on Sunday the day after tomorrow!
It’s just my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo who ruined Cheng Xuemin’s good deeds by talking too much!
Originally, according to Cheng Xuemin's expectation, the entire family was mobilized to clean the house on Sunday, excluding the Feng family and young children.
I originally thought that when I moved directly, Feng Jiayou would go there!
Before going there, Cheng Xuemin had to lock the bathroom so that Feng Jiayou wouldn't find it for the time being.
In the evening, he prepared hot water, adjusted the mood, and let Feng Jiayou go in for a bath. Thinking about the atmosphere of that scene, Cheng Xuemin really didn't need to imagine how high it would be.
It's a pity that his good deeds were ruined early by his impatient and fast-talking sister-in-law.
"Daughter-in-law, look what I bought you!"
After washing up after the meal, Cheng Xuemin finally took out the gold necklace he bought today and placed it in front of his wife.
"You spent money randomly again, didn't you!?"
Cheng Xuemin didn't tell her honestly, and what he did in the new house made Feng Jiayou feel itchy.
I wanted to ask the Feng family, but I felt that what I knew from my sister's mouth and what I knew from her man's mouth must be two different things and two different feelings!
What you know from your sister's mouth may be a surprise, but what you know from your man's mouth may be a thrill.
So Feng Jiayou chose excitement and did not ask her sister.
I hope my man can stimulate her.
But now it's better, this man of his own is buying things randomly again to make her happy.
"Ah, Xuemin, you, you, you... why did you buy me this?"
But when Feng Jiayou opened the box, he found a bunch of shining gold necklaces inside. He was shocked and excited on the spot and couldn't help but ask.
"I received nearly 3,000 yuan in royalties today. When I passed by Lao Fengxiang in a happy mood, I went in to take a look!"
"I fell in love with this necklace at first sight. Wife, it will look great if you wear it!"
“So I bought it!”
"Daughter-in-law, tell me whether it looks good or not, and tell me whether you like it or not!"
Cheng Xuemin saw his wife's excitement and surprise in his eyes. Women were indeed born in the year of the dragon, and they all liked this kind of shiny gold jewelry. It was the same in all ages.
"It looks good, I like it!"
Feng Jiayou carefully lifted up the gold necklace in the box and nodded with joy in his eyes.
His eyes lit up again, and he asked: "Xuemin, this necklace... is this necklace... the same style that the heroine wore around her neck when we watched "The Hunt" before?"
This can be seen through by women at a glance. It can be seen that when watching the movie, other women were attracted by her bell-bottom pants. My daughter-in-law is indeed a little money lover, and she even remembered the style of gold necklace hanging around her neck.
Awesome!
Cheng Xuemin sincerely exclaimed that women are really powerful, and then praised him and said: "Yes, yes, my wife, you have a very good memory, it's that necklace! That's how the salesperson at Lao Fengxiang sold it to me!"
"It's really that one!"
Feng Jiayou's eyes brightened even more when he heard this, and he said quickly: "Xuemin, hurry up, hurry up, bring it to me, bring it to me!"
"good!"
Cheng Xuemin took the gold necklace from the woman's hand, put it around the woman's back, and helped her carry it up.
"Does it look good? Does it look good?"
"Xuemin, tell me, does it look good when I wear it?"
As soon as Cheng Xuemin was brought here, the Feng family couldn't wait to stand in front of the glass mirror of the wardrobe, looking at themselves and admiring themselves.
"It looks so good! Wife, if you wear this gold necklace, you will be even more beautiful and charming, and you will be so delicate with just a snap of your fingers!"
It’s true that a man needs clothes just like a horse needs a saddle. If a woman hangs a gold necklace around her neck, her texture and charm will be enhanced.
"real?!"
The Feng family youngster glanced at Cheng Xuemin in the mirror, then looked left and right, no matter how he looked at it, he looked good.
"I'll go show it to my mother and sister-in-law!"
Appreciating narcissism by himself was not enough. After saying this, Feng Jiayou walked out directly. He couldn't wait to go to her mother and sister-in-law to show off her manhood and buy her a gold necklace!
The screams of the women in the main room were inevitably heard from behind, especially the sister-in-law Feng Jiamo, who seemed to be rushing to take it with their hands!
But she definitely can't grab it. Anyway, when her sister comes back, her face will be red, so don't be too proud.
Later in the evening, Cheng Xuemin made her sister's face flush even more!
The couple was too lazy to take a nap the next day. It was already past eleven o'clock, and Cheng Xuemin got up to make lunch for the whole family.
The following Sunday, the whole family, including the two younger ones, went out to clean the new house.
The Feng family is looking forward to it the most and wants to know what big surprise is waiting for her!
