Chapter 181 Hua Qing also wants to recruit Cheng Xuemin. Is it true? (Requesting monthly votes)
There are several more mouths in the family. This time Cheng Xuemin and the others bought two large roast ducks, which surprised their elder sister Cheng Wenxiu and cousin Qin Xiaolian on the spot.
On the contrary, the second sister-in-law, Sun Juan, was not surprised by this. She knew that her sister-in-law and her husband must have received a lot of royalties today.
After all, her mother-in-law mentioned at the dinner table last night that her son-in-law should go to the People's Daily, so she must have asked him to come over to collect the manuscript fee.
Sister-in-laws have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
What's a little surprising is that her sister-in-law and her husband bought two roast ducks today, which alone cost 20 yuan!
There are also some meat and fish dishes. Thinking about being able to live under the same roof and eat at the same dining table with my sister-in-law and her husband, I can get a lot of glory.
Anyway, the food provided by their old Feng family before was definitely not so luxurious and comfortable.
"Okay, okay, let's take a duck leg each first, don't grab it or make a fuss!"
The two nephews and nieces who smelled the meaty smell came back and ran into the kitchen, taking Cheng Xuemin's nephew along with them.
This offended the Feng family, who was the master in the kitchen, and could only take one duck leg each, so he quickly sent them out first.
"Feng Liqin, don't run far away with your brothers!"
My niece's school and my nephew's kindergarten were all transferred to nearby schools.
The children were playing wildly again. Now they didn't even watch TV. When they got home, they threw down their schoolbags and ran outside.
The Feng family couldn't control it, so they could only shout an explanation from behind.
When Cheng Xuemin returned home, he went straight into his own backyard and continued writing his manuscript.
He thought that he should finish the manuscript about his mother-in-law as soon as possible and prepare it in advance so that he does not need to be urged by his mother-in-law. Then he would take the time to write the foreign language manuscript that he had not written much since he had just started writing because he returned to northern Shaanxi for the New Year and was delayed in the middle. .
Now that the New Year has passed, the foreign reporters and editors at the Foreign Guest House have also returned one after another.
Cheng Xuemin had been thinking about taking some time to visit the guest house for foreign guests, but he was delayed until the manuscript in his hand was finished.
"Old man, did I tell you, old man, you are the most charming when you are writing!"
I don't know when it was getting dark, so Cheng Xuemin put down his pen. He was startled when Feng Jiayou next to him suddenly said this, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, why are you so silent?" , scared me to death!”
"Old man, it's time to eat! I'm waiting for you!"
Feng Jiayou greeted Cheng Xuemin at the door and said.
"Have you told mom yet?"
Seeing his daughter-in-law's expression, Cheng Xuemin packed up the manuscript papers on the table and asked.
"Not yet!"
"If I told you, it wasn't me who came to call you for dinner right now!"
"Jiamo will definitely rush over and call you!"
Feng Jiayou said to Cheng Xuemin playfully.
"Daughter-in-law, can you speak normally?! Just say what you usually say smoothly?"
I don't know when, my daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou would say a few words of northern Shaanxi dialect to him from time to time, which made Cheng Xuemin feel dumbfounded.
"Old man, are you saying that in a bad way?"
But Feng Jiayou raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily.
"It sounds good, sounds good, sounds good..."
If you can't afford to offend me, just don't offend me. Just do whatever you like!
"I have already told my mother that the Humanities Society wants to publish a book with you, Xuemin!"
"Mom also asked me how much royalties I got today!"
"I told you everything!"
Compared with being a specially appointed lecturer at Yanda University, other royalties are no longer worth discussing at the dinner table.
So while cooking in the front yard, her mother asked if she had gone to the People's Daily today, and Feng Jiayou told her honestly.
The main reason is that today I started to feast on fish and meat again, and I directly bought two large Yanjing roast ducks. Even the second sister-in-law can get used to it. How can Mother Feng not know what kind of virtue her daughter has?
That's just a casual question.
But she never expected that Feng's mother would be dumbfounded when her debt collector said, "It's not much, only 4,600 yuan."
He was even more shocked and subconsciously asked again, "How much?"
But it was still 4,600 yuan. Mother Feng really heard it right, but she was also shocked and completely dumbfounded by this royalties!
Four thousand six hundred dollars?
How did you suddenly get so much royalties?
Even if the People's Daily asked her son-in-law to come over and collect the fee bill today, it would still be the fee for reprinting the four articles of "Chankai Pioneer". How much could it be?
Five hundred to the sky!
Can a mother-in-law not know how much royalties her son-in-law received from being reprinted?
But why did 4,600 yuan suddenly pop up, which suddenly doubled ten times? Feng's mother couldn't even figure out where such a large amount of royalties came from! ?
Could it be that her good son-in-law went behind her back and wrote a novel?
But the manuscript fee of more than 4,600 yuan is not that much for a novella of more than 200,000 words!
The next step is to ask why there are so many?
The debt collector then said that today her good son-in-law went to the People's Daily, and after receiving more than 400 reprint fees from there, he went to the Humanities Society again!
The Humanities Society published a separate book on "Reforming Pioneers" for his son-in-law, and he also received a royalties of 700 to 800 yuan.
But in total, it's still far from 4,600 yuan.
She also said that this time she went to the Humanities Society not specifically to collect the royalties for the single volume of "Chankai Pioneer", but that her good son-in-law drew three volumes of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" comic book during the Chinese New Year.
There were a total of one hundred and eighty-six miniature paintings, each costing eight yuan. The total royalties were more than one thousand four hundred. I asked for the royalties on the same day and brought them back!
When Feng’s mother heard this, she thought, no wonder!
While her good son-in-law was creating and writing manuscripts, he would draw some little figures to change his mind and look for inspiration. Mother Feng, who was the mother-in-law, knew this. But what she didn't know was that her son-in-law's hobby of brain-changing was actually so awesome.
During the Chinese New Year, he drew a few volumes of short-form novels and received royalties of more than 1,400 yuan, which was comparable to the royalties from his main business of writing manuscripts.
While I was horrified, I also thought about it again and it still felt wrong!
This adds up to more than 2,700 yuan, which is not even 3,000 yuan, and still cannot match the 4,600 yuan.
Finally, the debt collectors of the family revealed that the novella "Parental Love" they had given to "People's Literature" was going to be published by the Humanities Society for her son-in-law!
The manuscript fee is also seven yuan for one thousand words, which is eighteen or nine hundred yuan. The manuscript fee was also settled today and brought back together!
Is "Parental Love" going to be published as a book?
The first reaction was that Feng’s mother was very complicated. Even now she can’t tell whether her good son-in-law was modeled after her in the movie “Parental Love”.
Anyway, people in her workplace and in the cultural circles of her peers are now saying that she, Gu Xueqing, has recruited a good son-in-law and can actually write her as a mother-in-law so well.
Anyway, they were all jealous and praising her as a good son-in-law.
After the Feng family had informed Cheng Xuemin, the two of them went to the front yard to eat. When their mother-in-law, Feng Mu, looked at him, she looked strange!
There is no way, the son-in-law is too good!
"Brother-in-law, I heard from my sister that you received more than 4,000 yuan in royalties today?"
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo, who was still quick-talking, took the lead in questioning Cheng Xuemin's soul. Instantly, the unaware elder brother and sister-in-law were shocked and horrified.
Even the second sister-in-law, who had guessed a little bit, was also shocked and confused, because she guessed that her sister-in-law Feng Jiayou and his wife must have received a lot of royalties today, otherwise they would not have been so bold and directly bought two big ones. Roast Duck.
But no matter how I guess, I don’t dare to guess, there will be more than 4,000 royalties!
I was even more shocked. Did the couple really make money writing articles and manuscripts like this?
The second sister-in-law also tried to write some manuscripts by herself, and also tried to secretly send them out for submission, but they were all rejected, rejected, rejected, and rejected again!
Writing a manuscript is really not that easy!
Writing a manuscript is really, really difficult!
Except for her sister-in-law, a man who writes sharply, no one around her has published a single article.
Even for her parents-in-law, she had been married for seven or eight years. Before she was defeated, she had never seen her parents-in-law write manuscripts as well as their son-in-law!
Moreover!
The royalties for writing manuscripts are usually more than ten yuan or dozens of yuan, rarely hundreds of yuan, and none of them even have hundreds of yuan.
But her sister-in-law and her husband were simply unbelievable here!
From the beginning, my sister-in-law and her husband were already very unusual. The first royalties she got back were one or two hundred yuan.
Not to mention the increasing number of times, the royalties brought back each time were also increasing.
The next few hundred yuan will be less, and the rest will be one or two thousand.
The most exaggerated thing today!
It was more than four thousand, and the second sister-in-law and others thought that their ears were really broken and they heard wrongly.
"How much?! Xuemin, you got more than 4,000 yuan in royalties today?"
The Feng family was shocked. Cheng Xuemin and his elder sister Cheng Wenxiu were even more shocked.
Although the elder sister knew that her bratty brother wrote manuscripts, she did earn some royalties. The money she sent to the family for mailing alone amounted to 1,500 yuan.
I have also been hearing from her brother's sister-in-law Feng Jiamo that her brother-in-law helped her sister and earned a lot of royalties.
This large courtyard alone cost more than 5,500 yuan, which was bought with the royalties earned by her brother-in-law from writing manuscripts.
Therefore, the elder sister Cheng Wenxiu also knows that her brother has indeed made a lot of money from writing manuscripts, but she also knows that it is a small sum that adds up. After writing one manuscript after another, the royalties are all saved!
But who would have known that after hearing this sister-in-law’s bluster today, I was deceived on the spot!
Today, I received more than 4,000 in royalties. Is it true?
"Brother, it turns out you make so much money writing manuscripts?"
Cousin Qin Xiaolian also followed, looking at Cheng Xuemin with a shocked face, and asked in horror.
"You talk a lot, even a roast duck can't stop you, right?"
"When did I tell you that your brother-in-law received 4,600 yuan in royalties today?"
Feng Jiayou gave her sister a hard look. If you overheard it, you overheard it. Can't you ask the two of them privately?
He yelled like this at this dinner table, he must have done it on purpose! Although they are all members of my own family, it is not easy to show off like this!
"Is that true? Sister, brother-in-law, you received 4,600 yuan in royalties in just one day?"
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo exclaimed again that she was indeed eavesdropping and her mother did not tell her.
But I only heard a vague idea. Now that her sister confirmed it, a pair of eyes with "evil light" appeared, and she didn't know what evil thoughts she was thinking.
Inevitably, she has to pester her brother-in-law for pocket money again!
And it’s twice as much!
"Okay, okay, your sister is indeed right, your mouth is indeed too fast!"
Feng's mother also severely chopped up her little debt collector. In front of your eldest brother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and sister and cousin, why are you bringing this up?
"By the way, Xuemin, there may be a solution to the household registration problem!"
"Today, the school leaders of Huaqing called me and said that they are interested in recruiting you to go to their university. They can help you get your hukou registration!"
"What do you think?"
Feng's mother suddenly mentioned this matter, which made the second sister-in-law, elder sister, cousin and others present were surprised and confused again!
Huaqing, want to recruit special students? You don’t even have to take the college entrance examination? The three women had nothing but envy, nothing but envy!
“Although you have an agreement with your parents, you will take the college entrance examination this year and strive to be admitted to Yanda University to accompany your parents to college!”
"But your dad and I still think that if you can enter college early, enter college early. Even if you are only half a year early, graduating a year early will actually be very beneficial to your future work arrangements and development!"
"The most important thing is that Huaqing and Yanda are on par with each other. They are both the top universities in our country!"
"You don't have to worry about not being the same school. In fact, Huaqing is right next door, and Yanda is not very far from where we live!"
"Finally, it's Xuemin's hukou issue. You keep putting it off like this. In fact, your dad and I feel bad about it. We just happened to take advantage of Huaqing's special move and lost our hukou!"
When Feng's mother saw that the debt collector in her family wanted to interrupt, she directly interrupted him. What kind of virtue does my debt collector have? I must ridicule myself a few words. Mom, didn’t you say that it must be Yan Da?
At this time, instead of talking to her about it, Feng's mother finished the conversation in one breath and let the couple decide on their own.
Anyway, she and Lao Feng both felt that the advantages of being specially recruited into Huaqing outweighed the disadvantages. Not only that the most realistic household registration could be obtained, but also one year of graduation time could be gained, which was an extra year at the beginning.
Of course, if their son-in-law has other ideas, he’ll have to talk about it separately!
As mother-in-law and father-in-law, they should not interfere too much in the future development of their daughter and son-in-law.
