Chapter 184 Xuemin, "My Years in the Corps", give it to us (please order the full version)
When the mother-in-law Feng Mu said this, the daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou looked at her man again, of course she also had small money in her eyes.
She originally wanted to support her man's career, so it didn't matter whether she got royalties or not, as long as her man was happy, even if she was paid for nothing.
Unexpectedly!
Her husband's published manuscript is still available on her mother's website.
Don’t tell me about reprinting!
If possible, the manuscript fee can be calculated based on the first release, which is calculated at seven yuan per thousand words, which is a lot of money.
Because Feng Jiayou knew that her man's "My Years in the Corps" was a long novel with more than 300,000 words.
For more than 300,000 words, seven yuan per thousand words is more than 2,000 yuan.
At that time, her husband told "Today" that he would not receive any royalties for prostitution. It was impossible for Feng Jiayou, who was obsessed with money, not to feel distressed.
However, I feel distressed because my husband's career must be supported unconditionally. To be a good housewife, you must have this awareness.
But I didn’t expect it!
There is such a good thing waiting for them. The young Feng family must have 10,000 hopes in their hearts, and her husband and old man immediately agreed.
"Mom! I have to discuss this with Lao Chen later!"
"Although our "Today" magazine is a grassroots group, when the article is published here, we should at least ask for Lao Chen's opinion!"
Cheng Xuemin was also shocked after hearing what his mother-in-law said. He also saw his daughter-in-law winking at him, and Cheng Xuemin pretended not to notice.
However, Cheng Xuemin also feels that whether it is reprinted by the mother-in-law's "October" or published first!
This is a good thing for Cheng Xuemin and "Today" magazine.
Still the same sentence!
"Today" magazine is just a start-up, a wild team, and does not receive any financial support from the above. The current situation is that it does not even have an idea of funding for the next issue.
So if I ask my mother-in-law to choose a few good articles to reprint or publish them in October, it can be regarded as a disguised form of making some money?
Originally, the magazines they sent out were not chargeable and were completely free for readers.
But if the published manuscript can be reprinted, the royalties can be used as funding for the magazine.
From the current point of view, it is just that Cheng Xuemin's "My Years in the Corps" has been spotted by his mother-in-law. Cheng Xuemin is definitely willing to reprint or publish it.
Of course, this willingness was not the one in the heart of his wife who kept winking at him.
Because even if it was granted to his mother-in-law in October, Cheng Xuemin had no intention of taking the royalties home.
Instead, they plan to keep it on the public account of their "Today" magazine and use it as operating and printing funds for the magazine's next issue.
After all, it is not a long-term solution for individuals to spend their own money to produce magazines without being able to sell them.
Since Cheng Xuemin gave the manuscript to "Today" anyway, he never thought about receiving royalties, so it is not bad to "support the society with manuscripts" and try to make the magazine "Today" go as far as possible.
After all, Cheng Xuemin really wants to run the magazine "Today" well and use it as his base camp after forming his own circle.
So life is a little harder now!
As long as we get through the previous few issues first, as long as we get through this year, perhaps by the end of this year, the national magazine and newspaper industry will be compiled and each will be responsible for its own profits and losses. This will be a life and death challenge for the old magazines and newspapers, but for them "Today", it will definitely is an opportunity.
No matter how bad the situation is, we must increase our influence so that we can become a regular army even if we are not formally incorporated.
Funding from other sources is also available.
"This is right. Let's ask Lao Chen what his opinion is first!" Feng's mother nodded after hearing this and did not ask her son-in-law to express his opinion on the spot.
"Mom, actually I have already written a manuscript, I will show it to you later!"
Cheng Xuemin has already written a manuscript for his mother-in-law. It is also a short story of more than 40,000 words.
Cheng Xuemin plans to write short stories for his mother-in-law.
Even if the number of words is more, it should be short.
Again, my mother-in-law's "October" is a monthly publication, which is not suitable for serializing large and medium-sized novels. It is better to give short stories that can be sold in one shot.
"Really?! Then look back and show me!"
This time, the mother-in-law was even more happy and satisfied. This time, the good son-in-law didn't ask her to rush her, so he obediently prepared the manuscript for her. It was pretty good.
"Xuemin, please eat more food! You usually have to take care of your children, help with homework and write manuscripts, and now you have been hired as a teacher by Yanda University. Look at you, you have lost weight!"
If the mother-in-law feels sorry for her son-in-law, there is nothing to say.
Are you thin?
Not only his daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou said that he had lost weight, but now even his mother-in-law noticed that he had lost weight?
Impossible!
Cheng Xuemin now found that he had begun to gain weight around his waist. He must have gained weight.
Of course, if I really lose weight, it’s not because I’m tired of writing.
They were all made thin by your daughter Feng Jiayou.
But although Cheng Xuemin has evidence, it is difficult to show it.
"Thank you, Mom! In fact, I'm not that thin. On the contrary, I feel a little fatter. Mom, the food you and your sisters-in-law cook is delicious!"
Even if she wears a lot of clothes and flatters her, as long as the mother-in-law is happy, the whole family will be happy and happy.
"Xuemin, you are right!"
"Then let's just let my mother's October count as the first issue. If we can get more than 400 in manuscript fees, then your funds for the next issue will also be secured!"
After dinner, Cheng Xuemin went back to his house and gave the manuscript to his mother-in-law in the front yard for a look, then went back to his house.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was already waiting here, Cheng Xuemin also told her what he was thinking.
"My Corps Years" can be reprinted by her mother, but she may not be able to get the royalties back to her small coffers. I talked about the funding situation of their "Today" magazine.
His wife was quite reasonable and nodded her head to show her support.
In order to raise more funds for her man, she did not hesitate to 'cheat' her mother's "October" and let her mother's "October" reprint it as the first release.
The initial issue costs seven yuan for a thousand words, while the reprint costs only four yuan for a thousand words. The difference is three yuan, and the price difference for one issue is more than one hundred yuan.
"Thank you, wife, for your understanding and support!"
Cheng Xuemin kissed the woman's dimple and smiled.
"Hey, old man, are you... dirty..." Faced with the sudden attack by his old man, the young Feng family pretended to be very disgusted and wiped the saliva on his face.
Why, how long has it been since you started to dislike it?
On the spot, Cheng Xuemin didn't care, he just grabbed the woman's little head and kissed her fiercely.
Feng Jiayou was extremely shocked and dumbfounded on the spot, and wanted to struggle away, but soon his body became too sincere and his reaction became overwhelming.
Not enough is enough for the students, it’s just fun!
The Feng family was so angry that they threw away the pillow and told him to sleep on the nanmu bed outside instead of her heated ondol.
this……
Usually it is not always the woman who tells her to stop, and she should not be too rough and touch the son in her belly.
Why did Cheng Xuemin stop sleeping on his own initiative today, but it was his fault and he had to sleep in separate beds?
Women, women, what a double standard!
If you sleep in separate beds, you can sleep in separate beds. Can a woman be too spoiled to you?
“Old man, I’m cold!”
But when Cheng Xuemin was speechless, the cold quilt on his side had just warmed up, and the woman on the heating bed inside, who was still awake, actually told him that he was cold.
How is this possible?
Before going to bed every day, Cheng Xuemin would heat up the kang and keep it warm.
How could it be cold?
Could it be that the woman caught the cold and got sick?
The woman said she was cold, and Cheng Xuemin was so frightened that he hurried over and asked: "Daughter-in-law, is this kang hot? Why are you cold?! Where are you cold?! Don't you have a cold?"
After saying that, he nervously touched the woman's forehead. "Hehe, I just feel cold. I feel like it's cold without the old man around!"
But before Cheng Xuemin could tell her that her forehead wasn't hot, she was hugged tightly by this girl and acted like a baby.
OK!
Feng Jiayou, you are almost a mother, and you are still so naughty!
…
"Xuemin, are you nervous?"
When they woke up early in the morning, Feng Jiayou started picking up things for Cheng Xuemin, and said with a blush on her cheeks, "Today is your first public class since you were specially hired!"
"I heard that not only all the teachers and students in our department will attend the lectures, but also students and teachers from other departments will also attend!"
Knowing this situation, not to mention the old man himself, even Feng Jiayou, the daughter-in-law, should not be too nervous.
"Daughter-in-law, I think you are the one who is nervous, right?"
Cheng Xuemin smiled and teased his daughter-in-law.
"How can I be?! How can I be nervous? What should I be nervous about?"
The Feng family gave Cheng Xuemin a charming look and pretended to be relaxed and indifferent.
"Yeah?"
"Then you fastened my button wrongly and then fastened it wrongly. Is it still wrongly fastened now?"
The woman prepared a Chinese tunic suit for Cheng Xuemin, but when she helped him button the buttons, she tied them incorrectly over and over again. She still said she wasn't nervous?
"Hey, did you tie it wrong again? Xuemin, why didn't you remind me earlier?"
Feng Jiayou's little nervousness was discovered by his man, and he became very angry on the spot and blamed Qi Cheng Xuemin for not warning him earlier.
"Brother-in-law, your class is the first class this afternoon, right?"
As soon as he finished cleaning up here, his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo asked him a question.
"Yes! Your brother-in-law's class is the first period in the afternoon. What's wrong? Why do you ask, Feng Jiamo?"
Feng Jiayou, who followed out, asked her sister.
"Of course I'm going to attend the class in the afternoon!" Feng Jiamo said matter-of-factly.
"What classes did you, a high school student, attend in the past? You don't have to attend class in the afternoon?"
Feng Jiayou directly criticized her girl, saying that her man's first open class was already lively and overcrowded.
At the end of the Feng family, she, a high school student, couldn't join in the fun.
"Uh... that's right! Sister, I'll just ask, I'll just ask!"
Feng Jiamo also reacted, put away her cunning eyes, and quickly shook his head and said.
"Second sister-in-law, sister, my brother is giving a public class in the afternoon, how about you guys go over and listen to the class too?"
"I've never seen Brother Er giving a lecture in class, what does it look like!"
Cousin Qin Xiaolian listened to the conversation between the two younger sisters of the Feng family and followed the advice of second sister-in-law Sun Juan and cousin Cheng Wenxiu.
"Xuemin has a class, what's there to listen to?!" Old sister Cheng Wenxiu said indifferently after hearing it.
"That sounds great!" Qin Xiaolian said secretly, "Sister, I heard from my parents that there are many students in their school, but they rarely attend Brother Er's class!"
"Don't listen to what my family just said about not going or not going. She told me last night that they were going to skip school even if they were going to listen!"
Very good, good sisters!
The whispers we just made under the covers last night were sold out early this morning.
Cheng Xuemin, unaware of his cousin's whispers, went to the front yard to have breakfast.
"Xuemin, I've read yesterday's manuscript, and it's getting better and better!"
The mother-in-law is getting more and more proud of her son-in-law. She read the manuscript last night and gave her son-in-law feedback as soon as possible this morning.
Then he said, "Xuemin, please mention it to Lao Chen as soon as possible. I will also send the manuscript to Lao Liu for review first and let him choose one."
Another choice between two!
If possible, mother-in-law Feng Mu would certainly like to use all these two manuscripts.
Let Lao Liu also create a column for her son-in-law.
Before, her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin was a newcomer and was not qualified to write a special column, but now!
On the other hand, Feng’s mother no longer pretended to be a good person, and she did not avoid relatives when promoting talents. She felt that if possible, she would publish both articles in this issue, and there would be no need to choose one from the other.
The two manuscripts are both more than 60,000 words long. Together they are exactly the number of words published in their "October" issue, which is just right.
"Okay Mom, I'll go to the library later and tell Lao Chen about this!"
Cheng Xuemin was polite to his mother-in-law, and after breakfast he went back to the backyard to give his second sister-in-law and the others their homework for the day.
Then he drove Feng Jiayou to Yanda to attend classes.
After placing the woman downstairs in her classroom, Cheng Xuemin went directly to the faculty building.
After Cheng Xuemin was specially hired, although he was not required to go to the office on time to check in, he still stopped by to show his face every day when he sent Feng Jiayou there.
"Good morning, Mr. Xie, good morning, Teacher Dong, good morning, Teacher Cheng..."
Entering the office, Cheng Xuemin greeted the teachers and professors who had already arrived.
"Good morning to you too, Teacher Xiao Cheng!"
Old Professor Xie Mian and the others also nodded and responded politely.
"Xuemin, do you know? Your class may explode!"
Cheng Yuzhu, the head teacher of the Chinese Department, came close to Cheng Xuemin and didn't shout too loudly.
"Indeed, Teacher Xiao Cheng, I heard that not only our Yan University, but also Huaqing next door, many students heard about it and came over to listen to your class!"
The old professor Xie Mian also nodded and joked with Cheng Xuemin with a smile.
“Mr.
"What's more important is that "My Corps Years" that you just wrote, Xuemin, really touched the hearts of those students!"
"That's why everyone has heard the news and wants to come and listen to your lecture!"
Teacher Dong next to him also followed suit.
"Yes, Xuemin! You also wrote "My Years in the Corps"? Why did you post it on "Today"?! I've never heard of it before!"
"Such a good manuscript is a bit wasted!"
"Now I'm so anxious that those students have to commit suicide in person to urge me to update in person!"
Cheng Yuzhu also teased Cheng Xuemin.
Hearing what they said, Cheng Xuemin was dumbfounded on the spot. It was just an open class, so it wouldn't cause such a big fuss, right?
Even the students from Huaqing next door and the Nortel University were alerted and wanted to come over to attend the class?
And there is a good chance that Cheng Xuemin will be handed a pen in front of him to urge him to write and update the content behind "My Corps Years" as soon as possible.
It was Cheng Xuemin who broke the hook, which was too cruel.
But it’s not okay if you’re not ruthless.
It's not cruel. With the update period of their "Today" lasting three to four months, readers have already forgotten the previous content and ran away.
So Lao Cheng and the others gave Cheng Xuemin a reminder that they needed to prepare for the open class in the afternoon.
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
