I haven’t posted a single chapter for a long time, let’s chat with you all.

Logically, the third volume has ended, and there should be a summary and connection at the end of the volume, which will then lead to the fourth volume.

It connects the previous and the next, and this is how elementary school teachers teach.

However, the third volume ended too hastily, and many of the originally envisioned plots could not be written, and could only be touched upon. Also, due to the daily update schedule, the fourth volume had to be started quickly.

Of course I was a little unwilling at the beginning, after all, I put a lot of thought into designing the plot. But what was the situation at the time? To put it simply, I spent half of my time every day writing new things and half of my time revising old things.

At the craziest time, more than 30 chapters disappeared in one day, and I was overwhelmed by the changes.

Cowardly.

Another reason is that some readers have messaged me in the group or privately and said that they feel the main content of the third volume is somewhat disconnected from the theme of the whole book.

Although we all know that these things are inevitable in officialdom and that the theme of that era was also those things, the feeling when written down and read is different.

Just as everyone knows, life is not only about work, but also about life. However, the small amount of love content in the first volume still makes some readers feel bad.

Everyone lives a complicated life, so we hope to see purity more.

Anyway, for various reasons, the third volume was hastily concluded and the content of rural revitalization in the fourth volume was directly entered.

After explaining this, I should mention the achievements.

But there is not much to say about this. It is far from the expectation. Up to now, the average subscription is hovering around one thousand.

After learning that the total collections were less than 11,000, a reader consoled himself by saying that the collection-subscription ratio was still okay and the average subscription was not bad.

But that’s not how it’s calculated. The absolute value is so low that nothing else matters.

Now let’s just hope there can be a breakthrough in copyright.

It's just that the hope is quite slim.

A more practical goal is to keep a calm mind, tell this story well to everyone, and make a full portrayal of a small grain of sand in the great transformation of our country's rural areas.

Let’s talk about updates.

(Having said this, well, I’m already standing at attention, ready to be beaten)

Now I write chapters of about 5,000 words every day, one chapter a day.

The main reason is that the editor mentioned it before and said that he would give me two recommendations later so that I wouldn't finish updating all at once.

See, what a legitimate reason.

In fact, these are all excuses, and it’s actually because of laziness.

People, deep down, like to find an objective reason to explain their subjective mistakes in order to cover up their incompetence, laziness or other reasons.

The reason I say this is because I dropped from 8,000 words a day to 5,000 words a day, but I still haven't saved any manuscripts.

It's so bad that I can't bear to watch it.

So, take a day off tonight and reflect on yourself.

Just kidding.

But I did take a day off tonight because it’s my wife’s birthday.

Don’t ask which wife, just one.

We still need to pacify the backyard.

Finally, let’s talk about the plot.

When writing the fourth volume, the content about rural revitalization actually became a bit difficult to design the plot.

There are two main problems. One is that there is too much content in the topic of rural revitalization. When there are too many contents, it is easy to be disorganized when writing about them, and when there are disorganized contents, it is easy to be messy when reading about them.

The second most critical reason is that the book was opened too hastily at the beginning, the overall structure of the plot was not in place, and the content had to be spread out bit by bit before the thread was put together.

But as I write this, I’m slowly coming back to normal.

The following content will be slowly unfolded along a tight thread. Don't worry about the rhythm. After all, I'm an experienced author (crossed out) and a talented new author. I will still deal with these small problems.

Okay, let’s stop talking nonsense, the real key is to focus on the main text. Who has time to read a failed author muttering nonsense here, right!

Let’s take a break today and continue tomorrow!

Mumbling: Don’t raise it anymore. If it dies, I’ll cry for you.

Finally, let me emphasize again, please take a day off tonight!

mwah!
