Chu Yao finally bought a house and was rushing the renovation progress when she was hit by a lamp tube. Upon opening her eyes, three little kids surrounded her calling her mother.

Chapter 34 Going Downtown (I)

One day, Chu Yao was at home playing with the babies when someone called out from outside the door, "Is this Comrade Chu Yao's home? Here are some letters from Comrade Chu Yao. Please come out and sign for them."

Chu Yao quickly opened the door and went out. She saw that the courier was indeed holding several letters in his hand. She thought that the letter from her hometown had arrived.

"Hello, comrade. I'm Chu Yao. Are all these letters from me?"

"Yes, these are all of them. Please sign for them. Please sign your name here, comrade."

Chu Yao took the signature form, signed it quickly and returned it to the postman.

"Thank you, comrade, for your trouble. Wait a minute, I'll get you a glass of water."

"Comrade Chu, that's okay. I'm in a hurry to get to the next store, so I won't bother you here. But thank you anyway, comrade." After saying that, the postman rode away on his bicycle.

Chu Yao turned around, walked in, closed the door, and walked towards the house.

The babies looked curiously at the paper-like object in their mother's hand, but did not make a fuss to see it.

"Hey babies, play by yourselves for a while. Mommy wants to read these letters."

The babies nodded obediently and started playing on the bed.

It turned out to be two letters from home and a letter submitted to the newspaper. Chu Yao put the submitted letters aside and read the letters from home first.

First came the letter from her husband's family, saying that everything was fine at home and asking Chu Yao and the others to take good care of themselves outside. They also said they were very happy to see their photos and would send more back in the future.

Finally, he told them not to send things back home, as everything was fine in their hometown and it was convenient for them to buy things. He asked Chu Yao and the others to save the money for other things. He also asked them if they wanted to go home for the New Year. If not, he would prepare some more things from home and send them to them.

The content of the letter from my parents' side is actually similar to that from my husband's side. Most of it is about taking care of yourself and not worrying about home.

He also announced the good news that his sister-in-law Zhao Jie had given birth to a son and named him Chu Ran. He also asked Chu Yao to send them so much money, saying that he was saving it for Chu Yao and would return it to her later. He also asked Chu Yao not to send money home anymore.

After reading the letter, Chu Yao felt warm in her heart. This was unexpected family love, which was indeed so heartwarming.

Chu Yao planned to wait for Yang Hang to come back and write a reply together.

Finally, I took out the envelope from the newspaper. It felt a bit thick, so I guess it was the reply and the manuscript fee sent together.

She opened the letter and began to read.

The newspaper that Chu Yao submitted her article to was called the Rising Sun Newspaper. They needed submissions with positive and uplifting content. This kind of article was easy to write for someone like Chu Yao, who had experienced an information explosion in her previous life.

The content of the letter was relatively simple, asking Chu Yao whether she could continue to contribute articles in the future. The remuneration could still be negotiated. As for the last manuscript fee, it was given according to the newspaper's highest standard, fifteen yuan per thousand words.

This was the salary level for a worker at that time, and a formal worker at that.

Chu Yao sent out a total of five articles, each of which was nearly two thousand words, and the royalties she received were one hundred and fifty yuan.

Therefore, Chu Yao's hard work in writing articles was of great use. At least the money could be used to buy several cans of better malted milk for the babies. Chu Yao felt that she could still work hard.

It can also be considered as accumulating capital, and there will be more places to spend money in the future.

After Chu Yao packed up the money, she began to write back to the newspaper. Chu Yao did not make any further requests for salary for the time being. She just told the newspaper that she would send an article once every two weeks. She also asked if the newspaper needed serialized novels, as she also planned to develop in the field of novels.

After writing the letter, Chu Yao put away the things on hand and started preparing dinner.

She planned to take some time to go to town and mail all the letters she had written.

In the blink of an eye, it was Erbao and Xiaobao's birthday. Today happened to be the weekend, so Yang Hang and Chu Yao decided to take the babies to the city first and then stay there for one night.

After breakfast, the family packed up and set off for the city. They first rode their bicycles to the town and left their bicycles with Lu Pengfei, and then went to the intersection to take the bus to the city.

Ten minutes passed...

Twenty minutes passed...

The babies couldn't stay in their parents' arms anymore and started clamoring to get down and play on the ground.

Yang Hang and Chu Yao's arms felt a little sore from holding the babies, so they had to put them on the ground, which was quite dusty.

I can only wait for the car to arrive before I can brush the dust off the babies.

Finally, as Chu Yao was eagerly waiting, a bus slowly drove over, and the two of them hurriedly brushed the dust off the babies.

When the bus approached, Chu Yao didn't want to get on. There were too many people, and they were squeezed like sardines in a can. But she couldn't get on, as she had been waiting here for almost half an hour.

In the end, I gritted my teeth and went for it.

They finally squeezed in, but there were no seats at all. Chu Yao and her friends couldn't hold the handrails with their babies in their arms. Just when they were at a loss, the ticket seller kindly gave up her seat to Chu Yao.

"Comrade, are you a family? It's not convenient to hold the child here. Comrade, please take my seat. There are many potholes along the way. It's dangerous for you to hold the child like this."

"Comrade, thank you so much." Chu Yao thanked the ticket seller, and then sat on the seat holding Erbao and Xiaobao. Yang Hang was stronger, so he held Dabao in one hand and protected Chu Yao and the babies with the other.
