I took the package home and opened it. I found that in addition to the royalties and the two newspapers that had Zhao Di published their article, there were actually dozens of letters!

The manuscript fee was a full two hundred yuan. Li Xia thought that she would have to wait until she received the manuscript fee next time before she could calculate the new fee. Unexpectedly, the first time was also calculated at ten yuan per thousand words.

Qiao Ran wrote in the letter that these letters were sent to Li Xia by readers. They didn't know Li Xia's real address, so they sent them all to their newspaper office. Qiao Ran didn't know whether Li Xia wanted to read these readers' letters, so she sent them first. If Li Xia didn't want to receive these letters in the future, she would not send them next time.

Li Xia certainly wanted to read these readers' letters. She was especially moved when she saw so many letters expressing their thoughts after reading the story of "Zhao Di".

These letters are sent by both female and male readers.

In a letter, a girl wrote that she was also Zhaodi in the family. She had an older sister and she was the second child in the family. Her mother gave birth to a younger brother as she wished five years ago, and the whole family’s thoughts were on her younger brother.

The eldest sister got married, and when her mother gave birth to her younger brother, she wanted her to drop out of school and stay at home to take care of him. She didn't want to, so she bought a bottle of pesticide and took it home, telling her family that if anyone didn't let her go to school, she would drink the pesticide. Her family was scared, so they didn't force her to drop out of school.

Now she is a freshman in high school. Although she cannot take the college entrance examination now, she will try her best to get admitted to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

The next letter was from a male reader. He expressed his sympathy for Zhaodi and thought that the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was very bad. The Chairman said that women can hold up half the sky and a person's value should not be determined by gender. He said that when he gets married in the future, he wants to have a daughter, because a daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket for her parents.

And many more...

Li Xia looked at them one by one, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

It can be seen from these letters that her articles are very useful, and she also understands more clearly why Mr. Lu Xun gave up medicine to pursue literature. Sometimes a pen can save a person and start saving him from the ideological level.

When Gu Weicheng came back, he saw Li Xia sitting in front of the window reading a letter.

He walked over and asked, "Who sent it? Why are there so many letters?"

"All of them were sent to the newspaper by readers, and Editor Qiao helped to send them here." Li Xia turned around and said to Gu Weicheng, "Weicheng, isn't there an empty room in our house? I want to use that room to store these letters. I want Editor Qiao to send all the readers' letters here in the future. I want to save them all."

"Of course, I will remodel the room tomorrow. These letters must not be exposed to moisture. I will spread a layer of straw and cotton on the ground to ensure that they will not get damp." Gu Weicheng agreed immediately.

Seeing Gu Weicheng so serious, Li Xia's smile widened.

She stood up and walked to Gu Weicheng's side, put her hands on Gu Weicheng's neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth: "Weicheng, you are so nice."

He always supports her like this, and he will never spoil her fun no matter what she wants to do.

Only after getting married can you understand how happy it is to have a partner who does not spoil your fun.

Li Xia's kiss made Gu Weicheng stunned for a moment, and then he felt dry mouth and tongue. They slept in the same bed every day and did that frequently, but the strange thing was that Gu Weicheng was always fascinated by Li Xia's body. She was full of attraction to him.

Just a light kiss like that made him excited.

Gu Weicheng put one hand around Li Xia's waist and the other hand behind her head.

He lowered his head and deepened the kiss...

Just then, An An came in with his schoolbag on his back. He couldn't see clearly from his angle, so he asked, "Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"

The childish voice made Li Xia take two steps back, and she quickly separated herself from Gu Weicheng, and said to An An, "It's okay, something got into mom's eye just now, let dad help mom blow it out. An An, you're back, how did you do on the test today?"

Gu Weicheng also said somewhat awkwardly: "Yeah, Dad is blowing Mom's eyes."

Dad and Mom said the same thing, so An An didn't think much about it. He put down his schoolbag and said, "The teacher said that the final exam will be in a week, and after the exam we will have winter vacation."

When the teacher said the final exams were approaching, most students were happy about the winter break, but at the same time they were worried about getting scolded if they didn't do well on the exams.

An An, on the other hand, was not worried about the exam at all. He had a very good study method and could learn things quickly.

Usually, after finishing his homework, he has to tutor Ma Aidan to do his homework again. It seems that he is helping Ma Aidan, but in fact, this is also a process of his own review.

Over time, he built a solid foundation and was able to handle exams with ease.

In just over half a month, it will be the Chinese New Year.

The family of the head of the group next door, Ma, has already applied for a family leave and will go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year this year. Mrs. Tao has already started preparing things for her family. She bought a lot of new cotton at the market before the New Year and made two new cotton-padded clothes for the elderly at home.

Li Xia saw that the cotton was very good and was all new cotton this year, so she also bought a lot.

She originally wanted to buy some duck or goose down to make down jackets, which are warmer than cotton coats.

But she had no connections, and she had to disinfect the duck down herself. Cotton was clean and warm, so she just made cotton clothes.

The weather was getting cold, and the nest that Gu Weicheng had made for Ji Feng was too cold to sleep in. So Li Xia made a new nest for Ji Feng. She first sewed it with a piece of cloth, left a hole, stuffed it with plenty of cotton, and then sewed the buttons on it. It was very comfortable and soft to sleep in.

Jifeng obviously likes this new nest very much. He no longer sleeps in Anan's shoes and goes into his own little nest every night when it's time to go to bed.

After seeing it, Li Xia said to Gu Weicheng with some pride: "Weicheng, look, Ji Feng seems to like the nest I made for him more!"

Gu Weicheng looked at Li Xia with a look of "Look how great I am" on her face and thought she was so adorable.

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her face: "Well, it's because my wife's cooking skills are so good. I can't compare to her."

"Hmph, as long as you know it!" Li Xia raised his chin, becoming even more proud.

Ji Feng watched the two of them bickering, then lay down in the soft and warm cotton nest and changed into a comfortable position.

There is a silk banner hanging above the nest, which was specially given to Jifeng by a person in the town last month. Last month, Jifeng and several children caught a thief.

Not only Ji Feng received a banner, but An An, Ma Aidang and Jiang Xiaohao also received rewards, which were specially given to them by the school as "little heroes".

"Jifeng, we'll eat the noodles later. Add more meat sauce to your portion." Li Xia said.

When Jifeng heard this, he wagged his tail a few times.

Li Xia’s cooking skills are good. Ji Feng has eaten a lot since he came here and has become a lot fatter than when he first saw him at the military dog ​​training base.

Gu Weicheng felt a little jealous after hearing this. He felt that his status was not as good as Jifeng's. The amount of meat sauce he added to his noodles was not as much as Jifeng's!

"Jifeng, the New Year is coming soon. I will give you New Year's money during the New Year!" An An said to Jifeng excitedly.

This made Li Xia and Gu Weicheng laugh. Ji Feng was much older than An An, but An An was going to give Ji Feng New Year's money?

An An said seriously, "Yes, the dog trainer uncle said that the maximum lifespan of a dog of the Ji Feng breed is only ten to fourteen years old. Ji Feng is already twelve years old this year. I don't want Ji Feng to grow one year older in the new year, so I want to give him New Year's money to lower his age, so that he can accompany us for many, many years."
