Chapter 206 It’s Difficult
Gu Siqing settled the payment for "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" again. This time the amount was not as much as last time, but it was not a small amount either, more than 40,000 yuan.
The publishing house said that next time there might be less sales, and sales might be stable in two months.
Gu Siqing is very satisfied with the current sales situation. The original target group was a niche group, and now the revenue has reached 100,000, which is really good.
"Whose Youth Is Not Reckless" is still being serialized. The magazine company said that the effect is very good and their magazine sales have increased because of this novel.
This novel also received a lot of letters from readers. This time, Gu Siqing asked them to send the letters to her home. She would read these letters when she had time.
In these letters, many readers said that they had also encountered or witnessed the kind of school bullying that the story begins with.
Many parents do not care about school bullying, but when tragedy occurs, no amount of regret can solve the problem.
The opening chapter of "Whose Youth Is Not Reckless" is about school bullying. Gu Siqing meticulously describes the psychology of the bullied and the consequences of bullying. This resonated well with readers, leading many to write to discuss bullying incidents.
Gu Siqing felt a little heavy as she read these letters. In her previous life, school bullying had caused many tragedies before it was taken seriously by society and relevant departments.
In this life, it would be fine if she didn't receive these letters, but she couldn't ignore them. Holding the letters, she told Han Zhengping, "I want to write a letter to the relevant authorities about school bullying."
Han Zhengping took the letters and read them, then said, "Write if you want, but they may not take it seriously."
“I feel at peace when I write.”
Gu Siqing understood that she was just a junior high school student. Although she had published a book, it was not very well-known, and her letter would not attract the attention of some people.
"I'll discuss it with my dad and second sister and give the letter to Jun Ge's father. This is all I can do." Gu Siqing sighed.
This kind of social event cannot be changed by one or two people in a short period of time.
"Okay, I support you." Han Zhengping said.
After the two of them discussed it, Gu Siqing began writing a letter. She wrote it as the author, Nian Dou Bao, and also picked up a few letters from readers, planning to submit them together when the time came.
Then she told her family about this, because Gu Sanjing had experienced bullying. Although Gu Sanjing fought back at that time, what if she hadn't fought back? I wonder what would have happened.
Therefore, Gu Jianguo and the others agreed to let Gu Siqing do this. Then Gu Siqing gave Gu Jianguo the letter she wrote and the letters from readers.
The next day, Gu Jianguo rode his bicycle to the government office compound, registered at the gate and went in. He did not see Zhang Jingtong and gave the letter to his secretary Li Yan.
Li Yan touched the thick letter, smiled and sent Gu Jianguo to the door, then gave the big envelope to Zhang Jingtong.
Zhang Jingtong was slightly stunned when he saw that the letter was from the Gu family's youngest daughter. He opened the large envelope and saw several letters inside. He took out Gu Siqing's letter and opened it to read it carefully. The more he read, the more solemn his expression became.
After reading Gu Siqing's letter, he read the letters from other readers. Then he leaned back in his chair and thought...
He had never paid attention to issues like school bullying before. The country's education had been delayed for many years, and now it is vigorously restoring and reforming education, but no attention has been paid to issues like school bullying.
As an official, he could think of more than just what was written in Gu Siqing's letter. He thought more and more deeply.
But even if he is in charge of one area, he cannot solve this social problem. This requires the attention of the entire society.
After thinking for a while, he called Li Yan over and instructed, "Coordinate with the Huaguo Daily and have them publish this letter in the newspaper."
He handed Gu Siqing's letter to Li Yan and said, "Ask the director of the Education Bureau to see me tomorrow."
A week later, Gu Siqing's letter was published on the front page of the Huaguo Daily, with relevant comments from the newspaper editor below, which immediately attracted the attention of many people in society.
At the same time, the author "Nian Dou Bao" was also remembered by more people. Even the magazine that published "Whose Youth Is Not Reckless" increased its sales significantly, and the sales of "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" also increased a lot.
It's really an unintentional act that willow trees grow into a shade!
In Lizhou, the Minister of Education, after talking with Zhang Jingtong, also realized the impact of bullying on young students and began to take a series of measures.
"Don't worry about how big the effect is, it does have some effect at least." Gu Siqing said while sitting on the back seat of Han Zhengping's bicycle after school.
"Writer Gu, you're a celebrity now!" Han Zhengping joked with her. Gu Siqing looked around exaggeratedly, "Where is the celebrity? Where is he?"
Han Zhengping laughed and said, "Do you want a reward?"
Gu Siqing was puzzled: "What reward do you want?"
Han Zhengping: "The reward for becoming famous."
Gu Siqing curled her lips. She knew how to tease people. Why didn't you mention there was a reward? But she was thick-skinned and could do things that went back on her word. She said, "Of course, tell me what the reward is."
"In my pocket." Han Zhengping said with a smile.
Gu Siqing reached into his left shirt pocket, revealing a few White Rabbit candies. She peeled one and popped it into her mouth. "Let's try a different flavor next time."
"Are you satisfied with just a few candies?" Han Zhengping asked with a smile.
"Anything else?" Gu Siqing put her hand into his right pocket and took out a shiny hairpin.
"Where did you buy it? It looks so beautiful." Gu Siqing put the hairpin on her head and touched it again.
"As long as you like it."
"like."
He didn't say where he bought it, and Gu Siqing didn't ask. Anyway, this style of hairpin was not available in Lizhou.
It was November, and the weather was a bit chilly. But Gu Siqing sat in the back seat of the car, her hands tucked into his pockets, feeling warm.
"She said she wanted to come to Lizhou to see me." After walking for a while, Han Zhengping suddenly said.
She was referring to her biological mother. Gu Siqing didn't know how to respond. She also had to consider the thoughts of Han Deyi and his wife.
"I told her to talk to my parents," Han Zhengping said again. He just wanted to talk to Gu Siqing.
"It's a good thing you said. Let adults handle adult matters." Gu Siqing felt that this matter was really difficult to handle. Both giving birth and raising are favors. It would be fine if there was no contradiction between the two. If there was a contradiction, it would be really difficult to handle.
"My dad asked me if I wanted her to come." Han Zhengping said again.
Gu Siqing pouted when she heard this. "Isn't your dad trying to make things difficult for me? He can just make the decision himself."
Han Zhengping's smile widened when he heard her consider the issue from her own perspective. "My dad probably wants to know what I think about the future."
Gu Siqing peeled a candy, reached out her hand and put it in his mouth. She felt sorry for the young boy who had to face such a difficult problem at such a young age.
