Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, An An Lele took his younger brothers and sisters out to pay New Year's greetings.
Still the same old rule, walk around the family compound.
The red envelopes here are usually 1 cent per family, and there is a different amount for those with good relationships.
Don’t think that one cent is not a lot, but there are many children. Nowadays, every family has four or five children.
People like Tiantian, who only have two children, are a minority among the minority.
It took Song Shuxi a whole day to fold these red envelopes, and that was with the help of An An and Lele.
Song Shuqian leaned against Wei Jianguo, waiting for the children to come.
"Are you sleepy?"
Seeing that his wife looked listless, Wei Jianguo wanted her to go back and have a rest.
The child had a lot of fun last night. After setting off firecrackers, he started to make a fuss about wanting to perform for his parents. After all the trouble, it was already one in the morning when I went to bed.
"I'm not going to sleep yet. It's just one day. It won't be good if the news gets out."
Song Shuqian forced herself to cheer up and deal with the children who came over.
She sighed that there were so many children in the family compound, it was so crowded that she ran around for the whole morning.
At this time, I felt that Wei Jianguo's cold face was particularly good. When he sat there, the children just went through the motions, greeted him and turned around and ran away.
It's like someone is chasing you.
At noon, An An Lele came back carrying a small bag. As soon as she entered the door, she sat on the chair and didn't move.
You can tell at first glance that he is extremely tired.
Song Shuqian walked over to the two children and sat down, "Are you tired?"
Lele leaned pitifully on her mother's shoulder and rubbed it, "Mom, it was Lele who was ignorant. She kept making a fuss about wanting a brother or sister.
I didn’t expect that my brothers and sisters who were so cute when they were young would become so noisy when they grew up. "
Song Shuqian held back her laughter.
This silly child still thinks that Song Shuxi gave birth to a second child because of the request of her two brothers.
"Are you disgusted with that? When you were a child, you were no more obedient than Yueyue and Yangyang.
However, there was one good thing about you when you were a child: you would do whatever An An did.
It saves my mother a lot of worry. "
Lele hit Song Shuxi's shoulder twice with his head, and shouted "Mom" in anger.
Song Shuxi...hahahahaha, grown-up children are also very fun to tease.
She reached out and touched An An's head, "Are you tired?"
"I'm tired, Mom. Yangyang has too many questions, many of which I can't answer. Yueyue is a loose-lipped person. If you don't hold her, she will run away.
As soon as I said a few auspicious words, she ran to someone else's door to play with the cat. "
Song Shuqian did not criticize the two younger ones. Children of this age are like this; that is their nature.
As the days passed, Song Shuxi had completely adapted to life in Shanghai.
It is more humid and warmer here than Cuiyuan City. After coming here, Song Shuxi's skin has become better.
She can also spend time designing clothes and matching hairstyles, which makes her very happy.
Another good thing is that the first book that Song Shuxi wrote with the children has been completed.
Mr. Meng introduced her to a very reliable editor who has published many good books in the past ten years.
This editor has a unique vision and is good at integrating various resources. Most importantly, he knows what book to publish and when.
If he chooses this book, the chances of it being passed down will greatly increase.
Song Shuxi had an appointment with him today.
After class, she came to the agreed place.
"Hello, Editor Zhou. I'm Song Shuqian."
"Hello, Teacher Song. I've long heard of you."
Both of them are very direct people, and since they are not familiar with each other, there is not much need for small talk.
The topic quickly turned to the manuscript.
Song Shuxi took out the outline and part of the content that she had prepared in advance.
Editor-in-Chief Zhou took it and was a little unimpressed at first. The more you look at it, the more serious it becomes.
The most difficult thing about this book is its ingenuity, as its content covers astronomy, geography, animals, plants, humanities, history and other aspects.
They are all from the perspective of children, and are questions they would actually ask.
In addition, the book is accompanied by various illustrations to explain the content, making it clear at a glance.
As I was flipping through it, it disappeared. Editor-in-Chief Zhou still feels a little unsatisfied.
"Did you write this book?" After asking, Editor-in-Chief Zhou realized that he had said the wrong thing.
“Sorry, I spoke too quickly, but this book really covers a very wide range of knowledge.
Each page is a separate story and is very readable. "
“It’s okay, I don’t care.
This book was written by me and several of my children. Most of the content in it are questions that my son actually asked when he was a child."
“No wonder I feel this book is very close to the way children think.”
Editor-in-Chief Zhou is very optimistic about this book, which has the same effect as "100,000 Whys".
But it is more interesting than that book, with a stronger story and richer colors.
Believe me, no child can escape.
When it comes to his own expertise, Editor-in-Chief Zhou is very decisive.
Before reading the following content, he had already started talking to Song Shuxi about the treatment that could be provided.
There are two ways, one is a one-time payment, and the other is basic payment + payment based on the number of copies printed.
Song Shuqian chose the second option without hesitation because she was confident in her book.
In recent years, in order to buy suitable reading materials for her children, Song Shuxi goes to Xinhua Bookstore first almost every time she arrives in a city.
Therefore, in terms of control over the market, Song Shuqian is no worse than Editor-in-Chief Zhou.
What's more, she has a cheat. Tiantian has revealed that the darkness will soon pass and dawn will soon come.
The future is colorful.
She believes that in the future, there will be many parents like her who want to buy books for their children.
In the end, Song Shuxi and Director Zhou agreed that the basic remuneration was 4 yuan per thousand words.
As for the remuneration for the number of copies printed, the first print run of 50,000 copies will be calculated based on 5% of the basic remuneration.
For a new author like Song Shuxi who has no works to her name, this price is very fair.
Even a little bit higher.
She was very satisfied.
Sign the contract and leave everything to time.
After separating from Chief Editor Zhou, Song Shuxi went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of seafood and meat, preparing to go home in the evening to cook and announce the good news.
This is the first time that they, mother and son, have collaborated on a book.
No matter what the sales situation is like in the future, this incident is of special significance to them.
At the dinner table, Song Shuxi took out the contract and showed it to everyone.
An An and Le Le's faces were flushed with excitement. Neither of them had expected that the book they helped write could actually be published.
Yueyue and Yangyang are young and don’t understand what publishing a book means, but their family is happy and they are happy too.
At night, the couple lay in bed, and Song Shuqian was still very excited. "Honey, I never thought that I could write a book and publish it.
This is such a pleasant surprise. "
Wei Jianguo looked at his excited wife in his arms. She had been able to keep her composure in front of the children just now, but now she was completely out of control in front of him.
Like a kid who got candy.
"My wife is awesome. When it's published, I'll buy a few copies to keep as a collection."
She used to have no reaction when someone praised herself, but now that someone else was praising her like this, Song Shuxi felt a little embarrassed.
