"The Fun Treasure Box" became a hit.
How popular is it?
Someone came to Wei Jianguo's office and asked him if he had the book and whether he could give it to them.
"I really don't have that. The book didn't sell well when it was released, so the editor sold the sample copies that were originally intended for my wife."
"Hey, my son came home and pestered me for it, but my wife said the bookstores are out of stock now."
Wei Jianguo revealed some information, "The editor said that this book will be reprinted, and it should be a matter of the near future."
In this way, Wei Jianguo rejected several people throughout the day.
When they got home at night, the couple chatted in bed. Wei Jianguo was very proud, "Wife, you are amazing. Many people praised you and An An Le Le today, saying that we taught them well."
In fact, the praise for both children has increased since the last training session.
An An Le Le was the youngest among them, and many people thought they would leave crying.
Some people even made private bets on how long they could last.
As a result, the two children performed exceptionally well. Not only did they complete the training, they also achieved good results.
With the publication of this book, in the eyes of his uncles, An An Lele is a man of both civil and military talents.
Song Shuqian raised her head and kissed his chin, "Hubby, I hung a calligraphy in the study room, which reads: Pride brings harm, modesty brings benefit. Ever since you were promoted to deputy commander, the only voices surrounding us are praise.
Over time, it's easy to lose yourself.
This calligraphy is a reminder to us. "
Wei Jianguo touched her back and said, "You are really thoughtful."
At this moment, Wei Jianguo was satisfied. It was great to have someone who cared about him wholeheartedly.
A few days later, Song Shuxi met with Editor-in-Chief Zhou to discuss matters related to the second part.
Editor-in-Chief Zhou means to strike while the iron is hot, write this year and publish next year.
Song Shuqian also agreed. She still had many questions in her notebook, and Yueyue and Yangyang were at an age when they were very curious, which was enough for her to write another book.
It just so happens that the children have been very interested in learning recently, so I think they will be very willing to cooperate.
This time, the publishing house increased her basic remuneration to 6 yuan per thousand words.
Although it wasn't a lot, Song Shuxi was very satisfied.
Publishing a book was something she had never dared to think about in her previous life.
After the two separated, Song Shuqian strolled alone on the Bund.
Feel the moist breath brought by the river breeze, watch the few ships occasionally passing by on the Huangpu River in the distance, listen to the whistle sounds echoing on the river, and watch the international buildings standing quietly on the shore.
Through them, I seem to see the former glory of this place.
The more I understand, the more I like it.
After living in Shanghai for more than half a year, Song Shuqian gradually fell in love with this city. Although I don’t know how long I will live here in the future, the present is the best.
After walking around, we finally went to the kids' favorite pastry shop and bought them some cream cakes.
Once you become a mother, it becomes instinctive to care about your children.

The year 1977 passed by as if by pressing the fast-forward button.
Before Song Shuqian noticed, it was already October.
A broadcast broke the tranquility of the family compound.
"Dear listeners, I have an important message for you.
With the approval of XXX, the Ministry of Education has decided to resume the college entrance examination system starting this year.
All workers, farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside or returned to the city, demobilized soldiers and recent graduates who meet the requirements can apply for the exam. The qualifications of candidates will no longer be limited based on political performance and family background. Instead, the method of voluntary registration, unified examination and admission based on merit will be adopted. "
This broadcast was repeated three times.
Although she knew it a long time ago, Song Shuxi was still very excited, although she didn't know what she was excited about.
The college entrance examination, which has been suspended for eleven years, will reopen its doors.
For a moment, the family compound was filled with jubilation.
The news is being spread everywhere.
When An An Lele heard the news and ran back, Song Shuqian was in a daze.
The two threw themselves into their mother's arms, "Mom, many aunts outside are saying that the college entrance examination has been resumed. Why are they so happy?"
Song Shuqian rubbed her two sons' heads.
“You are now in elementary school, then middle school, and then high school. In the past, after graduating from high school, most people could only work.
But in fact, there is still a university after graduating from high school.
Do you remember that we visited two universities together in Beijing? At that time, we said that we would find a way to let you study there in the future.
There is also the Hubin University that you often go to. It is the best university in Shanghai. "
An An Le Le still didn't understand and called out in confusion, "Mom?"
Song Shuqian then realized what she had said nonsense and she was too excited.
"The resumption of the college entrance examination means that everyone can realize their dreams through their own efforts and knowledge. In the past, people were recommended to go to university, and those who were recommended were generally from families with good backgrounds.
Many people didn't even graduate from elementary school. "
Speaking of this, Song Shuqian felt a little contemptuous.
Ever since An An Lele grew up, he seldom snuggles in his mother's arms like he did when he was a child.
They were excited just now, and now that they realized what was going on, they both felt a little embarrassed.
His face turned red.
Song Shuxi didn't care and rubbed their little heads for a while.
Sometimes she herself feels deeply about the changes that being a mother has brought to her.
The two children ran back with sweat all over their heads, but she didn't seem disgusted at all.
Tiantian also ran over to find Song Shuqian.
But she knew that resuming the college entrance examination was only the first step, and there was reform and opening up, and that small fishing village behind it.
Although she couldn't remember the exact time, there were only a few major milestones, so she just needed to read the newspaper more often.
Tiantian hugged Song Shuqian and said, "Sister, our good days are finally here. It has not been easy, from 1968 to now, a full ten years."
“I’m also looking forward to the days ahead.”
Wei Jianguo came back in the evening and was also talking about this.
"Honey, are there any of you soldiers taking the college entrance exam?"
“There will be places for training and further studies, but no one will take the college entrance examination.”
In the room, Wei Jianguo asked, "Wife, do you want to take the college entrance examination?"
Song Shuqian was surprised, "Me? How could you have such an idea? I'm already so old.
I am very happy because An An Le Le will have another opportunity to realize her dream. "
"Think about it now, do you want to take the college entrance exam? If you take the exam, you will definitely be admitted."
Song Shuqian was really lost in thought.
She needs to think carefully about the pros and cons of this matter.
