Zhixue's miscarriage caused a small stir, but soon things calmed down.
Lin Xiaoman resumed his regular routine of studying and copying over his masterpieces. About a month later, in early December, he learned from Yao Jianfen's call that Li Xiaomei had already arranged for Zhixue to repeat her year, and that she would also be taking the college entrance exam this year.
Yao Jianfen was very happy that both of her daughters were going to take the college entrance examination, and she kept encouraging them.
After knowing that Zhixue had finished her college entrance examination, Lin Xiaoman made a special phone call to her and gave her a heartfelt talk about the importance of a diploma.
She has done everything she should do. As for whether she can bring the person back, that depends on Zhixue herself.
Within two days, Lin Xiaoman received a call from Editor-in-Chief Lu, who said that "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" had been serialized for three issues and the market response was very enthusiastic, so the leadership had officially approved its publication.
They agreed on a time, and on the third day, which was the weekend, Editor-in-Chief Lu rushed to Shengjiang City. The two met, and Lin Xiaoman gave him the subsequent manuscripts. They discussed the relevant specific content and then signed the contract.
December passed in the blink of an eye, and January was just as quick. At the end of January, the first volume of "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" was on sale. The first batch of 50,000 copies was printed and priced at 8.8 yuan.
As soon as the book was released, the market response was very enthusiastic. After reading the serials in the previous issues, many readers of "Gu Jin" could not wait for the serialization and bought the book directly. The first batch of 50,000 copies were sold out in less than seven days.
So, just print an additional 50,000 copies.
Every now and then, Editor-in-Chief Lu would call Lin Xiaoman to report the good news.
Although the money has not arrived yet, but after a quick calculation, it’s 8.8××8%=, and this is just the first part, which is 70,000!
Conclusion: Publishing is indeed profitable!
From then on, she was a rich person!
After January, the Chinese New Year soon arrived. Lin Xiaoman bought a lot of things and returned to the town with big and small bags.
After not seeing each other for nearly half a year, Yao Jianfen bought chickens, ducks and pork to welcome Lin Xiaoman back.
As soon as Lin Xiaoman returned to the town, she immediately caused a sensation. Many people in the town came to her with books and asked for her autograph, just like they were star-chasing.
The grand scene made Yao Jianfen so happy that she held her head high and walked with her chest puffed out, feeling extremely proud.
Her daughter is really successful, she even published a book!
Not long after Lin Xiaoman came back, on the 29th day of the lunar year, cars visited their small town again.
Zhixue came back by car with a lot of bags.
Zhixue's grand return to her "hometown" caused a sensation in the town again.
During this Chinese New Year period, the mother and her two daughters had a rare chance to get together.
However, when she saw Zhixue again, Lin Xiaoman was really sweating. According to her observation, this guy had become fatter.
Judging from his weight, it is definitely over 120 pounds.
Really, I have a double chin!
The original oval face has completely turned into a chubby face! The body is plump.
During this period, Li Xiaomei must have fed the animals a lot.
He enthusiastically pulled Zhixue aside to chat, and Lin Xiaoman quickly asked all the subtle questions.
The high school that Zhixue is repeating is in the provincial capital, and it is a day school. Li Xiaomei is really "good" to her. She eats all kinds of nutritious food in the morning, and the nanny brings her big fish and meat for lunch at noon. When she comes home in the evening, she eats all kinds of big fish and meat again, and there are also various rich midnight snacks at night. She eats so much that it would be strange if she doesn't gain weight!
Lin Xiaoman could only say cryptically, "Xiaoxue, you should pay attention to your weight, right?"
"Ah, I think it's good. Aunt Li said that studying is so hard that you need to nourish yourself well. Besides, I was too thin before, but I'm good like this now. Aunt Li said that I look blessed now and can bring good fortune to my husband and children..." Zhixue looked innocent and had no scheming at all.
Lin Xiaoman: Aunt Li, Aunt Li...
You idiot! What the hell!
Lin Xiaoman originally wanted to give a lecture on the importance of being slim, but her ally Yao Jianfen did not stand on her side.
Yao Jianfen actually thinks that Zhixue looks better now that she is chubby, and she looks like a blessed child!
Well, there is a generation gap between three years and people of different generations cannot have the same vision.
The older generation of aunts all like girls with a plump figure and good looks.
In fact, it is true. In an era of food and clothing shortages, when others are starving, being able to eat plump meat is a blessing!
The communication was fruitless and Lin Xiaoman was too lazy to say anything.
I spent the New Year with Yao Jianfen in the town. On the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, the driver came again in his car to pick up Zhixue to go to the provincial capital.
Lin Xiaoman naturally took a ride and returned to Shengjiang City.
Before the Chinese New Year, the money for the first and second batches of books, totaling more than 70,000 yuan, had arrived.
At present, another 50,000 copies have been printed, and this is only the first volume. In any case, the money is rolling in.
After returning to the city, Lin Xiaoman shifted his focus to the college entrance examination.
In April, the second volume of "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" was also published, and Lin Xiaoman was just making money without doing anything.
Lin Xiaoman: Hey, in another world, being a plagiarist can really make money!
Keeping up with the progress, at the end of April, Chief Editor Lu came again. Lin Xiaoman gave him "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Lu Xiaofeng" which he had written long ago. After working together for so long, they quickly reached an agreement.
After May, the college entrance examination came unknowingly.
On the 6th, Yao Jianfen rushed over from the town to cheer Lin Xiaoman up. As for Zhixue, Yao Jianfen, who was very confident in Li Xiaomei, called her and gave her various instructions on the phone.
