Qin Ling squatted aside and helped to light the fire, looking very serious.
Qin Chuchu sat there obediently and watched them busying around, looking very cute.
After Lin Qiaoqiao finished making the last pancake, she closed the lid of the pot and heard the sound of a bicycle bell coming from outside.
Every time Qin Fang arrived at the doorstep, he would ring the bell and watch the two children stand up and run out.
It seemed as if she had adapted to life here without realizing it.
He kissed me that night, and nothing happened afterwards. It was like they had reached a consensus to forget what happened that night.
Qin Fang handed the bicycle to his younger brother and asked him to push it to the corner and park it. He then gave the fish he bought to Qin Chuchu to carry.
"Fish, do you want to eat fish tonight?"
"Has your sister-in-law cooked?" Qin Fang asked.
Qin Chuchu nodded, "I did it. I made pumpkin soup and corn cakes!"
Qin Fang, "We have food tonight, so we'll eat the fish tomorrow!"
Qin Chuchu was disappointed. Looking at the fish in her hand, she couldn't help but think of the delicious fish stewed by her sister-in-law. Her saliva couldn't help but flow.
Lin Qiaoqiao came over and felt sorry for the little girl when she saw her pitiful appearance. She quickly took the fish.
"How can we leave the fish for stewing tomorrow? We will stew the fish when the soup is ready."
"Okay! Okay! We want to eat fish!" Qin Chuchu said while clapping happily.
Qin Fang took out the letter from his bag and said, "The newspaper has replied to you. It's almost time. Your manuscript should be approved."
Lin Qiaoqiao thought she would have to wait a few more days. She had already saved 70,000 words of the manuscript and the manuscript paper was almost used up. She decisively took the letter away and hurried back to the house.
As for the fish, she put it in the basin and couldn't wait to go back to the house and open the letter.
The first few dozen words express the author's love for her novel, and the last few words state that he wants her to go there in person.
It also explains later that as long as the contract is signed successfully, the price of the royalties will definitely be higher than the agreed three yuan per thousand words.
How much more is it?
It was obvious that the editor liked her novel very much. He wrote three pages, and at the end explained that the remittance slip would arrive two days later, which meant there would be 90 yuan.
This money comes so easily. Compared with the current prices and wages, writing novels is really a way out.
Qin Fang walked into the room and saw the woman grinning at the letter.
"What? Was your manuscript approved?"
When Lin Qiaoqiao was excited, she wanted to hug someone, so she hugged Qin Fang, and then quickly let go of his hand.
"My manuscript has been approved, and the price is three yuan per thousand words. This is the preliminary price. In a few days, the postman will send you a remittance slip, which is my remuneration.
The letter also said that they wanted to invite me to the newspaper to sign a long-term contract, which means that they are very interested in my novel and want to cooperate with me for a long time. The price may be higher at that time. Now it is three yuan per thousand words. How high do you think it will be?"
Qin Fang looked at Lin Qiaoqiao's excitement and said, "I don't know much about this, but it will probably increase to 5 yuan!"
"Wow, if it's 5 yuan, I will write at least 100,000 words a month. 10,000 words is 50 yuan, so 100,000 words is 500 yuan, right?" Lin Qiaoqiao suddenly felt that she had become very rich.
It seems that what the teacher said is correct. As long as you have education, there is no money that you cannot make.
"How many words do you plan to write in this novel?" Qin Fang asked casually.
Lin Qiaoqiao's expression instantly fell. "In fact, I only wrote 300,000 words. Doesn't that mean I can only earn 1,500 yuan? And then there will be no income?"
"It's already a lot, okay?" Qin Fang couldn't help but calculate his salary in his mind. It seemed that this amount was about the same in half a year.
Doesn't that mean I'll have to be supported by a woman in the future?
Originally, he was thinking of taking it slow and working quietly as a director of a steel plant. After a few years, when the government's control is not so strict, he can develop his own industry.
By that time, my younger brothers and sisters will have grown up and will need money. I will earn enough to buy a house in a big city, a car for transportation, and some property for them. All in all, I can retire when I am 35.
At that time, I can do what I want, travel around the country. In short, I have to finish what I didn’t do in my previous life in this life, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of my rebirth?
But reality told him that if he didn't find a way to make money, this woman might run away one day!
Lin Qiaoqiao's biggest weakness is that she is obsessed with money, or maybe it's the weakness of everyone. People who are indifferent to worldly matters have no way of surviving without the support of their family.
Unconsciously, Lin Qiaoqiao was already in his heart, and he wanted this woman to stay.
Lin Qiaoqiao didn't know what the man was thinking. Of course she had to celebrate this good news. She put the letter in the drawer, then turned around and said to him happily,
"When the remittance slip arrives in a few days, take me to withdraw the money, and then I'll treat you to a meal!"
"Okay." Qin Fang replied.
Then I saw the woman rushing out and heard the sound of water pouring coming from the outer room.
Only then did he remember that there was no water in the jar, so he took off his coat and took two buckets to fetch water from the well in the village.
Lin Qiaoqiao was in a good mood and hummed a song.
"Today is a good day, a good day!"
"Sister-in-law, what is a good day?" Qin Ling asked.
Lin Qiaoqiao was cleaning the fish with scissors. "In my opinion, a good life means having good food to eat and being able to do whatever you want, so it's a good life!"
"Then I want a good life too." Qin Ling replied.
Lin Qiaoqiao smiled, slid the scissors down the fish belly and cut it open, and found fish eggs inside.
"Isn't today a good day? The fish I bought has fish roe in its belly. It tastes so delicious!"
"Really? I haven't eaten it yet." Qin Ling also became interested in fish roe.
Lin Qiaoqiao cleaned up the fish and filled the tank with water.
Qin Fang put the lid on the jar and said, "I just met my uncle. He said there will be a movie in the village tomorrow and asked me to go early."
Lin Qiaoqiao looked up, "I was just about to tell you! Xiaoyan also told me that the village will be showing a movie tomorrow, and I want to take them to see a movie tomorrow, so we have to eat earlier tomorrow, otherwise we won't be able to get a good seat!"
Qin Fang thought about it and felt that he came back a little late, so he said,
"Then you guys should eat early and go grab a seat. I'll come find you after I get home and finish my meal."
Lin Qiaoqiao poured some oil into the pot and sprinkled some salt, then put the fish into the pot. Only then did she have time to talk. She turned around and said to him,
"Then it's decided. We must get a good seat to watch a movie tomorrow. I just don't know what movie will be playing."
