Zhou wanted to stand up, "I have to go study. Next semester, I will participate in the National Junior High School Knowledge Competition and go to Beijing."
"Something?" Isn't the little girl no longer interested in the competition?
"Well! Everyone wants to go to the capital to see the blind lady, so they use the competition as an opportunity."
Ling Ran knew the blind lady. He learned some things from Zhou Niao, and then he guessed some of it.
"Okay! Come on! I'll go back first and come play with you in the evening."
"Yeah! Wait a minute, I'll get you some dried fruit."
Going up to the second floor, he smuggled out a small bag of dried fruit and brought it downstairs. "Here, drink it first. If it's not enough, come back for more. I'll bring you more when you go back."
I had been planning to mail it to him later, but since he wants to protect her, I'll just bring it all to him at once!
Ling Ran took the small plastic bag, which contained dozens of pieces of dried fruits.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
His study load this time was quite heavy. In the second half of 1987, he missed the college entrance examination due to a delay in a task. This year, he had to be admitted to a military academy.
"Yeah! Let's go!"
When Zhou wanted to sit at the dinner table and join in the study, Xiao Chunmei winked at her.
Zhou Xiang completely ignored her.
"Hurry up and take out the questions you don't know how to answer. Time is running out and we need to finish all our homework before the New Year."
Xiao Chunmei immediately lowered her head and continued to do her winter vacation homework.
In the afternoon, an unexpected but expected visitor came to the Zhou family.
Hao Heng dressed himself up in a rustic way so that he wouldn't attract much attention in this small town.
When I saw the Zhou family's courtyard, I was still a little hesitant. No matter how much Cao Xiaosong said, it was not as good as seeing it with my own eyes.
Although the craftsmanship is not very good, the creativity is very good, especially the plank road outside the courtyard, which has its own unique characteristics.
Zhou Xiang heard the calls of Dahuang and the others, so he got up and walked out of the dining room. When he saw it was Hao Heng, he led him into the living room.
As soon as he sat down, Hao Heng handed Zhou Xiang a passbook and said, "Zhou Xiang, this is the fourth dividend. There are too many pirated copies, so the dividend this time is much less."
Zhou Xiang took the passbook and opened it. Hmm, it was quite a bit less, only 4.5 million, almost half of what he had paid last time. He put it in his pocket and put it on the bookshelf in his space.
"Thank you! Because of you, my brother has made a lot of money, which should be enough for him to spend for the rest of his life."
Hao Heng only saw her faint courtesy and could not tell whether she was happy or angry. He was unwilling to continue the agonizing wait. The studio was also urging him to strike while the iron was hot.
"Zhou Xiang, I, I also want to arrange a new song."
Seeing that she didn't say anything and didn't stop herself from talking, he continued, "Once the ten songs were released, they became popular all over the country. I made a promise with my family that I would only work in the entertainment industry until I was 30.
I would like to ask you to help me find that acquaintance of yours to sing songs for me. Even if there is only one such song on each album, I can work hard to stick to it. "
As he spoke, he took out another passbook and handed it to Zhou Xiang, "Here is four million, for the subsidy to that person. One hundred thousand is too little, and he doesn't want royalties, which makes me feel very embarrassed. I will charge him 500,000 for each song and lyrics. If it's just the lyrics or music, it's 250,000 each. Or, he can raise the price if he wants.
You know, after this explosion of popularity, if I don’t have better songs, I might just be like a shooting star, fleeting and overshadowed by the halo of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.”
Zhou Xiang took the passbook. She thought that Hao Heng might cry out for justice, might beg, or might get furious.
I just didn't expect that he would use the strategy of playing the victim, not to mention the two culprits.
What should she do?
After a long silence, Zhou Xiang sighed softly, "Alright! I'll pass it on for you. All information will still be conveyed through Doctor Cao. From now on, don't come to my house. If it's extremely urgent, just call my home phone number. I'll copy it down for you."
After Hao Heng finished speaking, he waited nervously. He felt that he had never been so nervous when he protested against his family.
Finally, he heard her speak, and what she said was what he most hoped to hear. At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of nature.
"Okay, okay, I'll be leaving now. Say hello to Zhou Niao for me. If possible, I look forward to working with him again."
Zhou Xiang didn't completely refuse. No one could predict what would happen in the future. Maybe, Big Brother would agree? But definitely not right now. Big Brother needed to concentrate on his studies and painting.
"Let's talk about it when there's a chance! Things are unpredictable, aren't they?"
Hao Heng nodded. Yes! Life is unpredictable. Who would have thought that he, a man who could almost walk sideways in the capital, would meet such a person in this remote little place, whom he worshipped as an ancestor?
After seeing Hao Heng off, I looked at the four million on the passbook. There were so many zeros, a number that I had never dared to imagine before or in my previous life!
In this life, others have forced things into her hands.
Throw it into the space and go back to the dining room to study. At the moment, studying is the most important thing, everything else is empty.
Plagiarizing lyrics and music is not important, plagiarizing knowledge and techniques is the most important.
In the evening, Ling Ran brought a cardboard box of fireworks, "Let's go to the door and set off fireworks! I bought a lot."
"Did you see the fireworks and paper scraps on the side of the plank road?"
"Yeah! I didn't get to join in last night, let's continue playing together today!"
Yaya was the first to support, "Thank you, Brother Ling, I just finished setting off my fireworks."
Ling Ran frowned, "Just call me Brother Ling! You're not allowed to call me Brother Ling."
"Isn't it the same?"
"no the same!"
As he said this, he looked at Zhou Xiang. You can't just call someone brother casually.
Zhou wanted to look away, and then he heard Yaya's three words, "Why?"
Immediately pursed your lips to hold back your laughter.
"Why so many whys? If it's not allowed, then it's not allowed. Do we still want to set off fireworks?"
"Oh! All right! I want to play the colorful ball game with the double dragons and the pearl."
Zhou Hua lit a few incense sticks and gave one to each of the boys.
This time, someone accompanied Zhou Xiang. She only needed to hold the fireworks and there was someone else to light them.
They didn't feel sorry for the fireworks that weren't theirs. Everyone was scrambling to set off the fireworks in the cardboard boxes. Zhou Niao simply picked up a lot of them and held them in his arms.
Yaya also hugged one, "Brother, come and grab it!"
Zhou Xiang saw them in a mess, so he and Ling Ran went to stop them.
"Put them all down. It's dangerous to hold them in your arms. If they explode in your arms, they could injure someone. Just put them down one at a time and then take another. On the morning of the 30th, we'll go buy another one."
"Think about it, sister lied, there is no thirty."
"Then go buy it on the morning of the 29th."
"All right!"
Yaya put down the fireworks in her arms, and Zhou Niao also put the fireworks back into the cardboard box.
"Blame me. I won't rob anymore."
"It's okay, big brother, just remember that this is a dangerous thing and stay away from your body."
Zhou Niao nodded in agreement.
Everyone went back to the house until no one was left.
Ling Ran sat for a short while before leaving, and everyone started studying again.
The next day, Song Sui came and brought some cigarettes, alcohol and tea, saying they were New Year's goods.
Then, he took out a stack of drawings, saying that he had drawn them, and asked Zhou Xiang to give his opinion.
