"Captain He, aren't you going to train today?"

As soon as Su Ting and He Dongchuan walked into the seafood supply station, a military wife asked with a smile that the internal competition in the navy had been spread a long time ago and the list was also public.

"Take a rest today." He Dongchuan's tone was a little softer because he was in a good mood.

Several military wives nearby couldn't help but glance at He Dongchuan. Someone asked with a smile, "Is Captain He in a good mood today?"

“Generally speaking.”

Everyone laughed: "After training for a long time, it's good to take a day off, to combine work with rest!"

"I think so too." He Dongchuan said, lowering his head to look at Su Ting.

The latter couldn't bear to look at these four words, and glared at him: "Go pick some shrimps!"

"Okay." He Dongchuan responded and squatted in front of the shrimp stall.

Seeing how obedient he was, the wives of the soldiers jokingly gave Su Ting a thumbs-up and said, "If we were to say who in our compound is the best at keeping her husband, it would be you, Comrade Su."

Su Ting: "Are you insulting me or praising me?"

Several people said in unison: "Of course I envy you!"

The morning is usually the busiest time for the military wives. They didn't get together to chat for too long. They just dispersed after a few jokes. Su Ting went over to pick shrimps with He Dongchuan.

Actually, there is nothing to choose from. The seafood in the seafood supply station is basically caught on the same day and is very fresh. Especially the shrimps, crabs and shellfish that can survive after being brought ashore are basically alive and kicking. You can't go wrong even if you choose with your eyes closed. The only thing you can choose is the size.

But they arrived late, and the big prawns had already been picked up, and the remaining ones were not good. However, even if they were not good, they were still bigger than the 11-pound shrimps that Su Ting bought from the supermarket in her previous life.

After choosing the lobsters, they weighed some clams and a sea fish, and also picked some oysters. The garlic oysters were delicious. He Dongchuan originally wanted to buy crabs, but Su Ting stopped him because she was afraid that there would be too much food and they wouldn't be able to finish it.

After selecting the seafood, the two carried the net bag to the front desk to weigh it and settle the bill.

In the past, the model of seafood supply stations was similar to that of supply and marketing cooperatives, with each stall's salesperson being responsible for everything from weighing the goods to collecting payment and shipping.

The advantage of this is that responsibilities are clear, and if the damage exceeds the standard, the seller has to pay for it himself. The disadvantage is that the damage often exceeds the standard, and the sales clerks at each stall will basically have their wages deducted every month.

The working environment of the seafood supply station is not as good as other units. It is humid, dirty, and the air is full of fishy smell. When you work here, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, you must take a shower when you get home from get off work, otherwise the fishy smell will not go away all day.

In addition, the working hours at the supply station are short and the salary is much lower than other units, so the only advantage of working here is the flexibility of working time. However, no matter how flexible the working time is, it cannot make up for the dissatisfaction of finding that the salary has been deducted every month.

Therefore, among all the units outside the affiliated institutes, the staff turnover rate of the seafood supply station is the highest. How to retain employees has become the biggest worry for the director of the supply station every day.

The problem was not improved until the beginning of this year, when the seafood supply station started reforms.

The reform was proposed by Li Guifang.

Unlike other military wives who just want to get by and earn a little extra salary, Li Guifang had a very clear purpose in joining the marine product supply station, which was to make a name for herself.

That's right, she wanted not only to gain a firm foothold, but also to achieve results and become an indispensable talent in the eyes of the leaders. This way, when she and Qi Shenggang couldn't make it anymore and broke up, she would have a chance to stay. At worst, with the results she had achieved here, it would be easy for her to transfer back to her hometown.

Therefore, after entering the marine product supply station, Li Guifang worked hard while also observing what she could do.

After observation, Li Guifang felt that there was not much she could do.

The seafood supply station was too small, with only four stalls in total. Including the director and the fish killer, there were only six people in total.

Moreover, the seafood supply station was established at the early stage of the construction of the Pingchuan Island station. It has been in operation for more than ten years, and many things have already been regulated and the rules and regulations have been set.

As a latecomer, it was not easy for her to change her job position. She went to her supervisor and asked him to give her a chance to perform. However, the supervisor probably thought she was crazy.

Although the director was usually very friendly to her and seemed to value her very much, Li Guifang knew in her heart that this was entirely because there were not many military wives willing to do the job of killing fish and the director was afraid that she would run away.

Besides, she is a semi-illiterate who has not even graduated from primary school and has only been on the island for a short time. She starts by saying that she wants opportunities and wants to achieve results. Who can believe her?

But since she realized her husband had no hope, Li Guifang's personality changed. Now she won't give up easily. If there is no opportunity to show her talent, she will just create one for herself.

This opportunity only comes once. If she fails to seize it due to the distrust of her leaders and colleagues and lets others snatch it away, she may always be suppressed by others and never have the chance to stand out again.

Therefore, in the first six months, Li Guifang did not rashly raise opinions to the leaders, but made progress on three fronts: first, working hard to win the favor of the leaders; second, making friends with colleagues and understanding their ideas; third, working hard to learn to read, study well, and ask questions to the leaders from time to time.

Su Ting's advice to her was to study hard. Her education was her biggest shortcoming, but it was not unbridgeable. As long as she could gain the respect of her leaders, she would have plenty of opportunities for further study in the future.

For example, many of those who went to Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University did not have much education, but were recommended by their units to go for gold plating because they performed well at work.

But Su Ting also said that a good blacksmith must have strong skills. If the unit recommends her to go for further studies, she cannot go to school without knowing anything. If so, even if she gets the license and really starts working, others will know her abilities and will be dissatisfied with her.

Moreover, leaders often value cultured people more. It’s too late for her to establish a “cultured person” persona now, but it’s never too late to establish a hardworking and motivated persona.

Leaders like their employees to work hard and make progress.

Therefore, learning this is a matter of great benefit to Li Guifang.

As for letting her consult the leader frequently, firstly, it is to let the leader know her learning progress. In this way, when she has any ideas or opinions in the future, the leader will not think that she is uneducated and talking nonsense, but will think that she is studious and loves to think, and will be more willing to refer to her opinions;

Second, in order to build a closer relationship with the leader, she often asks the leader questions and keeps making progress, which can make the leader feel a sense of achievement. When he sees her, he will think, "Well, this person was cultivated by me" and treat her more intimately. Why are fans of the cultivation idol so loyal? Isn't it because they feel that the idol was raised by them little by little?

Of course, frequently asking leaders for advice also requires a lot of self-esteem. First, one must study hard, and second, one must have good comprehension. Otherwise, if the difficulty of the questions asked each time is similar, it will be easy for people to think that she is pretending. Or if the leader has been talking for a long time and she still looks confused, people will think she is too stupid, which will have the opposite effect.

Fortunately, Li Guifang was smart and hardworking, so after half a year, the director of the supply station went from pretending to respect her to actually respecting her and began to tell her the truth.

The same goes for her colleagues. Because she has a straightforward personality and is always willing to help others, everyone gets along well with her. She could hear complaints from her colleagues several times in a row when the payroll was paid.

Once the information from both sides was integrated, Li Guifang knew that the opportunity had come.

It's just that now that the opportunity is here, we need to think about how to seize it and solve the problem.

Su Ting gave her an idea and asked them to learn from department stores.

Li Guifang had been on the island for half a year, and she was so busy with work and study that she had hardly been to the department store, so she only half understood what she heard. But she was willing to spend time learning, and in the next month, she went to the department store in the city every time she had a holiday.

Because every time she went to a department store, she didn't buy anything, but just watched how they made the bills and collected the money, she was almost mistaken for a bad person by the department store staff, and the police were called to take her away.

However, after the misunderstanding was resolved, she became more familiar with the staff in the department store. Because they were embarrassed, they did not answer every question she asked, but at least they told her everything they could.

A month later, Li Guifang came up with a plan and showed it to Su Ting first. After getting her approval, she submitted it privately to the director of the supply station.

Because of the preparations made in the past six months, the director of the supply station did not think that Li Guifang's idea was unrealistic after receiving the plan. Instead, he read the plan carefully several times. The more he read it, the more feasible it seemed to him.

After listening to Li Guifang's explanation that this was the solution she came up with after studying in a department store for a month and drawing lessons from their cash register system, I agreed even more.

But the director of the supply station also had a concern in his mind: "Does this cashier have too much power?"

The plan proposed by Li Guifang is very simple, which is to add a cashier position, and put a steel scale each at the stall and the cashier counter. The stall will weigh the pounds first, and then take the order to the cashier. After the weighing is correct, the cashier will collect the money and ship the goods. If it’s not right, rework and continue weighing. The same goes for purchasing goods. Each stall has to go through the weighing process, and the checkout counter has to go through the weighing process again to confirm that there is nothing wrong with the weight before purchasing.

If this plan is implemented, it will definitely greatly reduce the error rate and reduce losses.

The problem is that the job scope is too broad. If it is really implemented, the cashier can at least be considered the second in command of the supply station.

Li Guifang said, "To decentralize power, we need to add more people, but our supply station is so small that adding three or four people is definitely not realistic. If you are really worried, there is another way, which is to let each stall do cross-accounting. This way, even the cashier position can be saved. But in this case, it is equivalent to one person managing two stalls, and the workload will inevitably increase. It is also easy to get confused when there are many customers."

When the director heard this, he said, "Mistakes are made in chaos. This is definitely not okay."

"Yes, in fact, the cashier not only has great power, but also great responsibility. As the gatekeeper, if the stall's losses exceed the limit, she must bear joint responsibility."

"Then this job...is there anyone willing to do it?" The director of the supply station knew his subordinates very well. Everything else was easy to deal with, but he was most afraid of losing money.

Li Guifang proposed the plan just for this job, but she also knew that she couldn't just blithely propose that she wanted to do this job, otherwise the director would think that she had selfish motives and wanted to seize power.

Li Guifang said: "If you think it is feasible, you can organize a meeting and ask for everyone's opinions. It would be best if someone can do it. If no one wants to do it, I came up with the plan, so I am willing to take it up."

"Aren't you afraid of being deducted money?" the director asked with a smile.

Li Guifang was no longer modest and said firmly: "If I were to be the cashier, I would be confident that I could reduce the loss to below the standard. If not, it doesn't matter if I lose all my salary!"

Seeing that Li Guifang was determined to work hard, the director had nothing to say: "Then let's have a meeting."

The meeting went as smoothly as Li Guifang had imagined. Everyone was eager to take action after hearing that the cashiers had great power. However, when they heard that the cashiers would have their money deducted if there was any loss, they became discouraged.

The director of the supply station originally preferred to let Li Guifang be the cashier, but when he saw that everyone was so afraid of taking responsibility, he felt disappointed and directly announced the news that Li Guifang would become the cashier.

After the meeting, the director of the supply station called Li Guifang to his office and gave her a promise: "If the losses of all stalls can be below the standard for three consecutive months, I will apply for the position of team leader and let you take on the position."

With the director's words, Li Guifang worked harder after becoming a cashier. She did fulfill her promise to the director. In the past two months, the losses of all stalls were below the standard.

As long as I can keep it up this month, becoming a team leader is just around the corner!

However, Li Guifang was very calm. No matter how excited she was, she never showed it on her face. Moreover, in the last month, she worked even more seriously and has not made any mistakes so far.

After weighing the seafood and calculating the total price, Li Guifang asked while counting the money: "Do you want to kill the fish?"

"want."

Li Guifang handed the extra money to Su Ting and said with a smile: "Just take it outside and kill them."

This was also Li Guifang's suggestion. Previously, the supply station killed fish inside, and the smell of fish mixed with the smell of blood was unbearable. In order to improve the working environment, she suggested connecting a water pipe and moving the fish killing point outside.

In fact, this is not difficult to imagine. It’s just that the wives of soldiers who work in the supply stations basically work there to get paid, and they don’t pay much attention to the construction of the unit.

Moreover, water pipes are made of plastic, which is an industrial product. To buy them, you need industrial coupons, and the price is not cheap. The director of the supply station did not want to spend this unnecessary money, so over the years, the fish killing point has never been moved.

But Li Guifang felt that this was extremely necessary, and she convinced their director by saying that if the working environment improved, the staff turnover rate in the unit would not be so high.

After the fish-killing site was moved out, the smell inside the supply station was indeed better. In addition, there was no blood all over the ground when the fish were killed, so the ground looked a lot cleaner. Moreover, when the weather got warmer, there were not so many flies inside.

After the change, not only did the staff at the supply station feel better, but even the customers who came to buy seafood were much happier. Someone even said to the director of the supply station after the fact: "I told you a long time ago that you should move the fish killing site out, but you never listened. What do you think now? Have you moved it out after all?"

The director of the supply station smiled and said, "Yes, yes." He gave Li Guifang credit in his heart.

After killing the fish, the two went to the meat station next door to buy ribs. Ribs were not as popular in those days as they are today, so there were two left, which was just enough for them to buy.

After buying groceries and returning home, the two children who were sitting in the living room playing the "You clap, I clap" game turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes lit up when they saw the large and small bags of seafood in their hands.

He Yan was older and more expressive, so he asked in surprise, "Are we going to have a big meal today?"

Manman was young and not very good at expressing himself, so he followed suit and shouted, "Feast! Feast!"

"Yes, I'll go to the kitchen and make a big meal for you." Su Ting deliberately teased the two children.

After eating two meals cooked by Su Ting, even if it was slow, they no longer had any expectations for their mother to cook. The brother and sister became depressed, especially He Yan, who looked at Su Ting with the look of wanting to say something but not daring to.

Su Ting was both angry and amused: "Okay, I'm just kidding you. I won't cook. Let your dad do it."

The brother and sister's eyes lit up again and they looked at He Dongchuan together.

Although they didn't say anything, their attitude seemed to say everything. Su Ting couldn't help but grit her teeth: "I tell you, I don't cook often. I was soft-hearted the past two days. You should eat and cherish it."

He Dongchuan agreed seriously, "That's right, I was busy with training the past two days and couldn't come back at night, so I didn't get to eat the food your mother cooked. If I were here, you wouldn't have had any of the dishes."

"Dad, you are at home today, so mom can cook for you." He Yan said.

He Dongchuan coughed and said, "Okay, but your mother must be tired after cooking for two days in a row. Let her take a rest today, don't you think so, daughter-in-law?"

Su Ting snorted coldly: "Come on, you want to eat but I don't want to cook!"

"It's okay. If you don't want to cook, I'll do it. We want to have fried clams and braised shrimps in the morning, right? I'll soak them in water now. Xiaoyan, peel two more cloves of garlic. I'll steam a plate of garlic oysters for lunch." He Dongchuan said, and went into the kitchen to get busy.

He Yan did not hesitate to do what he had to do, and followed into the kitchen, found some garlic and started peeling it. Su Ting had already said that she would not go into the kitchen to mix it up, but sat in front of the lady, playing with her toys.

In the kitchen, He Dongchuan soaked the clams and prawns, then washed and marinated the sea fish. He didn't care about the ribs, as he would deal with them in the afternoon. After finishing his work, He Dongchuan went out and sat next to Su Ting who was concentrating on entertaining the children. He coughed lightly and was about to speak, but Su Ting interrupted him: "Do you feel uncomfortable in your throat?"

He Dongchuan said solemnly: "You can also feel uncomfortable, it depends on how you feel."

"You're so poor!" Su Ting said angrily with a smile on her face.

He Dongchuan raised his lips, took the bell from Su Ting, and asked while teasing her: "Seriously, when will you cook a meal for me?"

"Don't you want to eat?"

"That's just to tease the kids. If you prepared this table of food specifically for me, I would definitely eat it all."

Su Ting said, "Who knows if you are teasing me now? I still want to do it specially for you. It's beautiful to think about it."

"Is it a joke? You can tell if I can just look at the disc."

"I cooked more than ten dishes for the table, and you just ate all?"

"It's probably a little difficult," He Dongchuan said with a serious expression, "but I'm willing to take the risk of bursting my stomach and give it a try."

Su Ting laughed: "Okay, then you wait."

"Wait until when?"

"It depends on when I'm in a good mood." Su Ting said this, but in her heart she thought that with her current cooking skills, she would need to practice for a few more years, otherwise the dishes she made would not taste good, and even if he managed to finish them, she would still feel embarrassed.

He Dongchuan sighed: "Okay."

At noon that day, the brother and sister both ate until their bellies were full. After the meal, He Yan didn't want to go out anymore. He sat on the sofa with his sister, enjoying the sweet fruit after the meal.

Su Ting saw this and asked, "Are you guys too full or not full?"

"I'm full, but I want to eat more." He Yan said while touching his stomach.

Slowly followed with a nod: "Yeah!"

"Oh, then you should eat more tonight. After this meal, you don't know when the next meal will be."

He Yan thought about his father's training which would not be finished until July: "Alas!"

After listening to it slowly, he sighed, not quite understanding what was said: "Alas!"

Su Ting was so amused by what she saw that she went back to her room, got her sketchbook, and drew a Q-version portrait of the brother and sister, and specially drew the two children's bellies big.

When He Yan first discovered that his mother was drawing him, he was very happy and was wondering whether he should sit up straight so as to face his mother with a better image.

After Su Ting said that it was not necessary and let them do whatever they wanted, He Yan took his sister and continued to be paralyzed with peace of mind.

When He Yan saw the watermelon bellies of himself and his sister in the painting, he was dumbfounded.

After coming to his senses, He Yan threw himself into Su Ting's arms and stretched out his hand to snatch the sketchbook.

He grew rapidly in the past two years. At the age of eight, he was already 1.5 meters tall, the tallest child in the class. So although he was the teachers' favorite, he always occupied the seat in the last row in the middle of the classroom.

But sitting in the last row was of no use. He was tall and the teacher could see whatever he did. Also, because of him, teachers of all subjects paid close attention to the students in the last two rows, causing complaints from the poor students.

Although Su Ting is an adult, there is a difference between men and women. The Su family does not have any tall genes. Her two brothers are less than 1.75 meters tall, so her height is also average, only 14 centimeters taller than He Yan.

But don't think they are short. There are a lot of men in the south who are no taller than 1.7 meters, and women who are over 1.6 meters tall are considered tall. At least in Su Ting's hometown, she is considered tall.

However, the height difference was indeed not enough for Su Ting to protect the sketchbook, so when He Yan jumped up, she kept backing away until she retreated into He Dongchuan's arms.

"What are you grabbing?" He Dongchuan took the sketchbook from Su Ting, held it high and looked up. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this Xiaoyan and Manman?"

"Um."

He Yan was still trying to jump, but the height difference between the father and son was too big, so he couldn't get it. He could only shout at the top of his voice: "Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"

Slowly, he got off the sofa and jumped around in the outer circle: "Give it to me! Give it to me!"

However, He Dongchuan remained unmoved and just turned his head and asked, "Give it to them?"

"Give it to me." Su Ting said, trying not to laugh. When He Yan took the sketchbook and was about to tear it up, she asked, "Do you really want to tear up this picture? Don't you think it's cute?"

He Yan paused while tearing the book, pursed his lips and said, "How can it be cute? Our stomachs are not that big!"

"You have to have a round belly to be cute. Imagine if you had a round belly in the picture, would you still look so cute? I really like this picture."

He Yan was not so easily fooled: "Mom, you drew a similar picture for me before. It was cute even without this big belly. And if you like it, why don't you draw a picture like this for yourself and dad?"

"Do you want to see it? If you want to see it, I'll draw it for you." Su Ting smiled. She really thought the picture was cute.

He Dongchuan did not appreciate this style of painting, and before his son even had time to put on the pad, he politely declined the offer, saying, "No thanks."

As long as people can accept the style of Q-prints, few people would think they are ugly. This is the case with He Yan. As he watched, he gradually agreed with his mother's words. In addition, he had just been bullied by his father, so he was very rebellious.

Whatever his father opposes, he will support!

With this in mind, He Yan shouted, "I want to see! Dad doesn't have the final say! Is it my sister?"

Although Man Man didn't quite understand what was said, he nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

Three votes against one, so He Dongchuan could only watch Su Ting holding her sketchbook and quickly drawing four Q-version fat men.

He Yan asked in surprise: "Isn't it just you and dad? Why are my sister and I included too?"

Su Ting said as a matter of course: "This is a family photo, of course no one from our family can be missing."

"Is it the same as the one hanging on the wall?" He Yan asked.

Before returning to Pingchuan Island, He Dongchuan went to the photo studio to pick up photos taken before the New Year. They got two large photos, one was a photo of him and Su Ting, which he framed and hung on the wall of the master bedroom, and the other was a family photo of their family of four, which was hung on the wall of the living room.

The remaining photos were put into the album. He and Su Ting agreed that they would take photos at least once every year in the future, and try to fill up this thick album as soon as possible.

Su Ting looked up at the photo on the wall and nodded, "Yes, this is the fat version of the family photo."

"Do we have to hang it up too?" He Yan asked.

Su Ting threw the question to He Dongchuan: "That depends on whether your father has time to make photo frames." All the photo frames currently in the house were made by He Dongchuan himself when he was free.

He Dongchuan didn't want to hang up the picture at all, and made an excuse, saying, "I've been very busy these months and don't have time. Let's talk about it in the second half of the year." He felt that by then He Yan would have forgotten about it.

However, He Dongchuan never expected that before he had time to relax, Su Ting had already come up with a new plan for this fat version of the family portrait - she planned to use this picture as the cover of a new story.

That’s right, the new story that Su Ting is going to draw is still based on the three fires.

It’s not that Su Ting doesn’t have other inspirations. It’s just that although the situation has improved a lot this year and people who were accused have been rehabilitated since the beginning of spring, she still doesn’t dare to let go too much and doesn’t dare to paint the stories she thinks of.

It just so happened that He Dongchuan had to train recently, leaving home early and returning late every day, and He Yan had to perform on stage, so Su Ting got an inspiration and planned to draw a story with the theme of "Dad is not at home".

This is also what the publishers like to see.

In the past, the themes published in "Comic Book" were all serious. Even if the script was written in a humorous and ironic way, the core of the story was very serious. Therefore, the audience of the magazine was mainly junior and senior high school students with relatively high cultural level, and even adults.

This was also the point that the publisher hesitated before the serialization of "Sanhuo's Working Diary". This story is too cheerful. Although it explores the issue of favoring boys over girls, it is not profound and has no core. At most, it can be regarded as bedtime reading for children. They are worried that existing readers of the picture magazine will dislike it.

But the fact is that people of all ages love to read happy stories. They didn’t read them before because there were none, but when they appeared, readers were more enthusiastic than ever.

Just like Leaving Taoyuan Village, Sanhuo’s Working Diary became popular after the first issue of the series. Letters from readers flowed to the publishing house like snowflakes. By the second issue, the number of letters from readers received was on the verge of exceeding that of the previous one.

After two months of serialization, the publisher can determine that the story has become a hit based on the sales of the picture magazine and the letters received from readers.

Not only did Su Ting receive many letters from readers, but the publishing house also received many letters from readers asking when "Three Fires Working Diary" would be compiled and published.

In order to meet the expectations of readers as soon as possible, the publishing house contacted Su Ting and discussed the publication of "Sanhuo Working Diary" before the serialization was completed.

For this publication, the royalties given to Su Ting were adjusted again.

Previously, because the style and subject matter of "Sanhuo Working Diary" were too new, the publishing house was not very optimistic about it, so the royalties paid by the publishing house were not adjusted much compared to "The Educated Youth", and it was still 70 yuan per issue.

But when discussing the publication, "Sanhuo Working Diary" had already become a hit, and the royalties could definitely not be the same as before. Originally, the royalty rate at that time was high, and those famous comic book artists might be given 30 or 40 percent.

Su Ting has been in the industry for a short time and is not famous enough, so her royalties cannot be compared with those of the big guys, but she is talented. Each of her three works so far has been a hit, so her royalties will not be too low, otherwise she will run away if the negotiations fail.

Therefore, after discussion, the royalties were set at 22%.

Moreover, the number of copies published this time has also been increased. Because the story is long, it will be published in two parts, with 15,000 copies of each volume, adding up to 30,000 copies. The price per copy has not changed and is still 26 cents.

Therefore, Su Ting could get 1,716 yuan in royalties from the publication of "Sanhuo Working Diary" alone, plus 560 yuan in royalties from the serialization, for a total of 2,276 yuan.

Therefore, He Yan can now be considered a 1,000 yuan household.

However, in order to prevent He Yan from becoming arrogant after knowing that he was a wealthy man, Su Ting did not tell him about this and only paid him monthly.

She had made up her mind that after the reform and opening up, when houses could be bought and sold freely, she would use the money to buy him a house.

Because of the lack of money, the houses in the capital Shanghai, no, it is not impossible to think about it. If you can't buy a house in the main city, you can buy a house in the suburbs. For example, Hudong was still a wilderness at that time. It was not developed until the 1990s, so the house price should not be high.

But soon, Su Ting knew that she didn't have to worry about it anymore, because Wang Jingfang contacted her and said that the publishing house hoped that she could draw the story of Sanhuo into a series.

When Su Ting first received Wang Jingfang's letter, she didn't have any thoughts in her mind. But the next day, He Dongchuan came home early, which was rare. During dinner, He Yan talked about rehearsing a drama, and she suddenly remembered to ask him if she could go to watch.

He Dongchuan said that it was a workday and he had to train, and he was not sure if he could take a day off. Because of his uncertain tone, He Yan felt there was hope, so he took his father's hand and acted coquettishly, emphasizing that this was the first time in his life that he would act in a play, and that he must, must come to see it.

As the father and son were arguing, Su Ting suddenly had an inspiration and quickly determined the theme of the new story. She planned to draw a state-owned factory. Because of the adjustment of the production plan, Sanhuo's father became very busy and began to draw, interspersed with several small things in the middle, and the climax was the Children's Day party.

As for the direction of the story, it will not be determined until the end of the party. Whether the story ends in a family reunion or with a slight regret will depend on the results achieved by He Dongchuan in July.

Anyway, communication is inconvenient at this time, so she is not afraid of the editor urging her to submit manuscripts, and she can take her time to draw the new story.

Upon learning that Su Ting was going to continue drawing new stories based on He Yanwei, and that she planned to use a fat version of the family portrait as the cover if it could be published, the father and son had different attitudes.

Although He Yan was a little conflicted, he finally decided to compromise for the ten yuan pocket money every month, after all, his mother gave him too much.

He Dongchuan: Is it too late to destroy the painting now?

Su Ting: Of course it’s too late. If it’s destroyed, she can just repaint it. :)
