Of course, Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu were even more excited.
One day they finally became other people's children, no longer attracting the attention of the villagers because of their mischief!
During the last summer vacation of her elementary school career, Pei Tiantian finally received a sample copy of her novel sent by Xing Weigang.
Pei Tiantian held the sample book in her hands, feeling filled with emotion. She had finally waited for it.
She is also someone who can publish physical books, although the copyright of this book legally belongs to Pei Zhiwen. After all, it was she who asked Pei Zhiwen to sign various contracts on her behalf.
Pei Tiantian didn't care either, as long as she could make money.
Moreover, Xing Weigang even negotiated with the publishing house for her. Originally, as a new writer, she could only get a 6% royalty rate, but with Xing Weigang's efforts, the royalty rate was increased from 6% to 8%, which means that she can get more small amounts of money.
Of course, the specific income will be linked to the sales volume of books.
When Pei Tiantian sent the manuscript for the new issue, she wrote the good news at the end to tell the readers. After writing it, Pei Tiantian frowned.
She was a little worried. Would anyone buy the first print run of her novel?
After all, the content of this novel has been serialized in a magazine before. If there are readers of this novel, they should have read the corresponding content.
Moreover, street literature like "Story Collection" only costs a few yuan per copy, but Pei Tiantian's book is priced at 15 yuan per copy, and it is not a classic. Will anyone really buy it?
As it turned out, Pei Tiantian's worries were unnecessary. The publishing house only printed one thousand copies for the first print run and put them on sale. Unexpectedly, they were sold out very quickly, so they started a new round of printing, this time printing 5,000 copies.
What the publishing house didn't expect was that this print run was sold out in less than three days, so they started printing more copies urgently.
Pei Tiantian was shocked when she heard the news. Wow, are there really so many fans who spend money on her novels?
Pei Tiantian quickly told the good news to the Pei family and shared her joy with them.
Wang Ruizhen said proudly: "This proves that the novels written by our Tiantian are really good!"
Gu Rong actually didn't understand why Pei Tiantian was afraid that no one would buy her novels. Every month, when Pei Tiantian received letters from readers of her novels, Pei Zhiwen would bring her a large box from the post office. This showed that her novels had always had a group of regular readers, so there would always be people who would buy her physical books.
This time, the book was printed in three batches and all were sold out. Pei Tiantian also earned more than 30,000 yuan.
Since the name on the contract was Pei Zhiwen, the 30,000 yuan was transferred to Pei Zhiwen's card.
When Pei Zhiwen found an extra 30,000 yuan on his card, he thought someone had transferred the money by mistake. But then Pei Tiantian told him that this was the money she earned after her novel was published.
Pei Zhiwen was shocked
He really didn't expect Pei Tiantian's book to make so much money. It has only been a short time since it was published, but she has already made tens of thousands.
Pei Tiantian said: "Uncle, I'll keep this money with you for now. All the money I earn from the novel will be deposited into this card in the future."
Pei Zhiwen nodded and prepared to give the money to Pei Tiantian for safekeeping. He would return the money to her when Pei Tiantian reached adulthood and was able to apply for a card.
As the days get closer to the start of school, Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu are particularly anxious. They have only been to the city a few times, and going to the city to attend junior high school this time is not much different from going to study in other places, so they are very nervous.
Moreover, they always feel that their admission into No. 18 Middle School was largely due to luck. What should they do if they get admitted and rank last again like before?
Seeing that her two cousins looked very anxious, Pei Tiantian was very relieved. At least now they would also worry about their grades, unlike before when they had been accustomed to getting the last place in the exams so many times.
Pei Tiantian comforted him, "Big cousin, second cousin, don't worry. Your grades are the result of your own hard work. This is your true ability. And even if you stay in junior high school, don't you still have me and brother Gu Rong? As long as we are here, your grades will only go up and not down."
After hearing Pei Tiantian's words, Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu were finally calmed down.
However, they both felt that as an older brother, it was really pathetic for them to need such comfort from their younger sister.
Moreover, there are more subjects in junior high school, unlike elementary school where there are only Chinese and mathematics. If Pei Tiantian were to tutor them in every subject like before, the task would be arduous.
They couldn't always cause trouble for their sister, so Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu thought about taking advantage of the summer vacation to preview the first-year junior high school textbooks in advance, so that they would at least have a basic foundation when they go to school.
After thinking it over for a while, the two told the Pei family about their plan.
Now the Pei family was shocked.
They all saw how Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu were admitted to No. 18 Middle School. It was because of Pei Tiantian's high-intensity pressure every day that the two of them studied hard, and finally they were admitted.
I originally thought that Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu would be resistant to studying, but I didn't expect that there was still more than a month before school started, and Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu actually wanted to preview the textbooks in advance!
Pei Zhiqiang stood at the door and subconsciously looked outside at the bright weather.
The sun doesn't rise from the west yet. The two children have really changed.
The Pei family was naturally happy that Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao had such self-awareness. They went to the village to borrow other people's children's first semester textbooks for the first year of junior high school and gave them to Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu so that they could study hard.
Pei Tiantian stood stealthily at the door of Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu's room, watching the two of them sitting at the table, reading books in a very proper manner.
I was so happy.
This can be regarded as a fundamental change in the problem of Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu being unwilling to learn independently.
Pei Tiantian was actually relieved. If Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu continued to maintain this momentum, they would at least be able to keep up in junior high school.
At this time, Wan Cuilan suddenly raised a question: "Since the children in the family will all go to school in the city in the future, why not let them stay in the school and live there?"
Pei Zhiqiang: "Of course. Junior high schools now have evening self-study classes, so they have no choice but to live in the school."
Pei Zhiwen nodded, this was also his plan.
It’s also nice for the children in the family to live and study at home during the week and come back on weekends.
Wang Ruizhen frowned and said, "Zihao, Tianyu, and Gu Rong are all boys. It's okay for them to live in the school, but Tiantian is still young. She will just turn eight after school starts. I'm worried about letting her live in the school alone at such a young age."
Zhou Wanhong also thought of this.
Zhou Wanhong knew how much Wang Ruizhen loved Pei Tiantian, so she said, "How about this, let's first ask them if they are willing and listen to their own ideas!"
So Pei Zhiwen told the four children that he planned to send them all to school to live in the dormitory.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this matter was brought up, several children opposed it one after another.
Pei Tiantian was unwilling because she didn't really want to live in a school dormitory. What if she was unlucky and met some roommates she didn't get along with? Wouldn't that add trouble to her life?
Gu Rong was also unwilling to do so. If he lived in the dormitory, it would mean that he would be separated from Pei Tiantian.
Pei Tiantian always likes to kick off the quilt when she sleeps at night. If he wasn't watching over her, Pei Tiantian would have caught a cold countless times already, so Gu Rong didn't want to leave Pei Tiantian.
Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu were even more unwilling.
The two brothers have always slept in the same bed and are used to it. It would be so uncomfortable if they were not assigned to the same dormitory after school.
After the children finished talking, the other members of the Pei family were stunned.
I have to say that what the kids thought made sense and they had no way of refutation.
Pei Tiantian said, "We don't have to separate. We can just find a house near the school, close to No. 18 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School. Then my eldest cousin, second cousin, and brother Gu Rong can all move in. Then we can come back on weekends. Isn't that great?"
Pei Zihao nodded quickly, "I'm worried about leaving my sister alone in school."
Pei Zihao patted his chest like a little adult and said, "From now on, Tianyu and Gu Rong will take turns to accompany my sister to sleep. We will cover her with a blanket when it's cold in winter and fan her when it's hot in summer. We will never let her suffer any grievances!"
Pei Tianyu said: "Yes."
When Gu Rong heard this, he frowned silently and the corners of his mouth unconsciously twitched downwards.
Why do we need so many people?
He can take good care of Pei Tiantian by himself.
The joy I had originally felt about being able to rent a house near the school with Pei Tiantian had now faded.
Pei Tiantian didn’t know what Gu Rong was thinking. When she heard these words, she only felt the love her brothers had for her.
No one doesn't like the feeling of being held in the palm of one's hand. She is no exception.
Pei Tiantian curled her eyes and said, "Thank you, eldest and second cousins. No need to bother you. You should just focus on your studies. I only have brother Gu Rong. He takes care of me on weekdays. I'm used to it."
Gu Rong's mood became subtly happy, and the corners of his mouth curved up silently.
"Then let's do as Tiantian said and rent a house outside for the four children to live in."
Wang Ruizhen is not someone who is reluctant to spend money. Since the children in her family don’t want to live in the dormitory, she decides to rent a house.
"Zhiwen, Zhiqiang, I'll leave the renting of the house to you."
Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang were about to nod, but were interrupted by a voice: "Grandma, let's not rent a house, let's just buy one!"
These words were spoken with great pride. Pei Tiantian blinked her grape eyes and looked at the Pei family members who were speechless for a moment.
Wang Ruizhen looked at Pei Tiantian with a complicated expression: "Tiantian, do you know how expensive the housing prices in the city are? Seven or eight hundred per square meter. We have spent all the money we have, and we can only buy a small house, which is not enough for you four children to live in."
Pei Tiantian's smile remained unchanged. "Grandma, to be honest, I have some money here now. I can take out all my money, and then we can all pool our money together. It will definitely be enough to buy a big house!"
As she spoke, Pei Tiantian took her short legs and pretended to go to the room to get her money, but in fact she took out the tin box containing the money from her own space.
Pei Tiantian came in front of everyone with the heavy tin box in her two little hands and opened the lid.
At that moment, everyone in the Pei family looked at the iron box.
Pei Tiantian's tin box was filled with several thick stacks of blue four-person banknotes, which looked like tens of thousands of dollars.
"Tiantian, where did you get so much money?" Wang Ruizhen's first reaction was whether Pei Tiantian had picked up the money somewhere?
If this is found money, the owner would be very anxious.
Wan Cuilan said, "This is the money Tiantian earned from publishing her novel."
"No, the money is all here with me." Pei Zhiwen was also a little confused.
Pei Tiantian calmly put the tin box on the table, and then said to everyone: "There are 40,000 yuan in it, which I saved myself! Most of the money here is the dividends from the restaurant that Uncle Xie gave me."
"Dividends? Why would Xie Jiagui give you dividends?"
Pei Tiantian told the Pei family that she had previously lent money to Xie Jiagui for cash flow.
She also said that she now receives a 10% profit dividend every month.
After hearing this, Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan were really surprised.
They worked in Xie Jiagui's restaurant and could truly feel how good the business was there, with daily turnover of thousands of yuan.
Xie Jiagui has only been working in the city for a little over a year, but he has already bought several houses and even a car.
This shows that the Imperial Kitchen is really making money.
Now Pei Tiantian told them that they could get 10% of the imperial kitchen’s profits every month without doing anything.
This is too...
Pei Tiantian said: "With the money I have here and the money I got from my uncle, we can buy a big house in the city, and then our whole family can move to the city, okay?"
Pei Tiantian was thinking that if all the members of the Pei family took this opportunity to move to the city, then the incident later in the novel where Pei Zhiqiang had his leg broken by a mad cow in the village would not have happened.
This is really killing two birds with one stone.
However, Pei Zhiqiang disagreed: "If we move to the city, who will farm the land at home?"
Pei Zhiqiang sighed: "Although farming doesn't make money, at least there is income. I don't have any education, and I don't know what kind of job I can do in the city."
Pei Zhiqiang still has lingering fears about the fact that he almost lost his money in real estate investment before, and he dares not touch these things again. Although farming is a bit poor, as long as the land is still there, God will give you food.
After hearing what Pei Zhiqiang said, Pei Tiantian also understood Pei Zhiqiang's worries. He was afraid that he would not be able to find a job in the city.
