Lin Hexiao was not surprised. She and Wu Ji had broken off their engagement. Wu Ji and Liang Qian were in love with each other, and both families were from the same compound.
To be honest, Liang Qian's family has a deeper background than Wu Ji's family.
Their Lin family can't compare to them.
It was probably because of this that Mother Wu allowed Wu Ji and Liang Qian to continue their relationship.
Lin Hexiao didn't care about what was happening outside. He received the dividends from the Little People's Bookstore every month and saved them in his own small treasury.
Yesterday her brother gave her ten dollars and told her to buy some snacks for herself.
Lin Hexiao is saving it now.
Recently, she has been busy writing a short essay and is preparing to submit it to a magazine to see if it will be accepted by the editor.
This was my first time trying to write this, and I didn’t find it that difficult. I checked it several times before sending it to the post office.
In fact, she was also looking forward to it.
I was completely distracted at school this week and didn't even read picture books. I was just waiting for a reply from the magazine.
As a result, before the news from the magazine arrived, I heard people in the compound say that the marriage between the Wu and Liang families was scheduled for the twelfth month of this year.
Lin Hexiao couldn't help but feel emotional when she heard the news. She remembered in her previous life, when she heard that the senior brother was going to marry the junior sister.
He made a fuss for several days and even cruelly led the junior sister into the dense forest.
There are many ferocious beasts in that dense forest at night.
Now when I hear the news, I don’t feel any excitement at all.
Lin Hexiao smiled and felt relieved.
This is actually quite good, they have nothing to do with each other.
But this reminded her of Chu Mo who was far away in the base.
Her senior brother died for her in her previous life, so she should make up for it in this life.
I just don’t know how to write the letter, I have to find a reason.
Lin Hexiao thought about it and felt that the conditions there were difficult, so it would be nice to mail him some food.
After thinking about it, I went out and bought a lot of beef jerky, some candied fruits and many snacks.
Then attached was a letter thanking them for saving my life.
It wasn't just Chu Mo who saved her, so she couldn't just send things to Chu Mo alone.
Giving it to everyone also represents her little thought.
It was also a disguised way of improving Chu Mo's food.
She sent him a lot, so he always had something to eat.
After Lin Hexiao heard that her father had sent the items out, she also received a reply from the magazine.
There was actually twenty yuan in royalties in it.
The letter said that her essay had been requisitioned.
He also said that it was well written and could be developed into some short film stories.
The following is also attached: the royalties for the short stories.
The fee for a high-quality short story ranges from 30 to 50.
Lin Hexiao felt that this was not difficult for her at all. It would only take her one or two weeks to write a story of 50,000 or 60,000 words.
But writing by hand was too troublesome, so one time when she was shopping, she saw a typewriter.
She had some impression of this type of typewriter, because when the spacer first started writing novels, he seemed to have used this old typewriter, and later it gradually became more advanced computers.
Lin Hexiao thought about buying one to try it out himself, to get familiar with it and see if he could use it.
When Lin Hexiao came back this week, after dinner, he handed them an essay on the third page of a magazine and said, "Mom and Dad, take a look at this essay. What do you think?"
Mother Lin looked at the TV in front of her, adjusted her seldom-worn glasses, lowered her head and read carefully, and after a moment she said, "Well, not bad, this article is well written."
Mr. Lin also took it and took a look, and said it was good.
Seeing that his parents both said it was good, Lin Hexiao smiled smugly and said, "Look at the pen name below."
"Wangchen? What is this?"
"This is mine, after all. I wrote this article. I've been reading a lot of comic books lately, and I wanted to write a story myself. I specially found a magazine solicitation, wrote an article, and sent it in with trepidation. I didn't expect it to be accepted, and they mailed me a twenty-yuan fee." Lin Hexiao paused and quickly showed his parents the reply from the magazine. While they were reading, he said, "Mom and Dad, they said I could try short stories. I thought a short story would cost tens of thousands of yuan, so I wanted to buy a typewriter."
Mother Lin suddenly smiled and nodded. "It's not easy for you to get a typewriter, kid. I'll get it for you. My company just purchased a batch of new ones recently. I'll buy you a new one from them. It's cheaper than the market price."
"No, Mom, an old one will do. We've used it before and just wanted to try it out to see if it works."
"How much can a typewriter cost? Let's buy a new one. Dad doesn't know yet that my daughter has such potential. She has such good literary talent that any article she writes can be accepted by a magazine.
Your parents support you in this matter. Just tell them what you want. Your parents are waiting for you to write a good article.
Lin Hexiao didn't expect that her parents agreed as soon as she opened her mouth.
I was secretly a little happy and was already thinking about what kind of story I should write.
After talking to his parents, Lin Hexiao excitedly went upstairs and started thinking about his article.
Downstairs, Mother Lin held Father Lin's arm with relief and said, "Old Lin, have you noticed that since the child suffered this ordeal, he has become much more sensible. Look, not only has he completely forgotten about Wu Ji, he has also learned to earn money to save for his dowry."
"I'm afraid that she'll regret breaking off the engagement and start making a fuss after she remembers it later."
"Now I hope she never thinks about how wonderful and well-behaved a daughter she is."
"Yes, but who can say for sure about such things? Right now, as long as my daughter is happy, we will give in to whatever she wants. It's not an excessive request."
"Yes, the child is sensible now. We have nothing to worry about. We just have to wait for him to meet a man who is truly good to him in the future."
"Yes, the Wu and Liang families have only called off their engagement a few days ago, and they've already set the wedding date. Xiaoxiao can't fall behind."
"Why would I want to compare myself with other people? I still want to keep Xiaoxiao at home for a few more years. Anyway, Xiaoxiao hasn't graduated yet. Once she graduates and gets her salary, she'll meet more people and broaden her horizons. She won't have trouble finding a good one. We have a lot of good ones in our army."
Mother Lin felt that her husband was right. Their daughter had such an accident, and they and her husband had almost lost half their lives. Naturally, they wanted their daughter to stay with them for a few more years and take good care of her. After all, their son was still uncertain. Otherwise, they could wait until their son got married and then find a partner for their daughter. Their daughter was so good, so they didn't have to worry about not finding someone better than Wu Ji. "You are right, I will listen to you."
