Chapter 43, Celebration
"Zhang Xuan, your letter."
On Sunday morning, during the second period break, Wei Wei called him at the door of the classroom.
When he came to the office, Wei Wei handed him two parcels and 13 remittance orders.
She exclaimed: "Looking at the speed at which you are making money, I suddenly feel that being a teacher is no longer interesting."
"No, you're no longer a teacher, what's the point of me being a student?"
After a perfunctory sentence, Zhang Xuan took the lead in opening the two parcels.
One postal package contained a sample of the "Zhiyin" magazine. This time there was no letter inside. It seemed that the wish to increase the royalties was in vain again.
Zhang Xuan was greatly disappointed and felt that the "Zhiyin" magazine was really a rip-off!
Another mail package also contained a book, a sample of "Youth Digest". The first time we cooperated, I also received a letter.
In the letter, people didn't praise him with flowers and flowers like his bosom friend.
Instead, he directly told Zhang Xuan: Because Zhiyin Magazine is a competitor, people have paid attention to the pen name "March" for a long time.
He expressed that he was very happy to see his contribution and asked if he would be interested in being a staff writer for one of their regular columns.
The person was very sincere, and the initial offer for the manuscript was 220 yuan per thousand words.
What’s even more gratifying is that the fee for the last submission has been calculated based on this price.
For a length of more than 5,200 words, the manuscript fee was 1,220 yuan.
When Zhang Xuan saw this, he was very satisfied, very satisfied. This is like an editor who does big things, not as stingy as Zhiyin Magazine.
What does it mean to buy bones with a thousand gold?
These two hundred and two thousand words are worth a thousand gold to buy bones! The purchase made him happy and made him feel a great sense of accomplishment!
Unknowingly, I also became famous in the world, and from now on I am also a famous person!
There is nothing more to say, just because of your sincere attitude, because "Youth Digest" is a bi-monthly publication, and because of the monthly royalties of more than 2,000 yuan.
I took this order!
As for Zhiyin Magazine, will there be any objections? If you have any opinions, leave them to me.
Damn it!
I am now a popular fried chicken. In ancient times, when I visited both sides of the Qinhuai River, I was also the person who was qualified to touch the little hands of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai.
He decided to write another article for Zhiyin Magazine in June. If he still doesn't understand and the manuscript fee is not increased, I will completely surrender to the enemy.
Bah, what the hell!
I treat myself like an onion, but you don’t treat me like an onion, so how can we still have fun together?
Feeling extremely happy and comfortable in his heart, Zhang Xuan handed the letter from "Youth Digest" to Wei Wei and said sternly:
"Old class, look, look, if you encounter difficulties outside in the future, you can directly report your student's name. Now we can count it as a trick."
Hearing his shameless boasting, Wei Wei smiled slightly and reached out to take the letter.
After collecting the remittance slip from "Youth Digest", Zhang Xuan began to check other amounts.
The remuneration for "Zhiyin" magazine is 779 yuan.
There are 11 remittance orders left:
There are 3 tickets for 50 yuan.
There is one ticket for 60 yuan.
There are 4 tickets for 40 yuan.
There are 2 tickets for 30 yuan.
Finally, there is one for 20 yuan.
13 remittance orders totaled 2,319 yuan.
2319 yuan! What a lot of money!
Looking at the number on the paper, Zhang Xuan felt that the hard work this week was a bit hard, but it was still worth it, very worth it!
There are still three weeks left in May, so he decided to finish this month in a hurry. Next month, he will stop these scattered urban registrations and concentrate on sprinting for the college entrance examination.
Wei Wei finished reading the letter and only said one sentence happily: "It's Sunday today. I'll go out to buy some food. You can cook it at noon. Call Mi Jian and Du Shuangling too. This is the highlight of your life and deserves to be celebrated." !”
"Hey!" Zhang Xuan responded happily and hurriedly said: "I'm treating you, I'm treating you, I have money today, I'm not short of money!"
Wei Wei stared at him for a few seconds and then smiled: "No, the teacher is celebrating his students, and it's not your turn to pay for it."
In order to maintain his self-esteem, she then said: "If you want to treat me, study hard and get a high score in the college entrance examination. If you don't treat me then, I will ask you to treat me."
"Okay, that's it." Unaware of the class teacher's kindness, Zhang Xuan agreed readily without being pretentious.
Wei Wei went shopping for groceries while she still had some time.
Zhang Xuan brought the book into the classroom and gave the sample book directly to Du Shuangling as before.
Seeing the sudden appearance of a "Youth Digest" on the table, Du Shuangling asked happily: "Have you made a special appointment for another magazine?"
Zhang Xuan nodded and whispered: "Aren't you awesome?"
"Yeah, awesome." Du Shuangling looked at him quietly, with a smile in her eyes.
He shamelessly poked his head over: "Look, because of my contribution, your collection of books is growing. Is there any reward?"
Du Shuangling pursed her lips, "What reward do you want?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xuan sat down and said, "I have a headache. Please give me a massage."
Du Shuangling stopped talking or giving him a massage. Instead, she opened "Youth Digest" and started looking for his articles.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan said unhappily, "What's wrong? Are you treating me coldly like this?"
Du Shuangling squirmed slightly, but still didn't respond, lowered her head and continued to turn the pages of the book.
Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but touch her with his elbow, "If you do this again, I will give the book to Lilith next time."
Du Shuangling just laughed after hearing this and didn't take his advice at all.
Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and changed his name: "I'll give you that little girl, Xiao Shaowan."
When it came to Xiao Shaowan, the woman finally responded this time. She stopped turning the page and said, "Okay, do you want me to help you?"
Zhang Xuan supported his head with his left hand, blinked and asked, "Are you really willing to help?"
"Well, I've never said no to you." After saying this, Du Shuangling raised her head and looked at him and said, "How do you want me to help you this time?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xuan leaned his head over and pointed at his temples: "Hey, I've made people stupid in my writing recently. Please help me rub it."
After hearing this, Du Shuangling remained motionless, but her fingers that tugged on the pages of the book quietly relaxed.
Zhang Xuan urged: "You said you wanted to help me, why didn't you?"
She lowered her head and continued to turn the pages. After a while, she whispered: "There are too many people in the classroom."
Zhang Xuan beat the snake and put it on the stick, "You mean you can give me a massage in a place where there is no one around?"
The woman finally found his article and read a few paragraphs before speaking: "I can give you a massage, but the condition is that your book cannot be given to others in the future."
These words made Zhang Xuan amused, and then he stared at her, and finally said: "When you said this, shouldn't your face be red?"
Du Shuangling was very calm, and then her face turned red, and became redder and redder, from her face to her neck...
Seeing the changes in her face, Zhang Xuan stretched proudly and said: "Ah! The weather is so nice, just like your face, it's as red as a rosy color. You really don't know yourself, and you actually want to compete with me. Hou, can you compare?"
"De Xing~" Du Shuangling glanced at him, and a smile gradually filled Tuo Hong's face.
The lunch was eaten at Wei Wei's house. Zhang Xuan was in charge of the cooking and three women were helping.
I made slices of hot and sour fish, stir-fried beef with celery, braised pork trotters, a plate of pickled beans and stir-fried chili, and finally a three-fresh soup.
After putting the dishes on the table, taking off his apron and washing his hands, Zhang Xuan sat down and asked the three people who were already eating: "How does it taste? Is my skill good? How does it compare with those chefs in big hotels?"
Wei Wei was too lazy to tease him, holding a braised pig's trotter in her left hand and chewing on it.
Seeing that he was following his example, Mi smiled at him and continued to drink the three delicacies soup.
Du Shuangling was quite conscientious and not only gave him a bowl of rice, but also a bowl of soup.
When he took the chopsticks from her hand, Zhang Xuan was almost moved to tears and sighed pitifully: "Hey, you are still the best to me."
Then he said: "It would be better if you could pick me up some food."
After hearing this, Du Shuanglingyan smiled and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the braised pig's trotters for him. But when they saw Wei Wei and Mi Jian looking up at her while eating, they also chose to go along with it and ignore a certain man.
Zhang Xuan pretended to lament and thought, just ignore it, who doesn't know how to eat? I'm the best at eating meat...
So he rolled up his sleeves, moved his left and right hands together, and started eating.
