When Zhang Miaomiao heard this title, she suddenly became angry.
"Do you still want to read this letter?" Seeing Zhang Miaomiao covering her mouth angrily, Qin Shan poked her cheek and smiled.
"Give it to me. I'll read it myself." Being interrupted by Qin Shan, Zhang Miaomiao was no longer nervous.
Qin Shan didn't follow Zhang Miaomiao's wishes. He smiled and said, "Let me read it for you, lest you tear the letter out of nervousness." With his height advantage, he opened the letter by himself.
Zhang Miaomiao knew that Qin Shan liked to tease her. The more she wanted to believe, the more he wouldn't let her. So she stopped asking and watched Qin Shan open the letter.
The postman's mouth moved. He wanted to stop her, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Grandma Qin watched the development of the matter. At first, she wanted to beat her grandson several times, but now she was staring at Zhang Miaomiao and Qin Shan in a daze. She thought that her grandson and Miao Miaomiao were really a good match.
Qian Dahua hit him a few times, but Qin Shan dodged it. Later, when she saw that Zhang Miaomiao was acquainted with such a loafer, her face darkened. But on second thought, if Zhang Miaomiao made a mistake, she would have the opportunity to teach her a lesson. Suddenly, it became lively.
"Wow, Young Vegetable Seedling, you are really good." Qin Shan read ten lines at a glance and was immediately impressed.
Zhang Miaomiao didn't wait for Qin Shan to speak. She jumped up and grabbed the envelope, then she read it herself.
The content of the letter was very short.
It meant that the Youth Digest had included her novel. It would be serialized in the next issue, and each issue would have three thousand words. The royalties were calculated at ten yuan per thousand words. For the fifty thousand words she submitted before graduation, the royalties were five hundred yuan in total. There was a money order in the envelope. However, the publishing house also said that he had to provide another 50,000 words before the summer vacation.
For this novel, Zhang Miaomiao planned to have 200,000 words. Previously, he had provided an outline of the manuscript and stated the word count. At that time, Zhang Miaomiao was just giving it a try, but she didn't expect that it would really be approved, and the royalties were so high.
Ten yuan for a thousand words was considered a top-notch price at that time. At that time, the average wage for workers was around thirty or forty. The highest price was only a hundred yuan. Zhang Miaomiao suddenly received 500 yuan, which was equivalent to a year's salary for an ordinary worker.
Qin Shan has a lot of money, but he is also stimulated by Zhang Miaomiao. Young Vegetable Seedling's words can make money. It's amazing! He had to work harder and find more ways to earn money.
The postman craned his neck and asked, "A female scholar? Did you pass? "
Zhang Miaomiao smiled and nodded. "Thank you, comrade."
The postman waved his hand. "Congratulations. When the book comes out, I'll buy it and read it. "After saying a few more words, the postman rode away on his bicycle.
Qin Shan was a little unhappy that Zhang Miaomiao was smiling so brightly at the postman. However, he had no reason to stop her at that moment, and he suddenly started to feel annoyed. Young Vegetable Seedling is so outstanding and beautiful, I have to hurry up and make a move.
Zhang Miaomiao took the letter and was about to enter the courtyard happily.
However, Qin Shan blocked Zhang Miaomiao with a foot. "Young Vegetable Seedling, congratulations."
Zhang Miaomiao suddenly remembered that Qin Shan had teased her and even hugged her. She thought that Qin Shan was still as annoying as before. "Hmph."
"What are you snorting at?" Qin Shan was puzzled.
"I'm snorting at you."
Qin Shan smirked. "Are you still angry that I hugged you just now?"
Zhang Miaomiao ignored Qin Shan and walked towards the kitchen.
Qin Shan stared at Zhang Miaomiao's back and couldn't help but rub his hands.
Today at the train station, Qin Shan had been feeling restless, so he told his friends to go back to town early. However, he didn't expect his grandmother to not be home today. After asking the neighbors next door, Qin Shan found out that his grandmother had gone to the countryside. Thinking that he was feeling restless, Qin Shan was worried that something had happened to Grandma Qin, so he rode his bicycle and rushed over.
From afar, Qin Shan saw Zhang Miaomiao talking to the postman in town.
Qin Shan immediately approached and heard the conversation. Seeing Zhang Miaomiao looking at the postman with anticipation, Qin Shan couldn't help but reach out and grab the letter. It was a complete accident that he hugged her from behind. Qin Shan was worried that the old lady's stick was blind and hit Zhang Miaomiao.
The moment he held Zhang Miaomiao's waist, Qin Shan really wished that time would stop forever. The feeling of holding her in his arms was better than he had imagined. Qin Shan stared at Zhang Miaomiao's back as she disappeared at the door. He didn't know when he could hug her again.
…
Qian Dahua suddenly stood in front of Qin Shan. "Who are you?"
Qin Shan squinted at Qian Dahua. "And who are you?"
Being asked by a junior, Qian Dahua's face suddenly darkened.
However, Grandma Qin slapped Qin Shan's face. "You little rascal, this is … this is Miao Miao's biological grandmother." Grandma Qin was a little embarrassed that she almost called him her grandmother.
Qin Shan immediately put away the arrogance on his face. "Nice to meet you, Grandma. I am Qin Shan."
Qian Dahua looked at Qin Shan with a weird expression. She thought that there was something wrong with this guy's brain. She didn't ask about what happened just now. She turned around and pulled Zhang Shugen away, walking towards her home.
Qin Shan was puzzled. "Grandma, what's going on?"
Grandma Qin didn't understand Qian Dahua's reaction, but she didn't understand why Qin Shan came back to Construction Village. "You little rascal, why are you here?"
"Grandma, why didn't you tell me that you are coming to Lady Hua's house?" Qin Shan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It's all because of you." Grandma Qin was annoyed and pulled Qin Shan to Lady Hua's house.
… …
"Third Sister, you … you wrote a novel?" Zhang Miaocao was leaning on the kitchen door when he heard their conversation.
Zhang Miaocao nodded. She was in a good mood. "Fourth Sister, study hard. I will save money for your school fees."
Zhang Miaocao's eyes lit up. "Can I go to high school and university?"
Zhang Miaocao was puzzled. "Of course. Why do you ask?"
"Mom wants me to go to technical secondary school after I graduate from junior high." Zhang Miaocao was embarrassed. "My grades are not that good. I might not be able to get into technical secondary school." Zhang Miaocao knew that her parents would not allow her to go to school if she could not get into technical secondary school. However, Zhang Miaocao still had a dream. She was looking forward to going to university like her Third Sister.
In recent years, technical secondary school was more popular than high school and university. After all, one could go to work after graduating from technical secondary school. When Zhang Miaomiao graduated from junior high, it was the start of the promotion of technical secondary school. This was one of the government's measures to deal with the shortage of talents. However, Zhang Miaomiao had always wanted to go to university. Therefore, she did not care about her family's request and enrolled in high school.
Hearing Zhang Miaocao's words, Zhang Miaomiao said. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I'm here. You will go to the county's high school and live with me. "
Zhang Miaocao stood up in shock. Her face was full of anticipation. "Third Sister, are you serious?"
"Yes." Zhang Miaomiao nodded seriously.
…
When Zhang Chengzong and Chen Xiuzhen came back, Zhang Miaomiao and Zhang Miaocao had just finished preparing lunch.
Chen Xiuzhen washed her hands and looked around the yard. She did not see Zhang Shugen and quickly went into the house. However, after looking around the house, she still did not see Zhang Shugen. Chen Xiuzhen ran out in a panic. "Old Zhang, Old Zhang, the tree root is gone. The tree root is gone."
Zhang Chengzong, who was drinking water, was so shocked that the bowl in his hand fell to the ground. He asked in panic, "How could it be gone? Was it at home when you left this morning? "
"Yes, it was." Chen Xiuzhen was panicking like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Zhang Chengzong calmed down after the initial panic. He asked Zhang Miaomiao, "Miao Miao, did you and Miao Cao see your brother?"
Zhang Miaomiao nodded. "He went to grandma's house."
