433 Chapter 433
Zheng Jiaxuan lingered at the door of Xinhua for a while, He was resting today, and came over to see if the manuscript was accepted here, but he was just an idea, he hadn't written anything yet, and he had a copy of today's newspaper in his hand, but he saw the serialization on it.
Nowadays, life is generally in a period of interweaving of the old and the new, the mixing of the East and the West, and the same is true of the textual expression, and there are not many young people who can read the ancient style articles patiently, but the articles that are completely vernacular are not written by everyone.
The serialization still stays on the story of the hero, Love and love are also a faction, but it is also more obscure and associative, more profound, and may be read and understood by future generations in textbooks in the future, there are many people reading it at this time, but in Zheng Jiaxuan's view, it is another feeling.
He just wants to inquire about how the current manuscript fee is calculated, if it is too cheap, it is better for him to go to the foreigner to gangster, at least he has no problem with the language, and the big cheat of mental power can top anything.
But when I saw the faΓ§ade of this publishing house, and saw a few people in it, I didn't know if I wanted to go in or not, and I asked who he was, he was so young, and I was afraid that no one would take his words seriously.
"What are you doing here?"
Zheng Jiaxuan was still a little unable to react when he was suddenly asked, and when he looked back, he found that Jiao Renmeng's figure had a good memory, and he remembered it after seeing it twice, and the other party got off the rickshaw and asked when he saw him.
"I'm here to ask if you want a manuscript here, and how much it will cost. Zheng Jiaxuan is not a timid person, and the wandering just now is just because he can't make up his mind, but he speaks fluently at this time, and he doesn't have the cringe of a poor family.
"Do you have a manuscript? children, what are you messing with here, read your book well, maybe you will have a future in the future. Jiao Renmeng was a little arrogant in his heart, and said angrily to Zheng Jiaxuan.
Before Zheng Jiaxuan could reply, he walked directly into the door of Xinhua, looking like a serious worker, without the irritability of how much ash was removed from a board.
Look, today's adults probably think this is what children of his age think.
Zheng Jiaxuan had expected such an attitude, but he was still a little uncomfortable when he really encountered it, and after thinking about it, it was really not that he had to worship foreign people, but at this time, it was better to mix with people outside than with his own people.
didn't prepare to go in and touch the ash again, Zheng Jiaxuan had already looked at another place, and as soon as his footsteps turned, he went over and asked if the other party needed a translator.
At his age, he is handsome and has a good temperament, and being a translator next to foreigners is much better than those little eyes who are not foreign.
After a few words, he successfully found an employer, and he even took the initiative to take the job of a tour guide, saying that he could take them to visit the cultural monuments of the area in the past two days.
He is very happy to do this job, I have to say, each era has its own charm, the new world has infinite possibilities, this feeling with the style of the times is still quite likable after eating and drinking.
However, he earned ten yuan in two days, which is already a large amount of income in ordinary people's homes, and you must know that a steamed bun is only two cents, and this money can already buy a lot of steamed buns.
When Aunt Zheng saw the money and knew the origin, her eyes immediately turned red, and she began to cry when she hugged Zheng Jiaxuan's head, so distressed that he knew how hard it was to worry about raising a family at a young age.
"Actually, it's not hard," Zheng Jiaxuan embarrassedly moved his head away from the other party's arms, he was not really a child, so he threw himself into the arms of a woman, even if this woman was a mother, she would feel a little embarrassed, "Just walk with you, talk, don't get tired." β
"Brother Jiaxuan, when did you learn a foreign language? I don't know, we don't teach it in school!" Zheng Jiaqian said to the point.
Friendship Middle School is a very ordinary middle school, its own form is not a complete subject system, that is the university will have, now everyone is studying those old textbooks in a unified way, the new course basically depends on the teacher's self-play, they like to talk about what they want, there are no standards and requirements at all.
"I learned it on my own. Zheng Jiaxuan had already found a way to fill in the loopholes, so he said this, in exchange for Zheng Jiaqian's admiring eyes of "Brother Jiaxuan is so powerful!".
In the evening, Aunt Zheng opened the fire for her house alone, she bought meat, braised it for several children to eat, not much, two or three pieces per person, and soon the plate was empty.
Zheng Jiaxuan hasn't been so hungry for meat for a long time, Aunt Zheng's cooking is really delicious, the braised pork looks very good in color, and it tastes good, he was a little hungry after eating a piece, but he still gave the second piece to Aunt Zheng who watched them eat.
Aunt Zheng had tears in her eyes again, and said, "You eat, you eat more, I've eaten everything, but I can't eat it now." β
This kind of lie from her mother always makes people helpless, Zheng Jiaxuan didn't say much, and directly stuffed the meat into her mouth, Aunt Zheng chewed with tears, looking at Zheng Jiaxuan, the corners of her mouth were upturned.
Maybe it's because the excitement brought by this meal of meat is too great, and she goes to bed a little late at night, Zheng Cai has been pestering Zheng Jiaxuan to ask how she got the money, and she asked about those gringos, Zheng Jiaxuan didn't tell her too much, not all foreign countries are friends, there are always bad things among them, if Zheng Cai has too many illusions, she may suffer in the future.
In short, the children at this time are all good to send away, and when they say "still young", they will consciously put their hopes on "growing up", and they will no longer think about those who have or not, and naturally they will not think about the hardships.
Zheng Jiaxuan was in a good mood, it was rare that he didn't practice today, and when he opened his eyes in the middle of the night, he heard the girl's voice again and saw the shadow of the tree shining into the house.
Not again.
The door was pushed open, and the same dim light shone in, along with the shadow of the woman, the woman walked in with something, and was not surprised to see Zheng Jiaxuan awake, and put the thing down, it was a plate of braised pork and a steamed bun.
When the woman saw him get up, she smiled at him, her thin and deformed face didn't look good, and even her smile looked a little weird and scary.
"Mother's good son, get up and eat meat, and steamed buns, the white-flour steamed buns you like to eat, my mother specially left them for you. The woman sat on the edge of the bed, put the plate on the edge of the window, broke the steamed bun, and put the meat pieces in the steamed bun with chopsticks.
Mother?
Zheng Jiaxuan noticed the title, so... He thought of "The Legend of the Ghost Mother", so, this is his other mother?
The original owner didn't have this incident in his memory, but he knew that since it happened, it must not be for no reason. It's not surprising at this time, after all, the other party is still good to himself.
"Won't my mother eat it?" Zheng Jiaxuan asked along with her words, let go of the steamed bun, and said tentatively, "I ate it at night, and this is for my mother." β
The woman also looked excited, stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hug Zheng Jiaxuan, but she still didn't hug it, and handed over the steamed bun with meat, saying, "You eat first, my mother watched you eat." β
is always kind, plus Zheng Jiaxuan's dinner is indeed half full, and when he saw the food at this time, he was really hungry, so he divided the steamed bun into two halves, gave half to the woman, and said, "Eat together, half for one person." β
"Okay, let's eat together. The woman smiled and bit the steamed bun, her eyes stared at Zheng Jiaxuan, and she saw that he was also eating, bending her eyes and laughing.
Even if the smile was as weird, it was much better than the cold expression before.
"Mom, what are you eating, I'm going to eat too!"
The voice of the eight or nine-year-old girl suddenly came out of the bedside, Zheng Jiaxuan was startled, and was about to look down, the woman moved, stomped her foot and made a dull sound, turned her head to look at Zheng Jiaxuan, and said, "It's okay, you eat slowly." β
Zheng Jiaxuan's steamed bun only ate two bites, and then saw that the woman's hand was empty, the steamed bun just now seemed to be gone in a blink of an eye, he was strange in his heart but didn't ask, answered, and continued to eat, and soon finished eating, and was persuaded by the woman to lie down and sleep, he obediently closed his eyes, feeling that the darkness was restored again.
"Mom is eccentric, why don't you give me food?!"
"Otherwise, I'll play with my brother and won't let me eat meat!
"I don't care, I don't care, I just want to eat meat, I just want to eat meat!"
"Otherwise, I'll go play with my brother!"
The sound downstairs seemed to be a girl's one-man show, Zheng Jiaxuan never heard another voice, maybe he was used to such a strange environment, he closed his eyes, and fell asleep for a while.
Zheng Jiaxuan got up early again in the morning, and he didn't wait for Aunt Zheng to come over and tell them to get up, he put on his clothes and went out, ready to exercise in the garden, this body is too poor, this physical strength gap is unable to make up for mental strength, and he can only start with the simplest exercise and exercise slowly.
It may be too early, the air is humid and full of fog, Zheng Jiaxuan trotted around, and then walked back breathlessly, the staircase from the second floor to the attic was in a dark place, it was a ladder that could be put away, and it could be closed directly as a door.
He saw that there seemed to be a person standing next to the ladder, it was too dark to see who it was, and as he approached, the man suddenly popped out and smiled at him.
It was a young woman, dressed in an old-fashioned dress and skirt, with bangs, and when she laughed, she showed her slightly yellowish teeth, and called at him, "Brother." β
That look a little silly, Zheng Jiaxuan was stunned for a moment, I don't know where this came from, obviously bigger than him, before he asked, the woman leaned her neck, rolled her eyes and fell, "Bang", the floor shook.

When I wrote the first chapter, I was scared myself, but it was really at night that someone closed the door outside, and the sound was quite loud, which scared me when I was immersed in the text, and I really shouldn't write this after dark, scare myself.
Let's talk about the setting here, the setting of the manuscript fee is not a thousand words, in the first chapter, Mrs. Ge and Shanshan said that they mocked Jiao Renmeng for not having the ability and not making money.
I hope you enjoy it!
Save the manuscript above!
