Time flies like a white horse, and the time of the day flows away again in the busyness.

In the afternoon, after reading the statistical data, Xia Yu was very satisfied.

The total number of deliveries reached 270,000, of which 180,000 copies were taken by major newsstands, 20,000 more than yesterday.

Moreover, Xia Yu estimates that the influence of Jin Yong's recommendation has not yet completely spread, and in the next few days, the assistance given by "Ming Pao" alone will continue to increase sales for "Jiuding Daily".

After sharing the data with the employees again and improving their sense of honor and belonging to the company again, Xia Yu announced that he would leave work.

After that, he picked up the collected "Ming Pao", took these issues of "Jiuding Daily" at the same time, and went to HSBC to withdraw 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then walked home.

After returning home, Xia Yu tutored his younger brothers and sisters in their studies, and it was almost time for dinner.

When he saw that the food was almost over, Xia Yu called out to his father who wanted to leave the table, and then took out a stack of newspapers under the puzzled eyes of his parents.

Looking at Xia Yu's strange movements, Xia Dahai asked, "Ayu, what's the matter with you?"

Hearing Xia Dahai's words, Xia's mother Chen Mei also looked over, and even her younger brothers and sisters looked at Xia Yu curiously.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I have good news to tell you." ”

Hearing that it was good news, Xia Dahai became interested, but looking at the newspaper Xia Yu was holding in his hand, he was also a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do.

Seeing his father's embarrassment, Xia Yu came to his senses, because his family was poor when he was a child, his parents had never read any books, and he could not recognize many words, it was almost impossible for them to understand the newspaper, and Xia Dahai had never bought a newspaper.

"Dad, I'll read it to you!" Xia Yu said immediately.

"Good. Xia Dahai said happily.

Then, Xia Yu began to read the comments written by Jin Yong.

It didn't take long for Xia Yu to finish reading, Xia Dahai and Chen Mei and his wife were both puzzled, and they didn't know why Xia Yu was reading this.

Of course Jin Yong and they know that although they have never bought a newspaper because of their cultural level, they have all heard others talk about it, and Xia Yu also liked to read Jin Yong's books when he was a child, and there was a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Xia Yu's bedside, of course they knew who Jin Yong was.

Of course, Xia Dahai also heard a high-frequency word in Xia Yu's mouth, that is, "Xun Qin Ji", and he also heard it, this is a novel, and Jin Yong gave high praise to this novel.

In addition, Xia Yu's name also appears in this passage, and it is also closely related to "Xun Qin", which is the author of this novel.

It's just, why is Xia Yu thinking about this?

Xia Dahai and Chen Mei didn't know what Xia Yu meant, they didn't dare to associate their son with Xia Yu in Jin Yong's mouth, after all, they never knew that their son had written a novel, and they just thought that the pronunciation of this person's name was the same as that of their son.

They didn't know why Xia Yu read this, but Xia Ming on the side understood, and at this time, his little face was full of excitement, and his eyes looking at Xia Yu were full of admiration.

His parents didn't know "Xun Qin Ji", but of course he knew that this was a novel written by his brother, and he waited until his brother finished writing it every day in the past few days to read it, how could he not be familiar with it?

It's just that he didn't expect that the novel written by his brother had already been published, and he was praised by Jin Yong, the grandmaster of martial arts novels, and he was so excited that he couldn't find the north.

My brother is so powerful!

Seeing the puzzled eyes of his father and mother, Xia Ming wanted to say that "Xun Qin Ji" was written by his brother, but he promised his brother that he couldn't say it, so he looked at his brother Xia Yu first, and after seeing his brother nod, he immediately said excitedly: "Dad, Mom, "Xun Qin Ji" was written by my brother! Jin Yong said that Xia Yu is referring to his brother. ”

What the?!

"Looking for Qin", which was praised by Jin Yong, was actually written by his eldest son Xia Yu?

And the young genius who was praised by Jin Yong is also his son Xia Yu?

How can it be!

Xia Dahai and Chen Mei's eyes widened, and then they couldn't be shocked, and immediately looked at their eldest son Xia Yu, who had always been the pride of their hearts.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, I wrote this novel. Xia Yu nodded with a smile and said.

"You see, it's been serialized in the newspaper for a few issues. Saying that, Xia Yu raised the issues of Jiuding Daily in his hand again, and then handed it to his younger brother Xia Ming, asking his younger brother to confirm, after all, his parents couldn't recognize him.

Xia Ming took the newspaper in his brother's hand, and soon found the novel on it, which was "Xun Qin Ji", and he said happily: "Mom and Dad, this is true, it's in this newspaper!"

"I'll see, come and show me. Xia Dahai's face bloomed with joy, and he took the newspaper in his youngest son's hand and looked at it, although he didn't know many words, he didn't care, he just needed to know that it was his son's novel.

Looking at the happy appearance of his parents from the bottom of his heart, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile, this kind of smile was too familiar to him, and his parents were like this smile every time he got three good students in his previous life.

"Okay, good! The novel written by my son has been published in the newspaper, and even Jin Yong said that it is okay, and my family is going to produce a great writer, and sure enough, it is the same as the master said, my son is a literary and opera star! Haha!" Xia Dahai laughed, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and his eyes looking at Xia Yu were full of pride.

Chen Mei on the side was already wiping her tears, but her face showed a happy smile, her eyes were full of happiness when she looked at Xia Yu, her son had become a talent, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing the appearance of his parents, Xia Yu felt that his eyes were a little sour, and he couldn't help but raise his head and blink, not wanting to let himself cry.

At this time, Xia Yu thought that he had withdrawn the money back, so he stood up and said to his parents and entered the room, then took out a black strap and put it on the table to open it, and two stacks of banknotes suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Chen Mei couldn't help but want to scream at first, but immediately covered her mouth, while Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei, the two siblings, stared at the two stacks of money on the table with wide eyes.

In the end, Xia Dahai came back to his senses first, but he still looked at Xia Yu in shock and said, "Ayu, what's going on?"

"That's right, Ah Yu, where did you get this money, don't scare your mother!" Chen Mei hurriedly said nervously, so much money is more than the family's savings, and he is very worried that Xia Yu's money was obtained illegally.

"Mom and Dad, don't think too much, the 20,000 yuan is the manuscript fee for my novel, and I earned it myself. Xia Yu hurriedly explained.

"Really?" Xia Dahai swallowed and said in shock.

"It's true, I can't lie to anyone!" Xia Yu assured, just after speaking, he felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, he deceived his parents, but in order to let his parents accept it and not worry about him, he could only tell this white lie.

"How can there be so much, is it so profitable to write novels?" asked Chen Mei uneasily.

"It's true, it's still the first money, and as long as I keep writing, there will be more in the future. Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, my son is amazing, hahaha!" Xia Dahai laughed excitedly again.

"Don't laugh so loudly, don't be heard, I'll put the money away first, and then give Ah Yu a wife to you." Chen Mei counted down Xia Dahai, who was laughing, and then nervously tied the bag tightly again, for fear that the money would be found out and taken away by others.

"Ah Ming, Xiaomei, you can't tell the money thing, you know?" Chen Mei told her youngest son and youngest daughter.

"Well, don't worry, Mom, we won't talk nonsense. Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei nodded hurriedly.

Although they are young, the children of the poor are relatively precocious, and they also know that the money cannot be known to outsiders, otherwise something will happen.

"Mom, you can use this money as you like, there will be it after a while, you buy more delicious food for Ah Ming and Xiaomei to replenish their bodies, you are the same, don't worry about money in the future, I will work hard to earn it." Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Okay. Hearing her eldest son's words, Chen Mei looked at her husband and found that her husband also nodded, she hesitated and said.

Although Xia Yu is her son, but because of personality problems, Chen Mei does not have any opinions, and listens to her husband at home.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, I will always be busy during this time, this "Jiuding Daily" is run by someone else with me, and I also have to go to work at the newspaper, so I will only come back at night. Xia Yu said again.

He still didn't say anything about dropping out of school right away, after all, it's still early to leave school, and he's not in a hurry, so let his parents get used to it slowly, and then he will have no opinion.

And now, he also took the opportunity to talk about the newspaper as well, after all, the newspaper industry now basically knows that "Jiuding Daily" is his, and it will definitely reach the ears of his parents in the future, so it is better to get a preventive shot in advance.

But in order to avoid his parents being too shocked, he still changed his words and said that he did it with others, which is also more convincing, otherwise when his parents asked him where the money for the newspaper came from, it would be difficult to explain, and it was easy to make his parents worried.

"You also run a newspaper with someone else?" Xia Dahai asked again, his son surprised him too much tonight, and he was already a little numb.

"Yes, I took a stake in this novel, and I contributed money from others, but I only took a small part of the newspaper's shares, most of which belonged to others. Xia Yu explained.

"No wonder you've been running out during the day. ”

"That's it, then Ayu, you have to work hard, don't let other people's money go down the drain, it's sorry for others. Xia Dahai admonished.

"Eun, don't worry, Dad. Xia Yu nodded again and again and reassured.

......

After that, after the family chatted again, Xia Yu went back to the room.

"Hoo ......"

Lying on the bed, Xia Yu exhaled, now he can finally be free, because he had to explain to his parents every morning and evening, he can finally use it in the future.

And it is also a big step to talk to parents about dropping out of school.

Everything is developing in a predetermined direction.
