On September 1, the middle school opened. Come to the school and find a new grade level classroom. Before class, Andrew exchanged some interesting facts about his summer life with his classmates. After that, the official class started, the student party returned to reality, and another school year began.

During the lunch break, Andrew went to the varsity training ground, sat on the bench on the sidelines, and chatted with some teammates who usually intersected.

After chatting for a while, a senior who was not usually very familiar with came over, greeted everyone, came to Andrew, looked at Andrew's face suspiciously, and asked:

"Are you Andrew Smith?"

Andrew stood up and responded casually: "I'm Andrew Smith, senior, do you have anything to do with me?"

The senior's strange performance attracted the attention of several teammates next to him, and they all stood up and turned their heads to look.

After getting Andrew's confirmation, the senior asked with a little excitement: "Have you written a novel called "Football Boys"?"

Andrew was stunned, the matter of writing the book would be made public sooner or later, and there was nothing to keep secret, so now the senior asked and responded calmly: "Yes, it has only been on sale for a few days." ”

"Ahh The senior said excitedly, then took out a new book of "Football Boys" from his satchel, took out a signature pen, and asked Andrew to sign the cover of the new book.

Andrew didn't expect such a situation to arise and was not mentally prepared. But it was still refreshing to sign autographs for the first book fans.

The teammates next to him, seeing such a situation, had already gathered around and asked in surprise:

"Andrew, you kid has written a book. ”

"Andrew, what type of novel do you write?"

The liveliness here attracted the attention of the surrounding students, and those who called friends gathered around.

Andrew saw this situation and knew that staying here would be a lot of trouble. And I didn't have much psychological preparation before, and I didn't know how to deal with it, so I had to urinate and walk away.

How should I deal with this kind of thing, will it affect my study and life? Andrew is a little overwhelmed, this is a matter of public relations, and the memory of his previous life does not know about this aspect of the matter.

Well, by the way, my father Allen is in charge of the hotel, and I should know more about this public relations matter.

After school, Andrew hurriedly packed his schoolbag and returned home. I was anxious to go home and discuss with my family.

In the evening, the family gathered to listen to Andrew's account of troubles and worries, and the family all pondered.

Father Allen knew more about this matter, took the lead in sorting out his thoughts, and asked Andrew a few related questions:

Allen: Andrew, will you continue to write in the future?

Andrew: Will continue to write.

Allen: Since Andrew will continue to write, it is possible to become a well-known fiction writer in the future. After becoming famous, there will be situations where you face your book fans in public, and do you feel disgusted with the normal requirements of book fans, such as autographs, group photos, etc.?

Andrew: The normal requirements of book lovers, such as autographs, group photos, etc. I don't have any disgust in my heart, and in my opinion, because book fans like my work, they will sign autographs, take group photos, etc., which is a recognition of my work.

Allen: Since you don't resent the normal demands of book lovers in your heart, it means that you are worried that the behavior of book lovers will disturb the original rhythm of your life and learning.

Andrew: yes, it's just worrying about that.

Knowing Andrew's inner thoughts, his father Alan had a countermeasure in his heart.

"Andrew, the behavior of a book lover will definitely disturb the original rhythm of your life and learning to a certain extent, which is the price of fame.

But you don't need to worry too much, because you are a fiction writer, not an idol star, you don't need to face the public frequently, and you don't have many opportunities to take the initiative to appear in front of the public.

Moreover, the scope of your life and study is relatively narrow, and you are only facing two or three hundred students and teachers in your school and nearby neighbors. Knowing that you write a book, starts, is a little fresh, will follow, and may be disturbing. After a few days, the novelty passes, and if you don't pay attention, there will be no interruptions.

The most important thing for you to feel troubled is that you were not mentally prepared for this situation and did not know how to deal with it.

In fact, as long as you are mentally prepared, it is not difficult to deal with it. To put it simply, isn't it just a kind expression, a good attitude, a courtesy hug, and an autographed photo!"

I listened to my father's analysis and countermeasures. Andrew thought about it, yes, I'm writing novels, and it takes years to write this book, and there's no constant news to dig up. Without constant freshness, there is no attention and no interruptions.

I usually have limited access to a limited number of people, and there are not many people who pay attention to my writing, and these people who pay attention to my writing are all required to sign as a souvenir, and it doesn't take much effort!

Philistines disturb themselves.

Having figured out the joints, Andrew thanked his father for his teachings. When the family saw that the matter was resolved, they were all happy.

Finally, Allen reminded Andrew that since he already has a little popularity, he should pay attention to his usual behavior. Don't do anything that violates school discipline and goes beyond the student's behavior, so that the news does not continue.

The next day, Andrew arrives at the school, and the news that Andrew has written and released a novel has spread through the school.

Along the way, most of the classmates who knew Andrew came forward and asked about writing the book, and after being amazed, there was no follow-up.

Only some students who bought the new book "Football Boys" will ask for autographs when they know that Andrew is the author. Mentally prepared, Andrew enthusiastically signed autographs for these classmates and blessed each other.

After easily coping with the attention of his classmates, Andrew replied to be a member of the ordinary students.

The truth is indeed as my father analyzed, there is nothing to worry about, and it takes a little effort to deal with the past.

During the lunch break, Andrew, who has no trouble of his own, is going to trouble the music teacher at the school.

"Eternal Mother" also has tunes in several places, and it doesn't sing smoothly. Andrew couldn't solve it, so he had to ask the teacher for help.

Angela, a music teacher in her thirties, listened to Andrew's request. As a mother, Angela admires Andrew's filial piety. He said he would do his best to help, and in a week, he would come to pick up the score.

After receiving the manuscript and score of the poem "Eternal Mother" from Andrew, Andrew thanked the teacher and left.

Out of appreciation for Andrew's behavior, Angela decided to give up her lunch break, sit down, and read the poem "Eternal Mother", which made Angela cry.

The poems are full of children's heartfelt attachment and praise for maternal love.

Teacher Angela, who empathizes, recited it several times in a row, and at this moment burst into tears and immersed herself in the artistic conception of the poem.

A week later, Angela finished composing the music for "Eternal Mother", and Andrew auditioned it for the new score, well, smooth, and good.

Andrew is grateful to Angela for her help in making her wish come true as scheduled.

In the face of Andrew's thanks, Teacher Angela said that she did not need to thank her. It is an honor to be able to enjoy such sincere poetry.

In mid-September, the publisher's first-week sales figures for "Soccer Juniors" came out, with a total of 5,200 copies sold. The sales results are okay, within the expectations of the publishing house.

Andrew doesn't care much about this sales performance, just perform normally, newcomers and new works!

Andrew enjoyed his peaceful study life. Studying seriously, actively participating in school activities, playing football in your spare time, reading books, humming songs, and occasionally writing new book chapters, everything is so beautiful.

On September 25, the news came from the publishing house that "Football Boy" was reprinted for the first time. This time, 20,000 copies will be printed, and Andrew will receive the balance of the first printing and the remuneration for the first printing from the publisher, totaling £4,720.

According to the market research report of the publishing house, the audience of "Football Boys" is mainly teenagers, and the reading experience is well evaluated, and there are signs of gradual best-selling.

On September 29th, the birthday of her mother Ruth, the family members came forward to give birthday gifts and hugged Ruth to congratulate her on a happy birthday. Andrew, who was pulled at the end, was empty-handed, as if he hadn't prepared a birthday gift, and the family couldn't help but feel surprised.

At this time, Andrew's long-prepared performance began, he came to his mother, took his mother's hand, and sang the song "Eternal Mother" affectionately:

When the first time I opened my newborn eyes

The first thing I saw was the incomparable holiness of the Mother of Man

Loving gaze and tears of joy

Eyes don't blink, staring at you carefully

Your hazy and ignorant heart beats instinctively

But he couldn't express his affection, and only his limbs danced wildly

You are in a hurry - you can't help but cry out loud

After many days and nights of nurturing

Finally sit up straight, your little body

After adjusting for EQ and IQ

Never wait to shout straight out of life

The first voice of the most precious - Mom

This is the most touching primitive accumulation

No matter how many languages are spoken in the world

Only this one cry is absolutely the same

There's no music, there's no poetry

It could be more moving than this one-Mom

Listening to Andrew's affectionate chanting, mother Ruth couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help but hold Andrew's hand tightly. The scene from the birth of the child to the slow growth of the child from time to time surfaced in front of tears.

When the last "Mom" was sung, Andrew hugged his mother and said softly in his mother's ear: "Mother has worked hard, I will always love you." ”

Mother Ruth took Andrew's hands and said to Andrew with tears streaming down her face, "I love you forever, my dear little Andrew."

The family members surrounding the side watched this scene and couldn't help but applaud in praise. For her mother, Ruth, it was a birthday night of a lifetime.
