Chapter 31: A Small Step

"These... is a long fairy tale. Li Yiming pointed to "Meow Meow Shop" and said to his father, "I want to find a publishing house to see if I can publish it, but half of this story is new, so I will write it slowly, and I will see if I can write a volume first in the afternoon." ”

Li Jianguo picked up the small stack, flipped it twice, and said in surprise: "How many words do you want to write? How much is a volume? Aren't these enough?"

"Maybe 30,000 words. Li Yiming said a number vaguely.

"Then how can you still have time," Li Jianguo looked at those who said they wanted to send articles to the newspaper on the side, ".... That's a lot!"

Li Yiming swallowed the bun hard and drank half a sip of water: "Dad, alas, it's really inconvenient to not have a photocopier now, if I can't copy it once, I'll ......send it out."

"It's okay, I'll copy it for you!" Li Jianguo was inexplicably interested, people in this era are too interested in words.

Everyone has their own notebook, which is specially used to record famous sayings and aphorisms, transcribe lyrics, and write their experiences.

Books are the ladder of human progress, this is Gorky's famous quote, written on the title page of a notepad that Li Jianguo usually carries.

There is also a book that reads: From barbarism to civilization, from vulgarity to the sublime, books awaken the sleeping brain and revive the parched mind.

......

It can be said that the people of his time treated knowledge and books with an extremely sacred heart.

Li Jianguo didn't know what kind of content and stories those online articles were in his son's head, but just the information that was revealed was enough to make him feel awe.

Now, my son writes, and he writes stories that make children across China learn more efficiently, grow taller, and think healthier.

"You said you were going to copy a few copies, but your father's handwriting was practiced under your grandfather's slats. In the afternoon, I can take the unit to copy. Li Jianguo said proudly.

"Is the unit okay?" asked Li Yiming worriedly.

"How much can I do when I don't have to travel... Don't worry, others can't see me when I sit in the corner," Li Jianguo waved his hand disapplausively, "I don't need anything from the countryside to come up." ”

Li Yiming teased: "Therefore, state-owned units will not be able to compare with private enterprises in the future, just because of low efficiency." ”

Li Jianguo shook his head helplessly: "The main thing is that there is nothing to do, you and I don't want to do things, one person and one pit, what does it mean for you to rob other people's things, and it's not the kind that can't move things to help, you don't understand!"

Li Yiming closed his mouth, thought about it and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, your handwriting is better than mine, and I can keep the original manuscript, which can be auctioned in the future!"

Li Yiming patted the letter paper.

As for whether the editor will think that the handwriting of this "thirteen-year-old boy" is a bit old, it doesn't matter, the content comes first.

Now photocopying is also very high-tech and rare, and so on to 30 years later, everyone has a computer, and the printer seems to be cheap, at that time, I heard that the particularly rich local tyrant writers will return to the basics and pack some tender models, and let them code words for themselves at home every day, and a hard person will have to be more than 10,000 a day.

"Auction?" Li Jianguo heard a new word again.

"That's how to sell expensive things in the future, everyone gets together and you quote a price, I quote a higher price, so it's called an auction, and the one who does this is called an auction house!"

Li Yiming explained casually, and drank saliva to remove the greasy in his mouth.

"Dad, celebrity things are going to be very valuable. Li Yiming confidently pointed to those manuscripts, "In this way, if you sell tens of thousands of yuan or hundreds of thousands of yuan in the future, then are you willing to give them to people casually? I know they will not return the manuscript." ”

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? Li Jianguo gasped in surprise.

Seeing his son's confident face, Li Jianguo asked in a low voice, "Really?"

Li Yiming nodded: "That's right, you can use the money in a more useful place after selling it, if you send it now, it will definitely be gone in the future." They won't keep it. ”

Looking at his father's still stunned expression, Li Yiming smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's said in the story." ”

Li Jianguo sighed: "I didn't say that I didn't believe it! Then send me a copy." Love stays or not. ”

"You will also become a celebrity in the future!" Li Yiming replied with a smile.

Li Jianguo was slightly stunned, I also became a celebrity?

So how much is my manuscript worth?

My son's worth tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and I should be worth thousands of dollars when I am Lao Tzu, tsk, I am inexplicably excited to think about it.

Looking at his son's expression, Li Jianguo suddenly smiled and said, "But you have to send it, otherwise what will you ......do?"

As he spoke, he patted the manuscript and said in a slightly self-deprecating tone: "My words are also valuable? That's good, and it can be used to earn foreign exchange." ”

Li Yiming smiled and took another bite of the bun.

Li Jianguo looked at him, smiled with relief, stood up, took the towel and went out.

After a while, he came back with a basin of water, wrung a towel to wipe Li Yiming's face, and sat on the side: "What photocopier did you just say? Is it the kind used to print paper? The provincial supply and marketing cooperatives seem to have one." ”

"Well, it seems to be a product of a company called Xerox in the United States, you can put this paper in it, and it doesn't matter how many sheets you want to print. It's convenient, but the machine is expensive. ”

Li Yiming thought for a while, and then said: "This company is very powerful, it has a lot of technology that has been bought and plagiarized, and then it has grown into many very large companies,...... We can go to this company when we have a chance in the future. ”

Li Jianguo smiled, he only listened to what the child said, but since he was no longer aware of it, he would no longer put his father on the shelf.

The son has a lot of stories from decades in his head, and he has great pursuits, or for the country and the people, and he has to provide support as much as possible as a father.

"Have you figured out where to send it?" asked Li Jianguo.

"I haven't thought about it yet. ”

"I'll help you go to the post office in the afternoon and ask, they may have a submission address. When Li Jianguo said about the post office, his face suddenly looked slightly strange.

"Dad... You don't want to go to that person, do you?" Li Yiming seemed to see something.

"I've got to know who's going to stop your letter so much. Who knows what that person's intentions are," Li Jianguo snorted, "You are still young, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, sometimes a small word can toss you half to death." In this society, there are many good people and many bad people!"

"Maybe they... I don't understand how important it is..."Li Yiming looked at the ground with a slight gaze, "but they will understand later." ”

"I must have opened your letter and read it..."Li Jianguo took out a cigarette and sandwiched it between his fingers, "Do you believe that they treat you as crazy?

"Actually... You were on a business trip some time ago, and I thought I was crazy... I didn't know who to tell me, I was in too much of a hurry, so I wrote the letter and sent it without thinking too much......"

It seems that the story says that the kind of letter should be sandwiched in another letter and sent to someone who can be trusted, and then let him forward it, but he is really not as experienced as those who are born again.

Li Yiming raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and the left side of his face was still a little swollen, and the marks of the slap could be seen.

Li Jianguo's heart tugged, it seemed that the slap on his son's face was still hit by himself, and the force... The damage to my son may be worse than dropping out of school!

Li Jianguo was silent for a long time, and let out a long breath: "Then this is calculated in advance." ”

patted his son on the shoulder: "Yiming, no matter what you do, Dad will support you!"

"Hmm!" Li Yiming nodded heavily, and at this moment, he suddenly felt his father's unconditional trust.

After Li Jianguo said this, he looked at these manuscripts and smiled: "This is your first pot of gold?

"The first pot of gold doesn't count, and it shouldn't be much money. Li Yiming thought for a while, "I can only say that this method can help more people save some time and energy." ”

But this is not bad, the text is carried by the Tao, starting with the child, maybe the effect is better. Learning methods can make learning more efficient, and scientific training methods can enhance physical fitness, which is extremely meaningful in any case.

Moral, intellectual, physical...... Children are the hope of the future through all-round development.

Li Yiming gently pinched these manuscript papers, am I taking a small step?

It hasn't been sent out yet, it can only be counted, half a step.

......

PS: Thanks to Volcano Bear's 500 coin tip, I also saw that the book review said that 50,000 words haven't stepped out of the house yet, this chapter will take half a step first!

Happy New Year to all!
