Li Xiang returned home at nine o'clock in the evening, the lights were on in the entrance and living room, Xiang Xiaoyuan was sitting on the sofa watching TV, there was a light leaking on the second floor, and Li Chao was upstairs with the little sisters.

Li Xiang took off his shoes, put on cotton slippers, and said to Xiaoyuan, "Have you had dinner?"

Li Xiang had already called her and said that she would have dinner out, but she still asked uneasily.

Li Xiang said, "I've eaten it." ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan got up from the sofa and said, "Your father made soup in the evening, and there are some more, you come and drink it." ”

Li Xiang followed to the restaurant, sat on a chair, and watched Xiao Yuan bring out the casserole from the kitchen, and as soon as the lid was lifted, a fragrant smell of meat wafted out.

Li Xiang couldn't help but say, "Oh, when I smell this smell, I suddenly get hungry." ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and filled him with a big spoon, put it in front of him, and said, "This is West Lake beef soup, your father has just learned, how about you try it." Now in autumn, drink more soup and soup to replenish water. ”

Li Xiang moved his index finger, tasted it, and praised it: "The taste is very good." ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: "There are eggs in it, it's very replenishing, and there are still some in the casserole, you can eat them all." ”

"No problem. Li Xiang said, the dog smelled the smell, ran over, circled around Li Xiang, and then squatted on the ground, looking at him with a blank eye, if he drooled a little, it would be the dog's version of Dou Dou.

Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't go back to watch TV, but also sat down at the dining table and chatted with Li Xiang without saying a word.

"Pigeon pigeon ~~~" The master heard the movement, came down from the second floor, and ran over, "When are you going home?"

Li Xiang: "I just came back." ”

The child climbed on the chair next to Li Xiang, sat down, and told him about the interesting things that happened in the kindergarten today.

Li Xiang: "You have a lot of new toys in your kindergarten?"

The teacher nodded and said, isn't it, it's a lot, and you can also sing.

Xiang Xiaoyuan added: "The kindergarten bought some suddenly large toys, such as a combination slide, and also renovated a music area, bought some musical instruments, and cultivated children's music hobbies. In addition, the toilets are also being renovated. ”

Li Xiang immediately knew that this was done by Hongying Kindergarten after getting a bonus of 200,000 yuan. Not long ago, Yan Xiaowen led Master Dou and the children in the second class to dance "Gee" together, won the sixth place, and won the third prize, with a bonus of 200,000 yuan. Yan Xiaowen didn't ask for the money, and after discussing with Li Xiang, she donated the money to Hongying Kindergarten, and after consulting Li Xiang and Yan Xiaowen and others, the kindergarten decided to use it to renovate toilets, buy toys, and decorate a music area.

Dou Dou chased after him with Tim Kitten, shouting where you are, Master, but when he found Li Elephant, he excitedly shouted: "Ha! Elephant, what are you eating??? show the young lady." ”

Director Dou threw Down's kitten away, ran to Li Xiang's side, stood on tiptoe, held his little head high, twitched his nose to smell the fragrance, and asked, "What are you eating?" ”

Li Xiang said: "Didn't you eat the West Lake beef soup made by Dad?"

Dou Dou immediately said, "I didn't eat! I didn't eat at all, I didn't eat enough." ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan said, "Dou Dou, what did you say? Are you sure you didn't eat it?"

Dou Dou: "Eat." ”

She climbed into the chair, stood on the chair, supported the edge of the dining table with her hands, poked her little head out to look at the casserole, and found that the casserole was covered with a lid, so she turned to stare at Li Xiang's bowl in a daze.

Li Xiang was embarrassed to eat by her, and asked, "Do you want to have some?"

Dou Dou asked, "Do you invite me?"

Li Xiang: "I invite you." ”

Dou Dou: "Then the young lady will give you face, come! Mom~ prepare a beautiful bowl for the baby." ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: "Are you sure you still want to eat?"

Dou Dou: "I'm growing up." ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan went to the kitchen and brought two bowls, and brought out a casserole in his hand.

Li Xiang asked, "Is there another pot?" ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan put down the casserole and bowl, and said, "This pot is rock sugar pear white fungus soup, and the master likes to eat it." ”

The teacher nodded: "Babies like to eat." ”

Dou Dou decided to eat a bowl of West Lake beef soup first, and then a bowl of rock sugar pear white fungus soup. She thought about the beauty, after eating a bowl, Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't let her eat it, and forcibly touched her little belly, which was bulging and felt like it was going to burst.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: "You can't eat it, if you eat it again, you will wet the bed at night." ”

Dou Dou put down the bowl and said, "What about Xiaoyuzi's sister peeing on me?" Mom, I'm urinated~ Will the teacher also pee on me." ”

The teacher said, "I don't wet the bed. ”

Li Xiang finished eating, put down the bowl, and took the two little sisters to the bathroom to brush their teeth.

"Pigeon, little Lingzi lost her teeth today. The teacher said worriedly, as soon as she got out of school today, she told her parents about it, she was really worried, on the one hand, she was worried that Xiao Lingzi would lose her teeth and not be able to eat, and on the other hand, she was worried that she would also lose her teeth.

Dou Dou laughed and said, "Xiao Lingzi fell here, like a little rabbit, hey, hey, hey, hea, hea." ”

The schadenfreude guy pointed to his front teeth and laughed haha.

Li Xiang smiled: "You can't laugh at people, the reason why Xiao Lingzi lost her teeth is because she is growing up, and you will lose your teeth too, and you will lose them this year or next year." ”

"Clams?" Dou Dou was startled.

The teacher also asked nervously, "Will the teacher also fall?"

Li Xiang: "All children who are growing up will lose their teeth. ”

"I like my tooth so much, I want it to be 100 years old," Dou said. ”

Li Xiang said, "Do you know the story of the tooth fairy? ”

The next day, the French publishing house Laroux replied and agreed with Li Xiang's proposal.

They hardly hesitated, believing that although the book "The Old Man and the Sea" was of good quality, it would be difficult to win the Goncourt Prize. This is the highest literary award in France, and the person in charge of the Chinese character of the French publishing house Laroux has the pride of a Gallic rooster and feels that Li Xiang will not win the award at all. So, in fact, the real condition is a 5% royalty for 3 years, which is a very favorable condition for them.

After Gu Qijing reported the matter of the French Larousse publishing house in Li Xiang's office, she said: "The two publishing houses in North America took the initiative to come to the door today and were willing to provide the same conditions as the French Larousse publishing house, that is, a royalty of 5% for three years. ”

Li Xiang said: "Then welcome, this is a good thing." ”

Gu Qijing said: "They only mention the royalty of 5% for three years, but they never mention the increase in royalties if they win awards. ”

Li Xiang asked: "If I don't win the prize, the royalty will be 5% for three years, do they think I can win the prize?

Gu Qijing said: "There is such a possibility. ”

Li Xiang said: "There is another possibility, that is, they really don't plan to give high royalties, even if they think that I can't win the Goncourt Literary Prize, and they don't want to take the slightest risk." Instead of entangling with us now and wasting energy, it is better to wait for a month, when we see that there is no hope of winning the award, they will come to the door again, and it will be easy to negotiate a business. It doesn't even take a month, half a month to know what is going on, when the shortlist of the Goncourt Literary Prize will be announced. ”

After speaking, Li Xiang said again: "It seems that you can find another publishing house in North America now, these two eat meat and don't spit out bones, Zhou Pao skin is not so picky, don't wait for them." ”
