Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's Time for the New Year Again

Xu Nuoqi said.

"You're not staying in school to write novels?"

"No, I've saved enough manuscripts, and keeping them is nothing more than saving a few more days, anyway, I've decided to work full-time, and it's not bad for a few days, so I'll write it after the Spring Festival." ”

After Tong Yao finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Jia again and asked.

"By the way, when are you going to leave?"

Zheng Jia is different from Tong Yao, her manuscript fee is increased every month, and the novel "Three Thousand Years with Ghosts" is becoming more and more popular.

And arranging better recommendations means you have to add more. As soon as you add more, it means that you earn more, for a poor ghost like Zheng Jia, she can't wait to write and send 24 hours a day.

In addition, there are many readers of her books, and when there are many readers, there are many local tyrant readers who offer rewards, such as rewarding 100 yuan and asking for a more chapter.

In order to get this money, Zheng Jia has to change more every day, so her manuscript eats the most.

By the eighteenth, Tong Yao had already pressed 200,000 words in his hand, and Zheng Jia only had 50,000 words in his hand, so there was no need to ask, Zheng Jia couldn't leave today.

"I'm going to go home on the 28th......"

"No. 28? No. 28 is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"Hmmm......"

Zheng Jia snorted, Tong Yao rolled her eyes, and reminded her with a wry smile.

"Jiajia, you never thought that people's schools would be closed at that time? Aunt Lou Guan also has to go home for the New Year, how can you let you live until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Huh?"

Zheng Jia sighed, and suddenly her face turned red again, she really hadn't thought about this, and she was suddenly red and at a loss for what to do.

"Alas, okay, I'll help you ask, Aunt Ren said, the students in the building can only live until the 23rd at the latest, you, hurry up and save the manuscript these days, if you really can't send 4000 words a day, don't add more, and it's not too late to write after the year. ”

Tong Yao persuaded a few words, but Zheng Jia just sighed, and I don't know if I listened to it or not.

The three of them returned to the dormitory, and Tong Yao and Xu began to pack their things.

After lunch, the two of them picked up their bags and said goodbye to Zheng Jia and left.

got off the bus at the county bus station, Tong Yao sighed with emotion, this time last year, she had a huge amount of money, and even sold the copyright during the Spring Festival and took 80,000 yuan to repay the debt to her family.

But this year, from the National Day to the present, her total manuscript fee for three months is only more than 4,000, deducting the usual expenses, saving until now, she has only 3,500 yuan on hand, and then she wants to buy a lot of things luxuriously, even she is a little reluctant.

So after arriving in the county seat, she didn't dare to stay, but returned to Mingyue Town, which was a lower grade, and dared to pull the promise to buy.

In addition to the necessary items for the Chinese New Year, she bought her mother a new set of clothes and a bunch of pirated pop songs and opera tapes.

Xu Promise didn't run away in the end, he was touched by his parents on the street, and he was arrested and went to guard the stall without letting go of his luggage, while Tong Yao carried a big bag and a small bag back to the village alone.

When I got home, it was dark, and I was separated from my mother for more than three months, so the mother and daughter were naturally happy to see each other.

Tong Yao kept showing her mother the things she bought, and her mother kept giving her a bowl with sumptuous meals, and when she finished showing it, the bowl was piled up into a hill.

The next day, Tong Yao was promised to be forced to help at the temporary booth in Mingyue Town until the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

For Tong Yao an hour later, the Spring Festival is a rare day once a year when she can eat good things, wear new clothes, and get five cents to press the New Year's money, which is the most long-awaited, happiest, and happiest day of the year.

The current Spring Festival is just the opposite, it has become a day when she wants her mother to eat good things, wear new clothes, and give her mother money.

Maybe this is growing up, she thought.

And the Spring Festival has no special meaning for their family.

Here, they have no relatives, no friends, no need to go to other people's homes to pay New Year greetings, and no one comes to their homes to pay New Year greetings, so when the Chinese New Year's Eve night eats dumplings and firecrackers and watches the Spring Festival Gala, this year means that it has passed.

Since the beginning of the year, there seems to be no other activity except for eating better than usual.

The promise is different, from the beginning of the new year, she was assigned to her aunt's house, aunt's family, uncle's family and other relatives' houses, one by one to pay New Year's greetings, and then these people turned around and came to their house to pay New Year's greetings.

But this is all a matter of hours later, now that the promise has grown up, she doesn't like to show her face, of course, the main thing is that she can no longer look down on the five cents and one piece of New Year's money given by her relatives for the New Year, and she feels that it is not cost-effective to go to the New Year, so she can naturally hide and hide.

Since she was 12 years old, the main task of the Chinese New Year was to squander the large denomination of New Year's money given by her parents and grandparents, because she felt that if she did not spend it, the money would sooner or later be confiscated by her mother in the name of custody.

It is precisely because of this that since the age of twelve, Tong Yao officially followed the promise and began to eat and drink for the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he promised to knock on the door early in the morning, and pulled Tong Yao, who had not yet woken up, and went straight to the county seat of Tianyun County.

"Hey, you don't have to get up so early to go shopping, do you?"

"You know, if you don't go, you'll be in trouble. ”

"What's the trouble?"

Today is the first day of the new year, there are 550,000 people in our county, and there are tens of thousands of people working outside, and they are all back for the New Year. Let's go, don't ink, today's consumption is paid by Miss Ben. ”

Xu promised to drag Tong Yao to leave while talking, Tong Yao grabbed the door frame with his hand and didn't let go, and he cried in a hurry.

"Hey, hey, no matter how anxious you are, you have to let me wear a pair of autumn pants, it's minus thirteen degrees today......"

……

After arriving at the county seat, the two girls had breakfast, and then went straight to the Internet café, got on the network, and went to KTV, and went to the flower and bird market, clothing street, snack street, etc.

When he was about to go back at half past four in the afternoon, while waiting for the bus at the bus station, Xu Yu saw a circle of people around him, and he couldn't help but pull Tong Yao and squeeze in.

As soon as he entered, he called at Tong Yao.

"Hey, look, "Three Thousand Years with Ghosts"

In the middle of the crowd was a middle-aged woman who set up a stall selling pirated books.

The stall was rudimentary, with a plastic sheet on the floor and a mess of books piled up on it, most of which were pirated and second-hand books.

This kind of stall also exists in Mingyue Town, and Tong Yao and Xu Xu often like to look around after an hour, but it is not common now.

The books sold at the stalls are very varied, and as for what books are sold, it depends on what books can be picked out of the scrap received by the scrap yard.
