Chapter 128: Winter Vacation (Part II)
If you don't have the Lantern Festival, you won't finish the New Year.
Although Lao Lin started to work on the eighth day of the new year, he still followed the inertia of the New Year, and gave a greeting to some people who should visit during the New Year but really couldn't arrange time. Of course, people don't mind, because these people are also busy, and making an appointment with Lao Lin for dinner is also not easy like getting married. And among them, Ding Shaoyi is included, including Miao Xiaoqiu.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to give Ding Shaoyi and Miao Xiaoqiu New Year's greetings, Lao Lin solved two problems in one go.
The first is that the manuscript of "Residence and Hair" was finally handed over to Ding Shaoyi, Ding Shaoyi said that after the Lantern Festival, the publicity of "Lin Guorong's sealed writings" will be opened, ensuring that it will be fried to the national book market - last year's "Small Courtyard Miscellaneous Talk", at the end of the year, quietly climbed to the eighteenth place on the list of the best-selling books in the country in 1994, don't look at it is only the eighteenth, but you must know "Small Courtyard Miscellaneous Talk" It was already early October when the book was released, and a large number of professional writers across the country were killed in just three months of sales, which shows how fierce the follow-up sales momentum of the book is.
With the steady rise in the sales of "Small Courtyard Miscellaneous", Lao Lin was obviously drunk and dreaming of death every day during the Chinese New Year, but his fame not only did not fall, but became more and more popular.
So at this juncture, Lao Lin released the "work of closing the mountain", and it is impossible not to be lively.
As for the economic benefits brought by this, 100,000 is actually just a conservative figure, if you are optimistic to look forward to it, it will be ten times more, Lin Miao has not thought about it - most children born in the 95 or 00 may not have imagined how huge the Chinese book market is in the afterglow of the golden age of the publishing industry in the early 90s.
To give a very simple example, Mr. Zheng, the king of fairy tales, in the early nineties, had already earned a net worth of more than 100 million yuan by writing books. And now, Lao Lin has caught up with Mr. Zheng in terms of popularity, and the audience may not be so wide, but it is by no means a fool's dream to make a fortune by relying on one or two books.
In addition to the major event of "Growing in the Hair", the second thing that Lao Lin solved was about Li Xiao.
As soon as Miao Xiaoqiu heard that Lao Lin's adopted daughter was going to school, she naturally didn't say a word and agreed.
In the next few days, Lao Lin and Lin Miao's grandmother walked to several places for Li Xiao's settlement procedures, and under the triple blessing of Lao Lin's "face halo", "position halo" and "celebrity halo", Lao Lin only took 5 days to get the hukou, which originally took at least a few months to complete.
Li Xiao's name was entered into the household registration book of Lin Miao's family, and by the way, he also changed his surname, added an additional Lin character, and became Lin Li Xiao.
It can be regarded as completely breaking away from the legal custody relationship with Jiang Juan.
Lin Miao's grandmother was very happy, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, she called Lin Miao's family to her house and made a meal that was more sumptuous than the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
After eating this meal, the year will be completely over......
On Wednesday morning, when Lin Miao, who had nothing to do, woke up in the storage room, he was in a dazed state.
He pondered the meaning of life in the dark for twenty minutes before turning on the light and crawling out of bed.
When I got dressed and walked out, it was bitterly cold in the room.
Lin Miao was instantly refreshed and figured out the meaning of life - first of all, you must be full.
Looking up at the clock, it was infringingly early, it was only 6:40 in the morning, and there was silence inside and outside the house.
Bang!
A firecracker exploded downstairs.
Lin Miao sighed, and couldn't help but recall the sins that the bear children had done in the past few days—throwing firecrackers into the sewers, throwing firecrackers into dung pits, and stuffing firecrackers into the mouths of hibernating toads......
"But I think it's still the classmate who put the firecracker in his mouth and blew himself up to the hospital is the best at playing, a teenager with such courage is really one less to die, which is worth cherishing. When Lin Miao brushed her teeth in the bathroom, she couldn't help but talk to herself.
Then he heard the door open.
Li Xiao wore a pair of thermal underwear, stepped on the cute little white rabbit cotton slippers, and walked to the door of the bathroom.
Lin Miao looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao was pitiful: "Are you okay, I want to ......"
"Wait!" Lin Miao interrupted Li Xiao's words, rinsed her mouth and spit out a mouth full of foam, and complained, "You said that you don't seem to have said a few words in the past half a month, except for the special terms of mahjong, the most remaining line is that I want to pee, as a lovely girl, don't you really feel embarrassed to have this kind of appeal all day long?"
Li Xiao stepped on his feet and said, "No! I want to poop!"
Lin Miao hurriedly ran out of the bathroom.
Lao Lin and Jiang Ping got up quickly, a family of four rushed to use the bathroom, Lao Lin's roar, Jiang Ping's scream, Lin Miao's hehehe, and Li Xiao's trembling formed a new atmosphere for the New Year.
Then when they were cleaned up, the four of them were dressed neatly, and they became a model family in the eyes of others.
When the father is rich, powerful and famous, the mother is young and fashionable, the son is smart and well-behaved, and the daughter is beautiful and sensible.
So the four of them walked into the canteen of the street together, and everyone cast envious eyes - about Li Xiao, the workers in the street have long known about Li Xiao's affairs, and of course there are no fewer jokes similar to those during the New Year.
But after all, the urban area is the urban area, and after a joke has been played for a week, everyone will get tired of it, even if someone mentions it again, at most it will be a passing by, even if it has been laughed, it will not be endless.
After breakfast, Lao Lin continued to go out to squat to protect his petitioners.
The day-to-day work of the office is naturally entrusted to the young and strong deputy director.
And Jiang Ping did nothing as usual, leading the two children to kill time in the unit.
Lin Miao was already thoroughly familiar with the interior of Xicheng Street, and the composition of each department from the first floor to the fourth floor was clear.
After knocking melon seeds in the office with Jiang Ping for a long time, and after reading all the newspapers that could be read today, Lin Miao, who was idle, pulled the timid Li Xiao everywhere to talk nonsense.
Then he was pulled to the third floor, and was forcibly carried into the office by Hu Jianhui.
Lao Hu pulled Lin Miao and chatted for half an hour about "Miscellaneous Conversations in the Small Courtyard", and suddenly his thinking diverged a little, and he asked Lin Miao if he wanted to go to the city library to apply for a library card. Lin Miao was worried that there was nowhere to go, so the two sides immediately hit it off and said they would leave.
When he came back at noon, Lin Miao brought back almost ten books, each of which was of different lengths, but each one was equivalent to a book from heaven to the group of semi-literate people on the street.
There are only about ten days left in the winter vacation, and it is of course impossible to read it in one go. However, for Lin Miao, it doesn't matter if he has a winter vacation or not, anyway, even if he goes to school, he is still free.
If the teacher doesn't let him read "The Ideal Country" and "The Phaedo" during the serious class, then he will go to Lao Jin's office to read it.
I, Lin Sanshui, dominated Bailifang Primary School for more than 100 days, spanning three grades, there are connections in the district, and there are connections in the city - who dares to stop me? Who dares to stop me? Who dares to stop me? Those who keep saying that they want to kill me have the ability to come out and take two steps!
In the last few days of the winter vacation, Lin Miao's life became colorful with a library card.
Generally, after eating in the morning, I take the free bus to the library, I don't borrow books, and occasionally I return one, but most of the time I still choose one I like to read, and it will be a morning when I look at it. Then go again in the afternoon.
Lin Miao couldn't tell whether this was love or revenge, anyway, he had never encountered such a good opportunity in his previous life to read through a cabinet of books without worry and with a clear goal.
When he was most eager to study, his family could not afford to buy expensive extracurricular books, and Jiang Ping never told him that there was such a thing as a public library in this world; when he finally went to college, he had the opportunity to read a lot of books for free, but he was delayed by a large number of trivial things; and after work, even if he had time and conditions, in order to get the favor of the leaders, he had to pinch his nose to study some knowledge that he did not like in his bones......
There is no greater difficulty in life than this kind of unfreedom that comes from the roots.
Lin Miao, who may vaguely know that there may not be much time and opportunities in the future, seized the time to absorb the knowledge that should have been absorbed in his previous life, and continued to improve his personal knowledge and thinking system that he had not perfected in his previous life.
I didn't take reading notes for the time being, so I decided to read 300 books extensively, and then select the most awesome works from them to savor.
Li Xiao was pulled by Lin Miao every day.
Xu Fengfan occasionally goes to join in the fun.
So in addition to reading, Lin Miao occasionally gave Li Xiao some simple preschool lessons in the library.
Li Xiao, whose mahjong skills are already very pure, has a high understanding of mathematics in primary school.
Lin Miao taught her to count from 1 to 90,000, even reading and writing, in less than an hour.
Then Li Xiao quickly asked a question that although it was simple enough, many people may not think deeply about it in their lifetime.
"One hundred thousand, one quarta, one hundred billion, one billion, one hundred billion, one billion, one billion
Lin Miao then began to discuss with her the meaning of "trillions for trillions" and "billions for trillions" in counting, and as she spoke, she also found a book from the library to discuss the exclusive counting units, and studied with Li Xiao the professional terms of counting units such as "Ganges sand", "that by him", and "immeasurable sea", which seem to belong to the category of Buddhism.
The two children kept talking until it was dark, and Lao Lin and Jiang Ping hurriedly found the library.
Jiang Ping angrily reprimanded Lin Miao, saying that she was going to school tomorrow and was not at home.
Li Xiao listened with a look of anticipation.
Lin Miao suddenly remembered that today was the last day of the winter vacation.
Starting tomorrow, he's going to school again.
Speaking of which, the winter vacation without winter vacation homework is really unconscious.
No wonder Xu Fengfan's guy seems to have disappeared in the past two days, thinking that he should have gone to a surprise attack......
