Yan Rushun's work and income have always been her mother's heart disease, and her mother used to hide it, avoiding talking about it in front of her mother-in-law, and trying to save some face for her daughter.

Listening to the meaning of "homeschooling" this time, my daughter didn't know how many years she had to stay at home before she could get rid of it, so she was suddenly anxious and simply poked this question out in public.

Actually, it's not that she doesn't save face for her daughter.

After so many years, Yan's mother is also a little dead to her daughter. As you get older, you are less and less likely to find a good job. Fortunately, over the years, the son-in-law has been guarding her daughter's life steadily, which has reduced her anxiety a lot.

However, Xin Weiyang's failure to speak does not mean that Xin's mother will not dislike it.

Therefore, she must show this question in front of her mother-in-law today. No matter whether in the end, Xin's mother is stronger than her daughter, or her daughter is stronger than Xin's mother, it is all the mother-in-law who participated and expressed her position. In the future, if the daughter really stays at home for many years, then there is no reason for the mother-in-law to talk nonsense.

However, Yan Rushun hadn't figured out the twists and turns in her mother's stomach at this time.

She immediately argued: "Why don't I have a career? I used to do more and less for my boss, that is called work, but now I write more and write less, and this is my own, is this called a career? As long as I go step by step, I will develop one day." ”

Yan's mother was almost laughed at: "I don't know where you got your confidence in the confusion." There are so many people who write in code, and I don't see a few of them developed. How can you be sure that you can be one of the small group of people at the top of the pyramid? I'm worried that one day you won't be able to write and you won't even be able to earn a few thousand dollars a month, what will you do then?"

At this point, Xin Weiyang's mobile phone vibrated again, and all eyes were attracted.

The argument paused for a second.

Yan Rushun urged him: "Hurry up and answer the phone, in case someone looks for you for something important." ”

Xin Weiyang had to avoid the side to answer the phone.

Xin's mother was not in a hurry to help Yan's mother: "Yes, Shunshun, your mother is for your good." You may not think these things are a problem when you are young, but when you are old, you will know that the pot is iron. You're not too young this year, you can't always be idle, right, you have to think about it. ”

Yan Rushun replied: "First of all, if I really have Jiang Lang's talent, I will not be in a hurry to go out to find a job when the time comes, not to mention the rest, sales work regardless of education and age, just performance, how can I give it a try." ”

As soon as Yan's mother heard it, she felt that the price was dropped, and she was just about to speak, but her daughter grabbed the words: "Secondly, I don't think I have anything else, but my curiosity about life has never been less, and now I have seventeen or eighteen ideas to write, but I can't write for the time being." Therefore, it is unlikely that it will not be able to be written. Finally, I would like to say that my book may be published. ”

Mother Yan was stabbed by Mother Xin's words first, and she was still slumped in face, ready to say a few heavy words.

As a result, the last sentence made her turn from worry to joy, and she jumped up suddenly: "Really?" The heartfelt joy was the same as Jian Jian hearing that she was going to the playground.

Yan Rushun felt slightly and nodded heavily: "Really." ”

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Because the editor of the publishing house has just left me a message, and it has not yet been implemented. I was going to wait until everything was in place. ”

Xin's mother also changed her previous ridicule, and asked very eagerly: "How much can I get?"

"The editor can only be reached on Monday, and we'll talk about it then. Yan Rushun replied a little weakly.

Speaking of which, the east is not bright, and the west is bright.

Although the subscription results she wrote on the website have been steadily rising, because of taking care of the children, the number of updates has not increased, and it has never entered the level of monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan. Therefore, the popularity and influence have not reached the level she wants.

However, the blog that records the parenting experience has been written for so many years, and has accumulated a lot of fans, which has attracted the attention of the publishing house, and the message is to be published for her.

It is the intention to plant flowers and flowers, and the willows and willows are planted unintentionally.

However, according to Mei Bai, publishing now doesn't make much money.

A book counts 600,000 words, 5,000 copies are printed, and it is remarkable that it can be about 10,000 when you get it in your hand.

This makes her a little less confident about the weight of publishing, and when she talks about copyright income, she can't help but be a little evasive.

Fortunately, the two mothers and two fathers did not mean to dwell on copyright income.

In their view, the publication of a book is a full affirmation of the author's level. Yan Rushun has also gone from being an online writer who has never been in the stream to a writer who can be published.

Writers, then you have to look at it a little bit higher.

For a while, the four old people all congratulated Yan Rushun with smiles.

Yan Rushun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly thought: This publication is really timely rain.

Xin Weiyang answered the phone and came back, just when he heard a tail, he was also sincerely happy for his wife, and suddenly picked her up and circled: "Wife, I knew you could do it." ”

"Oops, put me down, put me down. Yan Rushun hurriedly said - the four elders were still watching it.

Finally put down, she raised her head in surprise, but she looked at Xin Weiyang's sparkling eyes, as if they were made of titanium alloy.

"It's just a publication, so I don't need to be so happy. She whispered a strange word, but in fact, her heart was so sweet that it could overflow with aroma.

"Maybe it can be made into a movie and TV series in the future, and then you will be a great writer. Xin Weiyang is already looking forward to the future for her.

Great writers have to win at least some awards or something, and she's still far from it.

Yan Rushun was about to speak, but his waist was shocked.

Looking down, it was Xin Weiyang's mobile phone that sent a text message.

Moreover, there was more than one, and it shook several times one after the other.

She couldn't help but feel strange: this is not a festival, just one winter solstice does not need to send so many text messages, is there something wrong?

Don't talk about her, the four old people have also noticed this early, and Xin's mother is especially worried: "Is there any trouble?"

"Not a hassle. Xin Weiyang said plainly, "I have a paper to be published in Naturemunication, and my colleagues and friends sent text messages to congratulate me." ”

Yan Rushun's eyes widened: "Is it the scientific and technological journal "Nature"?!"

Xin Weiyang bowed slightly, and shook his head again: "To be exact, it is a sub-journal of Nature magazine. ”

Even if it's a sub-journal, it's Nature!

In front of Nature, what is it for her to publish a small book? It is really embarrassing for him to hear that she has published so many things and honored!

Mother Xin, Mother Yan and Father Yan still didn't quite understand, but Father Xin knew the weight of "Nature", so he briefly told the other three.

At this point, the whole family was happy.

Xin's mother was only relieved to hear Yan Rushun's good news just now, but now she is in high spirits, grabbed her son and asked, "How much bonus?"

"This ......" Xin Weiyang was embarrassed for a moment, "I don't know the specifics, there will probably be hundreds of thousands." However, this is the result of my team's joint efforts, so I have to divide it. ”

Whether it is divided or not, Xin's mother actually doesn't care. The situation of their family, although it is good to have hundreds of thousands more, they are not afraid of less hundreds of thousands.

The key is that Yan Rushun's published books will definitely not make so much money, and her son is still more capable than Yan's mother's daughter. No matter how proud Yan's mother is, she can't get past her - I think that at the beginning, she was very proud of her daughter-in-law when she was full-time, and she didn't want to be slapped in the face now.

Therefore, after confirming this, she squinted her eyes with satisfaction, and felt that her daughter-in-law was also much more pleasing to the eye.

"Mommy—" Jane's cry broke through the laughter of the family.

The little ancestor woke up from a nap!

So, the family immediately got busy.

Yan Rushun served the little guy to get up, Xin's father prepared warm water for his granddaughter, Yan's mother cut fruit for lunch, and Yan's father hurriedly stewed soup.

Xin's mother happily rushed into the children's room, hugged her granddaughter and said with a smile: "Jian Jian, do you know that your father has published a paper, and people all over the world will see it." ”

Xin Weiyang also followed closely and hurriedly added: "Your mother's is also published, and many people will see it." ”

Xin'an's child didn't quite understand what was going on, but she could feel the joy of the adults, so she grinned and asked, "What is a paper?"

Xin's mother replied: "It's the article that my father wrote after doing scientific research." ”

Xin An let out a plausible "oh".

Yan Rushun saw the clue and asked with a smile: "Do you know what Dad's job does?"

Xin An blurted out: "Make money." ”

The family burst into laughter.

Xin's mother was not very satisfied with her granddaughter's performance, and reminded: "What do you think about again?

Xin An thought for a while, exaggerated a gesture, and said loudly: "I know, Dad's job is to go on a business trip." ”

Yan Rushun sat on the ground with laughter, and Xin Weiyang couldn't cry or laugh.

He usually has a business trip every three or five o'clock, and he also goes out early and returns late during the critical period of the experiment, and he can't even see his daughter's face, it is estimated that Jian Jian heard about his father's business trip a few times, and he understood that he was working on a business trip, thinking that his father was on a business trip as long as he went to work.

The child's heart is really direct.

On this day, the whole house was bubbling with happiness without interruption, and everyone was like a spring breeze, which was a rare time for the family to have fun together. Although the dinner was no different from the usual, everyone seemed to have eaten the umami of the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and almost all of them added a bowl and a half.

Jian Jian was also very happy, and after eating, she sang and danced in circles in the middle of the living room.

Yan Rushun looked at all this, and only felt unprecedentedly relaxed: after getting married, she had endured tremendous pressure for four long years, which was not comparable to the college entrance examination or being bullied in the workplace, because it was inflicted by the closest person in her life, which made people feel sad and desperate.

Several times, she almost couldn't hold back to compromise with her parents. And once she compromises, in fact, she fundamentally denies herself and gives up on herself.

Perhaps, because of this, she will slowly become a greasy middle-aged housewife, living in complaints and pickiness every day, becoming like her mother-in-law, watching soap operas in her spare time, chatting with people who can talk about celebrity gossip, counting on Jian Jian to study and forge ahead, glorifying her ancestors, but she no longer has any hope.

It's scary to think about.

Thankfully, she withstood the pressure and survived all the way.

Well, perhaps it should be said that it was with Xin Weiyang's support that she withstood the pressure and survived all the way.

If she is not married to Xin Weiyang, but to a completely different man, for example: dislike her for not earning money, take her taking care of the children for granted, complain about the housework while playing games, and the children cry a lot, express contempt for her whimsical resignation of her job with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan to do hard labor in the education industry, and laugh at her for becoming everyone's dream......

In this way, can she still get to where she is today?

Probably not.

In that case, she should have taken a different path: divorced, single with children, forced to give up writing, relying on the help of her parents, taking care of her children while working, gritting her teeth every day and running hard, not daring to think about what tomorrow would be like, she could only feel sorry for herself and her daughter in the dead of night, and silently pray that Jian Jian would not repeat the mistakes of the past.

In short, looking back on the road she has traveled today, she deeply feels how naïve she was in the past.

This society is really not very friendly to women. Even women who have received higher education, even white-collar workers who were once glamorous, may accidentally fall to the bottom, struggling with poverty and exhaustion.

Maybe the future will slowly get better, but I don't know how many women will die in the darkness before dawn.

Luckily, it was Xin Weiyang who she met. What should she do if she doesn't?

After thinking about it again, if it wasn't for Xin Weiyang, she probably wouldn't have married.

When Mei Bai returned to China, she no longer had expectations for marriage, and maybe she embarked on the road of the second seventh master.

It's just that she couldn't have imagined that there could be so many possibilities in her life.

And now, she is very glad that at noon on a certain weekday, she did not take an earlier step, nor did she take a step late, just in time for a mother-son dispute, and grabbed the man and said: "You are frigid, so coincidentally I am too." So, I think we might be more compatible. ”

What a wonderful start.
