In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Cao Cao sent a message to defeat Dong Zhuo, a group of generals soon gathered under his command.

Among them, the first to defect to him were Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Chun (dun characters can't be typed), Xiahou Yuan and a group of brothers of their own clan.

Anyone can be jealous of your talent, but your own relatives will never think so.

Supporting each other, although they don't help the poor, but when you are in need, you will always get help from your relatives.

When those elders find that there are materials to be made in the descendants of their surname, they will take the initiative to help, and they will have the money to contribute and have the strength to contribute.

As soon as Cao Cao showed the ability and reputation of the lord of one side, his family was immediately tied to the same chariot with him and fully supported him.

Lin Mu was the same at this time.

The people who went home to get the ingredients spread the news to more people, and attracted the enthusiastic support of more relatives.

Even if she was very poor on weekdays, and there were relatives who were sick with the elderly, they also took out a hundred yuan to Mother Lin and asked her to buy something to show her heart.

Although, at this time, Lin Mu's family was already full of large and small things.

Freshly killed and cleaned pure free-range rooster, pork legs, beef, a small jar of honey......

The most, there are all kinds of fruits, apples and oranges in season, which fill Lin Mu's table.

Mother Lin kept saying that there were enough things, but those relatives, obviously seeing that there were so many ingredients, still smiled and put the gifts they had prepared in Lin Mu's house.

Lin Mu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but be moved in his heart at this time.

I can feel that these neighbors and relatives are not for any future return from Lin Mu, but for the fact that they are sincerely happy for Lin Mu's family and happy that among their descendants, they can have a promising offspring.

The old man and Father Lin were also smiling at this time, smoking cigarettes while chatting with the men who came, enjoying this rare happy time.

The children of each family also came with their parents, and were led by Lin Ye Lin Lin, and went to the side house to look at the computer with an apple in his arms.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that the crowd slowly dispersed, but a few sisters-in-law and aunts were left behind to help prepare the meal.

"Mom, in fact, you don't have to do so much, I asked, the other party came alone, and he had been in the car for a long time, so it would be nice to make something light......" Lin Mu watched a group of people busy and couldn't help but persuade.

The sister-in-law of the second eldest mother's family glanced at Lin Mu: "Don't say it, big writer, this is the rule, go to the hall to watch TV with your father, you don't have to worry about cooking." ”

"That's it!"

"Lin Mu, this child, still doesn't stay at home much, and he doesn't understand anything. ”

"What is there to understand, Xiao Mu can learn to write manuscripts with peace of mind, let's just worry about these things!"

……

The other party came quickly, and Lin Mu sat in the small shop on the street for a short time when he saw the soliciting van coming.

A man in his forties wearing round-framed black glasses, after getting out of the car, looked around curiously, and saw Lin Mu walking towards him, he was a little surprised, and the curiosity in his eyes was even heavier.

"I'm Wang Yang, the receiving editor of "Story Club", and you are ...... A page of book Lin Mu?" the middle-aged man asked hesitantly.

Lin Mu smiled: "Why, can you get my detailed address from "Martial Arts Story", but you can't get my detailed information?"

The middle-aged man Wang Yang laughed: "Sure enough, my mind is clear, it seems that I have come to the right place this time!"

The two of them, chatting on the way back, Lin Mu also knew some of the other party's situation.

As you think, the other party is here for your next book.

"At the beginning, I told our boss that people who can write such a rigorous martial arts system as "Liancheng Jue" must also have far-reaching thoughts, and the next book will definitely not be conceived until the end of "Liancheng Jue". Only then did our boss make up his mind to let me come to discuss this cooperation as soon as I finished eating Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

At the dinner table, the old man, Father Lin, Lin Mu, and several other famous old people in the village were accompanied, and Mother Lin and several other sisters-in-law and aunts went to the east bedroom to pretend to watch TV after serving the food, but in fact, they had been eavesdropping on the main house.

Father Lin toasted a glass of wine and asked tentatively: "Our children are not careful, can you be more specific about the cooperation you said?"

Wang Yang looked at Sven, but the wine table was very bold, the glass was dry, and the elders of the Lin Mu family still had doubts, so he simply picked up the document bag he was carrying.

Stacks of banknotes, placed on the edge of the table, a total of 50,000.

Wang Yang slapped the money in front of Lin's father: "Let's put it this way! Let's work together for the first time, let's not talk about what level Lin Mu's next book is, and when it will be written, this 50,000 yuan should be a gift from "Story Club" to the author of the first cooperation. As for the specific manuscript fee, let's look at the manuscript situation, how about it?!"

50,000 yuan?

A few old people couldn't help but sigh, Mother Lin who was eavesdropping in the side room, you are also looking at me, I am looking at you, I can't believe it.

They thought that the magazine's treatment of Lin Mu would be very generous, and they also thought that the other party would come over for the New Year, and they must have attached great importance to Lin Mu.

But when you think about it, taking 50,000 yuan as a gift really stimulates their fragile hearts too much!

You must know that a middle-aged laborer in the village, who works hard outside for a year, gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, tired and sweaty, does not eat well, and does not live well, so the money saved in this way is only 40,000 or 50,000 yuan at most.

But Wang Yang hadn't seen Lin Mu's new book yet, so he directly took out 50,000, which really scared them.

Lin Mu smiled: "I just fell out with "Martial Arts Story" and them, you should know the reason, I originally thought that your magazine industry could no longer tolerate me......"

"Komaki, what's going on?"

This is the first time Lin Mu has talked about this in front of his family, and Father Lin heard that it was not right, so he hurriedly asked.

Wang Yang patted Father Lin's arm to show that it was okay: "What else should I do." Hehe, Zhu Zhengting has been going on for so many years, and the second one of ten thousand years will not talk about it first. There are so many excellent authors under Cheng Xiong, and they are willing to spend money, Lin Mu, think about it, why after so many years, their sales still only fluctuate around tens of thousands?"

Lin Mu shook his head and motioned for the other party to continue.

Wang Yang took a glass of white wine and smiled: "Treat famous authors generously, treat new authors with great generosity, but pay no attention to them! How can this kind of rat eye bring vitality to the magazine?"

"You must know that the style of those famous writers has been fixed, at most it is just to maintain the middle and upper sales of the magazine; what can really make the sales of the magazine earth-shaking changes is still those new authors who are not shackled by anything and have unrestrained ideas!"
