Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Publication of a New Book—Setting Sail

The political pattern of Gucheng County has undergone tremendous changes in more than half a month, and some "professionals" who claim to be "officialdom observers" are also confused. Tian Mingli, the secretary who had not been favored, completed a shocking reversal in half a month, and the old county magistrate Chen Jianjun was defeated in the city, and the post of county magistrate was temporarily replaced by secretary Tian Mingli.

As a result, the political pattern of the entire Gucheng County was completely controlled by Tian Mingli at once, and the top leaders of several important yamen, such as public security, finance, and transportation, were all removed one after another. Although the first and second leaders of the townships below have not changed much, many people have re-sided on Tian Mingli's side.

Compared with the changes in the power structure of Gucheng County, the changes in the power level of Chenguang Machinery Factory are not too big. After the fall of Huang Shengmin and Zheng Jianxing, the head factory sent a new factory director, and Wang Chengjian, the original chairman of the trade union, did not expect Lao Lai to be blessed, so he went further to serve as deputy secretary and deputy director. Several other positions of deputy factory director have also been arranged, and it is worth mentioning that Zhang Yadong, the director of the workshop, was promoted to become the deputy factory director in this struggle.

Of course, these things have no impact on Su Zhenbang now, and he is burying his head in his career.

Su Zhenbang's gas station did not close because of that incident, the seal on the door had already been taken away by the Public Security Bureau, and it seemed that in order to give Su Zhenbang a satisfactory answer, an explanation announcement was also posted.

Therefore, the gas station reopened the day after Su Zhenbang came out, although many people left temporarily because of the closure, but the business was still very hot on the day of the reopening.

It seems that because of this incident, Su Chenyu rarely goes to school after this incident, and Feng Ying no longer reprimands him all day long. The key is that in the midterm exam some time ago, Su Chenyu once again ranked first in his age with a double percentage. So Feng Ying now just asks him to get this score for the final exam, of course, he has to go for two days a week.

So now Su Chenyu has more time, but many times he is in Su Zhenbang's gas station to watch the shop, but he still has to continue to "create" the great cause - he has to pay at night.

Since the last time Su Zhenbang and Feng Ying read Su Chenyu's "Desire", the two have completely become loyal fans of this book, and they ask Su Chenyu to hand in the results of the day every night. Su Chenyu is still a good author, he can keep updating every day, and while keeping the dìng updated, this guy actually played "double open".

This time, Su Chenyu's book is a novel about a legendary soldier, yes, it is the "Bright Sword" that was made into a TV series after being castrated in later generations and is still very popular.

For "Bright Sword", Su Chenyu has watched Mr. Du Liang's original work, and of course he has also watched the TV series. So this time, he decided to write a different military masterpiece - "Bright Sword" on the basis of the original book, referring to the adaptation of the first half of the TV series, plus the war experience told by his father and grandfather.

If when writing "Desire", Su Chenyu was just "writing" for the sake of "writing", then for this "Bright Sword", he was completely devoted to meticulous crafting. Not for anything else, just because his grandfather and father are both republican ** people who participated in the war of "defending the family and defending the country", and he wants to write a different ** person.

If Su Chenyu can easily control the creation of the war part in the first half of "Bright Sword", then the large part of Su Chenyu after the founding of the People's Republic of China is extremely difficult. Especially in that part of the ten-year period, Su Chenyu was almost burning his heart and soul in carving.

A person who does not know one thing may be happy, but after knowing it is torture - the ending of the original book is the most profound sense of historical vicissitudes and the most appropriate, and he has no power and does not want to tamper with this ending.

Anyway, since entering the second half of the creation of "Bright Sword", Su Chenyu has suddenly become silent. However, as a disciplined "writer", he will update "Desire" to the whole family on time every day.

However, apparently Feng Ying was very dissatisfied with part of the plot of "Desire" arranged by him, especially when he saw that Liu Huifang was hit by a car in that chapter, he actually picked up a broom angrily to chase Su Chenyu, and Su Zhenbang also said on the side - it should indeed be beaten. In the end, Su Chenyu barely escaped the catastrophe with spoilers in advance, this kind of thing Su Chenyu has encountered many times, as long as Liu Huifang was crumbled and Wang Yaru was proud, Feng Ying would angrily pick up a broom to beat Su Chenyu.

On Sunday morning, Su Chenyu had been practicing for a long time and had not yet returned, but the "green" postman uncle had already stood in front of the house.

A young postman looked out into the courtyard and shouted, "Is there anyone?"

"Who?" said Grandpa as he came out of the house with a cigarette pouch.

The postman saw that it was an old man in his seventies, so he asked respectfully, "Uncle, is this Su Chenyu's family?"

"Su Chenyu, it's Xiaoyu, right? Yes. Grandpa Tai wasn't sure if this Su Chenyu was his good great-grandson Xiaoyu, so he just said to himself.

Fortunately, at this time, Feng Ying came out of the house and asked, "Grandpa, who?"

"By the way, Xiaoyu's mother, this comrade is looking for Su Chenyu. Grandpa Tai saw Feng Ying and hurriedly said.

"Looking for Su Chenyu, this is his house. Feng Ying saw that it was a postman, so she said suspiciously.

"This is his parcel list, let him take this list and relevant documents to the post and telecommunications office to pick up the package. The postman took out a slip and handed it to Feng Ying and said, "By the way, there are two letters and two remittance slips for Su Chenyu, please sign for it." I forgot to ask, what are you?"

"I'm, can I sign it?" Feng Ying said with a smile.

The postman was a little surprised and said, "Yes, of course." ”

Feng Ying took a stack of slips and letters and walked towards the house while reading, and found that these things were all sent from the capital and Jiangcheng. She immediately understood that these things should have been sent from the publishing house, and couldn't help but rejoice: "Xiaoyu's book looks like it's about to be published." ”

"Xiaoying, what are you taking?" the second grandmother asked with a smile when she saw Feng Ying's happy appearance.

Feng Ying said with a smile: "Auntie, Xiaoyu's book has been published, and the letter and remittance slip sent by the publishing house. ”

"Oh, Xiaoyu, this child's books have been published, what a happy event. The second grandmother asked with a smile.

was so troubled by the second grandmother, and everyone who was still at home came out, Su Chenyu's grandfather and grandmother, grandfather and grandmother, Li Yuhan, and Su Zhenguo all came out to see what was going on.

"Father, mother, your great-grandson has become a writer. The second grandmother said loudly to grandpa and grandpa.

Grandpa and grandma didn't know what a writer was or whether they could eat it, anyway, they knew that their great-grandson would have a great future at such a young age.

"Xiaoyu's book has been published, great. Su Zhongping took the remittance slip and parcel slip from Feng Ying's hand, looked at it, and said in surprise: "Yo, such a large sum of money?"

Shi Yuxiu asked, "How much?"

"See for yourself, next day. Su Zhongping handed over the remittance slip and said.

Shi Yuxiu was really startled when she saw it, and then said to the second grandmother who cast an inquiring look: "Thousands of yuan." ”

The second grandmother was shocked at once, and even Feng Ying was shocked, they didn't believe that writing a novel could make so much money. After a long time, the second grandmother stammered, "Sister-in-law...... Son, sister-in-law, so ...... How much?"

"This is still the first money, and there will be more in the future, Xiaoyu signed a new royalty system to pay for the author's remuneration at that time. That is to say, the more the publisher prints and sells, the more Xiaoyu gets the manuscript fee. Su Zhongping explained with a smile.

The second grandmother hurriedly asked, "Brother, how much is that?"

"At least a few tens of thousands. Su Zhongping's words completely shocked the second grandmother, you must know that in that era, a 10,000-yuan household was amazing, a worker's monthly salary was only a hundred yuan, and the income of farmers was even less pitiful.

"Dad, are there so many?" Feng Ying also asked in surprise.

"That's not much to say. Su Zhongping said: "Okay, wait for Xiaoyu to come back and let Zhenbang take him to the post and telecommunications office to take it out." ”

The second grandmother was still in shock, and when she came to her senses, she looked at Su Zhenguo and said, "You bear child, you don't go to school well, you see that Xiaoyu is younger than you, and she has more ability." ”

Su Zhenguo didn't expect that he stood on the side and didn't say a word, but he actually caused a burst of unwarranted disasters, and sighed that he was wronged.

As soon as Feng Ying returned to the house, Su Chenyu came in from outside, and shouted as soon as he entered the house: "Mom, is there breakfast left?" I'm a little hungry. ”

Su Chenyu's shout summoned the whole family out again, and he was stared at by the whole family for a while, so he touched his head and said, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Xiaoyu, your book is published, can you give me a copy?" Li Yuhan said sweetly.

Su Chenyu was not as excited and happy as everyone imagined, and said very calmly: "Of course you can, you can have as many books as you want." Is my book published? so slow?"

"You kid, how do you speak? Feng Ying taught Su Chenyu a lesson.

"Xiaoyu, I heard that you can get a lot of that, that manuscript fee?"

The second grandmother is obviously still more concerned about the manuscript fee.

"Okay, there should be quite a few. Su Chenyu wasn't sure how many: "I'm not sure how many there are." ”

Su Chenyu was surrounded by his family and asked questions, but in the end, his grandmother was able to relieve him, and his grandmother still remembered that Su Chenyu came back and shouted to eat. Finally, Su Chenyu returned to the house and finished breakfast, took the letter sent by the publishing house and read it.

The content of both letters is similar, both say that the new book has been published and is about to be released, and the sample book has been sent to him. Of course, both letters urged him to send them the second part of "Little Master of China" and "Digimon" as soon as possible, and both letters invariably mentioned that if there was a new work, he must notify them first.

None of this could arouse Su Chenyu's interest, but there was a piece of information that aroused Su Chenyu's strong interest. Liu Yuxinzhong told him that his publishing house had joined hands with several other large publishing houses and some writers from the Writers' Association to submit the matter of royalty remuneration to the State Council.

Su Chenyu didn't expect that one of his actions for his own benefit would inadvertently change the treatment of writers in advance.

At noon, Su Zhenbang went home for dinner, and Feng Ying hurriedly told him about the publication of Su Chenyu's book, of course, he was also very happy. In the afternoon, he took Su Chenyu to the post office to take out the package and money. These two publishing houses are also more considerate of Su Chenyu, and each of them sent more than a dozen new books, so that Su Chenyu would not have to buy books and give them away.

Su Chenyu's new book has not yet been warmed up in his hand, and he will give away several copies when he goes home, and Li Yuhan and Su Zhenguo will occupy a lot of places. got the new book given by Su Chenyu, and Li Yuhan's little girl's smiling eyes turned into crescents.

Su Zhongping picked up a new book, looked at it and said, "Yes, the quality of the book is good." ”

"Yes, that's good. Shi Yuxiu also echoed with a smile.

Feng Ying said with a lot of embarrassment: "These books are not enough to send at all, the teachers at our school have long asked me when Xiaoyu's book will come out, and I still want books." ”

"When the book is published, I will buy a few more copies and give them away. Su Zhenbang said with a smile: "I still care about this." ”

"Just be generous. Feng Ying glanced at Su Zhenbang, then pulled him aside and whispered, "What about Xiaoyu's manuscript fee?"

"I deposited it in the bank for him, and the passbook is with him. Su Zhenbang said.

Feng Ying shouted all of a sudden: "Why did you give it to him? Such a large sum of money." ”

"What to shout, Xiaoyu is better than you can manage the money, give him nothing. Su Zhenbang obviously believed in Su Chenyu very much.

Feng Ying was speechless by Su Zhenbang's words, and then she thought that this was really the case, her son had already published a book, and the money could not be managed. Now, Feng Ying has slowly relaxed her discipline towards Su Chenyu, and she is changing her opinion of Su Chenyu.

In mid-November 1986, "The Blue Mouse and the Big-Faced Cat" and "Digimon" written by Chen Shiyu and published by China Children's Literature and Art Publishing House were officially put on sale;
