Since October last year, "Wasteland" has been serialized in science fiction world magazine with ten chapters per issue, and by March this year, it has been serialized for six issues.

According to the publisher's arrangement, "Wasteland" will continue to serialize in the magazine for two more issues before discontinuing before releasing a physical book in mid-June, just to be able to sell more books.

So, according to the plan, the physical book of "Wasteland" will be released in June, and in the meantime, the publisher will also pay close attention to the sales of "The Martian" and "Wasteland" on Amazon.

In the past two months, if "The Martian" and "Wasteland" become popular, the publishing house will naturally hype it, especially if "Wasteland" is also alive, the physical book of "Wasteland" in China can really be "exported to domestic sales"!

When the time comes, just put a book cover like "Amazon best-selling author" or "top 10 best-selling science fiction in Amazon Online Bookstore" on the cover of the book, and the sales will have to soar!

A few days after the contract was signed, the manuscript fee was paid to Zhu Mingli's bank card, and the first manuscript fee obtained last year was only more than 10,000 yuan in the past six months, and the manuscript fee was in hand, and the figure on Zhu Mingli's account reached more than 60,000 yuan and nearly 70,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a small net worth.

The next day, Zhu Mingli asked her mother for her bank card number and transferred 50,000 yuan to her account, although she must have saved the money with Zhu Mingli's understanding of her mother, and she always said, "We won't want you either, I'll help you save it, and marry a daughter-in-law ...... later."

But Zhu Mingli told his mother that this money was for his filial piety to his parents, and he owed tens of thousands of yuan in order to move his household registration and buy land and build a house......

After Zhou Jiamei received the money transferred by her son, although she knew that her son, who had become sensible and mature since last summer, was a writer who made money writing books, she still shed tears of relief and joy when she saw such a sum of money equivalent to her hard work for a year!

The next day, Zhou Jiamei took Zhu Mingli and his son to the bank as guards, took out 30,000 yuan, and then returned the money to those relatives one by one.

Zhou Jiamei will proudly say that the novel written by Zhu Mingli is about to be published, and she has received a lot of manuscript fees, and she has just repaid the money owed......

Relatives actually know a little bit that Zhu Mingli made money writing novels, after all, the computer in Zhu Mingli's house was sold by Zhu Mingli for the manuscript fee he earned, they only thought that Zhu Mingli made a little money, but now it seems that they consciously underestimated Zhu Mingli......

Seeing Zhu Mingli, who was following his parents with a immature face, but was as tall as Zhu Guangming, and acted calmly, the relatives clearly felt for the first time that Zhu Mingli's family, or the old Zhu family, had been poor for eight generations and had really raised a real dragon......

After a few days, it was Friday, March 20, and February 24 of the lunar calendar.

This day is Zhu Mingli's 15th birthday, according to the consistent habit of a family like the Zhu family, birthdays are only more meaningful birthdays, such as 12 years old.

After the age of 12, you are not a child, and you should be sensible when you grow up. So when Zhu Mingli was 12 years old, his family celebrated him well, and a few aunts and uncles came to eat and bought cakes.

And then it's 18 years old, this is naturally different, and then it's 20, 30 years old, other birthdays are not celebrated, and it goes without saying that the days were not good in the past, but now the economic conditions are better, and the family who has a birthday, just get something delicious, and it doesn't make a big deal.

However, this year, the parents decided to celebrate Zhu Mingli's 15th birthday, because the matter of receiving tens of thousands of manuscript fees at once made them realize that Zhu Mingli is no longer a "child", he has really grown up, and his height, which is even higher than his father Zhu Guangming, indicates that this family has grown up as a pillar.

So Zhou Jiamei proposed that Zhu Mingli should celebrate this birthday, and asked Zhu Mingli's opinion.

His birthday is also his mother's Good Friday, my mother said that I want to celebrate it, Zhu Mingli is not hypocritical, just do it, so the family went to a Yuxiang restaurant outside to have a good meal, and my mother specially bought a double-layer cake with a diameter of 20 centimeters and lit 15 candles, so that Zhu Mingli made a wish.

When he returned home after the celebration, Zhu Mingli received an unexpected birthday wish, which came from Wu Xinyan!

You must know that at this time, QQ has not yet launched the function of friend's birthday reminder, Zhu Mingli's QQ profile has birthday information in it, but if it is not for someone who is interested in going to see it, it will not know.

For example, Zhu Mingli had the heart to read the personal information filled in Wu Xinyan's QQ profile before, and knew that her birthday was July 29th, and other people's birthdays were too lazy to pay attention to them.

On February 24 of the previous new calendar, Zhu Mingli exercised with Wu Xinyan as usual in the afternoon, and Wu Xinyan asked Zhu Mingli if it was his birthday during the run.

Zhu Mingli told her that his birthday was lunar at the time, because he didn't think about it at the time, so he didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, on the night of the lunar birthday, Zhu Mingli received a birthday wish from Wu Xinyan on QQ again, Zhu Mingli suddenly realized at this time that after more than half a year of getting along, the girl on the other side of the screen may also be a person with a "heart", because apart from her, Zhu Mingli did not receive any birthday wishes from classmates and friends......

This unexpected discovery made Zhu Mingli a little sleepless at first on the night of his 15th birthday, and after falling asleep, he had a wonderful dream, so that before he could get up at the usual time to get up, he got up and changed into a pair of pajama pants before he got into the bed again......

I had a good weekend, the Monday of the new week, March 23, 2009, and the 100th countdown to the high school entrance examination.

In the last class in the afternoon, the students of the entire junior high school were summoned to the back entrance of the school, the basketball court between the auditorium and the teacher's dormitory building, to hold a 100-day pledge meeting for the countdown to the high school entrance examination.

Teacher Su, who has been sitting on the throne for more than a semester and teaches politics, gave another passionate and clichéd political lesson to the more than 300 students present.

Then last semester, the school sports meeting 1500-meter race at the beginning of the first place and then almost ran last, the first place in the final examination of last semester, Zhu Mingli remembered that Liu Qi, who later took the high school entrance examination "one mistake and a thousand years of hatred", as a student representative, led the students of the whole year to send:

The oath of "100 days of struggle, let ambition and wisdom shine in June, cherish 100 days, let the dream of flying spread its wings in June............

However, during an hour of exercise in the afternoon, Zeng Peng and others left the school after two laps on the playground, and then left the school and went to the Internet café happily......
