The urban area of Zhonghai in the middle of summer is depressing, and Shen Zhe also wants to blow the air conditioner at home and read a paragraph for recreation.

Other things were thrown away immediately, and when he walked into the house, the mother who opened the door seemed to be waiting for him, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked a question.

"Xiao Zhe, have you checked, do you really have a million on that card?"

Shen Zhe said: "It's not one million, it's two million and three million, the domestic royalties plus the manuscript fee, and the foreign royalties have not yet been settled." ”

After speaking, he asked strangely: "Mom, your reaction is too slow, this card has been there for a year, don't you know?" ”

"How do I know, I've been busy with your college entrance examination this year." Yang Xin let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and sat on the sofa, "That's good, I was afraid that your father's money would not be enough for you to go to college, since you have so much money yourself, we won't care about you......"

Suddenly saw Lin Yuhan behind his son, and immediately smiled: "Yuhan, come in quickly, look at the little face." ”

Lin Yuhan said shyly: "Thank you, Aunt Yang." ”

"Mom, do you mean you're done?" Shen Zhe asked Lin Yuhan to come into the house first and said with a smile.

Yang Xin went to the corner of the house to open the refrigerator, took out a piece of sliced chilled watermelon and handed it to Lin Yuhan, and replied casually: "Anyway, I have already tried my best to raise you until you are eighteen years old and admitted to college, and in the future, it will be enough to serve your father alone." ”

Shen Zhe took out the card from his trouser pocket: "Give this card back to you to keep, it's uncomfortable to pretend to be uncomfortable, I took some money and it was enough." ”

"Take it yourself, where there is no money at home, do you see what is missing in the house? Normally, your dad's salary can't be spent, and if it weren't for the cost of preparing you for college, your dad would have no problem not going to work for a few years. With such an adult, it's time to learn to manage money. ”

Shen Zhe looked around, there was really no shortage of household appliances or anything, Huaxia was developing very well, and life was quite superior.

"Why don't you change this sofa?"

Yang Xin said unhappily: "I just said that I want to let you take care of your own money, I want to spend it indiscriminately, this sofa has just been used for more than two years, and I can't even find the broken place." Last time, if you didn't help blindly, even the sofa cover was original, what to change! ”

Shen Zhe had no choice but to nod, walked into the study and put the card in the drawer.

Back in the living room, standing in front of the air conditioner and blowing, I was about to find a topic to talk about, when the landline at home suddenly rang.

The phone was in Yang Xin's hand, and she picked it up casually.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm the editor-in-chief of "Children's 365", this is Shen Zhe's fellow scholar, right?" The voice from the other side came out of the microphone clearly.

"Editor-in-chief Zhen?" Yang Xin, who was holding the earpiece, was stunned for a moment and tried to ask, "Are you Grandma Zhen?" ”

"Children's 365" is a semi-monthly magazine, almost with the establishment of New China, now more than half a century. It has a special position in the country, and the government has always been strongly supportive, and every family with children under the age of ten will subscribe to this magazine.

Almost every household has its figure, and there are still more than 20 stacks in the utility room of the Shen family, which were bought by the mother when she was a child and told her son.

Don't talk about Shen Zhe, even my mother heard the above story when she was a child, so she opened her mouth and called Grandma Zhen.

"Hehe, it's me, you're Shen Zhe's parent, is he at home?"

Yang Xin shook her hand and said excitedly: "Grandma Zhen, it's really you, oops, thank you, our family of three has read your story!" ”

Lin Yuhan's eyes also looked over, she had also heard her father read the above story by the bedside when she was a child.

"Thank you, it's all for the kids." The opposite side sounds polite.

Yang Xinqing was a little more stable and asked, "Grandma Zhen, are you looking for our Xiaozhe?" ”

"Oh, by the way, let him know that Shuck and Beta's manuscript has been published today, and by the way, I will ask any questions about the follow-up creation."

Yang Xin looked at her son in surprise: "Xiaozhe, have you submitted to Grandma Zhen?" ”

Shen Zhe had already understood, walked over and took the earpiece from his mother's hand, and said with a smile: "Hello Grandma Zhen, I am Shen Zhe." ”

"Classmate Shen Zhe, I'll call you Xiaozhe," the voice of the seventy-year-old man was still loud and clear, "The story of your two mice is very good, and in the future, it may be more famous than the scarecrow written by grandma, is there a follow-up draft?" ”

Shen Zhe only submitted six chapters of the manuscript, so he replied: "Grandma Zhen, because I don't know if it will be adopted, I didn't write it later." ”

"Oh?" Grandma Zhen on the other side seemed to smile, "So, you have a complete idea?" Can you talk to grandma first? ”

Yang Xin next to him pushed his son's shoulder and said, "Talk to Grandma Zhen well!" ”

Shen Zhe hurriedly introduced the whole story briefly into the microphone.

Shuck was born into a family of thieves, and because he did not want to bear a bad reputation, he left the household to work in exchange for food, and Beta was forced to go out to find her own life because of the persecution of Hua Maoli. The two rats meet and become good friends, meet many other critters, set up an airline, defeat pirates, and let many critters live happily ever after.

The story is very childish, but Grandma Zhen on the other side listens to it with relish.

"It's a very interesting story, the children must like it, Xiao Zhe, can you submit the manuscript once every half a month?"

"No problem, may I ask how many chapters does Grandma Zhen send in each issue?"

"Well, let's start with three chapters, but let's see the children's reactions first, this story can be written in a large length, right?"

"Yes, about three hundred chapters."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xin said to his son: "I don't care if you write other books, the matter of "Children's 365" must be regarded as a top priority, do you know?" ”

Shen Zhe scratched his head at the status of this children's literature magazine, and previously only knew that its circulation had never fallen below 3 million copies. But I forgot that every Chinese person grew up in childhood, even if he no longer reads, he still retains the memories of his childhood.

I went to the study with Lin Yuhan to read and kill time, and after ten minutes, I saw what she was drawing, and walked over curiously to take a look.

"Hey, Yuhan, you're drawing Shuk and Beta?"

Lin Yuhan looked up and asked him, "How is it, is it the same as what you think in your heart?" ”

"Tsk, that's a good drawing."

Shen Zhe looked at the cartoon mouse drawn with pencil on the paper, and suddenly his heart moved.

He also felt that after the college entrance examination, Lin Yuhan seemed to have become unaware of what to do, and his parents were at a loss after leaving work. Now she reads books at random in Shen Zhe's study every day, in fact, she doesn't have much of a love for novels, just boring.

From the busy and stressful senior year of high school, I suddenly had no study tasks, and I couldn't find my life goal for a while.

My biggest wish is to become a fashion designer, but there are still more than two months to go before the start of university, and I only have two self-reported art classes a week.

Painting is also something she has liked since she was a child, and it is her only specialty.

Shen Zhe himself is a little stuffy, and it can also be said that he is lazy, and he is unwilling to move when he can lie down. His biggest hobby is reading, and if he is given a book that he can't finish in his life, it doesn't matter if he is left dead in bed.

So the two get along with little passion and entertainment, don't sing or dance, and don't often go shopping.

It's the house that the original time and space said, but people always have to find things to do, otherwise it's rotten.

Lin Yuhan really doesn't have any other hobbies besides painting, Shen Zhe can still fight with his mother when he is idle, and the little girl is bored at home alone.

Now it seems that there is something that can be handed over to Lin Yuhan to do.

"Yuhan, what do you say, what would happen if you put Shuck and Beta with a picture?"

Lin Yuhan's eyes lit up, she had just read the original manuscript of Shuke and Beta on the computer, imagined it, and picked up the pencil.

In less than five minutes, four cartoon portraits appeared on the drawing paper.

In the first picture, the mother is educating Shuke, in the second picture, two mice come to a room, and in the third and fourth pictures, the mother introduces Shuck to the wardrobe and refrigerator.

The image of the little mouse was painted by Lin Yuhan very cutely, not only wearing clothes, but also wearing a hat.

Speaking of painting, Lin Yuhan's voice was like a silver bell: "Ah Zhe, your idea is so good, you see, it's so interesting!" ”

Shen Zhe smiled bitterly in his heart, his idea just now was to add some pictures to this fairy tale, so that young readers could associate it more intuitively.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuhan's thoughts turned quickly, but with a prompt, she came up with the idea of a comic book.

If it were to be drawn like this, the whole "Shuk and Beta" would be a huge project, and it might not take a year to complete.

On second thought, such a fairy tale combining pictures and words is more pleasing to children. You don't even need your parents to read the story anymore, you can understand the whole story just by looking at the pictures, and the text fragments below may also help with literacy.

Then this fairy tale belongs to two people to create together.

Thinking like this, Shen Zhe immediately forgot about the trouble and praised him: "Yuhan, you are really a genius!" ”
