After the summer vacation, Chen Lan received the first manuscript fee, 500 yuan, no more and no less.

A few months after his rebirth, Chen Lan wrote more than ten short stories and submitted them to the magazine, and 8 of them have successfully passed the final review.

Chen Lan hummed a song and discussed with the editor about the publication of the novel, because the number of this novel on the Internet was good, so the publishing house decided to print 10,000 copies of the novel for the first time, and the royalty was 7 points, and she could still get more than 20,000 yuan after counting the taxes. This is not the first time Chen Lan has published a novel, but this time the meaning is different, this is the money she earned when she was still a minor, with the manuscript fee, she can proudly show off to her parents, with the manuscript fee, she no longer has to worry that her mother will stop her from writing a novel.

After talking to the editor, Chen Lan shouted at Chen's mother in the kitchen: "Mom, I went out shopping, and the computer was not turned off." ”

The first thing I did when I received the manuscript fee was to buy a gift for Chen's father and Chen's mother, Chen's father and Chen's mother's birthday were only a week apart, and it happened that next week was Chen's mother's birthday, and then next week was Chen's father's birthday, and Chen Lan gave her a set of English learning materials on Zhang Jiajia's birthday last month, and also excused himself that he was going to buy an mp4, and gave Zhang Jiajia the mp3 he had been using.

Walking to the intersection of the street, Chen Lan was still thinking about going shopping with Zhang Jiajia, and was stunned before remembering that Zhang Jiajia was working for a summer vacation, yes, he still looked after the store for his relatives, and it was only 300 yuan a month. In 05, 300 yuan is not a lot, and Zhang Jiajia is not yet old, and it is impossible to enter the factory for short-term work, Chen Lan can't find a reason to stop Zhang Jiajia from doing this.

The scale of the Taobao store at home is not large, and it is not enough to ask someone to help, and wants to find a salary that is both easy and high for Zhang Jiajia, Chen Lan thinks that he does not have that ability, and after thinking about it, he can only let Zhang Jiajia help his relatives look at the store, earn some money and wait for high school as living expenses.

Chen Lan can indeed help Zhang Jiajia pay for the tuition and living expenses for three years of high school, but Zhang Jiajia is unwilling to let Chen Lan bear all her expenses, Chen Lan knows that Zhang Jiajia is not trying to maintain her only remaining dignity, but she hopes that her life will be better through her own efforts, rather than blindly relying on others to survive.

Chen Lan understands Zhang Jiajia's thoughts very well, but earning living expenses from part-time jobs is not a solution after all, especially in high school, where the study tasks are heavy, if you can find a job as a tutor......

Chen Lan's mind lit up with a light bulb.

But it's really boring to go shopping alone...... Chen Lan didn't know what he wanted to buy for Chen's father and Chen's mother, so he wandered around the mall and walked to the clothing area, Chen Lan had the idea of buying a couple's outfit for Chen's father and Chen's mother.

Ay! Forget it, they won't wear it out when they buy it, or buy something practical.

Since opening the Taobao store, my mother has been busy working in front of the computer most of the time, and her shoulder spine is not good for a long time, so I bought her a massager, as for my father...... Buy him a pair of leather shoes, well, that's it.

Now there are not many types of massagers, and the cheap ones are also hundreds, but fortunately, Chen Lan also brought more than 200 yuan out, and after buying the massager, there are more than 300 yuan left, which should be enough to buy a pair of durable leather shoes.

Walking into the store, Chen Lan twitched, how could he meet Ding foodies every time he went out.

Ding Yuan was accompanying a man to try on shoes, the man turned his back to her, and when he saw Ding Yuan looking in the direction of the door, the man also turned around and looked.

Chen Lan saw the man's face clearly, the man was about 40 years old, his appearance was three points similar to Ding Yuan, very elegant, if he guessed correctly, this person should be Ding Yuan's father.

Chen Lan hesitated to go over to say hello, but before she could think about it, Ding Yuan waved his paw at Chen Lan first, "Hi~ What a coincidence." ”

Somehow, Chen Lan felt that Ding Yuan's "Hi~" had a bit of a cheerful feeling.

Since Ding Yuan had already greeted him first, it seemed impolite for Chen Lan not to go over, so he had to walk over and greet him, "Hello uncle." ”

Father Ding blinked his eyes in confusion, his stunned expression was very similar to Ding Yuan, and after reacting, Father Ding said enthusiastically: "Ah~ Hello little girl." ”

Ding Yuan asked Chen Lan, "You want to buy shoes?" ”

The specialty stores sell men's shoes, and most of the customers inside are men, so it is indeed a bit abrupt for Chen Lan to come to buy men's shoes by a woman. Chen Lan didn't feel any embarrassment, and explained to the two of them generously: "I want to buy a pair of leather shoes for my father, and it will be his birthday in two weeks." ”

Without waiting for Ding Yuan to speak, Ding's father preemptively said: "We are also here to buy shoes, and we will go climbing the mountain in a few days." ”

Chen Lan saw Ding Yuan looking up at the ceiling depressedly, and wanted to laugh a little, "Then I won't bother you, I'll go and show you the leather shoes." ”

Father Ding said enthusiastically again: "Do you know what size shoes your father wears?" I'll help you choose a pair, I know what kind of shoes are comfortable to wear. ”

Chen Lan said embarrassedly: "Uncle, I don't have much money to bring......

Father Ding hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, I've always been very frugal, and the shoes I wear are very cheap, so I won't choose expensive ones for you." After speaking, Father Ding walked to the shoe area by himself.

Seeing that Ding's father was so enthusiastic, Chen Lan couldn't open his mouth to refuse, and looked at Ding Yuan helplessly.

Ding Yuan touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, "That...... My dad is more enthusiastic and a little childish, and he is spoiled like this by my mother, don't you mind. ”

Chen Lan is embarrassed, young man, is it really good for you to say that about your father? Also, being spoiled like this by your mother...... Forgive Chen Lan for his incompetence, I really can't think of how to spoil a man in his forties into such a simple character.

Ding's father quickly selected the shoes, asked Chen Lan the yardage, Chen Lan reported the yardage, and the shopping guide went to the warehouse to get the shoes. Chen Lan took the opportunity to take a look at the price, 299 yuan, which was within the price she could afford. Chen Lan tried the comfort of the leather shoes again, and sure enough, Ding's father had a good eye, and the price of these shoes was much higher.

Chen Lan had never had a boyfriend in his previous life, and Chen's father had his leg amputated after a car accident, so he had no experience in buying men's leather shoes at all, and this time he was able to buy such good shoes thanks to Ding's father.

"How? The shoes I chose are good, I have always worn leather shoes of this brand, which are cheap and comfortable. Ding's father was smug, and his face was almost written "Come and praise me", and his posture was full of energy, like a child who wanted to ask for credit.

Ding Yuan didn't want to speak at all, and stood aside and pretended to be invisible. Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh, and followed Ding's father's words and said, "Thank you, uncle, if it weren't for my uncle, I wouldn't have been able to buy such affordable shoes, my father would definitely like it very much." ”

After buying the shoes, Ding's father hurriedly took out his wallet, Chen Lan thought that Ding's father was going to rush to give money, so frightened that she immediately took out 300 yuan and slapped it on the table, "Pay!" ”

The cashier was taken aback and hurriedly made the order.

Ding's father just opened his wallet and took out a membership card, yes, a membership card.

Chen Lan: ( ̄▽ ̄")

Too much brain supplementation is a disease, and it must be cured!

After Ding's father took out his membership card, the original 299 leather shoes were discounted by 20%, and he also helped Chen Lan save 60 yuan.

Out of the store, Chen Lan was physically and mentally exhausted, refused Ding's father's offer to go to dinner together, and left the mall non-stop.

Ding's father failed to invite Chen Lan to dinner together, and boasted about his shoulders in frustration.

Ding Yuan, who had been silent: "Mom isn't making your favorite wine-stuffed meatballs tonight, are you sure you want to eat out?" ”

Father Ding immediately became energetic, "When did she say it, why didn't I hear it?!" Let's go! Let's hurry home, I'm dying of hunger after so long of strolling around the streets......"

Ding Yuan was silent, he was about to starve to death, okay.

Ding's father then sighed, "That little girl is so good, both filial and polite." ”

Ding Yuan was stunned and nodded, "Well, she's pretty good." ”
