Xia Luo was overjoyed, and hurriedly went to find the old man at the door, and when he got his hand, it turned out to be the manuscript fee sent by the magazine.

That's four hundred dollars!

It seems that the novel of "Inception" is selling well, Charlotte thought happily for a while, and then ran to the post office with the remittance slip from the magazine and took out the four hundred yuan.

When passing by the deli shop, Charlotte bought some cooked meat such as beef and pork liver for her parents, and bought some steamed buns and returned home.

Charlotte knew that at this time, life at home was very hard, and things like beef were rarely seen at the table, and now that she was earning money with her own pen, she had to eat better.

After a while, Charlotte's parents returned, and when they heard that Charlotte had earned hundreds of dollars from novels, their parents were overjoyed.

While chatting during dinner, Xia Luo intentionally or unintentionally nodded to his father Xia Sanqiang and said, "Hey, I said, Dad, do you know those newly built courtyards around our city?" ”

Xia Sanqiang drank a little wine and ate beef, and suddenly was stunned and said, "I know, the people in the factory have bought it, what's wrong?" ”

Hearing that someone made a move so quickly, Xia Luo hurriedly continued: "Let's also buy a courtyard there, it will definitely appreciate in the future!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xia Sanqiang began to hesitate: "Don't think that you kid has earned hundreds of yuan with a pen, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the courtyard there is not far from the crematorium, it's too late to hide, where to buy?" ”

Speaking of this reason, Charlotte's heart suddenly sank, and she almost forgot about it.

There is indeed a crematorium near a large courtyard house, where paper is burned every day and cannons are fired, which is very unlucky.

But Charlotte clearly remembers that in the later urban planning and expansion, the crematorium was completely moved, and on the original site of the crematorium, a large number of commercial houses were built by the developer, and the sales were very hot.

The most important thing is that with the relocation of the crematorium, the price of the courtyard house has risen rapidly on a rocket, and finally reached a very high price.

"Son, not to mention the crematorium, I just want to buy it, how can our family have so much money," her mother Li Zhimei also looked at Xia Luo lovingly at this time and said, "Just me and your father's dead salary, it's rare to die!" ”

Charlotte stopped talking, and vigorously pulled the rice from the bowl.

On the parents' side, Charlotte has this confidence to move them, after all, they only have one son, even if they threaten to jump off the building and cut their wrists, Charlotte can also get her parents to agree to buy the house there.

The only thing that gave Charlotte a headache was money.

Money is a bastard, stumped heroes.

According to the equation, it was the bastard who stumped the hero.

There is no money, even if Charlotte knows that the price of the house here will rise to Mars in the future, it is useless.

"I said, why did you suddenly ask about the house?" Xia Sanqiang saw that Xia Luo didn't speak, so he put down his wine glass and said, "Don't forget, the college entrance examination is not long away, study hard, and get into a good university is the most important thing!" ”

"Oh, that's it, son," Li Zhimei also hurriedly sandwiched a piece of beef for Xia Luo, and said bitterly, "Come to a good university, are you still worried about not having money to buy a house in the future?" ”

Hearing this, Charlotte paused and smiled bitterly in her heart.

If Li Zhimei knew that in the next ten years, even if she went to college, had excellent academic performance, and had outstanding work ability, from which point of view, this person would still not be able to afford a suite in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Li Zhimei would not know if she would think that she had pitted her son!

But Charlotte didn't bother to explain this to them, people will only believe what they see in front of them, and as for what will happen in the future, who cares?

After eating the rice in the bowl in two bites, Charlotte pushed the bowl and said: "Mom and Dad, you eat slowly, I advise you to pay more attention to the house I just mentioned, I can pack the ticket and say, if our family can buy a five-entry courtyard there, our family will not have to do anything in the future!" ”

With that, Charlotte got up and went back to her room.

Xia Sanqiang and his wife at the dinner table, look at me, I look at you, do you think Xia Luo has a fever and is talking nonsense? What's the use of buying a five-in-four courtyard? Who will buy the house there? Every day when I wake up, I cry all day, who wants to be a neighbor with a ghost?

Charlotte returned to her room, turned on the lamp, and wrote two issues of the magazine for serialization, then put down her pen and lay down on the bed to rest.

According to the manuscript fee of 400 for a manuscript, then even if the serialization is completed, it will not earn tens of thousands of yuan at most, and at that time, a long story is like those novels in later generations, with millions of words, at most hundreds of thousands and 200,000 yuan.

At present, Xia Luo is very short of money, and the [memory search pill] used in the college entrance examination does not have enough value to redeem huàn, and the courtyard that has just been built will rise to Mars in the future does not have enough money to buy.

Fortunately, Charlotte still feels that the odds are relatively good, because she has a lot of experience and wisdom in the future, and most importantly, she has the help of that mysterious mobile phone in her brain.

When he thought of this, the mobile phone interface popped up and appeared in front of Charlotte's eyes.

I just got a manuscript fee of 400 yuan today, and what I must do is to draw a lottery.

With such a little money, even if you want to exchange it, the difference in value between huàn is not a star and a half, and it is completely useless.

This time, Charlotte took a good look around the lottery interface, and there were many mysterious items listed in addition to the [Unlucky Potion], [Taekwondo Belt], and [See-Through Glasses] that had been drawn.

But a few of them are empty, that is, if Charlotte is unlucky, it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty.

Charlotte took a deep breath, wiped her palm, and then moved her mind and clicked Yes on the interface in front of her.

The lottery interface began to rotate rapidly, and Charlotte's eyes were sweating nervously with the rapid rotation of the pointer.

Finally, the pointer of the interface slowly stops in one place, and the system prompts with a ding.

"The host draws the prize, [Lucky Ring], the time limit is three minutes, please withdraw it yourself!"

Charlotte hurriedly went to check in the extraction space, only to see a ring glowing with purple light stopped there, and the description read: It can instantly increase the host's luck index, and the time limit is three minutes.

Seeing this mysterious item, Charlotte touched her head, not knowing where to use it.

Xia Luo thought that he would not be as unlucky as Mao Qiang, and the ceiling fan fell and happened to hit his head, and after thinking about it for a long time, Xia Luo finally remembered something.

If you can improve Charlotte's luck index at that time, it will really help him a lot!
